4:19 am - A Night For Memory
|
Who can be two, and two one?
When the joining of the two becomes one,
and the one moves towards exstacy,
reaching that moment in unison.
Life is honestly very good.
It is that quiet time at night, right before the first breath of morning. Silence is kept in the dew on the grass, and in the mist on the water.
I am in my room, the lights are low, a woman is lieing on my bed in nothing but my T-shirt drawing, while I sit here and write about nothing in particular.
It is a lazy night....no work tomorrow. For now I will sit back and enjoy my life, and admire the view of gorgeous ass perched on my bed.
That is all for this evening. Go and enjoy life, I know I am.

5:24 pm - Work
|
At work. Tired.
I have begun writing again.
It is interesting to see the gaps, the months and sometimes years that roll by in this journal.
Still. It gives me a place to vent, a place to yell, a place to think.
Life is complicated. Drama is thick. Girls are pretty.
Man I love women.
Sucker for a red head.
Random thoughts, my brain is thinking slow. Thoughts forming like the slow drip of of calcium infused water forming the stalagtites and stalagmites of deep.
Perhapse if we wait long enough, a great pillar of a thought will emerge.
Well, not today anyway.

12:11 am - Long Time No See
|
Well hello world. At least the world of the the keyboard, screen, and the typed word.
I have been remiss in writing lately. My life has been in flux.
Work has increased its demands, and life demands that I learn what I want and start sticking to the morals that I sometimes so handly "forget" that I am attempting to apply to this thing I call a life.
Hmm, emo.
Lets branch off from there then.
Fate.
It would seem to me that fate is a circular statment. Almost like the circle of: "God is because I believe, why do you believe, because God is."
If fate does exist, and we assume that the human life is a chain of events, not singular moments in time unconnected to the world around us, then I believe I can make a convencing statment that the belife of fate in itself is circular.
If an event, relationship, or action is assumed to have been fate, then we have to assume that all points leading up to that event, relationship, or action are fated too. They would have to be, again assuming that it is indeed a chain reaction that brought a human to this particular moment in time. So if we assume that the time and events leading up to this moment of fate, were also fate, then we can say that everything ever done up untill that time was fate.
At this point we have completely cut out human decision making. Even if one says well, I can change my fate, and I will sit in my house and starve to death thus defeating fate, if you truely believe in the principle of fate, then you were fated to slovenly waste your life in a starved stupor gnawing at your mattress in your last agonizing gasps of breath as the hunger pains and the malnurishment take you.
It would appear that the only way to defeat fate is to not agree that it exists.
Unless of course we make some different assumptions at the begining.
Fate is not a principle like the 2nd law of Thermodynamics "The second law of thermodynamics summarizes that totally different events involving all kinds of energy have a common cause", instead fate is an idea.
The idea of fate is simply that exploring new terrian, and relationships feels so right that you have to only assume that it was ment to be. As humans on the whole tend to be a very misserable species, when something so enriching comes along, something so mezmerizing, so utterly perfect you just have to believe that the divine had some doing in it (assuming again there is a divine, did I ruin the moment? Alright moving on, sorry to slow you down).
So Fate.....
Law in Stone or Law of the Heart. While neither of my arguments are likely perfect, I think it is safe to say that each person molds the idea of fate to fit in their needs and vocabulary.

1:37 pm - Ok Ok Ok

Soooo: My Flip Flops are only simi-Trendy - Timberlane what do I know?
Also Clint is right, my Video Card has nothing to do with my sound. I do not have a sound card...my motherboard had built in soundware....but I guess the new install of windows did not detect that. Oh well, soon I will be buying a new computer...though my work really should give us computers.
--------------THE PLAN--------------------------
So:
Rachel is comming out here on June 10th for 11 days. She is going to see the area, and we are going to hit Vegas and hang out.
Then we are going to get a flight schedual built till about October, when she is comming out here again and we will be looking for a place in Orange Country together. Wow, she is moving out here for me....amazing.
Wintergaurd season she will be flying back and forth to Kingsport to work on the floor/flag/riffle/saber work and write the routines.
Next year she will find a job out here (unless her Wintergaurd boss says not to worry about the flying back and forth plan, then it will be a bit sooner) and we will attempt to make a life togther in this Crazy LA city sprawl.
Thats the plan.
Time for work! Must go get promoted again. Associate Producer here I come!!!!
49 days!!

12:56 pm - The Scoop
|
Alright, So I have my new Flip-Flops on and it gave me the urge to type.
So, 2 days before I left for my trip to Tennessee, my computer died. Then on the 10th of April, Brian took me to the Airport and I got on my way.
When I arived in Charlotte, Rachel was there to meet me, and we had our first kiss by the Baggage claim. Awwwww. Not a very romantic setting, but it was wonderful.
I was worried that the 3 hour drive back was going to be awkward seeing as how we hadn't been around each other in 7 years, but it wasn't. The two of us picked up right where we left off and laughed and flirted the whole way to her apartment. It was wonderful.
So the next couple of days were amazing, the 2 of us chilling out, and sitting in parks eating lunch. I got to meet serveral of her friends, Alexa and Tom, they were both excellecnt people.....well Tom is anyway.
I went and saw her parents again, and they were just as nice as I remembered them, we all had a great time together and talked up a storm and laughed alot.
Then came the suprise.
When I first planned the trip I ask Clint if he could make it over to see me, so we could hang out, but he said he wasn't sure, and that it was a long drive (and it is 7.5 hours). So I thought that I was not going to get to see him. Unknown to me Rachel contacted Clint, and they planed together to get clint to Johnson City to see me. So late Friday night Rachel suddenly asks me to go to applebee's to see "Tom" it was a little weird, but I said sure. When we pulled up and went in...there was Clint sitting waiting for us.
Wow. I can not believe I have a girl that contacts people she does really know and plans suprises for me. That is incredible. It was great to see Clint again, and the 3 of us all have the same brain so we had a blast.
Next day we went shopping, and I stole stuff from the mall....cause I am a clepto, and then we went shoe shopping and I bought some flip-flops....designer flip-flops...I feel pretty..oh so pretty...umm....right.
Clint got to eat his FIRST PALS meal!!! We went to the river and ate and then went to a Brass Ensamble conducted by one of Rachel and Tom's friends. All in all it was an amazing day. We will leave out the part were I got tipsy and loud and said stupid stuff in the resturant. We are luckily past that.
We bid clint farewell on Sunday morning, and he committed himself to another 7.5 hour drive. What a good friend he is. Clint is just an amazing man...some day I hope to grow up just like him.
Easter dinner we had at Rachel's parents house. It was very very good, and we had fun talking and watching Faulty Towers.
But my trip came to a close WAY WAY too quickly. The Charlotte Airport was the scene of much crying as Rachel and I parted company....blech.
Well now it is 51 days till she flys out here to stay with me for 11 days, so its back to the count down for us.
Yesterday was crazy cyclone of death at work. The office went through a face lift while I was gone, and there was software testing and most of my team was sick, so all in all it was CRAZY. But hopefully this week will be claming down.
So 51 days hun.

11:30 pm - Life's Very Breath Stops
|
I left and came back.
I forgot to update....but there was so much to do...and then my computer broke.
I finnaly got my computer simi-fixed thanks to Brian's cracked windows CD, but my computer still randomly freezes completely. I lost everything in the crash...3 years of school work, countless pictures, 5 gigs of music...none of which I have CDs for...even lost some porn.
Anyway...I need to find a place to live in 9 days....the count down begins again..and there are several.
I left and found the other part of my life.
I have a great job here in LA....but I realized I really am just a southern boy...and my Wife is waiting in Tennessee.....time for a world of re-evaluation.
9 days till I am homeless
52 days till she sees my "current" world.
More about the trip later.
current mood:  exhausted
current music: None...its all gone...booo

1:28 am - The Day and Night.
|
The day was great, weird, long but great.
Picked Brian up and went to Knott's Berry Farm theme park. Met Sam Alex Josh and Zack at the gate, after I screamed at little kids and got strange looks, and Brian's "white boy dancing" almost got us kicked out.
We rode lots of rides, and Zack and Alex were determined to get me to throw up...and we rode lots of strange stomac twisting rides. However the Tea cups, where you get to control the spin was what fucked me up the most.
Still I managed not to hurl....just got very very sick and had to sit down alot. We had a blast though. Josh is a great guy..and is Sam's "Big Brother". Sam was wonderful as always, and Zack was a dick-face as always...grunting at women, making rude comments and being the ghetto boy he is. Funny as fuck.....but...well mortifying as well.
After Knotts, we went to dinner at a pizza place in Long Beach and met up with Ann and Garrett. We ordered pizza and everyone ate, Brian Alex and Zack proceeded to start getting drunk.
Rachel called and I talked to her for awhile...she saved me from the insanity for a bit...but then Garrett showed up yelling about how he missed me....so I had to go.
I went back in...and eveyone drank alot...more people showed up and eveyone drank more. Total we were: Alex and Sam, Brian, Zack, Josh, Chris, Garrett, and Ann. Onlue Alex, Ann, Brian and I were from my team. Still we had a good time...despite Zack and Chris not getting along with Brian Ann and Garrett...Just different crowds honestly.
So we hung out at the pizza place awhile cause the 2 20 year olds couldn't go to a bar. After that, we went to the coffee shop that Alex used to work at, but we got there too late and it closed. So Chris used his connections and got a bar to open for us...and provide free drinks and get the 20 year olds in.
So we went to this Irish pub and everyone got shit faced...they even convinced me to have a few drinks....not beer...I had a Captin&Coke and 3 shots of Baileys....yes I am gay. Who cares? Well the shots were actually glasses....about 10-14 oz. So I had quite a bit...but was still the only sober one there.
Half way through Josh leaves to go see his girlfriend....and then 30mins later Sam and Alex get horny and so they leave to quote "Go get their fuck on." Then Ann starts climbing all over Garrett and they take my car keys to go fuck in the back of my van. So Brian Zack Chris and I and about 3 mexicans are in the bar.
Brian is a funny drunk...but he talks WAYYYYY too much...and Zack and Chris are ghetto...and were getting pissed about him "running his mouth" and the mexicans were selling dope to Chris...and all in all I was at a bar open past legal time, with mexicans selling drugs, and Zack and Chris about to kill Brian.....good times.
I keep telling Brian not to antagonize Chris....(the guys who was buying the drinks, opened the bar, and had bought lots of drinks at the last place). Still drunk people are had to control. Right before the fight started I managed to down about 1liter of water...kill my tipsiness, grab Zack and Brian and leave.
We come back to Ann and Garrett in the van fucking...awkward moment.....Then we take Zack back to the coffee shop for his car...and then have to drive all the way back to down town long beach to drop Ann and Garrett off at their car. Brian rode up front with me...but we could hear Garrett eating Ann out in the back...and her moaning.....ugggggggggg.....turning up the music didn't seem to help...
They kept trying to talk to us during it too......"So do you guys want to come back to our place and watch movies and drink??" WEIRD......drunk people. Anyway by the time we got to their car all the boys had to pee so bad it hurt.....so I had my first public drunk group male piss.....cause evey place was closed.....Ann went around kicking us in the ass while peeing in the parking lot making Brian pee on my van......(I am ashamed of this, but also amused...since this is honestly the first not straight laced thing I have done in...well...many years).
ANYWAY. We said no to going to Ann's place...and I took Brian home....on the way his strange girl/fuck buddy called and they freaking had phone sex while he was sitting next to me......ARRRRGGGG.
Dropped Brian off....feeling very under-sexed and alone.....and gross...and tipsy(after peeing) and still a little sick from the roller coasters.....But still it was a great evening...I spent way too much money....but I needed the fun after my week.
Tomorrow is busy as hell, and I need to get up early....but I am so tired....who knows....

4:31 am - The Worst Day....in a LONG time.
|
OMG its late...and I am tired.
Day started off all wrong.
My roommate was home again...which is strange cause I thought she worked durning the day. I asked her if she has had the last few days off, she said "no, well something like that." Maybe she got fired?
Then she asked if she could use my computer...cause her's doesn't work...even though she is paying for the internet...and I am stealing my wireless connection.
I said yes like a dope...cause I can never say no to girls. That meant that her yappy dog was going to come into my room. I told her to make sure that the dog didn't pee or poop on anything...cause its always doing that on my stuff. She acted suprised, like it had never happened before, despite me telling her every fucking day.
So day didn't start well. My fault.
Day got worse. After picking up Brian from his apartment, Rachel called and I made some stupid joke and basicly was a strange, bad mood person. Honestly thinking about it, what I said was not bad..sort of silly/stupid. But I am sure the tone was not welcome.
Anyway I got to work in a worse mood. Day gets worse.
Work starts I can not get my software running to get my team set up. I am in a bad mood, and am exausted from working over time every day and barely sleeping. I have to get another person to cover for me for the first 2 hours, and my boss basicly lets me know he is not pleased. I make some snappy comment about not really giving a shit and to get off my back. yeah.
Boss pissed me pissed, tired and now hungry. Day gets worse.
I am now 2hrs behind on my work and eveyone is mad. I get the team switched over to me and start working on my petitions. I miss some change on my team managment software, and make a fool out of myself by asking a question that had been answered. I make a silly comment: "I guess I rode the short bus to work today." Moments later, my bosses boss is pissed about the non-appropriate comments made. This after just havening an honest conversation with a team member if ravaging a womens cunt and stabbing it, or stabbing it first was worse. This is productive work talk, a supervisor walks by and thanks us for being on task. Short bus - damned to hell. Stabbing a womans cunt - pat on head.
Boss pissed boss's boss pissed, me too tired to be pissed, now really hungry. Day gets worse.
Finnaly head to lunch. Have managed to catch up on work. However uppon returning all hell has broken loose. Work piles up, boss loads me up with his work too. I am exausted need a soda. Get an email from Owner....soda's cost too much, no more sodas. I feel rage building up again. I take my soda anyway...piss off world.
Everyone less pissed. Day gets better.
Main boss tells everyone, "no one worked hard enough, everyone must stay for an hour extra." The place gets angry, I get more tired, my boss informs me he is going home....thus you get actually 3 more hours of over time. I get pissed again.
Boss gone. Me pissed. All employees pissed. Day gets worse.
Finnaly at 4AM I am going home. Drop Brian off, feel guilty for alienating Rachel, hope to make her feel better soon. Exausted get home, hoping to go right to bed. Come into find the yappy dog has pissed on my pillows and blankets. Watch in horror as my cats piss on my bed too to try and cover the dog piss sent. I am now at suicidle stage.
Me pissed. My bed pissed on. Day is much worse.
I go to start laundry. Laundry mat is only open till 11:00PM. Fuck that. I kick in the door, and begin to wash my cloths. Run out of money on my stupid laundry card. Steal my roommates to fix the problem. Sly grin.
Stolen card. My day gets better.
Now I wait till I can sleep. Another 45-1hr till bed. I am not sleeping much tonight.
current mood: aggravated

3:08 am - DJ Neglect...: (
|
So I have missed a few days. 6 to be exact.
Work continues at an un-ending hyped up pace. We are all bracing for a HUGE patch on Tuesday, and yes people who know where I work, will know what that means (except Rachel).
We have added a new server last Tuesday which brought a bunch more realms, so setting that all up has been hellish as well. New realms are very whinny I find....tiresome.
In the rest of the hardware and software the crippling latency continues. God save our customers, and us trying to fix it.
I got asked to put in my Senior promotion papers on umm, Wednesday, and though I rushed to do it and make it well, I knew I would not get it due to my noobness. Which is ok, cause I am just happy they told me to put in my papers.
My team has gone under a huge flux of new-commers coming in and old-timers moving up. Alex, Brian, Ann and I will likely be together for at least several more months, no matter the other changes.
Well thats work updated. Life update is a bit shorter, as my life is mainly my work.
That cool apartment in the post below was bought out from under me, comes with shopping for new places 1 month out and not being able to move immediately.
I am hoping to find a place this weekend, as my trip to oakie-ville (aka Beautiful Tennessee)is comming up quickly, and I would really like to have a place to move into when I get back on the 18th of April.
In other wonderful news Rachel and The Cast competed in the Mid South Power Regional and took First Place, which puts them in high spirits as they head into the World Championship on April 8th. I am SO proud!
So, everything is great, money is short, time is flying, I am having a blast, I am sucssesful, in love, and still can not spell!
I miss Rachel and Clint alot though... I am always thinking of E-beth and her new one, and remembering all my friends and loved ones from Colorado, as they scatter themselves to the wind. Jess is moving to DC, Cris is moving god knows where, the other Rachel is moving east as well, Clint is in Alabama, Jake is Idhao or some such, OMG I can't keep track of them all.
I remember that big last dinner Clint threw for Jess and I's going away, so strange to think that most of those people at that table I will never see again, and now live elsewhere, that was only like 4 months ago; how life changes.
Well its late an I still need to get my application together for tomorrows Apartment hunt.
13 Days till I see her again. Bulldawgs, woof.

3:56 am - Late Night Marches
|
Well. One weekend day down.
I drove down to Dana Point today. I drove the 2 blocks from my apartment to the Pacific Coast Hwy, then drove the 22 miles to Dana point. Wow what a pretty drive.
However, INSANELY SLOW. It took about 1hr in light traffic. On the way back, I took the the 5 and it took 15mins back to my door.
I got down there and couldn't find the apartment that I had book marked. It sucks not having a printer to print out the directions and being to lazy to write them down.
Anyway very pretty little town. Came back home and found an awesome apartment in Long Beach. It looks awesome, and I called the guy and got an appointment for Thursday morning. If you want pictures check this sight:
http://www.crai.gs/longbeach.htm
Last night my team and I and our supervisor went out to eat at an authentic mexican place in the Newport ghetto. It is litterally a shack with some parking around it, and some picnic benches....and its open 24/7 for the late night drug dealers (no joke).
I thought we were going to get shived, but luckily Alex gave out about 4 cigaretts and then they were all our friends...though none of the spoke english...they keep asking if any of us knew a little spanish...and I was too scared to step up and translate.
Anyway...the food was excellent. I had really great Orchada, 2 beef tacos, and a breakfast burrito that was just insanely good. All cooked in the most unsanitary place, and had TONS of cheese and grease....oh it was wonderful.
Tonight I watched "The Usual Suspects" a great movie, good action, good crime, great movie. I highly recommend it to anyone.

5:10 am - Quicky
|
Hey there.
I am exausted like no other. 5 hours of OT. omg I am going to pass out.
Before I do:
I had to write up a report on why we needed to fire this GM. Which was tough, cause I am pretty new to the job, but they already have me evaluating others and I just don't feel its my place. Still I sat down and wrote the report and got acolades for a job well down, and a well written report. Feels weird profiting off firing others....
Anyway, being team point, head of metrics, trainer to the new guy, evaluation officer, and everything else I am is getting to be a heavy load. If it wern't for Rachel, Alex, and Ann, my life would go: Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work...with little sleep..and more work.
Rachel keeps me going and talks to me all the time. We have discovered that we are in love, and are now cooing at each other enough to make a deaf man up-chuck his lunch. We are at that stage in a relationship were everything is golden, and neither party can do wrong. We are disgustingly cute...and I LOVE IT.
Like right now...when I am at my low of the day, lonely and tired, she just called me, even though its like 8:30 in the morning there, and she is in some strange town in a room full of 12 people that are trying to sleep, and has no minutes left on her phone. Amazing.
Night.

5:12 am - Digi-man
|
So the day started normaly.
Then Brian called me and needed a ride to work. So I had to leave early, no problem. I go check the mail...up a package waiting for me. Hmmm. So I go grab the package and it turns out to be my digital camera that I got thanks to CLINT. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY. The day before your birthday I get a present from you!!! Get your self a popcicle for me.
Anyway, so I head off to get Brian, and get completely lost, as usual. No problem I avoid a major traffic jam on the 405 and finnaly pick up Brian and we head to work.
Work goes normaly, which Brian buying me a burrito as big as my head for my troubles. Finish out work, and get my 30day review on my 53rd day....so they are a little behind. Still I get an excellent review and my lead said I am due for a promotion on my 60day review...so I need to keep up the pace.
After work Ann, who was out sick yesterday said lets go get a light sandwich at a grocery store, so Brian and I hop in her car and proceed to get lost, then Ann hangs an illegal U-turn on a red light and gets pulled over. So we sit around while the officer who obvisouly thinks we have been drinking checks us out.
The officer is this large mexican/asian man with the smallest effimenat voice on the planet...and we have to try hard to keep from laughing at him. This officer obviously has a power issue, as he has 3 guns...not just one. Anyway Ann ends up not having anything correct so we sit there for an hour till he lets Ann go with some like 300 dollar ticket....so we return to the parking lot sandwichless.
Anyway I take Brian home, and then come home and bust out the Digital. I have thus spent hours taking completely random pictures. It is AWESOME...and boy am I silly/stupid/moronic when I have unlimited film.
Must sleep now.....
23 days...BARNSTORMERS....See you soon hun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLINTOC, clinty clint fish, clintsters, GDLSA...and all the rest.

3:58 am - The Great House Hunt
|
So its starting to be less than a month before I need to have a place....and I don't have a place.
However, today I did some heavy looking (well in comparison to other days) and have come up with 4 really exciting prospects.
See this is the problem. I don't want to live somewhere crappy. After this exspensive place, I want to live somewhere comprable in style, but half the rent. So I have limited my options to nill....but thats ok...if I get depreate I can still live somewhere crappy far from the coast.
Right now, through Rachel's great efforts, and my searching I have 3 possiblities, that I am going to call tomorrow. Honestly the one that Rachel found is the best right now, its in Dana Point, CA. Dana Point is about 15min south of Irvine...so its a good hour drive to LA with no traffic, but it is a small little beach town removed from the urban sprall. Its very italian riviara. The apartment complex, is one building that is very nice classic spanish, 4 stories and beautifully landscaped. The kicker is that it is on the beach....no seriously..its across the street. The other great thing is that it is cheap for the area. About 700 for a studio and 820 for a single...all utilities included. So at this point it is my perfect option.
I have another prospect over by the Traffic Circle near downtown long beach (yes that is the area's name). And my finnal prospect is another exciting place in Seal Beach. The apartment is loft style over a bakery, and is one block from the beach. So very cool all in all...hope something comes through.
I am craving pizza right now like nothing else.... must sleep or I will be forced out into the night to scavange for food by my insanly hungry gullet.
25 days, Redeye! Mo tea Qura.

5:23 am - Skipped a Day
|
It is now Tuesday. I skipped right over Monday.
Aw well.
Yesterday was awesome. I woke up slow and spent like 2 hrs on the phone with Rachel. Then I went and got the mail and found a lovely package from her in my mail box!! Chocolates and a Card!! The card was so sweet, and the chocolates were, well, YUMMMYYYY.
Her card is now featured prominatly on my one piece of furniture in my room. After getting the mail, I drove to Long Beach to hang out with my friend Alex and his girlfriend. On the way I fought traffic and talked more to Rachel, had a quick talk with Clint, and got simi-lost.
Alex is extremely smart and articulate for being as educated as he is. He basicly teaches himself everything thing there is to know about Art History and Religons. Completely atheist, he and I find common ground in our Bush bashing, religion bashing, and pretty much making fun of everyone else. We argued with some mormons and a jew about the existance of god and the universe. Alex made the old guy cry by pointing out the falicy behind selectivly believing in the Bible; thus proving that the man did not actually believe in God, or at least not enough to go to heaven.
Yeah we are dicks. Alex is Romanian Euro trash, he dresses like he could be part of the band Flogging Molly, speaks perfect english, some spanish, and cusses in Romanian. We hung out at this old coffee shop where he used to work. His wife was inside working the counter, while he and his current girlfriend and I drank free Mocca-latte's and energy drinks on the patio and watched the sunset; yeah odd.
We then caught up to Alex's younger brother who is studing to become a Neuro-Surgeon, and Alex's oldest friend Zach. Zach and Alex were high-school drunks that had a band, and slept around alot. Since then they have continued their binge drinking in Irish and Romanian pubs in Long Beach, and have more stories about being drunk, passing out, banging some random chick, being high, throwing up in odd places, being stabbed, going to jail, and peeing in public than Tuckermax.com; which is saying something.
They wanted to show me around Long Beach as I might be moving up there, so we looked around at apartment complex's and then went to Hooters, as it was the only place to serve alchohol and let Sam in(Alex's 19year old Girlfriend in).
The girls at Hooters were fuggly as par for the cource, we watched as some foriegn business men who obviously had wives oggled the girls and over tip them. Here, Zach and Alex and Sam informed me about the wife back at the coffee shop, and how the three of them met, how they all dated, and went to school. Honestly it could have been Jerry Springer....well maybe only Maurry.
Alex and Zach proceeded to get very drunk over many rounds, and finnaly we started walking back to the car. Along the way we passed a porn/erotic store, that Alex loudly declared that we had to go into. So we went in and survayed the goods. Alex and I found some shirts that had a hand flipping the bird with the words "Customer Service" we are going to buy them online (cheaper) and wear them to work. Our statement about our job.
All in all I had a blast. They made fun of me quite a bit for not drinking, ever being drunk, or ever getting high....but I think I held my own in the insult department, and sheer perversion factor, so came out alright.
Finished the night off by a long drive home, and 2 more hours of talking to my favorite person ( if you can't figure out who I am talking about you have a learning disablity ). Made some dinner, and worked out.
Awesome day. Today I have to get some work done!!!! But I will probably go out with Ann and Brian tonight...lol.
26 more days lovely....26 more days. Red Barons!

4:39 am - Night! Bed!

So my new quote:
Peter North porn is like Sex with a Tie and a coffee mug, like sex with Lumberg.
Ron Jeremy porn is more disgusting than group sex with Yoda, Chewy, and Jabba.
Yes I am a geek.
28 days! Blackbirds!
Rachel says: 2 Movies, either we are in Rehab or soon we will rise from the dead and be flesh eating zombies!

I am headed to bed. Not much to write.
I think I am pretty much "dafftly in love" as E-beth calls it.
After undergoing a last min C-section, E-beth and baby Rocco are doing amazingly well; I am sure Rob is relieved. It has been a few days now, too. My heart and strength go out to them.
Must find a place to live....right now looks like I am moving to Long Beach, bit of a drive, but prices are actually affordable.
29 Days now. Black Panthers!
Thank god its finnaly less than a month...or the same as a Feb leap year.
current mood:  groggy
