one of those days

September 26th, 2008

Well, I must say that today has been one of the finer birthdays that I can recall.
Normally, I dread my birthday as it ends up being a pathetic series of incredibly unfestive events. Today, however, has been quite nice.
It’s a wonderful reminder that things can change drastically, even over the course of just one year.
Now I’m off to hopefully watch Obama start to change things.
Happy Birthday to me!

State of affairs.

I am amazed and saddened by the seemingly endless decline of all things around me.

Sometimes, it is a chore to drag myself out of bed in the morning. This discomfort has recently been accentuated by the radio tuned to NPR, serving as herald to the next big slide.

I am shocked that our society was willing to allow our foundation to rot so fundamentally.

I hope that there can be change in the way that we collectively live our lives, with a focus on rebuilding our collective foundation. I fear that we as a society are far beyond repair.

May 14th, 2008

ok people…

ADIEU is NOT the same as ADO.

If you say without further adieu, you sound like a fucking idiot… strike that, you sound like a PRETENTIOUS fucking idiot.

Please stop it.

Now, back to your regular scheduled feeds…

Happy VD to all!

Rah and I had a nice night, even though she’s feeling crappy..

I’m a little salty ’cause she’s leaving tomorrow for the weekend.

Secretly, I’m kind of excited to get some work done.

…and play some video games.

Oh, on the off chance that someone reads this that I haven’t actually talked to in a while, Sarah and I are getting married this summer.

werd.

So much better…

January 30th, 2008

I’ve had a horrible day. Felt sick all day, and just completely out of it. I’ve been surly and bitchy.

But that’s all changed now, thanks to Rodney Anonymous.

Ah, so much better now.

Week of wonder.

Sarah leaves in about an hour for a week.
lame.

Dom gets to Chicago in about two days for almost a week.
awesome.

Now, if only I wasn’t spending every free second sitting in front of the computer…

ugh.

Music is weird.

January 25th, 2008

I think Liberation Frequency by Refused might be one of my favorite songs ever.

Also, I’m listening to Parliament’s Chocolate City right now.

Ha… different by a letter.

Awesome.

Couple of quick things…

-Amazon Prime is pure genius. I know damned well that I’m paying a flat rate to force myself to buy more stuff… and yet I can’t help myself. I have a hard time buying things from anywhere else. Stupid Amazon and stupid me (or.. smart Amazon and smart me…)

-Chicago is fucking cold. I know that this is not news or anything. I forget sometimes, though just how cold it is. When I’m sitting out at the bus stop for 20 minutes waiting for the bus, I remember. Holy crap do I remember.

-I suck at keeping in touch with people. People that I care about and miss. I will literally remind myself everyday to get in touch with Ben and Jape… and I have yet to do it. It’s been months. WTF.
Okay… I took five minutes to email both of them. whew, that’s slightly better.

-I’m getting married this year. At some point. It makes me laugh, because last weekend was our 9 year anniversary. Hilarious.

Excellent excellent.

I really suck.

At quitting smoking.

Actively seeking ideas.
