I'm sorry I haven't written back. I'm just too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired. too fucking tired.

Ahhhh... it's good to be back to work, finally. No, don't give me that look... vacation is nice, but I was getting bored. It's been too cold outside to do anything.
I like my job.

Hey, do you remember when toothbrushes were just little plastic sticks with bristles on them? My new toothbrush has, I believe, been streamlined to reduce friction during re-entry. It is...

I finally got it. I can snowboard now. I felt like I was flying. I left my toothbrush in the mountains.

Well! Looks like I'm going up to spend the weekend in a cabin in the mountains, as of a few minutes ago. Surprise! Instant ski trips are a very nice thing about living in Colorado. I'll talk to you crazy nutcases later.

My life is poetry! Everything is so beautiful. I'm just not talented enough to tell you about it. I could practice writing, maybe take a class, maybe start a career. But then I realised, as I lay in bed one night during my recent visit to my parents house, that I'm wasting my time trying to retrieve that one perfect summer. 1995 at EMF. Or...

Well, thank god that's over. So's not to spread unfair slander, I will point out that Tryon, NC (pop. 1400) is a really, really cool town by the standards of small carolina mountain villages. There's actually a surprisingly interesting artist/artisan community, and a disproportionately large number of very decent restaurants. But it is, in fact, surrounded by the most stereotypical of redneck country. So there...

What's the difference between the rolling stones and a scottish shepherd?

The rolling stones say "hey, you, get offa my cloud!"
A scottish shepherd says "hey, McCloud, get offa my EWE!"

Thank you. I'll be here all night, ladies and gentlemen.

Looks I'm flying into good ol' Tryon, NC for christmas to see my parents. Tryon is a little town in the appalachian mountains with a population of 1,400 (15,000 on the weekend of the barbeque festival). It's about as much fun as it sounds.

I could have gotten a cheaper ticket than I did, but I didn't want to stay for more than a few...

I went to a christmas party tonight. I had a little too much eggnong.. I made gallons, and someone had to drink it.
It's not the alcohol, it's all that dairy. Who knew so many people didn't really care for eggnog? But that's okay, that's not important. It's...

Here's a mildly drunken post from your favorite coughee! I need to change my username... I really hate it, I would never have picked it if I'd known this was a fucking "community", and I'm taking suggestions.

tonight: The Skulls w/ The Mansfields and Stoli and the Beers

A fine and dandy punk show. Seriously punk punk... I just love it. I love the 2...

A Funny Thing:

My freshman year in college, I got my first credit card, a Citibank Visa. It had a $400 credit limit. I ran it up immediately, and then didn't pay them a cent until five years later, recieving angry letters and telephone calls from various collection agencies the entire time. By that time late fees and collection bills had run it up...
