I have perfected the art of choreography on the Life Fitness machine. I catch, out of the corner of my eye, people on other machines looking at me strangly as my arms, legs, and head move in time with the music screaming into my ears, unheard by anyone else. It's a gift really, this talent of dance I do on the Life Fitness machine. This...

Look at me...giving Speed a run for his money...
Yo listen up
Here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him
Inside and outside
Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...
I'm blue da ba dee...
I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I ware
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me
I'm blue da ba dee...

I give way better hugs in person
I want to go bowling now

Dearly beloved ..
we are gathered here today
to get through this thing called LIFE.
electric word "life", it means forever
and that's a mighty long time
but I'm here to tell you
there's something else .. the afterworld
a world of never ending happiness
you can always see the sun, day or night.
so when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills --...

What's your high game in bowling? I hit 203 last year.
I've got to stop doing this to myself. Can someone remind me how to be happy, please.

absolutely.
To be happy, subscribe to the K I S S principle.
Keep
It
Simple,
Stupid
"Build me a cabin in Utah,
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout,
Have a bunch of kids who call me "Pa,"
That must be what it's all about,
That must be what it's all about."

I live close to a number of council estates, populated by people who seem to be perfectly content with having either no job or a low paid dead end job, their satelite TV and their tabloid newspapers. They are very happy with their 6 or 7 children per household. They're positively blissful that they are going to lead a humdrum existence until the end of their days.
Sometimes I get insanely jealous of them, and also wonder how you can be happy with a meaningless existence.
Then, curiously enough, I find myself feeling happy that I'm not one of them.
Go figure
And by god yes you made me blush! - It can be very hard to present the english stiff upper lip when confronted with that!

I would just like to add however: I, under no circumstances endorse doing massive life threatening personal changes. I will not be held responsible for Bad haircuts, extreme weight loss/gain loss of skin tone, Ill fitting clothes or any other associated upshot that I get blamed for when anyone takes heed of what I say. So there
You have a great weekend



You have a great weekend

My Rhett Miller CD is missing from it's case
I hate when that happens...
Update:
I FOUND IT!!! it was in the Everything But the Girl case...sure, that makes sense
There is a world inside the world that you see
And it's okay to count the minutes 'cause how many could there be
And if love is all around us how could this have found...

So, I was looking through the email on your hotmail account...and I had a quick question for you...
Whoops...ummm...nevermind...
Good Morning Chica...you're seeing a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Josie this morning...I'm up-up-up...I can't believe how awake I am! Isn't that funny? Why, I should think about getting sleep EVERY night. Ahhh, but how can one sleep when the alternative is just too good.
I go today to meet with the guidance counselor at the elem school here to find out about tutoring, but I'm looking to start Monday and go 3 times a week...I can't wait!!!
How are you?

guess what??
I still STINK!!
(mumble mumble)
stupid job... and after all that, the samples we collected are not valid. So, I get to return again and put up with, you guessed it, more smelly foul environments
will you splash some more of your body spray in my direction??

Does everyone dream about what it would be like to be someone else, or just me? Do we all wonder if we are living the life we're supposed to be living...but what does that mean exactly? I often think I am wasting time. There is something out there, just beyond my reach, that will calm the uneasiness inside me.

Moments worth noting from my weekend in Bloomington
Woke up to snow falling and dusting on the ground
Mom told me my new do makes me look older
Didn't get carded at dinner
Cute undergrad guy in gift shop flirted with me
Viewpoint, where I worked for two years, no longer exists
Mom chugs Pepto Bismol from the bottle

Hello! I'm back
Just arrived home about an hour ago, very tired, but feeling terribly pleased with myself!
I'll have pictures up within the hour! And of course you're not being nosey! I only have the two tattoos,
The first one arrived at a time I really didn't expect. I had just split up with my ex, and it wasn't pretty at all, and then promptly had a lot of friends betray me afterwards. (A lot of stuff happened, and I'm still dealing with it five years later!), Then my friend, Kate, got in touch with me after we'd fallen out of touch about 4 years previously. After we (finally) met up again, she proved herself to be one of those truest of friends (you know, the ones who never, EVER demand anything of you, yet will give freely). When she told me she was now a tattoo artist, and offered to do a piece on me for no cost, I asked her to design for me a piece she thought would simply 'be me', the design for the tribal was the first thing she thought of, in fact she designed it while we were in a coffee shop! I just thought the piece was perfect. So while most people see an abstract tribal pattern, I see a sign that there are people that you can still trust 100%, and who never want you to be more than who you are (warts and all), and will never turn you away.
Though I can't help feeling I've perhaps worded this badly, It's a very hard feeling to express.
But look at me... ramblin' on.
I hope this weekend has been the best a weekend could possibly be for you. And I hope you've been successful in all your endeavors, however large or small

Right, here you go, it's the picture I swore no one would see. It's my first foray into comedy facial hair. It failed to impress a whole load of girls too.
