So, I finally went out and signed up for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. I'm a little nervous because it is gonna be a lot of walking and then I plan on getting shit faced after it is done. (It is my birthday weekend, after all.)

The minimum to walk is $1800 and so far I've only made $100. (True, I've only signed up a...

Dunsmuir should be kick ass this year, by the look of the line up for bands. woot!
Did you hit Livermore this year?
T'wasn't as hot as expected---great bands, small marketplace...they had a joust this year, which i don't remember them having a couple of years ago---a typical games, over all.
We caught a Shunty match when we came in. Good times.
Drank a lot of Belhaven Twisted Thistle--and slept on the grass. smile

I figured you may have someone in mind. wink
Mi auntie had breast cancer, survived and then it came back, a few years later...she (like mi madre) went for hospice, and went peacefully at home.

Good luck with the walk!

I know, I know. "Who the fuck is this guy? He looks like someone I used to know but, shit, I haven't seen him in so long, I thought maybe he died."

Yes, I have disappeared off the face of the earth.
No, I'm not quite back yet.
I've been really really busy.

I miss the snide comments or remarks and the offers of unconditional...

I tried my best to like it. I usually have a soft spot in my heart for bad movies. But I guess Ford Fairline is my kryptonite. I'm kind of neutral on Napolean Dynamite. I appreciate the kind of humor that the movie was going for, but I didn't think the movie was particularly special.

Hey!

Get your ass back here! I'm shooting a set on Saturday! I'm excited!

Punk!

Con, hon, drink a beer already.

That goes for everyone else too.


And, if Voss stumbles across this, I am in dire need of your motivational skills.

Went and saw Vampire Weekend tonight and was pleasantly surprised. First time I heard them, I thought they were good but a little too "pop"ish. But, they were really good and if it's pop, then I don't care....

Lent is almost over for me. No drinking since the day after superbowl and still going strong. It's been pretty easy, actually. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and it is blurred by guinness and whiskey. March 13th is the day and you aren't gonna wanna know me the weekend following. The annual St. Pat's Party is coming. It is always...

Awww YAY! I miss getting mail from you. ♥

PS - there's a possibility I may be coming out there for Prom. Any chance you may be goin?
connielingus:
Have I told you that your St. Pats invite is now on my SG wall o fame? Each invitation gets a little bit better. _Margot_ and I had a great laugh opening that mail. You 've got my vote. biggrin

Still no definite plans for Prom, yet, it's up in the air. But if/when I know you will be the first I tell. ♥

Well, I finally finished "A Fan's Notes". I recommend it to anyone who wants to see inside the mind of a washed up, alcoholic, insane genius. I'm fascinated by the whole "thin line between insanity and genius" thing. Really really really well written book. I'm mad that it is done because I liked it so much. My copy has shit underlined on almost every page....

I don't keep up with my exes. I remember that we're exes for a reason. She really hurt you, so being stubborn may not be such a bad thing. She might want to be friends, but she hurt you very badly, so what should she expect?

It is a beautiful day. I appreciate nice days a lot more now that I have my scooter. I can't wait until there is relatively warm weather at night. I took the slacker out for his birthday dinner last night on the scooter and it was pretty bad driving the speed limit in the wet, wet high 60's weather. It was nice while we weren't driving though.

So jealous of your concert tix. Is this a tour? Perhaps I should check the dates. I'm broke now, btw, but the only thing I bought that I didn't really need was this SG account. Too bad I just realized that I can't afford to go to The Mars Volta concert, but I don't think that is until April. Maybe if I saved 5 bucks a week, I could afford one ticket. Welp...time to find a job!
marvel:
Thank you so very much for your thoughtful comment on my hopefuls set blush

Breakups are hard. Period. I'm going through one myself... no fun.

I absolutely adore Zoey Deshanel, hope the show is as awesome as it sounds.

P.S - no fair talking about spring... we get snow til may where I am...

A Drunken Man's Praise of Sobriety

Come swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.

Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.
O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer...

Happy valentines day my dear kiss

Checking in on the reading and walking...I'm down a size! Feeling pretty good! (Ask me again how I feel after this work potluck thing)

Thank you so much, that was incredibly kind of you to say.

Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness."

Another trying situation for me. Not me personally but someone close. Actually, a couple of someones.

Need to Read.
Need to Walk.

Voss, where is that encouragement. (By the way, stick with the fucking diet. Even if you're delusional about how gorgeous you already are.)

What is it about people, both male and female (although this'll be directed at the females because they are my current subject of interest. Actually, they always have been. Not that I'm knocking it. But...

I have no updates on your reading and walking.

That means one of two things.

1) You are doing SO MUCH of both you have no time to keep me posted

OR

2) You haven't been doing either and are avoiding the topic.

Here's to the former!

formerviking:
Hey , sorry bout how that whole Packer thing went . I haven't had a horse in the whole of the playoffs , so I guess go Giants !?! Maybe ? I don't really have anything against the Pats other then I hate when team is so head & shoulders above all their competition . I've been avoiding the theaters too . I would like to see both Sweeney Todd & No Country For Old Men , but haven't gotten the gumption up to go . Hope you're doing well .

Ok, a brief update.

In the past there were two things that I talked about and they have now come together and one completely describes the other.

Remember the girl I dated in highschool and haven't seen and then recently hooked up with? (I know, I know ending a sentence with preposition.)

And do you remember me telling you to listen to a band called...

Okie dokie. (Did I mention that I hate that term?)

So, the New Year has started and I'm already 2-0 for keeping the resolutions. This year, I've taken on the old "I'm gonna read more" resolution that I take on every year but at least I've put some effort into it. First book of the year? Camus' The Stranger. Actually, it's an old favorite of...

You know what? You are too sweet. Thank you my dear! I was having so much fun that night I couldn't help having that silly grin on my face wink

I will have to read that book. I love the song but didn't realize it was based off that book. Got any other good reads up your sleeves?

xoxoxo
voss:
Sweet! I've been dying-its been a couple of months since I've had time to read. I mean really read. I love books! I may grab my copy of the Decameron and start on that too. Have you read it? If not, that is the first book I recommend to you. Its one of my absolute favorites.

The Packers lost.frown

I still don't have a car. frown

It's Christmas Eve and I haven't finished my shopping.frown

I finally got better but then went to a party on Sat. night and stayed out until 11 am in the morning (mostly outside, by the way) and now I have this little tickle in my throat and a cough that is starting up again. frown

Some updates are in order I suppose.

The wine tasting with the cousins went well. One of the few perks about my job is that I get free tastings at all of the wineries and usually get upgraded to the reserve lists. We went to Sterling, Joseph Phelps, Stag's Leap and Merryvale. It was in Stag's Leap that I got the call though. (As I...
