So Avril Lavigne is nominated for five Grammy Awards which just really cracks me up. Over Christmas I asked Erin's 11-year-old niece what the last CD she got and the answer was, "Avril!"

From a marketing standpoint I suppose I understand what this is about. Hell, even the Mickey Mouse Club was a progenitor of this niche in children's marketing. The only difference is that...

So... a new year is always a splendid time of year. Say what you will of cliches and such, but I'm grateful to be alive and have the chance to taste what the future brings to me. I'm grateful for today and the chance to live it.

That being said I'm still contemplating a certain resolution to begin training for a marathon. As you know,...

What a great New Year's party! Thanks Badmojo and SGLA!

Now, we start anew.

First day after being promoted, first day after receiving the raise. Everything is going swimmingly. Fantastic!

I told Erin that she should take this next month and do whatever the hell she wants. We're ok financially until some time in the spring so I think she should take the time to...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Where do I begin??

First and foremost, Erin (my girlfriend) and I have been smoke-free for 9 days and counting! Wooohooo! It's actually been easier than I expected because we of our stay in Boston where her family is vehemently anit-smoking. SO, we really had no option. I think we just might make it. biggrin

Secondly, what a fabulous Christmas! Snow in Boston!...

Status on Shareaza Swap:
They need to approve my damned group.

I've applied twice, the lazy asses. And they haven't seen fit to report back to me on if I got rejected. Maybe if you send a message, they'll reconsider. smile If they won't approve it, I'll need to take it off-site. Which I've been looking at various options for, most interestingly: Tiki.

good for erin...
Happy New Year!

So that's it! Finito! Kaput! As of 7:30AM tomorrow, when my flight from LAX to Boston departs, I am done smoking. I'm still puffing away at my last little sticks because I know after this there's no going back. No puff here and puff there.. no more cigarettes, period.

I smoke as does my girlfriend. We both are quitting. And I'm a little scared. I'm...

Happy New Lung! I guit cold turkey many years ago after I got asthma from it. I never went back. Eventually you forget you ever did it. I know that sounds hard to believe but its true. Hope you're having a good time in Boston.

There's no point in crying over spilled milk. What's done is done but to sit around and become depressed about my situation is just a waste of time. I'd rather be trying to work out how to get OUT of this fix than wallow in my own misery.

Motherfuckers!

This is my last day of work until vacation and I'm pretty stoked. A nice two...

Fuck.

Erin (my girlfriend) just got fired from her job. Over the goddamn phone, six days before Christmas. Merry fucking Christmas.

I'm glad though, because it's a shitty company. She was never paid well and treated poorly and was already looking for another job.

But this really fucks things up for the holidays. I'm supposed to get a nice Christmas bonus but obviously all that...

Totally a good time to quit smoking, because you're all angry at the man and stuff...just think about how the man wants you to smoke his cancer sticks, pay for your own coffin and subsedize his palatial home in the Hollywood Hills...I have whittled my cig consumption over the last twelve years down to three or four a day, and I think that's about as low as I'll go for now. But my support goes out to you and Erin: Kick some Cigarette ASS!
biggrin
_mike_:
Than does indeed suck about your girlfriend , but if they were that suckayss then she will be better off in the longrun . Your picture doesnt jar my memory thats for sure smile I am soooo bad with names to begin with and internet personnas always take time to know who the heck you are dealing with ,especially people from my already clouded past . . . . I'm sure in time I will remember all these things . . . . hey does richard hang out at the bar outside of the Standard . . . ? thats how you can tell if he is REALLY a scenester biggrin

I'm going to be conspicuously absent today as work will be very busy. That's what I get when I procrastinate by dicking around on this site! Fortunately this is my last week of work before the New Year so only three more days to go!

My holidays will be spent first traveling to Boston where my girlfriend's family lives. I've never spent any time on...

although it is more accepted that women are bisexual or attracted to other females, this is not always a positive thing. Because the whole cliche of girls on girls has become such a typical male fantasy, many girls will hook up for the attention or to please their boyfriend. i find this to be personally degrading to me because they are basically mocking who i am. i am not bisexual, i am human sexual. i am attracted to a person, not to what is in their pants. it is annoying to me that people pass off being bisexual as just being confused or not being able to make a decision either way, because i know exaclty who i am and what i want.

UGH. December 17 and after a hard night of karaoke I'm barely keeping myself going. I didn't drink much but I also didn't eat dinner so I'm hurting. May have to order pizza for breakfast, shortly. At least my boss is not in the office today.

I would very much like to crawl into bed and sleep the day away.

Q: If you could plug...

Thanks so much everybody for your encouraging words!

In the spirit of the holidays, I figured I'd list some of the presents that friends and family will be receiving from me this year. I'm still not finished but I did get most of this knocked out on a surprisingly relaxing shopping trip this weekend. Looks like I'll be ready in time!

So it's official! I put in my request for personalized business cards to go along with my promotion.

"Alex XXXXXXX- Agent"

They tell me that makes me bona fide now. Pay raise doesn't kick in until the first of the year but from here on out friends, the amount of work I put in will actually mean something!

So, if any of you or your...

too many happy moments to count. i'll just try to answer your quetions...
1.never seen zoolander. will do.
2. you misspelled one word in the journal entry... but pretty good spelling all around.
3. koreans seem to think that the chronic is some bad shit, yo. it's very illegal and punishments for possession and trafficking are extremely high. it can be found here, but is hard to come by right now...
4. about music... yeah part of what i've written about it that music, unlike verbal or written language has a capacity to communicate things that are normally thought to be transcendent of language. that it funsitons on more than one level of communication... i think it works equally forplayer and listener.
right on with the good job... i'm hopin that kinda thing is in my future soon.

Ok, that journal about A.I. was too much for most people. If you want to read it click here: Artificial Intelligence.

Otherwise, let's talk about more normal crap.

Q: What were some of the best things you've found at a swap meet/yard sale/flea market/antique department store?

A: An antique women's Cartier watch, a Polaroid SX-70 camera, mint suede jacket, first press records of Miles Davis,...
