Ah, Thanksgiving... a time to stuff your face and not feel overly guilty about it. The gym is definitely calling my name; it would be nice for my chest to enter a room before my gut.

I hope everyone had a pleasant T-giving. I did the usual mellow thing with a couple of relatives in Bridgeport, CT. Nothing special, but I ate and napped well....

Happy Thanksgiving to all my SG friends! Oops, that's a chicken, not a turkey, but you get my point.

Thanks, everyone, for replying to my little "guilty celebrity crush confessional." Heard some great ones. Read my last entry and tell me yours, if you like. BTW, I realized I misspoke in that journal entry when I neglected to say that I also have love for my fine nubian sistas.

Well, the freelance writing project went OK, but it looks like it won't turn into...

So I'm flipping throught the channels and I come across this show where all these overweight people are divided into two teams and are being weighed. The team that loses the most combined weight wins. Needless to say it was a bit

Anywho, as I'm watching this spectacle, Caroline Rhea pops up as the host of the show... and as I'm looking at her I...

I don't want to jinx it, but things seem to be looking up careerwise for me, and it couldn't come at a better time. Met with a small technology consultancy this week that wants me to write and edit a ton of content for them, and if all goes well, it could develop into a long-term freelance gig. I'm doing an assignment for them now,...

Well, I'm pulling some hours at the American Legion as a bartender, and Man, am I tired. I guess when you've been sitting on a couch watching TV or surfing SG for the last several months as I have, being on your feet becomes a chore. Job's not bad in the sense that it's easy, but it won't pay much. And it doesn't look like...

King George. The War President. Dubya. Cowboy. The Great Divider... our president. I tried to avoid most of the media today because I was tired and hurt, disappointed and confused. And while I'm still all of those things, I'm also more clear-headed about what happened yesterday: President Bush ran the campaign he needed to run to win, and he deflected attention from his conservative agenda....

I voted, but now I'm too nervous to watch the returns. I've been obsessing over this for more than a year, but now that it's here, I can't bear to watch. So far, voter turnout has been very heavy, which could be a good sign for Kerry. But who knows? All I know is whoever is president tomorrow (and I'm praying it's figured out by...

See that brother on the left... black t-shirt, big smile, good-looking in a ruggedly handsome sort of way? You're looking at the newest bartender at the American Legion Hall, 60 County St., Norwalk, CT!!! Training next week, first shifts Nov. 8.

Now please show me some muthafuckin' LOVE! It's been a long time coming. And, remember to vote on Tuesday; anyone who votes gets a...

Man... I just spent 5 minutes with my fingers on the keys but nothing flowed. Scary. Needless to say, I don't have much to, well, say. Continuing my bartender refresher course; doing some freelance stuff; going to see the Deftones over the weekend... Life's OK.

Take care and be well. While you're at it, vote for Kerry.
