I went out tonight with a co-worker and his wife to a local basketball game. He was a referee for the varsity game so I watched with his wife while she took notes on the officiating. I've been around basketball since I was five years old but have never looked at it the way that officials do. There is a different game happening when you...

I hate christmas frown

I hate that it makes people feel lonely
and fight and waste money on presents
that people don't appreciate. I don't celebrate it anymore.

I hope you have a nice visit with your parents.

I feel sad that you feel shitty and alone frown

I used to hang out with a girl in highschool
who was crazy and threw her mom's christmas tree down the basement stairs. I didn't believe her until I saw it eeek surreal shocked frown confused .
There it was, at the bottom of the wooden stairs, on the cement floor, all messsed up
and smashed ornament everywhere.
Her mom was very pissed when she got home mad
Yup, that was a very intense moment surreal

I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you are feeling down. Many, many people do this time of year.

On the Happy Holidays vs Merry Christmas thing...
My take is this, say whatever the hell you want to. People who are saying Happy Holidays are actually being considerate and including other religions that celibrate a holiday in December by not just saying Merry Christmas. People need to remember that the US is a melting pot, and there are all types of people here, and other religions need to be respected as well. After all, we do still have freedom of religion in this country. Although it doesn't seem like it most of the time.

I am Buddhist, I only celibrate social holidays.

Take care. smile

A topic of recent discussion within the Catholic community has been the ordination of openly gay seminarians as priests. In a recent document published by a church organization, it is stressed that the church will not ordain men who are active homosexuals, who have "deep seated" homosexual tendencies or who support the "gay culture". This document is really the first of it's kind within the...

What a rediculous load of crap. If someone has taken a vow of celibacy and devoted their life to a religion, their sexual preference, or what turns them on is irrelevant! That's like saying that if at one time you prefered big tits, or blondes that you will be less of a priest. There is so much prejudice in the church...it saddens me. frown

Today I made it out to to pickup a Christmas tree for my apartment. I purchased a 6-7ft tree and managed to get it home and into my apartment with little problems. Now, I already had a tree stand from our Christmas tree on 17th Street in Terre Haute. However, after an hour of struggling, I realized that the stand I had is for larger...

Xmas trees help to improve my mood during the holidays too!
And the creep you asked about...well he got a formal warning from the officer that came out, so if he comes on the property again he will be arrested for trespassing. Thank goodness he is scared of dogs!!!
Take care!

Wow. What's really the point in this? Saw 'Walk the Line' last week. It makes me feel good. That's about it on the 'make Dave feel good' front. Fall 2005 has been disappearance time for many of my friends. -dave

Here are some random postings from the past week in no particular order:

- Worked this week for two stations along the Ohio River in southern Ohio. I was doing an installation of new automation systems. I got into town on Tuesday night and we finished work on Friday night; pretty quick for an installation of this size and magnitude.
- Work related injuries: one...

With regard to your 20 things in your previous entry, I was impressed how much I could relate to. By the way I've been under a rock for the past three months. Hi. Hope things worked out for you the rest of the summer past.

as for #10...the weird thing about psychological disorders is to some extent what you believe can be a cure or just denial. Sometimes it's a cure that slips back into old habits through denial or unawareness.

I wish I could turn my brain off from 5pm - 8am. I would be much happier if my mind didn't work a mile a minute.

Headed out of town until Monday again. Business trip to West Virginia and Ohio from Wednesday to Friday. Then, from Friday and Sunday I will be going to my college Homecoming and visiting my parents & grandparents in Indiana. Again, as always, travelling on business means no SG so I'll be behind on all the gossip.

Make sure to leave me a notice with who's...
