What can you say. We are with in a week of saying good-bye to 2003. Hope it was a good one for you.
Happiness is a cold dog nose on your forehead at 4 am in the morning.
I heard my dog come in this morning. And I just sort of 'felt' her standing there in the dark waiting for me to notice her. She just couldn't wait for her morning brushing... And I guess she figured that since my alarm was going to go off in 15...

Gah!
Just when I thought it was safe to relax and starting planning my life again....
Damn Alerts.
At least this time I only have to hold my breath for a couple of weeks. This is the fourth time I've seen a warning order in the last two years. And two of those lead to deployment orders that were later recended.
Why don't they ever...

thursday:
nice to have met you. 
I can't wait till 2003 is finally in the books. It seems as if I have had to spend this entire year in a state of anticipation of what might happen. It has been really strange not being able to plan or think more than a month in advance.

I've felt as though the year barely happened. I woke up yesterday and it was February; now the year is almost over. Strange.
It's funny how old things can make us happy sometimes.
Picked up a Gamecube. Just to get the Zelda deal. And now I am blissfully playing a 15 or 16 year old game on a brand new console...
Joy.

Damn if fall come crashing down the last couple of days. Last week 70's and 80's. This week, 50's.
Course it was right on schedule. The week before Halloween. Least the rain hasn't started yet.

That's true. I remember that last couple of halloweens being wetter than a fish tank.
Funny how in the medium that it is the easiest to lie in, we expect people to be the most honest.
I was thinking about this today. Probably a solid 50% of what I say to other people is at best a half truth.
The "Thank-you" 's and the "You're Welcome" 's. And yet our society would stop working without them. Another example would be...

I'm little confused, is saying "Thank you" a lie? These are simple exchanges, as you have described. Really they are nothing more than that. There is no promise nor expectation thus really no chance to deceive.
Often people lie in an effort to get ahead or to avoid - at some point many of us grow values and lying just becomes not an option. It's interesting to be around a group of people where this has not taken place as there are some very silly exchanges... often these people are so wrapped up in their tails that no one ever notices what's going on.
The really scarry ones are those who are aware of how the world works, what the basic person's values are and uses that information to control. There is nothing I hate more than a hustler, particularly the ones who work the streets. I give money to the poor all the time but I take pride in thinking that I see through some of the bull shit on the streets and try and give to those who really need. Walking past someone looking for change when I know full well that it's a game is not a lie, it's living my truth - right or not.

Interesting. Two people actually posted responses to my previous (and first) journal entry.
Ok, so meet the demand for more information I'll tell you about me.
Roughly ten years ago I fled the town of Eugene to move to Portland. There had always been something that felt confining about Eugene. There is something wonderful about the number and variety of places to go and hear...

Ok, so I've never done a LJ or anything remotely like. Lets see how this goes. Heck, let's see if anybody even reads this,
Whatever.

clara:
People may not read your journal until you introduce yourself to them. That's usually how we know you're here.
yumchen:
Yea, you should keep posted on the next sushi night and come meet everyone. It's always fun.
