A few brief updates:

My buddy phrogg and his band The Lime Daddies kick even more ass than I imagined! Gina and I got to catch their act at Chief's Wings and Firewater in Greenville earlier this month, and a good time was had by all. If you haven't checked them out already, I highly recommend doing so. biggrin

Thanks for the plug and... hell yeah, everybody needs to come out and hear the Lime Daddies!

"Pro-choice, environmentalist, committed to public education". It's so ironic, because in the earlier GOP that would have fallen right in line with the party. My wife's father was an ardent Repub from Iowa "back in the day" and he believed all those things... surreal

Okay, so the educational bureaucracy officially sucks.

As I said in a previous post, two weeks prior to the beginning of classes, the USC-Upstate financial aid department had claimed that they'd never received my FAFSA information. So I contacted the Department of Education, who also claimed that they'd never received anything from me. Never mind that I HAD, in fact, submitted one way back in...

Sorry to miss you on Thursday, but we'll keep trying. You've got lots of fish to fry!

At Furman, long ago, a friend and I got so pissed off at the financial aid office that we somehow managed to feed the computer (the ancient "punch card" variety) a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some mashed potatoes from the dining hall. It was down for three days. ARRR!!!

Interesting about your new advisor. Tim Dale is the son of my sister's best friend!!

Once again, the accusations have been leveled that I don't post often enough. Well, there's a good reason...

According to the FBI, I'm already a domestic terrorist.

"Anarchists and extremist socialist groups -- many of which, such as the Workers' World Party, Reclaim the Streets, and Carnival Against Capitalism -- have an international presence and, at times, also represent a potential threat in the United...

i've been wanting to see that who wants to be a superhero show, but it interferes with some of my other reality tv viewing. i'm starting to think i need a tivo to support my habit. blush
brooklynbabe:
Yikes! That's scary- watch your back when it comes to Big Brother.

Yeah- I write about all the fun parts of working in a titty bar, but there are very disturbing things also. When I can sort it all out- I'll have my thoughts up there.

Did y'all miss me?

I guess I'm horribly overdue for an update, aren't I? But, hell, even now I don't REALLY have the time to say everything I need to say. Surprisingly enough, I do (kind of) have a life, albeit one that has been sucking big floppy donkey dick more often than not lately. Nevertheless, I am still alive and working on improving it...

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! smile

Ten hours from now, I'll be disappearing into the great unknown of international air traffic, which after a couple of significant layovers in Washington, DC and San Francisco, will finally deposit me in Shanghai, China. Since I seriously doubt the Chinese censors are going to let me (even as an honorary Party member) access this site while in their...

People say I don't update enough. To which I say...

tongue

I've been busy lately. And not the "I say I'm busy so I can avoid people" variety, either...no, I'm talking about the real kind. Between work, school, and getting ready for the China trip, I really haven't had time for much of anything else, honestly. Going to China requires a lot of paperwork, especially since...

Well, throwabomb won't tag anyone, so I guess I'll just have to tag myself (as kinky as that may sound...). tongue

Seven things I want to do before I die:

1) Finish my college degree (finally)
2) Make a difference
3) Go to Cuba (and other parts of the Caribbean and Latin America as well)
4) Learn another language
5) Restore a classic (late '50's-early '60's)...
