happy new year ...

sounds like a plan ... perhaps a few a-team references can be thrown in there too for good measure as well ... who gets to be murdock?

I am amazed that that hasn't happened to me yet, with my penchant for leaping down stairs... Very nice to meet you at the dinner. Happy new year!

Back once again with the renegade master indeed. wow i got a direct mention, that's made my day! i feel special hurrah. squat's are fun i once went to one in this disused bingo hall and it was like a palace, there was an amphitheatre thing at the top [try explaining amphitheatre to a load of tripping mentalists or indeed saying it while tripping yourself, it was great!!]

tonight i am going to a posh party to celebrate the earth rotating without nulear holocaust once again. think i did the same thing around this time last year...

Happy New Year to yer!

Top 5 things that make this evening RULE:

1) i cleared up my room for some party tomorrow night and found my credit cards!!

2) that means additionally i am back on the site which is obviously a major bonus to all concerned um...

3) you have a truly awesome profile pic which should fill you with joy every time you gaze upon it

4) it's 2am and im wasting my vision writing messages to you...that must be kinda validating right?

5) it's nearly New Year's Eve - a day to get trashed at work and even more trashed at night!!

how art thou my friend? i note that you are one of the good people who hasnt deleted me in frustration hurrah and thankyou! i shall be regularly plaguing you again so i look forward to more journal convos hehe keep up the good work :>

the further away from the christmas season i get the better i feel.
curious. maybe this means im finally transitioning into adulthood, or some functional semblance therein.

yup I will be at NYC new years eve sg gathering, can't wait

yeah, you ARE prying, but curiosity is a good thing.

let's just say that from November of '99 through June of '01 I went through a series of events that no publisher would ever run with because it would be too unbelievable. dead parents, lost jobs, a DUI arrest, and being the sole eyewitness to a botched robbery that turned to murder. truth truly is stranger than fiction.

anyway, three years ago this week, in a nutshell:
12/13/99 dad has nasty sore throat so sees doctor
12/15/99 dad goes to another doctor for biopsy
12/16/99 dad diagnosed with throat cancer, admitted to hospital
12/17/99 dad has tumor removed from his throat
12/18/99 mom gets "flu" ... refuses to go to doctor
12/20/99 mom just up and dies out of nowhere
12/20-12/22 i stay up for two days straight and clean my parents house from top to bottom ... including the paramedics' debris from the attempt to save her.
12/24/99 we bury mom ... dad (and his fresh tracheotomy) is the hit of the funeral

after that it got strange ...

anyway, you asked ... there you go.

Monkey is available on vhs and region 2 dvd from amazon.co.uk. I dont think theres a release in the US. Theres about 36 episodes in all split over the tapes/discs. The stories are based on a chinese book, I cant remember the name of it or the writer, I'll check when I finish work. The book itself was based on the true voyage of a priest from china to india to collect buddhist scriptures.

Translations and linguistic changes in languages have always been problems over the centuries. But still the church insists the bible is the unchanged word of god, hehe. It can awkward enough to get the correct meaning of english documents from 400 years ago, let alone shifting from hebrew, aramaic, greek, latin and so on.
Hmm, doom. In what way I wonder. Sometimes a word has different usages in different cultures and languages. I quite like way it can be used in Norse and Saxon mythology.

hey no problem! You should join our SG D&D thing on the boards, its not too late. Just post the character you want and his stats and we are about to begin. 1st level, any race or classes, start with 100GP equipment.

I took a speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in twenty minutes. It involves Russia

Hey, welcome back! Damn internet cafes can't tell the difference between porn and "community-based erotic photography," huh? How's the squat? I see you have a new photo and a new locale, lovely. We had a little SG get-together to see "Bowling for Columbine" here in Toronto. 3 people showed up, including myself. But it was fun.

I'll probably be in NYC for a week towards the end of the month. Anything interesting happening? What's with the strike?

a mission like tom cruise and gang in Losin' It?

this shitbomb of a movie with that kid that was a rebel child in bad news bears and tom cruise as the jock guy, shelly long the fed up waitress they pick up as they go to tijuana to lose some virginity. loads of dismal laughs.

mutha fuk I just wrote out a lovely little entry, switched windows for a sec and then BAM all my copy is gone.

anywho, i won't try to recreate that last one. i'll simplify and summarize ...like eddie says, i'm still alive ....no new animal friend --think the reduction in responsibility is good for now... not sure where i've been or what i've been doing (that's oregon's willamette valley winters for ya ...so grey ya don't know what the hell is going on and yer melatonin is always floating around even in the middle of the day)

I'm heading back home to colorado in a few weeks for a short run through my ol' stomping grounds. should be cool.

how's life in el squato?

stuart copeland is a cool ass drummer ...i'm no drummer expert, but he always had some deep groove going in his style ...fascinating to watch.

im not a master painter or anything, but id say im good at it. im not asking for million dollar artworks, just something small and simple just for the hell of it.
