a while back, I mentioned how my cousin's girlfriend wanted to fix me up with her old boss. figured we were a good fit (similar interests, we don't drink, etc.). at least I think I mentioned it. we were going to meet, her uncle dies. nothing for a while.
today, my cousin said she got fired, has disappeared, and probably won't see her again. my...

last night, finally saw Alice in Chains in concert. yes, I have been a fan since "Man in a Box" came out on video (I saw it and was immediately intrigued by the band). I probably should write down the bands I want to see live (and those I will never get a chance to see live, either because they broke up or deaths.....like Stabbing...

Tomorrow I'm organizing my Heroclix collection, so I can get doubles in a box and everything. my cousin orders the product through his comic book store, and we have some new kids learning...

my bio-father turned 65 yesterday. I use the term "bio-father" because he left when I was an infant (9 1/2 months old) and didn't come back into my life (from what I remember) until I was in 3rd grade really. I guess he used to visit before, but I don't remember. our life was very difficult for many years, and to this day I still...

So the day after my...
