Sorry I've not updated in a week. We can either say I was practicing for vacation or that I thought I broke my lap top and was too stupid to realize I'd unclipped the battery. Let's go with the first one for the sake of my delicate ego
Atlanta was a blast and I had a great wekend. Now I'm just getting ready for the... Read More
It can never get too big, imo. The more the merrier, I say. The place has a great spirit. I've met a lot of wonderful people... burners, if you will. Going to a HUGE theme camp benefit tomorrow night at a 3-story loft on the south side. Last year was my first year, so I really have nothing to compare my experience against. I will tell you it was instrumental in changing the course of my life since I got home. For me, it's a huge catharsis... a touchstone for change.
Check out my website for links to my writing. http://lalindaloca.com The wrestler piece is one I did for the Reader. I also write for MrSkin on a semi-regular basis.
So I'm in Atlanta for four days and only have about 8 total hours of work to do. And I leave for Ireland on the 23rd for 2 weeks, constituting my first real break from work since 2001.
The summer of Itburns is underway
That's awesome news! I've never been to Ireland, but idolmaker spent some time there. I loved being in Scotland though... And you can't go wrong with a two week vacation!
Wow. I might not be smart enough to figure this one out. I guess that's what I get for not checking in since Thursday.
So after a long weekend I went to see "An Inconvenient Truth" with the new lady in Itburns Land. The movie was great but did spark the conversation I had avoided for 3 months: Aren't you a lawyer for the wrong... Read More
First the world didn't end at the Millenium.
Then 6/6/06 passes without an appearance by the anti-Christ.
I'm beginning to think that these born agains are full of shit.
I take back all of the above: someone just showed me a tape of David Lee Roth perfroming a blue grass version of Jump on a talk show. His new blue grass album is "Van Halen:... Read More
Did you hear about Diamond Dave's brief career as a paramedic? I'm not sure if I'd want a guy who used to wear assless pants responsible for my resuscitation.
So what is it I'm feeling these days? Life is better than it's been in at least 10 years, and 10 years ago is back when it really kicked ass. At the same time there's some bad stuff off to the side. I can choose to keep going ahead and not see it, or I can turn and take a look. I'm not sure what... Read More
And what I don't understand about these election fraud stories is how come the mainstream media isn't on this story? Why is Rolling Stone the only publication running with this now? It's insane.
The worst, the World can wreak on me--the worst
That can make Life indifferent, yet disturb
With whisper'd Discontents the dying prayer--
I have beheld the whole of all, wherein
My Heart had any interest in this Life,
To be disrent and torn from off my Hopes
That nothing now is left. Why then live on ?
That Hostage, which... Read More
I am still in a good place in life. I'm taking a risk and doing some new stuff at work and I'm really enjoying it. I will not let some BULL SHIT that is not true and is solely someone else's problem drag me down.
Now perhaps by writing that it I will also do it.
Great to see everyone again on Friday night, it had been too long.
I'm in a really great place in my life right now, so it's making for boring updates. I'm just going to stay on this wave as long as I can, and get as much of the good times as I can.
I'll be in Chicago for a few weeks if anyone wants... Read More
