Patience is a sonofabitch.
I'm sitting here trying to come up with something insightful and inspiring to babble about, but all I've got is this blank canvas. I could talk about the personal projects I'm trying to get off the ground, but there's nothing really solid to report. I could talk about the questionable status of my relationship, but in the end, the answer to...

It's been an incredibly whirlwind week, with more ups and downs than doing 69 on an elevator (which, I know, doesn't sound like a half-bad idea).
Chicago was a blast -- my new favorite city. Some of the best ribs and pizza I've had in years, and a respectable-sized Chinatown, to boot (very important criteria, in my book). Had a crazy adventure right after Chicago...

May I suggest adding "assclown" to the juniors' vocab list? And you can make a field trip out of it, to whichever classroom that assclown teaches in.
Dude, they are already THERE! hahahaha

I spent last night devising a trap that will harness the creepy visitor but not harm it so I might set it free. Now to make one for the Cricket. HAHAHAHAHA
Today, we're feeling good about the future. . . I had a good interview today for a job I didn't want going in, but did want (and felt good about getting) walking out. I found out that I might have hooked up a writer friend with a manager and an aspiring actor with a few gigs. I saw my other aspiring actor friend in her...

If you are talking about the tazo zen tea, then starbuck's carries it. The zen tea is green tea with ginger.

Like many others these days, I have nothing newsworthy or immediate to report. It's been what I would qualify as a generally unproductive week. I've been busy and gotten stuff done, but I wouldn't particularly call it productive. I think this is the blah's of August.
However, I'm in Vegas next weekend for the UFC fight (bet Couture and Trigg) and Chicago the following weekend....

Okay you are the metaphor king. I am throwing in the towel. Make me proud! 
How were the fights? Bloody? Catch any flying teeth? Any recommendations on hotels there?

details on the Vegas trip? Or does what happened stay there?! 
Initially, I planned to journal less frequently, but my new friends been so damn friendly and responsive that this site has quickly turned into the daily obsession that I hoped it wouldn't. Well shit, there's worse additions than cool people and naked boobies.

Million Dollar Baby was alright. I have an unhealthy obsession with Clint Eastwood so I might be a bit swayed there. The Machinist and Sin City (on DVD August 16!) were some of the better films I saw this year. Oh, and Ray wasn't bad either; a good film to watch if you ever consider becoming a smack-puppy. Ray = drugs + doing them --> bad detox experience = 
That's pretty much the equation.

bjork would make the best song ever ever
So between figuring out how to put up photos and getting my first friend (thank you, Blyss), I'm finally starting to get the hang of being an active part of the SG community. Word.
Keeping a journal online is going to be an interesting change for me. Not only have I not kept a journal in 6 years, at which time I was obsessed...

RE:
<<as Bill Paxton said in ALIENS "yeah man, but its the dry heat.">>
LOL! That's so weird: I was JUST THINKING of that line the other day. Total mind meld there.
A friend of mine was visiting in Massachusetts last month, and he flew back to LA, and the first thing he told me was how happy he was to be out of the New England humidity. He's supposed to help me find an apartment if I decide to move out there next year. If this stickiness continues, I may jump at the opportunity!

Hey J.T., I'm glad you've heard good things about it all... My martial arts background...I started when I was 5 in the netherlands with a style called Pentak Silat, did a couple as a kid, got into TKD, blah blah blah, mickey mouse stuff until my teens when i found wu wei t'ai Ji...got a lil' calming action going in my " **punch**-what-did-you-say???" ASS, a lil Muay Thai training....drool...Bak Hsing Choy Lay Fut after that...now in between all this i enjoyed, kicking and getting my ass kicked, by a lot of different styles in Kung-Fu, wrestlers, aikido, Hapkido{I hope my spelling is not off, if so, only by my memory}, ect...learned a hell of a lot, learning my asmosis.....ooww, ooww, ooww. Presently into Preying Mantis, meant really for people smaller then us but the guy is soooo good.....and I'm the worst student EVER, i don't go for months, but I practise at home just due to time and really sometimes overdue it.....oh and I did Yang style T'ai Ji, interesting....I think that's it....besides the regular take downs and control via pain compliance from bouncing...read; don't get charged control moves.
The freemasons, based on the Order of the Knight Templar.This was an organization, to be pleasantly vague, based on the martial principles of the 11th to 14 the Century Knightly warfare conditions, mostly sword, heavy sword, and most importantly, the lance, effectly mostly thru the heavy charge of the Cavalry line at any given opposing army. The mace, ect and other assotred weapons ect. The poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon were a monasic knightly order founded under the idea of the fighting, thusly rightous, monks. The idea of the Shoalin and Templars being similar is a nice idea but mistaken, while the Buddhist believed in peace, my Templar/Masonic brothers BELIEVED they believed in peace and were a militaristic knightly order with monastic principes.
and yes, my children are damn cute..made them myself.
And questions on any of them, write or gimmi a call on my tool free line on my profile
