Nothing much on the mind today, so I'll put up a buk poem.

working out
--charles bukowski

Van Gogh cut off his ear
gave it to a
prostitute
who flung it away in
extreme
disgust.

Van, whores don't want
ears
they want
money.

I guess that's why you were
such a great
painter: you
didn't understand
much
else.

Oh my....

Finally feeling better after Saturday's mega-uber-hangover. I felt worse than I have in ages...worst than after 21st birthday, worse than after Fastnacht, worse than after my sisters wedding. I stayed in bed until 3 and watched movies the rest of the night. Barbershop and State and Main...two great films. David Mamet rocks.

The cause of this hangover was my work's Xmas party. There...

Welcome december.

I've been playin the guitar a lot lately, which is something I haven't done in a while. I've almost forgotten how relieving and fun it is to just whale away on that thing and sing a little bit.

Lot of my friends are getting married now it seems...(all my rowdy friends have settled down)...I went to two weddings in the last few weeks....it's...

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll.

Random thoughts:

I'm normally pretty content to spend a Saturday staying in but tonight, I've got a wicked case of cabin fever.

I been driving around the city trying to find ways to placate the restlessness, but it hasn't worked.

So I'm online now and I want to go somewhere...but I don't see much going on.

This kind of thing will happen all winter I...

I went to Annabell's last night and ended up sitting next to some obnoxious loudmouth who kept insisting that I answer her cell phone whenever it rang. Then she started talking about her one co-workers gastrointestinal problems. It was bizarre...I had just sat down next to her. Then she wanted to hook me up with a friend of hers that was coming.

I didn't stay...

I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their lonliness has started.....If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them...

There was an accident right in front of my house on Sunday afternoon. It was a car and two motorcycles that collided. I pulled in about two minutes after it happened. A crowd had collected by that time (whenever a small crowd gathers on the sidewalk in a small city, it's never good). I didn't go too close, but the two cyclists were on the...

Whoa got locked out for a while there...

Lesson learned: it's good to keep up with technology.

I'm going to need a new computer soon anyways...

I like the new site look...

Life's been silly crazy, but I've been in a very good mood for the last week or so...I can't remember laughing as much since, well...a while.

I just pulled out an old Bosstones...

Most seasons in the Great Lakes area are pretty extreme. In summer it's miserably humid and in the winter it's balls cold and it snows like a bastard. In spring, it tends to rain a lot, but it doesn't matter because autumn in the Midwest makes up for the shortcomings of the other three seasons.

It's getting on toward the end of september and the...

Jesus, what happened to the summer? It's fuckin' September already.

I broke down and bought a PS2 last weekend. I have been glued to the thing ever since. If video games were drugs, Grand Theft Auto would be crack....
