You have to count your blessings in life, and right now I feel blessed that the drunk guy in my car on the blue line el didn't start throwing up until right before my stop.

Had a great time with everyone at Piece tonight!

Foaming At The Mouth
The Demon Rum

I've been quite successful at kicking my own ass to stick with the whole fitness regimen the last two weeks. I hadn't touched a drop of alcohol since two weeks ago Sunday, the morning after the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight. Since then I've focused on workouts and nothing but.

This weekend was gonna be the proving grounds: Apexxx...

i love that Tony Soprano quote. fucking awesome. but there is something to be said for sharing stories from the past, as long as you don't get stuck there...

if you ever hear something you like and want ideas to keep heading in that direction, i'd be glad to play the part of introducing you to some good metal - be it old school or new.

and good for you on the fitness and alcohol regimen. i need to do something similar with my life - i especially know how the 'one drink turns into seven' sort of thing goes... tongue

So I'm on the hook to create a CD with 12 songs of my choice for the CD exchange party on Friday. I could have begged off last week but I wanted to force myself to contribute. And now I've got a 'theme' for my disc, but not all twelve songs to fill it out. I'm up to seven, which constitutes progress from yesterday, but...

At least they have some strong playoff experience now. They just need to play 100% all the time now.

1:16 PM 11th pick overall now on the clock

If the Bears wind up drafting Brady Quinn and don't trade him, keep him to be the QB of the future, I'm going to Halas Hall and taking hostages.

I can't believe how late Quinn got drafted. Now he's probably got a chip on his shoulder the size of a mountain, and he'll target every team that didn't draft him. He'll probably be a pretty good QB too.

I'm ok that my Raiders picked the LSU kid. Now I hope to god that he's not a bust (which is quite possible, i think) and won't absolutely get killed because of his shitty o-line. I think Andrew Walters is buried somewhere in the Oakland Coliseum. I don't think he survived last year. wink

As far as Cuban conspiracy theories (with that wording, I feel like i'm talking about the whole JFK/CIA), I can't wait to here them. I want to know how David Stern rigged the game so that the Mavericks played with no heart, and Dirk couldn't lead his team through adversity. Must be a pretty talented guy, if he could pull that off. biggrin

glad we dodged that bullet. (the you taking hostages one, i don't know shit about Brady Quinn and why we don't want him) wink

"I Coulda Had Class. I Coulda Been Somebody."

So I went to my good friend Trey's wedding yesterday. It was a nice ceremony in an absolutely stunning venue (with a big assist from the weather) but I could not help but be depressed. Maybe it was because I didn't really know anyone there. Maybe it was because they're moving away...

maybe when the sun comes out on a more regular basis, itll help us all out a little bit in combating depression...

Gayle Sayers day makes me start wondering, when is Payton day? Ditka day? Halas day? Jordan day?, etc, etc

That was a great journal entry - although bittersweet.

Life is so weird. Looking at my past, there was a time when, for years, I called myself the "uneven number"... because every time I was going out with friends to restaurants or things like that, I would be the only single one. That was depressing as fuck.

And now that I've finally managed to be again with someone for more than a week, it feels like it isn't really me sometimes... Human beings always want everything and its contrary at the same time.

Keep those positive vibes going, they will bring more happiness before you realize it smile

I'm now convinced that the most profound philosophical statement of the Twentieth Century was Roseanne Roseannadanna's "It's always something". But when that 'something' involves my computer, how come it always seems to be a result of Microsoft products? Christ, I just want to answer my emails and be done with it.....

I've seen that movie so many times (not to mention the Sinatra remake), that all the names of the characters are pretty much stuck in my head. Macaulay Conner doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Aw fuck, not again. Why can't you dumbfucks leave well enough alone? You know when they did this the last time? I can because I did a long, bitchy rant about it at the time.

That doesn't bug me as much as how slow the site has been lately. I couldn't check in for several hours earlier. If it weren't for the good people I've...

Come on, the site works 6 times out of 5 biggrin

I was probably still half-asleep this morning tongue

PS: what must really suck is for SG # 2,354 whose set is finally up and nobody can see it. Then it's soon forgotten because 6 hours later another one has appeared haha

well at least they got the speed back up to par... now i just gotta figure out where everything is again blackeyed

Notable Names

I gotta tell ya, life is weird sometimes. I'm watching extended basic cable tonight, and the credits from a show come across the screen. For whatever reason, I happen to glance at the screen and notice a name that's identical to a guy I went to high school with. I won't mention the name (not that you'd recognize it)...

It's hard to let go of who you once were.

For a while, you keep thinking you look exactly like you did when you were 18. And then you look at old pictures... and you barely recognize the person you were in those. You just see a fresh-faced kid that looks nothing like you now... while being mostly the same.

This is fascinating - the whole concept of becoming a stranger to your own self in your own life.

you would think so, but no..it's the straight men that say the weird shit

last night a guy told me that my earings matched my breasts?

Feelin' Rather Green Today

Since I didn't throw up, get into any fistfights, or get arrested, I guess I can consider St. Patrick's Day to be a success. Still, I was only out until about 7PM and if I'd paced myself better I could have made more of a night of it. But I started drinking around 9:30AM and jumped into...

You were fine, brother. Especially as soon as we got you some grub. Besides, that is what "all you can drink" is all about. Miss Campbell put us all to shame though once she found out there was only 30 minutes left. My kinda gal. wink

its all good, man. glad you made it out and im sure youll be at some of the near future events too...
so looks like the Bears keep picking up players this off season, but we do have alot of holes to fill...
