alright, i'm back in dallas. no wrecks or catastrophes or anything.

spent about 3 days at my dad's place, and a couple more at my aunt/uncle/cousin's place. good times. got some stuff, gave some stuff, you know that drill. first xmas since mom died, and i think we all handled it like champs. there were some tears, but not too many, and the overall mood...

shit, i shouldn't have had that last shot. kingsimon talked me into it, though. hard sell, too. "come on man, do one more shot." "ok gimme a tuaca."

yeah ok, apparently i'm a pushover when it comes to getting me to drink more, especially if i'm already kinda lit.

bar was empty tonight. towards the end it was just me, thirsty, and kingsimon. anna showed...

guess who you get to see sing classic rock covers on stage at the fireside, wearing painted-on pants, big crimped hair, and probably some other slutty items after you move up here?

ME!

yes. i just got word that we are playing a show next month. it is the last performance with our main man so it is going to be total insanity. you must be there.

the Blues Brothers are SOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>> Underrrated. I hate any blues past most of the '50's and they did it really well, little temptations maybe.? anyway, a good mix of the old and the new without all the bad frilly shit.

bowling was low in numbers but fun nonetheless. i'll just pretend it was golf and that i kicked everyone's ass.

they re-installed the do-it-yourself photo booth at the bowling alley. i didn't rock it tonight, but next time i go, i'll have new ridiculous pictures for my profile.

monday night, jab and i shot the olsen twins.

that is except for the one I'm holding in my hand and that only burns braincells.

since you are friends with the illustrious dollface, i think it only fair that we be congenial in the like. you have been dubbed "make-believe-friend" cheers to you and the miserable city of dallas.

today, got in touch w/ movers and a realtor. getting closer to moving. can't wait. need to break out of the rut. really looking forward to living in chicago. i need the change; need the re-start; need the new beginning.

bring it on, chi-town. i'm ready.
dollface:
we gonna break you in REAL GOOD.

jab:
you and i should heavily market the olsen twin at don carter's and then never order any. man, if you don't get to chicago before the 11th i'm really gonna be disappointed. at least one of us should see it.

tonight, bowling. did ok -- broke 100 all 3 games, so i'm basically happy with the way it turned out. got a little drunk. still a little drunk.

read dollface's journal. glad she's feeling like herself again. i'm not. so it goes. going to try to get packed and moved to chicago by january 10. wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the holidays....

let me know if i can help ya in any way!

still trying to figure out what i am doing for new years. handful of parties. usually the safe bet, i hate going out on amateur night. my friend Van (you met him last weekend at gallery hamburger) came over at about 2am, we had a couple of high lifes, and he just left. totally fun. we like to talk about boys together.

seriously. i prescribe you do some dancin. you gotta big ol' house to yourself, kick out some superloud jams and shake it!

just caught up on the written version of chapter 2. there's something going on with you and that book. weirdness eh?

tonight, barley house to see the derby days play. my friends matt, meeker, and carter, and a couple dudes i don't know. after the show, after hours, had 2 options. went with one. should have gone with the other. nothing bad happened, but nothing good happened either. frankly, it was just kind of boring. oh well, you win some, you lose some.

now we have the magic recipe to make you a chickmagnet! although people making out and leaning up against you chicago style should have been indication enough. i also think it is a dallas thing. i can't say my random kiss attacks happened anywhere else but there.....

at delilah's a while back, this couple was going at it near us. the girl was straddling him. they were both really unattractive, too so it wasn't even fun to watch. we must go there on heavy metal night once you move up here. mullets, thin lizzy, judas priest, cheap whisky. it fuckin rules. i still have a good dozen places for you to visit before we can consider you a member of the chicago chug-a- lug foundation.

I seriously need to try that technique, I need all the help I can get. Your profile pic reminds me of drum night at this bar on lower greenville, everyone would bring their shit and form a circle for the belly dancers. Great drunken entertainment!

bought the dog town & z-boys dvd. hadn't seen the movie yet. it kicks much ass.

gotta get in gear and get my shit ready to move. there's a paybacks show in chicago january 11, and i don't want to miss it. time is short. pre-emptive invitation to anyone that reads my journal: there will probably be going-away celebrations at the meridian room some night...

crap, friday snuck up on me. i haven't gotten nearly enough done this week.

this is the fundamental problem with agendas, and the very reason they should be banished.

that job i told you about--a lady e-mailed me today, mentioning that she couldn't open the attachment that is my resume. i faxed. i want this job so bad. it's a good sign, yeah?

today i've been going through some pretty amazing mood swings. i'm going from sad to happy to angry to violently angry and back again through the whole cycle. and if tired is a mood, i'm that too.

bowled like shit tonight. hand hurts bad. might take next week off.

why do your head and your heart yearn for things that are diametrically opposed?

good news...

Before I got into 3d I wanted to be a special effects make up artist. Savini was my hero! We did these lame ass little short horror films, they were hillarious. Gonna get into film stuff soon, although the gig I got now is too much of a party to pass up. Good luck with the flick, like to see it sometime. Any online distribution options? Ifilm, Atom, etc.?
dollface:
!!!

i think i am going to graduate school. i decided this last evening. i was at an event at my workplace that kodak was putting together--it was all about filmstock, and i started to drool. i love film. fuck video. video is for pussies. (no offense EP of a video). oh, and they fed me free high-end beers, so i can't help but be partial.

not to mention to super fun i had with the locals in the bar below. i keep forgetting how much i love that place! i spent all of $0. (envision the tee shirt: i am loved.)

i had something to say earlier but i've forgotten what it was.

listening to louis armstong's "satch blows the blues" today. it fits my mood.

i'm bummed cuz i think we (my biz partner at my recording studio and myself) finally have a solid business plan to make some money from this joint, but our financial situation is getting so close to busted that i...

i don't know all the details of course, but depending on how long you think the break b/w now and making some cash is, maybe you can squeak it through. i'd hate to see you let it go when you don't really want to. then again, with leaving town and all it may be something that's better to be done and done before you leave. seeya tonight.
