eh. the insurance company is going to try & fuck me on this drum claim. what assholes. i will refrain from getting into it because when i think about this my rectum hurts. bad.
in other bad news; i found out that starting the 24th, the exit i take on my daily commute will be permanently closed. so now i have to take a less direct route to & fro. bastards! i had it so good, 5 minutes each way......
but that's about where the bad news ends. things have been pretty nice despite the cold weather. lots of quiet time inside getting my dose of vitamin k up close over the mlk weekend (always one of my favorite holidays). we watched the ali g dvd last night in a prone position, to the tune of many belly laughs. a drive-thru dinner from arby's (extra horsey sauce, please) followed up by a slice of cake, all in the company of a superkool girl that knocks your socks on your ass - that shit just can't be beat, amigos.
2005, i know we're already in it but i think this could be a big year for me. maybe it's the first year where i don't have to "get over" some major bullshit right out of the gates. 2003 hit me in the face when my then-wife left me. that year was all about rediscovering everything about myself, and i think i did pretty well. 2004 changed my life when i finally lost my job of 6 years. i'd hated it for so long, and i felt so free, but at the same time i hadn't done shit outside of that job for a long time and it was scary. the clean slate feeling i have now is only multiplied by the fact that i started a new job in my 'career field' just a few weeks ago. i feel like i'm perched on the verge of a whole new era for me.
with that said, the pessimist inside of me reminds us all that this could turn to shit at any instant for no reason so just enjoy the times when they're good and don't worry so much about the future, blah, blah, blah.
it's a little late for "resolutions", but there are some things i'd like to improve about myself. i'm pretty happy with who i am now, but there's always the desire to expound on the things that are already going in the right direction, i guess - like keeping up the good work with what i eat, making health a priority, taking care of myself.
fuck. what a lame journal entry. i'll try & come up with something better next time, but for now, this is what i got.
