Ever have one of those . Kodak moments, or like moments that you want to cherish for a little while or to be able to look back on later, kinda to take a picture from afar and put it in your journal or scrap book. Like you want to fold the moment up and put in in your pocket and forget about it for a while and a long time from now find it and see that the edges have worn and its all faded and soft from oldness and being smooshed down for so long and you open it up and just remember the good feeling. But it's a moment you can't capture in a picture or journal really. Or at least I haven't been able to. This is my journal, so you get to hearread about it. I had one some years ago that made me cry a little during it. It was thanksgiving and I had my mom and my girlfriend at the time (Kimmus) and her mom and grammy and our roommates and close friends. I had set the whole thing up and got everyone there and Kimmus and I got all the food and house ready and I was preparing stuff in the kitchen and as I watched my friends and family and Kimmus's family outside chatting away I was so happy and I cried a tiny bit. No one noticed but Kimmus, but anyway, it was a nice moment. So that was just a prelude or whatever. The reason I bring this up was b/c the other day I had a moment like this. Not one to cry over or get choked up about, but that made me really happy and want to do that capture the moment thing. I was holding hands with two of my really good friends rollerskating and I don't remember what the music was playing, but it was just there and the air was blowing past us pretty fast and we weren't talking much and we didn't really go very far holding hands, just maybe a lap, but it was nice and happy. I'll prolly read this a while from now and think I went roller skating? Hmm, I think I remember that. Maybe I would like to capture the moments so much b/c I have such a bad memory. Anyway. That was a nice one. A really really nice one.

So on part of that note, Ramby set up rollerskating and it was a damn good time. I remember when I was younger being able to go pretty fast on those things. Its a lot tougher than I remember now. I think I'll be better at ice skating. Ramby's going to set that up later in the year too.

Thursday I went to the 2101 club again. Didn't go the week before since I was kinda sick. It was fun. Good people there. I was really really tired though and only stuck around for like an hour. While hanging out the cute bartender and I talked it up a bit. I asked her if she wanted to do something again soon and she was like, definitely, sure. So I got that going for me.

Rick was djing for a bit during the evening in the big room. He's pretty good. Not vinyl, cds, but it was good. That was fun. He and I like a lot of the same music I've found out over time. He even threw on a thrill kill cult track and so I found my fav song of theirs and put it on my myspace page earlier.

Had poker at my place Friday. A lot of people seem to like to say things like 'yeah, sure that would be fun' when not really having an intention of coming. It's like a polite thing to say. I'd rather them tell me no, or most likely not. But we had 5-7 people the whole night, different people during the night as it went on. I was the big weiner and ended up netting $35, winning two of five games and placgin second in two of the others. Last night I went with Dan and DrunkDave .. I don't think its very nice of me to say that. I'm going to stop. So Dan and ZeebaDave (his tanning salon is called ZeebaTan) Dave works too I guess. went to poker last night at some bar downtown. It was a good time. I got lucky and ended up second out of about 32 people. I won $25 and a $25 bar tab. So that's cool. I don't know if I could have won 1st. But I started getting a bad headache and getting impatient cuz I wanted to go lift still and had to get into the lab that night. But whatever. It was fun. I did end up getting a migraine. That sucked. I had to take some excedrin and a nap for an hour or so and skip lifting, then go into the lab after midnight. Blech. Sometimes I wonder if this is freakishly boring for others to read. Sorry.

Seneca and I went to the park again this weekend both days. Good times of course, but Sunday we had to take a time out cuz she wasn't listening very well at first when we entered the park. I'm really happy she decided to listen afterwards. I really hope it was b/c of the time out. I like taking naps with her in the middle of the weekend day after we've been to the park. She's all wiped out and we just nap.

Talked to Kimmus the other day. She's not doing great. She's ok she says, and very happy with Josh and this and that, but frustrated with Sidney I guess. I think shes burnt out right now. The way she's talke dot me the last couple times over the phone I just want to fly out there and pick her up and be like " ok, she's tried the whole teacher, wife, mom thing it was fun, but now she's going to come out to Denver and be Kimmus again" And she could stay with me and AJ and everything would be happy and junk. Eh. Anyway. She;s not miserable by any means I don't think, but she's just tired and needs a vacation/break. AJ suggested that she take a trip out here just by herself and so I suggested that to Kimmus, offering to help pay for most of the ticket if she could find a cheap one. After I got off the phone with her that night, about a half hour later she called me back and asked me what airport it would be. I think she liked the idea. I really hope she comes to visit sometime soon, just her. I wouldn'tmind spending the money on her to visit and she would have such a good time.

I've had some bad ass workouts lately. AJ suggested switching it up a little and doing two sets for each exercise and like 5-6 exercises each body part. (one or two body parts each day). Anyway, first set we do the heaviest we can do about 6 or so with. Then do each exercise like that. Then go through the exercise again but doing drop sets. Good stuff.

Saw Jet Li's Fearless. I thought it was going to be like blood sport with a bunch of one on one fighting matches and junk but much much better. There were only five matches and three of them didn't last very long. There was a bunch of other fighting and junk, but whatever. Its was ok. I want to go see science of sleep really soon.

I though Sicilian pizza was pizza with a bunch of toppings on it. It's not. It's think crust sometype a pizza. Thing is I think I learned that before. I think I do that from time to time. I learn something, but don't encode it and then learn it again later. Kinda fun sometimes. When it's a good feeling thing. Can be pleasantly surprised over and over again. On a similar note, have you ever made up your past. I think I remember a quote from Churchill or maybe it was BF Skinner. Eh, maybe someone else, anyway, something about you your memory tells you you did something, but logic says you couldn't have and after arguing with each other logic wins out. I've done that a few time sor more. I've remembered me doing something or just remembered something happening or whatever and its pretty clear in my head, but not crystal. Then after some logical thought I realize I couldn't have done that, or maybe I remember oh that was a movie I saw or a story someone else told meoops. When and if I get really old, I think I'm gong to have some bad ass stories to tell. If anyone will listen I guess.

I haven't been to the ballet in a a long time. I think I want to go again sometime over the winter. Tubing (the sleding kind) needs to be set up too.

My hair didn't turn out like I wanted it to. I had to set up another appt this week to get it fixed. Just need more and brighter really. Megze said next time I want it done, she'll help me. That should be fun. Maybe I'll try something extra fun, like blue or green.

I have so much to do this week. Looking forward to the weekend and taking time to work on my halloween costume. And hanging with friends. yay.

Obrien is coming home in October. Good stuff.

Oh right and pics.......
