sorry it took me so long to update.
Cartoons are a strange thing, in that some people associate them with children and child-like enjoyment, yet (even if we totally exclude anime) many cartoons have themes that are solely for the enjoyment of adults. Rocko I always liked, and I'm not sure precisely why - quite possibly because I identify with being young (rocko looks young)...

well there's bad news, worse news, and good news.
bad news - work still sucks
worse news - work sucks harder than ever, i.e. that bonus I've been counting on that was to help get me to Portland I've found is not coming. At all. Ever. It's a myth. Fucking swine. Pigs. I spit on your grandmother's graves and I curse your children to die...

Hmm. Plagiarized? Not entirely sure I like the sound of that.

so things turned up a little. work is still 100% madness, but I'm getting used to it.
An old friend came into town and I was able to get him addicted to homestarrunner, amplitude, and offer him a place to crash. I'm a wonderful friend, aren't I? But it was cool, we did a couple dinners around my work schedule and caught up on...

i absolutely love talking to old friends, i hate just forgetting that people ever existed or not knowing if someone you once were really tight with is alive or not. i like to keep the connections going, esp if they live in different parts of the country/world, again thats some ulterior motives for ya, so i might have a place to crash should i be wandering through their town...
i've had a cough for the last week and everyone i talk to immediately makes a SARS joke, even my mom. Sensationalism cracks me up.
the good thing about being from NJ is that youget to like baseball teamsthat win stuff. GO YANKEES!!!

going into another working weekend, but with any luck I'll get a nice dinner on Saturday night to brighten the weekend.
I'm glad to see my profile is now policing itself, this saves the national government of pyratwilly millions of dollars in not having to hire or maintain an active duty force of police and / or military.
It's been thunderstorming and raining here on...

And to Sn. (that's Spanish for Mr.) Toaster,
Who made you Police Officer Profile?
Back to you PW. Life is an interesting beast. One minute you can be content with the state of your existence. The next you can realize your dearest friend keeps you as an object of obsession. It really rocks the world I live in. Adolescents are an interesting breed. I believe we all go through high school as a rite of passage. If you can make it out alive and in one piece the rest of the world is easy.

Thanks for offering a ride, but it's a 4 hour drive from Cedar Rapids to here. I'd be a tad bit late for my appointments.

i feel far from zen at most times, but that's the way it's got to be.
i worry about me, too. in all the situations we've talked about, because I do not deny my history. over the years of learning from my mistakes, I've tried to cultivate a very methodical and cautious way of doing things, both to cultivate energy and comfortably release it. things like minor debauches of the tongue-greeting variety i find safe enough, as sometimes physical expressions with those you feel comfortable with can be helpful, but i also know to what painful extents such happenings can lead to. it's not as much as I'm looking for a girlfriend as I am waiting until I'm ready to be open to one again, finding myself well enough and getting rid of adjustment items like promiscuity and meeting people in as balanced of a way that I can. and if i get burned, then the wound is just another to learn from.
like always. I know what I value, but I also value the process of getting there.
just don't worry, I'm not going to fuck ivy.

Hmm. That reminds me of my second year of high school. I'd had this friend through most of middle school, and I didn't get to see him for about two years for reasons that aren't entirely worth getting into. Anyway, when I finally saw him again, it was like he was someone else entirely, and I no longer wanted to be his friend. I'm not sure if I outgrew him or if he changed or what. I remember very vividly hearing the Green Day song "Enemius Sleepicus" and thinking that it fit perfectly.
Of the Smith characters, Dante's little rant about the difference between making a man and a woman climax was the one that seemed truest to me.
Purty? Cool. Thanks.

so it's been a couple days and not much has changed,
I'm heading south for a couple days here to see a couple friends from college- belated birthday celebrations more than anything I guess. Should be a good time, get some ok sushi - nothing on the PDX level, but hey, I'm happy when...

That waiter at the sushi place does sound rather annoying, and pissing him off sounds extremely scary. You have my sympathy.
I tend to really only like fake, Americanized sushi, which can usually be bought in a Supermarket. I feel so vulgar now.

do tell me that this is a good development, not a bad one. because it would suck to hear bad ones.
CABBAGE!!!!
CABBAGE!!!!
I blame radio for the bad taste is music. The corpratization of all of the stations has prevented most stations from playing anything even remotely good, so kids are raised on crap. I haven't listened to radio in about ten years because I just couldn't stand it. I'm hoping that with the advent of P2P technologies, kids will be more likely to explore good music and have better taste. VH1 is cool, though. They made Tony Orlando seem interesting. heh.
The anti-smoking commercials that annoy me the most are thost Truth commercials. If I could find the idiot that came up with them, I'd really like to scream in his/her face for a few hours. Lots of rage inside because of them.
Hmm, I rather liked Batman Beyond, but it seems as though I really am in a minority on that one. I'm not sure what makes a good cartoon. But, like you, I know what I like. And the taste is rather varied, let me tell you.
