Well it's day two of the let's see if I can quit smoking without killing anyone project. I have to admit that the prospect looks slim. . . trying to conquer a smoking addiction coupled with an addiction to coffee and chocolate just seems like a steep hill to climb. I wanted to believe that I was doing it for my wife, and doing it...

Get some toothpicks and keep one in your mouth to sub the cigs. Plus the added bonus of clean teeth!

Hey bud, hope the quitting is going well. Info on the next party is posted.
I'm having a Jerry McGuire moment, I've somehow managed to go to bed three times tonight only to find myself getting back out of it because my brain won't shut the hell up for ten minutes. The main problem is that I'm not really thinking about anything, there isn't a single thread of conscious thought, or purpose going on . . . just white noise....

I here you and silvereve will be coming tonight! Would it be possible for you to bring that phone you had mentioned? That would be awesome!
hafu:
ive had many many white noise nights.... they suck because there is nothing real to resolve!
I've started to write again. . . I'm not sure how long it's going to stay flowing but hey I'll take what I can get. I'll have to take the two writing ideas that people where kind enough to give and turn them into something, or maybe I'll combine them. Grrr.... it's saturday and I've not a thing to do, guess I'll write the night...

I had a dream that turned into reality. . . no I'm not going to gush romantic . . . I was sitting on a hilltop watching the grass blow in the wind, a few flowers where slowly tilting towards the sun. I blinked, not even a second went by and there where dozens of cars crashing into on another in the center of the...

1. a British gangster has to collect a gambling debt from an old guy... but it's not that simple, because the debtor 1) has an (almost?) preternatural ability to talk people out of things, plus 2) he has a secret over the gangster, which is...... ?
2. Two astronauts are in a space station, and they have a personal conflict which is getting in the way of even basic courtesies and work production. They decide to sit down (or hover down) and have a talk about it.
3. A US President from Texas (but really a Kennebunkport Yale pansy) suddenly starts to regret all of the very stupid, destructive decisions he's made. We are privy to his inner mental battle in the story.

ok so Robert Smith is getting down and dirty with a midget when walks in Siouxshee.
One thought occured to me at half past three. . . amazing how sometimes Robert Smith can come up with the perfect line to sum up ones life? I sat in front of the blinking of my computer late last night trying to open up what I was hoping would be a flood gate of thought, only to find less than a trickle of images...

You're absolutely correct.
What's the point in writing to sound clever or interesting if you're not investing anything in it?

I've got a mental image for you..... Robert Smith, midget and Kate Bush makes three..... 
After an hour of playing around with the camera, kicking my computer and growling loud enough to scare my neighbors dog. . . the photos from the DC Party Version 2 hosted by saintinsomniac have been added to my album.. . . If your names aren't on the pics I apologize but I'm amazed enough that I managed to get that much done. . ....

I just use GoogleImages. It's really blown open the whole finding-pics world.
I have 3 pics up from The Holy Mountain in there, and 2 from El Topo (well, obviously the record cover). The former is, without a doubt, the greatest visual feast in all of cinematic history. Whether or not it's the "best movie" depends what you mean... but it is way, waaay outside the box of a "nice little flick" at the local Cineplex. Topo's pretty cool, too. Santa Sangre's ehh, okay. Didn't care for Fando Y Lis, but the DVD has a good documentary on Jodorowsky (at one point in the '70s, he was gonna make Dune with Pink Floyd doing the soundtrack. They show some artist's conceptions of how that might've turned out... not that I'm a Dune expert at all).

Somehow I managed to start the evening off by winning a battle with silvereve over when we should leave (note to self, in the future don't bother battling with her she is always right) and we surprised saintinsomniac in the act of finalizing the party floor plan. Twenty whole minutes early and nothing to do but wait. Going against...

I dunno why I talk politics so much at parties- next time, I will stick to sociology.
There were 'good-looking-women galore' at that partay (maybe Ian Fleming might've worded it a lil differently).

Yeah, I get the "not again"s every freakin Monday morning. And keep in mind- things have been way better than normal for me the last few days. It's still not good enough. I will die before I set foot in this building (hi, I'm at work) in 2006. I am waaay too in a life-rut. People will read this and think, "Man, you get to go online a couple hours at work; what could be wrong?" I'll tell ya- it's having worked in places that are better. Knowing that there's a better way out there, at many other branches where I could work.
Bit of good news- my biz trip tomorra. I will not set foot in here the next 3 days.

I'm guessing that if I continue to go at the pace I'm currently setting I'll blow up in about 30 days. Tuesday found me in baltimore, wednesday was a mad dash to Hancock MD and whatever other small towns lay in wait around there. Thursday I drove a little over seven hundred miles to Western West...
