How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned;

Merry Christmas everyone!

Last night was great with my family in from out of town all at my parents home. Pretty traditional as far as that was concerned. Today, my friend Michele and I delivered meals to people who are way too sick to leave their homes and to help themselves. The area we were in in Jersey City is not so great. Especially considering...

Oh. The holidays. . . I want to feel something. I want to crave gingerbread and have the urge to knock someone out over the last Tickle Me Elmo doll or some such thing. I am willing it upon myself. I wonder if I can use the force and make it happen.

2007 was beyond imagination. It's too early yet to start waxing poetic ......

I've never heard that song. I so want to.

Yeah, these holidays that try to bring out a spirit in us that we should have all the time are wrong. Valentine's Day is another one. I celebrate Halloween much more often than once a year.

I'm home. I'm packing and moving. I should be out doing some holiday partying, but tonight the party is right here. A bottle of wine, sushi, and about 100 boxes I'm trying to fill.

It looks like a bomb went off. I almost seriously injured myself tripping over one of the boxes running to get the door for the delivery guy.

Thank God I can...

I'm leaving CA tomorrow. No life changing events. Although surfing was the coolest thing I've ever been really bad at.

When I first went out in the surf all I could think of was how cold it was. But then all of these thoughts started flooding through my mind as fast as the waves breaking in front of me.

It was a struggle for balance,...

Off on my adventure tomorrow, but so much work to do first. It seems so tiring just to get where you're going to relax.

Today was my last day in my office, and I tried, once again, to say goodbye to someone I love. It's not even really goodbye I guess because it loses it's effect when you keep saying it.

It's never easy letting...

I have to start over today. Again. I lost a huge piece of myself and it seems like people can actually see through the gaping hole. I guess it has been gone for a long time. But there is a difference when you actually finally acknowledge that it is gone forever. So I have two choices here. I could fold. That would entail just laying...
