For the next year I'm going to be working at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation halfway house. I'll tell you what, after only a few days, I've already started to examine my behavioral patterns as well as those around me. I'm feeling better all the time. It sure is amazing the shit some of these people have been through.
Happy early birthday this weekend Mikael....

Salutations Everyone! I'm back and better than ever. Amazing what a few weeks absent of consistent internet connection can do. Thank you for all of the wonderful birthday wishes.
It's been far too long since the last time I updated and so much has transpired. I don't know where to start. Mikael, thanks for such a wonderful time while I was home, Kate had a...

fun!! The time has arrived. I'm leaving Madison, WI in a couple of hours, back to Bloomington for a little vacation. Of course, then there's a trek to Michigan to visit Mikael and the family.
I have neve been so excited, but I won't be updating for at least a week. In case I don't talk to ya, have a good one. Mikey, clean out the...

Happy Birthday man!

Joooooooshhh, you should update! The masses clamor.
I had such a wonderful time with the fam this weekend. Mikael can vouch for that. On top of that, Mike's little "green" present had me incapacitated for hours. It's definitely not for amateurs. Looks like Air America's website is down right now.
Only 4 more days until I leave Madison...no more work. Unfortunately, that also means no Internet for about a week or so....

I'll send them tonight later. How about that?

Mikael tells me the lady friend is a blonde, I thought you swore them off. 
It sure has been a long week and rather uneventful. I'm headed to Bloomington to start moving home. Only two more weeks in Madison. However, Mikael is coming to visit next week with Los Padres. I think that we're going to have a fun time in Milwaukee, right?
Only 14 more days left before I move...

i can't use that gandalf thing cause it's made of untreated combustible wood -- looks like pine to me. I tried, but it burns more easily than what's supposed to be burning. 
I'm gonna buy me a nice burl churchwarden soon.

This past Friday night was arguably one of the funniest, albeit most surreal experiences of my life. On Friday night, my roommates decided to have a party. Since my best friend had flown in from Ann Arbor for the weekend, I figured we would stick around to what happened. You must understand that live in a Real World-esque environment with three other people: a bi-sexual...

Ok people, let's get serious. How about this new way of spending quality time with your dog:

Makes so much sense doesn't. Meanwhile, millions of people are dying of aids, but let's let the family dog find its inner child

help me out here, dude
mikael:
Miss ya, brother. Update soon!!
Ok, so everything ended on a sounder and part of my faith has been restored in humanity. It appears that written words do not adequately represent a verbal sequence of events. The printed word allowed my mind to run away with things and picture things...let's say a little bit differently. I am relieved.

Les will ber here shortly. That's where I come into the picture.
Dude, it doesn't suck at all seeing how they live. Honestly. Expenditure and severe psychological dysfunction aside, we're still family and I always feel welcome. "Without the bitter, there ain't no sweet!"

So the plot thickens in my ever hopeful fight to find faith in humanity. What a day! The artist from yesterday, whose bike was transplanted and damaged yesterday, turned out to be the owner of a nightclub down the street from where I work. I smiled as if trying to engulf the world as he approached the green Mercedes. What was he going to do?...

Good luck!

if you were dating, then as Mikael said, you've found a slut. Sounds like you two just need to talk it out. And shame on your friend.
*hug* seriously Josh, I don't get it, because you and Mikael are two of the awesomest men I've ever encountered. Jean and Lar must have done something right.
I don't know if sucking cock, fooling around or sex is worse, and I'm not sure it matters what is worse. I think they all constitute cheating.
I just think anytime you get the details it leads to a wild imagination trip and shouldn't be thought or asked about. Better to just tell her how you feel about, decide what happens from there and let it go.
good luck!
