I'll have to unplug and back away from the computer some time soon... I re-discovered a book that I had read back in music school that redefined a lot of musical ideas of mine. It is out of print but the author, in a graceous act of brilliance, put the book up on the web as downloadable text. Only problem to this is the text...

Thanks to my new Sandman calendar & the leap year, I now know my B-day lands on summer solstice! It normally shares Father's Day & my mother's B-day is the day after mine, the 21st. Growing up I always thought this sucked! My phillipino Dennis the Menace childhood-self hated the fact that I couldn't just hoard & shine in b-day attention. I regularly shared a...

So, let's the game of good news/bad news... Good news - Alien Princess and I have successfully moved into our swinging new pad! All bulky things are settled, utilities are on and humming and we spent the new year together there. Smooth sailing! Bad news - Phone lines are out until the 5th, DSL out until the 15th or so... 
So true believers, this may...

The moving van Eagle has landed! Made four trips of random bulky stuff - Bookcases, futon frame & mattress, what have you. Two trips to the hardware store and at least another one tomorrow. I scoured like a motherfucker & plan to take on minor repair/replacement work in the bathroom & bedroom. Though, I'll have to be sure to bring my Discman & a case...

An afternoon spent in contemplation... I got the word from one of the only friends of mine I've kept from high school, an nice guy but at times shallow. I wrote the Amibition poem about him a long time ago. He called me seeking info about Univ. of Nebraska at Lincoln & living costs, etc. He received a full scholarship in their doctorate program -...

Ahhh, college. I started out like a hurricane in a handbag..straight A's for the first 2 years..then i met this chick who looked like Stevie Nicks with tattoos and piercings, then i forgot all about showing up for class, books, ect. Flunked out, never thought much about it until recently, and all i got to say about it is "thank god for stevie nicks look-a-like floozies". I cant imagine what direction my life would have taken if i had completed the whole thing. I am happy as hell with life how it is, there is nothing that a degree would have given me outta life that i havent already gotten on my own without it. Except maybe Phd at the end of my name.
Happy New Year Bro. No regrets.

i hope you get a heapin' helpin' of delicious pie.

A strange long double-shift... It was spent blocking blows from a client of mine. He occaisionally got a good one in - The first being him going Hulkamania on me and my shirt. I'm now working on stretching exercises, reaching for merlot & advil. *sigh* I thankfully have tomorrow off though, it'll be spent packing stereo gear, guitars & their effects rigs. I'm also due...

wow - kate moss almost looks like a french fry! but not together, eh? i am unfamiliar with the chef of questionable nerves, but it sounds hilarious. i DO have ziploc bags in every available size .... hmmmm, perhaps this is deeper than i thought.
Pretty good day overall...Flitted about with my pimpin' 12 yr old brother, assisting him spend his Xmas gift cards. Also got the chance to go to Costco and buy bulk supplies for the new flat - new tupperware-ish containers, a neverending box of trash bags and some nice non-slip cutting boards (which can only help me really).
It was also the day of bumping into...

I never suggested you learn norwegian. That I recall. roaroaraor.
So, Xmas came and went...quickly enough for my tastes. No real family drama or debacles aside from the usual. I worked a 13 hour day which aided in not having to see more obnoxious relatives and maximizing in holiday pay.
This year my kid brother, known as 'Boy' within the family, is on the outer cusp of Santa/No Santa insights. I'd give it to him...

damn, I think I'm getting sick.

wow - if you can master 7th grade, then you are a total rock star. what an interesting combo - santa and pimpitude.
xmas was downright pleasant - a shocking turn of events. seeing family also merits holiday pay, but yay to you for managing to to avoid the former whilst maximizing the latter.

The Pit
You madly kiss my lips - I seem to see
A dreadful pit that's gaping wide for me,
For you are a professional in love
Amateur, I in my simplicity.
