Pinochet died and I'm watching Apocalypse Now. Picked up the Redux version for ten bucks. Also picked up "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan . . must be in a Vietnam mood. It's cuz of Iraq. Iraq is the new Vietnam and I would be happy to argue against anyone who disagreed.

I should update my info! I won't. Adios!

And I'm back! I've moved again, out of a house full of drunks (too much temptation, i'm trying to put down the bottle) into a house full of geeks! Bad pop references galore! Oh well, at least now I live with someone who understands that "World Ping-Pong" is NOT what the 360 was created for. Of course I was way behind the times--just bought my...

Meh, maybe somebody would read if I ever posted. Maybe not.

I'm happily buzzing, soon to be happily drunk, followed by happily passed out. The topsy-turvey world of living has kind of called for a night of drinking and revelry. A good friend is leaving to become a manager at a Sears store in Fort Dodge, IA. Well, maybe not a GOOD friend, but a...

Over a month since I last updated?

I spent the weekend in Minneapolis. It's a fun place to visit.

That's all.

Two months since the last update. Oh well. It's not that I'm even minding I'm unnoticed. After all, I'm a historian and any historical record is a good thing, even if it's only good and exciting a dozen years down the road or whatever.

Alright, let's catch up on my favorite subjects:

VIDEO GAMES: Wow. Correct that, WoW. I am into teh WoWz. Yeah, this is the game that I avoided like the plague when it was called Everquest because I knew it would consume me utterly and destroy my college life. But now that I'm out of college and my best friends have all become moved away or married or Jesus Nazis, teh WoWz just kinda fits. Fun game play PLUS online socialization? Damn you, Internet!

I have a Halo 2 party coming up later in the month, and I'm gonna get stomped on. I've HARDLY played multiplayer at all, and certainly not online against the bloodthirsty competitors known as twelve-yr old boys. I'ma get stomped on and scraped off the road.

GIRL TROUBLE: Doesn't exist. I've done a fine job of convincing just about everyone that I'm a he-man woman-hater who doesn't give a shit about the opposite sex. True to a point, I guess. I'm not a fisherman. I don't want to go trawling through the parties and bars and coffee shops and places of employment in the HOPES of finding a girl that will be something more than six months of sex and wasted paychecks. I want to go to the lobster tank, point at the lobster that matches EXACTLY what I want, and let that lobster blink with its silly unblinking eyes, as if to say "Yes I am the lobster for you and shall remain so now and for the rest of my pathetically short life." BUT it doesn't work that way, I have to play the game. I don't want to play it, though, so I don't. I'm sure that I'll change my mind eventually, but I haven't looked (well, with much seriousness) for a girl to be mine for like two years, and I doubt I'ma start right away.

JOB-HATING: Kinkos and I are coming to terms with the fact that we're no longer good for each other. It's been a hard nine months of love, hate, passion, and heartbreak, but we obviously made a mistake and both of us need to move on. I have my third interview with Office Depot in two hours, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting the job. I'd be very, very surprised if I didn't at this point. But nerves, they still exist. Sears, on the other hand, is great. Sure there's a lot of frustration and tiredness because my one day off (Labor Day) turned into a day of labor, but I guess that's what I should expect. It's the same with every holiday where the rest of the world doesn't work.

BY THE WAY, AND LET ME MAKE THIS CRYSTAL-FUCKING CLEAR . . . IF YOU'RE THE KIND OF MOTHERFUCKER WHO GOES SHOPPING ON A HOLIDAY INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND WITH YOUR FAMILY, OR GOING CAMPING, OR DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU NEED TO DO TO RELIEVE STRESS, man I am fucking gunning for you.

CAR: I still love my little blue Metro whose title I don't have. Since gas is over $3 a gallon, I love it a lot more. If I do get this new job I'll need a new car, though, and I think I'll finally be able to afford that Mustang I've always wanted. Then the Metro will become the fun car to play with--I'ma rice it out I think, just for shits and giggles.

APARTMENT: I have my own place now! It's so goddamn nice . . . I don't know how I ever managed to live so long without one.

Done typing for now because I'm getting tired of it. See you all in three months!

When I was a younger man, a military man with a good career and a fine-looking woman at my side, when I had everything on a platter, the Fugees covered "Killing Me Softly." Fuckberries, I loved it. I loved it so damn much. I'd make love to my woman to it, thinking it was about the greatest song ever. I was quite the singer back...

I'm back, baby!

Oh fuckberries, having my own place is so much fucking better, and worse, than I remembered it being!

You ALL need to come visit! Bring your friends! I have two couches, two TVs, a nice bed to share (ladies *gg*).

Working 70 hours a week to pay for it. Today's a sick day--I'm just burned out.

I've missed SG, I'm glad to...

I haven't talked to Sara since Saturday. I really want to just call her and ask her how things are going, maybe ask her out for coffee some night, but I know she's just starting a new job and I, well, I'm cursed with a schedule from hell this week. Mother's Day I had the day off, which was nice, but every other freakin' day...

I'm having a discussion within my head about my paranoia. If something's too good to be true, it obviously is. So after a period of about a year and another year, I may have met a girl that I like. Not just like, but AM like. Like enough that she might be dateable. But for the love of Christ, I'm paranoid.

I'm asking her out,...

What to say, what to say . . .

I'm 25! That's a quarter century! That's a third of my life! Wow . . . 25.

Five of us from Sears went out to celebrate my birthday. We went to a bar in Iowa City where Brandon was getting me hugs from anything with long hair and a nice ass in the place (I swear...

Hectic and sad. And happy. And exciting with anticipation.

Friday night my old horse died. She was 36 and was just too old and arthritic--she laid down like she always does, but couldn't get back up. I'd seen that once before in another dying horse. We had a neighbor come over and shoot her (I couldn't bear to, really, even though I kept telling everyone...

Well, after my last (very negative) post(s) I finally have some good, good news! I completed a WHOLE day back at work! The pain is so much less than it was yesterday--it really is so freakin' nice!

I'm able to go walk in the woods, and even though it's a bit chilly, I just drop off my t-shirt and grab my gun and go work...
