2015: The International Year Of Light
Another New Year's Eve without a New Year's Eve kiss... not unusual, mind you - I'm batting .000 for a lifetime of New Year's Eve kisses!
unfortunately the few Near Year's Eve dates I've had cannot say the same - and then some - but that's another story :(
I was asleep well before the ball dropped on the east coast, but had a decent eve of watching New Year's Eve-themed films ( Four Rooms - New Year's Evil - Assault On Precinct 13 ).
had a few drinks, courtesy of a co-worker who drove me home - via local liquor store, after he heard I'd nothing to drink at home *smirks*
didn't finish 'em off, but that's what today is for, neh? (heh)
a couple of my more feminine co-workers are giving off-and-on rumblings about my being without a date for so long ( I guess since '07 is too long for some people? the usual for me )
they've even mentioned "hooking me up" with another co-worker - which isn't about to happen... sorry, work-dating just isn't kosher, especially with such a close-knit company.
I still feel it's unlikely dating anytime even close to soon... let alone anything more than that. it's been 8yrs since even a romantic kiss.
ANYways - we made it into another year, a year that passed by unbelievably fast!
survived the December change-up at work, though this month will be a test to see how well it truly works out
( my position hasn't change - I just took on a bit more... others positions have shifted, however )
my spawnlings are - no surprise - keeping me on my toes while making me feel "old" as always *laughs*
can't believe that they'll be turning 10 and 8 this year... where the hell have the years gone?!
their new schooling is a LOT better than their old schooling was, so that change has worked out well
the ex, unfortunately, isn't doing so hot and has some testing on the horizon...
as I told her, she has to survive at least another decade - we kinda need her around
she may be a little surprised that I care, but I do... we may not love each other, but she's a better friend than we ever were as a couple AND she's the mothre of our girls
received odd holiday cards from relatives I haven't heard from (or seen) in many years
have no idea how to respond - or if I will (I haven't yet to the ones who send regularly) *shrugs*
hells, I haven't talked to my fathre in a few months - but he and my sis-by-blood/nephew are off to Nevada often enough anyways, who knows if/when he's home
I've never been... connected... to my relatives anyways - I'm the 'black sheep,' after all
( which is humerous for a multitude of reasons I've mentioned before )
guess that's about all I've got.
working my hardest, being the best fathre I can be, and enjoying life - as I do every year.
no resolutions or special whatever for me, I live life day-to-day and that's what I'll continue to do.
Happy New Year, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk!
a buncha random twits ::
12/17 :
'love' weather this mornin'... "it's only 11 degrees, but not terribly cold" - riiiiight, 20 below freezing, time for shorts n' sandals? :(
12/18 :
had an enjoyable evenin' - and few glasses of wine - with co-workers and new acquaintances at Pub 41 in honour of a good man's retirement
12/20 :
dream: was in a mental facility/home, unable to express myself (due to further head damage?), but VERY protective of the other residents
12/20 II :
for all the media blitz about this "last holiday shopping weekend," methinks they forget how many demn holidays there ARE/were this month!
12/21 :
was tempted to shower/dress, & walk 15min for bacon & severely scrambled eggs - until I realize it's rain-snowing and 2° above freezing :(
12/21 II :
wow - N0bama is doing to do "everything [he] can" to fulfill a major campaign promise he hasn't accomplished... that'd make it - his first!
12/21 III :
wait - did you say you wanted a meal that melts in your mouth or melts your mouth?! I'll ask the cook to disregard the special ingredients
12/23 :
while I personally love it warmer, that I haven't had to trudge this December is absolutely wonderful! dry air, but absolutely beautiful!
12/24 :
really?! you want to wrap your gifts so you send your kids into an apartment hallway to run and play?!? yeh, I don't think so... not cool
12/26 :
if all these protesters REALLY wanted to get public attention, instead of criminal destruction they could break into SONG and dance!
12/26 II :
mmm-kay then - having a lot of potato chips, more than a few oreos, AND a bag of popcorn was kinda of a bad idea... stomach is PISSED off!

-thom Wolfox sR Rhose
unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "I live not for tomorrow nor yesterday, but for the day in which I dwell - today. Today is who I am, I know not who I'll be tomorrow, nor am I who I once was. Aspects of yesterday may remain into tomorrow, but I'm never completely the same, for each day I live, I learn and this knowledge changes me, rebuilds part of me, and I am anew." )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" / *breathe ... relax ... kill ... rinse ... repeat* )
( "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "I may not be the brightest orange in this bag o'donuts, but I know vasoline when I smell it!" / "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
