Tonight I mourn my dead friends,
And toast them!
Rye?
Wheat?
White?
Pumpernickel?
Bagel?
Muffin?

The other day I read a brief article on entrepreneurship written by a venture capitalist. All through my youth and adult life my goal for mental up-time was to have better ideas, thinking that was my path to wealth. This fellow asserts that most businesses are poorly run and that mere competency is not only sufficient but a superior strategy to being an "idea man."...

I'll pass on the spanking. Funny how I always get those offers, though. wink

God... that SG thing you forced yourself to go to sounds awful. I'm sooooo glad I didn't go now, what with all the naked and the bouncing and the naked bouncing.

I didn't pay that close attention but the guys at that station were very nice. I know Yahoo maps said to make a U-Turn at Old Courthouse Rd. because that's the first "legal" U-Turn but I got antsy and said "screw it!' and I turned around early!

I haven't had much fine dining experience yet. I just got into town a month and a half ago and I'm working in DC so between my work hours and my commute hours I have no time for food hours frown

After years of establishing comfort and safety,
I'm bored.
Dangerously bored.
Mixing it up a bit by removing key elements of comfort and safety,
Just to see how the system balances itself.
Equalibrium?
Not my style.

Answers to your questions:
My car is now scrap parts.

The (Uma)girl turned out to be someone I went to school with who's lil' brother is a lil' bitch & wont give me her number.

I myself have never seen shrimp (which we call prawns) on a BBQ but from what I hear it happens quite often. The most common thing to find on a barbie is sausages (we call 'em snags) & sometimes steaks, chops or chicken.

Media=propaganda, and remember, it's for your own good. tongue
sockpuppet:
That would be about right. Though 8-track never really caught on here - cassette tape was the mass market car stereo medium.
sockpuppet:
You know, I've never, ever owned a quad system. (Call me anachronistic, and I'll agree. And ask you how much you spent on all those world-beating gadgets. That Betamax, for instance... tongue)
My CD player is stereo. The thing in my car (I just reactivated after 18 months without) is radio/cassette...

"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?
That's what it is to be a slave." -- Roy Batty

Today I did I few things I've feared to do for a while.

Tomorrow I'll do a few more.

I don't suppose most people really get Leyner. I think he may be a bit too raving for most people's taste. However, we can always place our hopes with the children. If we are very lucky, and read them perverse literature from an early age, the children might just get it.

My life will have been a success if I can achieve my goal of cramming 1.5 lives in to a 1 life bag.

I'd like to think good-hearted isn't well behaved. Sometimes my only comfort is in being decidedly not well behaved. Why? Well, I need to know where the boundary is, between me and the person I imagine is hurting me. But . . . what I said about text prevails. It matters little what we intend, or whose fault it is. Situations grow further into themselves and become . . . well, in-grown.

As for my childhood, I didn't call out the ghost of my sad father to play "name that pain" with you. I called it out to assure you, since you seem to require this assurance, that I have my eye on my son's heart before all else, because I know what it is to be "damaged" by adults. That's all. A historical fact is a historical fact, not a game to me. Especially my father and all that pain . . . that's no game or exploitative verbal maneuver.

I think it is at least bordering on oversimplification to blame anyone's marital problems on PMS, but, I do find that PMS amplifies in my consciousness what is actually going on. It is usually better for me to not write people, not speak to people, because the reality is too real and the impetus to torch is so strong . . . but it is seldom possible to manage pure silence and oblivion 10 days out of every month. But you wouldn't know what that's like, would ya? Gotcha there. wink

Oh, and my husband has refused counseling since my son was aged two. I've had counseling, and was told my depression was because I live with someone who probably has a personality disorder. There's pills for depression; there ain't none for personality disorder.

I'm not currently depressed or medicated for such. I've a clean bill of mental health, and you?

L'Shana Tova to everyone, jew and gentile! (that's Happy New Year in hebrew)

Rosh (head) Ha'Shanah (of the year) is the name of the holiday.

May this be your best year ever!

This last year has been my best ever and the new one promises to top it.
lassie:
Oh, I could use a New Year!

I'll call her, if I can overcome my shyness enough to.

Not to pry . . . well, yes, to pry: what need do you have of hypnosis? You seem pretty together, though none of us is without fragility, in some rarified "completeness" of form and function.

My new job is overwhelming me. I usually get clinically depressed when I work for pay (although never when I pay to go to school). The place seems a sweat shop--hurry, hurry, hurry, and forget about taking lunch . . . let alone federally mandated breaks. Then my boss calls me in at 5, after hours, and talks to me forever when I need to leave to pick up my son . . . and I've told her. Workaholics, ugh! puke Oh, and the talk is all work-related instructions, off the clock! Jobs drive me crazy. Wish I could just sit at home, like a fat cow and look at my PhD diploma while eating bon-bons.

As of yesterday I'm no longer a slumlord, at least until I buy another decrepit residential property and fill it with derelicts. smile

Uh, I could use some hypnosis for my insomnia. Last night I had to take Peppermint Schapps and Nyquil to finally, finally get to sleep. Yes, I did a re-fucking-lax-a-tion CD too. Waves of anxiety. Mostly anxiety over not getting enough sleep. That's what they call viscious circle, no? Maybe your people can make a better CD for me. I'll pay.

You read Mark Leyner! I will now dribble in my shorts. Pardon me.
