Now that Xmas is gone...

So Xmas this year kind of sucked in that I ended up getting sick. I'd been sneezing all last week, and come Thursday night, I felt harrible! Ginger tea has been helping tremendously all weekend, but even today Monday I still feel a little bit of the cold in my throat and chest. I guess I should look at this as a blessing...better to get sick now than later, I leave to New Orleans for New Year's this very Thursday! I am a little jittery to be honest. Excitement and some nerves all rolled up into one!

I am stunned as is the world, over this 9.0 quake that caused tidal waves and has now claimed some 25,000 lives in Southeast Asia. That is not even possible is it?! WOW!!! That is too sad. The quake was so strong that according to scientists, it has knocked the Earth out of its normal rotation. UNFREAKIN'BELIEVABLE!

Xmas is coming, Xmas is coming! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

So, even though I don't really like Christmas, I got into the spirit by putting up our tree. How sweet! If only I can get my shopping started and done soon, I'll be just dandy! EEK!

It's official! I have bought my airline ticket online to spend New Year's Eve in New Orleans! WOOHOO! David's coming along, we were kind of upset that our buddy Johnny flaked on us at the last minute, but it was expected. HO HUM! We really really wanted Johnny to come along, he would've had a great time in the Big Easy. I leave Thursday morning, Dec. 30th and won't return hopefully till Monday, Jan. 3rd. I pray and hope our plane flights go well. I HATE FLYING, BUT HOW ELSE DO I GET TO MY DESTINATION RIGHT??!! UGH!

Gotta go back to work, or pretend to...

As The World Turns

It has gotten so cold here in LA, and so much earlier than normal too! Work is work and last night, I spent it with my ambiguous co-worker William trying to lend an ear to his just failed relationship with some bitch at work. The more and more I listened to his pain, the more and more my crush on him grew. And he must know, for he prick teases me all the time. He was even open to going to a gay bar last night and hanging out. My friends David and Sonny think he is straight for now, but open to the idea of going gay eventually, if not now. GULP! I feel so comfortable around him, and yet nervous too. It's the weirdest feeling. Last weekend, we all hung out together too, went to a strip bar with fully naked chicks! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! And we also went to see "ALEXANDER" a most homosexual movie indeed.

Thanksgiving is over with, now it's on to Christmas and New Year's. If I don't buy a plane ticket to New Orleans this coming week, I'll have to stay in LA for the New Year, and I don't want to.

Nada más pasándola

A few words to share. I’ve missed three concerts as of late, Morrissey, Café Tacuba, and Green Day, only three of my favorite music artists. BUMMER! I’ve been caught up with work, gym, and my own chores and crap that I totally let time go by on me. It has just flown right on by without stopping for li’l ole’ me. It’s true! Time waits or stops for no one!

I saw House of Sand and Fog, Don’t Tempt Me and Full Metal Jacket this past weekend. House of…is very depressing and frustrating to sit through, Don’t Tempt Me is a witty charming movie from Spain with Penélope Cruz, Gael García Bernal, and Victoria Abril in a very witty comedy about Heaven vs. Hell. And of course, there’s Full Metal…with the most captivating boot camp set of scenes ever put on film. I still have Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Amélie to watch on DVD. So hopefully I can do that during the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend.

And it looks as though we’re buying our airline tickets to New Orleans soon, hopefully the price starts to come down as it has been royally expensive! The boy I like is ignoring me, but my sex partners only seem to get steamier and better. Thank God for giving me some looks.

GOOD NEWS!

Let's see, Yasser Arafat has kicked the bucket, and Scott Peterson has been convicted of cold-blooded murder! Can it get any better? WOOHOO! I get so happy when scum finally dies or is removed from society. Although to be quite honest, I feel so bad for Laci Peterson's family. That is so sad. So sad...

The world is yours...

That's a line right out of "Scarface" I believe, where Al Pacino stares intently at a blimp with those very words going across it. I do feel I have the power to do anything and achieve so much, and yet, all I want to do once I leave work today is lay down and take a long nap! GO FIGURE! I don't think it's because I'm lazy, it's only because it's hard to stare into a computer screen, type away, and answer phones for 8 hours a day! It's mentally tiring I should say.

I am excited at the possibility of having found a new cool guy to hang out with and perhaps discuss Shakespeare with! AHEM! Yes, that's it. SHAKESPEARE! Now if only I can get rid of this allergy/cold, my upcoming days off will be a treat! Wish I were going somewhere to speak of, but there is always New Orleans for New Year's Eve. Hopefully.

Um, he's still president?!

Alright. I know there's lots of disappointed people out there. We're just gonna have to deal with Bushy four more years. He is our president after all, and we gotta stand behind him and support him as much as possible...until free speech, abortion, and gay rights are eliminated. GULP!

Election Day Hath Arrived

Well, it's here kids! The day that "we the people" choose our leader! Or so we've been lead to believe! AHEM! I had to vote for John Kerry, my conscience would not allow me to vote for George Bush who is a Bible-thumping freak and hates gays. I do like the fact he'll kill terrorists, but I'm sure Kerry will do the same when push comes to shove. The whole world is watching this, after all, what happens here affects everybody everywhere. We're the modern day Roman Empire folks! Plan and simple.

Halloween was cool, went to a club that featured predominantly shirtless gay men on ecstasy! I was hoping my co-worker Lord William would join Leslie and myself, but he flaked out last minute to go pursue other adventures. Whatever those may be! QUACK QUACK QUACK as the Howard Stern Show sound effect goes.

We're on pins and needles here, waiting for this election night to be done with. Sure hope enough people get laid while waiting for the returns, which reminds me, what did I do for lunch today hmmm? HEEHEEHEE!

The Beatles' music makes me happy

So Osama Bin Pussyass comes out with yet another tape warning us and talking shit. What a ridiculous individual, with so much money only looking to kill and destroy, instead of helping out.

Halloween is tomorrow, but my friends and I are gonna go out and start celebrating tonight. Planning this year's trip to New Orleans for New Year's is very very difficult. Airfare is not cheap this time around, and coordinating our flight times is just as complicated. Oh well. I'm sure we'll figure it out. Time to change the time once again. At least we gain and extra hour of sleep. Or partying. However you want to look at it.

Just some quick words before I leave work...

I had such a shitty day yesterday. I didn't feel well at all, but I stuck it through at work. I thought I'd be blowing chunks or something. I felt edgy and nauseous. Today I felt fine however! WOOHOO! Boy we had some serious amount of rain here in the past week, I do predict a very wet season. Look for hillsides, streets, and trees to be washing up and all over Southern Cali this fall and winter. HALLOWEEN is just around the corner. I still don't know what specifically I'm doing, but it is getting darker, which means the time change is just about here. Café Tacuba is in town on November 22nd! I cannot wait to see these guys live! I've been a big fan of theirs ever since their first album came out back in 1992 I believe. These guys are the Mexican Beatles...they play any and all kinds of music genres and their songwriting is first-rate unlike Maná, which kept putting out the same kind of tired typical basic rock song. Green Day's new album is a musical delight to the ears as is the Beastie Boys' latest too. I love music man. It gives me new life, when I feel I have none left.

Sweet Friday

I cannot thank my lucky stars enough that it's Friday yet again! And we're finally in the fall season, which is my favorite of the entire year! I love Halloween despite the fact I keep hearing it's Satan's holiday! Something about scary movies, costumes, and the whole atmosphere makes it such a cool holiday. I prefer it way more than Christmas, with it's freakin' gifts, crowded shopping malls, and annoying holiday songs! LONG LIVE HALLOWEEN! WOOHOO!

I have a brand new spankin' cell phone with great long-lasting battery power, I'm gonna vote for Kerry hoping he'll kill sand dwellers a la Bush without hating the gays like him, sadly my aunt goes back to El Salvador tonite, and I've been a bad boy in that I haven't gone to the gym in almost three weeks now. And so the fast pace of this my life rolls on and on...

Film at its finest

Saturday night, I went to see an immensely enjoyable, educational, and wonderful piece of filmmaking called, The Motorcycle Diaries. I was much more impressed than I thought I would be, as was my friend Michael who along with me raved about the film. Gael García Bernal continues to astound me as a young Mexican actor with nothing but promising film roles in his future. I just hope that when he finally does start making Hollywood films in English (like Antonio Banderas who got lost in Hollywood crap unfortunately after brilliant films in Spain) that he gets wonderful roles and doesn't stop making incredible thought-provoking films like he has been these past few years in Spain and Latin America. García Bernal is wonderful as a young Ché Guevara (yes, that very one) who along with his friend go on a wild life-changing trip throughout South America. Not only does it expand their horizons and views of the world, but also the viewer's, and I found myself totally engrossed in these characters and their very many outrageous, yet poignant adventures. It is the best film I have seen all year so far, and it was subtitled in English! It helps that I know Spanish, but I think people of any culture or language background would enjoy this movie. IT KICKS MAJOR ASS BABY! Gael has also been in some good stuff before, notably: Amores Perros, Y Tu Mamá También, and El Crimen del Padre Amaro. Don't forget folks, The Motorcycle Diaries, now playing at an independent or some major theater near you!

DAS IS FULL O' SHITTEN!

Let's face it. I am now at a stagnant job working with an unbelievably heinous aggressive woman from Thailand whom I told off so harshly yesterday, that from now on, she will pray for me to go to hell when she goes to church on Sundays. Yes, she quite literally said that. And oh yeah, then there's the other prick who supplies us with the office material, he not only has a bad attitude, he doesn't like to shower frequently either. AM I IN A GOVERNMENT JOB SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF STUPID ASS BEATCHES AND JERKS OR WHAT???!!! UGH! And I blame myself for this, for not continuing to go to school, for not applying to a decent job which would honor and uphold my skills as an educated person. WHAT THE F**K am I still doing here??!! I am better than this! I KNOW I AM. And it irks me that I have let fear, this insidious fear of risk-taking stop me from pursuing and realizing my full potential!! So here I am now, suffering the consequences of underachievement, working in this government job which started out just dandy and has turned into a quagmire, where I have to put up with the multiple personalities, mental disorders, poor English skills, and shitty attitudes of others! IS IT JUST THIS JOB, OR ARE ALL JOBS FULL OF SO MANY PRICKS???! God, I know it can't be me, I can't be the prick, I make people laugh way too often to be a problem. Needless to say, I am disappointed right now. Not because I do not have DSL, but because of something valid! That was an inside joke by the way. This is so discouraging. What am I gonna do to take action? I gotta do something. Or just keep my mouth shut and continue to take it like a man. Thank God it's the weekend...

The horror continues...

We are in a nightmare situation in Iraq. It's devastating to hear two more innocent American civilians were beheaded! I had a co-worker of mine with a stronger disposition view the video of Mr. Armstrong's execution and he said it was horribly gruesome. Watching Nick Berg's video was enough for me, but to hear his description alone was enough to turn my stomach. We all furiously and unequivocally agree, these brutal beheadings have got to stop! ENOUGH ALREADY! What is our government doing now to stop this shit? We need to bomb the hell out of Fallujah and these other rebellious strongholds and send a clear message that this kind of behavior has gotta stop! Bush has no idea how to stop this killing, and what is Kerry going to do if he's elected? I feel as though both candidates now suck! THIS IS REALLY GETTING TO ME NOW FOLKS! We're less than two months away from a major presidential election! This is the BIG TIME! We've got a shitty economy, a shitty war, and a shitty outlook here. BLAH! I'm only 30, and the world has gone mad!

Ees Tuesday!

Waiting for lunch right now, so I'm killing time. I bought more CD's through Amazon.com last week. ELO, The Moody Blues, 311 (NICK HEXUM...what a babe man!), Journey, John Lennon, Heart, and Mott the Hoople. I think I bought something else in that eclectic mix of artists, but I can't remember right now. I cannot believe how obsessed with music I am. I only know two or three other people like myself, including my best bud, now San Diego transplant Angie. I live for a good album, or song, no matter what genre, but I usually prefer rock and pop, especially from the British. Most of the music I listen to now was recorded decades ago anyway, since most of the music coming out today is full of mindless forgettable singles. Hard to find a good complete artistic album anymore, which is truly truly sad!

I need to go to the gym today. It is imperative that I do, since I haven't been in about two weeks, and I need to sweat out all the negative stuff. My friend David leaves for Florida this week for his sister's wedding and then it's on to Memphis to say goodbye to an old friend who may be dying from a horrible terminal illness. On top of this, there's a hurricane headed straight for the Floridian panhandle, which is where David's going. I dunno how that's gonna work out and if there's even gonna be a wedding after Ivan comes through. Here's hoping it all works out for the best within the next 48 hours or so. YIKES! I think my lunch hour is here. Iraq still sucks by the way. And we're less than two months from a major presidential election. GOD HELP US.

ONLY NOW DO YOU REALIZE THAT ISLAMIST TERRORISTS ARE EVIL?

The Russian school massacre by those sand people last week was horrible! HORRIBLE! No question. What pisses me off though, is that some of the Armenian community here at work have circulated an email calling for the death of Muslims for their atrocities. Well HELLO!!! It only took this incident last week for y'all to show some disgust or political activity? I've been screaming at the top of my lungs and upset since 9/11/01 when they struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon! It's been three years since those sickos got us good, and I have nothing but contempt for that religion and the people who so fundamentally practice it. Say what you will about President Bush, he does not hesitate when it comes to killing these terrorist pigs! I just pray and hope John Kerry is just as militant, for these sand-dwelling murderers do not understand treaties or agreements, only grenades and shotguns up their bungholes. They must die. Israel has long suffered their killing, the first WTC bombing in '93, the embassies in Africa, the USS Cole, 9/11, the bombing in Bali, terrorism in Iraq, the Russian planes, the school in Russia...how much more proof do you kids need that we are indeed in a full-scale war against enemies of all that is free and good?

In other news, I went to Santa Barbara on Saturday. Still beautiful, lots of dogs, hotties, and plenty of sun. Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...this is life in the good ole' USA. Here's hoping Florida doesn't get Hurricane #3 soon.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Ugh. I am so sleepy right now. It's almost lunch time and I have lots and lots of work, but absolutely no energy! At least the weekend is almost here thank God. And it's Labor Day weekend too, which is cool. My mom and family wanna go to Santa Barbara on Sunday, I'd prefer to go Saturday, but my mother says she has to work. She doesn't really have to and claims she cannot stop working because I'm not willing to support her, which is just not true! She'll never be satisfied with her kids, alas, these are our Latina mothers. They love their kids, but hate them at the same time. If that even makes any sense. THIS PHONE at work will not stop ringing at all today, it's starting to get on my last NERVE! SHADDUP! SHADDUP! SHUT THE...UP! I was just thinking the other day how much I love music ya know? It's one of the few pleasures in life I relish, along with screwing, sleeping, laughing, and eating. I own tons and tons of CD's and put music on any chance I can. When at home, I gotta have my stereo on, or else I feel naked. In my car, gotta have the stereo on too. At work, I don't have the radio on so much, because everyone here is BLARING LOUD and have their own radios on, so trying to truly enjoy my music is worthless here. Right now someone's got that BORE Norah Jones on. BLAH! I'd much rather be listening to good ole' classic rock, British-style baby! I love singing KARAOKE even though it really is cheesy and for losers who never really amounted to becoming true singers. THE HURRACAYNE'S A'COMIN'! Florida's got another pinwheel-shaped huge ass storm coming its way! As if one two weeks ago or so wasn't enough. AND THOSE REPUBLICANS this past week have been BORING! BORING! I'd rather watch mold grow than that convention. Schwarzenegger was ridiculous and cliché-ridden in his speeach and Dick Cheney's twisted frown and delivery was about as exciting as sharpening a pencil. I guess George Dubyah speaks tonight, so that should be somewhat interesting, even though more and more do I realize how intolerant his party is to so many disenchanted, like us gays. I love that Bush'll kill terrorist bastards, but not his intolerance of gays or Howard Stern or scientific progress. He's very backward in his views and a Bible-thumping nerd really. Which is too bad. I guess I'll have to vote for Kerry and hope he'll drop a nuke or two when necessary and not back down. Hmmm...how strange. I'm not that sleepy anymore, must be because I'm doing something I like and have interest for, unlike my job. LOLOLOLOL! I have this really nice man from Iraq who learned French working to my left here who will not shut up the entire day speaking to me in French. I have never spoken this much French in my life and should be truly ready once I visit those frogs someday, but MAN! TAIS-TOI HOMME! He will not shut up for more than three seconds. I'm wondering if he doesn't have some sort of sick obsessive gay crush or something. AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!! He says I speak French very well and loves to practice with me. Well cool DADDY-OH, but just be quiet a little longer okay? MON DIEU! Anyway, I'm signing off for now, soon to report on this mee life ASAP.

THE BLOGGER THIS EVENING IS A PIECE OF DONKEY EXCREMENT

WHAT THE HELL??!! WHAT THE HELL!??? THIS BLOGGER TONIGHT IS ANNOYING THE F**K OUT OF ME!! IT JUST DELETED TWO OF MY LOGS JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO POST THEM! ARGH!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'm getting tired of writing here! This is insanitas veritas! If there even is such a Latin expression! I must re-write the fact that tonight I was talking about Madonna's amazing career, my friend David's like of trashy gay bars, the deaths of Laura Branigan and L.A. anchorman Larry McCormick, the Republicans and their lies this week in New York just as the Democrats last month, and other shit which now I am quickly forgetting thanks to my blood pressure going up here! Okay. Take a deep breath and...okay. There. Better. I think. I sure as hell am gonna copy and paste to Microsoft Word from now on, lest my precious hard thought words get obliterated in the two seconds it takes for the page to move on once I decide to publish this. It is bloody awful to lose one's hard work so quickly. Does that apply to virginity? ALLRIGHT! ENOUGH HORSING AROUND THERE TOBAR. "Ooooooooooooooooo, you got to just, move to the music!"

ARGH! I AM LIVID! LIVID!!! DAMN YOU!

I just wrote a kick-ass blog and it was deleted! I COULD SCREAM! I ranted and raved about Madonna, me being a loser at home on Saturday night, the deaths of Laura Branigan and L.A. anchorman Larry McCormick, the Lotto being worth 100 million tonight, my aunt and cousin in Mexico having fun, my uncontrollable sex drive, my friend David always taking me to trashy gay bars to laugh at people, and some other issues which I can't remember anymore. Oh yeah, the Republicans in New York for their week of lying to the people as did the Democrats already. Okay, I feel better now. All my beautiful words, all my writing that I put so much effort into, got deleted by accident as I was about to post my last blog. Oh well, no point in crying over a dead terrorist. LOLOLOL! Wait a minute, that's a cause for celebration! I'm looking fuller everyone says. Not as skinny anymore. AHEM. I like hearing that! Finally my head doesn't look like it's being supported on a redwood treelike body! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you got to just, move to the music! That was the title of my deleted log, which I had to re-write for Madonna's sake. Okay, over and out, till next time, GOD WILLING.

ANOTHER COLD OR IS IT WEST NILE VIRUS OR BIOTERRORISM OR MY BUILDING IS CONTAMINATED OR AM I JUST A BIG BABY?

Are those Olympic games almost done? They were cool at first, now they're just dragging. Anywho...work is hard. Lots and lots to do. UGH! And petty stoopid people that I have to work with. DAMN! What can I do? Gots to make a living and pay the bills, and save money for my upcoming EMPIRE! BOOHOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! I SHALL RULE THE WORLD! I hear Lotto tonight is worth 75 million here in California! I should go buy a ticket but my head hurts after a week or so of this supposed cold and cough. The coughing is the worst. My head feels like it's gonna burst, my back muscle is close to torn from coughing and in pain, and I can't sing! PHLEGM and all it's mighty evil! DAMN YOU TO HELL! My sex life is dead, but my drive is still alive thank God. I still crave it healthily. Thank God for PALMela HANDerson and her many miraculous positions. I dunno, I'm physically weak perhaps, not enough vitamins, under too much stress, or this building is full of cooties...either from the people I work with or the vents. As is, we have a warning sign a la your local gas station that our building may cause cancer from some of the chemicals in here! CAN U BELIEVE THAT SHIT?!! I'm working in freakin' Chernobyl! I thought that was from all the Armeyneeans I already work with, but this shit is more serious than I first surmised! My junior high girl best bud moved to San Diego! That is too weird. I'm so used to having her here in Southern CA, although for a time she did try the Bay Area, but came back after that stint. Hmmm...here's hoping she does well down there with all those MEXICANS. But then again, she is Mexican. Well what do ya know! HA! My mom has calmed down a bit, she thinks I'm more worthy of existence after proving to her I am not the CHEAP JEW she claims I am. And no, I am not anti-semitic. Or racist. I just happen to have real twisted crude humour folks. It's in my blood. This is a mighty good way of killing time, waiting for my work time to wind down. So damn quiet in here now. All the non-English-speaking foreigners whom I work with have practically gone home, and here is li'l ole' Native me, typing such controversial lines away! My cough does feel better damnit. That ginger tea does wonders I do believe. Now I gotta go lie down and rid myself of this headache to hopefully muster enough energy to go to the gym. THE LAZINESS BEGINS...

LET THE GAMES CONTINUE AS MY LIFE STALLS

The Olympic Games 2004! WOOHOO! Incredible to watch these talented young people time and time again. Such perfect bodies, such discipline, such grace! Lots of hotties man! NBC does an incredible job covering the games too, despite the obvious tape delay. HEEHEE! Here I am at work yet again. BORING! I'd rather be in Athens, Greece frankly, or anywhere else but here, but alas, I must earn the money that'll pay the bills, that'll also pay for my upcoming vacation plans. I may be going to Memphis, Tennessee next month to check it out for a few days, and of course, New Orleans for New Year's as I did last year. What a blast that was. My good buddy David showed me around and was very fun to hang out with as usual. I'm very lucky to have met him. And Johnny C. too of course. Here's hoping all three of us can create quite a storm in LA NOUVELLE ORLEANS to end 2004 with a bang, and from us, that'll be literally with a bang or two. Or three. All depends on our hormone levels. HAHA! My aunt has flown in from El Salvador, my cousin (her daughter now a resident alien) is staying with us and her mom for the time being, so there's lots of activity at mee house to say the least. The floors in the dining and living room plus the walls got re-done so it looks nice and clean and fresh. My mother is impossible to deal with now, she wants things her way and done when she says, OI VEY! GOD GRAND ME PATIENCE! I'm a grown man living with his mother. How uncool is that? I love mee mom, but sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't really just be on my own and stop being so damn caring about leaving her to be. If my aunt were to finally live here permanently, it'd be easier for me to move out and go my own way to be honest. That way I'd have my own place, be my own boss at home, and do whatever the hell I wanted to. Maybe have a small doggy. Independence sounds great, but it's so effin' expensive too! This is the debate an 18 year-old should be having, not someone as old as me! YEESH! "MOTHER OH GOD, BLOOD, MOTHER, MOTHER!" Thanks Norman Bates for that memorable, yet disturbing quote. And I am now officially three weeks celibate. I feel so much cleaner, in control, and quite frustrated at times. So it goes...

Democrats in Boston while I'm within these four walls

So I'm reading that bloggers are a big part of the delegates at the Democratic National Convention this time around?! AND I WASN'T INVITED OR EVEN CONSIDERED???!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!! Anyway, the only reason to be in Boston right now would be to see the city and its sights, including all those hot college boys. Ahem. It's sad really, 'cause from what I heard on talk radio, most people in this country don't give a rat's ass about what's going on at the convention, people are just plain sick, tired, and too busy to deal with all this political shit. It doesn't really mean much to most anymore, as it once truly did, thanks to so much freakin' corruption. Can you blame the American people? And HOW IN THA HELL DID THAT FAT NASTY MICHAEL MOORE BECOME SO DAMN UBIQUITOUS ALL OF A SUDDEN??!! HE IS SO ANNOYING! His 15 minutes of fame are really starting to get on my nerves. So he hates Bush, BIG DEAL! MOST PEOPLE DO! LOLOLOLOLOL! I don't really hate Bush, but I don't like him really, and I don't know if Kerry is any better. I guess I'll try and stay awake and watch him give his speech tonight as he shines those pearly whites and adds some charisma to his dry personality. SHOOT, I GOTTA RUN, time to leave work! SEACREST...OUT!

Eating Cheetos

So it's Friday folks. I'm hanging out at home and not AT WORK! WOOHOO! YEAH! Eating junk food, when maybe I should I be at the gym. But hell, I went yesterday and worked out really really good. I'll go tomorrow. YEAH RIGHT! It's so hard to go to the gym. It really is. It takes enormous discipline. I'm glad I'm not fat, just a slight pot belly and some muscles to add on to my naturally lean frame! I'm listening to some classic Simon & Garfunkel. Man, music really meant something in those days, what the freakin' hell happened? The evils of commercialism! My neighbor loves it when I play my stereo real loud, says it takes him back to when he was a young lad in Havana, Cuba and had to secretly listen to his radio since the government didn't allow rebellious music such as that of the Beatles, Led Zepellin, or even Simon and G to be played! Isn't that unbelievable? Well, what am I gonna do with myself today, other than just waste time? Who knows, who cares. It's good to be alive. It sure as hell is.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Well, I capitulated to my friend David's demands to go out last night and enjoy my birthday, and alas, I had a blast, allergy/cold and all! I missed Bingo at one of our favorite watering holes but we ended up going to another one of our frequent hangouts and acted sillier than children! Cupcakes in our faces, arm wrestling, and stripper included! My work week is short, in that I have asked for a few days off in honor of my birthday, which again was yesterday. I'm gonna have a nice long weekend, with no set plans. I don't know yet what I'm gonna do with myself. Organize my house? YEAH RIGHT! Sleep? FER SURE! Surf the net? PROBABLY! Go to the beach? THAT SOUNDS COOL. Play and relax with my thoughts? SOUNDS KINKY! I showed my co-workers Diane, Lord William, and Jesus of Cuevasneth my pic from my blog and they all thought it was kinda gay, yet cool. It is kinda gay. BUT IT IS COOL! So what's wrong with gay marriage man? HUH? YOU GOT A PROBLEM WIT DAT??!!! So when's the heat over? GEEZ! Southern Cali is supposed to be nice, not oppressive! Anyway, gots to run, I'm spending way too much time here at work now, gotta go home and hear my beloved mother nag me somehow.

It's here! Dear God! I'm 30 years old!

I never thought I'd reach this day! My 30th freakin' birthday! It feels so surreal! So odd! Must be the allergy/cold I'm fighting as well, but besides that, I always felt so young, so invincible, and now it is all hitting me! I was born in 1974, with Nixon almost out of office, Vietnam winding down, and the oil crisis getting worse. Hmmm...not much has changed! LOLOLOLOLOL! Alas, the world has gotten better in many respects, but worse in so many others. I am grateful to be alive. Life is difficult. Yes indeedy oh. Ti's a great adventure however, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I thank God for the opportunity to be on this incredible planet, to share my life with other cool decent people, animals, and to learn from those dastardly souls who teach us a bit about how not to be or act. Terrorism, and its constant threat consumes my mind daily as does politics. Wow! When I was 20 or so, I really didn't care about this crap, now I try to be as informed a citizen as possible. Sex, musique, laughter, food, and sleep are wonderful! Life is worth living thanks to these great pleasures folks! Well, what can I say, as long as I have my mental, emotional, and physical health, I am a great winner indeed. 30! WOW! Can't get over this amazing fact. It'll take me another week or so to recover...
