B-rated dreams

What does it mean when you dream about home, but the home you dream about is a house you haven't lived in for ten years?   In keeping with earlier crack-headed dreams; I had a dream last night. It was odd in the way anyone blowing their head off is odd. I was at home and there was this strange guy there. Mid 50's stocky and bald, I don't know this person. I don't know why he was in my head last night. I surely don't know why my head decided it was prudent for him to remove his.   I think he

Bummer!

The mouse pad gave out. Nothing lasts forever. We live in an era of programmed obsolescence. Use a mouse pad on a laptop too much and it stops working. Not the pad, the switches. Switch the switches, but they still wear out.   So, I bought a replacement mouse. Its lifespan was a couple years and then it gave up the ghost and died. Not, the mouse, the cord.   Plus, the USB plug-ins on the laptop are right next to the power connection. They interfere and the monitor flashes every time the lapt

Getting some stuff done

I've had a busy little day today. I got a bunch of stuff done around the house. I went to see "I Am Legend". It was good, but weird. Interesting story concept at least.   I also got some time in with Mass Effect today. I'm looking to get more done with that tomorrow.   I did manage to focus a bit on Gay Authors today. I worked on the letter and poll I'm setting up for the end of the year.   Right now, I'm working on installing a major new program that is a beta. It is looking like i

Goal Setting:::: 2008

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish as a writer in the year 2008, and I'm pretty sure I have it all figured out.

Doing it!

Okay, I've said this before, so if you're not interested or if you're put off by my incessant whining, you're excused from reading further.   I considered commiting the ultimate sacrifice tonight.   No, I did not consider offing myself.   Get that out of your heads right now.   I'm too F**KIN' chicken to do myself in. I can't stand the thought of experiencing a nanosecond of terminal pain.   No, I considered going away for awhile.   You see, the thing is, there might be enough money

4 days off

I now have a nice 4 day weekend. I have a lot of things on my list of things to do. A lot of it is writing tasks. Keep your fingers crossed.   I will also be devoting a lot of time to playing Xbox 360. I think I will mostly be focusing on getting the rest of the achievements for Mass Effect. Though, I will also hit up a few other games.   I'm going to crash and start my day early tomorrow.

One More Day

There is just one more day this week of work. Thank God! There is so much junk food at work that you can't walk two feet without tripping over some. It's driving me crazy.   Tomorrow is the official office party. (tons more food) I spent the last two nights baking for it myself.   I will finally have some rest and relaxation time for myself this weekend. Except for wrapping the gifts, I'm home free for 3 of the next 4 days. I'm going to work on some writing and more Mass Effect gami

Been a bit

Life accelerates past the point where I can handle it.   I've been talking online a lot to a fellow Gayauthorite (hey Mike), so I assume some of the creative bleed off that this blog functions as has been satisfied in that manner. Really, I write here because I need to write, constantly, and this gives me an excuse to do so without such considerations as characterizations and plot continuity.   I work a second job now, minimum wage, but at least it gets me out of the apartment and into the w

Yikes!

Today was a long long long day.   I'm about written out, because I had to do a lot of career type things. (resume, cover letters, stuff).   So, this is short and sweet.   Catch you tomorrow.   Myr

Christmas Shopping and Star Dust

Well, it is the end of another day and time for a little stream of conciousness. I have officially completed my Christmas shopping. I hate Christmas shopping for my family because, frankly, if someone in my family wants something, they go get it. But, as I said, I'm done. I now just need to spend the evening tomorrow wrapping everything. I will also spend some time in the kitchen cooking up some gifts for some friends at work.   Stardust (and the Simpsons Movie) hit DVD today. If you hav

Back to the Shrink!

So the latest self analysis bout has begun. I've been thinking seriously about going back to see a shrink. Not for depression, oh no. I'm pretty happy these days. However...   Maybe I actually am anorexic. I don't really think I am. Yeah, sure, I'm kind of obsessive about my weight. However, given the fact that I am overweight, and have always been overweight since late childhood, I think I have a solid right to be obsessive about my weight. If I were underweight and believed I still n

Every Which Way But Loose

Well. It has been one hell of a day today. Nothing bad happened. Nothing great happened. But the day moved along fairly quickly. Getting out of the driveway this morning was a grand adventure. I had to dig my way to my car. The snow was to my knees. The snowdrifts were to my waist.   I got stuck and had to rock my car back and forth a little. Once I was lined up, I had to pretty much gun it, cross my fingers and hope for the best. The fishtales of snow streaming out of both sides of

My mother...shoot me

I had visited my folks this past weekend, staying over saturday night.   I chatted with my mom several times, and at one point she was talking about how lovely San Francisco was as she was there this past summer. She mentioned that I should go there, even made a comment about how I should move there . Okay....that's from out in left field.   Then she starts chatting about a friend of hers, someone who she went to highschool with back in the stone ages. It turns out that this woman confid

Shut your effin mouth already

Shawn is bad.   Who is Shawn? Hell if I know, but what I do know is I don't like Shawn very much; he nor his cohorts. He is just one of the millions of people world wide that think just because they have an opinion they should share it.   First of all Shawn, Shut the F@#$ up!   I get it, you think it's a sin; great the majority of the world agrees with you. Yet, who benefits from your assertions that it is a sin? You? Surely not you're straight so it shouldn't matter. The people that would

Regret for the past and fear of the future

Michelle said she was going to blog about me being an idiot last night, so I figured I'd go ahead and agree with everything she says now.   We went to the club last night after I left work extremely pissed off, and it was a lot of fun. School is mostly out and people were in town so it was pretty packed and we all had a good time. Except for the CJ part... but I didn't end up talking to him. Of course, that didn't stop Michelle from running up to him and hugging him though. Her excuse was, "We

Damn those garden pests anyway

(I should know better than to throw out offhand little things. Geeks, like magpies, are distracted by shiny things, and I'm very much a geek...)   "I'm so glad you could make it," Harold said. "I've tried everything I could think of, but my roses keep getting worse!"   "Don't worry, Mister Hargrave," said the gardener. He was wearing a green t-shirt with the 'Jake's Lawn and Garden' splashed over the left breast pocket. "I'm sure we can find out what's going on and get it taken care of."

Cheating is good

I was going to spend some time here whining about opening scenes, 'cause I hate 'em. I really, really do; they're annoying, and hard to get right, and even when I do manage a paragraph or three that doesn't suck they never go anywhere. I mean, I get as far as: Harold took a sip of his coffee as he looked out over the deck railing at the lake in front of him. The soothing warmth of the drink flowed through him as the first rays of the rising sun bathed the lake's waters in rich orange ligh

My psychiatrist hates me, movie quotes, sex and the countdown

Yes he does. He told me so. -----Well, he didnt really TELL me per say, but he wrote it down in his notes. How do you know you ask? Because I HAVE his notes. How you ask? Because I stole them! (Long story short, I took them and photocopied them. That was actually pretty short. Nevermind.) Ok he didnt say he hates me exactly he just said I'm one f**ked up nutbag and I should kill myself just to spare everyone the pain and misery of having to deal with me. -----Well, okay, he didnt really say

Shopping on Weekends... mmm

I try to avoid shopping as much as possible. On occasion though, I simply must go to the store. At times like these, I'm thankful for Wegmans. If you don't have one in your area, Wegmans is a grocery store chain here in the NY/PA/NJ area. They tend to cater to middle and upper middle class neighborhoods. They have also been consistently in the top 10 employers in the USA for the last 10 years. (including number 1). Anyway, they tend to have the higher quality teen males working for them.

Letting go of old loves

There is something that must be done before one can move on from a broken up relationship, and that is to let go. It has bothered me that now more than a month after Dwayne and I broke up, I still think about him everyday... still play through conversations in my head... I need to stop that, but to do so, I needed to understand why I was still doing it. What I came up with as an answer is that although the relationship was broken up, I was still holding on to something... it wasn't hope of getti
