Not ready to age gracefully

I knew intellectually this time would come, eventually. I always thought that I'd be mature about it, accepting my fate with some dignity and perhaps a bit a levity. Actually, that's a flat lie. I was depressed most of my teenage years, and never really thought I'd live to see drinking age, let alone twenty-three. It didn't really hit me that I was going to have a full-fledged adulthood until I was standing there in the sun with my BA in hand and wondered, "Well f**K. Now what?" So worrying abou

New stuff has come to light

Hi there, everyone. I haven't been insanely post-whoring lately, and I even lost some creds as a proofreader; but since November 1st, this has been quite a roller-coaster ride.   I never discussed this here, and only told two people I think, though reading Krista's, Sharon's or Steve's blogs, I'm definitely not alone.   My mom died on November 9th. She was diagnosed with breast cancer right before Christmas 2001. At that time, she was 55, walked and trekked a lot, worked too... I'll sum it

A Sad But Happy Story!

So i was checking my email and got this from work, it was sooo touching that i want to share it with you guys <3 Just remember the below is not my work at all. And is a true story...     We all know or knew someone like this!!   One day, when I was a freshman in high school,   I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.   His name was Kyle.   It looked like he was carrying all of his books.   I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday

Full of angst

I had one of those "oblivion" thoughts yesterday. I don't know if you have them, but they kind of go like this:   "Religion is good because it keeps the masses in line. If most people did not have religion, they might come to the realization that life doesn't make a bit of sense. We're all pretty much like a herd of gnus. We plod through our lives according to society's plan and then die. Everyting we were, everything we did, everything we might have thought, everything of us dies, comes to an

A character

I had a rather...bitchy rant posted here up until a few minutes ago, but I've decided to nuke it. It wasn't particularly healing or necessary.   Instead, I'm going to introduce y'all to one of the characters floating about in my head. His name is Missouri Weeks. Mo for short. He's a bit of a loser, in that he sort of drifts through life in a happy daze most of the time. He is, in other words, what my mother calls a space cadet, only sometimes touching down on earth before his mind is off on an

121.9 in Madera

Okay, I'll admit right up front I'm trying to lose a little weight. Heck, I've been trying to lose a little weight since I don't remember when, probably around the time my nickname was "Tubby" and I figured out the other kids weren't trying to be nice.   So, my latest ploy at losing weight is to do it metrically. Using kg's I only have to go down 21.9. Using good ol' avoidupois, I need to drop over 40 and that's a lot to drop. Plus when losing kg's a little goes a long way.   I broke the 122

Richard Jeni, JFK, Red Hair and Weeds Finale stuff

Forgot to put this into the last post which was about politics (thus this part is like, Politics II). Funny and true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhw8DFSGzvg   I was going to put up another vid of Richard Jeni, but for some reason it is not working. So, if you want, look up "richard jeni gay baby" on youtube. Very funny.   And Now, For A Public Service Announcement:   "The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically o

My Niece

Hey,   So it's been pretty shitty around here this week. My sister had her baby, a little girl she named Linda Ann, after our Mum. She was born at 1:30am on Saturday and fought for her life for one hour ten minutes before her strength gave in.   I don't really know what I feel right now.   How is it fair that she didn't even get the chance to start her life let alone live it? How is it fair that my sister and her husband are left feeling the greatest loss there is?   It's simply not

Hello Again

Hehe, I like philosophy class. I especially like the way baptists gang rape logic and philosophers pretend to be experts in the other sciences. I have also decided that philosophy is probably the most useless waste of brain power possible. There is absolutely no realm within philosophy anymore other than ethics; almost all of the other major questions they pose can be answered by one of the other sciences with concrete evidence, as opposed to shaky inductive arguments.   Don't even get me

Happiness reins in an errant soul

Okay, so you didn't get to vote. Maybe you should've sent a comment like Old Bob. If you've got any complaints, send them his way.   No, I'm not going to change the title every month, but I might do it annually.   I'm still riding a euphoric high right now, so enjoy this happy mood while you can.   I'm working very hard on the Kevin project. The words are coming together and if all goes according to plan (i.e., I don't have a setback on the depression front, etc.) Kevin should be ready to

Small Town Gay Bar

My sister is somewhat of a Kevin Smith freak. In fact Kevin Smith is the only person that she would screw on personality alone, or so she claims. Anyhow, after the disasterous screening of Fred Claus (two snaps down, wayyyyyy down) with Viv, my sister suggested we watch this DVD she rented from Netflix called Small Town Gay Bar. It was pretty interesting, and reminds some of us in more liberal populations of the fight that is still out there.   in fact my sister posed the comment, "I didn't kn

It's easier to make promises than it is to keep them... STILL!

For the love of good golly god and all the little children dont see Fred Claus!   Need I say more?   I can, but I feel dumberer now having watched it.   And why did they show a tomboy with a bat but not a fabulous *snap* boy with a hoola hoop?   So yeah BAD MOVIE ask Viv, (who for the record chose said movie cause she didn't want to see Saw IV or Beowulf (which sounded awesome)) look at me rock the double perenthi ....

Blah

Things have been good but bad at the same time lately. I just got a f**king speeding ticket for going 88 in a 60. It was bound to happen sooner or later with how I speed, but it still pisses me off! Oh well... that's what defensive driving is for.   I would write more but the boyfriend is getting pissy that I'm still online.   Joe (Who HATES cops with a f**king passion!)

Do I need to change?

As I was driving back from Portland today I thought about changing the title of this blog.   When I first started this, I took the title from my LiveJournal blog, which has suffered significantly from a general lack of entries since this was begun. So, I was thinking maybe I could actually have two blogs if they were named differently.   So, I came up with a few ideas and thought, "Why not give my readers a chance to influence my generally obstinate mental processes?"   I don't have to cha

100

Well, I gone and done it this time.   I saw that Graeme was celebrating his 17th anniversary and, of course, I had to congratulate him. Seventeen years is quite an accomplishment. (I don't exactly remember number 17, but I'm sure we had fun. We'll be doing number 34 this year. Can you imagine living with the same person for 34 years?)   Well, that post put me over the hump.   I've been worried I wouldn't hit 100 posts before my 1st anniversary here, but Graeme did it to me. Now, I suppose

Weed to Home

I'm home sitting on the bed in pajamas with my laptop on my lap and cute, little Bonita beside me sleeping, playing, cleaning, or simply ignoring me. Pets are like that. They'll give you all their love, but it's on their terms. Dogs are better than cats, though. At least they don't give you a hair ball every few days. There's nothing like the sound of a retching cat.   Yesterday morning, I was waking up in Weed, CA. I like Weed. It's small town America in the mountains. Last Saturday when I dr

Blond Ambition

Well, how else would I commemorate a new path for my life than by getting a make over? Shortly after writing my last blog I got my hair restyled and dyed. I went for a shorter, messier style and a fairly flashy blond. I got my brows waxed and dyed as well, and hit up a few of my favourite shops for some new outfits. I also started the lastest round of teeth whitening products, and restructured my skin care regimen. Shallow and vail I know, but all in all I'm very pleased with the results.

Falling off the Grid

I am to visit my parents over the next couple of days, which are my "weekend" days this week. My mother in particular has been asking when I'm coming up for several weeks now, so I decided to just say, "the hell with it" and make the drive, which is about seven hours, one way. I know I don't visit them often enough, but it's a lot harder to break away from my obligations than it was a couple years ago. My job was through my college's housing department, so when I had no school, I had no work (an
