Saturday Night Blues

A fair warning: If you’re sick of me feeling depressed and sorry for myself, move along, there’s nothing here for you. For the rest of you, some more insight into my madness.

Seven Resolutions for 2007

It’s that time of year where we’re past the last major holiday of the year. (For the record, I consider New Years Eve to be part of the following year, as New Years is a bookend at the beginning and the end of a year – you’re closing out the year before and opening [...]

Weight Loss Help

Current Weight: 424 lbs.Goal: 400 lbsBy: Return to work.
Well, sometimes things don’t work out the way you want to. I was hoping to have my Biggest Loser App ready for the mail tomorrow, but right now I don’t have it. There’s still a shot – more in a minute – [...]

A Letter To Santa

Dear Santa,
Wow – has it really been that long since we last talked? I think the last time you got a message from me, I was a spoiled little brat who wanted everything under the sun and even some things that were over it, too. Naturally, as is even the case now, I [...]

How I would do a Mac Media Center

For the past few months, I have been bitching about Apple’s choice – along with MicroSuck, whose DRM policies are getting to the point of needing a monetary smack from consumers – for entertainment center software and hardware. Unfortunately, bitching about something and not offering a good solution isn’t all that cool.
Understand that this [...]

My Skewed View on the world of Fashion

I hate Fashion. I hate the idea behind fashion. I hate the fact that some people are making money off of what they believe the general population should look like, and that if you go against the fashion gods, you’re a sleaze-bag scum who shouldn’t walk the earth without their head stuck up [...]

Signs of Christmas

You know, there are some good things and some bad things about this time of year. Of course, the good thing is all of the good holiday cheer, getting with family, getting gifts, and all of the fun stuff going on. The bad stuff is all the prep work, shopping, gift wrapping, fighting [...]

The Rest Of My Weekend

First, Thank you to everyone I did see over this past weekend. It’s not often I go to the movies with anyone, go to hang out with anyone, or even sit with people for long, so it was really cool to have a weekend different from normal. I did not finish my projects [...]

An Urgent Cry For Changes In Public Transportation and Responsibility in Driving.

The sad thing about this posting is that the people who need to read this the most won’t be the ones to read – rather, it will be the people who least need it that will see it. It is a compliment to my friends, yes, as many of them, for the mistakes they [...]

Leave It On The Field

Let me impart on you the one thing I consistently have the most difficulty with: Introductions. In writing stories, it’s “how do i introduce my audience, the reader, to the world in which I am trying to create?” In speeches, it’s, “How do I draw an audience in, make what I have to [...]

Some days are wasted….

Yesterday sucked.
Like Hoover-Vacuum-to-Shag-Carpet sucked.
Yes, it was THAT bad.
I should have read the signs. My robe, which has a difficult time staying closed, was trying everything it could to stay open yesterday. All of the rest of my cloths are in laundry baskets. Normally, I do my laundry in the early morning hours [...]

How to Defeat Jack Thompson

There are a few issues that, backed against a wall, I will fight hard to protect. Obviously friends and family would be strongest, and the only thing I’d kill someone or die to protect, if need be, but I hope it never has to come to that. Being able to choose how I [...]

More On The Biggest Loser And Saturday

On Sunday I posted a huge blog posting – one I really should have broke up in 3 separate listings. (I am sorry of any of you missed any of it because of it being super long.) The most important things i should have gone into more detail about, so I hope this clears things [...]

I woke up for THIS?

You know there are some days where it’s just best to stay in bed. Here’s mine for yesterday:

Not-So-Random Thoughts for December 10th, 2006

Apologies in advance if this sounds like I am a little edgy or irritated. Unfortunately, the problems irritating me just don’t seem to go away unless I complain about it.

Identity Crisis (or What’s In A Name?)

Over the past few weeks I have been talking about getting the DNA testing with my father done. During this time, I think I have only talked with a couple of people – family memebers – about any of my fears in going through with this. One of them, a most recent fear, [...]

My Set List

The Ultimate Set List
(a.k.a. If I were in a band…)
How many people have not dreamed of being up on stage as part of a band? To be able to perform in front of throngs of people, doing the songs you grew up enjoying as a kid and teenager, for the majority of the people I [...]
