So, in less than 24 hours I will be waving my glass wildly, exchanging messy kisses with friends and strangers alike, and ignoring my own limits for alcohol consumption. There's no pretending that it won't happen, but hopefully, because I am piss-broke, things can't get too out of control. How much fun can you have on 20 dollars? Work is going all right, and my crush is starting to turn into a decent friendship, but I am simply confused about men. Period. Maybe he's confused about ...

Okay, I've never been much for keeping track on my blog as far as numbers go. I am pretty aware of the number of articles that I write only because it's posted on the top right hand corner, but I really haven't taken a look to see where I'm at as far as the Top Twenty goes. I do remember a time when I was like 15 or so. Briefly. But that was sometime last March. And after taking a look at where I'm sitting at right now, I was pretty surprised. I dropped down to 61. SIXTY-ONE!! I don...

Like the end of a special effects laden film, the day after Christmas is pure devastation. A bomb has hit, and it's going to take weeks to bring it all under control again. Christmas was both good and bad, as my Christmas's usually are. No room here to bitch, but all in all, it went all right. My girl got a lot of pink stuff from the grandparents, and a lot of music-related items from me. I was pleased with what I was given: a new Jet cd, the last Gunslinger book, socks (ahhhh socks ...

I think I got my last blog to finally display a picture of me and my girl. Pros and Cons? It's the biggest picture evah. Both Kole and I, at this angle have the biggest double chins! Ho Ho Ho! It's the biggest picture evah. Thanks, Greywar. I checked out the site. Merry Christmas everyone.

Pour the champagne and raise your glasses... ...for this is my first full year at Joeuser. Yes, I started my blog a year ago, at approximately the same time that I am writing this one, and I'm happy to report that this is my 242nd article. And for the first time, I think I've managed to get a working link to a picture of me and my girl. I feel kinda odd about posting my picture; I've been meaning to do it for some time, but have never gotten around to it. I remember seeing my f...

Great big mounds of fluffy, pristine snowflakes. .....Followed by rain, ice, more snow, more rain, more ice, and so on, and so on and so on.... I don't know how the hell I am going to get to work, but if I miss today's scheduled shift, I think there's some impact on holiday pay. Blah... I have been anxiously waiting to hear each and every radiocast, so that the second they close down public transit, I can call in without remorse. Anyway, what a crazy, busy, exhilia...

I haven't even started Christmas shopping, yet. Nothing. Not one damned thing. I am a great procrastinator, and I'm a very bad Christmas shopper. I always leave it until the last second and then I give myself a near heart attack racing around town trying to purchase everything, all the right things. This year is going to be no different. I don't get paid until the 24th. That's when my Christmas holidays start. It is going to be bloody awful, but I do know exactly what I am gettin...

I have a twin sister. Not many in town, at least those that I hang out with, even know that she's my sister, we're that different. Cool enough. Now, while I'm not claiming celebrity status, I remember a time when everybody knew her name, and I was known as the shy one. When did it all change? When did she become the responsible sister, the one who prioritized and excised self-control? At what point did my daily habits change from a carefree nature to wanton behavior? But there are not ...

I've actually offered my babysitting services this evening, just so that I can get some time to write. I've got the station set to 'The Flintstones' and have given both girls a handful of marshmallows and a cup of lukewarm hot chocolate. It is in blissful silence that I write. Well, 'silence' as far as a four year old and a six year old are concerned... I guess because the year is winding down, and everybody seems to be talking about sex lately, it's been making me think about what I ha...

I need more time to do nothing... Or at least, I need more time to blog. Haven't produced anything since sometime last week. Don't really have much time to do so now, except to say that I do see a lot of blogging action in my future. Considering it's the only action that I will probably see in 2004, it will have to suffice. I have a day off on Tuesday, and unless I am crazy enough, or desparate enough to work overtime, I am gonna spend it blogging! Until then, blog on everyone.

I don't know if it's because I've been watching too much of The X-Files, Alias, and The Matrix, or if it's because I've had to listen and watch audio and screenshots of me at work, but lately I feel that everybody is watching me. Maybe, too, it's because I've been too much in my head this weekend, spending more time thinking and writing, that is doing me in. Long conversations with friends as apposed to faceless clientele, is something that I've been lacking. People seem so random to me...

I've got a whole day of nothing. I'm just doing some laundry, drinking some coffee and smoking rez-cigarettes. I've been trying to word out my current issues, but it's not going so well. Rather, my issues are the same as always, so what's the point of writing it out anyway? In no particular order, this is the lowdown: 1) I am currently estranged from my sister. I've gotten to the point where I am fucking sick of our relationship. UP, DOWN, repeat. I can feel the bitterness in the...

I loooove Sundays. Not being the religious type, I do have my rituals. Today: Wake up, turn the radio on. Get the book from the bedside table. Read a couple of chapters. Get up. Go to the bathroom and start reading my other book by the roll holder. Go into the kitchen. Make some breakfast. (usually toast and dippy eggs) Warm up the car. Hunt for loose change. Go to the coffee shop and get an XL double double. Pick up Kole. Go to the bookstore. Go for another coffee. Hang downtown. ...

I've been trying to blog for the past 2o minutes, with no success. I've started and stopped various articles about music, love, and life in general and have ended up deleting all. I'm just in that mood where nothing much is happening, where my inspiration suddenly dies, justlikethat. Basically, all is well in my universe. Nothing is perfect, but not all is bad. Simply put, I'm having an ordinary day. Nothing much to write about, so, I guess, this is the reason why blogging has bee...

It's the start of the weekend for everyone else, but not for me. Happy Tuesday, I suppose, and I can't wait until it's Friday in my universe. Strike that: I can't wait until Saturday. I've spent the last 2 days at work helping people download free holiday ringtones, suspend their phones because they left them on the train/airplane/bus/cab/etc., and try to figure out not-so-complex billing issues. Pay your damned bill, easy-peasy. Seriously, I'll be the first person to admit that I am ...
