I fucking hate mother's day. I shouldn't, but I do. I used to be a giant wreck for days. Now, I think I'm fine, right up to the last second, and then I fall apart. I know she's in a better place. I know she's watching over me. But I can't see her, can't say hello to her, can't hug her, can't do anything. And that sucks.
And every year, another friend experiences the same thing. It's not as fresh for me, so I try to council and console, and be grown up and make things better.
And true, it's not as bad as the year before, but then it comes down to today, and it is still terrible, and I don't know if I'm telling the truth to my friends or not.
I just know it hurts. I wish I could see her for at least a minute more and hug her and tell her good-bye one more time .... but I will never get that chance.

Earthquake woke me up at 4am. Took a couple hours to get back to sleep. No major damage reported, although I did see a crack in the floor of the lobby of my building that I didn't notice before.
How do you tell a girl "Hey, guess what? I'm not interested, so please stop trying because it's getting embarrassing for you, me, and all our friends?" without causing drama in your social circle?
Oh, and there are two of them that need to hear this message.

I haven't had full-time employment since somewhere around the end of July, maybe early August
I just got hired as the head chef at a hotel in West Hollywood, where, 3 years ago, I was the sous chef.
It's about damn time.

What a show! Frank Black, David J and Kevin Haskins, Tenacious D, Kim Shattuck, Weird Al Yankovic, Flea, Ok GO, She Wants Revenge, I was blown away. What an amazing night of music!
Ok it's been over a month since I bothered updating here ... I think this website has run its course for me. Thinking about canceling my sub. Comments?
Katrinaversary. 4 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall at New Orleans, and it's still all messed up down there. Don't forget ... there's still work to be done fixing things up.
