Goodbye n8tvegrl. You will be missed. Life's too short. In a related story, my sister is dying of liver disease. Take care of yourselves people. You only get one shot at things here.

I remember a Saturday back in '91 when I had just woken up at my Dad's place. I, with my PJs on dashed downstairs and excitedly turned on MTV and smelled teen spirit for the first time....
Fifteen years past his death, I wonder where'd we'd be with him and where we'd have been without him. I guess the point though is really that we...

Crazy...
that is totally one of those things
where I won't remember exactly where
I was...but...I remember how I felt.
As many times as you can look back
at your teen years and
do the head slap for being so stupid, emo, whatever
this wasn't one, for me.
I had a falling out with one of my best friends
and we called each other to be consoled.
We made up and kind of
grieved.
Crazy to think how someone
you never met
affects you so much.
Your last point is so poignant...

Sometimes i feel like i'm really, really good at pretending. And it sucks.
Six months cigarettes free.
Laos was awesome. Go there before it's too late people.
My money's worth two thirds of what it was last year at this time....less than two thirds actually. At least i have a job and i like it for the most part.
I don't know what else to...

I'm sitting here in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand about to head into Laos. The Steelers won the Superbowl in spectacular fashion. I found the ONE book i was looking for in Thailand to read on my trip. Life's pretty sweet right now.
I just finished the book Fastfood Nation and i must say that if I weren't a veggie already, i'd certainly be one after...

have a fun vacation. I've been reading a book about someone who goes to Korea to teach and it made me think of you

Hello again, sir.
How goes life, etc?

*With tears in my eyes...* It's over. IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!
Now that the Bush presidency is nearing it's end and the "Legacy Tour" is over, i have an observation: If your self-touted greatest achievement as leader of the world's most powerful nation is that you kept us safe from a diabetic living in a cave, that's pretty fucking pathetic.
pip:
But it''s actually pretty impressive considering who's greatest achievement it is. If you grade on the curve, he's not giving himself enough credit.
norritt:
yeah that's true
*Holiday Rant Coming*
So, I went out today to pay some bills and go to my employers mailroom (most of us here have our packages delivered to the office mailroom as it's much easier). I noticed once again there was nothing for me there. The last time i got something from home in the mail was around mid august and my birthday is mid july....

That really sucks. 
pip:
A very fitting quote. For me it's more about hitting back. I did the "keep standing" thing for a long time fulfilling, and that is not fulfilling or rewarding at all. So to me fighting back is what it is all about.
America, Fuck Yeah!
In other news...i can't figure out this new layout and i wonder why every time there's a new design here, they make it harder and harder to figure read your friend's blogs. Fuck. I realize I don't comment much, but i still read.

Happy Holidays! 
rickroyal:
Indeed. I remember a layout (many many moons ago it seems) that was elegant and very easy to use; not to mention it required very few resources. Now there's flash everywhere, and I am having trouble doing the things I remembered doing with ease.
I suppose this is what the passage of time feels like.

Tomorrow marks 5 weeks without a cigarette. Not. one. single. one. It will also mark 5 weeks without a drink. I'm stopping drinking while i'm quitting smoking because smokes and booze is like milk and cookies.
Things i've noticed...
>Without that social lubricant, i'm not even the social moth i was before. Must figure out how to be socialize sober.
>I'm sorry to have smoked...

At the rate things are going, whoever wins the election may be President of rubble. I'm not sure what the world will be like when this works itself out--however long that takes--but in the mean time, i'm sure we can console ourselves with the hope of some awesome music and great art which seems to be inspired by catastrophucks.
nicolelee:
Actually, yes. If you can, send me a photo of the... the photo. If its possible, can I send you my mailing address and PayPal you the cost of the mag and shipping so that you can send me the actual mag?
In an effort to quit smoking, i've also stopped drinking. I'm using Wellbutrin to help me out and it works wonders.
BUT, i've discovered that i'm much more interesting, fun, happy, personable, sociable, and tolerant of people being a jackass when i'm drunk.
QUESTION: Is this a good or bad thing? Fucked if i know....

had a rough spell
for a minute.
Expect 5.10ish to be another one.
Fuck those
Hallmark days.
Getting by though.
Thanks for asking.
I can totally relate
to the distance thing.
Hopefully the internet
keeps things distant
until I REALLY want
to cope with them.

It sounds to me like your sister and my brother are a lot alike. I've just been waiting to get "the call" about him for years now. I hope you and your sis get to mend those fences.
Thanks for the compliment on the new poster. I've been in thebusiness for the better part of a decade now and that's my first feature, lol. Things are going well, I guess. I'm just now making my return after having been out for the past few months due to an injury and work. Thanks for asking.
How goes things in your part of the world?
