*CAUSE AND EFFECT...
Is there a statute of limitations on blaming your parents for your own problems? Some age---20, or 30, or 35, or 45---at which you have to say "OK, it's not my alcoholic mother, or my abusive father, or any other kind of Oprah dysfunctional-family cliche that made my life the fucked-up mess it is, but just me"? Why not always blame...

I brought two new cats home today from the animal shelter. Whether this will mean more or less SGing for me is yet to be determined; I guess it depends on whether they will sit quietly in my lap while I'm on the computer, or try to get onto the keyboard (what my wife calls "accessing the secret kitty web sites"). I read somewhere about...

I am so glad to hear about the new life (lives!) in the house. They can only bring you more comfort. Love.

Best thing that's happened to me lately: Liz Phair's show Tuesday night.
Worst thing that's happened to me lately: My cat dying Wednesday night.

I call on you to cease this kitty mourning and return to update your journal! We're worried here, and I need more people who like Blade Runner around so I can cryptically quote lines in my comments:
Home again, home again,
Jiggety Jig!
Home again, home again,
Jiggety Jig!

Had my first banh mi (aka "Cali sandwich") today. Pretty good. I could take it or leave it. I think you have to really like cilantro to appreciate them...
Holy shit! Hazel at the Meow Meow on Valentine's Day!

I didn't go. Guess I'll have to grit my teeth and face up to this decade after all.

My parents knew I was a hell raiser and got me involved in sports at an early age. As a kid, you cant get in much trouble when you are going to practice every other day and have games on the weekends and are sent off to sports camps during the summer. It wasnt till after my fathers death that I realized that I was living my life according to my parents expectations and resented the pressure placed on me to achieve sports and academic excellence. I really wasnt a happy person and was doing destructive stuff in a misguided attempt to achieve the perception of some control. It wasnt till after my mother died that I realized how counterproductive my actions were and how much it must have pained my parents to watch their son do stupid stuff.
Just kidding.
Hey it's 4:20. Time to give complete strangers hugs and bond with your favorite comfort food!
Oh, look Pringles...
