remember those summers when you were younger? when you were in elementary school and junior high? when you didn't have to get a summer job? when the only thing you had to do was sleep in and wake up and eat rice crispies and watch your favorite shows? days spent running through the sprinklers and playing hop scotch...chasing the ice cream man and buying one...

Movie that changed my life: Libertarias
Book: Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky
The distributor for Exhumed is based out of New York, so it will have VHS and DVD distribution in the US, but no theatrical release, unless some kind soul decides to organize a showing themselves. There will be a theatrical showing in my town, but that's about it.

why is reading and writing nothing to some people and so much to me? i consider doing either of the two as doing something, as therapy, as something rewarding, as something relaxing, as something i enjoy doing. i enjoy quiet time. i enjoy being alone, not constantly, no, but i do enjoy some peaceful time to myself. who am i? i don't quite feel i...

i wish i was one half of a really cute old couple. you know, like the couples that always hold hands and the husband pulls the chair out for the lady and they always have their specific things they get at specific restaurants on specific days, i heart cute old people, i hope i get to be one someday.

I've seen a lot of those old couples. They're amazing.
About being with a moody partner ... the hardest lesson I had to learn was that, even when she said I made her happy -- I didn't! She made herself happy, and because of certain ways she was thinking, she found it easier to do this when I was with her and when other circumstances matched her ideas.
It works the same for me. Nothing makes me happy; I make myself happy (or unhappy) by the way I think about it. Doesn't mean I ought to be thrilled when, for example, somebody insults me. But I have the choice. I can believe it's true and then believe it means something about me as an entire person, or I can regard it only as information about the person who said it -- and as something that may or may not be true about me in a particular situation at a specific time.
About not missing your friends, if you "should" feel bad about it, that would mean there is some universal law that says you must feel bad about it, right? But you don't. So there's no law, no "should." Only what is.
Happy Fourth!

People never cease to disapoint me with themselves. From their action to moronic comments about ordering sandwiches. As long as they're amused. 
I've finished 3 books in the past week and a half but not sure you'd enjoy them. All non-fiction military history/biography stuff. Some amazing stories really. I love history.
Keep kick'n ass on the PS2 girl.

good choice on staying! happy you're still here!
and don't worry about what people say about your dating...they always say stuff like that. sure, they're concerned and mean it out of love, but it's basically a fear of their own mortality (to oversimplfy). you dating seriously leads them down the path of; marriage, house, kids, etc... if you date a lot, no big chance of that path starting and things can remain the same. just be happy (like you are).

wow, i've been really bad about updating my journal lately. i'm really sorry. i've been so so so busy with work and chris and sleep and everything. plus there are 6 people using this one computer, so it's hard to find time to get on when no one else is. once again i'm really sorry.

i've been equally as bad about updating...maybe it's cuz it's summer...but don't worry about explaining to us...you'll get around to it
...and I hope you do return soon to SG...you will be missed
oh...and as for being creative...I've never really been "creative", at least not what I would consider it...to create something new...mostly, I copy...when I draw something, I usually am putting something I see down on paper...when i write something, i'm usually telling about something that happened...rarely do I come up with something out of my imagination...something new...so I'm "creative" in a sense...but not in the way I'd like to be

Your dog doesn't speak English? 
Nevermind, maybe I was just really wasted
Sucks having no one around to hang out with. I feel for ya. No hobby or anything you want to pick up?
Personally I'd be happy to just sit around and play games
I have too many hobbies. They drain all my money and time.

seems like everyone is writing about younger days...maybe everyone is yearning for the freedom of our youth...before "real life" set in.
your column was the summer breeze.
