as much as i like watching football, i hate the fact that nike has used my favorite track from Last of the Mohicans soundtrack in an ad. i have super-fond memories of looooooong make-out / bed-cuddle times with my second-ever girlfriend whilst those strings played in the background. kinda a very heroic and romantic soundtrack to swap spit by, me thinks.

So, this kidney stone thing. As far as I'm aware it still has not passed. From what most guys I've talked to at work have told me, I'll KNOW when it passes. However, some of the literature says that it may break down into this "sandy" state and come out a little easier. My fingers are crossed.

Yay!!! i got a job, albeit not the ideal situation, at least i wont be eating my socks over the next few months. theres's nothing like hitting the ground running, getting hired at 1pm the day before the first day. i'm pretty thankful for the opportunity, now i just gotta figure out what exactly i'm supposed to be doing and find a way to "get...

If I were reincarnated as any animal, I'd be a polar bear. Even though the humans are screwin' up my habitat, the realization that I could crush the holy hell outta 'em with a swat of my paw would keep me content.

Art in the Pearl wasn't as impressive to me as in years past. However, there was a ceramics artist and a glass artist...

another principal called out of the blue to see if i was interested in a position, one called sunday too. tomorrow i'll check 'em out and see if they're something i could go for.

tears again from an Extreme Make-over Home Edition show on sunday; again- a young person dying too soon, leaving me once again feeling low about how relatively few people i do...

i think i'm fxxxed in the job hunt.... there is about 8 generic positions posted on the system, whereas just yesterday there were a few dozen. i was well aware that this week is typically a training/orientation week, so if it didn't happen then i'd be screwed. i had two interviews this week, one sounded awesome, but they asked me directly why i resigned my...
