Turkey Day and All That
So, Thanksgiving is around the corner and yeah, I know that I now have, and have usually always had, something to be happy about. I think anyone living in America that has a place to live and doesn't fear for their life on a daily basis has no place to complain.

So give thanks for life, good friends and the chance to make tomorrow a better day than today. Yeah, life can suck sometimes. Back in my emo-ier days (before emo even really existed) I would say I'm full of shit right now. But while today might suck and your life may be in a rut or whatever, just be thankful for a chance the next day to make your life better. Don't waste that chance.

So.......I need a date
So, my company's "winter solstice" party is happening on December 2nd and I am, for the moment, dateless. Not that I need a date (I went stag last year) but a date would be good. I'm keeping my eyes peeled in the meantime.

But if any of you have any single (not a requirement), cool, friendly female friends (or you want to go yourself) that like nice, funny, smart guys and want to go to a nice hotel that has an open bar all night, drop me a line. That's right OPEN BAR BITCHES It's a prohibition era get together so there's even an excuse to get a new costume. Which reminds me, I need to start working on mine.

Stand Up
Much love to Subrosa and Necia for showing up for my standup on Saturday. They were the ONLY ones....bastards. But that's ok I didn't make a big deal about it and post it anywhere ineresting, so my fault. I thought it was a good show. I was supposed to get 7 minutes, I think I got more like 9, so for a while there I was going on fumes and adlibbing just to keep going. I hope no one noticed.

I like stand up, perhaps soon (next few years) I'll get paid to do a show somewhere. That'd be cool.

Going back home
I always enjoy going back home, but the urban sprawl of the Austin area makes me sad each year. Each year there is more unnecessary construction of more fucking HEBs and Walmarts. Each year it gets more polluted.. Each year there are Californians (and others) infiltrating my great state and destroying the wildlife and things that made that area so great. I wish I had the power to stop it, but I don't have nearly enough money to buy up all the land in Texas. I dislike humanity, why can't we all pile into 30 cities the size of NYC all across the globe and leave the rest of the land to be farm land or just belong to nature. I just really hate people who move to suburbs/the country to have more land/more peace and then bitch about stuff being too far away. Then more businesses come their way and the urban sprawl starts over again. Fuck that, if you want to be near "stuff" live in the fucking city. Live right downtown and shut the fuck up.

But, I will enjoy tex mex, a real steak for once, blue bell ice cream and some home cooking. Maybe I should try to go to the A&M game, I haven't been to one in years (over a decade). Urg, every year about this time, I start thinking about all the what-ifs in life and do some reflection. It's usually a bit of a downer.

Love is an insatiable black hole.
Feeding off my mind
and off my soul.
