a super-cool linus quote

"we have not succeeded in answering all of our problems. indeed, we often feel we have not completely answered any of them. for the answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. and in some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a much higher level, and about much more important things."

me likey egg foo young

the title says it all = )

what a to-be busy week! i'm in a training class all day today, all day tomorrow, wednesday morning, thursday morning, and friday morning. giving me a total of only about 1 1/2 days of actual time to work... which may not be any different than normal, it's just that for the other 3 1/2 days i'll be doing something other than surfing the internet and blogging.

just kidding, yes, i work.

anyway - good weekend, good thanksgiving, good church services, good liquor, good shows, good sex. yes, i lost my virginity this weekend. and no... not to a woman... awe hell... who am i kidding, i'm no virgin = )

anyway, i must go, class starts in about 15 minutes or so and i need to jot some things down before moving on...

many thanks

as i'm getting more and more excited to go home tonight and decorate my tree i've made myself stop and think about what tomorrow is... thanksgiving... not christmas. = )

anyway - i wanted to take this moment to send a great big hug to all my friends, tangible and non-tangible. i've learned a lot in the last few years and one of the biggest things is the importance of family. i've also learned the importance of creating a family of your own outside of the nuclear family.

and that is who you all are.

without you i wouldn't have a place to laugh, be silly, cry, bitch, moan, share my crazy stories, and get my ever-so-needed support in tough times. without you i'd go crazier than i already am, and without you i'd probably still be in ruts that i formed years ago and were lovingly lifted out of by some of you. you truly are my support and my confidence when times are shitty, and you seriously bring me hope and honest-to-goodness love of life with every interraction i have with you, whether it's in person, by phone, over email, or even a short comment on my blog from an unknown person i may never hear from again.

so in this season, ever so sappy as it is, i say thank you for being my friends.

now go get laid.

welcome to quaziland, population 5

over luch today i was talking politics w/ friends and got fed up. "lets start our own country," i found myself saying. "see, that way, instead of politicians, we can all be gods!!!"

thats when all went to a very childish-hell in an easter basket.

i now introduce the fruits of our labor... quaziland.

hunky dorey

the fam is gone and i have my apartment back to myself again. *sigh*

the weekend was absolutly fantastic. just a rollercoaster of fun and stress, but always fulfilling at the end. the time w/ the sista's was great, the dinner on saturday was yummy, the show on saturday nite turned out great, and the shopping on sunday was non-bank-breaking!!!

now it's christmas for me and my household!!! i can't wait to begin decorating tonight, how fun!!! yay!!!

i'll have a holy spirit on the rocks with a twist of jesus

as i type i'm in the student lounge at north central university, and not the good north central that you're thinking of. currently i'm at my sister's college patiently waiting for my three sisters to get their asses down from my sister's dorm room.

actually it's not that bad, there's a really fucking hot guy standing next to me... he's wearing jeans a HOT long-sleeved teeshirt and a hat, he's actually really really cute in that i'm-a-conservative-christian-college-student type of way = )

maybe waiting for my sisters to come down from my sister's gals-only dorm room isn't that bad...

*evil grin*

those conservative-christian-college-guys are actually pretty easy to sack... these places are a haven for fags... hell, it's in bible college that i first had sex with a man... and then another, and another, and another... man... those were the days.

*sigh*

i complain so much lately about not getting any... maybe i should go back to bible college.

now i know how my mom feels

i think i finally know what my mother goes through every year in preparation for thanksgiving dinner an festivities.

i have food to buy, food to prep, an apartment to clean, supplies to buy, towels to wash, pillows to fluff, a table to set and prep, a meal blessing to put together, two cats to deal with, and lots of wine to drink.

she's an amazing woman and i plan on being the same way this weekend... a FABULOUS woman who organizes a FABULOUS thanksgiving dinner!!!

i'm being used.

my sister calls me today and says that i need to meet someone.

the someone is her new manager at work (also my other sister's manager at work... yeah, they both work at the same place). anyway, her new manager is supposedly an ass hole to them, oh, and gay too. they want me to meet him because, in my sister's words, "you're really cute, i mean, everyone thinks so... all the girls... all the guys... so, we were hoping you'd meet him (manager-fag) and that he'd like you cause, well, you're cute. you see, then if he saw what we (sister-bitches) had a cute, gay brother, well, then... he'd like us!"

oh, how nice = ) i'm being used for my queen-dom = )

ah yes...

did you all hear the sigh of relief? yes, i went to verizon last night. i walked right up to their kiosk at the mall and told them they were fucking losers and reamed them and ripped them a new asshole... well, actually, i whined until they gave me a new phone for super cheap = )

so folks, i got my SCH-a670 back and am happier than ever. for a moment there i thought i was going to lose it forever and have to deal with a cheap-o for another 2 years, but no... they happily replaced my "water damaged" phone with a new one at an amazingly low price - i wish i could say it was cause the guy had the hots for me, but i think it really was because i put on my puppydog face and pouted my way to cell-phonian-bliss = )

*huge sigh*

and the java keeps rollin' in...

fuck verizon

yeah, fuck verizon wireless those bastards. turns out that my phone has "water damage"... it was piss too you silly shits! so anyway, water damage is an insurance thing... did i get offered insurance on my phone??? well, i don't think i did... but of course, i could also be so worked up right now that i may be just thinking that i didn't... awe fuckidy-fuck-fuck-fuck.

so now i have to get a new phone, with no special discounts, and no special anything. i'm fucking furious. looks like it'll be a nice CHEAP phone... goddammit.

fuck those fucking fuckers.

may your shit jump out of the toiletbowl and eat you whole from the ass up...

ouch

i'm sore. and not in the good way. in the bad way.

the show went absolutly amazing this weekend. we had a super-cool opening night with tons of people there. the rehearsals all day were exhausting, my calves hurt, i have bruised knees, and lost about 20 lbs in sweat... but how fun for a super cool opening night!!!

oh, and i met a boy *blush* his name is ross and he's really really cute. and really really nice. we talked a bit on saturday and then i went over to his place for movies last night. we'll see where it goes, but it's cool none the less = )

oh, and i dropped my fucking cell phone in the toilet last night. i was in mid conversation too. how fucking irritating. *slumph* looks like i'll be heading out to the store after work to reap on the blessings of a warranty = )

1. der's only one god, ya know.
2. don't make dat fish on yur mantle an idol.

yay!!!

the cheap and tawdry sideshow is on the bryant lake bowl website!!!

check us out and come see our show, dammit!!!

huh...

i really don't have anything to talk about today. huh, doesn't happen often.

lets see, work is still busy, i'm still getting ready for my show, and tonight is my only night free until next monday. hey! thats something to talk about! nah. not really.

frustration though... one of my favorite blogs is down right now... how am i ever to know how things are going for the fags in utah!?!?! *sigh* in need a break.

oh god...

i'm a slut. take the test yourself by clicking on the pic... then be sure to let me know your personal score = )

1096 and counting...

yes folks, it's that season again. the season of giving, the season of singing, the season of shopping, the season of eating, and the season of telling tom that he needs to settle down for a second and turn down that fucking christmas music!!!

yay - 1,096 hours till christmas!!! 45 days for those of you who are less hard-core. 1 month for you boring people.

lets see... i've begun my shopping/creating, i think i'm doing alright w/ the gift thing. the thanksgiving holiday has been figured out and christmas never needs figuring out... you always go home for the holidays. lessee, got the silver polished and the decorations are being planned and modified in my head. the parties are being set and dates are almost solidified... hmmm, am i missing anything? oh yeah, the tree... need to figure out how i'm doing that with two cats this year, we'll see - i'm sure that'll be a few blogs along = )

any suggestions people?

butt plugg

last night was my friend bob's annual birthday party at christos. it's always a fun time with a neverending flow of wine and gay jokes. my only problem is that greek food just doesn't agree with me.

i've been going to this annual b-day party for four years now... and every time i get home from one i'm wishing i had eaten lighter or differently - yes, my butt just doesn't like me.

koto sto phyllo is what i had last night. an AMAZING mixture of chicken, spinich, feta, all wrapped, yes, in phyllo. it was so yummy i just loved it, but by the time the meal was over i had the... well... oopah's coming out of my shish-ke-bob if you know what i mean. oi.

do i care though? obviously not, i go back year after year and yell and scream and say i can't WAIT for next year... some things are just worth the pain = )

wisdom from within

my new security blanket is the blue moon coffee shop just over the river and a few blocks from my place. i go there to relax, to smoke out on their patio, to read on the grungy couches, i went there to hide on election night, and i went there last night to mourn. i guess mourning wasn't the only thing i was doing, i was escaping... again. escaping the drudgery of the democrats - escaping the fear and loathing - escaping the doomsday-ers - and escaping the negativity.

"is this any way to move on" i asked myself. "sure, i'm mourning myself, but i can't mourn forever... i mean, bush is going to mobilize and get going beginning tomorrow, why shouldn't i???"

and then i decided i needed a change... but what?

i consulted my oracle cards. say what you may, they've give me ass-loads of wisdom in the last few months.

i announced my request: "what do i do now?" and said my blessing: "green man, lord of nature, protector of the trees. give me the gift of your wisdom and the strength of your presence... guide my hands as i turn the leaves of your sacred oracle." and then i layed out three cards.

card 1 - scotts pine - as the pine tree stands above the rest, be so yourself. climb that tree and get a look at the whole picture of your situation. weigh the pros and cons, understand the full scope of what's going on around you.

card 2 - birch - the birch tree is the first to bloom in the spring and that's where you are right now: at a new beginning. for new beginnings rooted in the positive result in endings that are the same.

card 3 - gorse - gorse spreads like wild fire through the fields during all seasons. use your imagination and that firey drive to move forward in your endevours and never stop.

say what you may, but i was deeply moved by the message in the cards. my conclusion is as follows:

we are in a dark time, people hate people and divisions are deeper than ever before. there's a light at the end of the tunnel though, two terms are the limit. though we're technically continuing a cycle, we're logically coming down the hill... we're 1/2 way there. take this new beginning, as dark as it seems, and embrace it with love and excitement for even more drastic change in the future. remember, a good beginning results in a good end. karma is more real than ever. and now let our driving force be our love for our country, our love for our fellow man, and our love for democracy and truth... let THESE drive us, rather than fear and hatred, and we'll find ourselves more victorious than any other party, candidate, or law could ever hope to be.

move on america... change is on the way... don't give up hope.

*namaste*

solemn reflections

this, my friends, is not a man of god.

1) a man of god is not arrogant in his spirituality, standing in the streets loudly proclaiming to the world 'god is on my side' and 'god speaks through me'. a man of god humbly prays in the darkness for forgivness and favor to be shown on him and that he'd have the strength to do the same to his fellow man.

2) a man of god does not destroy his planet. he does not encourage others to waste natural (and naturally dwindling) resources. he does not destroy god's beautiful forests, plains, waters, and animals. a man of god does everything he can to preserve god's beautiful green creation.

3) a man of god does not try to exault himself over others by diminishing the rights of his fellow man. a man of god respects all kinds of people respecting that god created every one of them for a reason.

4) a man of god does not kill others relentlessly. a man of god loves and lives for life.

folks... if you truly believe that this man stands for what is true and holy in your god... then your god is not very true nor holy.

from the mouths of babes

on sunday i was out w/ my wonderful friend, andy. being an 11 year old, andy has a way with his words. sometimes gut-wrenchingly funny and sometimes eerily true but always interesting. case in point, check out his most memorable quote of the day on sunday.

"you know... neither [presidential] candidate is that good. i mean, if george bush gets elected, we'll all die. if john kerry gets elected, we'll all die too, just with better healthcare."

from the mouths of babes people... from the mouths of babes.

VOTE TODAY GODDAMMIT!!!

weekend update

it started with a horror flick night w/ my friend jess. on saturday i went out to the humane society and got me another cat! alma is a GORGEOUS lynx-pointragdoll and has the most wonderful temperment and personality. and gus seems to be getting along with her really well too!!!

saturday nite was a crazy time. my first halloween party in years, and thanx to gary to for putting it all together. booze and costumes and a dj that was not only amazing but WAY cute and new friends - how perfect of an evening. oh, and w/ a time change in the middle, it was a party-rrrrrrs dream come true.

sunday i did church, a rehearsal, and then off to trick-or-treat w/ andy my ex-neighbor boy. i hadn't done that in years and ended up having a super time.

what a wonderful weekend!!!
