till i'm off to san diego!!! i'm freakin' busy right now working on a project here at work, but it all ends around the time i leave for so-cal... so i'm totally stoked!!!
good weekend - filled with wonderful times w/ friends, fags, alcohol, singin', and cigs. what a perfect weekend!
oh, and i went to the new ikea store. i said i wouldn't go for a few months to aviod the craziness... but this silly fag only made it a mere five days. i'm too gay for my own good sometimes. but GOY is is fabu! so much traffic that the offramp was jammed, cranky suburbanite cops directing traffic, and all these people who'd never been to an ikea before going ape shit over it. PUH-leeze... where do these people come from? i've been a cult follower of ikea for years and have travelled the continent to simply touch as many stores as i could. but i admit i squeeled when i stepped in the store, i felt like mecca had come to me, one less pillar to fulfill =)
but the tourists, traffic, suburbanites, and moa crap was too much to handle. my friends and i practically ran back to our car to get out of suburbia as fast as fuckin' possible before it started turning us into androids... ahhh, thank GOD for urban centers.

Here I goooooooooo
i'm on my 3rd coffee of the day, i have my "quiet time" sign up at my desk, i have my headphones on pumping mahler into my poor quivering ear drums, and i'm ready to work...
watch out world... tom's on the loose!!!
watch out world... tom's on the loose!!!
Go figure!
so last night i get home, watch some tv, eat some food, then go to the gym. i go to bed earlier than normal and don't drink a drop of alcohol or even have a cig before going to bed.
what happens?
i wake up this morning feeling like SHIT! getting out of bed was harder than ever, i had a headache, and i desired coffee at a level i haven't experienced since college.
what have i learned from this experience?
god intended for me to get fat, booze it up, and smoke my way to oblivian.
discuss...

ok Ok OK!
people are griping... "you're not blogging enough... boo hoo... whine whine..."
well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me! maybe some people aren't working hard enough... huh!?!?
so anyway... there's not much to talk about. work is a bitch, my sister leaves for china tomorrow morning for 5 weeks, mom and dad are coming down tonight to take her to the airport and say good bye, and i'm looking at buying a house. so there... my life.
and now i've blogged, you may put away your kleenex.

Voting time!!!
ok friends and foes... i'm dying to get a piercing, i know what you're thinking 'don't you have enough' and the answer is 'NO'. god didn't put enought holes in my body, thus i must step in, along w/ st. sabrina = ) i know you're also thinking 'does he have enough money... he's always bitching about money' and the answer is a resounding 'NO'. but god didn't put enough holes in my body, thus i must step in, no matter the cost or price of pain.
some people claim god gave them the wrong sex, all i'm saying is i'm not holy enough.
voting time!!! [updated voting results are in brackets]
1) prince albert
2) barbell through the upper ear
3) surface piercing on my nape (back of neck) or right wrist
[4) tongue piercing]
[5) no piercing, needles don't belong down there... get another tatoo or dye your hair again]
Vote my friends... vote!!!

The Grandest Apologies...
yeah, so i get all my friends to be nosy on my life by reading my blog on a semi-daily basis and then i neglect to put in entries... i'll be lucky if i ever have a following again = )
excuse #1 - i'm fuckin' crazy at work. i teach and teach and teach all freakin' day long and then when i DO get back to my desk, i'm explaining to people how to do stuff that i just taught them (i'm sick of people surfing and checkin' email instead of listening in my classes) dammit!
excuse #2 - i don't have an internet connection at home... screw aol and any other isp out there, i'm not paying you ANYthing.
excuse #3 - there's no way in HELL i'm coming back into work post 5pm simply to put blog postings out there to please my friends... i'll buy you a drink at 5-8 instead *grin*
ok... now that i got that off my chest i can go back to work... i promise more blogs in the future!!!
*smooches*

What a morning...
oh what a beautiful morning... (i hate oklahoma)
facts about my life in the last few days:
- one of my best friends, and first bf, calls to tell me he bought a house w/ his beau
- my neighbor is heavily searching to buy a house and plans on taking her 10 y/o son w/ her (as opposed to leaving him w/ me)
- i depressed myself this morning while taking a poop because i realized that i go through the same routine every day
- i get to work today and find out that one of the first people i managed is leaving the company and moving to arizona
- shortly after i find out a good friend on my team is moving back to nebraska
i'm not really depressed, but i feel like i'm watching everyone else go on w/ life around me while i stand still... and although that may be exactly what i need to do right now i'm stil anxious to grow up and become an adult... any suggestions anyone?

Can anyone spare
a small strand of sanity?
consulting for 8 hours in one day is exhausting, especially if you have other work to do.
oh, anyone read savage love yet this week? i love that guy... he lives in minneapolis you know... oh, and he also ran one of my questions once. scared the hell out of me once when i submitted a personal question that i thought he'd never run and then 1 week later it was online, across the freakin' country with the most kickass response i could ever have wanted! i worship dan, not to mention the fact that he's fuckin' hot = )

Oi
do days at work ever settle down? i'm here at work with so much to do i almost can't stand it. oh, and i missed the bus and ended up getting in late ta-boot - looks like i'll be living here a bit later than usual.
on a brighter note though... i got me a man purse yesterday at the mall! technically it's an eddie bauer guide bag... but who the hell cares?!? and it was on sale... how perfect is that! now i join the ranks of men who have cast off their fears and proudly carry a purse to drag around all these stupid items we own now a days: wallets, keys, ipods, phones, cigs, flasks, porn, and pics of our kitties.

Parents...
yeah, so, interesting story from this weekend:
Backgroud: dad's a recovering alcoholic, no alcohol in over 22 years (how DOES he do it!?!).
so, we're in duluth, i grab a beer... mainly cause it's actually hot up there, also cause i just can't stand all these runner-freaks. my mom ends up guzzling 1/2 of it and announcing to dad and i that it tasted really good (dad, of course doesn't drink it). later that night, i light up my last cig on the walk home w/ the 'rents. they give the usual shpeal about smoking gonna ruin my voice... then mom says "gimme a drag of that"... after two drags, dad grabs it and takes a few puffs.
it's weird seeing your 'clean' parents drinking beer and smoking = ) hmmm...
