I was in the den of the enemy tonight, and for some reason, they had no idea. My assignment was to make a portrait of Mary Young, the founder and current president of the Aliso Viejo Women's Republican League or some such thing. She was a very friendly, 50ish woman whose life had been changed by Ronald Reagan "because he gave hope to the nation." I can respect that quite a bit. While prolly not agreeing with many of his politics, I too mourned the passing of our 40th President. But what I don't want is a stack of "Bush/Cheney 04" stickers with the advice of "be sure to put one of those on your car!" Snowballs have a better chance in Hell, dead Reagan or not.

Just signed up for Gmail, a new email service from google (thanks denny). its super cool. 1,000 megs of free space, searchable email and all sorts of cool stuff. until now, i've never seen the advantages of more than one email address but depending on how things go, this may just signal the end to my voluntary enslavement to the great blue god -- AOL. so go sign up. i think anyone can. spread the google gospel.

only 15 days later...bloggin that is. not too bad in the grand scheme of things. especially seeing as i was out of the country shitting in the desert for 9 of those days. i've been back exactly a week and i've still got baja on the brain. it was an amazing trip. a 10-12 hour drive south into the middle of nowhere. wildlife, fun, sun, and adventure. plus lots of good pictures. links to come. now the memorial day weekend has been filling my thoughts and time. followed closely by a few work issues. more to come on that, hopefully tomorrow after the Laker game. drama and politics take center stage for sure, of that you can be certain. you would think that it would be a fun-filled work day working game 5 of the western conference finals. and it will for sure, but that doesn't mean there won't be drama. it seems to fester in newspapers staffs like those other fun personality traits cynism and bitterness. joy! anyways, wish me luck. i think i'm going to need it. don't worry. i'll still have fun. :-) Friday, May 14, 2004
Nine Days. nine days in the middle of no-where with 70 high school kids, no cell phone service and spending most of the time in my teva's and swim trunks on the beach. Sound like heaven? actually it's Baja California. so pretty darn close, or so i hear anyways. i'm following a high school science field trip to Las Animas, about 9 hours south of the border. and that starts in less than fours hours. yikes. if i can tip a corona for ya, i will.

ok. so this is it. the FINAL attempt by yours truly to actually use this blog.... if i can't post at least somewhat often, i'm going to just pull the plug. best not to add to the mental trash floating around the world wide web. i think the lack of witty commentary (i wish) tumbling out of this messy room has been a by-product of fear. fear of honestly sharing my thoughts and activities. fear of reprisals at work and of causing issues with family and friends. but i say fuck all that. i remember i started this because "i felt like i need(ed) to write stuff down." that need hasn't gone away. so here we go. the final chapter. maybe it will change form someday soon. but for now, i think i just need to prove to myself that i can regain what i used to cherish about this. someplace to share my thoughts, someplace to let friends know what was going on in my life. to entertain, if only a little. but it only counts if i actually use it. here's to one last attempt....

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!! One of thsoe oh so special holidays that has very simple requirements. wear a little green and DRINK!! Me in my leprachaun induced frenzy, actually took the day off. so i'll raise a pint of the dark frothy one to all three people who actually still read this bad boy. Cheers! Tuesday, March 16, 2004
going to bed at 12:39 am. i think that's a recent record for early.... whats the matter with me??? :-) Friday, March 12, 2004
Been up since 7:15 a.m. Worked a full, actually busy day, [filled with an 87-year-old retiring crossing guard and a street re-naming ceremony that actually had emotional impact on my life] then headed to the fantabulous Wiltern Theater. Beautiful place. I wish I could post photos.... a very fun night. A little stress, but a very fun filled night with great music and good times. It has since turned into an insomniac driven flurry of efficiency -- home decorating at 4 am on little sleep is not always advised. A mini date palm and fuzzy yellow cactus later, I had made only a minor mess. I do think I may have had a few small revelations during the 5 hour flurry, so maybe the lack of sleep will be worth it. Hence the crazy part. Remember, insomnia plus rational thought while slightly inebriated isn't the easiest things to accomplish. That's why I write every thing down. I think if someone ever finds all my to-do lists, they will certainly reveal the slight insanity, the neurotic bubbling deep inside. Good night. Friday, March 05, 2004
i just found a $287 check in a pile of papers on my floor.... is this yet another sign i need to be a little more organized?? me thinks so. "As a rapper, I show up late, smoke weed and do what the f--- I want, 'cause I'm the boss..." -- SNOOP DOGG Wednesday, March 03, 2004
i just locked myself out of my entry way at 9:30 in the morning wearing nothing but my white GAP robe. was loading up the girlfriends car with stuff and just accidentally let the door swing close. luckily, i had to suffer just a tiny embarrassment, asking the restaurant manager downstairs to let me up. he was fun, saying "don't you look silly walking around in your robe!, at least you're not naked!" if only he knew..... ;-) does this story justify giving the girlfriend a key to the downstairs gate??? if only for convienance's sake? still mulling that one over like a fine wine... |
