my grandmother, one of my favorite people, died this morning. she'd been in the hospital and wasn't enjoying it. i visited her yday and she was very at peace with her situation. i only hope that i go out with the calm and dignity that she did.
enjoy being alive. |

i didn't realize how many great albums came out this past year, but i credit them in part for keeping me alive and sane (ish). there probably isn't anything on here that you don't know about, if you pay attention to current music at all, but i like making lists so deal with it. if you don't agree with me, feel free to comment and tell me how wrong i am. or if i missed something you think i would enjoy let me know about that too.

my girlfriend and i just found out that we're biologically brother and sister, so we broke up.
it's very sad but she's gonna do really well and that's the silver lining.
i'm leaving for the hollow earth entrance in Ft. Myers, FL at dawn. i don't know what kind of wireless connection i can get there, but i might be around.

an old farmer's mule fell into and got stuck in a well. try as he might, the farmer couldn't get it out. after many frustrated attempts, he decided the mule wasn't worth saving, so he set about burying it alive in the well. everytime a shovel-full of dirt landed on the mule, the mule would shake it off and step up on it. eventually the mule, on a mountain of dirt, simply stepped out of the well. |

i'm so busy i don't even have time to go to work some days.
i hate playing live but the new band is pretty good;
there's only one something missing in my life that keeps me from reaching happyness potential. which sucks, but that's probably better than alot of people are doing. |

i'm starting to come to terms with the neverending supply of WTF there is in my life, and just how much of it is of my own creation.
it's an incredibly humbling good thing about a bad thing.

since yday, i have this strange pain swelling thing going on, from underneath my left ear all the way down to my jaw curve.
it's fucked up how visibly swollen it is, but it only hurts when i touch it.
i don't feel any pain inside my mouth, but it doesnt exacly feel like a lymph node thing either, unless one of my lymphs up and esploded.
hoping i can hold onto my wisdom teeth and tonsils for the time being.
i never get physically hurt, so this is more than mildly annoying.
i probably just have a bacterial infection or cat scratch fever.
whos got the black market amoxicillan for me?
pain pills?
blind diagnosis?
get well soon card?
-
also, my cat has suddenly decided to pull out all the hair on one of its legs. anyone? |
