A NEW DAY, AN EARLY DAWN


so here i am at work - and its only 12:30 p.m. - ugh - this is getting so old - i can't take this anymore - so my normal weekly rotation is working one weekend day a week - whic might not be bad - only that it is a whole day - 15 hours of being with the kids - and while its not that bad - ugh - i do get oh so tired of it oh so fast - being able to only go out on one weekend night is kinda shady too - i never get to do fun things on the weekends like little weekend trips - so yeah - i got up today and it was dark out this morning - i hate it - i was up at 7a.m. and went bed at 12:30a.m. - oh it is just too much for me - so.....

i have applied for a new job! - - - - yeah for me! - - - - well i applied at jackson recovery to work as an outreach worker - basically the first line of contact anyone has with jackson - someone told me it seems like a glorified secretary (if so i hope its like Secretary) but i know it is not - so oh well - but it seems a good stable job with much more room for personal growth and improvement then the job i am at now - so i am happy with that - i had an interview last tuesday and i will hopefully get a call this coming tuesday - but the woman who interviewed me told me that i was a very good canadate for the position - rock on for me!!! -

now on to other things........christmas

so i went home for christmas - man i love it - well it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be - family and friends were good ok - the only major annoyance came from my white trash cousins - its always a constant fight with them about something - hell - they just annoy me so much - but first lets start where it began -

Christmas Eve
so i got home to my parents - who only live about 30 minutes from me - at about 4:30 - well it was pretty early so i helped my mom finish making all the things to serve the family - every year my parents host a large family and friend christmas party for every they know - usually there are about 30 to 40 people - lots of food and booze and gifts - it is usually a very fun time and i love it so much - well finally some people started to show at about 6 and it just got more packed as time went on - my best friend from high school showed up with his girlfriend along with the rest of his family - this was great because he brought out a bottle of makers mark whisky with him for us to split - it was a great time - so needless to say - after half a bottle of whiskey, three glasses of wine and some jim and cokes - i was lit up like the christmas tree - and then it was someones bright idea to go out to the casino - which was kinda fun actually - but we needed to have my father drive us since all 4 of us were drunk - dad was a little learly - but i think mom wanted us out of the house - so needless to say we went and my brother won 70 bucks - in nickels! - thats a lot of nickels - so we loaded them into buckets - on the way to the bank he decided to ask me if i was gay - so since i was trashed i played the guessing game where you lead them with questions - he figured it all out and i was actually pretty impressed with the whole thing - he took it quite well - his only request was : just don't make out infront of me - done - already - i hate that shit - i would never - well after that - we just bummed around and didn't do much of anything - we wanted to save the cash - so we only got more drinks and waited for father to drive out and pick us up -
Christmas Day
so i awoke from my long winters nap to find my mother yelling at me to get up cause i have slept in and we are going to be very late to grandmothers - ugh - hangover city - not good at all - but i got through the day with a little mimosa - oh the breakfast of champions - but we opened presents at home quickly - i got a nice throwback detroit red wings jersey and also a few sweaters - they are lambswool and are so soft - they will look great over a dress shirt - {will have photos later!!!} - but after this we took off like the wind down the interstate to grandmothers house - more presents were opened there and my cousins succeeded in annoying the shit out of me in mere seconds again this year - *****fuck***** - how is it possible that two people whom i don't see more then a combined 20 hours a year - can just frustrate me to the point of wanting to stab myself in the arm with a pencil over and over again - i just don't get it at all - but i weathered the storm of insanity by sleeping about three hours of the day away - hmmm - best thing i ever did - not only did everyone leave me alone and not want to wake me up - but i relieved my hangover and felt refreshed when i awoke - we had supper at grandmothers and sat around and talked for a while - it was good - *funny though* - i never really noticed how old everyone was getting until that day - the whole family is getting so old - new kids are being born - and it was just this really strange reality check - some of these people won't be around forever - who knows when something might happen - scary thoughts really - but yeah - it was what i was thinking at the time - we left grandmothers and my brother and i drove home - it was a good christmas i think -

THE KIDS DID IT TO ME FINALLY - I HAVE A (ONE) GRAY HAIR


i blamed the kids at work for it - to which they just laughed at me and told me i shouldn't be so hard on them then - to which i responded with a laugh and a stern look - they continued to laugh at me the rest of the day and call me old man - which further solitified the notion in my head that i will never have kids of my own - but i eventually got them back by busting them and assigning some room time -

but in all actuality - its true - i have one long gray hair - actually its kinda whitish - or something inbetween - maybe a bit silvery - who knows really - its not something that stands out on its own - you have to look and see it up close - i'll point it out to you if you like - but i do reserve the right to bitch slap anyone who decides to add a non-gracious comment after it - but anyway - its bugging me a little - well because i am only 24 - and i am beginning to go gray! - eh gads !!!- i think about the genetics i have been passed - and well yeah - i maybe doomed - well my moms side of the family goes bald - and thank god i didn't get that - but my brother did and he is thining on the top now - {side note: check out this stash! he only had it for a day, pitty really} - but instead i have my fathers genetics leading my way - and in that family - guys go salt and pepper hair early - my father started at 32 and my uncle at 30 - i guess my grandfather was salt and pepper all over by 28 - yikes! - now - you think i would be starting to get a little worried by this - but in all actuality - i really don't think i care that much - i mean - it would be bad for me to go gray early - but i will not die it - i think it looks distinguishing and wise - or it will look like i am 40 - who really knows - i guess we will all just have to wait to find out -

in the mean time i have a new photo of myself to show everyone thanks to the new digital camera i have - i love it - i am really not sure why i look so sad in this photo - but i do -

on to something now that is not so fun - well the relationship with my man is going - we are talking now and having things out - i understand why he is upset and i know what i did wrong - it is all making sense to me know - only i am not sure how to go about fixing this - i don't quite know - persea....what to do to help us - i actually had a melt down last night - i am sure it was a mess to figure out what the hell i was doing - but if he is reading this - i thank him for letting me in and talking to me and i thank rebekkah and brandon for following me home -

i pray (and i really have done that recently about this - *gulp*) that everything will turn out ok - i don't like to think about my life without him in it - it scares me so much -

A CONFRONTATION AND A LOSS

so i had a small problem and said i was moody and frustrated about something and now i think i have pissed him off and made him very mad at me for something - i don't know what to do right now - i am so confused - i feel like i might have lost him now and i feel like i am going to cry - i have felt like it all day - i constantly have this feeling in my stomach that i'll never see him again and that he is going to tell me to fuck off when he sees me - but i just don't understand - i really didn't want anything bad - i was feeling bad about something - and when i told him he just told me he was crap and that he was nothing good at all - it didn't need that type of reaction - it didn't need any reaction - all it needed was a simple explenation - and instead i got a possible end - i don't want him to - i don't want him to leave me - i don't want him to go away - i want him to be with me forever - i want to wake up with him everyday like i was doing - yesterday and today - oh hell - this is the worst day i have had in a long time - i feel like i could be bad to myself later for what i have done today -


i just don't understand what the hell happened today - i just don't get it - but for the love of god if he did anything to himself - i am going to freak out and freak out good - i don't know what the hell i would do - probably cry a whole hell of a lot and get really depressed - but i don't think he would hurt himself - but then again you never know with anyone what someone will do - you just never know with anyone - cause no one ever knew with me - and i have done stupid things before - oh god i don't know why the hell i have written so much - but i have - i guess this is some sort of coping mechnism for me because i don't know what else to do - so if i write it down i feel better about it - but i don't feel better at all - i feel worse - i feel like shit and i want to die - why does this always happen with me - seriously i swear it was not that big of a problem - or even if it was a problem - i just said i was just moody cause i was wondering about something about us - and when i said what it was he said well i guess i am not good enough for you - oh god - hell - i swear it was not bad -

i just don't know what happened - i don't understand why it went this far and that it went nuts - i want cry so much - hell -






 
I AM LOST IN IT


so now i don't know what to do with myself - what i was frustrated about before - i told him and he told me he was an asshole that needed to die - something that was far over reaction for what i am talking about - hell - it is not that important - i am just wondering why - why why - i almost really don't even care - but damn - it is just frustrating - what am i supposed to do -

now he is mad and i am at a loss - what the hell do i do - what the hell do i do now - i have fucked up everything again - do i even deserve to be alive?





 
NO IS THE ANSWER I AM GETTING


frustrating - perhaps a little bit yes - i am not sure what to do anymore - in fact - i am becoming quite introspective about myself and what the hell is the problem - well yesterday a comment was made by a friend of mine - and i never really thought about it - but you know - it could be the truth -


it so could be the truth - perhaps i have gotten to fat to use a word i don't like to use - but its the truth - i have gone back up in weight - but it is nothing like what i was at - last christmas i was at 216 - and i got my weight down - through smoking, diet and exercise to a very nice 175 - but considering i am a short man - weight caries on me not very flatteringly - so yeah - i lost a lot of weight - but i still look fat - oh wel - so i am up a little bit one year later to 186 - not too bad - still 20 off my old weight - but its the truth - i am fat - hell - so i am in a gym now - running my ass of every time i am there - drinking slim fast - and taking some wonderful supplements that danny showed me about a while back - but it won't work - i know it won't - i am doomed to be fat forever -

its shit is what it is - my genetics are playing a cruel game on me now - and because of all of this i get told no - no - no - no - eh - rrrrrgggghhh - frustrated - yes - quite - it makes no sense - at frist i was thinking it had to do with the knee - but this started before the knee - about a week before the knee - so i am down to the idea that it is because i am fat and not that pretty to look at - has to be the reason - there is no other possible explenation - fuck - i am in some mood now -

A SORT OF THING


it was a rough day at work today - i had three clients and one staff puke because of the flu - its been one hell of a day - i feel gross -

but other then that - i am starting to feel a lot better - my fever broke yesterday night and everything but my cough is now gone - but i forsee that going on for some time into the future - why would it stop - i usually have coughs for a long time - but thank god that i am feeling better -

so now i have four days off - what to do with it - well i think i will go christmas shopping for one - and do some workouts and then probably sleep a whole hell of a lot - yes sir -

NO REST FOR THE LIGHTHEADED, FEVERISH, CHILLED, SORETHROATED, COUGHING SICKNESS PLAGUED BOY

if you can't tell i am sick - and not sick of something this time - i am sick - the doctor told me i have acute influenza - or in other words - prepare to have the worst 4 days of your life - but mainly now i can't sleep because i am coughing to much - - -
yes - it was predicted by my boyfriend that i would get absolutely no sleep tonight - but i tried - that is all i can say - so i am just really dazzed right now - sitting in an upright position just wishing i could fall asleep - but actually today wasnt so bad - yesterday was hell -

yesterday
woke up feeling pretty good - no major problems at all - i had a little neck and back ache - but that was it - i figured it was from a hold i did on a client a few days prior - so i left my bf's and went home to shower and get ready for work - during the shower i got this massive headache - and a cough started to come on - i blew it off right off the bat - after i got out of the shower though i felt a little dizzy and was starting to feel sick to my stomach - but it was too late for me to call in so i had to drive to work and see what they would say - when i got to work i found out all the supervisors were in a meeting and couldnt see one - my shift partner paged them numerous times to tell them i was really sick - and then just said - ok - and then i got sick - in a trash can in the living room - and my shift partner again - called but this time just demanded that i was going home cause i was throwing up and i didn't need to be here - this time they agreed - thank god for that
so i noticed that i was really weak at that point in time - so i needed a ride cause i didnt want to drive myself and end up in a ditch somewhere - so i thought to call my bf first - but he is scheduled to have knee surgery on monday so i didn't want him to get sick - so deicded to call rebekkah clitorus - but what good would that do - even if i could get her out of bed she has no car - so i called the bf and he came and took me to his doctors office - after i fended off the need to puke in the sink in the exam room the doctor told me that i have the flu and that it just set in so i would get some meds to lessen it but i had to let it run its course - so i would have to wait - so i left - felt like i was gonna pass out in the lobby and called the bf to come and get me - he is the best guy - i owe him a big dinner for this!! - i went back to my apt and my parents came up and brought me back to their house so they could watch over me - cause it just sucks to be sick and alone - so i sletp there last night and i slept a lot today - i constantly woke up all the time - but i got a lot of sleep in - but now - i am back at my apt - sick and alone - but feeling dramatically better then yesterday - but no where near 50% yet -

there is no work for me tomorrow - i can't go to work since i work with children in a confined setting - if the flu got in there it would be like the WACO compound - it would go up in seconds - so i am here tomorrow - oh well - i don't feel good enough to do anything anyway -

IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE, BUT GIVE ME SIXTY


so i WAS going to go and run in the gym tonight before i left - i mean i could use it - i was planning on going over there at 10 and running for about an hour right up untill i had to leave - and instead i am waiting in the unit because my interem shift partner for tonight told me


interem shift partner: i'll be right back i need to go to the next door unit and get some supplies real quick.

me: i wanted to go and run in the gym tonight for 1/2 and hour or so - so if you could be quick i would appreciate it.

interem shift partner: yeah sure i will just be a second.


and that was thirty minutes ago - !! 30 MINUTES !!


since when did a second turn in to oblivion - well i have pretty much kissed off going in and running tonight - so i will just sit here with my fat self and get fatter - hehe - well i am not that bad - but still i am miffed about this situation

- - - ! - - -

thank god this day and weekend is over in less then two hours - i am so tired of working - i feel like i could just scream if i get asked on more time "why can't i" - oh man - it has been a long day - speaking of long days - i was at miss llew's site today and it seems as though she has worked one hell of a day too - ugh - i understand - i understand - i don't think there is anything that anyone could do or offer me to get me to come into work tomorrow - it is beyond money and even days off now - i need a vacation from the kids - just a day is good - i just need to re-group and get my mind straigh again - bad -







 
DOUBLE HEADER

because i am incredably stupid or insanely smart - which yet i have not figured out - i have taken the entire working weekend at my job and am working it - that is roughly 30 hours our of 48 at work - oh the perrils of the office - which in my case the office is a 10 bed youth shelter - and not the fun kind of shelter either - it is a shelter for troubled kids - so more of less - i could get assulted at any moment - yeah for me -

last night i had a pretty good night - the kids were good for most of the day and and didn't have much of a problem at al - mostly it was stupid petty squabling and bickering - we had lots of tattle-tales and everyone wanted to confront someone on something - i think i even got confronted yesterday - which is not something that is not supposed to happen -

but we did have some fun - i made some latkas with acouple of the kids for super - they all thought it was very fun and somewhat amusing that we were making a traditional jewish food for super - but i also had kids who thought it was fish and would not touch it - creepy gross but - yeah - like i would cook some fish for anyone - no way - but overall the latkas were a big hit and i almost even started a grease fire - so yeah me - i am sure that would have gone over well with everyone having to evacuate for the fire - hehehe

but here i am now - today - on day two of the double header - ick - this sucks so much - i really wish i was still sleeping at the boyfriends house - it would be so much nicer to be laying next to him then to be sitting in this uncomfortable chair that i am in now - well for now i only have about 13 hours left! -

IT'S MY LIFE


so as of today - the twenty-seventh - it has been one year since i have known the boy - and i am very happy that i am still with him - that i see him - mostly everyday - and that i know me is what is for me - last night we all went out - the friends and us to the bars the night before thanksgiving -

- - - - * - - - -

about one year ago - i was home for thanksgiving with my friend christopher from ames - we decided to go out in the city and see what was going on - we went to a very lane ass house party and then we decided to go and find the bars - we headed downtown to hit 4th street but instead went to a new bar that had opened up about a month prior - as we went into the bar i looked up at the bar and saw this guy sitting there - i told christopher that the guy was amazing and that i was gonna talk to him tonight - christopher immedieatly laughed at me cause i am so introverted that i can barely talk to myself sometimes - but fate had it - a friend of the guy came over and spoke with my friend and then introduced us -

- - - - * - - - -

so last night i had something to give him - i had gone out about two weeks before and i purchesed a nice id bracelet for him and had it inscribed with the date that i had met him on the outside and some little thing on the inside - i didn't know if he would actually wear it alot - or even at all - but i wanted to get him something that was good and to show him what i think - and truthfully - i know i didn't have to get him anything - i could have just given him myself - which would be hard to wrap up in a bow i think - but none the less - he has told me before not to get him things - and yeah - i know i don't have to get him things to show i love him - but more so - i want to do it for him - i want to do it - i like to do it - i love to do it - to see him - give me the look he does - and tell me that he is gonna kick my ass for it - its all worth it - it means everything -

so last night we went out - and stoped at a whole bunch of bars in town - westside, uptown and downtown - all over the place - about 8 bars in total i think - it was good and fun - rebakkah clitorus, the boy and myself - it was cheep drinks and bar fights all around - we saw beautiful schlitz stained glass lights and listened to tammy winette singing about "standing by your man" - all in all i had a wonderful evening - even better then i had imagined it would be - but after the last bar and at 1:45 a.m. - i went with the boy back to his house and gave him what i had gotten him -

does he like it? - - - yeah i would say that he likes it - he'll probably always say i shouldn't have gotten it - but i wanted to - cause he is the best thing -

MMMMMM.....COFFEE AND COMMENTS




i received this in my email the other day and thought it was the perfect after dinner mint that i have been missing in my life -

SNOW FELL LIKE ASH FROM A BURNING HOUSE


today was a work day - yesterday was a work day - the previous five days were work days - and tomorrow is my last work day for this cycle - (except for a stupid training i must attend on tuesday) - and thank god for that - i am getting so stressed out by my kids - its not even remotely funny - i was shot by noon today - first i worked saturday to help out my manager - put in a good 7 hours - not too bad - when i let there was plunty of time for the people still there to do the logging - when i get in today - one whole book is not done - so i know some people won't understand but here it is in breif - {a log book is everything that a client does in a day in teaching notes and interdisciplanary notes - a full weekend day on one client is about 40 minutes of writing - and i had to do it on 5 clients} needless to say i was pissy with the staff from the night before - they didn't even do their jobs - it just is not necessary - pisses me off -

so i spend the first half of my day doing logging - the kids are all running around so i banish them to their rooms so i can get cought up on work - this enforth sets them off and they begin to freak out in their rooms - you'd think they were watching glitter as much as they were freakign out - so after my shift partners and i give them a little talking to about respect and common decency towards others - to which some responded - 'i do what i want - what ever' - - suddenly i am having visuals of eric cartmen from TV's South Park in a hot pink halter and fishnet stockings saying the exact same thing - i laughed so hard - but everyone has something they do at work that they are not proud of - and mine today was during goals group - which could be the most important group we do with the boys - a client said his goal was to get along with his peers and not argue - and as the group of 8 boys listens to the client quietly - i hear the title of the goal and i blurted out about three little laughs before i could muffel myself - the reason being - he argued with every single person in there today - including staff - it was too funny to me to hear the goal at that point in time - and i just started laughing - if that makes me a bad person - whatever i am a good person for even working there - yeah i'll give myself a pat on the back - hehehe -

so the day ends eventful - it was snowing like hell and blowing like hell all day - the snow has since subsided - but the wind is stull blowing like a cheep whore - so its cold as hell outside - about -5 with the windshere i think - oh bother - so i go home and try to call the boy tonight - he picks up but is out at the moment so i will stay at my house tonight - its ok - i haven't been here in sometime so it will be good for me to clean it i think - so i do clean it and pick it all up and get it nice and tidy - i go to bed here and all of a sudden at 3:30 in the morning -

beep - beep followed by a large and very loud grinding sound -

oh goody they are plowing the streets infront of the building now -

errrrr...........

hence why i started this post at 3:30 in the morning - but anyway - i think i may try to get back to sleep now - i have class tomorrow and work - again - god will it ever stop - - - -

no it won't

bring on thanksgiving break

COLD DEVIL


i have been at work for the past 14 and 1/2 hours as of now - and i am slowly going stir crazy - it sucks - i have been with nine children who are at best screaming needy little deceptive kids all day and i don't think i can take it anymore - and even on today of all days -

it was a wonderfully gloomy day outside - gray skies and dark ripples in the air - it was a beautiful mellancollic day - and i spent it inside all day - sick -











 
HERE I DREAMT I WAS AN ARCHITECT…


its been such a long time since I have written much of anything - I am slacking off a lot here and I know I should be writing more - but I just haven't the time as of late - and oh there are some stories to tell - like when I went to the south dakota state pen - and when my friend and I won the halloween costume contest - and I am sure I can think of a whole lot more things to rite about - but again - I don't have the time - and more so - there are some things I would prefer doing more then sitting around typing - I can do that anytime - well if I make time I can do that anytime - I just need to start hauling my lap top around with me instead of leaving it sitting around at home - I mean - that's what its for - moving computing - but I would prefer doing other thing - then sitting in my house typing -

more so - I would rather be in nebraska - sitting around on beige carpet watching television and being called a hooker - as it would most probably be - but that’s fine with me - cause that is where I would prefer to be - or maybe on the couch - resting with the fleece blanket with polar bears and penguins on it - watching tlc or headline news - trying to figure out what I have missed in the past week I worked - I would rather be there - in an apartment in nebraska sitting on beige carpet then anywhere else in the world -

it’s a new thing - really - wanting and knowing that I should be somewhere - somewhere else then where I am - sitting by myself alone in my apt - I should be in another apartment - not more then 10 minutes away - with someone - there is really nothing for me in my apartment - nothing here - but me - there is something for me across the river - I read and I write about it - every night - and I read it all over again -

today while I was cleaning I came upon and read my old journals - all the things in there about not being happy in ames - about being by myself - living alone and not having anyone to come home to - but also there were times when I was with someone in college and I was still unhappy - I had someone to come home to and it was not good for me - but now I know I have finally found the person I want to come home to everyday - I want to come home and find him napping in bed so I can come into the house and climb in with him - I want it all to be right - and I think that it can be right -I know it is right - its something that is completely within our reach - I keep being told every so often - that what I want is a fairy tale - that what I want is just a figment of my imagination - that having a house with a dog and having me and my boyfriend living there is not realistic - and you know - living where we live - it might not be realistic - but I am willing to give it a shot - I want to give it a shot - I do want it -

so what really has brought all this upon - I have suddenly gone and went nuts about things - well the truth of it is - I am coming up upon having known my boyfriend for one year - it will soon be one year since I fatefully met him in a bar - oh i know that sounds so seedy - meeting someone in a bar - but it is the truth - that is where we met - and since then we have gone through some troubling times - most impart to do with me and my problems of not completely fessing up with things and shading around details - I am amazed he has stayed with me this long - and I thank god that he has - most people wouldn't have put up with that shit - but he did and has - thank you for that -

things are well now - and I am looking forward for them to be like this for some time - forever hopefully - I'm looking forward to being with him - everyday I wake up all I want to do is to see him - he is the best thing I have ever found - and I hope he knows this - I love him so much -

A LOST TIME IN CAMELOT


its been sucha long time since i have done anything on here - and i want to - i have so many stories to tell and so many things to write about - experiences to share with people and i am actually doing a whole lot of not typing - but that is for good reason - because i have been busy lately with the love of my life - i have been seeing him again - and after numerous little fights - we are still ok and doing good - well here is the last one - i wanted to share it real quick so i could get it out

so we were at the bar on halloween - and i was dressed up as a dead JFK and my friend {the wonderful miss rabekkah clitorus} was my jackie - well things were going well and i was getting drunk - i had gotten there early after forgetting that i was supposed to take the mr. man out to eat that night - he was understanding but i still felt like shit about it - i had only gotten about 4 hours of sleep the night before cause i was up making the jacki-o outfit for the last 11 hours - so i was there - bloody mess and all - i had blood all over the back of my head and i looked like i had been shot in the front and exited in the back - {i will have pictures up soon} - problem was that i was running around - half drunk and not paying attention to the person i should be seeing - well it wasn't even about paying attention - i was giving no attention to him - or even really acknowledging that he was there - at one point in time i was getting pictures with all the kids i know and didn't get one with him - he sould be rightfully mad about that - and then i was chatting it up with my shift partner nicole - and didn't invite him over or introduce her to him - scared as i was though - cause i don't know what she would say - to me having a boyfriend that is - yes - i understand that she was in a gay bar and that it probably means that she is ok with it - but still i have to work with her and i want to be dead sure that everything would be fine -

we the costume contest took place and the dead JFK and Jackie costume we had on won best costume by vote of the audience - it was pretty funny - everyone was really excited and seemed to like the costumes a lot - i should hope so considering we spent so much time on them - so we split $250 bucks and i got a shirt from the bar - which considering is an x-large - i am not sure what i am going to do with it yet - after the contest we got some pictures cause the owner wanted some and i got some with other contestents and performers - i bought some drinks for the second runner up and the owner and my costume partner - and got more drunk -

so we got into a little fight there about how i was not talking to him at all - which i wasn't - i take responsability for it - i was just letting him sit - and i don't know why - we argued about a whole bunch of little things and big things - mostly why things were happening - he left and i went and got my stuff to leave - i was pretty far gone at this point in time - about 6 drinks - a car bomb - a jeager bomb - two 'unknown' shots - and two jeager shots - did me in well -

so as i go to leave and talk to the owner real quick - i get a drink - from the end of the bar - ann marie says its from your guy - i looked and said who - and she replied that it was from the him - i couldn't see him at the end of the bar - but she varafied that it was from my boyfriend - so i sent him a shot of blue island pucker back with my last butenier flower - and decided to leave -

he cought me in the parking lot - i was gonna walk home but he insisted on driving me - i didn't want him to since his car is so clean and i was oozing blood down my back - but he put me in the car and took me home - we argued a bit there and i took a shower to get the blood off - at this point in time he left to go get my car - i didn't realize this and called him and asked him where the hell he went - he said he was out - i got pissed and hung up - remember that i was drunk here - cause i was really drunk - really really drunk - so i get cleaned up and he shows up at my place - again - he puts me to bed and i am passed out -

the next morning i wake up to find him cleaning my apt and just getting my mess picked up from the other night - i felt bad - in more ways then one let me tell you - and we talked a bit - he teased me about the previous night - yes i was out of control - and yes i am paying for it now - ugh - it was not a good morning for me - but i did enjoy it that he stayed with me and took care of me at that point in time - thanks kido -

i know this is quite a hodge podge of things in this entry - its probably quite hard to read and to follow - i may try to clean it up later if i have some time - but i am going to get the pics up here soon - that is for sure -

AND WHEN THE CASKET CLOSES...WHAT REMAINS INSIDE


i would not repeat today for anything - its been a day i don't even want to remember - today i went to a funeral for a cousin of my family - we had to lay to rest their 3 month old baby - he just died one night while sleeping - it was sad - i didn't know what to say or do - everyone was just so solemn -

we first came into the church and walked up the set of tall stairs they had a display of pictures of when he was born - apparently they only had those pictures - but you can't blame them - he was only 3 months - people take photos - but who does a lot thinking i need them incase this person dies - no one does that - no one thinks that someone will die at any moment - never - so we stood and looked at the photos - all of us were silent - this is the first time i had ever know a baby to die first hand - i have heard about it before and seen it on television - but never seen it in person - next to the photo board was this shoebox size white box - truthfully - it was simple looking - nothing fancy so i really didn't think it was the coffin - but it was - at first glance - i thought - oh they didn't get the baby and there is a doll in here -

so i don't like to cry - i try not to cry alot - sometimes though i get really choked up
but something just let lose - i stared at what i thought was a doll and then it just hits me - its not a doll - its the baby -

i don't even know how to describe it - its almost beyond description - it looked so inhuman - not even close to it once being a living breathing person - it looked like plastic - like it was fake - oh god - i about lost it - i didn't know what to think - I was taken back by a flood of emotions while staring at this poor child - and it has stricken me with a new sense of urgency which persists even now -

I say this because sometimes thing can fade - an emotion - while powerful and mesmerizing at the moment can fade into obscurity in a day or so - but this ideal - this feeling - has stayed with me for a good week now - and I keep being reminded of it daily - how important it is to live life and to do the things you want - as I stared at this child - this poor - in essence - shell of tissue - I thought about all the things it will never be able to do - as in get a 1st birthday - have a tricycle - go on a date - get his drivers license - become a man - find a love - all the things that I take for granted in my pathetic life - everything that I do and not pay attention to do - this soul will not get a chance to do - there will never be a him anymore - its hard to think about - but I asked myself this question while I was starting blankly at the child

what am I doing in my life…

not so much as what is going on today, or tomorrow - but what the hell am I doing - am I doing everything that I want -

it was best said in the shawshank redemption when morgan freemans character said get busy livin or get busy dyin

guess its my time to die -

...AND NOTHING TURNED ITSELF INTO SOMETHING


the more i sit here and think the more i feel like i am going to be sick - i don't know what going on anymore - i saw him last night - i went to his place and i sat outside his partio door till i was freezing and then i went and got some coffee - all while doing homework mind you - when i had gotten back he was just pullin in so i went in with him and asked him if i could do my work here cause i didn't know any libraries in town - dumb excuse - but it was actually my real excuse - and he said he didn't care - so i did work - he cleaned - and then i had a huge heart to heart with him - i told him everything that i always tell him - and i think i found a reason - he thinks i am gonna leave him - so why get anymore invested - why wait for it to happen when you can nip it in the but now - before it gets big and ugly - and i am sitting here now with a man i want to call my boyfriend telling him i havn't even looked at another person and he is telling me - well incause you do - maybe i'll end this now - i tried hard not to cry at his house last night - cause that is the last thing he would want me to do - but i don't know what i have to do anymore to get through to him - i pretent like it doesn't hurt and it does - he thinks i am going to leave him and run away - when he is the only reason i am here - oh hell - if there was some way of me showing him my complete and total devotion to him i would - he is the best thing in my life and the last thing i ever want to be with - and here i am - alone - not with the best thing in my life - cause he thinks i am a cheater - aside from some past behaviors i have done nothing now to warrent this reaction - yet here i am now -

A CREATIVE WAY OF DROWNING YOURSELF


i have issues

but if you are just figuring that out and you have been reading this for a while then you need to buy a clue somewhere - really there is no need for me to tell anyone that i have issues cause everyone should know that i have giant issues - and i do -

but lately there has been me and the issue - and i can't do anything about the issue - so instead of me sitting around and worrying about it - i am out drinking - and heavily i might add - while i know this is stupid - and that i really is of no help to me and my present situation - the only thing that i can say is that i never mean to get drunk - but it always happens -

take last night for example - so i was going to watch romy and michelles with a friend - and we decieded to get some food and drinks too - so i pick out a nice bottle of chianti gabianno and intended to drink about half of it and have a relaxing evening - so as i am sitting around watching the movie i drink about half the bottle quickly - not so good for me - cause then i wanted more - so i get persuaded into doing shots of rupelminze with my friend - double shots - about three total - so then i am done in - but continue to finish my bottle of wine

i felt like hell last night - the room was spinning and everything was not fun - it was a very bad evening for me - well - i take that back - it was fun - but did not turn out the way i intended it too -

perhaps i need some help

SAT AROUND DOING NOTHING


i went out to eat tonight - called the man and asked him if he wanted to come out and join me - basically i wanted to watch the cubies beat the marlins on a large screen TV - to bad the cubs lost though - but anyway - so i got a pizza and a pitcher - usual fare - nothing different - and i sat - and i ate - and i sat and i drank - and i sat - and i sat there alone -

its my own fault for not actually getting a hold of him and leaving a message on his voice mail - i should have known better - and now i am stupid for doing this tonight - thinking that if i left a message he might show up - its my own damn fault i sat there for as long as i did and got drunk off the pitcher -

and damn the cubs lost!!

PLEASE ADMINISTER 100MG PRN DAILY


so of all things to come - i have been medacating myself lately very heavily - well - medication in terms of drinks - and well maybe some other things - but who cares - i'm sad a the moment and so i am just finding a very inappropriate way to deal with it - in all actuality - i should be understanding of this - cause it has happened before - but it always tares me up inside when it happens - mainly cause i think everytime - this is it - this is the last one - i'll never see him again - and who knows when that will happen - but to say the least i have been drinking a lot again - and doing stupid things in the process - but i remain true to him - i will wait for him - hoping that he will someday talk to me again -

but i try to not think about it all - and its hard - i am not starting my week off from work - and i would especially want to spend it with him - but here i am - not with him - because of..... - well i am not sure the reason - he thinks i am cheating on him with someone else - which is further from the case - i don't even want anyone else - all i want it so sit with him on the floor - me behind him - propped up on the couch and him sitting in front of me laying back on me - watching afternoon television - my arms around him - there doesn't even have to be any speaking - cause sometimes silence is speaks volumes - i would love to have this happen - it is a dream - as so many other things were dreams with him and he slowly turned them into a reality for me - as i tried to do for him -

but i have gotten to close and now i am pushed away - but what am i to do now - i really don't know - i try so hard all the time to get through to him that he has nothing to worry aout cause he is the best thing that has happened to me - but it never works - i am not sure if there is anything i could do to show him - but it is the truth - he is all i want and i would be the luckiest man in the world if i could be with him for the rest of my life - he knows this - and i think he thinks the same thing - but then there it is again......

fear

it keeps us back - it always stands in the way - the fear of me not coming back - my fear of losing him - our fears - they are always there and they will probably always will be there -

but it doesn't matter

i will wait for him no matter now long i have to - and you know this -

OBSTACLE #1


i love fall - mainly because it seems to be the dying season and i have always liked the way things just creep down to a small hault - life goes on - but it is barely noticed by someone who isn't looking ever so close - the trees fall and they appear to die in the wind - but they live on to see another day - it is only the little accessories that die and fall away - they leave the main parts to flourish and grow in the fall sun - but enough about the things like that - and on to something worth while -


so i am in trouble - well i think i am in trouble - truth is i really don't know what is going on right now - but my boyfriend won't speak to me - well atleast i call him my boyfriend - i hope he sees of me the same way - we have had a many of wonderful weeks here as of late - but i went away on a littl vacation last friday through sunday and now he won't speak to me - and i am feeling like he wants me out of his life - i really don't know what to think - i can't get phone calls - he won't answer and he wont speak to me - so really i guess that i don't know what to think - but i have tried to settle things - if i wouldn't have left would things be like they are now? -

if i wouldn't have left would things be like they are now?

i find it hard to get an answer to this question and i really don't know what to think - i dont get calls anymore - i think i am alone again - althought - he said once that he sees us haveing a fight and then getting back together again - constantly - for as long as we want to do it - so i hope - i really hope that we will - i love him - and i hate that we are apart right now - especially cause i think that we should be together - for all things certian - i love him - and i know that he has feelings for me - i wish we could be together now - i want to be with him - i want to go to bed knowing that he is beside me - sleeping and that i am there for him - if he needs me or wants me - that i am there beside him - maybe i am asking too much - but i hope not - but right now there is something in the way - an obstacle if you will - something is stoppiong me from him - and letting me atleast be around what i want i would like to know what it is - for i sit around everyday thinking i have killed my life that i want - and i don't know what i did -

GET OUT OF MY WAY FLEA BAG


so there is a girl in my building who has a dog - the catch is that it is strictly forbiden by management to have a pet in the building - because it is such a new building they want to wait for humans to make it disgusting before animals do - if you get cought with an animal in the building you get a one month notice to get the fuck out - strict but fair i guess - we have all been warned - but i digress back to the story... -

so here she is walking by my door as i am locking up with a pug - an ugly lookin pug at that - it's head was huge and it had a little itty bitty waist - it reminded me of one of those weightlifters that has such a huge upper body and a small waste that he might break apart in the middle - well yeah - it was an ugly dog - the lady stops when she sees me and then continues to walk - i have seen her before - i believe she is a nurse - i've arived home at the same time as her before and she was wearing an all white uniform - eh....whatever - well the dog is running all over the hallway - i turned and walked with her towards the elevator - it wasn't nearly ten seconds before she blurted out -

"this is my mothers dog you know"

- as if i really even care whose dog it is - well i don't respond so that must mean that she needs to keep talking - cause she does!!! -

i used to have a dog like this one but mine was more musclar and he had a better coat"

- again - why does she talk - so this time i just laughed at that comment cause i wasn't really sure what to say - when we got to the elevator she stands infront of the vator and the dog runds around the corner of the wall and starts to pee on the wall - of course at this i began to laugh histarically - the woman becomes angry at the pug and pulls on its leash knocking the dog onto the ground as its peeing which causes it to pee onto the floor and wall - i couldn't stop laughing - and then the elevator opens - we both walked into seperate sides of the elevator with me still chuckling - her on the right and me on the left - and then she opens her mouth again -

her : this dog is so strange it never listens! just this morning it was standing infront of a school bus barking at it like the bus was gonna hurt it. and the other day when we were driving when i stopped at a stop sign it jumped out the window and nearly hung itself cause i had the leash tied up in the car.
me : maybe its retarded
*long uncomfortable silence as she stares at me until we reach the ground floor*
her :come on mugsey lets go, your not dumb at all. *in a very huffy way*

so yeah i am making friends - but really i didn't even think and maybe its retarded just flew out of my mouth - but god damn it - its the truth that dog was retarded - and probably her a little bit too -

WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN

well the title implies doom and problems - and yes that is what happened - well last tuesday i was down at home on the farm - its only a short jaunt from where i live in the city - anyway - my car was down getting serviced at the local aamaco and i was in the shower - well my parents decided to go and pick up my car for me cause if the aamaco closes i would have to wait till the next day to get my keys - well my mother drives my car home and she apparently decides that she wants to tidy up the car or something and pick some things up - who really knows what she was thinking - but anyway - she finds and reads a postcard i was going to send to the #1 man back when we were having some problems and fighting - i guess as she said that she thought it was a postcard from my friend sarah - whom i have discussed candidly in thus journal before - but it was not to or from her - and my mother learned something that day that i think she was not ready for - or was she....

she cornered me in the kitchen and flat out asked me - so i want to know if you are dating "#1 man" (of course she said his name, but i will not) - and then she added - it would be stupid of you to lie since i found this postcard in your car describing some arguements you guys were having and that you hope that you both can work them out - so then i just said - yes - i am gay and i really do not care what people think about it - if you wish to pass judgement then you can - others have in the past and i guess it will just have to be that way - but she only said that she didn't care and that it was not important -

wow

not important

in a sense it is important - cause things will be different at family gatherings and seasonal things - forever will her perceptions and dreams of a typical american family will be gone - but she didn't care -

now i had heard coming out horror stories from guys - mothers who won't quit crying and screaming "oh god what did i do wrong?" or worse parents telling their children to "get the fuck out" - so i was ready for something truely horrendous - but instead - i got complience and acceptence - nothing was wrong - and that was the best part -

.....ah......but now i have to put up with questions such as...

"how long have you known?"
"were you going to tell us?"
"so do you still like girls?"
"are you dating someone now?"
"will i ever have grandchildren"
"are you having sex with someone?"
"are you having safe sex?"

... its so wonderful to speak with your parents about sex - at that point in time i wished i could have been anywhere else - anywhere!! - all in all it was a tiring little discussion and one that i will not ever want to make again - everyone else can just find out from someone else - like the part in waynes world - she tells one person - they tell one person - and they tell one person - and on - and on - and on -

on second thought that might be a bad idea - who only knows what small town gossip will do to a story like that - god - i'd probably end up hearing that someone at the local beauty salon said i was a transsexual that likes leather and has webed feat - anyone who has ever lived in a small town knows what i mean
but i consider myself lucky - it could have been worse.......

THE FOG


so tonight due to the weather being such a moody little fuck - it is exceptionally foggy - really foggy - foggy to the point where i can look out my 5th story window and not see the street beneath me -

now that is fog

but i must also add that it is pretty damn cool - because it is the city the whole air is filled with this muted orange glow from the street lights around town - and lights come out of nowhere and are followed by mysterious cars driving out of the mist -

its a very david lynch movie out side -

think mulholland drive and lost highway looking - very preceptually stunning but creepy and mysterious - so therefore i am drawn to it - i was staring out the window for the longest time while my pizza rolls were cooking - just looking at the civilization moving about - but enough about the insanity of me -

death cab for cutie and belle and sebastian releases

yup folks you heard it here - new records from death cab and belle and sebastian - not to mention a DVD form belle and sebastian also - oh lucky stars - october will be the best month ever - i can not wait - i simple can't -

THE RAIN FALLS GENTLY TAPPING SLIGHTLY RAPPING AGAINST MY WINDOW PANE


its been one of those days for the past two days

kinda a strange day where you never want to get out of bed or even wake up for the most part - where the best thing is a soft comforter and a warm body next to you -

its been this way for the past two days................and i am loving every minute of it -

unfortunatly i do not have any of my fun sweaters up here of anything that is slightly fall resembling - i dug out one of my least favorite dress shirts to day to wear - it made it feel a bit more like fall but really nothing major yet - its still a bit to early for my favorite season to begin - and i can't wait -

so now i am just sitting around in my room watching the rain fall on my 5th story windwon - its weird beign able to look out and see the whole top of a town and watch the rain fall and not see it land - usually i am on the ground and you see the destination - but tonight i am not seeing the final destination - i am only watching the journey - ..............ugh..............to much thinking -

2 + 2 = 5


last weekend i embarked on a monumentous journey to milwalkie to see radiohead - a cronical of what went on during that trip -


8/22/03

i left my house at about 3 in the afternoon cause my friend would not be off work till 6 and i was not about to get stuck in minneapolis rush hour traffic - so i decided to leave late - well i did leave late and to my surprise i had a very long drive - usually it is only about 4 & 1/2 to 5 hours drive time - but it took me almost six hours to get up there - mainly because of two reasons:
(1) the stupid dead woman driving the extra large lincoln town car that had, count them, 15 cars backed up behind her on a one lane road - there was no place to go - and out of the front 5 cars three were semis and they were not passing - in a 55mph speed limit area - we were topping off at 40mph - i wanted to kill someone - i now know the true meaning of the word road rage - but i collected my thoughts - put bright eyes in the cd player and just laid back - it finally passed after about 40 minutes - the lady actually just pulled off to the side of the road and let everyone pass her - how nice was that -
(2)for the longest time i had an unmarked car following me - then passing me - then slowing down so i would pass it - and then it would pass me - and this kept up for some time - i am not sure if he was just not really paying attention or if he was trying to get me to screw up -
so i finally got up there and i changed into something proper and the girls (joyce and sarah) and i went out to eat at La Bogada - yup this is my new favorite resturant - it is a tapas bar and it is amazing - i love it so much - so this time i had the cooked chicken with dijon mustard sause and the potatos with a garlic dijon sause - lots of dijon here - but it was down right delicious - if recamend this place to anyone - we eventually get back home and go to sleep with much anticipation of the next day -


8/23/03

so sarah and i get up around 8 and get ready to take our trip to milwalkie - at this point in time we are in minneapolis - so we leave town at about 9 and begin heading out to wisconsen - sarah is driving first - but we soon have to pull over so i can take the wheel of the civic because she is getting sleepy and had dozed off i guess at the wheel - which is so not good - lord knows how she goes to work everyday at 6:30 - i don't get it at all - so i drove the majority of the way there with only a few minor stops for food and hokey postcards that i got for the kids - i hope they enjoy them - i think they will - anyway - so we drove on and on - past madison and into this little dinky town - i was for sure that we were completly lost - after driving around in the town for a bit - we looked at the map that sarah had gotten and i figured out which way we were supposed to be going - due to road construction we ended up going the opposite direction we should have gone - so we drove on through a small farm county road thinking we were going to end up in some cornfeild - and why not - radiohead have done stranger things before - we finally ended up in a town about 20 minutes south of milwalkie and 10 minutes from the ampitheator - the excitement was building -

when we finally get to the concert we realize the mess that this is going to be - there are about a thousand cars and nearly four thousand aimless twenty somethings strewn all over the land - so many kids with a hopeless look on their faces - lets just say i saw more bright eyes t-shirts that day then i ever have - the opening act stephen malkamus and the jicks played as mostly everyone walked around and bought things - i watched them for the sheer pavement quality and hopes that they would play summer babe - but the didn't - oh well - when they quit playing and left the stage everyone quickly ran to their seats and got ready for what would be an amazing show - i was ready and having found a nice seat in the grass in the upper eschleon of the ampitheator where i could see everything - it got a little bit darker and was about 8:15 when an electronic beat started to pulsate through the land - it was something new - i have never heard it before - but it was used as meremly a time killer - about ten minutes later 5 figures made there way out onto the dark stage - the crowd had begun to scream - and hearing about four thousand people scream i was wondering if i was going to be able to even hear the band play - but then they started playing 2+2=5 and everything melted away - as i listened to thom and company played i looked around and noticed that most everyone was just standing there - not really moving - not even swaying - as if everyone was really in schock of the performance - it was until the break in the song when the crowd came alive and started to respond to everything - there was a sudden rush behind me of people running up to the front to get a better view - but fuck it - i staied where i was and saw everything -


set list
2+2=5

stand up, sit down

sail to the moon

backdrifts

go to sleep

where i end and you begin

we suck young blood

the gloaming

there, there

myxomatosis

paranoid android

karma police

lucky

no surprises

just

fake plastic trees

street spirt(fade out)

you and whose army?

i might be wrong

the national anthem

idioteque

everything in its right place


overall it was amazing - i really have no words that could correctly describe the concert - they went from slow textural songs like fake plastic trees right into rythmic heart attacks like idioteque - there was no rhyme or reason to the show and i think that is what made it a great - there was very little
talking - about the most said was when thom said - "this is a dirty song for dirty people" before they played myxomatosis - but they played with the audience - thom danced around a lot of the show when he wasn't singing or playing guitar - making the audience dance along in unison - during karma ploice (one of the encores, the other was everything in its right place the audience sang the whole bit of "we hope that you choke" while thom laughed - probably from the fact that across the way farm families where hearing thousands of young people joined togeather singing such a macabre phrase over and over again - but it was great - great great -

on the way back home i kept thinking that i would probably never see the band play again - they don't come around that often and who really knows what they will do next - but i was happy to have seen it - i could go on here longer - but i want to get this post published and out to you so i am ending it prematurally - oh well - i figure the two of you who read it won't mind -

USE THAT STRIPPER POLL OR GET RID OF IT


so last night - because i am in such a fowl mood - chady and i went across the street to the strip club by my apt. - now before anyone passes judgement and says things like - oh my word he's straight or what kind of a place does he live in - i live in the downtown district - there are lots of bars and trendy little cafes too - it just so happens that on the corner of the street there is also a gentlemans club that has been there for some time - so why not make my first ever entrence in to the hidden realm of the strip club - so i did after some fenagling by chad to get me off my ass - you see i was just in a fight with the love of my life - and i am just not wanting to do much but get drunk a lot and bitch and moan - so anyways -

yes we went across the streat to teasers gentleman's club - first off - here i am myself gay with a large and incharge drag queen sans dress and wig - so i figure - ok - the whole bar will know were queer and it will be over before we get inside and a lap dance - but actually - we were a hit with the ladies - you see they perceive no ill wants from us - we just want to laugh and drink - and not groap them - so the strippers loved us - to the much dismay of the guys who were sitting in the bar drinking and scowling - but here is my top five special moments from my first strip experience -


TOP 5 SPECIAL MOMENTS ABOUT THE STRIP CLUB NEXT DOOR!
1. To my surprise, strippers love gay men!
2.When I got especially angry when a stripper got up on stage and she didn't even touch the poll. I mean come on. What more could you ask for in stage props! Ride that damn poll!
3.The boys who turned 21 got whipped with his own belt by the large busted stripper!The boy also did shots till he puked in the waste basket by the bar. Sure that is not so common, but it was all applauded and provoked by staff, which is quite a site considering they were all topless.
4.The man with the oxygen tank sitting at the stage. I was either waiting for him to pass out or blow up. No such luck for me.
5.When the stipper with the fat roll asked me if i wanted a lap dance and all i could do was laugh uncontrollably at her. I just wanted to scream at her "I'm a fag you dumb ass, what are you gonna do for me?!"


all in all i would say that i had an amazing night and cured my case of the saddies for a little while - unfortunatly i woke up with them again today - ugh -

GET OUT


so you ever have one of those friends that you can handle in small doses - one person who you love to death - but can't stand being around for too long because - oh maybe they are super opinionated or maybe they think it is funny to ritacule you in public - or maybe even just be downright bitchy - yes well i am with that person right now in my apartment and she is now leaving - oh my god - the week is over - yes! -

the main problem today is that she is going around calling me a 'whore' to everyone - which is simply not true - but why should i care if i know it is not a big deal - well - i guess i just don't see where she is getting this idea - she brought it up about a week ago on the phone - and then its just gotten out of control - she thinks that since i am living in a new town that i will instantly become a whore because there are new boys in town - but also because my friends (aka: her) aren't there to stop me - well that is a bit presumptious isn't it - thinking that she is really the one who is keeping me away from other boys - yeah - or maybe it could be my morals and values? -

AND THEN EVERYTHING TURNED ITSELF INTO NOTHING


so i am not back from my long week - just so everyone knows i was in minneapolis tuesday through thursday - and it was something fun - i was thinking of just glossing over the trip and saying it was just generally 'fun' - but no i have decided that i need some new content - so here goes the trip -


tuesday

so my goal was to leave town at the ripe early time of 9 am - well instead i got rip roaring drunk the night before with rebekkah clitorus and and i didn't even get up till 11 am - yup - i was mad at myself - but really what can you expect from me - not much really - well time wise that is - i am always late for something - er.....everything i guess - so i get to my parents house which was the point of departure to get my car - and i end up having lunch with my father at the local cafe and then picking some fresh vegetables for the girls and then actually leaving town around 2 pm - huh - not to bad if you ask me - only 5 hours behind schedule - shit - so i get on the road and i drove like hell - - - - driving interlude - think lots of coffee to cure the hang over and lots of bright eyes on the cd player to fix the mood - - - - so i get up to the girls house after a minor traffic problem on 169 in minneapolis - and i change my clothes immediatly so we can go out to eat - so sarah, joyce and myself all pile in the civic and go into uptown - there we stop at a wonderful little tapas bar called La Bogada - so once there the drinking commensed - there we had wonderful little catch up conversations on things like - what we all have been doing - who we all have been doing - and most importantly - what our futures are looking like - it was a great time - two hours later we three had racked up a nice little $80 dollar bill - credit cards away and we leave uptown and go back to the apartment -


wednesday

sarah and i decided to wake up kinda early - around 10 am - and then get ourselves already to go to valleyfair - which is this little minnesota theme park - its like six flags without the flags and lots of bad teased perms - but we drove anyway - and ended up having a good time - besides getting raped up the ass for paying 8 bucks for a hamburger and fries - it was a really fun day - i got completely sun burnt and so did sarah - she made me ride the power tower - which is the bungee like thing that hauls you up god knows how many stories (250ft) and then drops you down to earth - seeing as how i am afraid of heights - i was a wreck before it even got off the ground - but i made it with lots of cussing and a promise to be drunk later that night - i would have to say that i enjoyed the wild thing coaster the most - it has this amazing 60 drop - oh god it was so much fun - i rode it a good 4 times and it never got old - hell yeah - that is what i am talkin about - the most disturbing thing about the day was the fact that there were all these trashy girls there - who were havin trouble with their crotch eatin their shorts - now i know i will get in trouble for saying this i am sure - but truthfully - come on now - they were all over - and i was just disgusted so much - - - - after the evenin at the fair - sarah, joyce and i went south to see the boy who just happened to be on assignment up there - good for him and great for us - we went out to eat and had a good time in the process - more and more i realize that i am so in love with him - but it does me no good cause he does not love me - eh - what can a boy do - pay for dinner that is what - and i did - god i just wish i could get him over to my house now -


thursday

oh thursday we went shoppin at the mega center of consumerism - the mall of america - and boy was it something - this was actually my second time there - but i can never get enough of the stores - my favorite this time was a sock store called - pairs - cute - well i thought it was atleast - so i went sock shopping but didn't find anything right off hand - they had some nice argyle though - anyway - i ended up getting a really nice linen shirt from j.crew and i was even lookin at buying a new sweater - but then i realized i wouldn't be able to wear it the next day so i put it off - oh well - like i need another blue v-neck sweater - so i'll wait - and if its gone - eh - it will go to some other gay boy to take care of it - hehe - so we shopped for about 6 hours and then we drove home and went to grab the boy again - looking cute as hell in a little yellow t-shirt - this time we went to uptown and ate at chipoltes and afterwords walked to sebastians joes for ice cream - i had the raspberry chocolate chip - it was good stuff - i was actually quite impressed about what all was on that area of town - it was really cool - it was like this little bohemian place - where it was all cool to be different and no one cared what you looked like - not that i look different - i am as plain jane as the next - but i just thought it was very cool - afterwords the boy was dropped off at his house and sarah and i went back to her houes and drank some more - do you see a common thread here - drink - drink - drink - drink - yes that is correct - we are probably alcoholics -


friday

so friday brings nothing new but a day to go home and return to the working world - my mini vacation is over - that sucks and i then had to drive back 5 hours to home - even worse - but i like to drive and so i did - it is just the city traffic leaving minneapolis that i hate - and i did hate it - over and over and over again - i wish i had a cam corder cause i was screaming and cussing at everything under the sun - but best there was this little white cavaleir that kept flipping me off he would speed up and then slow down beside me - and i guess the problem was that i was not slowing down to let him infront of me - who really knows - but that was only making me more annoyed - so on the fifth time that he flipped me off i threw this old mcdonalds glass at him - i think that got him freaked out enough cause he slowed down and just stopped doing things all together - hahaha - bastard - serves him right - i'm probably lucky i didn't get shot - but oh well - so i drove home the rest of the way uneventful and got back to the apt -

all in all it was a great trip and i had a very fun time - it was a good time held by all i think - but who really knows - now actually sarah is going to come over and stay with me for about 4 days - which will be fun - i have to work every night - so who knows what she is going to do - shop - read - play in the internet - something fun i am sure - and i will hear about it when i get home and we go drinking - yeah! - god i sound like such an alcoholic anymore -

A LITTLE DANCE IS ALL IT TOOK


so now i am on speaking terms with the boy again - it is nice to be talkin with him again - how this happened was really an interesting situation - so interesting that i think i might tell it here -


Time

saturday night around 11:30 after working a 16 hours shift

Place

Jones Street Station

Occasion

The end of a hell week of work which included three fights and one suicide attempt.

When i finally get to the bar from work all i wanted to do was to get a drink. I had just completeled the worst week of work i have ever had. So can you blame me for just wanting to get a mucho intoxico. I bet not. Well, i went there and just happened to find Albert there already, along with Cathy, Brandon and the boy. You might as remember the boy from previous post concerning our messed up psudeo-relationship and from the other side of paradise which happens to be about him. Well at first he wasn't talking to me and was actually just ignoring me. So i ignored right back and spoke with Cathy. She kept telling me to just don't worry about him. That i should just go on with things. But i kept telling her that it is really hard to move on with life, when you have the perfect man right infront of you. I have been billing this boy as the 'one' and continue to do so. So it was bothering me to see him ignore me. So i then decided to fuck it all and just go and drink myself into a stuper. I didn't really need to go home so i decided to just fuck it all. So i started to get drunk.

After a while i went and found Albert because i owed him a dance. I had drank some of his drink earlier and decided that i should dance with him. Because he loves to dance and I love to dance. We love to dance and that was good enough for me. So we went along with some girl we'll call Mary for simplicities sake to go shake our groove thang. It was not long after we first went out there though that a boy i had met earlier that night came up behind me. If you can see where this is going then you are not that intuitive cause it is pretty predictable. So he is grinding on me, so i turned around and danced with the boy. His name was Jonathan and happened to work at the same place that i do. Interesting uh. I thought so, and apparently this boy thought i was interesting cause he was getting pretty hot on the dance floor. He kept wanting to put his hands where they DID NOT belong. Needless to say i really didn't have that much fun dancing with him. But we did so for like three songs.

So when we finally stop dancing i go back to the people i know and take a seat by Cathy. The night finishes up pretty quickly and we all decided to go to Rebekkah Clitorus's house for an after hours party. Truth be known, there are like six people who live in that house so it is always an afair to remember. But on the car ride home i was bitching cause i wanted to call the boy and talk to him. Cathy told me not to for one reason. This is the best thing i have heard in a while.

Cathy and the boy are sitting at the bar looking onto the dance floor while i am out dancing and getting felt up by Jonathan. Apparently the boy is looking very angry which makes Cathy put forth this statement.


Cathy: It's Ok. Don't worry.
To which he responds with
The Boy: He is really making me mad right now with this.


Oh my god what is this? Does someone really have some feelings?







 
...IT SURE BEATS GETTING CLUBBED TO DEATH


from what i understand this book is quite wonderful - two people i know have read it - and from what i gather it sounds like it is pretty good - perhaps i will stop my series of unfortunate events and order a copy to read -


Cheers! You'll be needing alcohol - and plenty of it!

A GOOD PLACE FOR A BAD BEGINNING


so my officially starting over in sioux city has been postponed again - i haven't yet gotten the apartment because of some other hold up - but the lady did promise me that i have it secured under my name and i will have a lease to sign as soon as tuesday - great - i am actually very exicted about this - my mother and i went shopping for some odds and ends on my birthday - on a side note i turned 24 on wednesday the 9th - we got some wonderful red pillows for my couch and a nice little plant stand for the kitchen - it should all look very well i think once it all gets into place - - and i will deffinetly have some photos of the new pad up on here soon - once i move into the city i will be able to scan photos again - now i live in the boonies and it takes me forever to get anywhere - so i have little time for scanning things -

but now i am the proud renter of a nice little two bedroom apartment in the historic district of town - specifically in the call terminal building - the pictures of the rooms look awefully cluttered - i assure you they are bigger then they look - but now i just have to decided what to put in the second bedroom - what to do indeed! - i am not sure at all - i am toying between an actual second bedroom/office - a place where my weekend guests can stay and i can do my typing - or just an office with a couch in it - where i can do work and relax - i think that i am leaning more to the first bedroom/office - i think yes - but then i will have to buy some new sheets for the second bed i have - !!! - oh my god what fun this is - right now i have these sexy nautica sheets on my bed - oh i love them! they are so soft - maybe you'll get to try them out sometime!! - haha - no

right now i have a basic diagram of what i want everything to look like in the house - i have my red couch and my two 1940's gold chairs for the living room furnature - my television will be sitting along with my dvd and some movies i am sure on top of my large steamer trunk (that found at a garage sale for 6 bucks! rock!) - then i have my crate and barrel coffee table and end tables - and the book case that matches the tables - which will be filled with books not movies like my brother suggested- maybe a plant if i have adequate light - in the kitchen i will be using my 1950's authentic metal table for the kitche table - it looks just like the tables that luke has in his dinner on the gilmore girls - oh i love it - bedroom is just bed, dresser and if i have room a desk for the laptop - and then the second bedroom - i am still wondering - the bathroom i am working on a decorating scheme right now - colors are black, cream and white - yes - and i have even found this kick ass terry cloth shower curtian that i believe i will be buying - oh well - i guess it will all be seen when i get some photos up of it - hehe - i am suck a dork describing what decorating i am gonna do - - - - well a gay dork that is -

on another last little note - i had a good birthday - i went out with my parents to see pirates of the carribiean and then went shopping with my mum - followed by some work packing things up and me falling asleep while i read a series of unfortunate events: the reptile room - all in all a fine dandy of a birthday - not too bad and not too good - just all around average - actually it was just what i wanted to do on my birthday - absolutely nothing at all -

JUST GIVE UP


so i have just given up on the boy and myself ever being together - unless we get trapped in some sinking russian submarine - i seriously doubt that we will ever spend some 'time' together again - although i am a little miffed - i do believe i have found a personal of him in the internet - and lets just say the photos are a little reveiling - it leaves nothing for the imagination - with the caption of (horney) underneath all of them - ok that is too much for me - a little bit disgusted i am - but oh well - what can i really do about it - i would love to be with him - but till he figures that out - let him do who he wants - blah -

last night i went out with rebekkah clitorus, albert and kathy - i met them at bill's bar (which is my new favorite bar) and i proceeded to get trashed - i had five drinks there in two hours and then at home i had three shots of pucker and two 40's of smirnoff - yeah it was a bad night for me - i really needed to let out some stress and i guessed the best way for me to do that was to drink myself into a coma - so i did - i puked three times today - including one time at four o'clock in the afternoon - that is just nuts - i can't believe i did that - dumbass boy that i am - but i had a good time and that is all that counts - right? - unfortunatly i did have to walk through the ghetto of sioux city to get back to my car that i left at bills bar - just me reading my little series of unfortunate events book and drinking some water - while the ghetto life went on around me - i was actually surprised i wasn't called a cracker or had something thrown at me -

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY
which is completely wicked awesome - my parents took me shopping today after i finished puking - i got two new pillows for my couch and a little plant stand for my new apartment - which as of now i am getting a two bedroom - cause somehow the bitch at the place messed up and oh god - yeah who knows what they did - but they gave away my apartment and now i have a two bedroom big monster apt - that is cool for me though - more room and now i can have guests!!!! and a guest room!!!!! - oh my i am such a dork - but i can't wait for it! - but yeah - so far it has been a good pre-birthday - i am not sure whether i am going to get plowed anymore cause of last nights incident - but we'll see - who knows -

because of the apt thing i am not sure if i will be writing for sometime - moving and all - but i'll let you know what happens - and i am working on pics too! - much love to you all -

HIGH EXPECTATIONS - WHEN I SHOULD HAVE NONE


so yes - well i am going out to dinner with the boy tomorrow - and who really knows what is going to happen - i wish i could say it will end happily - but it may not - but in either sense i need to just accept the fact of what happens - but first -
so i saw the boy at the bar and i went up to him and said hello - he said hi and we just kinda bullshitted about what was happening in our lives - yeah blah blah vomit - anyway - so i told him that in the past he had been really cool to me and paid for a lot of things for me - and that since i get my frist pay check i wanted to take him out - i figured he would say 'no we are done leave me alone' cause he has said that in the past - but he sat there a sec and said - yeah ok - wow - i about fell over right then - so that is great then - i am going out to dinner with him - sweet - wether it is good or bad i am not sure - i guess we will have to see -

now for something completely different - i have a new link for a friend test - it is located here so you should go and take it and see if you know me - i will admit some of the questions have multiple answers for different points - but the best one always has 10 points - try it out!! -

WAITING FOR THE MOON TO RISE


so i have spent the last two nights at the kids house - just crashing there because he works afternoons and the only time we can really hand out is the graveyard shift - oh no bother really - i don't care too much - it is actually fun cause i like the nightlife - oh well -

two nights ago we went on a date - the first date actually of whatever we are - budding i think - like a small plant or an undersea invertabrate life form - yes that is it - growing something new - but yes we had a date - it was a long one - from 5:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. - almost like a marathon - really it was fun though - we were gonna go out to eat early - but yea - tornado #1 was around town so we didn't - everything in town closed down cause of the warning in effect - i guess there was one about 3 miles right outside of town - scary - well at around 7 we finally went to eat and then just grabbed some movies - at this time was tornado #2 around the outside of town again - about 10 miles away or something - we ignored it - we watched the movies and vegged out as only i can do in perfect style and just talked - but the highlight was when he said we were going out - cool - no biggie i thought - but oh man - we went into the towns graveyard and then went to a mosaleum that is built into the side of the hill - we sat ontop of it and looked down into the whole river valley - it was quite a site to see - especially with all the heat lightening that was going on - there was constant lightening criss crossing the sky - it was a spectacular light show - i loved it - so then we came back and watched some other movie - i am not sure what - tornado #3 this time - we again ignored it - oh well - and then we just crashed hard - i fell asleep in an instant - so tired - but i had a really good time - it is nice to be happy again for once - for such a long time i was making myself misserable trying to gain something i think i will never have - oh well - i had fun - tonight i will be going to see him again - should be fun i am sure -
