Talk about a shitty day. crapmouth
First of all, I give Cyndi Lauper props for surviving the 80's shakeout. Better her than Mr. Mister (Take these broken wings and shove em up your ass). But being able to go on with the show after such a traumatic experience shows that she's a trooper. I would have insisted on a Listerine(tm) enema of the mouth and counseling.
ta ta!

Grilled leg of lamb, boneless. 98 McNabb Ridge Merlot, the whole bottle.
I'm feeling good right now.
Here's my Yahoo! radio station. It doesn't really suck.

I have my own radio station on Yahoo Music, that is "LaunchCast Plus". I even got the premium subscription so no ads. What's great is I can totally customize it by rating artists, songs, and genres. Then Launch even suggest songs that I might like based on my selections. What a great way to expose myself to new music and shit. This is good since I'm still jamming to my 1991 Ice T "OG" cd. Nothing wrong with that but need to hear some new shit.
So why does my station suck???
On another note, one of my favorite pro skaters of all time is now a talented musician.
Tommy Guerrero
His music rocks so take a look.

Yeah, I'm the guy who left a single sock in the laundry room for two weeks. It was there, looking at me every time I went in there. I thought, there's no way I'm the guy who leaves a sock for for some other sap to put on the folding table.
Now claiming the damn thing would be admitting defeat. After a while, looking into the sock's sad eyes every time I washed my whites, was too much. Not to mention that I had one lonely sock back home at the pad. So I looked around, made sure no one was looking, and quickly returned the sock to its home.
Hey, I'm still recovering from Saturday night....

Ever have one those nights where the next morning you have to dig through your wallet/pockets to confirm if you did indeed pay the bar tab you opened?
With luck, you are spared the prospect of returning to the bar during daylight hours (when the bar looks like complete shit and you wonder why you would ever hang out in such a place) and saying "I need to pay off my tab from last night".
Even then, the good part is they've already closed out your tab and last night's bartender is gone, so there's no one to tip! Save yourself five dollars! (friggin cheap bastard).
Anyway, I found my receipt and credit card, confirming tab payage and no daylight bar trip!

Isn't life a miracle? You realize this big time when you create that life. My heart is swelling with pride and joy right now.
So about a month ago, I killed my cubicle plant (gift from co-worker) by pouring hot tea in the pot. I was leaving for the day and didn't want tea sitting around. This scorched the roots and it was slow death. Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot.
Shortly after the plant's murder, I was eating a Minneola Tangerine (damn good, and easy to peel). I spit a couple of seeds into the pot for laughs. I even watered it regularly.
It sprouted its fourth leaf this week. I check on it every morning, water if necessary, observe her lush green leaves.
I'll post pics if I ever figure it out, and Jimbo comes by with his digital cam.

You all have lived it, but never knew the name of this "thing" that everyone experiences.
Take this story by the Enlightenment philosopher Diderot,
'Regrets on parting with my old dressing gown’.
Diderot was given a new red dressing gown as a present. Because it made other items in his study seem shabby, Diderot gradually replaced his desk, his curtains and other elements of the previous clutter so that they might complement his scarlet robe. In the end the room was transformed, but Diderot reports finding the effect discomforting.
So every time you buy something nice.. shoes for example. Then you need new pants, jacket, and socks to go with these shoes, hell, you might even need a new car. You have experienced the Diderot Effect..
So, I'm at home, building my new Ikea computer corner desk, begat by my new HP Pavilion, installing a shelf for printer (can't have it on the floor!), and I see a new desk lamp in the future. iPod anyone?

I gotta rant and muse a bit here.
1. Windows XP sucks.
2. Everything costs money.
3. The sun will kill me
4. Every magazine to which I subscribe depicts lifestyles way above my income range (eg, "Yachting").
5. My rice cooker is ghetto.
6. I drink about seven cans of club soda a day.
7. I've pumped in quarters the equivalent of Nairobi's GNP into my apt. complex laundry facilities
8. Seriously, that Phil Collins song "Take Me Home" is pretty damn good.

I absolutely love this.
This is the right way to take care of shit heads on the wrong side of the law.
Wipeout
Who know the Spaniards had any balls left!?

So, what do you do when you've done the whole "It's a beautiful day out" thing and hiked for a few hours and finished by 1pm? I just made myself a great lunch, and enjoyed a couple glasses of merlot. I feel like officially doing nothing for the rest of the day. Is that ok? It's still beautiful out....
