The Sound of One Voice Laughing

You know what is the worst thing about being alone?

Not having someone to laugh with. Seriously, laughing alone sucks.

Just sitting here watching Chappelle Show laughing and looking around and suddenly noticing there is no one here to laugh with me.

I guess I have this weird feeling of wanting to laugh with someone. I want someone else to find this funny to confirm the humor or something.

With that said, I don't necessarily feel lonely, I just wanted someone to laugh with me; not to talk, just to laugh nothing more nothing less.

New Year's Resolutions

It's 5:40am and I am still up. I haven't been to sleep before 6am for the last two weeks. I know insomnia usually means something deeper is going on inside my head (sub conscience), but I can't figure out what. Perhaps I'm just bored.


Either way, I just came up with my New Year's Resolutions. I know, they usually don't stick, but damnit, I need to make some REAL changes in my life. I can't keep going on like this, otherwise, I may be forced to... well I have no idea. I probably won't do anything, but I hear goals are good to have, they keep you focused.

Here they go in no particular order:

  1. Exercise (walking to car, doesn’t count)
  2. Complete all tasks each day
  3. Maintain bank account (at least make sure money is in it before using debt card - no more service charges)
  4. Get car legal (registration & get car insurance - no more parking tickets)
  5. Start sleeping (try to sleep before 2am)
  6. Write daily (damnit, you will finish at least ONE story or idea)
  7. Be more social - start answering the phone & will attend events I am invited
  8. Start sewing - you got a sewing machine for Christmas when you were 16 (nine years ago), it’s about time you actually make something besides pillows
  9. Enhance vocabulary - buy a word a day calendar
  10. Volunteer - help someone else because, well it’s a good thing to do

I'm going to print this list out and post it all over the house. I hear if you see your goals often you are more likely to do them.

Damnit, why can't I sleep? I even have PBS (Exploring Society: Introduction to Sociology) on and still can't sleep. I wonder what's on CSPAN right now.

New Obsession - Colin

If you know me, then you know, if I like something, I REALLY LIKE IT. I guess most (normal) people may call this obsessing. This may be true, but my obsessions are usually very intense yet, short lived.

For instance, a couple years ago, I could not get enough of sun flower seeds . I would buy the large $1.95 bag and eat the whole thing in the course of two days. Naturally, this would leave me extremely dehydrated and kill all my taste buds for a week, but damn, those sun flower seeds were great.

Another example is I had this friend, let’s call him Jung. To me, Jung was the most interesting person in the world. He was born in China, moved to the states (alone at the age of 17), married this black lady, got a divorce, and started his own business, all before he was 24!!! I was in awe of him. I couldn't get enough of his stories and well, him! So we hung out every day and night for two weeks straight. He even taught me to ride a motorcycle. Okay, it was only one lesson, for like 15 minutes, but it was the first time I've ever rode a motorcycle.

Well, these two obsessions lasted around 2 – 4 weeks and then I was done. I grew tired of sun flower seeds and Jung. After a while, I realized sun flower seeds were more of a bother to eat, you had to crack open the shell, then spit the shell out, repeat, repeat… I had to give up the habit. As for Jung, well, we just stopped talking. This came after I realized he got on my nerves and could only spend no more than 30 minutes at a time with him, otherwise we may end up killing each other.

Well, I have a new obsession. And his name is Colin Farrell. He has dark hair, dark eyes, tattoos, smokes, drinks, and swears! How can you not love all that. And did I mention, he “loves da ladies”. Apparently he doesn’t have a problem with casual sex, translate… that means I may have a chance!!! Okay, maybe I don’t have a chance, but still there is something about him that I’m deeply attracted to. (At times, anyone who actually isn't afraid to smoke cigarettes in public generally interest me).

Currently, I’m day dreaming about my trip to Ireland, of course the trip would be spontaneous so I wouldn’t have made plans ahead of time. After I get off the plane I would jump into the first taxi I see and tell him to take me to “the most common part of Dublin” (I stole that line from Coming to America). The cabbie would drop me off at a pub (we call them bars), where I’ll meet some cool and interesting people and drink my first Guinness beer. After hours of laughing and learning local Irish customs, I jump out my seat to run to the bathroom and guess who bumps me and burns me with his cigarette (yeah, bad things happen to me, even in my day dreams), none other than Colin Farrell.

Of course, he’s extremely sorry and takes my burnt hand and gently kisses it until it feels better. He continues to offer to buy me a drink… yadda yadda yadda, I awake the next morning in his apartment feeling good.

Wow, got a little besides myself there. Anyway, enough about my new obsession (you don’t even want to know how much time I spent on the internet looking for pictures of him), go rent one or all of the following:

A Home at the End of the World
Phone booth
Hart’s War

P.S. I don’t really recommend Alexander. Only, watch it if you have a couple hours to spare, but hey, you gotta support the new love of my life.

P.P.S. Yes, I know I sound like a school girl, day dreaming about a guy I'll never met in my entire life. But you know what, the fantasy feels fu*kin' great!

P.P.P.S - I want a tattoo now, I wonder what I should get...

this is effed up!

This is totally effed up. Viktor Yushchenko, the Ukrainian opposition leader was poisoned. In a matter of of 30 days his face now looks like this (re. the picture).

Now, I don't know much about the Ukraine or eastern Europe politics, but this story really bothers me. Probably because of how effed up this dude looks. This is horrible! I get angry just looking at his face.

I can just imagine looking in the mirror every morning and wondering what da fu*k happened to my skin. Was it the shell fish I ate? The new perfume I brought? It would make me go crazy. I would of course, never think someone poisoned me. Then again, I'm not a political leader in the Ukraine.

But you know, this has taught me a valuable lesson, next time my face breaks out, I'm going to check the trash bin for any strange bottles marked "XXX" for poison. You can't trust anyone.

a bottle of wine/i'll feel fine!

I decieded to make myself feel good today. This included movies, food, wine and cigerettes.

I stopped at Wawa (is that a national store, or just in the northeast of the US?), and got a shortie sandwhich and luckly found buy two get one free pack of Marlboro Menthol Lights (happy days!!).

I continued to the video store and rented Shek 2 (which sucked!) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and paid off my $11.58 balance.

Lastly, I stopped by the Wine and Spirits shop and got a box (the cheap stuff) and bottle of wine (the good stuff).

Isn't it sad, that cigerettes, movies, food and wine make the perfect day for me?

Now it's 5:16am, and I believe I am drunk. My conginative functions are certainly slowing down, but who cares, I feel great!

Old School

Haven't written in a while, and I kind of feel bad about that. I thought I'd do this entry old school. And by old school, I mean like back in high school. Here we go:

Location: Office
Mood: Nothing, I feel absolutely nothing at this moment
Current music: Older by George Michael
Weather: Chilly

Today was pretty uneventful. I woke up in a great mood for some strange reason. I just opened my eyes and immediately had a smile on my face. I was feeling so GOOD, that I took a moment to say a little prayer of thanks to God. Yeah, I pray (occasionally), so don't look at me like I'm crazy. But don't get it twisted, I ain't trying to convert anyone.

After waking up, I did, well nothing. I mean, I did wake at 10:56am, so the morning was about done. After watching the tele for a while, I went out to breakfast. I had bacon and eggs. They weren't that great, but hey, what else can you eat for less than four bucks.

After the meal, I drove to a shady furniture store. The kind of furniture store, that sells 80's decor (bright red sofas and tables). I swear the store was a front for a drug cartel. Needless to say they didn't have anything I liked.

I then continued on to the movies and saw Closer with Jude Law and Julie Roberts. GREAT!!! Go check it out. Seriously it was a very good movie. But keep in mind, there aren't any fight scenes or shoot outs. It's a dialog driven movie, probably because it's a remake of a play. Wonderful dialog. The characters were all interesting.

Not much to report or share, I've had a couple uneventful weeks, bare with me.
