So I met someone through a mutual friend. We hit it off quite well, in fact she is the closest thing to a soul mate I've ever experienced. But there's that trust issue that pops up. It's not so much trust I guess, because I know she would never intentionally do anything like that. It's more of a fear of her going away. Everyone goes away in the end. Is it really worth it? I just can't take another person leaving or dying in my life. Sometimes, like tonight, I just want to run away and never depend on anyone else ever again. I know that's kinda fucked up, but it is how I feel and I can't help it. |

I went to see my first opera this week: Puccini's Turandot. I didn't think I would like it; what with all the screaming and such. Actually, it was quite moving. Putting music and drama together makes all the difference. I don't think I will run right out and buy a bunch of opera music to sing along with in the car or anything, but I will probably see another this year. |

I'm thinking I should probably do my State taxes today. I used Turbotax for the Federal months ago but they wanted some ungodly amount to do the State. And of course I thought "Hey, I have lots of time before I have to worry about it" so they never got done. I hope it's not too terribly painful. |

I can't believe that it's like 20 degrees outside. It was just 80 last week. This sucks. I really need a vacation someplace warm and sunny.

It's such a beautiful day outside and guess what I'm doing? Laundry. I would put it off but I'm out of socks and underwear. That will teach me for procrastinating. |

After a couple of Morgan & Cokes this whole vgift thing is confusing. But then so are traffic lights and stop signs I guess. I wanted to send a vgift and it ended up coming back to me. Grrrr. |

How is it that entire hoses just catch on fire and burn and I can't seem to start a fire with some wood in a fireplace? And I'm even using flammable starter. Damn, I suck. |

Every year when it first starts to snow I play a movie called Beautiful Girls. It's really old, has a ton of people in it and is set in the midwest, but it accurately portrays how guys think about women; so if you want to understand how confused we are go watch it. |

some people are meant to be permanent. and then there are those that come in to your life with the biggest of fanfare and as much as you want them to stay, are not meant to be. they are the ones that show you who you really are, bring out the best in you or help you through the worst of times. if you're lucky, you've known such a person if you're blessed, you've loved such a person. |

Fresh on the heels of the spinach and salad scare that killed I don't know how many people, my organic carrot juice was just recalled for botulism. I'm taking this as a sign to go back to eating McDonald's and Pop Tarts. At least that stuff is safe. |

I got to sleep in 'till 11, it's sunny outside, The Tigers beat the Yankees, Michigan trounced Michigan St, it's Sunday and the NY Times is on lap while I'm sipping a double espresso. The world is right today. Except for the fact I have a ton of homework. Oh well, it still feels good for right now. |

In my History of the Arts class, I have to write a 3 page paper on a piece of Baroque music. Three pages???!! I could possibly write that much on a song with lyrics; but I'm not so sure I can b.s. that much about an instrumental piece. Anybody have any ideas? |

Went to a ballet of Dracula last night. I was wondering how they interpret it in ballet form. Surprisingly, it was quite good. They adapted Bram Stokers rendition with characters intact and used Mahler for the music. The theatrics were excellent. However, it kind of pisses me off that no matter how much I work out and how many weights and manly exercises I do, I will never have the perfectly sculpted body of someone that does ballet. Why is that? It's just not fair. Despite that, I don't see myself donning tights anytime soon. Or ever. |

The last 2 times I went to Somerset Mall (in a Detroit suburb) I got hit on. By guys. The last time was the salesman at the Armani Exchange store. Yuk!! What the hell is wrong with me??!! Do I give off a weird vibe or something? |

I am so sick of hearing how we are fighting a war on terrorism. No, WE are not fighting anything. WE are shopping, going to school and doing normal everyday things. There are men and women in another country fighting and dying for something; although I doubt protecting us from terrorism is one of those somethings. Just because I am critical of this war doesn't mean I don't support the troops over there as some would allege. The whole plan sucks. If those people had defective helmets or guns or some piece of hardware, would it be wrong or detrimental to the troops to be critical of that? Yet how much more important is the whole plan? If I see that it is defective, wouldn't I be remiss if I didn't bring that to someones attention?

So I get home tonight after a nice dinner and drinks to find a bunch of e-mails from eBay and my account frozen. Apparently, somebody breached my account and bid on a Camaro. A Camaro??!! At least they could have bid on a Benz or something worthwhile. Anyway, spent like a half hour trying to get everything re-activated. What a pain. People suck. |

Summer was especially busy. I haven't updated much as I have been busy writing and doing classes this summer. I decided to take a math elective online. Bad idea. Real bad idea. Linear algebra is this abstract multi-dimensional crap that I thought might be fun. The prof wrote his own book where each chapter consisted of one or two pages of theorems and proofs and an example; that was all there was. Luckily the MIT OCW website helped me out as they have a class with all the lectures on video, and the(in)famous Gilbert Strang teaching it no less. It was kind of like being at MIT without being there. Saved my ass, though.
I wish I were better at matching colours. I'm trying to pick out stuff for the living room and I just suck at this. I see something I like and get it home only to find out it doesn't match anything else. I would like something out of the pages of Objekt or Metropolitan Home but a) can't afford it and b) wouldn't know how to pick any of this out. I think it's a visualisation problem. That, and being a guy I'm impaired at that whole decorating thing.
I apologize to all of you whom I have neglected this summer. It wasn't intentional, but I am starting to understand why I am unable to grow even a single plant. |

Just got home from a great concert, in fact my ears are still ringing. Three stages and I don't know how many bands, but I got to see: Say Anything, Love Arcade, Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional and AFI. AFI totally rocks!! But the best thing is that I took somebody that had never been to a concert before and she was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. That made my night....... |
