Come Forth and Suckle at the Electronic Teat...

Dallas, TX


So, I haven't posted in awhile. In fact, I haven't done too much of anything in awhile. I knew when I bought this "portal of information" back in January that it would be beneficial in my efforts to write more and keep better financial records and what not. In other words, I envisioned it as a tool. Something that would help me organize and better myself. That was before I knew of the vast proliferation of wireless internet. Or "herionet" as Miranda and I call it. It's like crack. I can't get anything done because I find myself spending all my free time fucking around on this infernal machine doing some of the most mind-boggling and pointless activities imaginable. I think an intervention might be in the offing. I used to exercise. I used to write. Now all I do is fritter. I can't tear myself away and before I realize it, I've stayed up way too late and then I can't get up the next morning and I'm tired all day while I'm trying to drive...AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


Anyway, I'm guessing by this time that Mike and Erin have officially embarked upon their wedded bliss. I wish them nothing but the best. They seem very happy and just, I don't know, RIGHT. It makes me happy to my friends doing so well. The same goes for Steph and her impending nuptials, even though I have yet to meet her fiance. Maybe I'll get to it one of these days. He seems like a cool guy. Lots of people in my life seem to be doing so well, I just wish I was around more to enjoy it.


I haven't seen anything too terribly interesting on the road lately. I was in Laredo, TX yesterday, which is always an adventure. God love 'em, Mexican truck drivers are insane. I found out yesterday that many of them do not have AC in their trucks. Jesus!! No wonder they drive so fast. Gotta keep up the airflow into the windows.


I'm listening to Pavarotti sing Flower Song from Carmen. I love the guy, but God! Musically, it's marvelous, but his French is atrocious. Probably why he never performed French opera live onstage.


Speaking of music, every time I load up I-tunes, the first thing I HAVE to hear is ABBA's Take a Chance On Me. Does anyone else feel this is cause for concern???


Any Questions? Any Comments? Be Quiet as You Go...

I go through patches of time when I am so sick of anything "internet" that I barely check my email. Right now it is pretty much a tool and not too much on the entertainment end. Then, I will suddenly find a whole field of study to spend time on and my habit is renewed all over again.

BTW, the wedding was awesome. Thanks for your kind words. Hope to see you Saturday!
