10 years!


i got an evite to my 10 year reunion. the fact that it was an evite was amusing. do i really want to go hear people i wasn't cool enough to hang out with in high school because i was a "band fag" tell me about their jobs at the gas station? or listen to their crappy poetry? i don't think so. maybe i'll go to the 20th

just let your soul glo....

i got my haircut yesterday ... ok i got them all cut, but it got me thinkin' about how some people probably communicate better with their haircutter (barber, "stylist", coiffeur, folicle technician, whatever you like) than they do with members of their family. it's like they know something about everything, an oracle with a personal trimmer. the oracle in matrix should have had one of those spinning poles out front. personally, i've talked with everything from what kind of shitter i was installing in my condo to buying lamb at costco to the layout of my sister's basement (she goes to the same guy).

nuts

i'm sitting here with my laptop on, well, my lap. i've been doing this more lately. i'm thinking this can't be good for my junk

$$


does the fact that i still say "money" make me old? do kids in high school or college use the term at all? is swingers required viewing for whatever generation they are?

i'm in the wrong business


on my walk back to the car from the aforementioned downtown office/shooting gallery, i go past a place called the Ho Kong Bean Sprout Company. how do you make money doing that?

y = mx + b

i've been listening to a lot of fall out boy lately ... is that bad for someone who's 28? i feel like i should be doing algebra homework rather than figuring out how to test a satellite radio chip

oh, for those in the know ... the fall out boy album is called "from under the cork tree," a reference to the children's story ferdinand. anyone who knows the story might realize that this could also fall under my frog and toad theory

paging mr rooter ...

well my gut's officially leaky. good stuff. essentially the cells in my intestines are too far apart so "stuff" gets through into my bloodsteam, hence the positive test for 22 kinds of food antibodies in my bloodstream, so rather than "goodbye wheat" it's goodbye all 22, at least for the time being ... so i've essentially become a squirrel ... i eat a lot of nuts

was fifty cent in boston friday?

is it possible for someone to get shot and for it to not be on the news or in the paper? last friday, me, barnesanova, and the man we call coop were sitting at a red light, right outside the downtown headquarters of the company i work for (not my office, but i was using the garage to park), and i'm pretty sure we heard three gunshots. the people on the silver line sure as hell thought so too, as they all took cover. i thought about taking off, but i would have gotten seriously t boned. as soon as the light turned green i did my best "the guy who played pedro cerrano driving during the gun scene in heat" impression and got the hell away. we didn't see anything on the news or in the paper though, so i guess my question is, how did that ..... happen?

viva mexico!


you know how on calendars if there's a holiday for another country they put it in parenthesis, like "boxing day (canada)." i saw yesterday, "mexican independance day (mexico)." thanks for the clarification.
