intentions

  • i log on here everyday with full intentions of posting a new blog. but i read so many blogs during my time at work that i feel by the time i get here... i'm out of ideas, and that everyone else has way more important things to say. i feel like i am cluttering the space that could be used for better words and thoughts. but hell. i just feel like typing something so here it is. a bunch of rambling on... bare with me if you want.

this morning the first thing i did was watch the train wreck that is joaquin phoenix. i don't know if you had the pleasure of seeing the derailment but it was definitely worth the 10 minutes. i have never seen such an awkwardly ridiculous interview. it was insane. cbs has put a copyright on the video so the link is just snip-it. i would recommend trying to find the whole thing. 

so working for this security software company has been an interesting adventure. i have turned into a huge nerd who is afraid of surfing on the internet. i am afraid of catching a drive-by-download. i feel safe with my mac on my lap, but you know what, hackers are crazy. and with the recession, i don't see why there won't be more hackers trying to make a buck or two. it's a scary internet world, so this is my warning to you. be careful.

last week, i had the wonderful opportunity to experience some joyful sounds from james morrison at the paradise club in boston. he was great. he didn't perform too long, but i don't think he could have gone any longer, he was giving it his all. it was good. however, i have to say the highlight of this was his opener, erin mccarley. she is true beauty. we were situated on the side of the stage so we didn't have a great view of the front of the performers. so all i heard was her voice, but i think i enjoyed that better. i'm there to hear people sing, not look at them be pretty and sing. that's just too much. so when i got home that night, i looked her up, she is gorgeous and has a gorgeous voice... clearly, jealous and bitter towards her, but i like her. i recommend if you like pretty girls who can sing, to check her out. that being said, i really want to pursue some sort of singing gig. i sing all the time and i love to and i feel like i have a decent sounding voice and i love to perform. so i have my guitar up here and as soon as i bring it to the shop to get restrung and tuned, i will be back at it, learning the chords and getting reblistered. it's all for the best though. i am looking forward to this challenge. keep an eye out for me... ha.

i am working on trying to find an apartment to call my own. seeing as though i currently live with my sister and her family, i just feel as though it is time for me to be "on my own." so the apt. search has started and i am enjoying it. i am meeting a lot of interesting characters to put it nicely. i met with a girl yesterday and i can't tell you how many times she said she watched tv and that she loved tv. don't get me wrong... i enjoy leisurely tv, but when it takes over your life. it's time to think seriously about the situation. so i don't think that one will be a go. i went to check out another apt today and loved it. the people were great. the apartment was fun and close to everything i love and it was just a good vibe coming out of the walls. i like that feeling. 

  • sorry about the formatting. i got bored and thought it would be different....

Merry Christmas To All and To All a Good Night!

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was sleeping, except for my mother downstairs... and me. 

I have to say it feels damn good to be back down in the South for Christmas. I wore flip-flops today and I think the high was about 65 or so. Glorious. Especially after trudging around in the snow for the past week. It is a change of scenery and I love it. I am starting to think that Seasonal Affective Disorder truly does exist and truly does affect me, and it is SAD. 

But Christmas is a great time of year and I am so happy that my whole family can be together. It's a great feeling! All my nieces and nephews running around crazy and playing with them reminds me that life is so special. They remind me how important it is to not take life or yourself too seriously. 

So, I'm staying up to wait for Santa and his reindeer. I asked a friend at Mass today if he was going to leave cookies for Santa, and he said no because Santa is a diabetic. Don't worry though, solution: sugar-free gum! 

Ho, HO, Ho
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
