Smiles and Sunshine

Tuesday, August 31, 2004

Today was just one of those days when everything just seemed to be smiles and sunshine. Can't explain it. Don't want to have to try. That would diminish the smilely-sunshinyness of the day. So, I will leave you now...as my powers are needed elsewhere...also, I think that there is hockey on right now. Stay frosty. Later.

A funny thing happened the other day...

Tales of Interest...or Uninterest Pt. 2

The story that you are about to read is true. And by true I mean...false. The names of the participants have been left the same...mostly so that you can ridicule and taunt them at a later date and time. The facts of this story have been embellished and exaggerated...mostly for my amusement. So, with that disclaimer out of the way, make way for more...TALES OF INTEREST!

So, KN was in a story telling mood the other day. Why? I'm not quite sure. It's not exactly a story that you want to share with others...or at least, not me. In any event, this story takes place before GKN and KN became husband and wife. Anyways, KN was recanting a story, where he was rubbing himself in GKN's bathroom. For whatever reason, he decided to apply some A535 Ultra Heat Rub to his genitals. Why? Not quite sure. Needless to say, he came screaming (which quickly turned to weeping) out of the bathroom into GKN's room. "It burns! It burns! Get it off! Get it off!". So, why did you just read this tragic story of masturbation gone horribly wrong??? I don't know...

Still...you read it! You can't unread it! Stay tuned for more...TALES OF INTEREST!

Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy

This is a post for Gwyn. Hi! Remember our conversation the other day? For the most part...I'm taking your advice to heart. I think I'm finally beginning to understand just what it was you were trying to tell me. Thanks for the advice. I suppose that would make you right (not that I was saying you were wrong). So, one day you're right the next you're wrong. Maybe this will balance out the universe a bit. Stay frosty. Later.

A Room with a Moose

Finished watching volume one of Invader Zim yesterday. Waiting for volume two. 'Nuff said. This post is mainly to publicly thank to very outstanding individuals. KN, a gentleman and a scholar, and his wonderful and compassionate wife GKN. You can search the world...but, I guarantee that you will not find two friends greater than they. Thanks.

FUEGO!

That's for GEKN and KN. Later.

Wait!?

What's that??? Looks to me like...smiles and sunshine! :)

Every catch yourself doing something that you know you shouldn't. But, you do it anyways. And while your doing it, everything seems to move in slow motion, which of course make the thing that your not suppose to be doing seem even worse? Don't think that made sense...oh well.

I had to stay home from work yesterday...my ankle wasn't cooperating. I think what's more disappointing, is the fact that I didn't get to go to Golden Age yesterday. For those of you who don't know, Golden Age is probably the largest comic book shop in Vancouver...I might be wrong, and if so, I'm sure someone will correct me. In any event, it's probably a good thing that I didn't go...probably would have spent stupid amounts of money on new trades.

Other than the constant pain (ankle), things are pretty good. The home is many steps closer to being finished. I'm actually sleeping in the bedroom now. No more sleeping right next to the TV. Anyways, it's good to be up and about. I might be back later with some more...who knows? Stay frosty.

End game...

There has been some interesting, yet difficult, conversation with a few different people or the past several days...and it looks as though things might be back on the road to the land of smiles and sunshine. I know that I've said this before...and know me, I'll probably say it again. But, all that being said, I feel pretty good about things right now. I don't want to jump the gun or anything, but, today might just turn out to be...smiles and sunshine.

There is an action committee sponsored BBQ here at work today. Mmmmm...free food. Now, normally the prospect of free food is a good omen on its own. But, now that I'm out on my own, the very thought of not having to buy food, cook the food, and clean up after food preparation and cooking, is near as you could get to smiles and sunshine...at least in the realm of...eating.

Alright, I'm simply babbling right now...but, I'm going to blame that on the latest addition to my constant pain. Yesterday, I rolled my ankle. It's an interesting feeling when you pop a joint out of its socket...the "slow-motion" realization that you just did something really shitty...that's classic. It's probably a good thing the season is over...I'm might not live through another week of ulti. I'd like to congratulate Dangerous Curves, on a stunning comeback victory yesterday, to place third overall in our division. Nicely done ladies and gentlemen. I also feel as though I need to apologize for largely ignoring the team post-ankle injury. Unfortunately, as I said at the beginning of this post, some rather unpleasant conversation needed to take place...sitting on the sidelines because of an injury, seemed as good a place as any. That being said, I made a commitment to the team and thus should have been paying more attention to the happenings on and off of the field. Sorry. I'd like to extend a particular apology to my teams coach and captain, who seemed particularly displeased with my choice of activity following my injury. Sorry, DC.

I'd also like to apologize to many of my friends, who over the past few weeks have watched my slow descent, all the while giving me the exact advice that I needed, yet which I continued to ignore. And undoubtedly, I've been a little self-absorbed, and have largely missed what has been going on in their lives. For those things, I'm very sorry. Thank you for your continuing moral and emotional support...I couldn't have had the courage and strength to do what needed to be done, with out you. A round of applause for all of you...the elite of the junior detectives. In any event, things are generally looking up...minus the pain, of course. Alright, then...I'm sure I'll be back later today. Not being able to walk, I'm pretty much chained to this desk. Stay frosty. Later.

Comfortably numb...

Interest begets expectation. Expectation begets disappointment. Disappointment...well, that's just a cold slap to the groin. Later.

So it begins...

Home...yes, I can officially say that the apartment will no longer be referred to as "the apartment", but simply as...home. I did my first grocery shop last night. Kinda cool actually. I did a whole bunch of cleaning as well. Everything in its place and a place for everything...well, most everything. In any event, we're suppose to be going to see Spider-Man 2 (AKA the greatest movie in the history of the universe). As sad as this sounds, the event itself, is predicated on the attendance of a single person. Why, you ask? Because, I like having drama in my life...it make the constant pain that is my life all the more interesting. Also, I've started a bidding war on DC's blog (read the comments of the Wednesday? post). So it begins...

Stay frosty. Later.

Mind Over Grey Matter...

Having spent the greater part of my day inside a hospital...I learned a new word today: iatrogenic. Don't know that it's particularly useful in everyday conversation...but, it's nice to know that someone somewhere spent some time creating a word that basically describes when a person is killed by the system. Actually, it sounds like a word devised by some conspiracy theorist. :) And so ends the lesson for today junior detective. Be warned...this will be on the final exam. Stay frosty. Later.

It's like running through pudding...

And the hits just keep on coming...hello junior detectives! I've had a headache for the past...oh...10 hours or so...the light hurts my eyes...it burns...it burns. I think it's from being clocked in the back of the head...concussion maybe? Who knows? Maybe it's just more constant pain that I will simply have to live with. Anyways, I'm sorry to say that we lost last night. The chance to play for top spot in our division just outside of our reach. C'est la vie. All in all, and while the season is not officially over, I have to say that I think I had a fairly successful season. I learned a lot and I think that I've improved my all-around fitness and skill levels. I have to say that I am looking forward to playing Fall Season this year. Unfortunately, everything else is kinda ho-hum right now...not sure what to do about that. Maybe a sandwich would help...

Now That's Just Bragging...

Hello junior detectives! FYI: DC's wearing the same clothes that he was Saturday night...you know what that means, right? Yup. Sex. And apparently lots of it. Way to go DC! Later.

Taste the Squirrelly Wrath

Ill Will Press. 'Nuff Said.
