8:46 am - Note...
to all the new people who have added me in the last week or so... I DON'T SPEAK RUSSIAN! guh! what's the point of following somebody's journal if you don't understand what they are saying.

Not that I post much publicly anyway... but seriously, I've had like 20 people add me and all of them write in russian. WTF mate?

or to put it another way...


все новые люди, которые добавили меня в последнюю неделю или около того ... Я не говорю по-русски! guh! Что такое точка следующий-то журнал, если вы не понимаете, что они говорят.

Не то чтобы я отправляю гораздо публично в любом случае ... но серьезно, я уже 20 человек, как мне добавить, и все они пишут на русском языке. Мать WTF?

(btw if the proceeding paragraph doesn't make sense... that's how I would see your journal if I translated it)

current mood: annoyed

11:26 am - The Joy of Sox...
Hello to all my flying monkeys... The times they are still difficult... I've managed to work a week in the last month, and trying desperately to stay above the waterline. But in these trying times of turmoil and universal brouhaha, it's important to remember that there are still worthy causes that are worth giving to.

To this end... our friend and midnight rida Benjamin is going to be doing the Aids Ride in just over two months... and R and I wanted to donate something to this very worthy cause but because of the whole not working... well you know. So instead R is auctioning off a very lovely pair of custom warm woolly socks to one lucky person. You can get in on the bidding right here Let's find a cure and keep your tootsies warm together.

Who wants to get soxed up? :)

current mood: None, or other

6:31 pm - Writer's Block: Tricky Questions

What is your first reaction when someone says "I need to talk to you"?


View 503 Answers

Turn and run as quickly as you can... because nobody ever "needs to talk" just to tell you what a good thing you have done... or how cool you are.

1:11 am - How has your 09 been so far?
Driving back from "shade" today I was thinking. Now that there is the first 24 hours of the year are nearly behind us with another 364.25 days ahead before we get to kiss the first decade of the 21st century good bye. How did you spend it? If this 24 hours was a microcosm of the next 8742 to come... how would that look?

how much of it did you spend dancing?
how many times did you laugh?
how many hugs did you give and receive?
how much time did you sit in traffic?
how much time did you spend trapped indoors working?
how much time were you afraid?
how much of it did you feel loved?
how much time sleep did you get?
did you take good care of yourself?
did you take care of others around you?
how much time did you spend with the people you love?
how much of it did you spend alone?
how much of it did you spend doing something you love?
how much of it did you spend doing something you hate?

I know for myself I would be pretty happy if the next 364 days were as wonderful as this one... it's be hard to make money, so perhaps a bit more balance is in order. Work a little, play a lot. I'd also be pretty happy if I got to spend as much time around all the wonderful folk in my life as I did in the last 24 hours. I also felt like I took pretty good care of myself slept when I needed too (although perhaps less then I should), ate pretty well, drank but not to excess, played hard, danced, laughed, did what I could to take care of others... and generally had a pretty damn good time.

How about you?

Now I'm not really one for resolutions... but I do have some plans. Things I want to learn and or accomplish this year (I'll keep them to myself for now ;) that way if I don't make it I'm only beholden to myself). I'd also like this year to have much more love and less loss and pain. Just sayin.

So what do you wish for in '09?

This year starts with more hope then I have felt in a long time... in a lot of ways. Be awesome to yourselves and each other... and go forward with <3 <3 <3 hope to get to see all of you (especially the ones I didn't this last 24) very soon and very often.

<3 to all,
j.

2:24 pm - Keeps forgetting...
That I should probably mention to people that I'm going to be part of the Glendale Montrose Christmas Parade this weekend. Because nothing says Christmas like fire breathing in the middle of the street. :D

1:28 pm - Rainey asked me to...
... let everybody know (or at least the friends that we have in common) that they still don't have internet at the new house yet. They do have a phone... but I don't know what it is yet. However if you need to get in touch with them shoot me a PM and I will get them a message or try Rainey's Cell.

Thanks,

J.

2:33 pm - Saying goodbye...
This afternoon we had to say goodbye to Puffdaddy... he was a good old kitty.

He lived a loooong full life, clocking in at 18-19 years old. At his best he was damn near if not over 25 lbs. A crotchety old poop who used to sleep in a ball on the front lawn while we had garage sales. People would stop as they were walking down the street just to pet the kitty. He survived at least two dog attacks and being shot once. When we figured out that he had been shot (with a bb gun) we put up posters in the neighborhood to let people know to keep and eye on their pets... only to discover that Puff was a regular "six dinner sid" with regular stops around the neighborhood where he had several people convinced that he never got fed who would gladly give the poor starving kitty tasty treats and sumptuous nibbles. On man in our neighborhood even said that he used to watch movies with Puff and had a special bowl of treats just for him.

Always friendly with people... he didn't share the same opinion of other cats (or for that matter dogs) and would regularly scuffle with Charlie. As he got older those scuffles lessened a considerably to where he would mostly sit and look on with disdain while Charlie and Tiki would reenact great moments from wild kingdom... mostly just coming over to whatever human was available to beg for scratchies... sometimes a wee bite of whatever you were having... too if you can spare it. He used to have a terrible habit of "fishing" in whatever you were drinking... mug of tea... cup of coffee... glass of watter. He would sit and dip his paw into it while you weren't looking. Needless to say there have been a few unpleasant surprises waiting at the bottom of a few unattended glasses. "is that kitty litter?"

He was a glutton...

He was a cranky old poo...

He was a very good kitty...

He will be missed.



Via con tuna lunch box... I'll see you again some day.

current mood: sad
