Have you ever read this?

I just came across this while looking through my website. I don't even remember writing it, but it made me laugh! For my friend's 40th birthday, we formed a band for one night only and played at the Whisky-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip. We had to have band names and a bio... this was mine!

Happy New Year

I want to say so much, but on the off chance that I don't make time, I want to wish everyone a very happy and brilliant new year! xo

I'm in the mood for food...

I am going to have some time off and I feel like cooking. Favor me with your favorite recipe, won't you? I promise to write about the one I cook and include photos... xo

Remember when your mother told you to never take candy from a stranger? This is who she was talking about...

Happy Bowladays!

Tonight I was invited to a private bowling party that was being thrown by this girl named Kelly. I hear she won some talent show that was broadcast on TV. I didn't really get into it, but she was definitely incredibly sweet. Not too shocking considering how much I love her other friends that we share in common. Like the hilarious Jessie McNamara...



or Sam and Ginny



or the sassy Aunt Mel



or Aben and Ashleyanne, two people I can't tell them I love enough. Seriously, they get insecure if I don't say it often.



There were some intimate moments as Aben gave Drew some pointers...



He didn't seem to have the same for his sister who had her own style...



Aben was giddy after THREE strikes in a row. That only happens to me in baseball.





Thanks again Kel for the party tonight. I hope that singing thing works out for you. Good people deserve good things. Personally, I feel I deserve some sleep. 'Night all! xo

I need some Toddlehouse eggs.

Hi.

So I keep promising to blog and I keep not blogging.

Because it has been so long, there are so many things swimming in my mind I could talk about and I am not sure which would be the most interesting.

We never chatted about seeing the Dixie Chicks or Barbra Streisand. So I suppose we could talk about that. How brilliant I thought it was when the Chicks entered the stage to All Hail The Chief or how dizzy I was sitting eighth row center at Streisand. If that isn't a gay man's fantasy, I don't know what is.

We could talk about the holidays. How are you holding up by the way? I am one ghost visit away from uttering,"bah humbug". I have decided I am completely against presents. Well, Christmas presents anyway. There is just no way for me to give to all of my friends anything of value that would represent the worth of their friendship. Even to give all of my friends a gift under ten dollars could end up costing me thousands. So it is better to not give or receive as far as I am concerned. Instead, I want to enjoy the parties. The friends I haven't seen in months. Laughing over good food and a smart cocktail, unlike last night when I had too many stupid cocktails. My stomach is not pleased with me this morning. I'll take it to breakfast soon and hopefully it will forgive me.

We could chat about the weather. I am housesitting for a friend. The bed I am typing from (I know, so decadent) is about four feet off the ground, giving me just enough leverage to see for miles into the horizon through the large bay windows. Oh yeah, I am on the third floor (did I mention decadent?). The air is cold and crisp and the sun is shining. Whoever said Los Angeles
is ugly has never been here during our winter. The sky is crystal clear and the air has just enough moisture to add a little green to the landscape. It sure beats shoveling snow or the windstorm that knocked out Seattle's power this week.

We could talk about my new job and how much I love it. I have never been busier and I have never been happier (hence the lack of posting). Sure, I'm a little scared about my tasks ahead for the new year, but nothing is worth doing if it doesn't mean something and stimulate you. Does that make sense or am I really that hungover?

We could talk about the cover of the new Esquire magazine that reads: The Meaning of life. That reminds me, I have been working on a blog about God. I am looking forward to posting that one and getting your feedback. I always enjoy receiving your feedback. Makes me feel like I am not typing to myself.

We could talk about New Year's resolutions. I really need to put mine in writing this year. I always mean to. I would be curious to see how I did this year. I had such different expectations of 2006 and was taken in such a completely different direction. I'll definitely get working on that one soon.

We could talk about how my dear friend Sizzle started a blog revolution last Friday by asking everyone to reveal their online blog crush. Is it too late to reveal mine? I do have a little one. On a straight boy that I don't even know that I actually discovered through Sizzle's blog. It is a healthy crush. I just appreciate his love for General Hospital and his ability to craft his words so beautifully into the most heart wrenching and romantic prose. I think the girl that gets him is going to be a lucky recipient to his generous heart. Have I gone too far in my gushing? Who knows? Maybe he is a serial killer and the blog is all a front. Is that better? No, I don't like thinking that either. How about, he writes all of these romantic words but he is actually really kinky. Yes. I like that much better. I digress.

We could talk about the Tater Tot casserole I made to celebrate my childhood friend Matt's birthday this week. How every time I talk to him on the phone my mind is flooded with memories and even though we don't talk often, there is a familial feeling that grounds and centers me. Maybe I should talk to him more often for that very reason. A resolution perhaps?

We could talk about my real life crush on a boy. A boy I actually know. A boy who seems to have a crush on me in return. A boy who has been making my heart smile a lot lately. Perhaps 2007 will finally reveal that boyfriend I am always dreaming about.

We could talk about all of these things. And perhaps we will over the next few weeks as the holidays offer me some time to wax poetic and breathe. In the meantime, this will have to be enough for now as I am starving. I think I need potatoes and maybe some bacon. Mmmmmm
bacon. Maybe a BLT. Maybe some Toddlehouse eggs. Yes. Today is a good day for breakfast.

Hope it is a good one for you as well.

Oddities.

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

I'm not feeling so good. I had a delicious dinner with my friend Paddy last night and then I spent the entire night restless and nauseous. No, it wasn't Paddy's fault. In fact, I would do it all again just to have another meal like that with her. It's just making for an uncomfortable day. And I have so much to do. And of course I am tired and not feeling well, so I don't want to do anything. And we all know what I like to do when I procrastinate- BLOG. It also helps that I haven't really done one in so long. You would never know I have so much to say with as quiet as I have been. But I do. And not to be a tease, but it isn't going to be right now. Unfortunately, I really do need to get some things done. Maybe I will heat up that chicken noodle soup in the fridge and blog during lunch. Odd that that seems comforting to me. But what about me and my life isn't odd?
