WHAT A START TO 2007!

Life has managed to take a major turn going into the New Year!

For those of you who aren't aware me and my other half called it quits a few weeks ago. Our relationship was over a long long time ago, but we just didn't seem to move on. He'll still be living here because he's in school.

On the other hand I've also been seeing someone else (keep your nasty adultry comments to yourself) And its been going great! Can I just say that it was incredible to have someone you really like beside you on New Years.... and to be among friends? I can't tell you the last few years have been lousy.. partly probably because it was spent in a bar.

Don't call it a rebound either, I've been emtionally detached from the old one for sometime... perhaps if you were lucky enough to read one of my drunken blogs that disappeared within hours you would know!

Oh yeah, since I've managed to straighten my life out, I've stopped drinking so much and I've bought a new bed! FYI.. next day delivery doesn't really mean next day delivery... its more like next week delivery.... aruging and threatening to bring in a news crew didn't help either!

Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone... 2007.... is one I'm really looking foward too... minus of course the terror attack and explosion of Yellowstone! Cheers!

WE COULD USE ANOTHER GERALD FORD

I have to admit that until tonight, I knew very little about Gerald Ford. He was before my time.... or at least the time that I can remember. In the back of my mind he was always the short timer who walked into office, and gave Nixon a get out of jail free card.

Since his death tonight I've done some work related research, and now believe we could really use a Gerald Ford right now. He came into office at a time our nation was a wreck, the heart of the water gate scandal and vietnam. He helped our nation move on, and saved our world-wide reputation as a great nation.

I'm gonna call him the great healer... America really could stand to repeat history right about now (see below)

America's Biggest Mistake

So I'm not quite sure what it is about President Bush that I dislike so much recently, but I do. Would you believe I used to be republican?
I guess I was thinking about Bill Clinton today. He was impeached because he got a little action in the oval office.
President Bush is still high and mighty even though he lied to the world about the weapons of mass destruction, even though he invaded a country leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians. Heck, he's even managed to get Tony Blair, his only friend, to have to step down, yet there he still stands, a failure.
Yes President Bush we have failed. We have lost the war in Iraq. No, we can't leave, to do so would cause mass chaos, and prove to become a breeding ground for terrorist. Thanks Bush for allowing the young men and women to lose their lives, their limbs their futures to make the world a more dangerous place. These men and women fought in honor of our country, an honor you have shattered. You knew long ago what a mess you'd made, so you scared the country to death with gay marriage. Voile.. you're reelected. You have brought down the image of the United States... who's gonna trust us now?
The Game is over George Bush... step aside.

I AM BEAUTIFUL!!
Sorry I've been away so long, for those of you WHO DO read this thing! My computer died, Bryan is usually on his, and I haven't really been much in a blogging mood. But now I've got a brand new MAC! I've made the SWITCH. I'm sort of excited, but after you've been using a PC for 15 years, its gonna take some getting used to. Sort of a nasty story here. I got it yesterday, and rushed home after work to set it up. I also had to get ready to go out, because Bryan wanted to go get a drink. So i turned it on, and you had to go through a set-up process. So I took the laptop into the restroom with me, and all the sudden I see myself pop up on the computer screen.. Umm.. that's a little shocking to see considering the circumstances. Turns out there's a camera built into the laptop, and it wanted me to snap a picture, for my user id. I passed.. but later took that cool pic right there! Other then that, not too much has been happening that I care to share with the world. Ummmmmm..... Oh yeah, Happy Turkey Day, I ate enough food to feed everyone that will read this on Friday.. and oh.. I had to work... so its not like I was sitting around on the couch eating. Now I wanna go to the gym.. Hope i still feel the same way tomorrow.

YOU EITHER LOVE ME OR HATE ME

So I've been like this ever since I was in grade school. People tend to either like me or hate me, and there's usually not much space in between. Usually I think people hate me because they don't get me, not because I'm mean.

I've been reminded of this a few times recently: Like at work, I recently learned that someone that works under me doesn't like me, and thinks I'm condescending! CONDESCENDING? What shocks me is this guy is very talented, and I look forward to when he's working with me. I'm like WHAT?

Then I thought back to a time in my past when a friend of mine told me "Unless they know you, they think you're being mean" It was something about my tone, or my word choice. You'd think though being on tv in my past, and even an actor, i'd learn to at least fake it.... NOT.

Oh yeah, so last night I went to this event called Blowoff... it wasn't bad. I will say it was nice to go to a venue where its not a bunch of snobby twinky queens throwing "Shade" I mean there were a few, but most seemed like pretty laid back guys. I think someone thought I was mean there too, when I tried to strike up a conversation. Oh the words I use!

So i'm not so sure my little relationship is working too well right now either... we seem to not be getting along too well right now. Hmm.

Saturday I went to the Miami-Terps game with a friend of mine. It was pretty cool... now I wanna go back to a hokie game. Oh... but getting tickets to the Hokie-UVA game is nearly impossible.

Also.. I need a new computer... I am thinking Mac.. What do you think?

So the first week of weight watchers went well..I lost 8 pounds! Second week with the elections, I didn't do so well, but at least I maintained!!!!!! Last night Bryan wanted to go to Popeyes.. we did, ate, then came home and found out it was worth nearly two days of calories! Ummm. lets just say the toilet smelled like chicken after that! No No.. we won't turn into the Olson twins.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP DREAMING?

So I've succeeded in this life, so far, living in a dream... wanting the impossible and trying to make it happen. That attitude has always helped me take things to the next level in my career. These days life has sort of taken a lull. I don't know how to explain it. But it's like I've plateau'e at the moment... hit a bump in the road. I don't dream, and I don't know what I want next.
What I do know is that I don't like the direction I am headed at this very moment... what to do?

Do tonight I stopped by my normal watering hole on my way home, and a guy I associate with passed out, or had some sort of medical emergency. I felt helpless.. we hang out sometimes, at the bar, but I don't even know his last name. All I could do is sit back and watch the asshole redneck arlington county paramedics carry him off. I hope he's okay.

So anyway... I decideded to listen to music tonight and a few songs took me back... Violent Femmes to High School... the Carpenters to when I drove my first real bf back to Georgia to school in 1995.. then Amber and sexual to remind me of e, t, c and so on....
For the first time in my life I don't KNOW what I want to do next... I just know I'm not living that moment right now... In fact, for the first time in years, I think its time to quit my job and see what happens.
Part of me wants to live in Wyoming....
Part of me wants to try NYC..
the rest just wishes I could win the lottery.. and start a country store with oragnic produce.......

Oh yeah.. BTW.. I started weight watchers.. going okay.. I feel so gay doing it..
and also... thinking about trading in my xterra.. I wanted a beamer.. but found out they only have rear wheel drive... not so smart before winter.. any ideas?

HOW I GOT REVENGE ON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION DAY

So I like to be forward thinking, and not live in the past, but sometimes its hard not too! Today I was reminded about something stupid and sneaky I did to piss someone off in High School, and I got to thinking how, although I have changed in many ways, I am much the same as I was back then.

So in High School, I think I wanted to be anyone BUT who I was, funny thing though a lot of other poeple knew me better than I did back then (well.. sort of ;-) ) A lot of people were also MEAN. and I HATE MEAN PEOPLE! Although a lot of people think I"m a bitch.

Okay.. so in the school newspaper's senior edition, I was in charge of where people would be in ten years... For the one girl that reaked havoc on my life, spread rumors and was just a downright Biatch to me... I said she would be doing "Nothing" I think I was psychic... she really isn't doing anything... in fact, I think she's in jail.

Then there was this jock jerk who I basically said that he would be following around his buddy all his life.. Another guy I had as a grave digger.. he gave me a death threat on grad day as a result. Funny though, this is the same guy who I saw one time wearing my old shorts I had given to charity (and I was a really bad dresser.. still am) And there was this other girl who had never done anything bad to me. Her last name was Haley. I had her as the manager of Comets Pizza or something (no one seemed to get the joke but me) I really wish I remember what else I had said... I know I was cohosting the today show with Katie Couric.... eh.. close enough.

Oh yeah.. I was also in charge of the senior wills: There was a nurse who dyed her hair, left her lifetime supply of hairdye.. and this woman with the last name Haynes... I left her Fruit of the Loom...get it?

I can only imagine what else I left... I know it created a big scandal that I ran off to college and never heard about.

I had such a dry sense of humor... still do. God.. I would love to find that paper now..
