Monthly Post! WooHoo!

Ok, this kind of pisses me off.

Lindsey Lohan

I have been sober for almost 10 months now (1/14/06) and its no easy task and especially not something to throw around. Not one person I have ever met in AA or NA or whatever openly dispalys their chips/coins/thingies like jewelry. They are meant as reminders and tokens of accomplishment. I still keep the 24hour coin with me at all times, even though AA did not work for me and the stint of sobriety it was originally for failed miserably.

I have recently entertained the idea of having a drink, that perhaps i CAN have only one or two like a normal person if I am accompanied by a close friend, that maybe this doesnt have to be a lifelong struggle, but I still would never think of essentially discreditting the attempts of those struggling against addiction by flaunting my coin as a fashion accessory.
GGrrr.


k off my soapbox and back to work.

..who you are..

Meet me at the old drive-in
the place we shouldnt have gone
to do things we shouldnt have known how to do
so as to avoid mothers and prying little sisters
that we may have scarred for life

im feeling guilty again
like eternal sunshine
everlasting moons winking, sharing
our secrets

i will lay out on the lawn in front
of the old, now new, drive-in
and i will wait for you
in your martyred pose

to find me
cloud worshipping.

My Monthly Post.

Im having problems on the best way to upgrade my company's database. Currrently using the archaic program Q&A, sold by Symantec long ago to a German company. Sesame by Lantica directly imports, but in 10 years will we be in the same situation with an outdated program no one knows how to fix? I am leaning toward ACCESS, but not sure if we need SQL or ifACCESS will be enough since it is a relatively small company, with 4-6 people on the server at most at one time and about 15 people being dispatched in a service call capacity. Any advice would be helpful!

I'm so fucking tired

Ive just realized recently when someone asked me:

"so what have you been up to?"

that i am working 53-55 hours/week, 6 days a week, trying to start an online ebay company while manageing a small ebay consignment business, atempting to update my makeup portfolio by scheduling shoots and models and trying to remmeber what i took all those goddamn classes for, trying to update my cinematography reel but forgetting to upload the footage from a film i shot over 2 years ago (that put me on IMDB thank you very much) while starting 16-20 hours of school credits to get me out of this hell of my life.

Christ, i just need a nap. I dont understand how people can function this early in the morning.

at long last

I'm tired of putting up with people's shit. I can feel my life wasting away as I continually let myself be pushed over. In relationships, at work, by my family. Im sick of it and have truly reached my limit. Its amazing what someone will put themselves through because of the fear of being alone, when in retrospect that person has been alone for 27 years. Screw this. Im. done.

Buy American!

In May, in the midst of the Ford Motor Co.'s "Red, White & Bold," buy-American ad campaign touting its classic Mustangs, the research firm CSM Worldwide (using statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation) revealed that 35 percent of the 2006 Mustang's content came from overseas, and in fact, that five Honda models and seven Toyota models contained more U.S. content than the Mustang, including Toyota's Sienna minivan, which was 90 percent U.S. [Wall Street Journal, 5-11-06]

mmm...

In a May dispatch from Atlanta on Southerners' notoriously unnutritious, fat-laden cuisine, a Chicago Tribune reporter watered readers' mouths with descriptions of the "hamdog" and the "Luther" (prized dishes of Mulligan's restaurant in Decatur, Ga.), which are, respectively, "a half-pound of hamburger meat wrapped around a hot dog, which is deep-fried and served on a hoagie topped with chili, bacon and a fried egg," and "a half-pound burger served with bacon and cheese on a Krispy Kreme doughnut." The 11 states from Washington, D.C., to Florida, west to Texas, have the nation's highest mortality rate from strokes, but, said a University of Mississippi professor, "Food is a strong emblem of identity for Southerners," uniquely shared across racial lines.

LEAD STORY

The National Health Service office in Dundee, Scotland, has recommended toilet techniques for the estimated one-third of the population that suffers from bowel and bladder dysfunction, according to an April report in The Times of London. The pamphlet, "Good Defecation Dynamics," lists preferred breathing habits and describes the proper, upright, seated posture for effective elimination ("Keep your mouth open as you bulge and widen"), and encourages support for the feet, perhaps "a small footstool."

Shalom Outside The Home

1997 -- The Brooklyn, N.Y., organization Shalom Bayis ("Household Peace" in Hebrew) closed down its 24-hour mistress hotline in January after an unfavorable New York Daily News story. A Shalom Bayis spokesman said the hotline's purpose was to place its 40 volunteer mistresses with unsatisfied husbands in order to stop the "plague of divorce" menacing Jewish couples. Although Shalom Bayis claimed to take no fee for its services, it did admit that after the Daily News story, most of the hotline callers were single men and happily married men who just wanted sex.

Dream

Ok, so I parked my white Ford Ranger pickup truck on the airplane and hid my pet cat and mouse that I had snuck on board in a cat carrier then covered it with a red blanket and stored it at the back of the airplane, behind all of the other parked cars. Then we left and went for a walk through a park. Then , looking up, I see the island of Manhattan (which is frozen) floating about our heads then floating away. I look at Dave and say "I hope you've got all you Pink Floyd albums." "Yeah, good thing too" he replies. On the walk through the park back to the airplane, the cat I snuck aboard appears in front of me; she had escaped from the plane. I tkae her back to the hidden cat carrier on the plane and find another cat, a few mice and a couple of rats were sleeping in the carrier. I dug out my little gray mouse and stuck my cat and my mouse in my pocket.
Then I woke up.

"Congressman Fucks Own Wife Out Of Political Necessity"

WASHINGTON, DCSeeking reelection in 2008, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) will limit himself to sexual activity with his wife, Libby. "I love my wife and would never do anything that would weaken our sacred bond of marriage, or reduce my constituents' faith in me," said Doggett, who faces fierce competition in the next election due to recent redistricting. "Libby's been right at my side, and instrumental in my political career, through all our years of marriage." Seeing no possible negative ramifications, Doggett allows himself to jerk off while thinking about Naomi Watts.

Oy Vey part 2

tomorrow i am going to have something called an EMG test done, which from what i understand will involve several needles being poked in me at once while the test administrator quietly giggles at my pain. lets hope the results do not indicate nerve damage, for that would suck since i believe the surgery is quite risky. hm. im a NOT looking forward to this.
sure wish my family or anyone i know from back in tennessee were here, im pretty freaked out, and its rare i admit im scared.
le sigh.

so 'The Man' wins again

i spend most of my life standing around, waiting.
at the post office, at work, at the store, waiting for someone to pay attention to me.
in order to get ahead in this world, you need a skill to rely on, an in demand skill that, while may not be something that you particularly enjoy, will help pay the bills and let you pursue what you really want to do.
Many people have the helping hand of thier parents or loved ones to give them a boost up towards the american dream. alot of us, however, never have that oppurtunity and end up struggling through life just to get by. we may be smart and ambitious in our pursuits, but that means a whole lot of nothing if you cant pay for it. for example, i would like to return to college to finish up a degree in something that, while im not going to love, will pay my bills thus giving me the peace of mind i need to survive.
classes begin Jan 28th.
im working 3 jobs at a minimum of 60 hours a week. im trying to get some of my own stuff done on the side as well as being in physical therapy 3 times a week for an hour at a time. i really hate one of my jobs and think i can actually afford to quit, but they have me by the health insurance, which i need for the physical therapy, etc. one of the other ones is just a bar job one day a week which is a two minute walk from where i live, so theres no point in leaving that. the last one is a little office job 2 days a week that i am trying out to see if i can actually do something outside of the restaurant field, plus i am anxious to learn how an office works since one day i wish to run my own business,
all this is such a delicate balance - and i want to progress in my life so much, but i cant since if i try to return to school now i will collapse and die i think.
and the man wins again.
