Happy Yuletide, To all who still read this thing.
Anyway today is going to be a very fun and busy day to say the least, but it will be lost of fun. Well later today there was supposed to be as Yule ritual with the a pagan group who's functions I attend pretty regular but due to weather concerns that has been canceled. But still on the agenda today is the following
2:00pm Sushi dinner with a few good friends
3:30ish Attend Scrybe's Star trek meeting at cafe Du Monde
4:00 putz round Lakeside mall and CC's to do some writing for my website/this will most likely wind up me hanging out at Target and Clearview.
4:30 go to grocery and restock on my salad mixes and fruits for my diet
5:45 work out This will get done today but maybe later in the evening.
7:00 Yule ritual at my house.
Speaking of Yule last night scrybe and I exchanged gifts I think he liked the telescope I bought him, and I loved the squirrel candle/offering holder he gave me.
As for other news.
I found a few spoilers the other day on 1/18/08news.com regarding the movie cloverfield, this appears to be an end of the world type movie. My first reaction was NO!! not another xian psycho movie screaming repent the end is here..So to keep or try to keep the pagan movie nights I am trying to organize free from proselytizing psychobabble of nuts. I am asking anyone who is on my myspace to voice what do you want to do on 1/19/09. I am trying to rotate the weekend days so that way someone can always come to it. A few said are in Baton Rouge said its very hard to come down here after work on Friday nights so I am trying to accommodate them. But like a friend of mine in Ohio.. who is a practicing Streghera(gods I hope I am spelling that right)Many paths have some end time battle, and pointed out a good point the path I follow does have a final battle between the gods in my pantheon and elements of disorder. And to not be so judgmental.
Also I recently made some new friends, and all which was great,because it is showing me how to be a kinder and giving me reason to become more educated in some things.:)
Now also the other day I got to thinking about the most recent direction some things took for me and my attitude toward New Orleans. For 4 yrs working on 5 I have always smirked and made sarcastic remarks about this place. Alot of times I am screaming for this place to evolve to New York City or San fransico/Berkley. This city is not that, it is new orleans and in my every whine and sarcastic remark I have been disrespecting the land spirits of the city. So as I trotted down Severn yesterday drinking my sugar free non fat no whip decaf gingerbread latte, I couldn't help but decide I want to stop doing that. This city has done so much for me, its not its fault back in my first year of college I screamed I quit when I went through a sad and depressing time. Alot of people admonished me to take that time I spent crying and use it to be the best at what I wanted to do.Which puts me in the place I am now. I know computers, I can repair them, and do basic networking but when it gets to Cisco and MCSE things I can't do it because I got so sidetracked by my drama queen antics, and feeling slighted and cheated by life because I am not acting like some of my friends do or so on down the line. I thank what ever is in my corner as of late for helping me. so this yule I am going to make things right... Its gonna be hell but I am going to learn CISCO and I will learn all about server 2k3, active directory and that stuff. And I should also stop making fun of somethings. However I must say Shame shame on the local news paper down here the Times Picyune. They published an article stating that there was a peaceful protest about the Razing of the local projects that was beyond deplorable before the storm. I know people who was down there watching, but not protesting and they said the crowds was bad in some cases they was trying to be violent so I ask this.. WTF how is tazing and pepper spraying brutality when someone breaks a barricade.. My feelings are you jump a barricade then expected it Dumb A##. But nonetheless I am going to be more kinder to this city.
Also I am still so excited about my trip in January I am going back home to visit. So I am trying to find places that can accommodate my new dietary needs, and also my needs for IT related things for my website, and other things I am working on. And its going to be great this time in that for once I am happy to be me, and not feeling bad because I am not this person or that person or upset and being a fun likeable person.
