For those with ADD, you can cut right to the pictures via the lj-cut on the bottom. ^_^This past weekend, I took a trip down to Omaha along with Dave Kitsberg. We were attending the wedding of our dear friends Cho and Athena, and we spent a little over three days there. It was good times, and I wish them a great time on the honeymoon! Major thanks ( Read more... )

PBS just re-aired the old concert "Roy Orbison and Friends: Black & White Night" taped back in 1987. I haven't seen it in years, although I have the old VHS and have watched it countless times during my life. But damn if I could resist watching the entire thing again tonight on television. It's such an important part of who I am, in so many ways. ( Read more... )

My grandfather just recently passed away; I'm finally getting around to writing about it. A lot of my time has involved being there for family, so I apologize to various people that I've been out of contact with for the past week or so. With him gone, and having already lost my dad, I now have only TWO direct relatives left: my mom, and my ( Read more... )

I'm just starting to get over the flu, after being struck with it for almost a week now. I'm not quite better yet, still pretty weak. But I'm nowhere near contagious anymore, and I finally have the strength to do something besides lay down or sleep. It was definitely the worst flu I can remember having, at least in terms of the first few days' ( Read more... )

It was my birthday a couple days ago, on the 15th. I was gonna post something then, but various things have prevented it from happening. Lots of stuff has been going wrong in the past week, it's almost like bad karma for it to happen around my birthday -_-; But if anything, I'm always the last one to get depressed or moody about something. Like ( Read more... )

Wow, two updates in the same month! I haven't done that since, well, one year ago it seems. It still won't beat the record from my first month on livejournal, back in August of 2003, where I actually posted seven times in one month! ^^; I don't think I even had seven posts in the entirety of 2005. Yeesh. But anyhoo, back on the subject. I've been ( Read more... )

This is actually a copy of a response message I'd posted a week ago, over at MM-BBS. It was a long post, and it came late in a thread that had already exhausted its discussion. In that, it got no replies, go figure -_- So since I'd taken a nice fifteen minutes originally writing the thing, I figured it may as well go on livejournal. At least on ( Read more... )

I was going to write something of this sort back on Thanksgiving. Something that described the things I'm thankful for in life, and what truly has meaning to me. Something to cut through the superficial trappings of the everyday, and to reflect on what actually matters. However, like most of the journal entries I've planned to write in the past, I ( Read more... )

Tonight I was lucky enough to catch the Peter Jennings special on ABC. They opted to present the show without commercials, something we don't see very often. The bill was apparently carried by ABC themself (or by Disney, I should say, as it's their parent company). It was an amazing program, and one of the most brilliant things I've watched in ( Read more... )

This post is actually about one week ago, last Friday the 22nd. It had to be one of the most varied and interesting work days I've had in my entire life. We had random celebrities, pro athletes, drug sniffing dogs, and funny enough... a slow day as far as actual sales went. So here it goes, I'll try to keep the interesting bits in chronological ( Read more... )
