Another Weekend...poof!

-
These two days that I get off at the end of the week are great. But they go so fast.

It probably gets tired every personal post involves Jessi, but she came over this weekend to hang out and check in on me. We were going to hit up a house party in Lynchburg, but after looking at the gas prices and the limited budget that we had. We decided to stay here in Richmond. I figured she could use the peace and quiet anyways...and I needed the company.

We then noticed Bullistic was playing at the Canal Club, but I decided against that too. Come to find out Unhinge was playing too! They just got back together...dammit. We both collectively kicked ourselves big time for missing out on that! Good news is they are playing in May with Saint Diablo!!!

So what DID I do this weekend?

Friday night we went into town for Red Lobster. I owed her dinner from a bet we made earlier this year, and I felt it was a good time to pay up. We both this afternoon finished the leftovers finally. We got our 30 bucks worth. We stayed in after that and watched Clue. I think I was a child when I saw that last. Cute movie.

Yesterday morning we watched Doom. Yes, lame movie, but I grew up playing the game, so what the hell. I did like the plot twist in the end, but the ending stunk after that. We mostly sat around and got caught up. It was good talking to someone besides the cat.

Sunday we ventured into town to get my hair cut. I am so fuzzy now! I haven't cut my hair since July, 2005 before Ozzfest. It's much cooler outside now that I don't have my mane. I look good though. Once I shed this weight I think I'll look pretty damn sexy.

So thanks again, Jessi for being there for me. And thanks for the blank CDs! I won't have any left by Tuesday.

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

The Drowning Death Spiral of Modern Political Debates

There's nothing like a tragic loss of life for people to tout their political beliefs. And it's so much easier in this social media age. As I've noted many times before though, there's a lot less discourse now and a lot more shouting and yelling. The weekend tragedy in Orlando is a sad and depressing example of this showboating. In the midst of evil and intolerance, sides have geared up to discuss the merits of gun control again. Yet I don't really hear a coherent debate. What I hear are two sides screaming about two narratives that don't mesh together at all. Picture two children arguing. One wants a video game and the other one wants to eat. The focus is in two different arenas, food and fun. On one side of the gun debate are people who are strong advocates of constitutional jurisprudence. Passing increased measures to limit a law abiding citizen access to weapons, they believe, will not solve the problem of evil that exists when a bad person obtains o

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after
