I have finally found the courage and motivation to take up writing again. I see this posting of my innermost thoughts as a cathartic way of dealing with the world, a release valve for when I want to blow off steam, a space for my socio-political rantings against Republicans and also, for those that know OF me to actually get to know me. Thoughts, comments and suggestions are always welcome ... lets do this!

Snowy Wonderland

So the first real snow of the winter of 2008-2009 is falling today (at least in Maryland) and it looks like I'm going to be stuck here at least until they decide to salt the icy back roads of Carrol County. So I'm going to blog a bit.

I know I still owe pictures of Halloween, Christmas, New Years, my little sister's engagement (and of her rock which she does NOT STOP showing off) and now my interesting little trip to Texas. One of my friends recently made it back from Iraq (alive and in one piece unlike thousands of other American soldiers) and I promised I would visit him in Austin, where he bought his first house, which by the way is FABULOUSSSSSSSSS!

And to be perfectly honest, me and G.I. Joe have kind of been feeling each other for a very long time, despite our... unusual meeting (grin). But instead of a hot passionate weekend (with him at least), I walked away with a very sour taste in my mouth (not from what you think). My Army friend showed his ass in a way that I've only heard of but never had the pleasure of experiencing. Apparently he wanted to make me feel jealous by kissing on this Mexican dude (with a GREAT personality btw... ). He gets off on having someone he is dating fly off in a jealous rampage. It lets them now that they REALLY care about him. He was also pissed because of a revelation I gave him which I didn't think was a big deal but apparently in the land of childish immaturity, acting like a prick is an acceptable form of communicating ones displeasure at unwanted (but honest) information.

The weekend wasn't a total loss. I met some new people and had a blast with G.I. Joe's friends in Dallas (including the Mexican guy with a GREAT personality.) And we kind of resolved our issues on the 2 hour drive back to Austin. Being forced in a car for 2 hours kind of facilitates talking about shit. I think I would visit again though under slightly different pretenses.

So looks like I'm oh- and two when it comes to the long distance thing. Speaking of long-distance, it appears I was incorrect about Dominic's Christmas gift. Apparently someone at Amazon copied the address label wrong and sent it to "Manager" instead of "Night Manager" and removed his name from it. Thats how it ended up in the "Managers" area. So I apologize for insinuating he might be a liar (and from what I know, the manager who received the package never wore them). And the reason I sent him really cute underwear is because all his underwear looked alike which gave the erroneous impression that he never changed his draws. Well regardless, the end result was the same: the shit got sent back to me hahaha. Now it looks like *I* have a cute set of draws, though they may be a little tight.

It stung a little that we couldnt be friends or at least cordial, but hey thats life I guess. And thats all I got to say about that.
