NYE
I haven’t been to a New Years Eve Party since 2003-4 when I hosted one. It was a themed party that got out of hand and was responsible for the demise of definitely one and possibly two relationships.
I have photos and videos that I WON’T post for the sake of the not so innocent.
Every year since has been mellow. ‘04-‘05 I proposed to my wife. ’05-‘06 I was...

Driving north on 99 towards Sacramento.
Listening to Blue and Green by Miles Davis.
Watching a thousand Starlings swarm through a patch of blue sky framed by charcoal grey rain clouds.
It was only a moment but it was a perfect moment.

I went from A Good Idea (Sugar) to A Leper with the Face of a Baby Girl (Mike Patton).
I just went insane for a little while.

The Batteries for her toys.
Me: This toy needs AAA batteries.
The Missus: There are some in the drawer.
Me: Nope, none here. What do we have that uses AAA batteries?
The Missus: We are not taking 'my' batteries for their toys.
Me: oh....works for me.

Home
I’ve made it home. I posted earlier about peak and all it’s Glory. This is my 15th Christmas with The United and like I said earlier it was a good one all in all. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it home before my kids were asleep so I hope they’re having dreams of sugar plums and nice things.
I’m going to try to relax for an hour or so and then start the...
Peak.
For those of you that don’t know I work for a big delivery company. (The ones in the brown trucks.)
This time of year is not the most fun. We call it ‘Peak Season’ and we start planning for this time of year in September.
This year has been one of the better Peak seasons I’ve had. It went relatively smooth and I only pulled out a little hair. My team did a good job...

I’m listening to my music collection in alphabetical order by song.
Any guesses on which letter I’ll get too before I give up?

Excerpt II
In the beginning they made promises. To always remember this feeling. To give everything They had to stay a single entity.
They had reached the point now where they were both too far from the middle to meet. No amount of trying could carry them forward now.
Excerpt
Together their voices were chant like as they exchanged words back and forth with ever decreasing volume until the thoughts ceased to exist and they lay together in a trance state. The world, a collection of breaking glass and brutal extremes, could not touch them in these moments.
I walked in to my home after a long day of work to discover a large wooden crate marked ‘fragile’ in front of the Christmas tree. I opened the crate cautiously and, much to my dismay, discovered it contained exactly what I thought it would: A leg lamp. My sister in law spent a tremendous amount of money on something I can’t even begin to imagine what to do with. It will be...

the greatest post in the world.
This is just a tribute.
I have nothing but time and what I’ve learned is that time, without purpose, is destructive to the mind and body.
Watch Instantly
Going through whats available on Netflix and I see Harry and the Hendersons. I slow my scroll, move the cursor towards the ‘play now’ button and, just before clicking, I stop. No, Clint. Not now. It’s best to remember it in all it’s sepia tones and nostalgic romances. Let it be. Don’t let the cynicism of age ruin this gem of your youth.

It most definitely is. I suppose this is Katie’s way of ‘leaving a meatloaf in the freezer’ while her and the kids are in Dana Point doing the extended family Christmas party thing.

Handwriting
My handwriting is not the best but for the most part it is legible. I am old enough to have existed in a time when the primary means of communicating was either with a typewriter or by writing something by hand.
I bought a new pen the other day and it writes really well. Since I purchased that pen I’ve been writing a lot. No treatise on the state of man or anything but just writing to...

Oh, by the way, IF I OWNED those swirly vagina vortexes, you would all have received your invitations to the swirly Tumblr Castle of Awesomesauceness and Frivolity where we would all live...

Another bachelor weekend.
Please, entertain me. The Missus and childrens are in Orange County for the weekend for the family Christmas party and I get to work so I’m here. Cruising the intarweb because in all honesty, I’m a little lost without the family.

Dinner
When I eat a carrot I imagine screaming as I bite it because a carrot looks like a carrot.
When I eat a steak I imagine it tasting good. Because a steak looks like a steak and steak is goooooood.
Dated
I was talking with The Missus about the National Enquirer commericials that used to be on TV. She had no clue what I was talking about.
There are only 3 years between our ages but sometimes she makes those 3 years feel like 30.
Dear Person who sends daily emails to remind me to...
I find it entertaining that you believe your crap doesn’t stink. If I may quote you when you said ‘Even here in the San Francisco building I have come across —— where the contacts of the —— were very dirty.’
Let me be the first to say that I am amazed they have dirt in San Francisco.

…………… oh, I get it. ……sadly.
I swear to you this was real. I remember it being overall pretty good. I mostly want to hear the song again for that line.
Crips Tonight
There is a song out there. It was rap. I heard it in the late 90’s. I don’t remember who it was by.
I just remember that there was a line in it about how Superman wouldn’t go to the hood because his weakness was ‘Crips Tonight’.

Grades
One of my people is going to school and working towards their associates degree. At 46, he’s a little rusty as a student and has some learning disabilities as well which make it difficult for him to learn. He works extremely hard and does get good grades despite working in a place that often demands 12 to 13 hour days.
In a previous life I was an educator. I taught High School English...
