“If you’re artistic by nature, dear Capricorn, expect a rush of inspiration to hit you today – along with an irresistible compulsion to start a new project and work, work, work until you can see at least some results. If you’ve never been artistic before, you may suddenly feel like giving it a try – perhaps using computer technology. Whichever it is, you’re likely to derive a lot of pleasure from your work, so go to it – and have fun!“

So, a big DUH to the above. They are not usually so vague and general. barf me out!

No Deb, it was not all about you my dear. I was venting… people suck in this town and I just have to expect nothing from anyone. I just hope anyone I call a friend is someone I can anticipate (not expect) more from. Oh well… xo

okay… now that is off my mind. …and before going to bed. People are so disappointing and with all the other shit life hands us on a daily basis it sucks people and society is so sucky to each other. Ugh! I am grateful for my friends and the FEW people I actually call friends. …very few.

Right now I know someone who is being a good friend and our friendship is pretty cool, that is Jon. There are many other friends but I am getting sleepy… and lazy.

so… I have not been inspired to do any writing here in a while. Someone … SOMEONE… sent me an email demanding some kind of response. I never have time for anything anymore between trying to get a social life as well as all the other obligations i have. Between school and work and trying to get some gym time… ugh.

Dating is impossible in this town. Guys are all flakes and no one has a socially oriented brain in their head except those that are on their knees at Hawks Gym.

And then let’s talk about people being social in general… damn people here are lazy lazy lazy fucking people who sit around getting fat in thier homes instead of socializing with other people. No one keeps commitments. No one interacts with other humans unless they are getting something out of it. Society is sure fucked up!

It’s not just Vegas… it’s everywhere. People are lazy fuckers. People don;t develop friendships they develop acquaintances.

So, this is what has been bugging me lately.

“ Spirit and soul may seem out of balance today. A part of you may be longing to break from society and live a more spiritual life, but worldly responsibilities and attachment to your current lifestyle might get in your way. These things don’t happen overnight, dear Capricorn. You have to let them develop in their own way, in their own time. Right now the keyword is finding balance between the spiritual and the material.“

after my posting I read this. yeah, I can see it. These MSN horoscopes have been pretty amazing.

each week seems to blur into the other and I forget to make entries here. It actually feels better in the head to let out a little of my thoughts here and chill out a bit.

basically, I have been approaching this year thinking I have to maintain a healthier lifestyle of some kind. Got back on a multivitamin and my dhcp. I am trying to work out as often as I can… took a Pilates class and a nice Yoga class this week. Both of them left my midsection sore for half a week.

I work ft and got to school t-f so there are 4 days of the week that are extremely difficult to get in to the gym. i can get in for a quickie after school… ‘cept this week i have been racing home to put together my entries for the student art show at school.

I submitted 3 art pieces and all three were accepted. Fab-u-lous… although I might have popped my cork had any one of them not been selected. My entries are totally awesome and are all available on my working site for Achtung Media Design (see side for link). It should be interesting!!!! I hope to shine this year since I feel that my pieces were above par!

Life is… a bitch. but I am trying to manage and trying to keep on some kind of course. I don’t have the luxury of fantasizing about life right now.. like traveling or living in a new place. I am bound to life I have for the next year at least. Then what?

If all goes well I can do something next year. If I graduate in 2009 as scheduled then I will have a new piece of paper to go on with life. Then with the culmination of new student loans and cloudy prospects I can continue living paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meat happily ever after. ho-hum.

Without the freinds I have I would be in a dismal state. Thank God for Deb and Jon. If Chippy were here it would be such a blessing. Some of my freinds have really been there for me recently and it’s been a blessing. Adolfo is a phone call away, I can kibbitz with him on some things, but I will see him next week to meet up with Karen.

Some of my friends are so far away. If Keith were here… if Chippy… if Kaidy….

…heavy sigh

“Paperwork regarding financial matters may need to be executed at some point during the day, dear Capricorn. You’re in the mood for some adventure, perhaps physical, perhaps romantic. You might be tempted to participate in tricky sports such as river rafting or fast downhill skiing, or you might decide to attend some group meetings and see what opportunities for contacts – not to mention romantic partners! – could come your way. Take care! Have fun, but move ahead with caution.“

Yep – mars must be in my space again. Yet, I constantly meet guys who are unavailable to me. Isn’t that just the way. Guys who are coming my way are Libra, Sags, and Gemini’s … all of whom are not compatible. Oh, Aries guys have been showing up too… not them either.

I’m tired. I’m going to bed. Life sucks again. xo

“Today you could receive word of a promotion or an exciting new challenge at work. Though this is something you have wanted for a long time now, you may hesitate to accept immediately. Could it be because your self-confidence is rather low right now, dear Capricorn? Don’t let that stop you! This feeling is only temporary, while the opportunity could develop into something quite long-term. Don’t lose your chance!“

My god these horoscopes are freaky… too accurate sometimes. This is exactly how I feel… and at work I am being presented with a project they want me to do that could be pretty impressive. wow…

Today sucked. The whole day sucked. It sucked on top of sucked naked in an ice bath sucky. Aw fuck.

You know who got such a shitty send off last year. With shit-heads like Britney and others here is a woman who scrapped and fought to make a life for her son that he probably appreciated. But Anna was willing to do anything to make their lives something they would have never got when they were in Texas.

Love you Anna!

Daniel was a shy and seemingly humble kid. His mom certainly shinned bright, yet so much she may have become lost in the heavens. You all saw some of the freaks drawn to them, because they wanted to tap into that light.

blah blah blah… this year is finally over. I can say my lack of spirit was unmatched. I would say my lack of attention to Christmas would only be rivaled by Scrooge before the 3 ghosts. Bitter? no. Jaded? Hell Yeah! It has been a season of mixed blessings with my new job working out reasonable well, Tom’s glaucoma is awful, no serious dating, and barely making the bills right now. Ugh!

The good part was I had Christmas dinner with Deb; we had loin steaks and crab legs along with a yam puree I made. It was good and all.

Birthday was spent with buddy Jon ; we hung out a lot this weekend. We also went to go see National Treasure which was pretty good – or just better than I expected.

I redid my business site (link over there —> ) Achtung Media and Design… I have a lot more work to do on it but I’ll get to it soon. The kicker is I made a couple of really cool pieces in the Graphics Section!

Anyway… see you bitches in 2008.

Christmas was not at 3285 this year and I can say that I am pretty okay with that. It would have been better had I been able to either be with family or have spent time with someone I cared for (other than Tom). But, by the end of Christmas Day, I had Deb over for dinner. She said we were the two misfits who needed to spend the evening together.

Call me Herbie. ha ha ha – if you don’t get the reference then screw you. ha ha

2 nights ago I cooked for a family in Henderson and spent a lot of time preparing, but my centerpiece went to shit and I was mortified. I made a beautiful Terine and the crust cracked and broke down on me absolutely killing me. I rebound, forgot the green beans, ran a wide track but still made a successful dinner. The menu turned out to be:

– Turkey Galantine w/ Gravy
– Beef Tenderloin w/ Red Wine Sauce
– Sauted Yam Cuts
– Cream Leeks
– Potato Au Gratin w/ Marscapone Cheese
– Mac N Cheese for the Kids

I made some appetizers too:

– Shrimp Skewers with Caviar
– Baked Polenta with Bacon and Cheese

All ended up going well and for the first time I had to do the party w/o an assistant. It went fine. Although I wish certain people were available it all turned out okay.

Anyway – so my day yesterday was just cleaning up the apartment and getting the house in order. I also dared to go out and buy groceries… one store open in the area. Damn Christians have a stranglehold on the economy… bastards! ha ha ha

I digress, or better I deviate. Instead of doing practical things with the day I ended up goofing off a bit here and there. I met a guy recently and I am feeling he is not into me… no big deal. I’ll survive. And, I held off calling Adolfo because my feelings are still very raw toward him.

As much as Adolfo has been there for me since we broke up he has also left me behind and I feel unhappy about that. I know every time I broke up with someone I was serious about it took nearly a year to get past it. Maybe I am going through the same thing? Maybe I am fixating on what I don;t have anymore? Maybe it’s a good thing we are not together anymore – I am constantly running through the list in my head on the negatives and positive of an “us”. But, he has been good to me in the bigger picture.

Back to Christmas Day – Deb came over and we had some Tenderloin I had as well as some King Crab legs I picked up. I made a Potato Au Gratin and baked that off, yummy! The food had to be decadent!

She had a migraine and was suffering, but she still came over and left early to lay down. It was sweet of her to come over. I wanted John to come over,too, but he was working all evening.

So, I am trying to get some goals accomplished before school starts. Stay tuned… there is some cool things I am working on. xo
