it has been a new year for me.

I am older - and in no way has it made me wiser. I am more cautious; a little heavier around the middle (I blame hapiness and generally richer foods) wow. I never thought that I would be able to say that at my age I wish for MORE stability - but in its own way stability makes me feel more comforted simply because it allows apathy - it encourages it even.

I miss apathy.

Who am I kidding. I like a regular paycheck.

on the hunt again for work has made me realize how much random shit I have laying around the house that I have never gotten to.

you know what I mean...that pile of papers you'd like to call junk, but the power company, the phone company and the cable company like to call bills and last notices? not to mention the requisite thank you letters that you're supposed to be sending to all those people who actually remembered you this year and gave you presents - not not just the ones who are supposed to send you things but the unexpected ones who did as well this year.

nevermind cleaning up. GOD damned this infernal desire to make sure that things don't start growing on my clothes - or inside of my pantry. Shit.

It's also amazing to see how much money you can loose by just living. It's incredible to see how much the cost of just plain living has gotten so much more expensive.

so - now out of work. now unemployed. again. shit.

I have choosen "poorly" as the movie line goes. fuck. Again. But I really can't be angry I knew it was coming I had more than ample time to prepare for this one, but it still hurts the paycheck when I suddenly don't get one anymore.

Unemployment line here I come ...

on the bright side - I only had to wake up at 7:30 am to move my car for street cleaning. Cool. aaand I got several errands finished. I feel very proud of myself.

As an excuse I'm eating all the leftovers I can - while doing my tax preperation. Seems more than fair. Actually doesn't seem like I have enough food to make up for the money I'm going to have to pay out....


death and taxes - the only two things in life we can be sure of.


christ.

Happy uneventful New Year!!!!

although soggy...It was an uneventful new year. Not much happened, except the brilliant idea to take a bottle of champagne and go to the top of a mall - to see the holiday fireworks.

and incidentally - whoever says that he weather people don't have it down is full of it. They "predicted" that it would start to rain at midnight, and on the dot - 12 am precisely it began to come down. It wasn't torrential or anything like that, but I'd like to think that it was earth's way of cleansing itself for the new year....Starting fresh maybe. Or some bullshit like that.

oh well...Me waxing philosophical at the turn of the new year already. Have fun nursing your hangovers today kiddies! (incidentally the BEST hangover cure? - Bloody Mary with McDonalds!! And maybe a bromo on the side)

Kisses to make up for the ones I missed last night!
