03:51 pm - The List of Love
I haven't done this in quite a while, ok, maybe ever, but I'm just going to write out a list of all sorts of things that I truly love. Not the obvious ones, like Thomas, but smaller things that often go unnoticed. Just things that I'm a big fan of and don't usually acknowledge.
#1 - Excel. Yup, I love spreadsheets and just being organized. I could list Access, SQL, and Oracle here too, but this'll do for now. Keeping lists of my different collections, books, DVDs, etc is so easy and I just appreciate it a lot...
#2 - Corn on the Cob skewers. Being part-cheddar and part-corn (Wisconsin/Iowa boy), yes, corn on the cob, direct from my backyard, was always one of my absolute favorite foods. And it's the one thing that I take no shame in slathering in as much damn butter and salt as I feel like - Bring on the heart attack! Well, no, but it's too damn good to go without... Then the neat freak in me (see #1 for more OCD evidence) likes to keep exceedingly clean when eating. I just love the little handles - Cute and practical, expecially for stabbing if there's only one ear of corn left. Hmmm... Would these be allowed in a carry on on a plane, or would they be suspect for hijacking purposes?
#3 - Drew from Big Brother 5. Starting to really get into this show and am ready to gouge away at my own eardrums every time the bimbo appears. But Drew just happens to be the finest piece of eye candy to come along in a while. All the guys walk around on the show shirtless most of the time.
Will, the gay one, is cute enough and I'm rooting for him, but have no desire for him - sorry. Scott, Jase, Cowboy and Drew make up the Four Horsemen (or as they're being called The Craftsmen, because of the high tool factor). Jase is an idiot, ok to look at, but exceedingly dense. Scott, former Playgirl model, is nicer to look at, but MORE dense, if that's possible. Plus having seen the magazine spread, ZERO desire on my part to see that again... ewwww... Cowboy, no. But I could more-truthfully-than-metaphorically eat dinner of Drew's scrumptous chest, ass, or anything else. Plus, he's SO DAMN SWEET most of the time, until the lugnuts start playing with his mind.
#4 - Courtney. I don't get to see this wonderful woman nearly enough, but can't stay away from her. She does some of the most wonderful blog entries, bar none, but they just aren't updated with her incisive wit nearly often enough. Plus, here's the kicker, more than anybody else in all of California, she has the intelligence, wit, style, and great looks of Kelly, my last girlfriend back in Iowa. I guarantee I would've married Kelly by now, if I hadn't um... well... you know.... Courtney reminds me so much of her, it's like having Kelly around here sometimes and that's a great thing.
#5 - My brother. Kevin and I are three years apart - I'm older by about three years. He and I are almost twins in many senses. He is still my best friend and I can trust him with anything. Plus we share the same sense of humor on virtually everything. I especially love the last thing he did to my mother. He is a high school Spanish teacher, and the class just got some additions to the decor of the room from my mom. Different Mexican flags, chili pepper wreaths, etc. So he had the class write letters (in Spanish, mind you) to my mom thanking her for the contributions.
Now, number one, Mom doesn't read Spanish or speak it either, except for a few key words (tortilla, taco, Enrique Iglesias, and the "La Cuckaracha" that can be programmed into their doorbell is about the extent of it). So the actual text of the letters would be rather useless to her. BUT HERE'S THE KICKER. Kev told his class that my mom's first name was Electra. Yup, Senora Electra Kleis from Baldwin, Iowa. Thirty letters to Electra later, I'm still laughing hysterically. I would love followers or minions like Kev's class, just to screw with their minds occasionally... he he he ....
#6 - Target. love that place. not occasionally ghetto like Wal-Mart can be. not foo-foo, shee-shee like Macys. Good everyday stuff, sometimes really cheap that usually works. not a huge Isaak Mizrahi (sp?) fan, but I can deal with that... Todd Oldham evens out the designer scales somewhat...
#7 - Aaron's still gone. Love this fact. He left without telling me about 3-4 weeks ago, apparently is in Oregon with his dad, and up until a day or two ago, I hadn't thought about him in almost a month. He has DVDs of mine I want back - NOW!!! The entire two weeks Thomas was away, I didn't once try calling him, cause I never once thought about him... I feel like there is absolutely ZERO drama or pressure on any of my social life anymore and it's SO WONDERFULLY LIBERATING!!!! I'm sure there are Crystal issues somewhere, but since she has successfully excorcised me from her own life, I'm not really caring anymore. If individuals like Crystal and Aaron decide they want to try and live their lives without others caring about them, ok. I'm not going to make them care, so let them go on ahead without me. I'll just care that much more about the friends I do have. Go me!
#8 - I have a savings account. And there's some actual money in it too!!!! Not a horribly large amount yet, but a good start to keep saving for a vehicle in the future. And as there are very few actual items I'm looking to buy soon (bed frame being the only big ticket exception), I'm going to be able to keep saving quite a bit hopefully... Got some overtime on this paycheck and will have some more for the next two months, so that'll all help too. Plus, there are VERY FEW DVDs out there that I want right now, so only new releases are being purchased. It's good to have all my catalog stuff about done. September will have a few big DVD purchases (Star Wars trilogy, Hitchcock box set), but really I'm getting to save a bunch and am of the mindset that I want to stash money. No more burning holes in my pockets, just saving, and I like that...
#9 - My teeth. Had a dentist appt on Monday, and though there was a little bit of cavity in one place, I feel really great about being able to go back again in the future now that my insurance kicked in and it's paid for already!!!! Going to get a Sonicare here sometime soon, and have been brushing twice a day, a good strong 5-10 minutes each time, since Monday. I feel really confident again about my teeth, that with the insurance I won't be so hesitant to only go back whenever I feel I can afford it... Woo hoo!!!
More soon... LOVE COMMENTS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

03:26 pm - My survey...
02:27 pm - OH DEAR LORDY.... The blessings of being JB...
My dear sweet friend JB is blessed and should thank his lucky stars daily that he has a text-only mind. No real visual images when imagining things. I don't know how it works exactly, but I truly envy him (and by the way, Happy Birthday JB!!!)...
I'm super-envious today as I've been verbally assaulted by one of my transcriptionists at work. Now this is a 40 year old lady, who loves me to death, has this sultry voice and the twisted perverse mind of, oh, I don't know, Aaron... She has told me repeatedly about events that have occurred while she was getting high, made recommendations on how to make a bong out of an apple (she emailed me the actual diagram), and is very forthcoming with all other info too...
Today, as I fixed some files for her, she calls and tells me that with this super busy 1-2 months I'm having now at work, to 'throw one back for her'. Ok, fine, but she doesn't stop talking there...
I also need to remind people that, yes, I once was a regular straight guy and had girlfriends, was intimate and such... So, up until today, specificly 20 minutes ago, nothing - NOTHING - related to the female anatomy had really disgusted me or made me nauseous, as most things make Eric quiver with illness... This was a first.
***ALL READING BEYOND THIS, BEWARE***
Su told me that she went out with her boyfriend the other night drinking again, and said she was so stressed she needed to get laid like she was back when she was a virgin. She then relays that her boyfriend told her that this was impossible since her cherry has been pushed back so far up into her that it's now a taillight! She responded with, "At least they can now tell whether I'm coming or going."
***NASTINESS OVER***
EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW.... I'm still shaking. I don't really have the time at work now to type too much more, but HAD to get this out of my system and hopefully dilute the intense power of the images so I won't continuously feel like I need to shower.... I feel so dirty now...

10:37 am - Ugh... Another day...
Well, no update yesterday, as I felt kinda cruddy all day - Maybe I should eat more, he says to himself knowingly... ;)
Well, I had an interesting weekend - Not good interesting, mind you. Driving Thomas's car on Sat nite, I was hit and run by an irresponsible idiot just off of Willow Pass in Concord. He ran a red light, swiped the front of the car (removing the license plate and scraping up the bumper), then collided head on with another oncoming car. Both I and the other victim stopped to find him and get info, but this person had ditched the car up the block and run off somewhere unknown. There were three dance clubs on the block, so the police assume he/she went in one of those. Well, we did have a demolished vehicle we found that was left for dead, and it did have the license plates and registration in the glove compartment. There will be leads on this I'm sure, but now I'm still just a bit freaked out. I've been so damn cautious with Thomas's car and something STILL happens... I give up. I'm a bit shook and a might paranoid about anything else right now. Do have a bit of neck pain, but I was still having that before the accident too, so I doubt it's related.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be the start of my super hectic working for probably the next month. Not much time for much else but work, but I will be getting some overtime, so that's ok... Missing Thomas incredibly, but I'm almost home free... He's back in 5 days and I've survived the first 9 with only minor scarring...
More later, I promise...

02:38 pm - Good evening, but lonely...
Set up Bonnie and Georgia's new digital camera last night - Hooked it up to the system, installed the software, downloaded their 256 and 64 mg cards full, and burned them all to Cd for them too... They were just tickled, as my grandma would say. Bonnie and Georgia are two wonderful and sweet ladies, been together for close to 20 years, got married in SF in February when it was legal, and are as close to grandmothers to me as anybody else I've ever known. I love them both dearly...
They live in Oakland, near the zoo, off 580. NASTY traffic there about 5:30 at night... So, unfortunately, I missed my one chance to talk to Thomas in Fargo last night. We swapped messages, but hopefully we'll talk tonight for a while. He's been battling a cold there, as stress always makes him more succeptable to illness. But the message last night sounded cheerful and rested and much less groggy/sick than talking to him the day before.... I SO miss him...
Not really doing too much with the car, as I've had his wheels for this last week. Did do two trips to San Ramon (one Janet and one Eric) and the one trip to Bonnie/Georgia's in Oakland. Also out to Thomas's house to visit his mom and bring her a surprise of sweet cherries on Tuesday. But no real plans or needs to go anywhere really now. Probably will hit a used bookstore or two tonight or over the weekend, depends though on when Marisa gets back to me on when she'll be arriving and such...
Work is going well, but slow right now, which is OK... I'm just getting geared up for next week and the next month or so... It's going to be "Chromatic Hell" for me as another manager is out, post-surgery, and I'm getting my work load doubled or more...
Anybody impressed that I quoted the name of my favorite Stormtroopers of Death song in that last paragraph...? Nope, well, yeah, ne neither...
Going to dinner with Eric on Sunday and lunch with Gina on Monday, as these are both of their day's off... Nice to see them again soon... As I've heard very little about her at all recently, I hope Crystal is doing well and happy whereever she could possibly be anymore. Who knows...
Anxious about a possible upcoming duet at church with Nicole - Great girl with beautiful alto voice... Would LOVE to do anything with her, she's so talented...
Would love to get a bed frame here soon too - Need to use the storage space underneath it and just finally finish my bedroom off, as well... Plus, need somebody's assistance sometime to size and fit my trooper outfit - Yup, I'm a geek, but need help in assembling the correct fit - Maybe I'll try recruiting Marisa for a while... Or I could bribe Thomas eventually...
Still listening to Nina Gordon too - Former lead singer of Veruca Salt (remember "Seether" anyone?)... One of the, swear to God, 2-3 best entire all the way through best albums I own. Plus she's a total rock chick with corresponding attitude... And hot as hell... Yup, she's almost naked on the inside of the cd sleeve.... For some reason, she reminds me a lot of Marisa B, actually...
"Everyone knew the score, no one could ever trust us.
I could peel you like a pear, and God would call it justice.
We were bored there was nothing else to do.
Playing records and posing in the nude.
It was Dirty Minds so it was cool...
and i always thought i’d know you.
I remember you in Polaroids - The glitter and the glue and all that noise.
I should probably sorta miss you,. but I see you all the time in Polaroids."
LOVE nina...

10:29 am - Blatent naming of people in my journal...
Ok, from now on, going to name people all by actual name to avoid any further confusion. I love you all, whomever is bored enough to be reading this, but don't assume something is necessarily about you, be it good or bad, unless I say it's you specifically...
I'm sorry in advance if somebody is hurt by my giving names, but if I gotta, then I gotta...
Reevaluating "Aaron" as friend I tried to visit on Sunday...
All for now - More soon...

10:40 am - More general stuff...
Ok, so it seems to me that only a select few people are updating their online journals with any regularity anymore. I'm going to try and continue to be one of them. So, it's been an interesting couple days here...
Dropped Thomas at the airport about 11am on Saturday, so he won't be back until the 24th. Two weeks, I can handle, especially when it could've been 2-3 months apart. I have his car at the moment and it's wonderful being mobile again, for a little while at least. But I'd honestly rather have him here than anything else.
He got to Fargo, ND and immediately had both a thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch in effect. Yup, that's the midwest. He also seems to be navigating fairly well out there. He will say himself that he's got ZERO sense of direction, other than when in DisneyWorld. But he's got a decent hotel, lots of good restaurants nearby, and hopefully some good available down time in the evenings to rest.
Sat night, went out with Melissa and Janet for dinner to Cheesecake Factory in Palo Alto. Did church on Sunday and not too much else. Tried to surprise a friend, but didn't work out and am reevaluating some things there too now. I'm really glad that I'm over the 'high school sophomore' attitudes about friends anymore. I see it around sometimes and am pleased that my circle of people has changed to include more responsible and accountable people in it recently.
I nearly quit work after a MAJOR blow up there on Monday. Not getting too much into it, but I got ripped on unnecessarily and haven't been that offended and angry about it since a trip to see a rat about a year ago. Let's just say I have worse musical issues at my work than Eric does at his, and it erupted in the worst way possible.
Church choir practice tonight, helping out my dearest friends Bonnie and Georgia on Thursday with some computer problems and desperately looking forward to seeing Marisa over the weekend... More soon...

10:59 am - Endangering the sock-monkey and pretzel industries...
The following is cut/pasted directly from a Yahoo! headline - Just the headline and first paragraph...
Expert: AIDS Could Breed Africa Terrorism
28 minutes ago
DUBUQUE, Iowa - If African nations lose the war against AIDS (news - web sites), the continent risks becoming the next breeding ground for international terrorists such as al-Qaeda operatives, an American diplomat said this week.
Me again - Now, I understand the worry behind the story here. What is causing me such extreme pain right now is the fact that somehow AP and Yahoo! are getting their news on African AIDS battles and terrorism's next homeland from DUBUQUE, IOWA!!!
Ok, I'm a Dubuquian, having lived there for the duration of college and then another 4 years beyond that. There is no terrorism in Dubuque. There is no United Nations Field Office in Dubuque. No Nigerian Embassy ever considered Dubuque for its US locale. (Unless they're just trying to get closer to Pickle Barrel Subs, best anywhere, or the chicken alfredo pizza down in Asbury area...)
How much could Dubuque (yes, home of the damn hams...) have changed in the last year to become such a major player on the world scene? Last I knew, the mayor was elected for a second term because nobody felt like running against him! The airport has never had a plane with more than 30 seats there, and are still in a quandry about what to do if the ONE luggage conveyer ever breaks down.
I feel I need to warn my parents now. Dubuque is drawing way too much attention to itself by submitting analysis like this to national news agencies. Al-Quida isn't privy to my knowledge of Dubuque and will now be considering the city (the intersection of three states and the Mississippi River) a major hub of pro-American activity.
By taking out Dubuque, the Iowa ham industry, the Wisconsin cheese industry, and the nearby Rockford, Illinois pretzel and sock-monkey industries, they'll beat the entire USA in one fell swoop. Plus Lock and Dam #12 and 13 on the Mississippi are some of the most important barge traffic stops anywhere... Well, within about an hour's drive anyway...
Mom and Dad, evacuate immediately. Bin Laden knows the secrets Dubuque holds because of some reckless reporter. Pack away the plutonium, hide the Death Star plans, and get the pigs in the bomb shelter immediately. We're all under attack!!!!
Jul. 6th, 2004
04:05 pm - Ok, I'm back again...
Just had a brief diabetic reaction/low blood sugar here at work, so I'm taking a break for a few minutes to let the Gatorade take effect... Time to vent/rant/update here then too, as I have a few minutes... My fingers are still shaky though, so this first paragraph has taken a damn long time to write, as I'm making lots of mistakes/typos I'm correcting along the way...
#1 - Wasn't able to get hold of Mom and Dad on Sunday, Monday, or today yet either... Those crazy kids are probably out somewhere having a good time - I miss them and though there's nothing HUGE to talk about, I just wanted to talk... :(
#2 - Stupid online petitions - Seen two of these in the last two days. One is a petition to send to Jake Gyl. and Kirsten Dunst to make a sex tape and release it publicly. Oh, good lordy... What the hell are people thinking...? The other is (brace yourself, Eric) from some of my HTF friends who are trying to petition to get Small Wonder released on DVD... Apparently the show is in dispute over the rights, but honestly, I don't even think the stars of the damn thing want to remember the hell that was Small Wonder... I give up.
#3 - Thomas leaving. This is good news, as he's no longer leaving for 2-3 months, but 2 weeks. Much better. Not glad he'll be gone, but I can survive this much easier. Taking him to airport on Saturday.
More soon...
Jul. 2nd, 2004
10:27 am - Took JB's quiz... Yup, pretty right on here...
You are an SEDF--Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting.
Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack. Few of your peers know you very well--even those you have known a long time--because you have expert control of the face you put forth to the world. You prefer to observe, calculate, discern and decide. Your decisions are final, and your desire to be right is impenetrable.
You are not to be messed with. You may explode.
09:51 am - Hallelujah!!!! and crud....
Jack Valenti named a replacement and is RETIRING IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!
Oh, happy day...
Marlon Brando just passed away this last night...
Oh, depressing day...
It's Friday and I'm going to see Thomas for three days in a row!!!
Oh, joyous day...
Thomas is leaving July 19th for possibly two full months...
Oh, crappy day...
I will be able to use his car for a while during his trip...
Oh, non-bus-riding, able-to-get-groceries, wonderful day...
Not going to be able to go to Iowa over Labor Day weekend anymore...
Oh, pissy day...
I'm still completely and totally in love...
The rest is all minor...
Jun. 30th, 2004
04:15 pm - More randomness...
Ok, not too much going on currently, but I feel the need to type since I'm done with everything at work and just sitting by, twiddling my thumbs for the time to pass so Thomas will get here and we go see Spidey Dos...
Aaron is back in the hospital, or not at the time of this typing. He should be there for a very long time. Steps should be taken to ensure he doesn't do this to himself again. He won't do it. His mom won't do it. I, being a friend, have no authority to do it, except continue to scream til I'm blue in the face to Aaron and his mom to *&$%)#$*^&% do something...
But, I'm not going to anymore. Too much drama for even me to handle. If I were to meet him now, as opposed to the wholly different person I met almost five years ago, I wouldn't even want to know him. From his lack of apparent caring for his mother's wishes and other's that care about him, Aaron has earned my complete indifference at this point. As soon as the b*$T#*D is out and reasonably well, I'm cutting it off. It'll be harder telling his mom this than telling Aaron, actually. Sure, I'll miss him, but I already miss him - The active, friendly, ambitious, drug and alcohol free, employed person I used to know. This current thing in place of Aaron, nope, won't miss that.
Well, big congrats to Marisa on graduation and her big trip to Bahston (spelling intentional, it's that NE accent thing)... Going to be listening to the Boston Pops and watching the Fourth of July fireworks over the ships in Boston harbor - Sounds divine...
Also, congrats to Janet again, for passing the background check and completing all those nasty mental tests and such this week - Very cool, you're totally on your way....
Missing Eric's updates lately. Having computer problems down there, and I finally had a good talk with him on the phone a few days ago, but apparently the problem isn't fixed yet. Damn.
Thomas might now have to spend 2-3 months in Fargo, ND instead of the previously expected one month. Ok, um, this will bite HARD... Sucks out loud... Nothing I can do about it obviously, but that doesn't mean I have to like it... And it'll probably be starting within the next three weeks or so... Gotta run - He's here... More later... B
Jun. 25th, 2004
01:31 pm - I'm just weird, as if you all didn't know...
Ok, I think I set a new type of record for gastronomical fanaticism...
I was eating a HungryMan frozen dinner (Pot Roast w/veggies, mashed potatoes, and some apple cobblerish thing) and went too far. Now, to save money on eating out constantly, I do eat frozen dinners fairly regularly at home. Many of the Marie Callendar meals are really good and can be had on sale for about $2 per meal... Not too bad...
I'm also addicted to the Food Network and love the finer foods. Normally, this would be in direct opposition to eating frozen dinners, but my thriftiness wins out over exceptional taste in this instance. Here's where I turned to the Dark Side.
I used imported white truffle oil on my frozen dinner mashed potatoes.
I've used it before on veggies and potatoes, but REAL stuff, not frozen. I equate this to the super ultra deluxe version of the Showgirls DVD set coming out soon. Also kinda like putting haggis on a silver platter with little parsley garnish and trying to make it appetizing. It's just not right. There's a saying - You can't spit shine a turd. I've also heard - Goldplated crap is still crap.
I also equate it to making a roux into a full mother bechamel sauce to serve over dead pigeon. "Creme de bechamel with blanched arugula and thyme over squab le gutter"
Got to see Eric for about ten minutes last weekend finally for the first time in over a month. Too short to really talk about anything going on. And Janet passed her background check!!! WOO HOO!!! very cool for her - going to dinner on Sunday with her...
Thomas and I were in SF last night for his Xmas gift - Big dinner at Cheesecake Factory and floor seats for Lion King!!! He really liked it and I did too, but honestly, I just like being around him more than whatever it is we end up doing. I could sit with him for an hour in the Kaiser Pharmacy waiting for the pharmacist to figure out my prescription on a Friday night (and I have) and still not be too bothered just cause he's there... Now, he probably hated it, but he did put up with it at least... ;)
Hopefully seeing Farenheit 9/11 sometime this weekend, tonight or tomorrow... Church on Sunday, dinner with Janet Sunday and back to the grind on Monday... More soon - Sorry about the length of time since the last post - Astound lost their connection to my apt. complex and I didn't have cable or internet at home for 10 days... SUCKED OUT LOUD...
