I bought some... supplies... as it were... for Friday night. Some friends and I are going to see James Zabiela dj at a club here in SF.

I took off to go visit my guy and put the bag in my jacket pocket. I told myself to put the bag in my sock drawer when I got home and thought, wouldn't it be funny if I forgot and accidentally brought it to work with me?

Guess who's sitting here with 10 hits in his office...

hahahaha yea same almost happened to me. Thats why i had a friend personally drive me home to make sure our 28 made it home safe and sound :D

Mmmmm... great night last night...

She made me feel 22 again...

aren't you 23?

(kidding-for the record)

At the moment I shall decline to state my age, thank you very much. But I'm under 30. ;-)

He's 29 1/2 years! ;-)

and i turn 18 in six days!

finally =)

It's 2:14 in the morning!

I went to the fridge and and took out some beef to make hamburgers. Just got really hungry since my last eat at lunchbreak yesterday. Long day at work too.

I love wandering around in the kitchen at these times at night cause its peaceful for me to cook and just to reflect on the monstrosities and the joyous pamperings of life, as well as the good things to come and the obstacles I might face soon. I look outside the window and see nothing but dark houses and street lights that are barely lit. Its quiet in the house and everyone except me is asleep and sometimes you can even hear the most faintest of noises. Sometimes I can hear the one lonely car that passes by my street every hour, and wonder where is that car going or where is that car coming from. Its these silent moments that make me feel that people wish they could stay in their beds and drift off to slumber instead of driving off to work or rushing to the hospital at 2:14 in the morning.

I don't turn on the TV with the volume lowered or hit the internet, I just walk around the house with my burger with two patties, cheese, lettuce, extra cheese, tomato, more cheese, and kind of just stand back and enjoy this silence that this earth rarely gives to some of the nocturnal residents. After a few bites of my burger, I realized that the living room looks so vacant and lacking of more furniture. My brown couch now has the color of a dark charcoal in the midst of all this darkness with a hint of illumination from the moon that glows like a pearl that watches and acts like a small flashlight if we should ever be walking outside and watching our steps.

The burger is now an afterthought so I'll kettle some hot water for my tea and wait for the whistling to come. Black tea or Green tea is the usual debate at this time of night. I grab my Starbuck mug that I had since 2002 and slowly take it out of the cabinet door as it tends to creak if you open it too fast. The tea and hot water create this warmth inside both hands as I caress my mug with such handling that I forget that its too hot and quickly hold it by the handle instead. I go to my room and sit on my bed, knowing that I'll be going back to sleep again while slowly sipping my tea. I placed the mug on my nightstand and laid back comfortably on my bedsheets and stared at the ceiling as if the roof was removed and all the stars came out to my house and paid some tribute to me by forming spectacle formations and abstract constellations. I feel even more peaceful now than I did before I woke up. I slowly went off to a meditative doze, knowing that I was ready to be sent off for another several hours of being in a house that's disturbance-free and knowing that the world still keeps on spinning after midnight.

inchem.......that is one of the most poetic posts I have read in a while. Thank You! It reminds me of when I used to work nights at the airport. The stillness of late nights can be an amazing feeling.

Nice bit of prose there, hombre. Thanks. :)

As for me, wow... lots of things going on. I'll write more later. Right now I'm trying to maintain damage control on a small fuckup last week at work, but I think it will be okay.

Alright--here's what's going on with me:

1. My girlfriend and I are breaking up. It's going to be a longer process than I want, but alas, it's sort of the way things need to go right now. Her mom is dying and she needs the support. I still love her and, in the end, I want to be with her, and I have a feeling we'll end up back together after a rather lengthy separation.

2. I've decided to take the LSAT in September and go to law school next year. A lot of work, but it's about time I take the initiative.

3. Apparently my self-direction is having a positive effect on my ability to pick up on girls...

wooot for your final point pooter :P

goodluck with the exam to get into law

Very nice, inchem! What you wrote up there reminds me of those rare occasions when I manage to make it up way past my bed time, or wake up long before I normally would. Love those times when it seems the whole world is asleep except for you - they tend to have an amazing ability to simultaneously bring about moments of self reflection, clarity, resolve and peace.

I'll cook a Vegiburger in your case Whirls !

Hard decision there Poot. Sacrificing your love so she can be with her mom takes alot of courage. But at the same time your making the big step-up to law school. That's such a difficult undertaking for you but it seems your ready to move on already in a positive direction.

It seems kind of like those fighting games out there, but for you, it seems like Pooter vs. The World...one round....no time limit...no continues!

Give it a KO for me Pooter! :P

So to all us North American folk here....

Happy Canada DAY!!!!!

and for you down south.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!! in 3 days

Gonna try the Chems Ipod Experiment with Fireworks tonight (aka Whirlys Space Mountain experiment). Should I go Saturate or TPPR?

I was thinking Burst Generator...

Sore throat/swollen lymph nodes/fever/body aches

It hasn't been a fun last three days or so. I'm finally feeling okay today, but the lymph nodes are still swollen. :-(

Other than that, going to visit a significant friend today to say hi...

Fuji Rock memory news for me.

I just found out Kiyoshiro Imawano Died of complications due to lung cancer a few months back. He is this Japanese version of Mick Jagger who was in influential Japanese Punk bands like RC Succession.

He was one of the legends of Fuji Rock, along with the Chems, and Joe Strummer. I saw him in 2004 right before the chems went on to play. It was a weird surreal experience that just astounded me. I just couldn't turn away the whole time. He had such onstage presence. He was supposed to play last year when I went but he got sick again. There was a tent outside the campsite that people were signing to send to him. I signed it in english and Japanese with a big Canadian maple leaf on it. RIP to a Japanese Legend.

Here is part of the performance I saw him play at Fuji Rock in 2004

and Dexpistols doing a tribute to him last year again at Fuij Rock (I was one revellers singing along up front)

I learnt something two days ago.

Don't disturb your parents, after midnight, on the day the 20th anniversary of their wedding >_<

rotfl

My condolences, Maboul.

So, the visit with the significant friend was called off, but I didn't sleep alone last night...

I don't know how much of my love life I should post here, but I suppose the general bullshit chat is the appropriate place. Two on the way out, one who is new and one who is old, and another, different old one on the backburner... And I have a feeling some more new ones are on the way... but it's just a feeling.

Forgive me if I sound like an ass--I've just never been as successful in the dating sphere as I have right now.
