Tomorrow morning I'm leaving on a 14 day interstate sojourn.
Firstly, a nine hour drive north, then some days in Sydney. Then another nine hours north and some time in Brisbane. Then back south to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay and then Sydney again and finally home.


What are you people up to?

I'll be hangin' in the bathtub with a razorblade and sleeping pills, trying to decide whether to decorate in red, green, or bothİ

Not reallyİ But I do hate the holidays and try to ignore them as much as possibleİ

Dude, I think you have to face the fact that you have a problem. You appear to be addicted to the copyright symbol.

Get some help man.

Something wierd is happeningİ I can't get in here in internet Explorer, and Navigator pulls that period turns into a copyright symbol crap on meİ I don't understand it at allİ How do my commas and apostrophes look? For that matter, how about my question marks?

Your punctuation on the whole is fine. It's the full stop that appears to be your problem.

Gremlins, obviously.

For christmass I would like......

I would also like to butt feck Jennifer Lopez on a balcony of a tropical resort while paratzi take pictures. I'll go from feeling like a stud to wondering if my grandmother is watching the news and how embarassing that would be to get a call from her on the cell phone...while in the act. I'd say that It wasn't me as I gripped JLo by the hips. The voice of my grandmother would freak me out considering I'd be screwing and maybe I'd go soft, and then the Paparatzi would click as my limp shrink wrapped **** fell out and I would be scorned by men and women alike .. Maybe I should ask Santa for therapy. Obviously I've got some Catholic guilt.

but instead I'll visit my family and the new dog and experience the warm glow of family and yule tide bliss. it will be wholesome and we'll talk about Jesus and the symbolism of great gifts coming in humble wrappings like Jesus in the manger.

I took the whole week between Christmas and New Year's off, and I'm getting my on-call week out of the way this week, so I'll be spending roughly half my time at the gym, and half partying it up with my brother and sister, since they're both home from college.
