This entry has a great deal to do with the very cunty mood I've been in this week, but it also owes a bit of gratitude to the complete unraveling of the purpose of this page. I am fed up with censoring myself to abide by my own rules and am therefore opting to start anew at an alternate location.
My new year is approaching quickly and this time around it is going to be newer than ever before. I am due for a major overhaul and that will not be chronicled here because I could frankly do without the scrutiny. I will say one thing though, there will be no looking back.

Pinky told me this morning that she has had a sense of impending positive change lately and was thinking of visiting a psychic to see what was up. Then an advertisement for an astrology book arrived in the mail and she took that as a sign. She went to the web site and was so astonished by the first paragraph of her horoscope she had to stop and catch her breath. While I don't put much faith in these sort of things, I do think they can be very fun and decided to check mine as well. Here is my opening paragraph:
Very few people seem to have any idea what pressure you've been through in the last year or so. My GAWD! How on earth have you been keeping such a great face on top of it all?
I had to pause and catch my breath.

Fergie and I have so many things we enjoy together. I believe our living relationship is the first I have experienced where we both groove together on so many tracks. We don't conflict on much and afford each other the luxury of just being ourselves. Of course, we do have our differences; several, in fact. I suspect that I am more aware of them than he, but that is most likely due to my many more years of experience with life on this planet. One of our many clashes is over Sex And The City. He vehemently declares that it is just a vehicle for women to lament over not having husbands while I believe it to be a very deep and meaningful glance into the souls of all emotionally aware individuals on a quest for love. Do not for a minute believe that either one of us is naive, rather entertain the notion that in this particular regard he is a raging pessimist and I am a relentless optimist. Beyond that I enjoy the presentation of these things while I suspect that he is somewhat thrown off by them due to his particular situation. That, of course, is nothing for discussion in this forum; however, I believe his Bac-O-Bits taste is in for a surprise on the arrival of real crumbled bacon.

There's a big difference between simply picking your nose and outright strip-mining! And remember, even though people cut you off regularly on the road, that does not mean you are invisible. So pull those three fingers out of your nostril and pay attention!
While I'm at it, be careful how you define happiness. You might just short change yourself and later realize that you were already happy before you established such rigid parameters.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Ma sent me the plans my aunt drew up for the guest house she's planning to build for me and my brother. It so rocks! I love that there is only one interior door. Oh, and there's a killer view off the patio because the guest house will be above the main house. Sweet!

Today I definitely overtasked myself. It's like the old days of running non-stop between three workstations unable to keep up with my own goals. It's awesome except the office in general is also quite busy and I have to keep waking everybody else up to remind them of that.
In a related story, why are half the people I know not working today? All these people keep responding to e-mail messages that I would just as soon go unread for a day or two. When it rains it pours.

The highlight of my weekend was spending Saturday afternoon and evening with Johnny. Even with high expectations he always dazzles me. Happy birthday, sexy!!

An excerpt from my lunch conversation with my CounterPart today:
C: The tina problem in this community is just crazy these days.
J: Yeah, it's disgusting.
C: What are you talking about? You recently found yourself masturbating for four hours as a result of that crap.
J: Well, I do sort of have a tina problem, you know.
C: What? How long has this been going on.
J: It hasn't been "going on" at all, I just can't say no to the stuff.
C: Isn't that a problem in itself?
J: Not really, when you consider I've only not said no on two occasions in the past year.
C: Each with rather ridiculous results if I recall correctly.
J: Correct. I'm a very compulsive person. I make poor choices sometimes. However, I should point out that my compulsion applies to just about everything that isn't good for me. A pint of Ben & Jerry's, a bag of Doritos or a fifth of vodka - all one sitting consumption for me. It's very rare for me to turn down anything offered to me.
C: Coke?
J: Obviously.
[pause]
J: Both.
