the city smoked from the attack

Late night odds and ends.

nope, i’m not having trouble sleeping again… i just realized that i’ve enjoyed getting thoughts written down the past few thursday nights/friday mornings, so i think i’m going to make it a habit. well, as long as i still have things to say.

may be going on yet another trip this weekend. that’ll make it 5 vacations this year… not too shabby.

40+ years until i retire… if i retire at 65, it will be 2049. wow.

Please take this quick survey to see if you’re a good match to be my permanent life partner:

Question 1: Do you enjoy passionately singing along to Edwin McCain’s 1998 hit single “I’ll Be”?
(a) Yes
(b) No

This concludes the survey. For each (a), you score 1 point. For each (b), you score 0 points. If your total score is 1 point, congratulations, we’re a match!

i’m in the mood for a deafening silence.

and now for something completely different:

the air becomes thin,
shadows cling to streetwalkers,
color fades away.

current mood: good

current music: vanessa carlton – hands on me

    I think your livejournal time is off. If you are typing this at night then I believe it should be 12am.

      good catch, that’s because livejournal uses 24-hour time… so 12 = noon, not midnight

        I greatly enjoy 24 hour time. it just makes more sense… why add all these random initials such as a.m and p.m . when you can just count to 24 to get the same effect.

        or maybe you’re just in a different space/time continuum than i am.

    The haiku reminds me that I would love to see the return of the cowsome loneboy.

      it’s been awhile since i’ve written anything remotely poetic, but occasionally a few lines i really like will pop into my head.

    ‘i’ll be’ will forever remind me of you.

    i believe we onced listened to it while going through the bank drive through at that plaza (what is it, golden gate?) by my mayfield house.

    Great tune.
    great times.

    Next time you go to Dave’s, can you pick up some more mustard? We’re down to just 3 bottles. Thanks.

    Also, you plan on retiring in 40 years? I’m pulling for 20 or 30.
