So, I been sick. Yuck. Stomach sick. Extra Yuck.
And, Christmas is in like 5 days, and I’ve not yet gotten christmassy. Hmm.
I do have a fair amount of shopping done, however, which is more than we usually have done this far from christmas (yes, in my life, 5 days is still ‘far from christmas’).
I wanted to knit more scarfs for christmas, but at the rate I’m moving on the first one, I’ll be lucky if it gets done in time to wrap. *sigh*
My iTunes Party Shuffel just pulled “Word Up!” from somewhere. Weird.
Its damn cold today, but I’m gonna ride my bike tonight anyway. Its good to get the kinks out. I think I have enough clothes to keep myself warm. *fingers crossed*
Nice short work week this week. Today, tomorrow, and probably a real short day on Wednesday. Its one of my coworker dude’s birthday and also the last day before the holiday, so we’re thinking we’ll start celebrating at lunch 
allright .. maybe i’ll write more later .. now, i’m stumped ..

Here we sit, during what should be our lunch hour, in a meeting. The best of the best of the HBAS IT and finance minds are all gathered together to hear about our past, present and future. The goal – Information Exchange; personal communication to the lowly workers such as myself.

These days, people get so caught up with Christams, they forget what’s important. Nick passed this on to me:
Our Way of Life
“We are an exceptional model of the human race. We no longer know how to produce food. We no longer can heal ourselves. We no longer raise our young. We have forgotten the names of the stars, fail to notice the phases of the moon. We do not know the plants and they no longer protect us. We tell ourselves we are the most powerful specimens of our kind who have ever lived. But when the lights are off we are helpless. We cannot move without traffic signals. We must attend classes in order to learn by rote numbered steps toward love or how to breast-feed our baby. We justify anything, anything at all by the need to maintain our way of life. And then we go to the doctor and tell the professionals we have no life. We have a simple test for making decisions: our way of life, which we cleverly call our standard of living, must not change except to grow yet more grand. We have a simple reality we live with each and every day: our way of life is killing us.” From Blood Orchid by Charles Bowden

why do christmas socks make my feet sweat so much more than regular socks?
i find this to be a very frustrating side effect of such awesome socks ..
i now remember why i just don’t wear them very much .. i don’t like it when my feet sweat .. but i have so many cool pairs of christmas socks ..
this is just frustrating.

I’m tired of peole harshing by buzz all the damn time.
I thought I was on top of it all. Thought I was doing well, keeping the stress low for all the drama that’s been going on in my life lately. Figured, I’ll take the high road and just see how things play out.
So, I’ve been dealing. Very well, I thought. And now I’m just pissed. I’m pissed because all this drama in so many different places, and everyone wants to make things so complicated.
Why can’t we all just take each day for what it is? I mean, why do we care so much about what happens tomorrow? Shit, the good stuff is happening now, today. There may not be a tomorrow for fuck’s sake, so don’t fucking worry so much about it.
I want to let things hang .. see how things go .. this is how things are built, I think … just letting stuff happen.. hang out, have conversations, don’t have conversations .. just observe and move on… I can’t define how things will be, how things should be .. HOw constricting is that? To put such restrictions on friendship?
What’s funny is that there are so many things in my life that fit the description of my current conniption .. How come people can’t just chill the fuck out? Wouldn’t life be so much more enjoyable if we weren’t always thinking about what *could* happen? So many times we obsess over the outcome that the action never happens ..
Whatever .. maybe i’m just not meant for people .. i should just take my dogs and go away somewhere .. i can’t think of any better example of unconditional .. living for the moment .. not worrying about consequences than dogs .. they just want to be around you, they really don’t care about much else (well, that and they want to eat) ..
