  • black gold

    My apartment has a plumbing issue right now. The kitchen sink is overflowing with stinky black sludge. I would have believed that the loud girls upstairs dumped black paint down the drain, but the plumber said someone else dumped a bunch of grease. really There’s only one rule when it comes to kitchen sinks. won’t…

  • golden river of change

    happy new year. I’ve been on winter holiday vacation and I’m not ready for Monday return to work. The days off have been wonderful—lots of family, friends, foods, drinks, funnin’, etc. I didn’t set any resolutions for this year. Remember every year I try to do the splits and always get kind of close and…

  • stacking up

    Countdown to Christmas. I spent lots of time today wrapping gifts and tracking packages. Some won’t arrive until the 24th.

  • alpha type

    i accomplished a bit of Christmas shopping. When you find a good deal on a nice gift that you think the person will love, do you also buy that same item for yourself? I did today. And now it is sold out. I guess I’m not the only one who loves a shiny ______. i…

  • The fifth essence

    I’ve been thinking about my future. Some masters say there’s no point in worrying about the future—only the present moment is real. I’m not worrying, I’m just trying to form a plan. Kind of a complicated plan. I need to move, I need to secure large amounts of money, I need to build body mass,…

    Youtube says there are easy things you can do to make your body feel young again. I’ve been doing them—deep squatting, hanging on a pull-up bar, pushups. Also been eating like a bachelorette.

  • i was standing

    I haven’t been doing much lately. Been working a bunch, but outside of the office I’ve been pretty lazy. I have long to-do and shopping lists. Let’s say I’ve been resting. This morning, the apartment building manager sent an email saying there was free Starbucks in the lobby. i went downstairs in my pajamas and…

    Happy thanksgiving weekend. I hope you got to enjoy time off work, good food, and friends/family. i am in Elk Grove.

The greatest gift that eddie gave me is all the loving friends and family he brought into my life. Love lasts forever. Different…

    Vote for me and WiFi will be fast, free, and accessible to anyone anywhere. I was shut out of My temporary office in the top-floor club room because it was reserved for a special event.

  • take me to dan tana’s

    happy November. Another month. It doesn’t feel like fall time. Haven’t had a pumpkin spice latte (never ever), haven’t heard from any estranged exes, haven’t worn pants. I’ve been recovering after all the dodger win festivities, all the sake and sushi, all the lost sleep. Being a fan is hard work. Tonight I organized my…

  • a long way

    I slept all evening and through the early part of the night. I took a lot of steps on the walking pad and I was tired. Finally scheduled some of my routine health screening things. Isn’t it common for people to set their self-care aside when they’re preoccupied with taking care of someone else. The…
