One of Bourke's friends dropped off this snake today. She didn't tell me it's name so I don't know what to call it. Suggestions?

I came home to a message on the machine last night from a friend of Bourke’s from school. Sometime today we're adopting her 6 foot Boa Constrictor.

"Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?" Anyone?

I was supposed to drive

I was supposed to drive up north last night to visit my grandparents. However I found that my car has an oil leak in the head gasket. So now I’m stuck in town all alone trying to make the best of it. All my friends are busy today so I think I’ll hit the thrift stores and maybe work on juicing my computer a little bit today. Yeah... Computer work.... hmmm.....

Last night Bourke and I

Last night Bourke and I took a long drive around the apartment complex looking at all the furniture people are throwing away before they move out. So far we have picked up a nice end table and a big mirror. We're on the look out for a good fold out couch.

Addressing the picture on the left:
I never know how to pose for dressy pictures and often end up looking stiff and artificial. However, it's hard to look bad in a nice suit next to a beautiful girl.

I had a list of

I had a list of things I was going to do today. It wasn't a super exciting list but I was looking forward to completing it. I accomplished less than half of what I wanted to do because of this damn depression. Tonight I had an attack unlike any I've ever had before. I'm telling the world this because I feel it helps me sort out my problems. A sort of therapy for me. I spend an hour or so a day on my web page blogging, checking comments, and doing various chores. I'm suspending that for several days so I can devote more attention to getting mentally well again. Please don't worry about me, I have an appointment with the Doc on Thursday. I don't want this page to become a journal of how bad I've been feeling so I will start blogging again when I feel better. Thank you for your support. Until that day then...

After noticing my comments have been down all day I visited the site who hosts them for me. All I got was this message "Enetation is currently offline for a short while - no user accounts or user sites are affected by this." Obviously they are wrong, that does not make me happy.

It has come to my attention that there are a several people out there in cyber land who read my page but are wary of posting a comment. To these individuals I say please feel free to say something. Make your voice heard. You do not even have to use your real name if you don't want to.

Sometimes when I have something

Sometimes when I have something important to say to someone, I loose my nerve, and I just can't say it. At some point this weekend that happened. I'm not going to say who it was to or what it was about. However as anonymous as this can be I am making a promise to that person that I will eventually say this important thing. And when I finally do, I hope it hasn’t lost its meaning.

Just got back from Eric's bachelor party. I cleaned up at the poker table but had to cut the evening short due to an attack by my evil mistress known as depression.

My parents, Amber, and I ate a very nice relaxing dinner at Harpers brewery last night. It has been a while since I've been there sober, that was nice.

Please forgive the sluggishness of my page. The comment system is slowing things down quite a bit. However that should be taken care of by the end of this weekend. If not, I'm going to wipe it out and try something different.

Went to the Eaton County

Went to the Eaton County Fair last night to see a local band by the name of Anna Nimity. Any band that plays BNL, Janis Joplin, Sinatra, and Poison all in the same set is okay with me. On top of that, they had great original music as well.

I finished writing a rather interesting short story last night. It's a conversation between the characters that Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta play in Pulp Fiction. The interesting thing is they are talking about me and my life. I had a lot of fun writing it but wish it would have turned out a little less self righteous. At any rate it feels good to be writing with some regularity again.

After wrestling with this for a little while I feel that it is time I tell the world that I have stopped drinking. After several bad incidents, a little help from a friend, and a long talk with my shrink about the effects of alcohol on a depressed mind, I made the decision to completely avoid alcohol. That was about a month ago.

Message From Amber:
John's weekend was very relaxing so I hear. We watched Return of the Killer Tomatoes today. Apparently John thinks it's the best movie ever. I on the other hand, have a different opinion. : ) Any thoughts?

I'm getting away for the weekend. Heading up North later today and won't be back until Sunday so most likely I won't blog for a couple of days. I feel a depression coming on and hope this little trip will help ward it off. So many good memories up there.

Tell me about your good memories.

Took Amber to the Sharp

Took Amber to the Sharp Park fireworks last night. The show turned out great even though a shot was misfired and exploded in the crowd during the Grand Finale. Nobody was hurt, but it did get the adrenalin pumping for a few minutes.

I just caught myself singing Deuces Wild by Aerosmith to the tune of Scarlet Begonias by The Grateful Dead this morning. Try it, it's fun.
