My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

You Haven't Checked in with Your Probation Officer Things haven't been too smooth and fluid for me the last couple of weeks. Oh well. Shit happens. Life isn't always daisies and sugar plums. "You don't call... you don't write... you don't visit... blah blah blah..." I totally sympathize with my parents' desire to interface with their offspring, and I have come to terms that I am not the perfect son, but let's see... it's been a whopping six days since I've seen my parents face-to-face. The guilt trips get old and taxing. It would probably be easier if they just moved in with me, or if I packed ship and moved in with them. They mean well. They mean the world to me. But if I haven't been camping out at their house daily, eating pastitso, mousaka and lamb, there's usually good reason. Selfish or altruistic, there's always a good reason. Everything that I do has reason and purpose. Every decision I make is the right decision for me. All the time. Josh's Party at Dave & Buster's September 11, 2003 was Josh's 35th birthday. For some reason, we always seem to plan Josh's birthday too late, so the outcome has usually been grim... at least for the last three years. This year was different. Mitch got the ball rolling, I advertised the event, and Danielle did the manual footwork of setting up the logistics. The turnout was marvelous. In attendance were Josh (obviously), his friends Chris, Steve Jarnac, and John Wisner, Peter and Michelle, Linda Hamood, Jon Castellano and Dawn Allen, Mitch and Vesna Popovski, and Danielle and I. The gathering was great, and to many of the attendees, Linda Hamood was the life of the party. She was definitely out of her element, but by mid-night she had most of us busting at the seams with laughter. Good thing she loosened up with the brewskies. As the night came to a close, most of us headed home, but Josh, Steve, Chris and John headed out for some more entertainment. They invited ALL of us to go out and continue the venue, but most of us had to get up early in the morning. I'm just happy that the gathering was a success and people were merry. Perhaps Linda will hang out with us again in the future. I would definitely welcome it. Game Night at Chris Steele's Saturday night was Game Night at Chris Steele's. He's always a happy chap, and it's a treat to be in his company. He just purchased a condo around 23 Mile and I-94, and the interior looked marvelous! He definitely has an eye for interior decorating! The wall colors, color schemes, room themes, furniture and accessories were expert! I was jealous. Danielle and I will definitely ask him for advice when decorating our house. I DO have to recommend the game we played to everybody that reads this. The game was an interactive DVD game called scene it? that concentrated the questions and themes on movies and multimedia. There were also Trival Pursuit-style cards that asked a variety of questions, so you didn't get a movie clip all the time. This seemed to make the game a little more interesting, and didn't have you "movied-out" by the end of the night. In all seriousness, I could have played for a few more hours, but people were getting tired by 2AM. If you didn't click on the link above, I definitely recommend checking this game out on their website: http://www.sceneit.com. It's a "must-have" for any board-gamers out there that are looking for some multi-media fun. posted by Dino at 6:07 AM (permanent link) |
