After a little time off...

Okay, so I know it's been a while since I've written a blog, but here goes. So today is Sarah's and my 6 "monthaversary". Gotta say, it feels like it's been much shorter than that and also much longer. I feel like we've known eachother for years and years, but the last 6 months has totally flown by. So anyway, I'm totally happy and I figure I'm the luckiest guy around.

On another front, we're leaving tomorrow for Standish Hickey State Park, where we will spend the night and then head to Shelter Cove at the southern end of the Lost Coast in Humbodlt and Mendicino Counties. Then we'll catch a shuttle and embark on a three days backpacking trip ending with a night in Healdsburg. Should be fun...there'll be tons of photos! Back to the blog next week...

4 month old, ODMBNM seeking...

What follows is a possible personal ad that our cat might put up on the "Casual Encounters" section of Craig's List. Yes Sarah and I like to read the largely pathetic attempts to hook up that people post and yes I write way too many blog entries about my cat. If you think this is bad, wait till I have kids!

Hey everyone out there in cyber space, I'm a 4 month old ODMBNM (orange, domestic, mixed breed, neutered male) seeking a comfy pair of broken in jeans for a one night stand. I'm kind of new at this so I'll just start out tell you what our night would be like. You'd come over and lay in a crumpled pile on the floor at the foot of the bed and I'd saunter in, caked with cat sand sticking to my fur, still wet from sitting in the empty bath tub. I'd come over and curl up and fall asleep. Then I'd wake up, stretch a little and move into the kitchen where I'd take a single crunchie and chase it around the house before eating it. Then maybe I'd chase a sock, I'm still not sure yet. Anyway, if you're a hot pair of denims and want to hook up, shoot me an e-mail! Hope to hear from you soon!

A quarter century old!

Wow, well, as my brother so kindly reminded me, I'm halfway to 50 now :) Actually I gotta say, this has to have been the best birthday I've had so far. It was really nice to get a chance to spend time with friends and family to celebrate. I think I also feel like I've finally got a lot of my shit together. I'm happy where I am in my job, sure it's not a fire department yet, but I'm making good money and enjoying myself. I have an amazing girlfriend who means the world to me. I have a close knit core of friends to keep me company and I've finally stopped acting like an ass to my parents. It's like in the last maybe two years I've suddenly reach adulthood and it's not too bad :) Sure there are still days where I'd rather not have any responsibilities, but all in all, I'm in a really good place. Thanks to everyone for supporting me and for coming out for dinner!

Requiem For a Toy

Okay, this is probably one of the better jobs I've seen of combining movies...helps if you've seen them, especially Requiem for a Dream, but still, really impressive...enjoy!

The cat hates me now!

Well I would pretty pissed if someone grabbed me, threw me in a cage and sent me to a bunch of strangers to have my testicles cut off, so I can see where he's coming from. Then, of course, to make matters worse, I'm the one who gets to give him his antibiotics, which involves luring him into a false sense of security, tackling him, holding him on his back, prying his mouth open and feeding him the (probably horrible tasting) antibiotics. Then of course he runs away and won't come near me for another 12 hours, which is just in time for the next dose. No wonder he's getting hand shy. Oh well, hopefully it won't last forever...

Well not much going on, which is why I've been saving this post...enjoy!

I'VE GOT A FEVER!

Okay so maybe Cupid's not that bad after all...

I know, I know, I never thought I'd say this, but really, Valentine's Day isn't all bad. I guess once you finally find someone you care about, the fact that the holiday is totally fabricated to sell more cards doesn't seem to matter that much. So that being said, I guess I'm hooked, who'da thunk it?
