it was a melancholy day...but now it's 2009.

I've been trying to decide, do I do a list of the things I love?  New Year's Resolutions?  Best memories of the year?

Finally, I decided.  I'm just going to write a list of the things I've had on my mind this year.  Good, bad, and everything in between.  Make of it what you will.

  • My grandmother
  • Family in general
  • Chicago
  • Roomie
  • Esther Eve (love of my life)
  • 2955 Arthur St.
  • Amazing friends.  Lovely, supportive, crazed, sex-fiend, dance party, appreciating friends.
  • bicycles
  • summer (Best Summer Ever)
  • Moving - Cynthia, Stacy, Laurie, EC, Candace, Kemi
  • Stacy
  • Orlando 
  • Mazatlan
  • Miami
  • Minneapolis 
  • Creativity
  • Parties
  • After-Parties
  • Books
  • Music, lots and lots of music.
  • Losing jobs, ugh, losing jobs
  • money (or lack thereof)
  • Red Stag Supper Club (swinging from the balls...AHHHHOHHHYYYAAAA)
  • Condor (Condor 2, Bohemian Condor)
  • Raskin and Dusick...the aBt way
  • Star Wars
  • Amazing food (Sunday Dinners Rule my week) 
  • Mac v. PC
  • cell phones
  • deals with the devil
  • airplanes, buses, and roadtrips
  • Mexican food
  • CD Release Parties
  • First Ave
  • Tyler and Tabby
  • Summertime (again)
  • Swimming
  • Brunch
  • Old friends (you know who you are)
  • New friends (you know too!)
  • I love you.  I know.  I love you.
  • Kooks 
  • Everyone's having babies.  Holy shit.
  • Photos
  • Art
  • Vampires
  • dogs
  • conversations about boys with boys who can't get a word in.
  • Mom, Dad, Brother...or the best people in the world.
  • raw food
  • cooking food
That list is far from getting it right, or close (whatever right and close are).  It's a start though.

Master Legend and Ace

The article is five pages long - but worth every minute.  Stick with it - it's amazing. 

New Year's Eve Resolutions

I love new year's resolutions.  By the end of the year I've totally forgotten mine - but I love them nonetheless. 

New Year's resolutions for 2009:
-Stop biting my fingernails.
-Travel. A lot.
-Stop fucking people I don't like on a regular basis (once is ok, twice is pushing it).

**Those are not my New Year's Resolutions.  They're good - just not mine.

Time to Face Reality

I've tried very hard not to think about this night or to talk about it, or post about it, etc etc etc.  Be the bigger person sort of thing.  

I was looking through pics for something else a few weeks ago and saw the photos below.  I saved them in a file called "That Night" - dramatic as always.  I forgot about it.  

Today - I was looking yet again for some other pictures and found "That Night" - and today I felt compelled to post them.  Not sure why exactly.  I think some pretty traumatic things have happened this week, and when I look at this night now, it pales in comparison.  Not to say it still doesn't hurt, or that it isn't/wasn't important.  Just that I understand things will never be the same and I'm done mourning.  I have bigger issues to deal with.  

It took a long time, but break-ups always do.  So, here is That Night, the one that changed so much.  I'm sorry it happened, but I still feel no guilt - because I still don't think I did anything wrong.  I hope one day she learns from mistakes like that one.  





Sorry this was so public.  But so was That Night.  I'm done with it all now.

Long overdue...in more ways than one

Some gems from Christmas past floated my way and I had to post them.  For your enjoyment:

God, remember when it looked like I had a tape-worm.  I miss those days.  What's with my bangs?

Who is that dude on the right?  Look closely...yep.


Dance party at the Varsity theatre - anyone else remember that Hunk-Puff kissed me that night.  Haha - sorry to bring it up Hunkle, but it's just too funny.
A trifecta if I've ever seen one.
