Holy crap. I've been so self-absorbed lately that I totally neglected to leave you a note. I am going to send you all the positive, job drawing energy I have over to you my man. How could ANYONE not want you for anything??? Hell, I'd pay you to stand in my living room looking manly, bald, and pierced if I were shallow and had that kind of money. What your friends did for you is a testament to your worth as a human being. Everyone who reads you knows you to be generous, kind, capable and intelligent beyond comprehension. A real catch for a dive OR a business. The Diva you've got ; )) A smart hiring manager would be wise to snag you quick. Take care G-man. Send up a flare if you need anything.

Yay! Your still around. My very own D-land mega crush. (Swooning over the pick me up of the floor hug...) I seem to have a something or other growing on my left ovary that looks very suspicious. My doc can tell from the MRI whether or not its cancer. Hopefully I'll know Monday. Scary stuff.

M'kay, here you go. Answer away, tiny dancer... 1. If you were the author of that teeny little "Life's Little Instruction Book," what would be your first and
foremost Instruction For Life?
2. When I see that bumper sticker that says, "Unless You Are a Hemorrhoid, Stay Off My Ass," does that not imply that the driver of that car would welcome a hemorrhoid? Why would someone welcome a hemorrhoid?
3. Do ghosts really exist? Prove it!
4. What accomplishment in your life, to date, are you most proud of?
5. In the opinion of a professional (that's so cool - you're a professional now!), what is, like, the lamest tattoo EVER?

I've been debating getting a tattoo for a few years now. A weasel, of course. I'm just not sure where I'd want it. I swear, if I do it, I will not ask "is it gonna hurt?" And if I do, I hope someone kicks me. I loved your stupid customer stories!

Yes, and if the male lizards had pockets they'd also have something to keep their sperm in over the long winter months, alongside their weapons. And then they could disseminate (heh) it gradually instead of offloading it all at once and making the poor old female cart it around with her for months on end! Voila! It'd be win-win all the way in reptile-land! Love, R xxx

One of my pet sheep used to have a thing for toilet paper, too. (And onions.) She'd opportunistically sneak into the house if the gate were left open and do a mad supermarket dash, starting in the kitchen with a frenzied bite out of an onion or two and ending up in the bathroom, where she'd grab the end of the toilet paper roll and start running like hell with it trailing behind her (looking not unlike an ovine fleeing bride, really). Once outside, she'd follow the paper along like a line of cocaine, eating it as she went. Then she'd spend the rest of the day cudding up this vile mix to move it between stomachs, and waiting for the next hit.

It sounds like your vehicles personify the difference between a highly-strung thoroughbred show-pony and a ponderous mongrel work-horse. So, if it's hard to catch, feed, groom and ride, some calming herbs (or even a dose of magnesium) might be in order to rectify the function of those excitable membranes. (And you could have some yourself while you're at it.) Oh, and I had to look up "foment" in a dictionary, mate. Imagine my surprise to learn that it's derived from a Middle English word meaning "to apply warm liquids to the skin". So maybe a nice sudsy apres-ride hose-down would work, too? Love, R xxx

Hmmm...you know, darling, I initially thought you were suggesting that I was the humming and vibrating adult sex toy that was mistaken for a bomb. But you see, I can't recall ever bonking - even on my own - in a rubbish bin at Mackay airport cafeteria. I did write a play once in which the characters bonked in a large terracotta plant pot at a shopping mall, though; that scene may or may not have been based on real-life experiences. Now I'm left rather bemused that the cafeteria manager would admit that "in retrospect the humming sounded exactly like a vibrator": that sounds like the sort of thing better left unsaid. Love, R xxx

So, I'm catching up on the entries made before I found your diary, and I got to the part about the Florence Y'All water tower. There's a story there. It used to say FLORENCE MALL, but some nimrod painted it all up (and for those who haven't seen it, I mean PAINTED IT THE HELL UP) before they realized that it was a municipal water tower and couldn't be used for a billboard for the mall. So they painted over parts of the M to make it look like Y' ...and I am so totally not lying about any of this.

I'm not sure if I would have told the truth or done something like get my husband to call my cell phone, but I never would have driven him home. *clap clap clap* for doing that - you probably won some karma back.

My husband went to college in Windsor, and he says that Detroitus (a singular noun describing the people of Detroit) has the annoying habit of saying, "I'm going to go groceries." Not shopping, going grocery shopping, or going to get groceries. Maybe it was the one or two people he talked to, but if it's the whole city, STOP IT. RIGHT NOW.

I just read your letter to my dog. (Well, I realise it wasn't your letter to my dog, but I'm sure you follow me anyway.) She nodded, laughed derisively, and then kissed me with her fresh-cow-poo-coated tongue. It wasn't pretty. But it's just lucky for her that I like her much more than I like most people, and that she's very warm and soft to cuddle up to in winter - even though she somehow takes up three quarters of the bed despite being very short, and thinks that "move" means dig in even further and resolutely hold one's ground against all odds. Awww, she's such a cutie.

Hey man, first and foremost: great to see you back posting ANYTHING at this point, pissed off or not. And I hear ya about wacky work hours making for a fucked up social schedule. I'm in the same boat (3am - 9am). You've gotta find SOMETHING to fill your time during the lonely hours you're at home when everyone, including your spouse, is out working. At least you haven't chosen a hobby that's destructive or (I hope) causing friction on the home front. Anyway, hang in there. My best to you and the diva....

Uh, dude ... WTF about EQ? I mean, I'm getting that you're pissed, but it's not like I've exactly been reading or hearing about this a lot. Secondly, ref the addictions, yeah, the serious down-and-outers lose what they got from it, but I'm proof-positive you can be addicted to something and not lose it all. I've been addicted to cigarettes for like 22 years and haven't lost anything yet from it. Except, well, the money they cost and the time I spent smoking them and making sure I have more to smoke. I was addicted to Baldur's Gate for a while (and Zuma more recently), but got off 'em when I realized that there were a lot of things I was leaving undone because I was playing 'em ... like eating and talking to people and doing housework and stuff. Anyway, good to see ya back.

Oh, and seriously - that was a funny "Pistons Spanking Shaq & Co." pic :) I'm not a sports fan myself (except for the manly ones), but I understand Detroit aquitted itself quite nicely in their series. I'm disappointed that the fans didn't "Shock and Awe" their city into oblivion this year though. Oh well, maybe if the Lions win it all. Anyway, good to see something from you finally! And now I'd better go update my own mess or somebody might lump me in with your lazy ass. Ciao, bro! :)

Darling, I have NFI what "scrumping your brains out" for your birthday would entail, because I'm Australian and I'm not at all sure we know how to do that down here, so I'll just assume that it's somewhat similar to "knocking the back out of you", and leave you with my fondest fervid imaginings of helping you to creatively extinguish forty well-lighted candles (give or take a few) and then frantically force-feeding you myriad servings of frosted crumbly cakish delights.

I should hasten to add that our dog is currently intact, but would, of course, have to be divided evenly in the event of a marital separation. I think the fairest way would be to split her down the middle lengthways (like a sheep, pig or cow in a butcher's shop), following the convenient "seam" line that runs the whole way around from her snout, along her back, down through her belly, up through her chest and back up to snout again - like most cattle dogs have, presumably for neat division purposes. This method naturally raises the issue of who gets the side with the cute black eye-patch, however, but perhaps that could be negotiated by the "loser" agreeing to take extra tail...

You like the Pistols? John Lydon was here a few weeks ago in the rainforest for a UK reality/survivor show with a whole lot of z-rated English "celebrities" like page 3 girl-soccer wives with enormous plastic breasts, and one-hit wonder pop stars. Johnny "requested to be relieved of his duties" after a week, apparently surprised he was not rotten enough to have been voted off immediately. I was shattered, of course.

Well, of course lingua is rather nice, you juvenis pork sausage you. (And please don't worry about your use-by date, either, darling. Where consumption is concerned, I tend not to pay attention to such artificial dictates, preferring to rely on my olfactory and aesthetic instincts.) Not for nothing was Lingua Franca adopted as universal Romance communication, you know; French anything is superb, and Spanish is the Loving Tongue, and all that, as Mr Dylan said. But since we've barely touched on the Greek aspect of our relationship, let's explore Latin a while longer and return to your previously-articulated liberal fixation with the pollex. I imagine you are aware that, by mathematical computation, in a perfect physical specimen twice round the thumb is once round the wrist, and so on to the neck and the waist...but I don't think I need to dwell further on the fascinating anatomical interrelationships of human appendages here. And let's not even begin to ruminate on the (possibly apocryphal) etymology of "rule of thumb" as the standard of size for the castigatory whipping instrument that a husband may use on his errant wife in order to enforce the remedial restraints of domestic discipline...While we're on that subject, I admit that I admire stamina as much as the next woman, and we antipodeans can be pretty darned restrained-yet-torva too, just quietly. (Sadly, though, we do know next to nothing about gridiron in this country, so these Dodgers of whom you speak may as well play for the red planet. That was a little advena humour, by the way.) Oh dear, and naturally I had no idea about the primary definition of Infixes. Pray, what do you take me for? I do hope my comments did not erigo you excessively. As to your imaginative infliction of "scio mega" on my willing person - why, sir, that made much more than my heart skip a beat, mi amor, mi corazon...oh please, roll a few more roots my way...

How am I supposed to know what a Brooklyn Dodger is? I'm from Australia, you know! Artful, yes: though I ain't got no hintimate friends, me old pork sausage. Now, regarding the availability of my morphemes, as we were, I'm sure I don't need to remind you that roots are usually free, but may indeed be bound. May I also interest you in acquainting yourself with some infixes? What's that? Absofreakinglutely? Well, should you decide to throw in a few Latin roots of your own – Indo-European ones, even, if they're profuse enough - we'll certainly chat more. So inflect away, darling. You go first.

You know, my fragrant and flavoursome (albeit grievously wounded) ambrosia-boy, no-one's ever called me cakish before, for which I am possibly grateful since it is almost certainly both lexically and etymologically dodgy. I have, however, been the willing recipient of several other culinarily endearing terms – verbal briefs, if you will – drawn from the nomenclature of the pastry discipline. Regarding your modest reluctance to divest yourself of your emblematic (if not literal) briefs without adequate incentive, I can proffer only the fleeting sparkle of my readily-available morphemes, either free/bound and/or open/closed, for your unguentary consideration. xxx

I was gonna ask if you were feeling better, but I guess the fact that you did 63 loads of laundry answered that.

You're like me but with, y'know, actual class. And wit. And probably a prettier wife. Hmmmm. I think I'm gonna start coming back here for no other reason than to just live vicariously through you. Hope you don't mind. Thanks again!

GNOMAD!!! I got s.p. to go online today... and I'm spending the whole time reading you... because the past four-going-on-five months, which have been horribly, terribly you-deprived have been equally dull. I've missed seeing your name highlighted in red on my buddy list... is that sad or what? I'm sorry, I have no life. Off to read more. Just wanted to say hey. So hey.

I loved that entry about racism. I could not have said it better myself. I'm from Trinidad & Tobago, a Caribbean island that possesses a population that is 40% East Indian and 40% black. I belong to the latter population although I have never mentioned it in my diary. Anyways, racialism is rampant in just about every ethnic group in Trinidad, and mainly between these two. I just wish we could get along. About the author though... I've realised that in America, blacks in general seem to be particularly race conscious or sensitive to racialism. Maybe it's because they experience racial discrimination so often throughout their lives that they feel this way. For this reason, I think, I can understand to an extent those Afroamericans who are so racially sensitive that they are often racial themselves. Still, I don't *fully* understand it, and I do not support it all. Anyways, I do like your diary a lot. My diary is pending on your list of diaries to be reviewed at your compendious site, however, so I am not certain about how ethical it is to list you as a favourite. Maybe after you deconstruct my diary. Until then, I'll continue reading.

Dude, I am so with you on the racism thing. I have spent most of my life either defending being from the South, or apologizing for it. Funny thing is, I have lived in a lot of parts of the country, and racism is everywhere. It's more subtle, but it's definitely there. And the most recent example I can think of are the hispanic kids who hang out behind my office building to drink, smoke, do drugs, have sex, engage in vandalism and set things on fire. They've decided we're racist because we set the cops on them. Hell, we didn't even know who was doing this stuff; we just didn't want any of it behind our building. But we're racist because we're white and they're hispanic. Whatev. I'm not saying at all that racism is not practiced by white folks, but it's definitely out there, in every culture and in every race. I too was a fan of McMillan, but I'll probably look at things a bit more closely now. I try not to support art (or anything else) that doesn't speak to my morals.

Well if you *believe* that cockamammy Immaculate Conception story, then I suppose James would be Jesus' half brother. In fact, in the book, there were family trees for several possibilities that being one of them. I cracked up looking at the one that assumes Immaculate Conception ... I mean, how many people's family tree has God written in them?

I was going to yell at you here for making fun of K.B. when I said (clearly) not to- but how can I yell at you when you write an entry like that? I bet you do that to the Diva, right? *sigh* So anyway, dude, here's my words of wisdom- It's okay that you don't have that many momentos of your dad. As long as you have memories- my mother was a packrat. After her death, I inherited two, TWO closets full of crap. Oh, it all reminds me of her- and how annoying she was! The thing is, none of us really get to know our parents because life doesn't happen to them (in our minds) it happens to us. So just remember him in good memories and in bad, and that's who he'll have to be, till you meet again.
|

nimiiwin : |

Aw. I'm so glad you got to have those momentos of your father. I can so feel you on the wish for him. Get better soon.
|
| from
mcgriddles : |

No- see, of course you're not sick. If you were sick you'd be admitting it to yourself and you're clearly not doing that- so you're not sick. So there's no reason for me to say get well because- well- you're already well, right? Poor little dude. Feel better.

Thanks for the awesome review! I've read a little of your diary and you strike me as intelligent; a reviewer I'm glad to have. And I don't expect you to recalculate my score but I felt the need to respond to some of the things in my review. The broken profile image is VERY irritating to me also, but I have found no way of fixing it short of replacing it with another image, and tech support won't tell me how to remove it entirely. The layout is my design, it's unusual so I'm glad you liked it. I see no point in a guestbook when "notes" is the same thing(can you explain it to me?). The lack of extras, the desire to have a white background(dunno if you caught that in my journal), is my minimalism. After maintaining a public journal, I moved to diaryland to write for myself. I didn't join rings or anything, but someone found my diary nonetheless just when I thought no one was looking. I decided to delete the start again with the entries you see now, but publically(I update more now that I have readers). I still behave like I'm writing mostly for myself, hence the lack of extras. Shame on me for my spelling but I stand by my sporadic updates - I don't like forcing entries. That's about it. The criticism is a lot like I expected it to be. Oh, and I liked Siddhartha.
