September 2007 Archives

Went and caught The Kingdom this afternoon. There really wasn't much on and what was showing that I hadn't seen already didn't interest me much. This looked decent. I hadn't seen any commercials or read anything about it I just knew it had to deal with saudi and oil. This was a very unsettling movie that depicted several acts of terrorism including a near beheading. I wish they had gone ahead and taken Jason Bateman's head off but oh well. Not a bad movie in general it was kinda crappy in the theater cause some bitch kept talking to the screen and adding in her two cents. She was loud enough that I heard her up in front and she was near the back. Give it a peek but wait for DVD.

Not that it is any news for some people but I still check it most every Sunday to see the new stuff. Every now and then I see a few up there that seem to have a bit more something to them than the rest. This week there were two. This one which I found almost comical and one more which you'll just have to look at the site to see if you can figure out. Postsecret.

Just wanted to say how much I love the smell coming from the tobacco barns this time of year. Every farmer seems to use a different type of wood to smoke with and it smells fantastic. Makes this drive almost pleasant.

heading to the reunion and shawn is here!

Since I am posting like crazy today with other stuff I will throw this up as well. Went and saw this over the weekend and it was okay. It wasn't spectacular but it was funny. A good deal of gay humor and the typical jokes you'd expect from this type of movie. Check it out if you have some free time but don't go expecting something new that is going to be ground breaking. Check their site here.

Okay so I found some link on some site while I was looking for something random. Came across some animated gif of a cat eating corn going "num num num" and I started poking around to see what else was in there. This was there I laughed sent it to a few people and laughed some more. So now I have to share it. Enjoy.

Today was kinda crappy to begin with. I didn't get much sleep last night, which is normal for me anyway but that is another topic. So I woke up around 11 after not much sleep with my back hurting and everything else seemingly wrong. Did my usual morning stuff of feeding the cat and using the restroom before sitting down to the computer. Sat down and flipped my monitors on to see what I thought was a message sent from someone trying to reach me. Instead it was some spam for something or other. In some ways I wanted it to be that person trying to contact me but in some little place I was a tad relieved it wasn't. I'm not sure which I want to be feeling at this point disappointment that it wasn't what I thought or happiness that it wasn't but upset with myself for even thinking for a minute it was the other. I should be at the point now where I don't want that anymore yet still I couldn't help myself when I saw it and was happy for a split second.

Onto the good stuff for the day. Last night I talked to my old friend Shawn. He and his wife will be in town next weekend for our 10 year reunion. I was very happy to hear that because they weren't on the last list that was sent out of people attending. In fact, even though I sent in his name and address, etc he never even got an invite which makes me wonder if they sent them to my cousin, Suzanne, Angel or Nathan. In any case I am going to meet up with Shawn on Saturday before the reunion so we can all go together. Who knows we might even head up a bit early and hang out in a bar close to there for a bit of pre-tuning. I have a little more on my mind but don't feel like typing it up right now. Maybe if I get some time tomorrow I will collect my thoughts and let it all out.

I am getting really tired of dealing with the liars in my daily dealings. I can't seem to escape the fact that the more I try the more I am just setting myself up to crash in every single activity. While my moods here lately have seemed to become stabilized I can't help but trying to cultivate something that doesn't exist. Guess that was my problem this time last year as well. People are willing to go as far as telling me what they think I want to hear to get me to shut up and leave them alone but they can't just come out and say back the fuck off. I was thinking today back to how things have panned out where I went from having people that I talked to daily to every other day to once a week then every other week. Spiraling ever further outward til there is no contact at all until I say something upsetting to someone. As I sit here trying to come to grips with what my situation actually is I can't help but wonder why I even bother anymore. All I want is for someone to look back at me like the way I look at them. That is probably the corniest way I can put that but I don't really know any other way. It is just infuriating that I keep going out of my way just to have it not appreciated and instead to have it rubbed in my face at how some people can neglect what is right under their nose and get everything I want without trying at all. THAT FUCKING SUCKS! Over and over I see the same pattern some dipshit does nothing and gets everything.

Why can't you just say you don't want me? You want someone else. Why even leave that little piece hanging out there for me to hold onto? It's not fair it's fucking cruel and it's tearing me apart. I get on a good kick then out of nowhere I am suddenly just this annoying person calling, txt'ing, whatever. Can't just say yeah I saw it and didn't want any distractions at the time because of the company I was in. It was much easier or something just to lie about it and leave me hanging on. It's almost like you crave the feeling of someone pining for you and you don't care where it comes from when what you really want is that from a particular person. I feel like someone that has been prying into a secret just to find a black spot with no other purpose than to break me down.

I just liked this entry on post secret and thought I would pass it along. It has been a long holiday weekend and I have had alot of time to think and reflect on stuff and I really don't like the things I have settled on. I still don't feel as I have any type of closure and that despite current circumstances I am not really sure I want it either. On another topic I am once again thinking about selling the house and moving. I am having alot of trouble concentrating and getting anything at all accomplished. I am not sure how much of that is place and not the other distractions that I have going on. What I do know is that over a three day weekend I didn't take any sleeping pills and didn't get to sleep any night before 2am. Once I finally did get to sleep I never got up til 11am at the earliest. I've popped some pills tonight, but they don't seem to be working all that much. I was hoping pecking around a few websites would relax me and help me drift off but I am just yawning and not really sleeping.

Go see the remake of Halloween it was excellent. Rob Zombie captured the feeling of an 80's horror movie perfectly.
