awww...

last night was really amazing. and i needed that after a no less than absolutely freakin' weird day.

i'm still working on the posts for my weekend... maybe i'll get them posted soon. work is consuming much of my time since we are training on a new -- and much improved -- operating system. i'll get to it, though. the pictures will be picked up today and i'll begin building the new pages soon after. i know many from the digi-cam turned out awesome. we'll see how the others are.

that's all for now. later.

what a weekend!

wow! i had a blast this weekend... and can actually remember most of it. i will be in the process of making new web pages will all the pics. check back for those.

also... i'll be updating my journal with mental and paper entries from the weekend. check back on those, too. i know there'll be some funny stuff as well as maybe some philosophical relic.

one t

happy pride!

it's that time of year, again. the colors of the rainbow dot midtown like butterflies. more than a half million people converge on the city to show their pride and relic in what at least feels like normalcy for a moment before being forced to return to their villages and towns of oppression...

i was reminded of this time last year in a stark way last night. steven walked in. after having not seen him for a year, it was nice, but the longer i looked at him, the more uneasy i was. i left.

to explain, though, all the feelings of anger and hurt weren't there. i just wanted to fold up and ask, "why"? and why what, i don't know. it's been so long ago. he moved to france last july or august so i haven't had to deal with any of the emotions. i guess last night was a clue that i better start.

i'm at work. it's been busy already but it's calming down. writing a letter now to remind residents to pick up after their dogs. yay! haha.

screen on the green is tonight... they're playing mommie dearest. i guess i'll finally get my 'gay card' afterwards, since i'm almost crucified each time i tell someone i've never seen it. all i know about it is the 'no wire hangers!' part. should be fun. jamie will be here sometime this afternoon. joshua is flying in too.

let the party start... and never, ever end.

one t

this day will get better...

i hate days like this. i just feel bad. emotionally. physically, i'm tired yet i know i have a weekend full of stuff to do, then a whole week of work to follow. no rest for the weary. or the young.

it will get better. starting now.

one t

so, so full...

i am so full, i could pop. i just ate a slice of cake, which was wonderful... and a french dip sandwich and fries. it was from loco's, which reminded me of good ole' statesboro, georgia!

work is so slow today... not too much to offer so not too much to do. but, that's a good thing.

more later. i don't feel like writing.

one t

headache!

i shouldn't have drank so much... ugh. and i was only going to the bookstore!

i headed into blake's since it looked a little crowded and saw john and brent there. we caught up, drank up and got wasted. i spent time worshiping the porcelain god... then woke up in the bathtub. yeah, i had passed out and was gurgling water. note to self: take a shower next time.

i made it to work on time and, surprisingly, feel alright. just have a huge headache. since i don't eat breakfast, i have to wait to take medicine so that i won't be all jittery. i'll be alright 'til then.

on an opposite note... i have a meeting with my personal trainer tonight at seven thirty. we'll see how it goes.

this week is going to be real busy:

monday :: gym
tuesday :: jennifer wilbanks interview on dateline, jeanine and tony and mambo room (be there)
wednesday :: free for now
thursday :: screen on the green at piedmont park (mommie dearest, i think) at dusk
friday :: some party
saturday :: another party
sunday :: parade, yet more parties

i need plenty of flinstone vitamins for this week...

wendell is still in the hospital. not sure when he will get to go home. obviously there is a little more to his infection than first thought. they're medicating him rather heavily, though. maybe all will be well sooner than later.

one t

sick...

some times i wish i were ten feet tall and bullet proof. i really do. or even spider man, ya know? where i could be there for people despite my 140 pound, 5'11" frame. i would have been just that yesterday. that's all i'll say about that other than i love my friends and hate to see them hurt -- physically, emotionally or otherwise.

work is fun today. we're having a pool party so there's some eye candy outside. probably got another lease although i'm not sure. i have had several people in today...

adam kelly had his crazy ass in atlanta last night. of course, i didn't know it until i saw him out last night. was a trip as always. if he had a brain, he'd be dangerous.

tom got his new suv-- a lexus rx300, i think. it's the epitome of style although slightly femine. : ) just kidding. it's black with grey leather interior. sunroof. power rear hatch. nice.

wendell is still in the hospital. they're estimating he may be able to come home on sunday... no promises. they think he has staph infection, which isn't good. he's doing well, though. i think he's getting tired of being poked and prodded. first time, ever. haha.

pride is next week. should be fun. jamie is coming up, again. i love hanging out with him. i also am trying to get joshua to take off so that he can go, too. should be a rockin' good time.

let me get back to work... more later.

one t

feelin' silly

for once, it's slow here at the office. i'm in one of those i'm tired but i can't sleep moods where you are just silly. maybe it'll pass.

i'm going out tonight with joshua. i love the fact that i can now spend time with my friends. it's so fun!

wendell is in the hospital... he hit his leg, which became infected. he's been in there for two days and may have to stay until sunday.

hmmm... jennifer is coming up tomorrow to take me out to eat! actually, this will be my turn to take her out. i'm not sure where, yet, though. she was supposed to come tonight but she had other things to do with angel. hmph.

that's it for now.

one t

excited and exhausted

things couldn't be going too much better right now. i absolutely love my job. my blazer isn't dead anymore. i'm into someone. jessica and lee are here for the weekend. everyone's alright. it's been a while since this feeling.

work was crazy today. i got another lease! yay! there were so many phone calls, emails, people coming in... wicked. but, i got through it with just one cigarette! ha.

hmmm... i always think, "i need to update my journal," yet lose everything i wanted to put on here time i sign on.

oh well. that's all you need to know for now.

one t

another day in the neighborhood

today has been real fun... ha. i was supposed to fill in at renaissance all day but was called over to parkside after lunch. it's real slow, now, but being in midtown is nice. i wish i were at a community here rather than dunwoody, although i really like it there.

tom and i had lunch at baraonda today. very good calamari and lasagna. oh, for desert we had a parking ticket! ten bucks. gotta love atlanta. we paid for almost forty-five minutes... sa la vie.

raven will be live on qtv tonight. she, nor i, has any clue what the content will be... should be fun. it's at joe's on juniper at nine thirty. consult you local listings for proper cable channel.

jessica and lee are coming up this weekend for music midtown. not sure, still, whether leslee will be here. we're also going to look for apartments for lee. jessica mentioned bringing some dog named toto, too.

it's four o'clock. why can't it be six?

one t

bored...

i'm filling in at post renaissance today... very boring, at least so far. however, it's only two minutes from my loft. no dealing with traffic today!

speaking of which, when i came home from raven's at three a.m. there were five lanes of traffic blocked south of tenth street... obviously, someone jumped and was hit by a car. but -- it's not on any of the news stations web sites. not even a mention. that's almost as weird as the jumper.

i guess more will follow.

OH! music midtown is this weekend and guess what? it's in my backyard! almost literally. don't you wish you were me?

and a long distance dedication to some special person in p'tree city... anything chicago. ; )

one t

catchin' up

i haven't posted in a couple days. now that i have a job, it's a bit difficult...

speaking of my job -- i LOVE it. in fact, i got my first lease today. technically, it was yesterday but that was only a garage. the people in the office are awesome. i'm gettin' back in my groove.

casper2 (my blazer) is finally running smoothly again, thanks to a new radiator, water pump, hoses, timing adjustment... yeah. she was re-born. do you know how nice it is to drive without worrying that you might have to stop at any minute to refill the radiator? ahhhh.

i am currently with raven trying to repair his website. she cannot be convinced that i do not, in fact, know how to fix hers and that mine is really almost just a cut and paste program! don't think for a minute that i did all that myself...

more later, but life is good.

one t

yay!

i had THE most wonderful night last night. at work now. not too much going on, although i was very busy yesterday. more later.

oh... i'll be in indiana this weekend. details to follow.
