yes, that is a queer "i" in "paik"..
 |
| yes, i brought it to work to scan--im not ashamed to admit it.. |
very nice, indeed..
so i get home and esther says to me, "you are gonna LUV todays mail". curiously but hesitantly, i walk over to check out the surprise. needless to say, i was flabbergasted, maybe honored but definitely reelin from hysteria. i guess its good to have a secure wife w/ a sense of humor. course, her laughter was probly just coverin up her concern--a concern ill likely never be able to allay..
anyways, i found it SO funny i felt obligated to share it w/ the world. no, i have not (yet) placed my subscription. and no, i am not gay (yet). but if anyone would like to give me the gift that keeps on givin, i would be delighted. after all, its the next logical step after i graduate from readin glamour..
- of course, it begs the question as to how i was sent this notice in the first place. maybe it is from those allurin websites im always checkin out. or maybe someone i know (alpo, mungmung, woosh) is tryin to tell me somethin. or perhaps its just my subconscious tryin to gradually open that closet door to esther..
uh-oh, for you man friends out there--better think twice bout stayin at my place..
heeheehee..
- anyways, ive been absent from this blog for a few wks now cuz my brains been absent from my head. ive had no ideas on wut to spill and hence, no inclination to write so i just let it sit here and rot. i suppose i could write about stuff i do (seein old friends) and things that are goin on (esther matched at the cleveland clinic), but bah humbug--it takes too much effort to write bout things like that so i tend to focus on the more superficial drivel that fills up life..
- okay, fine--ill delve into myself a little bit..
this past month, my life companions been back on call every three nites w/ every sixth day off. so effectively, we see each other two full days a week (two regular work evenings and her one day off--every other minute she spends workin or sleepin). now lets just forget about how hard AND how long she works cuz thats just incomprehensible to my weak-minded lazy soul--sides, this is MY BLOG (he proclaims selfishly)..
since its been a while since my partners been on such a schedule, ive forgotten how tough (not like "im dyin"-tough but more like "this sucks"-tough) it is for her to be gone. alright, i dont mean to sound sappy or am tryin elicit sympathy (so dont bother me w/ any emails)--i just find it funny that i cant remember missin her/feelin bored to hell like this. i honestly dont believe i felt this way in the previous yr--i guess its that whole "attachment" phenomenon thats kickin in now that weve been holy-matrimonied for two yrs. its like when stella (yellow lab) first met cocoa (choc lab) and they chilled together for an entire week; once stella left, both became sullen and unresponsive for days..
i guess for some of us, life is made more "happy" (think of a synonym) when we have a mate to whom we are legally bound to..
- wow, can i sound more luvingly despicable/despicably luvin towards esther?
- fun fact: didja know i deliberately choose NOT to shave daily? esther hates it yet i continue to do so under the false pretense that the more one shaves, the faster his hair grows. i know (or am pretty sure) it doesnt; but i just hate shavin. if i have no reason to look clean-cut, then i have no reason to be clean-cut. thank you very much..
now should i mention how i recycle my underwear?
- so ive had a gmail account for a few wks now and i think its great. the innovation google brought to both email (conversations, labels) and web interfaces (keyboard shortcuts, seamless page flow) is fantastic. [dork warning] for a dork like me, ive been amazed at how much they accomplished simply usin javascript. for those who dont know wut i do at work (which is everybody, includin my life partner), im basically tryin to develop this complex web application. now, i try to make it as seamless and user-friendly as possible, but those guys at google took RIA to a whole nother level. ive actually been viewin some of their source code and its a monster. but it is veeerry good..
now if theyll only support opera..
- ya kno how some people say to "enjoy the moment"? i believe its usually heard when some great event takes place or you receive some grand acclaim. well, its obviously true in almost any positive situation. "enjoy the moment" cuz you never know wut might happen, right?
well, im not one who lives for the present, much less in it--i think i rarely enjoy the moment. im more the type who tends to see the grass as bein greener on the other side. "he has an awesome job". "she is so brilliant--why am i so stoopid"?
i am one, however, whos always reachin for the past or lookin towards the future, which doesnt make for a very fulfillin or gratifyin present. its fun gettin all nostalgic reminiscin bout ole times w/ ole friends. and its just as fun to speculate about wut remains ahead--wut awaits for me (and my life companion)..
and so, obviously i neglect wut is takin place now. as much as i spout of my apathy towards baltimore, im sure when we move to cleveland-rocks! ill miss it here. just as i was glad to finally be off the gawd-awful-long project in europe only to pine for those days to come back..
and just like when i roll my eyes as my mom delivers one of her patented lectures--ill be sad when shes gone. heck, ill be sad when we move to cleveland-rocks! away from the truckloads of korean food she gives us!
phil jackson--or as those close to him like to call dr phil--preaches "to live in the moment". i guess theres really no other time to live, eh?
