home and catching up

it's a wonderful day... an adorable day... a long exciting day... lots of walking and feeling physically great... everything went as well as any day at disney could... jane's influence was beautiful as usual... what can i say, fun is fun, a friend is a friend, disney is disney, and the day was wonderful...

yesterday was a wonderful day alone exploring inside memories and me all by myself, loved it and wrote more entries than any other day, ever, since being online...

today was a wonderful day not alone outside in the fresh air and world sharing with a fantastic person and great friend... loved today too and the balance is giddy good... time to unwind, catch up on the day (previous entries, though so many of the fun details were probably left out), and sit back and enjoy the glow :)

wonderful day

everything just went off right on time today... and i even found a gift for jackson that she's gonna love... and we ate healthy thanks to jane (except for the giant ice cream cookie sanwich she bought me... we watched the christmas processional and while it's not really my thing, we enjoyed it and rested a bit... watched the fireworks and headed out ahead of the crowd and it's rare to get to do everything you want to do at two parks in one day and have nothing at all go wrong but that's the kind of day it was... yay jane... yay disney... yay fun... yay :)

so what's going on in your world today? :)

heading to hollywood

the kid is out and loving every minute of it... we did everything in the front of epcot except the spaceship one and visited most of the countries around the lake and got lots of exercise and found fun everywhere... my favorite park character from long ago, figment, sang the imagination song and it's bouncing around my head over and over and i love it... so many memories... fun fun fun :)

and now we are off to hollywood... wish you were here :)

bouncing around

like tigger and chip and dale and being the little kid i am the day is revving up in spite of the fatigue from lack of sleep... bouncing around in the beautiful weather, memories stirring, smiles widening, gonna coffee caffeinate the brain and body today and bounce around even more...

we are having fun :)

a disney day

headed to jane's house so her roommie (and a mutual friend) bear could get us into disney for the day (for free, it's good to have friends who work at disney) and we are excited to enjoy a disney day... epcot to start and probably hollywood studios later and while jane packed healthy food for us (she is such a healthy influence... too bad she lives so far away (40 minutes) and we don't spend more time together cuz i'd probably be thinner, fitter, and healthier if we hung out more... anyway, a fun day at disney ahead...

yay for fun and friends :)

been so long

since an all-nighter was so refreshing... from the depths of the buried treasures (and the sadness that they were buried so long and still remain mostly buried, but at least remembered to the euphoria of remembering) to the pleasures of the momentary experiences of letting music envelope me almost as it once did (shhh, we do not need to notice the almost at the moment :)

the past six or seven thereal entries (and dozens of others, some linked, some not) tell a story of a life, a week, an eternity... and while you had to be here to begin to understand, perhaps you will care to want to know one day and in that wanting, the story of a life continues...

till tomorrow :)

not sleeping much

and loving every minute of it as friends coax me to push (with a big jolt of help from caffeine) into another later night party mode and we had fun fun fun till the eyes were all closing around me and just eight hours ago when i showed up at the party after moving jackson's stuff for hours in the peak heat of the day and feeling exhausted i was barely able to articulate how tired i was (the conders of the coffee bean and sugar and chocolate) and here we are (after sleeping only four or so hours last night) wired and still gonna go play softabll from 10am to 5pm or so tomorrow cuz the bottom line is i am not gonna find the sharing i am missing by staying home or while i am sleeping, diggity...

and when i die, i die... until then, party on life :)

fruitful awakening

though sleep could have easily lasted longer if the phone did not ring, i find myself spouting out purposeful babble and random nonsense this morning at many unknown locals in the new web world (so designated by the demise of the written gardens at the hands of the dastardly att folk, who suck, by the way)... busy day of three softball games tomorrow, so relax today... maybe some laundry and unpacking?... perhaps... fresh air (no times square)...

make this a wonderful weekend...

continue continue

no, i did not order little ceasar's pizza, just emphasizing what i must do through the night until i am done... breaking for a moment to eat cuz amidst the backing i decided i would cook spaghetti with shrimp and onions in an enhanced sun dried tomato and roasted red pepper alfredo sauce (less than ten minutes prep and the time to boil spaghetti for cooking time... the shrimp were frozen cooked 100-150, two bags {two pounds} and for the sauce i started with two jars of classico alfredo sauce, one sun dried tomato and one roastted red pepper, added a couple of squirts of tarter sauce, a few tablespoons of ken's valdelia onion salad dressing, a quarter cup of sabrett's onion topping {usually used on hot dogs} and microwaved covered for 2 minutes, stirring, two more minutes, stirring, two more minutes, then add some grated parm-ramono-asiago cheese and let six until the spaghetti was cooked... really yummy sauce that could have only been better if i took the time to reduce it for thickness... i could have added cream cheese though, hmmm, next time :)

i love it when a meal is delicious and it takes longer to eat it to cook it... best of all, just one pot, one collander, a fork, a large spoon, and two microwavable bowls to wash (used a hard cardboard dixie paper plate as a cover)... of course the purist understands the limitations of frozen and pre-prepared sauces and additions, but still, flavor was YAY :)

no extra salt or butter/fat spread and no bread even, though i'll defrost the frozen garlic-cheese breadsticks for next time since i cooked enough for the next two days so with the leftovers already in the fridge, i am done cooking until monday in the new apartment so i can scrub the kitchen and oven and be done...

ate while typing this entry and now, back to packing :)

memories

the sound of music flashes on before my eyes (cuz my fingers press the remote, it's not magic) and the flash-backs to some of the most wonderful sharings of this life fill my head with misty memories (and my eyes with warm fuzzies)... this is when i miss sharing intimacy most, when i feel the wonderful emo that lives in memories cuz as much as life is a celebration for me every moment, the intensity of sharing intimacy does increase the visceral experience exponentially... the best thing about this moment, besides the feelings, is the fact that i can still feel them even after all this time (after all these years, too :)

do it again?... wouldn't it be nice...

life is a song

at the risk of repeating myself (risk?... what a silly saying), the song is on repeat in my brain (it happens now and then when a song catches my imagination... and it helps when there's a person or performance or visual or a video that inspires laughter or some other memorable emotion... the more affected the effect {or effected the affect}, the long it lasts and the longest lasting end up in my top hundred or higher of all time, which i'll tell you about one day if you are into music, want to know me, and are too lazy to find it in my web world yourself, nyuk, nyuk), so you might as well get used to it cuz it's playing all around me for the moment...

meanwhile, life goes on... how's yours? :)

beer run

used to be, a midnight beer run was either a sign of a good party or a poorly planned party... we are in the midst of both as we are on a midnight beer run... yes, a few words from the party... beer pong, lap dancing, boy-band videos, and nobody had to be hired (what a versatile team, aye?)... well, the light turned green so it's time to upload (yes, entries from the car, what a versatile blogger, aye?)...

have more fun, dammit! :)

why...

i do this, one minute, two minutes, even five minutes, i decide to sit and write a few words about life and the activities and experiences of the moments... all in the hope that someone will care enough to want to know… not perfectly every detail and not perfectly every moment, for i am only here a few moments out of the day, a tiny fraction of the 1440 minutes, of the the 86,440 seconds that make up a single day in the life…

and i ponder, is this not what every real close family is about, ultimately, to share those few moments of life each day, whether over a meal, or just before bed, or even on the phone for those few moments… a few moments to catch up because the caring never ends and the wanting to know how was your day is genuine…

so i do this a few moments a day, sometimes only to prove i can even when no one is around, even when no one asks… there are many who appear to share such a continuous bond... that is how i wish to share, that is the bond i wish to build and maintain, that is what i call family time, quality time… and why i am here...

woke up, and went to bed...

no need to drag a comb across my head, aye?... yeah, well, anyway, four hours was enough for this first sleep of the new year it seems and i laid there in bed comfy and warm and giggly (cuz beds do that to me, in case you never knew... if you ever wanted proof that the child inside is alive and well, much more than the excitement over food could ever demonstrate, just be there when i actually lay down under covers to welcome sleep) and as occasionally happens, the excitement woke me up so the writer wrote (cuz excitement does that to me, in case you haven't noticed)... yeah, we're getting to thereal :)

so i finally finished (and uploaded) the expansion of the RealTime™ entry that i mentioned was in progress behind the candoor in the RealTime™ entry to which i refer right here in this sentence (and entry) that provides the clues to the actual actions that occurred in thereal since waking and during that expansion, another rhyme slipped out that seemed to fit in the be with me garden so that is where it was uploaded and then, here we are…

so what now, new year? (and the excitement continues to build) :)

for now, a workout at the gym (yay)... hope your day is a yay too :)

and the excitement continues to...

build?... oh, such fun it is to ride and slay me, and as predicted, i am home early and the very act of leaving work early and having five days off (not counting the on-call status that could make life miserable with work at a moment's notice, but we won't think about that, ok?) in a row has me bouncing off the walls in spite of feeling like a recently stuff shrunken head (maybe we bounce better than the big empty heads, aye?)...

yes, so home and nothing to do for days (notice there are no plans on the calendar?... that's right, i intend to sleep... that's what santa is bringing me this year, and he promised, sleep sleep sleep... i'm gonna fall alseep sooner or later after this wired-to-the-rafters feeling wears off (and i only had one cup of tea the remove the zombie curse at 8am) and i will pass out and not acknowledge the existence of the world outside of my head until i wake up due to natural causes...

at least that's the plan... and i'm so excited i can hardly sit still... go figure (i am so easily self-amused... how could i not love me?)... i hope you find wonders and excitements in your own way (and mind) and thank you for the phone calls and text messages - you are really out there caring... i mean, i know, but it is so sweet to find the words on the screen or in my pocket :)

celebrate you! :)

ridiculouso

a virtuoso at the ridiculous, no doubt, but we'll leave it for jk to explain someday and just remark about the fact that i am still awake, foolishly grinning while alternating between sniffling and gagging... a half dozen or so bits of fluff and blood were blown and splattered about the net tonight while i really should have been sleeping... still, the write, the babbler, the peanut gallery, the heart, everything but the body feels wonderful...

sometimes, that's life :)

make yourself feel wonderful tonight too :)

pushing the envelope

and i am in it, nyuk, nyuk, splat... ah, these i am, here, even, all these hours after the previous entry, still awake, still, blurry and foggy and sniffly and all that, but now wired and bouncing around inside... playful interaction (and relating, actual relating, i think)...

yes, a good night of games and fun, stimulation and play, and language, people actual spoke with vocabulary words i have not heard in years... but themost exciting thing of all may be this little torn piece of paper that says call + tell me you're going for a run... now that isn't quite falling in love of magic moment material, but it is definitely something close to home (though a bit over thirty minutes away, actually, dang space and time always getting in the way)...

so six of us played, then five, then four and here i am, happy and feeling the connections with people growing another little bit slightly deeper once again... still so sensitive after all these years, yay :)

three hours sleep?... still crazy too... crash tomorrow night, please :}

hello out there... love life and you and it'll love you back... it's true, even if you don't believe it, even if you don't see it happening directly... meanwhile, the envelope is alright :)

busy fun fun fun fun fun

softball, singing, sofball, theatre, dinner with new people, and a couple of hours sleep... sunday was busier than usual, blink, pzzzzft, narf...

hope your weekend was fun too :)

blink again, evening

amazing, isn't it?... yeah, i know, the logic escapes us fools blogging away day after day for one or two crumbs a week, but i know you're out there (and i love my delusions and posterity finds me amusing, but that's gonna take a thousand years or a few to be seen, so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, even the parts you miss cuz they'll be here, or somewhere, when you finally catch up with the wheels of time)...

it's just too much fun for me to sit down after work, or before, or after softball or parties or game nights or whatever i do the other 95% of the time i am not writing, and babble on a bit as if multitudes of millions are waiting with baited breath for my next literary gem... and if a literary gem happens to be carved out of seventy billion words, cool, some lucky fool like us will find it and dance with glee over whatever it is, cuz that's what we do, ya know...

kittens and puppies and infants get it, even if they can't read...

so another fine day at work with fun and frolic cuz i have that autonomy and a few key bits get done and everybody's happy... my office looks like that guy in the basement of office space (really ought to clean it up, aye?) and we're all having fun (well, i am, it may take a while for the other humans to catch up)... the babbler is running around kicking all the words out of my head and so here i am waiting for dinner to cook and being a being without a tv, the music plays and until next i spit a few words into this box to inspire a smile (someday, you'll see), i say hello world, how ya doing?... yea, thereal in the house...

so, how ya? :)

postponed

the writing planned for tonight was postponed due to hours on the phone, which is classic irony for this night as the muses and the ethers and the energies are profound, what with the holiday... entries were added to the RealTime blog, along with music, and we'll be back tomorrow for more...
