  • You'll never walk alone

    First off, that is an effing amazing song.

    Proof:


    Elvis did it to, but I just very slightly prefer Gerry & the Pacemakers
    .

    I'm hustling to try and get this out before midnight.

    today:
    more apartment talks, lease changes, talked price down, faxing lease tomorrow.

    kind of blew up facebook.. this is what happens when i'm at a computer all day.

    almost all packed.

    i once knew a little kid named chip who was obsessed with monkeys.

    i can't get the cd player off of random so i have to keep hitting 'next' until it goes to the song i want. this has taken a while...

    time's running out...

    I still haven't found a $6k check.. it's in my house somewhere. it's giving me panic attacks.

    despite this, i'm in a relatively good mood. excited.

  • Alone into the alone

    There's a notification process that must be followed. If one does not follow this process, it isn't soon forgotten. When you're leaving you tell:

    family->friends->everyone else

    I've been avoiding telling everyone else because I hadn't told my closest friends. That was what went down tonight. I was quiet all night, not knowing quite what to say, not knowing if the indigestion was due to the predrinks meal or the aimless thoughts of remote futurity. But.. we've grown up together... these aren't friends, these are brothers. We're as much blood as any other. There were times that I felt hopelessly lost, sitting in the old wooden booth.. as much of the finish scratched off in name as is untouched... making crude jokes that I can only hope St. Peter's ignoring.. but really thinking about the long and winding road that lay ahead.

    Alone into the alone.

    That's what it feels like. Travelling alone into the certainty of alone. I've never done this before, I've never left the halo of love that has encapsulized the first twenty odd years of my life. Even as I left for college, my father was my soccer coach, I had friends from home in the dorm.. I had a roommate whom I immediately befriended. I don't see that happening here.

    This is different. This is new. Not a smile in the city for me. I waiver between extremes with every thought... why am I doing this? why? because.. because at some point you have to leave what is comfortable behind and try for something.

    For me, it's only a job. Thank Christ for that.

    I've spent most of my life folding my hand, staying out of the game, losing blinds at hesitation. I'm getting fairly tired of it. There were lesser jobs with lesser risks, and that is the exact reason that I passed over them.

    .

    I don't remember what else I was going to talk about, but I guess it doesn't hurt to leave some for tomorrow.

    .

    oh, the real estate guy said "Let's make a deal we can live with" and i literally Laughed Out Loud. I think it offended him. whatever, that's a hilariously bad one liner. Funs are pun.

  • Send me your pillow

    Dearest women of the world,

    Specifically Zooey Gibbard, if you want to lose that zero and get with a... well, another zero..

    If you're wondering where to send your pillow (the one that you dream on,) write this down:
    2505 W. Kansas Ave.
    Tampa, Fl
    33629



    Side note:
    Zooey is of Irish and French decent. This clearly means that we were meant for each other.
    Gibbard is a dumb name anyways.. what's a gibbard? sounds like that gobbly thing on a turkey.
    a MEGAhan on the other hand.. well.. that's like ten times better than... what?
    Han.
    Han Solo?
    maybe.

    .

    It's time to start fresh.
    New blog for a new city.
    But until the day I move (friday?), I'll keep posting here.

    Since xanga brought out the new meta API, I might use that to cross-post and keep this thing partially alive... Zombie-style. I've already built my own iPhone mobile-site to post to xanga, though I've only used it in tests.

    .

    I'm happy.

    Yet I'm also scared witless.

    And my chest has been feeling like it's ripping apart. My old trainer from soccer told me it was chest wall pain, but the nurse I talked to said it sounded like stress...

    But that ish will be a post for tomorrow.
