My little sim card thing... was in the phone. So I've lost every phone number I had. Considering the only phone number I could remember was my mom's (I've never dialed Dina's number- she called me and I saved it), I've got no numbers. So if I had your number, could you either A) call me or B) email me your number? Thanks! http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=358 http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/archive/357.html Fri, 20 Oct 2006 05:04:42 GMT I have a fantastic job- I have a comfortable chair, a lightning fast internet connection for web browsing, I get paid to take classes/tests (plus sizeable bonuses when I pass), and I can come and go at my leisure. My salary is embarrassingly large for being twenty four, and it's still growing. I've got an office while most of my friends are in cubicles, at best. Plus, I get paid to break things. Software in particular. Someone else develops something, and I try as hard as I can to make it act i a way that it shouldn't, or make it break something else, or whatever. My job isn't to...

The best part, though? Better than Jeter weeping, better than Schilling's variation of the red sock, better than Wakefield slamming thef door, better than never trailing in the World Series, better than Damon and company doing shots before each game... Every time... EVERY SINGLE TIME... a team is down 3-0, the commentators have to mention the Red Sox achieving the greatest comeback of all time... and the Yankee's suffering the greatest collapse of all time. And no, there isn't much argument... (more) http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=356 http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/archive/355.html Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:33:28 GMT Well then. First things first- Dina and I are doing better. Whatever issues we had have found a way to clear up, and our lives are infinitely better than they were a few weeks ago, so... that's great. Second, I think it might be time to take up the pen again... figuratively, since I never write anything more than a sentence or two long by hand. I've got some time, I miss the cathartic experience, and I miss the fan letters (and pictures). ... The last line isn't completely true- at the most popular I ever was, I'd get two or three emails/messages a week saying "Love the...

Things with Dina... they're not good. Not at all. We're on two different paths, with me wanting one thing and her wanting another, and it's just... winding down. We fight about things we shouldn't fight about. We do things to hurt each other. We're in a toxic relationship, in other words, but I'm unable/unwilling to get out. Then there's the fact I've nailed her on a few lies... big ones. I don't know if I can/want to trust her anymore. I love her. I believe she loves me. That probably isn't enough. http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=354 http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/archive/353.html Tue, 06 Jun 2006 04:25:57 GMT I don't know if I feel like writing about sex right now. See, I'm hurting. A few days ago, while cleaning off my AIM buddy list, I decided to unblock an ex-girlfriend. I figured it'd been over a year since we split, and hey... I doubt it'd hurt to talk to her now, and I do miss just talking to her. Yeah, well, she's online right now. I checked her profile... there are lots of music lyrics dealing with love, and the words "I love you baby!" Yeah, for some reason, I wasn't ready for that. I knew she was dating someone, had known it for a long time... but seeing it in her profile hurt. Don't...

I can walk around naked. I can burp loudly and proudly. I don't have to apologize when the dog thinks that you're being incredibly rude by sitting in his usual place. I can make dinner when Dina and I are hungry, and eat what we want, without conversations like: "So what do you want?" "I don't know, what do you want?" "I don't know, what do you want?" ... for hours on end. But mostly... I get to have loud, no-holds-barred, wild, passionate sex again. Excuse me while I do just that. http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=352 http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/archive/351.html Sun, 28 May 2006 04:54:03 GMT I want my fucking apartment back. But because I'm trying to be nice to Dina... I'll be quite until Monday. Goddamn, but pretentious artists make me want to puke. http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=351 http://smokinglife.blogdrive.com/archive/350.html Sat, 27 May 2006 03:39:37 GMT Charter, my internet/cable company, finally came out and replaced my modem... it died Sunday night. Every day, at 8:45 AM, they'd call to see if anyone was home. At 8:45 I'm in a meeting, every day but Friday, and I can't answer my cell phone, the only way to contact me and the number on the account. So Monday, realizing this, I told them to call Dina's number- she's home during the day, and she'd answer and let them in. They kept calling me. I'd call them back at 9:15, when the meeting was over, and they'd tell me "When you don't answer, we assume you're busy that day and push you to...
