off nights

all you do is treat me bad,
break my heart and leave me sad. 
tell me, what did i do wrong? 
to make you stay away so long

mineral at midnight

i just upgraded rooms in my apartment.  the new space is huge.  i really can't emphasize how amazing it  is to be able to practice my pirouettes in my bedroom. 

life is pretty cool sometimes.

tonight is pretty mellow, i'm just listening to mineral, still getting all my belongings settled in.  the most recent additions are two new plants, sheila and jojo.  I'm sure they dig all the natural light in this room as much as i do.  in other matters, i have an incredible trip coming up in less then a week.  mexico and mushrooms, here i come.

Dear You

as much as i try to put it out of my mind and pretend that i'm fine, the loss of you is still really killing me.  if only i could find some character flaws to hate you for. 

god, i almost wish i hadn't met you at all.  almost.

remodels

Finally decided to ride my bike to work today, it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be.  I'm trying to be a little less lazy.  Went to Txoko after work for a drink with Kwame.  It's a pretty awesome spot; i'm sure i'll be spending a good amount of time there from now on, considering the fact that i have some friends working there, the menu looks fantastic, and it's open late.  My bike ride home was actually really nice.  Only took about 20 minutes from all the way up in North Beach and when i got home there was some delicious coffee cake, from my roommate, waiting for me.  It's nice that Monday was a holiday, it feels like the week is going by fast.  Last weekend was surprise parties, westerns, poker, dice, whiskey, mushroom chocolates, pink rabbits, choward's gum, liquor store security cat, the phoenix hotel, birthdays, drunk night swimming, girls on LSD, drug den hotel rooms, flooded bathrooms and more.  I'm hoping this weekend will be just as eventful.

Sort of came to a realization today that i've lost my focus.  I've taken a really strange detour in my life and found ways to convince myself that this was my aim and that i'm content with the way i'm living.  i've become exceptional at lying to myself and it's really not what i want.  i have a lot of potential that i'm just letting go to waste.  i'm disgusted with how lazy and self indulgent i have become.  something needs to change.  fuck heartbreak, fuck bad times, fuck disadvantage.  i can't blame this on anyone but myself.

truth

easter sunday sweater, little rabbits on there.
i really should be packing my stuff right now.  i have too much baggage, i need to throw it all out and start over.
i need to forget that it ever existed.

hey coffee eyes

everything has been weird lately.  my lack of motivation combined with my alcoholism is making for a very strange lifestyle.  i've become almost entirely nocturnal, many nights drinking until around 5am.  i am not doing anything even remotely productive.  i feel like it's a phase though, i'm pretty convinced that my move at the end of this month will help to snap me out of it.  as for the more immediate future, tonight should be interesting.  it's diary night, which could end with me feeling 'pop punk' or feeling 'emo'.  i'm really hoping for some sort of happy ending tonight, but i expect nothing. 

thought i had my shit figured out, but i guess i'm just as fucking crazy as i used to be.

day after day after day

Lately, it's been looking beautiful outside my window.  But when I go outside, it's so cold.  nothing's as it seems.

last night was a crazy little neighborhood party.  drank a bit at work, than brought quincy over to my hood.  we went into the residence and got sucked into an alcohol driven frenzy that took us to pilsner inn and eventually to bill's house.  hangover central today.

  it's opening weekend for the giants.  i'm going to watch the game tonight at underdogs and try to buy tickets from a scalper at the ballpark for tomorrow's game.  i've got field club tickets to the game on monday, which is really exciting.  i can't wait.  tonight is the grand opening party for steve chen's new store, MAAS & Stacks.  it's also Aria's birthday party at the castle.  it's going to be a busy night, hopefully it'll be sufficient to keep my mind off other things.  tomorrow is JoJo's official birthday dinner at Juban Yakiniku in japantown, then karaoke, then sweaterfunk.  there's no time for me to miss you.

it snowed all night last night
and my world is falling apart.

la fin de la semaine

I finally found a primary care physician and got a check up today.  It's the first time in years and it feels really good to have done it.  now i need to find a good dentist in the city and get my teeth cleaned.  i'll be a whole new person.  February has been fast and fantastic.  i'm sure someday i'll understand it all and be able to put it into words.  but for now, duty calls!

it's really nice working a job where friday is actually a friday.

Kung hei fat choi

you make me want to throw my convictions out the window.  the broken one.

I'm ready to dive right in, ready for the rabbit.
and I've constructed a short list of "resolutions" I'd like to try out in the upcoming lunar year.

1.  Buy the Chronicle, everyday
2.  Cut back on alcohol consumption ($$$$)
3.  Attempt a more GF lifestyle
4.  Utilize my supply of slide film

And for the record, I'm really digging the bar next to my house, The Residence.  They fed me little hamburgers and shots of tequila for free tonight.  It was delightful to say the least.  I also enjoyed a good cup of espresso and some excellent tunes at Pirate Cat Radio, then had a fantastic dinner with Amelia, Nicole, and Scott at Blowfish.  The Ritsu roll was definitely my favorite of everything we ate, with the Pyramid of Tartare coming in second.  I also bought a bottle of the Yuki No Bosha 'Beauty of Akita' unfiltered sake that we all shared.  Not bad for a Monday night.
