01.06.11 - no dice

The new year has been okay so far. It's strange to start it without a downtown gig and a bruised ego. If that's the worst thing to happen though, I'll be very happy.

I went to court for my Austin case a few days ago. I have to complete 24hrs of community service within the next year and stay out of handcuffs as well. If I can do this, the charges against me will be dropped. I'm hoping like hell I won't get arrested again.
The Houston case will be resolved once I submit payment of my fine and court costs which are due at the end of this month. I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to come up with the monies but whatever. This chapter of my life is almost closed and I'm going to be ecstatic when it's all finally over, once and for all.

So far I've placed two ads on craigslist for one of the dogs. Finding him a new home is going to be very challenging. I anticipate nothing less. Particularly because I want to find him a home with someone who really wants a shadow in the shape of a loving little boy. He'd be great for someone who wants a companion, not just a dog in the yard. I think if he was smaller, he'd let me swaddle him in a blanket like a little baby. Anytime I go to pet his head he instantly rolls over on his back. Silly thing.

Speaking of challenges, I'd also like to spend 2011 figuring out some kind of future for myself in terms of education. As much as I'd like to rule out ever going back to school, I feel like it'd be a stupid move. If I knew what I wanted to do, going back would be so much easier. I realize I might change my mind about it, but as long as I'm changing my mind about one thing and moving to something else then that's perfectly fine with me.

01.15.11 - censor

I normally don't like to delete comments from readers even when they're talking shit to me but some of the stuff posted on the tagboard had to be removed. It was one particularly disgusting comment that caused me to go ahead and delete everything by the same poster. I don't take kindly to that type of shit and I won't hesitate to remove it immediately.

Anyhoo...
I didn't sleep last night and spent about 4-5hrs in a steaming hot bath. My house was so cold you could see your breath last night so I ran the water as hot as I could stand it and steamed up the bathroom. I brought my favorite toys in with me and came 3 times!

Thumbelina is on her way over to run some errands. In exchange for dragging me out of bed to do her bidding, she is buying me breakfast. I'm going to sneak some pervy pictures of her if I can help it and post them! Hah! Breakfast is over in 15min. This bitch better get here fast dammit.

01.21.11 - high hopes

The other day at work one of my coworkers I really like working with said he had such hopes for 2011 but 18 days into it: pffffftttttttttttt.
That's exactly how I feel.

It's been easier coping with the passing of Early once she was buried in this lovely spot by my beloved rose bushes. It's a perfect spot. It put my heart at a little ease being able to give her that. It's so strange without her. I've had her since before I bought my house.

The flooring install takes place on the last day of the month. It's quite a deadline and I have not completed all the necessary tasks before the install can take place. I have a good feeling I will once my balls are a little closer to the band-saw. We'll see.

Redoing the blog layout makes me happy. I like it. Like old times.
I have a bunch of photos on one of my computers that I plan on adding into the photo gallery I mentioned a couple months back. All I need to do is upload everything, bridge the album to joomla and registered members will have complete access. The photos consist of all the old NoGossip content from the days of enemiesabound.com.
