My First Blog. How exciting. I have been meaning to start this for over a year. I have really been meaning to start this for about 8 months. So here it is. I am assuming that this gets easier the more you do it, but I will make an effort this time.
I have chosen to title my blog "The Waltz" as in the waltz of life. The title is inspired by the sequences of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The silent, graceful moves of the space scenes devoid of sound except the beautiful waltzes. I often wish my life were more like that. My ipod has helped me accomplish that goal to some degree.
I picked up knitting again last night. I started about a year ago and lost interest. Started with too difficult a project so I am starting off more simply this time. So far so good. It is going to perhaps be a dog bed. It sounds harder than it is. It is simple pattern and if I get bored I can turn it into something else.
Robyn, one of my inspirations for beginning this project (is this really a project?) and my poo confidant, is having a birthday party this Friday. A Xanadu themed skate party. I am making the birthday cake, chocolate. I am rather nervous about attending. I will have two ex-boyfriends there. Lying bastard asshole and Paul. I have not seen John since I moved out and I have not seen Paul since the Howard Deen rally in 2004. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a fabulously perfect date which was my original plan for dealing with the stituation. So I guess I will just have to look amazing. I think my outfit will consist of my Seven jeans and my new perfect yellow shirt. 'Sigh' I really should put more work into dating.
I had communication this week with an old friend, John from Kinko's. I was glad to talk to him. It has been at least a year and he seemed glad to hear from me. He was in Santa Fe with his boyfriend, when he gets back we are going to meet for lunch and catch up.
Passions was mildly exciting yesterday. Phyllis the maid was murdered, presumably by Sheridan's husband Chris. This will most likely not be proven. Phyllis has been on the show for years and I am surprised by her demise. The return of evil Julian is the only other activity worth mentioning.
I really need to start exercising. I want to get my bike fixed and start riding again. It has been too long. I was getting good about my yoga but got out of the habit. It would not be hard to get back in it. I also want to start running again. I saw something on my health insurance website about gym discounts. I really should look into that. It might be a nice place to meet someone or get a date, or maybe make myself attractive enough to get asked out. 'Sigh'. I really have no excuse for not trying. I have time and I am able.
It is strange being single. This is the longest I have ever been single since coming out. It has been about five months now. Rusty was sort of fun but I liked the idea of him more than I really liked him I think. He never called and he can kiss my ass. I really should not judge so hard seeing as I cannot find a date. I could try harder, but dammit, as I always say "I'm the prize". I should not have to try harder. But then again I am not as young as I used to be. I suppose that is why I need to start working out. Why are fags so judgmental? I guess I should know since I am just as guilty. Of course I have narrowed my options drastically when I decided no more fatties, losers or drug additcs. I have been thinking about laying off the geeks too. I may need to balance this out by dropping my German car only rule. Although that has never been so much a rule as an unintended pattern.
I love the new Thom York album. So far my favorite tracks are 1, 6,7 and 8. Mostly 1 and 6. "Peel all your layers off, I want to eat your artichoke heart". Brilliant. Screw the critics. "The more you try to erase me the more that I appear".
I have been getting cravings for cigarettes lately. They are worse than they have been for months. I am not sure why they have just started like they have. I have been able to resist so far. I should note however that I have been a non-smoker for over 8 months now. I am proud of myself.
tomorrow I intend to go and vote early. I am going to vote for Kinky. I don't like Bell, Strayhorn is retarded and of course Perry is a douchebag. I am voting Democrat for everything else. I am approving all but one bond issue for the city despite my mixed feelings out the Great South Trinity River Forest Project. Despite the possibly invasive construction it does let the city acquire and protect the land.
North Korea is creepy and the Republicans are idiots.

Huh, that was not too hard.
