"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Maxing

It's the year annevarsary of war, and so I was reading back blog archives. At its best, this is pleasently like reading an old journal; you get new insight into your present situation and discover wonderful language to lift for future applications. Witness this stuff from about 20 months ago. There's a hint of prophesy in the frist bit, the the old ring of poetry in the August 12th entry. Those were good days, even as they were full of struggle, and I miss their winsome flavor.

Mature content; spring equinox and all. Here's a non-hypothetical hypothetical question for you. If you were the first American a woman slept with, and you fell victim to premature ejaculation (let's be honest, shit happens), would that qualify as unfortunate, hillariously ironic, or both? I think both.

Well here's one thing...

At least John Kerry is a better snowboarder than I am. I tend to get the feeling with him -- as I do with a lot of prominant people -- that I could do better; however, after my recent experience, I have to give it up for his ability to carve. Lookin' sharp, brah.

ohyeah!

It's a weird time. I'm a little hung over from last night. Only a little; 4 or 5 pints of Guiness, and no tangy biking vegan from Seattle to stumble into either. That's too bad, I guess. I'm still lacking my mojo, or at least the energy and fortitude to whip it out and apply. I was thinking the other day about my faux-sex-symbol status at work (thanks Spacewaitress), and how/if/should I ever make that work for me. On a certain level I love attention like anyone does, yet at the same time I don't want to have to live up to any expectation or go out of my way to get my kudos.

Need to stretch more.

Back Swinging

I'm back in the bay, back to regular working. Back to probably blogging a little less here. I'm going to start trying to write a lot more on MfA, and I'll pretty much only use this spot for personal stuff. Maybe something interesting will happen in my personal life, but with the way resources are allocated I kind of doubt it.

Happy St. Patrick's day to ya cheers. Strange to think back at where I was just a year ago.

Sore

I attempted to learn to snowboard yesterday in pretty icy conditions. I fell a lot, and now I'm sore. Falling on icy snow is a a lot like falling on gravel; a few choice strawberries and a lot of bruses too. It also uses a whole set of muscles that I don't often exercise. I'm sore in ways I can only compare to the circle of pain -- an infamous quasi-transcendent group warmup and conditioning exercise -- from my freshman year in the Experimental Theater Wing.

It's been a heavy weekend. Lots more to do going forward.
