Reasonless

Ugh... I woke up with a raging headache this morning. I feel like I'm harboring a hangover. I highly doubt it is one due to the fact that I only had one and a half alcoholic beverages last night: one Stoli Bloody Mary (at the Love Like Fire show) and half a Corona with a lime (at Shits & Giggles). The only explanation I can come up with is my exposure to the paint fumes I was inhaling yesterday afternoon when I was painting the closet in Woods' space. Unlike Sharpie fumes which can be fun, paint fumes are no picnic in my book.

So to overcome my increasing annoying problem this morning, I'm beginning my day with two glasses of Odwalla Orange Juice, an organic banana, and a Centrum vitamin. I've been doing well this week by having a full breakfast every day - thanks to Woods' culinary skills. The only thing I can make for breakfast is cereal. Cap'N Crunch is my speciality. But today I am forgoing the meal of eggs, bacon and hash browns for a minimalistic approach. Maybe not the best thing, but after all it is almost lunch time.

I'm quite delighted that I've now rearranged my sleeping schedule. No more late nights for this girl. Altho, a late night here and there can be good. But overall, I am just pleased with the fact that I have been spending the day accomplishing tasks that I have set for myself.

Today brings another coat of paint in the closet as the goal is to have the closet completed by next week. I also plan on going to the gym for a upper body workout. I have no plans this evening other than watching a NetFlix movie that has been gathering dust for about two weeks.

I had thoughts about trying to meet up with this guy I have been conversing with via the internet and text messages for the past year to grab some coffee, but it seems he wasn't available this evening. Sounds like a re-attempt is in order. I am trying to broaden my friendship base even tho it sounds like sex. I wouldn't strike out sex as a possibility, but friendship is hard to come by so I want to start there first. Since sex is so easy to come by and I already have a fuckbuddy base flourishing, I am trying a different approaching with this one.

And speaking of friendship, I am excited to announce that my big breasted lesbian twin from SF known as BJ is coming into LA tomorrow for an open ended stay here at Casa A2. She spent New Year's Eve here with Woods, Raya, and myself thanks to much badgering. And now she is back. Altho I will believe when I see it - I hate getting my hopes up. And nothing is worse than a queen scorned.

At least I am still beaming from the Love Like Fire show last night at Spaceland. It baffles me why that band has not made it into a bigger spotlight. Then again, with all of the media manipulation with train wrecks like Britney, Paris, and Lindsay clamoring for Top40 time (RIP Indie 103.1), I can understand that talented bands like this get over look. Ahem, calling the attention of the big wigs over at Coachella... take a look here:



And let's not get started on the Coachella line-up again, shall we? Good.

Coachella 2009

The Coachella line-up for 2009 is here.

All I can say is: Paul McCartney... wtf?

He DID break my heart

I've returned from Mammoth Mountain in one piece. I survived continued skiing for three days. I was originally supposed to be back in Los Angeles Thursday night, but the plans were scrapped since it's not very often I actually go skiing, and a chance to look like a baked potato in my ski gear.

Overall, the weather was fine. I say fine, since I don't do well in temperatures below 70 degrees. I know, I know... I am a big pussy, but growing up in an oven such as Tucson doesn't make you readily set for the snow and cold. Thank heaven for the heat in the room... even tho the lodge could smell like rusty stale farts at times. As immature as it sounds, it did!

Upon arriving back in Los Angeles, I finally took in a highly anticipated movie experience: My Bloody Valentine 3-D! I will say that I was pleasantly surprised and entertained. The pacing was well done, the acting was slightly higher quality for a slasher flick, and the 3-D trickery was, well, fucking spot on. Seeing blood spewing and airborne body parts flying from the screen was a treat in itself. I left the theater a happy little gore hound.

And the hand coming through the faux glory hole in the men's room after the movie was not so much of a treat than a rude awakening that evil lurks at every dark corner. Or in the guy in the other stall's case, a quite brightly lit and heavily traffic'd corner. Hence, why he was hanging out in the men's room looking for cock in the first place.

Apres

I'm off to Mammoth Mountain to freeze my tits off. I went skiing for the first time last year. Needless to say, I am not very good at it. But that will not stop me from trying again. Even tho I firmly believe that Mexicans do not belong on skis. They belong in the kitchen.

GHET to the mutha fucking TO

Oh shit. Tyler Perry is at it again.

Two-thousand and nine

Welcome to a new year. I hope the year ahead is full of safe and exciting travels.

I honestly don't believe in resolutions, but I do believe in goals. And I plan on continuing on the goals that I created for myself throughout 2008. I have slightly altered some of them due to events that I have experienced, but the projected end result is the same = to be happy. That's not to say that I'm not in a happy state currently, but I am no where in my life where I would like to be. But who is, right?

So what are my goals you may ask? Well, I have developed a list (in no particular order):

1. Find a job that I love (or at least work on getting a job that I love - i.e. screenwriting, using my creativity for something other than daydreaming)

2. Finish what I start (ahem, the blog for one example)

3. Finish the house (painting, organizing, remodel bathroom)

4. Buy a car (I don't regret selling Betina, but looking back now all I can think is "what the hell was I thinking?")

6. Make some friends (how high school!)

5. Get out more often (either by myself, with friends, with Woods)

7. Read a book once a month (or every other month at the very least)

8. Use my creativity (paint, create, performance, clothing, photo, video, writing)

9. Bring Toxic Waist (& her brother Gregg Ruled) out more often

10. DJ (well, learn how to DJ)

11. Gain 5 to 10 more pounds of muscle (I work out religiously already so now I need to step it up a bit)

12. Sex (more of it please)

I've put some deep thought regarding these goals that I set for myself to make sure they were attainable. Upon review of the list, I know that I can (and will) accomplish them. I used to make the most out of my life every day, but for some time I lost track of that. I feel that I am returning back to that direction. Oh the joys of a new day. And a new year.
