Man, I've been wishing to get this DVD for the longest time. Now that it's out, what do I get?
The flu.
Christmas is still months away. My birthday has passed. I have bills coming out of my ears. I don't think I'll ever get this within the year.
Dang.
My lack of faith is disturbing...

No More Legs to Break
It's official.
I have zero writing skills.
I don't know when my journey from bad to atrocious peaked but now I feel like a blubbering fanboy. No coherent idea is forming. And trying to be funny and witty? Heh! I'm as funny as a dog endlessly chasing his tail in front of a flock of swans swimming in a lake. So out of place.
As for subject content, I have oodles. But trying to piece them together in a coherent and interesting way is really a head smasher. Take for example my "Could This Be A Movie" post. Man, could that be any worse?
I got to keep practicing though. But who am I kidding? I feel like Charlie Brown in the baseball stands wearing a baseball glove silently wishing to catch a ball so that the manager would notice him and immediately sign him up.
See?
That Charlie Brown sentence was so long that if you walked it from where you are, you'd end up in China.
And besides, why do I write? It's not as if, someone would contact me and immediately hire me as a writer without asking for credentials. Oh, wait, that already happened... Scratch that.
Anyway, I'll keep on writing. Why? Because I remember Stephen King's advice; If you want to be a writer, all you got to do is write. He didn't tell me that personally nor did he say that as is. But it's in the ballpark.
I still got my gloves on, you know.

THIS COULD BE A MOVIE
Last week, a real good friend of mine invited me to hang out with friends.
It was a cool get together. We started talking about life. Actually, we always want to argue. And that's what we did, we argued about stuff. I don't mean petty things like if Dave Matthews is God. But things like what true love is, if it really exists. Or how much is too much when it comes to sacrifice for the sake of love.
The trend here is love.
Well, see everyone there has a story. I call it the Story of Two. It's hard to explain, but everyone there are in a situation where there is a third party or is the third party. It's so uncanny. It was like I was in a filipino movie anthology.
Except for me and another friend, everyone else were women. Their stories are all different but so similar in a way. It's not my right to blurt out their stories here but that night (like in other nights), I saw what love (or the lack of it) can do.
True love is like a vampire. Almost everyone knows about vampires but only a few has really seen one. And that's if it was really a vampire that they saw.

COCOON
Dang. It's been more than two months that I have crawled under a rock and hibernated.
I don't know why but I have this urge to withdraw from everything and keep to myself. Maybe this is what they call the mid-life crisis. But at 36?!!
So what's been happening lately? Well, let me see:
1. My brother's birthday was last September 5. Happy Birthday, bro! Did you get my email? Thanks for everything and I hope you had a grand time.
2. Work has been hectic lately. Everything is a blur. I move from place to place and all I can remember is the taste of Jagermeister on my lips. Well, that and Jack Daniels mixed with Iced Tea. Now THAT is a blast. I think I'm turning alcoholic.
3. The kids have been bonding more with Tess now that I'm doing the daily grind. Oops. I mean nightly.
4. Gabbi is one of the finalists in the Science Quiz Bee. She's really excited about it. Plus, it's her birthday on the 15th. Given my financial status, we'll probably be going to the budget mall.
5. I'm still driving the Russian Roulette. I call my car that since:
a. The steering column is shattered and once while driving the whole steering wheel just fell on my lap.
b. The thread on the tires are already exposed so it's just time before I experience a blow out.
c. The fan for the radiator isn't working so everytime I stop I have to turn off the engine lest it overheats. Don't even ask about the airconditioning.
d. Sliding Clutch. THat means, you have to have legs of steel to shift. Plus the fact that it doesn't latch on to the gears properly.
e. The reservoir to the radiator is leaking (I think) so I have to fill the radiator everyday.
So riding Russian Roulette everyday is a real experience. If you get my drift. SOme of you might suggest having the car repaired. The whole thing will really set me back some major cash and at this point, buying a casket for me is cheaper.
Anyway, this is all I have the energy to talk about. I am really trying to get out of this rut. Posting this is probably the first step.
Oh yeah. I also am trying to quit smoking. From three packs a day, I'm down to a pack. Dang, I'm really cranky too because of that.
Now, where's my coffee?
