no one of consequence.

Someday I’ll get to be who I am inside my head.

Someday I’ll be able to just enjoy my life, and to take it where I want to go.

Someday, my brain and my body both will end the ceaseless rebellion against my Will.

Someday I’ll be able to paint again.

Someday I’ll have no reason to worry.

Someday I’ll be able to throw these goddamned cigarettes away and not care.

Someday I’ll fit back into those jeans I bought when I was 19.

Someday it’ll all just work, for more than fifteen minutes at a stretch.

And someday this goddamned motherfuckin Migraine will go AWAY…

It really is ridiculous that after spendng so much time actively avoiding working for brokers, I still end up talking to them on a daily basis. The gods have a twisted sense of humor. Or is that spite?

Also with a twisted sense of humor, is my Stepmonster, who forwarded a Jury Duty notice to me today. Somehow I doubt I can get a couple of weeks off to report to Jamaica for possible jury duty! Brain says OW.

I cant reply, since he didnt send the return envelope, but I cant fix it online, because I have to report that my address has changed. Which it has, in a major way. The really funny bit is that I cant provide the documentaion they want to register a change of address. They want a tax form, AND two utility bills. Now I can provide my Canadian tax return, but the utility bills are all in Lee’s name. I dunno, maybe I can send a copy of my PR card.

Or I can just do what everyone else in the country does and ignore it.

OK, so now we know who the slayer of birds is. I had my suspicions, based on who it is thats fond of feathers, and I’m proven correct.

Charlie just brought us a sparrow. This one was still alive, and almost got away from him here in the apartment. He recaptured it, and after I followed him through three circuits of the apartment in an attempt to get it away from him, has taken it back outside.

Lucky has also been doing his share. He was under the rack that holds the coffee-maker and toaster oven the other night, his furry little head planted into the gap under the wall heater there. Which is hands-down the most popular mouse entry to the kitchen. Apparently he prefers prey that scurries rather than flapping.

Circle of life folks. Your furry little princelings and princesses are carnivorous hunters. Just be happy for those days when you dont have to clean up after it.

Im feeling Obama-Festive today. So to diverge from my usual road of the stark black desktop, I threw together the Obama ‘08 logo (which I happen to think is some DAMN good logo design) with THIS wallpaper I found at DeviantArt after some random googling. Meet my new desktop image, and feel free to share it if you like, download link is HERE.

Ok, so now I know at least one of my readers is going “oh god, not another Obamatron. Let me just put it out there.

A) I’m a Socially Liberal Democrat. Have been since I was about ten and started reading The New York Times. Do I blindly follow party lines? No, I have voted Republican, Independent, and Libertarian when I felt the candidate best suited. Democrat is rather my default setting though.

B) As far as Mr. McCain, I disagree with much of his foreign policy platform, and his anti-abortion stance. I am highly mistrust full of his chosen running mate, who has been quoted as supporting teaching Creationism in schools, and who is also strongly anti-abortion.

C) The repugnant continuing use of 9/11 images and footage by the Republican party (RUDI, STFU ALREADY!) and at the RNC leaves me utterly disgusted. It is inappropriate, it is disrespectful, and to my eye it is nothing but fear and hate mongering.

So Obama it is.
