I Am Such A Shitty Blogger...

Okay... I've been a little busy... but not too busy to blog... I suck... I know.
Christmas came and went... I had a nice time (short and sweet) with my family... New Year was low key... Just like I like it...
I don't normally make resolutions... I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves, to start and stick to something definitive in January, thats bullshit, and I wont do that to myself... Last year I decided to learn to swim and kick my fear of water, and the challenge was awesome...

This year the list of things I want to do, is a little longer...
1) Sometime this year, I want to learn to two-step (maybe line dancing)... although I couldn't do the Electric Slide back in the day...
2) I'm also interested in learning to Salsa... I think this year is about music and dancing...
Btw... I'm not gay enough to be Lord of the Dance... I'm just sayin'
3) I want to start Violin lessons... I've always wanted to learn to play... As a kid we were dirt poor and my Mom couldn't afford it... So I'm really excited... I really want to play the bridge in Dust In The Wind.. LOL

I leave in 2 weeks (and counting) on my vacation to Australia... My second time out of the country... I'm such a slackass, I still haven't booked my Hotels in Brisbane or Sydney... Last Minute Michael strikes again... I'm not even sure why... Who knows... I'm excited about the adventure, also a little nervous (I seriously do not want to cause an international incident)...

Just an update... More to come later (maybe) You know how I am...

Ten Tiny Tings...

Big Daddy tagged me... So here are my Ten Tiny Tings...

1. When you were born, how much did you weigh?

5lbs. 4oz. ... I got here a little early... 4 weeks.

2. What's you're sugar poison?

Ben & Jerry's 2Twisted Everything But The... or
Peanut Butter Cup

3. If you had to choose between meat and cheese for the rest of your life,
which would you choose? Then be specific.

I would have to say Meat... Mmmmm Meat... Meat good...
Chicken, fish, pork... I'm not big on the red meat.

4. What, is your opinion, is the worst song ever?

Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy (1988)... Jeebus H this song drives
me fuckin' bonkers... I hated it when it came out... My own private hell
will be trapped in a room with this song playing on a loop... I'm just sayin'

5. Who was your favorite teacher growing up and why?

I would have to say Mrs. Mitchell... She was my 7th and 12th grade
English/Literature teacher... (She switched from Middle School to High School
some where in there) She was an amazing woman... She was the first teacher that
treated us as adults, equals, and sparked my love of reading... Comics, Sci/Fi... She
was awesome.

6. What personal activity, when performed in public, bothers you the most?

Although the nail thing is pretty nasty... I would have to say, blocking one nostril
and blowing through the other to clear it out, is something I would rather not see...
Having grown up in the south, it's quite common to see older gentlemen do this
outside... It's just nasty.

7. Ok, there's a $50 bill lying on the ground. You pick it up. Dumbfounded by your incredible luck, what do you selfishly purchase?

First I would check to see if anyone around me dropped it, If no one is around... I
guess I would stop by my local arcade and play for hours... Hmmm What a perfect day.

8. Do you have a recurring nightmare? If so, explain.

I don't remember much of my dreams as an adult... I had night terrors as a child,
screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night... breaking windows with bare
hands trying to escape from the house... sleep walking... and recurring nightmares...

One in particular, vividly stands out... I'm in a Semi truck (no trailer), no driver
we are on a windy dirt road in the woods... through the trees I can see a clearing
and a house... the lights are on... circling the house are old cars, trucks, and big
machines, like bulldozers and dump trucks (no drivers)... There are people trapped
in the house... Children... I have to get them out... I have to protect them... There is a
flash... I'm inside the house... I'm holding a girl telling her everything is going to be
fine... we are standing at the window... I see through the trees a Semi (no trailer)
no driver... I know help is coming... I hear a loud horn, and a crash... I would then
wake up screaming...
I can still see those images in my head, smell the smells, hear the horn... It still creeps
me out... What can I say... I'm a freak.

9. Name one place on Earth you've never been, but vow to visit at least once.

Egypt... I really need to see the pyramids... and maybe ride a camel.

10. You notice that question #9 wasn't really a question. You feel smart for catching such a small detail. What else can you do really well that reminds you how smart you are?

Ohhh... # 9 wasn't a question...

I tag Ms. Ashbourne, Kaori, Sue, Mistress Jessica, Katie O.... Ready Steady GO!

I Stole This From Sue.... ;)

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Fire

You are intense, internally driven, and passionate.
Your emotions are unpredictable - and they often get the better of you.
Both radiant and terrifying, people are drawn to you.
At your most powerful, you feel like the world belongs to you.

Why you would be a good superhero: You are obsessive enough to give it your all

Your biggest problem as a superhero: Your moodiness would make it difficult to control your powers

Missing My Chipmunks...

Monday, I went to the Doctor... We do a check up every 6 months... She likes to keep an eye on my cholesterol, and I like to keep an eye on the hottie at the front desk... apparently I missed one, so it's been a little over a year... We go through our normal routine... As I'm getting ready to leave... Do you want a flu shot?... um no, thanks tho... those things make me nervous...
(side note: My Doc has no sense of humor)... Every time I go, It reminds me this... I went, I was actually sick...
Doc- Well Syn... It looks like you have Acute Bronchitis...
Me- Awww, Thanks... Doc, are you hitting on me?
Nothing... Not even a half smile... You could hear crickets... (giggle)
The rest of my Monday is filled with errands... got a Christmas tree (Ugly Betty Style)... do a little Christmas shopping, this and that... Monday night feeling a little run down...
Tuesday, get up, get ready for work... about mid-day, I feel like shit... I head back to the Doctor's office, she checks me out... I feel so bad, I'm not even looking at hottie... She gives me my meds...I go home and go to bed... sleep, eat soup, sleep, water, sleep, pee, sleep... I'm not sure what day it was, I woke up, freezing... I put on clothes, get a blanket and lay back down... I woke up again... This is my train of thought, apparently I had a fever...
not sure what time it is it's dark I can't lift my head to see the clock don't even know if my eyes are open Ciccoco (roommate) is trying to kill me I know he's got the air on it's so cold he hates me I need to call Cinny (sister) she will know what to do she has kids she's gone through this before I mean you know you've had a fever but chills are different starve a fever feed a cold or is it feed a fever starve a cold I can't call her its probably like 3:00 in the morning how am I gonna get all that ice in the bathtub... and so on...
You get the idea... yeah, I had a fever 103.something... I have to tell you tho, I was a little disappointed... The last time I had a fever, I think it got up to 104...
I had hallucinations, not just delirium... I was laying in bed... There were chipmunks running around my room... No, not Alvin, not Chip and Dale... no clothes, more like Snow White... they ran around the room... jumping from here to there... Surprisingly, they didn't knock anything over... at one point... one of them jumped to the bed, close to me, but not too close... he just looked at me... I think he was trying to figure out why I didn't go to work that day... Hmmm...
I sure do miss them...

I should always do... Plan B...

Bizarro & Kaori
Bizarro & Kaori,
originally uploaded by SYN-RGY.
Every year for Halloween... I get, what I think is a great Idea for a costume... I have a storage container full of great Ideas... that didn't quite make it... I swear one year I'm just going to put everything on and go as the ghost of Halloween past... Plan A never works so I get a little crazy and then get inspired to do something else... So from now on... I'm going to bypass Plan A...
This past Saturday was the annual Halloween party at Brandon's house... Initially Plan A was Aquaman (my version)... You can't spray paint a wetsuit... So Plan B another wetsuit and some craft foam, and I'm transformed into Bizarro (evil Superman).
We had so much fun... Kaori (Lady Wrestler - Marguarita Rage), Ciccoco (Ugly Betty) and I hit the party in full force...
Also on the guest list... Big Hands and BF... It was my first time meeting BF... BF is very nice, truly... and attractive... and a great smile that warms a room... (of course I hate him... j/k) actually, we hung out for a bit during the night, and had a great time... I think everyone had fun, and I took pics of everything... (by everything I mean all the hot guys) I joined Flickr... It just seemed easier to post the photos there and link to it... So Sue... Have Fun... (I have a feeling you will like the pic titled "Good God"... I'm just sayin') I even made out in the middle of the street with the HOT Borg... Something I wouldn't normally do... I think it was the suit...
By the way... I'm just going to assume that most of you don't know this... the zipper on a wetsuit is in the back... when I drink beer, my bladder becomes the size of a quarter... I practically had to get nekkid in the bathroom just to pee... I opened the door and ran into "Good God" (literally)... Grrrrrr...
So that was my Halloween... I hope everyone has a good one... I also hope you can get to the photos... they are awesome if I do say so myself... LOL...

S'up.... or Forgive Me Blogger, It's Been A While Since My Last Post

S'up Bitches (borrowed from Gina Bruce)....
What can I say... Sometimes Life gets in the way of Living... I could make all these excuses, but I won't... So lets play catch up...
Gina Bruce... AKA G-Boogie came into town for a visit... I met him through my friend and co-worker Liz... like 3 or 4 years ago... I thought he was a complete cunt... of course we laugh about this now... Honestly he is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, with a sharp, burning wit (like a hemorrhoid... I'm just sayin')... and a smile that lights up a room... G-boogs and I over the past year and a half, have gotten closer... I started reading his blog, making comments, we emailed, IM'ed, text, and talked on the phone... I actually owe a lot to him... he inspired me to take that first step into the blog world... he's a wonderful guy... alright, enough with the mush... heres what we did... a group of us went to Dinner on Friday (Wahoo!), Dancing on Saturday (Amsterdam)... followed by an early (or late, depending on how you look at it) Breakfast (Landmark Diner), then finally Dinner on Sunday (The Roxx)... I had a wonderful visit with him while he was here... I'm so glad I met you... Crazy Bitch...

What else... oh... I've been working on my Halloween costume... Sue can you guess it?... I'll give you a hint... not a hero... LOL... I will definitely post pics...

Up next:
Passport? check
Tickets? check
Mankini? check
Sunblock? check
I have a list of places I want to see... this time last year, I drew a line through the first one... It was my first time out of the country, and I was traveling alone (no witnesses)... I was freaked out, and excited all at the same time, but I loved it (and the men)... (I'll post about that, with photos later) So, it's that time again... I've been planning the next vacation, which I've teased about... Well I did it, I finally got off my ass and booked my flight... January, I'm off to see the sights and sounds (men) of Australia... The history, the culture (men)... I can't wait... First stop will be Brisbane (men) (hey Shaney)... then on to Sydney(men) (hey Brenton from Aussielicious)... I think I just Pee'ed a little... I need to get in the gym...

I promise I will post some fun, and photo, or just plain silly... Soon
