I'm Not Lost

"You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance." - Ray Bradbury

The Hiatus seems over for now. This is where I explain my absence and catch everyone up, but I think I'm just going to skip that part. I noticed that while I tried to do more of the living and less of the writing, so did a lot of my favorite blogs. I think John Mayer took a page from my book taking down his blog and posting "Done & Dust & Self Conscious & Back to Work." He will be back. Why did I not go the music route? I think I could put together some good lyrics. Maybe I'll just use those gifts for my unwritten screenplay/book.


I'm still pretty up to date on politics and each day picking a different candidate from the democratic top three. I think now I'll just look at it this way, I'm an Edward's guy. Mainly because of his intensity and his message of fighting back. Obama will be an amazing president, and my money is still on him. Today I saw Sen. Kennedy (Watch: Ted Kennedy Endorse Obama) give an endorsement speech that made me feel really excited about the prospect of Obama winning. Clinton who used to be my favorite and who I still adore has such an amazing team to bring to the White House and despite all the flack Bill is getting for advocating for his wife, I'm still a big supporter. The argument that they have a lot of the same goals so we are really just picking based on personality is somewhat true I think. They go through a lot of efforts to try and distinguish their policy objectives, but I trust them all and once in office well I'm sure I'll have many opinions on the particulars of each bill and decision. I mean what fun would it be if I couldn't arm chair quarterback the decisions of the commander in chief.

Here are my recent movie reviews. I saw Cloverfield. Had Blair Witch not come out I wonder if there would of been a stronger impact. It was fun to watch, but man I felt like I had to really try to pay attention. I also saw the movie Juno. Now that was great. I didn't think I would enjoy a movie about a girl who gets pregnant --her life and times, yet her character was amazing. Reminds me of a young Jenine Garafalo, (her character) but not as cynical. It has that indie feel to it and deserves that Best Picture nomination. (Atonement also got the nomination.) There was a part of the movie where the husband guy has this one room where he gets to put all of his stuff. His own place while the rest of the house was by default the wife's. It reminded me of the Marty room, the room I could have dirty and anyway I wanted as long as I kept the rest of the apartment clean. It was a good compromise, but if it were a house, I think I'd want more than just one room. Wait, NO, I want the House - yeah the Marty House, it has a good ring to it.

I registered to vote in Texas. I actually did it in time to vote in the Texas primary on March 4th. Who I'm voting for I'm sure will change as the days pass. I've voted in a lot of different places, NY, TX, VA, and FL. My vote is usually the deciding vote so I'd better make sure to show up. You too Vote, but if you don't, you should really vote in November, I mean it is the foundation of our representative democracy. I don't know why I encourage uninformed voters to vote, I mean isn't it better they don't vote? Still I think everyone should exercise their right.

I switched in my Treo for a Centro. Probably a bad call since the Treo has a bigger keyboard, but I just wanted a smaller phone. I'm still pretty happy about it. I'm trying to fight off the urge to want an iphone, but I think I can wait for the 2nd generation one. There is a long story here, but I'm not going into it, let's just say, the police have more important things to deal with.

Danny moved out of Oscar's place. I have yet to check out his new place. I have converted his room into a multimedia room. I have my computer, TV, desk, and a futon in there. Kind of like a fun TV watching home office. So far it working great, but I'm having a lot of problems with the not being able to watch my TV from bed. My room is now just for sleeping and I rarely spend time there. I just hang out in the media room. My problem right now is that I fall asleep on the futon watching TV and wake up in the middle of the night and go to bed. That sleep on the futon isn't too great, since well, it is a futon. Maybe the real problem is the falling asleep too early part.

I had a dream the other night that I was in Venice on a gondola. There wasn't a guy there steering the boat, but it was starting to drift off as I could see the Tower starting to fade a way. It was very relaxing, nice.

Yeah, I am the kind of person that would go back for her
