Who would think a collection of fuck-ups would lead to something this good?
This Raleigh Life, entry X:
I can't believe I've all ready been in Raleigh for what...7 months? It seems like last week that I was sitting in that old funeral parlor apartment, pretty much hating my life aside from a few factors. It feels like 3 days ago I was sitting in this tiny house of an apartment with no connection to the outside world, and only one friend in the area. Those first two weeks were Hell. I wanted to say "Screw it, I'm going back to Chesapeake." Thank God I can be stubborn when it comes to me.
I was thinking back to my life before Raleigh a few days ago. And it's so strange, that everything that lead me to being here was so completely backwards and idiotic. And it all started, really, with a terrible, soul crushing break-up almost 2 and a half years ago. Or was it longer? It feels like a life-time ago. Everything that happened from that point to the point where I left Chesapeake has been a clusterfuck of a fail, one after the next. I won't go and list every mistake I made, but I look back, and I can't help but think "What the Hell was I thinking?"
The fuck-up collection kept growing. Moving to Raleigh was a mistake. Or, at least, it was in the beginning. I wanted to move away from Chesapeake, and I had my sights set on somewhere near Philadelphia. Then communication started with someone I'll only refer to as "the ex" because I don't want her name showing up in this (mainly ignored and often forgotten) blog. Communications got to be more frequent. I was called from a bathroom, in secret, on my birthday. I was called while I was recovering from my ruptured disc surgery. I was called on the way to and from work. I was told things that made me think "Hey, maybe it's actually not over,"
Then moving came up, and the second shot came up after a visit. Road trips and visits were made by me to her. Things seemed wrong, but I'm far too much an optimist to have seen it. Who was I fooling? A week before I moved, everything fell apart. I'd been rejected for someone else again. I moved to Raleigh specifically for a second shot at greatness. And here's the thing, I got it, and it had absolutely nothing to do with her, and it did, all at the same time.
For the first time in, what, years, I could stop trying so fucking hard. I was, essentially, free. No more chains and everything. No more pretending to enjoy shitty music, or movies, or seeing valid points of the other side of politics, or anything. I was free to be me again, with no one to impress. I became what I wanted to be again. I missed me. I missed finding little-known bands, or being totally open about my dislike for the Republican Party (no offense what-so-ever to those who don't share my views.) The list is long, and I'm not about to point out everything. But, I'm me again. No more trying, no more getting my hopes up, no more worrying.
Work started to be fun again. I quickly made a ton of friends at my new store who, even if I ever leave that place, I won't lose. I got used to the roads, and found the cool spots to hang out at. I found out the joy of driving into downtown before rush hour hits to buy comics. I've found some joy (not much) in reading in an old laundromat.
And then, I met her. Desiree. Good God. It's astounding that I've found someone like her, AND I get to maintain that easy-going, none-impressive aspect of myself. There's NO changing myself, or filtering myself, or anything. She sees me for me, and that's more than good enough for her. I can honestly say I can't remembering ever being this happy before. She treats me so well, and I think I treat her equally. We always have a blast at whatever we do. I know I've written about it, but it bears repeating. Whether it be going to the comic store, to Ed McKay's to find a cheap book or DVD, or to The Noble because I forgot my paycheck on a Thursday night, staying in and watching a shitty werewolf movie (redundant, I know), or playing video games while she does a crossword, or driving to Chesapeake for a visit, it's all good. It's all amazing. I'm never bored with her, which is something I can't say for a single girl I've ever dated. I enjoy every single second we spend together. When she leaves, I hate it. I can't leave for work in the morning without tiptoeing back into my room to kiss her forehead gently without waking her. I wonder if she even knows I do that. I love the moments when I wake up before her, and she's lightly talking gibberish in her sleep. In short, I treasure her.
And that all goes back to the title of this little entry. Who would think a collection of fuck-ups would lead to something this good? All of the loneliness, the despair, the rejection, the hopelessness, it all seems like such a tiny price to pay for the happiness I now have. Do I forgive the person who put me through all of that? Fuck no. But, in some weird, sick way, I'm so glad it all happened the way it did. I wouldn't do a single thing to risk what Desiree and I have, and for the first time in 2 and a half years, that's the truth.

If I could take the fire out of the water...
Today's weather is the best weather. It's around 55, partly cloudly, and breezey. Sometimes I wish I didn't care about work and money, because I want nothing more than to call out, go pick my girlfriend up, and go to Lion's Park. I sat outside today, on my front steps, and I drank a soda and smoked a cigarette, and watched the yellow, orange, and brown leaves rolls around the uncut grass. I wore a green and gray hoodie that kept me warm against the almost biting breezes. The sun was peaking at me over the clouds, but wasn't too overbearing causing me to squint.
My life, for the most part, has been amazing lately. I'll get the complaining out of the way first. Money is still extremely tight. I allow myself a couple comics a week, but that's about it. Oh, and I also bought the 3rd Volume of It's Always Sunny because Sheryl informed me that it was on sale at Target. I couldn't pass it up for $15. I also think my back is not as healed as it should be. Either that, or my right leg is somehow fucked up. I can't keep it in one position too long. When I recline, that's when it hurts the most. That's what makes me think it's my back. I'll be going to the doctor's after rent is paid, and I have a day off.
And now, on to the good stuff. First and foremost, it's Desiree. She makes me incredibly happy and puts up with all of my peccadilloes. I don't think it's just that whole "It's new" thing going on, either. I am really, truly happy with her. Whether it be going out and running errands, snuggling up and watching a movie, taking a mid-day nap, or even playing Xbox while she does her old lady puzzle magazines, I just always enjoy spending time with her. We went home this weekend, and she got along with all of my friends, and my parents love her.
The trip home was good, but also sad at the same time. I still really, really miss Chesapeake, and sometimes I feel like Raleigh is only temporary, and that I'll eventually move back. No time soon, though. I'm having too good a time. Maybe that desire to go back home will fade, but I can't help but feel better when I'm there.
Mandy and Shaina are probably on their way to Apex at the moment. I'm so happy that my two best friends are going to be 20 minutes away, rather than 3 hours. It sucks, though, that they're moving right as work (for all of us) is getting insane, which means it'll be hard to juggle everything and find time when we're all off to spend time. But, even so, it'll be 10 times easier now that they're here. We've all ready talked it over, and we're making sure we all get a specific night off to have a Justice League Night (which I'm sure will just turn into Nerd Night).
Speaking of Justice League, while back home, Des and I went to Trilogy, and they were having a 50% off back issue sale, so I dug through the boxes and picked up every issue of the Justice League "Breakdowns" arc.
I read a write-up of this arc months ago in Wizard Magazine and have always wanted to read it. I was amped to find each issue for no more than $2.00 a piece, so they were mostly $1.00 each after the sale. And since there wasn't a single book that came out this week that I bought, I felt that it was ok to buy the entire arc. I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and I fucking love. I love comics from the early 90s. It reminds me of growing up. Only because I didn't read ANY DC books, it's like a trip down memory lane, only it's stll 100% new to me. Also, while reading, it's made me pine for a Bruce Timm style animated show. It feels like I'm reading a lost Justice League Unlimited season. Like with JLU, the first time I watched it, I barely knew any of the characters. They were all familiar, but I didn't know any of them specifically. And, with Guy Gardner really being the only exception, that's what this is. And it's great, because I'm all ready loving the characters like Blue Beetle, Fire, Ice, Silver Fox, and Captain Atom. I know it'll never happen, but it would be so awesome to have a show focusing on these "B Level" super heroes.
And for now, that's all, kiddos.

This Raleigh Life Part X
So it's been a while since I've updated.
For those who didn't know, Desiree and I are officially a "couple". Yes, she is my (awesome) girlfriend and I am her (awesome) boyfriend. Things are very good, although we're still taking things slow and being smart, and all that stuff. She's the best.
She came over last night, and put me in a better mood (shitty day at work) and we woke up and ran errands. A stop at the comic store and Wendy's later, we came back home and took a nice long nap. Afterwards, we went to her house, she cooked a frozen pizza I bought, and then I came home.
I feel weird writing too much about our relationship and what we do. Maybe after having my last serious relationship in so much of a spotlight (even that made me laugh) I'm kind of enjoying it being low key.
Work has been pretty good, although somewhat frustrating. I've been busting my ass selling member cards and charity book drive books, but no one else really is, so our conversion rate is still low. It's nice that all of the managers have come to me and let me know that they know how hard I'm working and how well I'm doing, but at the same time, I want the store to be recognized, not me. But hey, I'm also not about to stop them praising me.
Ok, Guy Gardner moment over.
The Belle & Sebastian BBC Sessions album comes out on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to that very much. While researching the album, I found out they also released a collection DVD about 5 years ago. This was also ordered, if only for the live performance of Lazy Line Painter Jane with guest star Monica Queen.
For now, this is it.

I woke up in a shitty mood today
I woke up late this morning, and I was in a pissy mood. For some reason, I still am.
I'm glad Obama won last night. I voted for him. But what disgusts me is everyone who didn't vote for him. I understand you're bummed he didn't win. I get that. But Jesus Fucking Christ, people. Shut the fuck up about your bitching. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be sitting here, pissing and moaning if McCain won. Yeah, I'd be bummed, but I'd also be looking at it with the prospective that maybe some good will come out of it. People need to stop seeing things in black and white (or, in this instance, blue and red) and try to find good points in Obama, just like I would be finding good points in McCain. It's astounding to me that people assume he's sitting at home right now, laughing like a madman because he tricked America into voting for a Muslim Socialist. It blows my mind. People, stop reading stupid articles written by Extreme Conservatives. Stop taking everything Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and SNL has to say as pure fact. I'm a democrat, and if I go by the "democrat outline" I should have assumed that McCain is/was a War Monger who only wanted to raise taxes on the little guy and make profit for big business and continue this war until we own the Middle East. But, I don't listen to every article written by an Extreme Democrat. I listen to what THEY say (they being the actual people in question) and form my own decision.
"Obama wants to spread the wealth" is such a rediculous claim. Yes, he wants to raise taxes on 5% of America a full 3%. Oh good fucking Lord, that's so terrible. Of course, ya know, the idea of 95% cutting a TAX CUT is overlooked. This country is in the fucking shitter, and he's trying to CHANGE it. And hey, I know McCain has plans of his own. Before this election process started, I always said "If McCain runs again, I'll vote for him," Well, he lost my vote in the past 6 or 7 months. He was trying to be something he wasn't. He made, quite possibly, the worst VP choice in the history of the country. I gave him a fair shot. (And I know I'm going to piss some people off with this next thing) Republicans hardly EVER give any non-Republican any of their time. Obama could've been running against a bag a cat shit, and Republicans would still vote for the bag of catshit. People need to stop viewing this country as a Republican or Nothing country. It amuses me that these people throw out terms like Socialist and Communist. All over the country, and first hand here in North Carolina and Virginia, tons and tons of Obama signs were taken from people's yards, only to be returned with Swasticas painted on them. And I'm not saying that no McCain signs were taken, but the difference between the two was substancial. People like that, these Republicans or Death people, scare me. What's next, America? If I decide to vote for another Democrat, and if I fucking CHOSE (ya know, that whole theory this fucking country you love so much is based from) to put a sign in my yard, what do I get next time? Are you going to light my yard on fire? Wait for me to leave the house and then attack me?
And sure, maybe I'm being a little sensative here, and I'm not talking about anyone I know personally (at least, I fucking hope none of my friends took any signs out from people's yards), but behavior like that makes me fucking sick. Because I feel like it's one step away from "Man, the country would be so much better if I bombed the next Democratic (or any non-Republican) rally."
In closing, to those Democrats who won, we can celebrate together. Maybe a Time of Change is really coming. Maybe it is the Dawn of a New Era. To the Republicans who lost, I'm sorry. But this isn't the fucking time to bitch and moan about it. I understand that you're bummed out, I would be too. But stop thinking Obama is going to run this country into a shithole. He's NOT a socialist, he's NOT a communist, and he's GOING to listen to every side of every story, and he's GOING to try to make this country the way it should be, the way it used to be. And to those Republicans who listened to Obama's speech last night, and who think "Maybe he can help bring in change" and who have hope for this country...Tell this to your fellow Republicans. We need more of you. This country needs to stop being so fucking divided. We need to work together to make this a better place.

A post from a lazy day off
I haven't updated my blog in quite some time, now.
This last week has been Hell. I just got done working 8 days straight on Thursday. I go back in tomorrow, but only for 4 days, then I'm off for 4 days, in which I'll be taking a little trip.
Yesterday I pretty much hung out with Desiree all day long. It was great. I picked her up around noon, I think. We ate lunch, then bought comics. After that, we went out to Durham (because I'm an idiot and left my paycheck there) and then dropped by the bank. We went to Ed McKay's and she sold some stuff. She gave me some of her credit to compensate for having to drive forever way to pick her up and drop her off. With it, I got Freddy Vs. Jason on DVD, the 1st Friday the 13th, The Cell by Stephen King, and An American Werewolf in London on VHS.
We came home, and she gave me a nice long back massage because I'd just worked all those days in a row. It was very, very nice. Afterwards, I grabbed a bunch of DVDs I'm not going to watch anytime soon, and took them to McKay's to help with this month's rent. I got about $45 and I bought a Halo novel for $1.65 just because I felt like reading something lame. I guess it's my version of a romance novel.
After that, we grabbed dinner and came back home. We watched The Office and It's Always Sunny, and then just laid in bed, and she listened to me talk about how hard this Raleigh life has been. I felt a thousand times better. I drove her home late, and got home around 1:15 or something. I read a few of the comics I bought, and promptly passed the shit out.
Today I slept in till 12:30, which I never do, and I usually hate sleeping that late, but I figured I needed it. I woke up and talked to Mandy on the phone for a short bit, and then took a shower and watched Freddy Vs. Jason. After that, I played Halo 3 for a while, and now I'm here, talking to Desiree on AIM.
So I think I'm going to be calling Time Warner and unsubscribing to their digital cable and DVR service. As much as I love having it, I don't think it's worth it. Not to mention I'm still barely scraping by. I'm also dropping about 15 comics. I'll still read both of the Green Lantern books, as well as finishing up Secret Invasion (only one more issue) , Fables (although it hasn't been that great lately, but I'm going to give it a few more issues) and 100 Bullets (only 4 more issues left, and they come out once every 2 months).
I really need to cut back on stupid spending. And I know I've been saying that for I don't even know how long. I figure I'll trade in Soul Calibur 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4 for Gears of War 2. Which sucks, because I really don't want to trade them in, but it's worth it, I think. Plus, I don't really have anything else to trade in. Well, maybe The Orange Box, but that's really great, too. Ugh, I don't know. I still have like 2 weeks to figure it out.
But I figure stopping the Digital Cable/DVR and cutting back on comics big time will help things. And hey, it's only 4 more months until I move to Durham. So that'll save $50 a month in gas, and I won't have to pay the waterbill, as it's included in the rent. It'll be nice to live so close to work. And Southpoint is pretty cool, aside from the shitty clientel.
I really like Desiree. Like, a lot. We're officially "dating" which is I guess the 1st step up from "talking" and a step down from "boyfriend/girlfriend". I know most things are awesome in the beginning, but if things keep up like this, I don't see it being too long before we graduate to those titles for each other. And that kind of really, really excites me. It was so nice just relaxing with her yesterday watching TV and laughing at Charlie have a dry-heave. I could really, really get used to it.
Speaking of TV...I'm almost not liking the whole Jim/Pam thing on The Office. It's stupid and trite, and there's no way two people which such a connection like they had in previous seasons would start to have problems the second one of them moved away for a bit. Thank God for Michael and Holly. The Dwight stuff with Phllys was good, too. But seriously, Michael and Holly are the only reasons I watch that show, for the most part.
It's Always Sunny has been great, of course. I'm an episode behind in Heroes. I'll watch it eventually. Aside from Sylar, that show is disappointing me a lot, too. Am I just getting too picky with my TV? No wonder I don't feel like I should have that DVR.
I'm going to find something to eat.
This last week has been Hell. I just got done working 8 days straight on Thursday. I go back in tomorrow, but only for 4 days, then I'm off for 4 days, in which I'll be taking a little trip.
Yesterday I pretty much hung out with Desiree all day long. It was great. I picked her up around noon, I think. We ate lunch, then bought comics. After that, we went out to Durham (because I'm an idiot and left my paycheck there) and then dropped by the bank. We went to Ed McKay's and she sold some stuff. She gave me some of her credit to compensate for having to drive forever way to pick her up and drop her off. With it, I got Freddy Vs. Jason on DVD, the 1st Friday the 13th, The Cell by Stephen King, and An American Werewolf in London on VHS.
We came home, and she gave me a nice long back massage because I'd just worked all those days in a row. It was very, very nice. Afterwards, I grabbed a bunch of DVDs I'm not going to watch anytime soon, and took them to McKay's to help with this month's rent. I got about $45 and I bought a Halo novel for $1.65 just because I felt like reading something lame. I guess it's my version of a romance novel.
After that, we grabbed dinner and came back home. We watched The Office and It's Always Sunny, and then just laid in bed, and she listened to me talk about how hard this Raleigh life has been. I felt a thousand times better. I drove her home late, and got home around 1:15 or something. I read a few of the comics I bought, and promptly passed the shit out.

Been down in the dumps for a few days
So I figured I'd make a post about things that make me smile.
Prince of Persia Trailer:
I know I posted this is my last blog, but it deserves a 2nd posting. The trailer is just that fucking good. It reminds me of an old Gears of War trailer.
I just love it when a game can be both mind-numbingly bad ass and smart and insightful at the same time. I know it's somewhat common when you play a bunch of RPGs, but I don't. So when I see an adventure game do this, I can't help but be excited for it.
TGS09 (Tokyo Game Show) is this week, and there's been a ton of new information announced that's got my gaming fingers twitching. E3, our local game convention, left me feeling kind of...blah. I really didn't care about much that I saw. But with TGS, there's been a ton of new info that has me drooling.
Whether it be new handheld stuff for the Nintendo DS:
Shining Force: Feather
Chrono Trigger DS:
Ninokuni: The Another World (Produced in part with Studio Ghibli)
Dragonball: Origins
To the other stuff:
King of Fighters XII:
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (As if I needed another reason to want a Wii?)
Gears of War 2 (You didn't think I was going to make a video game post without this, did you?)
So yeah, I know I just went off on a tangent of posting new and awesome stuff from TGS, but whatever. It's my blog. There were plenty of videos I would have posted, but I didn't want to go too overboard.
I've been drinking a lot of Coca-Cola Classic. It's weird, I was never a huge fan, but lately, it tastes really good, and reminds me of like...being young. That's weird, I know. And it sounds like a lame commercial, but yeah...It definitely deserves to be called "classic".
Today I did laundry, which sucks, but I brought my Nintendo DS (which was almost dead. But I got through a world and a half in New Super Mario Bros). I also brought a new book I'm reading called "The Mystery of Pittsburgh" by Michael Chabon. I read about 50 pages while I waited for my clothes to dry, and I really dig it. It kind of reminds me of Less Than Zero by Ellis, but without all of the drugs and 1980s pop culture.
I only half-watched the debate tonight. I all ready know who I'm going to vote for. I did think it was funny, though. McCain's final statements were all about him. What he's done, who he is. That's great. I won't for a milisecond pretend that McCain isn't an American hero. The man has done this country a lot of good in the past. But, he sure likes to talk about it. His past, I mean. Then it's Obama's turn. And he doesn't talk about himself. He talks about what he's going to do. In a time where we need a change (no one can deny that) Obama was the one that left off on a note of it. McCain, not so much. And I want to go on record that I don't hate McCain. I'm not voting for him, but I also don't hate him. If Hilary was his opposition, I probably would vote for him. But Obama says (most of) the things I want to hear.
Speaking of politics, and I'm not going to get into this for more than just a few sentances. You need to vote. I don't care if you vote Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independant, whatever. This country was founded on the idea of independant thought and freedom. Right now, as we speak, our family members and our friends are overseas, dying to protect that right.
So fucking vote.
Anyways. Tomorrow I start my 8 days in a row at work. Fuck me sideways. My job is soul-crushing enough with a day off every couple of days. But 8 in a row? Thank Christ I'm off next Friday and Saturday. Then I work for 4 days, and then I go home for the weekend. I am seriously going to need it. In fact, I seriously need it now.
Meh, I was going to keep me coming back to Chesapeake for a weekend a secret, but I think the only people that would actually get this far into a blog of mine all ready know.
Also, since this is a blog about things that make me feel a little better, I think I should bring up someone specific. Desiree. While things are still new, and we're taking it slow, Desiree is the first person I've met here that I've spent any time with. It just turns out that we both have crushes on each other, we both support Obama, we both read a lot, and we both enjoy...things I won't mention in this blog post. She's unlike every girl I've ever dated. Not that we're dating, as we don't have a label, but you know what I'm getting at. I'm way, way nerdier than she is. Christ, she hasn't even seen any of the Star Wars save for the 4th episode. She just saw Iron Man the other night while we were hanging out. She mentioned she hadn't seen it at dinner at Bojangles, and we went straight to Target and I bought it. That "secret" ending still makes me cream my nerdy jeans. Anyway, Desiree is awesome, and I enjoy spending time with her, and doing those unmentioned things. For now, that's good enough for the both of us.
Wish me luck this week, my friends. I'll need it.
PS: Dear Lego Batman. I'm sorry you've been so neglected for the past 10 or so days. Blame MegaMan 9. It's too fun and awesome and agonizingly tough to not play when I find time to play games.

Dreams cost money, and money costs dreams.
Ah, it feels so damn good to know that I don't have to work tomorrow.
Of course, tomorrow is all about cleaning and doing laundry. Oh well, not that big a deal. I bought Green Lantern Showcase Volume 3 tonight to keep me company in the laundry mat. I'm stoked because it's got the first appearance of Guy Gardner. I am also pondering buying the issue on it's own. It's somewhat expensive, but I'd totally put it in a frame and hang it up. Even I don't get my love of Guy Gardner. But it would be badass. The issue's cover is my current Myspace background.
I downloaded the demo of Mega Man 9. It's amazing, and I'm dying to download the entire game, but it costs money. I can't get it just yet. But Penny Arcade sums it up perfectly.
Ok, that was a short entry. I miss everyone.

Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. - John Updike
I figured I'd take a few minutes before I get ready for work to update my blog with a real entry.
I have a feeling this is going to be more of an introspective entry, as there really hasn't been much going on to talk about. So if you don't feel like listening to my thoughts on things, well...this entry isn't for you. Check back soon for a funny video or a cool picture.
So, this Raleigh life is good. Very, very good. Not perfect, by any means, but still really good. I've been waking up early, going to bed early, eating (for the most part) healthy, and not spending too much money on unneeded things. Friday is the day I pay all my bills, so that's going to be a sad day. They won't normally all be paid on the same day, but this being the first month being here, and me being a paycheck short this month, all of the bills had to wait until now.
It's weird to think that I'll be leaving Raleigh and going to Durham in 5 months. But I think it's good. I'll be used to spending more on bills and gas, so when I get there, it'll be easier on the pocket, both literally and in my mind. Hopefully this will open up a little more money to save, because I really need to start saving money more.
Speaking of money, I went to Ed McKay's yesterday, and I was very good. I bought the final 2 Gunsmith Cats omnibus volumes, and I got Schindler's List on DVD. Total it cost me $16. They had the 1st two boxsets for Gatchaman for a combined total of $31. I'm praying they'll be there in two weeks, but we'll just have to wait and see. I also almost bought a $10 hardcover of Ultimate Hulk Vs. Ironman, but I put that back as well, to save money.
There really aren't many dating prospects at all in Raleigh. At least, not right now. I've been talking to this girl on AIM who lives around here, but we haven't hung out or anything. Who knows if we actually will. She seems cool, but for the first time in a long time I'm very content with being single. That doesn't mean I don't think about it, of course. There'll never be a time when I don't think about it. I've got this little daydream that it's me and someone in a small apartment. It's late, but not too late, and I'm sitting on the edge of the couch playing video games, and a girl is laying on the other side with her nose in a book and her feet are resting in my lap. Occasionally she looks up and watches me play, but eventually goes back to her book. Between cut-scenes or levels, or whenever I can put the controller down, I gently squeeze her foot, or lean in and give her a kiss. After a bit, I've put my video game away, she's put her book away, and we watch an old black and white film together.
I was talking to Beth and Josh yesterday about little moments like that, and how they're the good stuff in relationships. They're not the only good stuff, mind you, but those kinds of nights are really ideal. Of course there are tons of other things. The sex, the visits to each other when we're at work, the trips to home, all that stuff. But recently, that isn't what I've been thinking about too much. Mainly it's just a quiet night at home that I've been daydreaming about. And again, for the first time in a while, it's only dreaming, and not looking. I'm fine with looking forward to an unknown future. I'm glad there are things I'd like to happen, but there's no one specifically tied to them. It feels good letting it happen on it's own.
Apaloosa comes out tomorrow. Sadly, because I'm closing Thursday through Sunday, I won't get to see it until Monday or Tuesday. Beth and Josh and I are going, and I seriously can't wait. I had barely any clue about the movie until I saw the trailer before Tropic Thunder, and since then, it's been my most anticipated film since Iron Man and Batman. I doubt it'll top either of those, but I'm sure it'll be #3 this year. It just looks too damn awesome. Add in that it's Ed Harris and Viggo...well, do we really need any other reason to be stoked on a film? I don't think so.
I need to figure out when to go back home for a weekend. I'll probably put in time off for that when I go in today. I kind of miss Chesapeake. Yesterday while driving around, we were talking about sushi, and I remembered the amazing place on Battlefield Blvd. and then thought, "Man, I used to drive on that road every single day for 19 years, and now it's so far away." and it made me a little sad. As much as I love the freshness of Raleigh, I do miss the normalcy of Chesapeake from time to time. Not often, though.
I need new clothes. That's a random thought, but it just came to my head. Losing the weight I did made all my t-shirts too big. I'm still a big guy, and nothing looks worse than a big guy in a bigger shirt. Ugh. Anyway, I might be, maybe once a week, ordering a new t-shirt or something. It sucks because I just bought my Green Lantern and my Flash about 6 months ago, and they're too big.
They have this shirt in the window at my comic store downtown, and I want it. I'm not sure what size they have, though. But if it fits, maybe I'll splurge and get it for myself next week. I just checked a website, and there is a Green Lantern Corps shirt that has Guy, Kyle, and Kilowag on it. I actually used the same picture on my Myspace page for a long time. Fuck, I want it.
So that's all for this update, I guess. I'm going to go grab a bite to eat before I go to work.
