//horoscopes
um...i'll take these recent horoscopes as a positive sign, because i need some positivity.

[12/02] this is your month. anything can happen if you truly want it. use your leverage.
[12/03] you stand on slippery ground. you can look forward or sideways, but don't look back.

let's face it...if i want to find something out badly enough, i'm gonna wanna work for it. i'm not giving up so easily this time around...i'm gonna weigh out every possible option, and i hope to end up happy by the time that new year's rolls around. also...this time around, there's no use regretting the past or referring to the bad things that happened--at least not at length. the fact is, i realize that i have control of the situations around me, the situations i involve myself in...whatever happens happens...ultimately, i control my destiny.

//it's.a[holiday]
tonight is the holiday party...i'm taking my local best friend, chris g...and we might meet up with tasia and a friend of hers. note, i said might...right now it's uncertain...i'd hope she can go tonight and would want to chill...but, my expectations are absent really. as much as a lack of expectation is a bit un-nerving in the idea that i don't think that she's gonna go...i know that anything is possible at this point, and i'm still gonna have fun tonight, regardless of what happens. who says that meeting up with tasia is my only option? i could meet up with my will & grace/husband-and-wife team...or i could just hang with chris. i do what i want. things happen the way i want them to.

ultimately, i control my destiny happiness. that's more accurate.

//chick[rock]
there are reasons why i like girl bands...here are two:

[*] tsunami bomb (more specifically, the lead singer)
[*] face the fact

not only do these bands have hot lead singers...but, they actually rock. ftf also has a female drummer...and, dude, a girl that can rock out, esp. on drums...such a turn-on. seriously. also about ftf...they've got a couple asian guys, and a keyboard player who rocks out--if a band ever had a mascot, george, the keyboard player, is superman. as for tsunami bomb, agent m is so hot, and they just rock. plain and simple. oh, and the donnas aren't so bad...but, i just can't group them with the other two bands...but that target advertisement where donna c (the drummer) is rockin' out with random-old-drummer-guy...mmmm...COURTESY! (on donna c, not the old guy)

//rad[video]
okay...coolest music videos i've seen: brand new's sic transit gloria...glory fades, and taking back sunday's cute without the 'e' (cut from the team)...seriously. i like the tbs video because i loved fight club. and brand new's video is just a very well thought out concept...whoever came up with the treatment was very creative.

sadly...i've gotta agree with adrian g...the temple has become a tool shed.

we've got so many tools that it's starting to look like home depot. --adrian g

i gotta get out of the temple soon...i gotta cross-train outta there...it's turned into high school--despite the claim that it will always be high school and that it's just a part of the environment...such is not the truth because i remember a time when it wasn't so much, i've heard of attractions not too far away where such is not the truth...so this juvenile and petty high school-ish environment is all but a nuisance...not necessity...something that can be prevented. i just hope some of the new-hires who aren't getting it start to figure stuff out soon...i know that they're new and they're just starting to get the hang of things...but, man...some of the stuff they're doing is just not good. (in this case, tasia is a diamond in the rough when it comes to the batch of new-hires we just got...she's doing well at indy). as for the pettiness and stuff...it's coming from all sides...i'm not pointing the finger at one person, i'm pointing all of my fingers and toes at several people from different social coteries. seriously, the pettiness has got to, got to, stop...we're all older than that...and we've all got to start displaying our maturity. yeah...the temple has got problems right now.

//why.i.love[australians]
i was working boathouse on friday night...right as we ran out of fastpasses...in the meantime i was conversing with this wonderful australian couple. first off, the woman, with this wonderful accent, says to me nice braces. taken aback, i say thank you. she goes on to say back home, we call them suspenders...and i just smile. then, we run out of fastpasses. all the other guests are raging and pissed...while i'm still trying to carry a conversation with this wonderful aussie couple to explain what's going on...and telling them their other options. they were the only happy people in the boathouse at that moment while all the other guests were all pissy. next thing you know, the lady says would you mind if we got a photo with you?...you've been the nicest american we've met during our visit, and tonight is our last night in the states...i was immensely flattered, to say the very least. it's a warm thought that is still fresh in my mind =)

it's a nice feeling being a bright spot in someone's vacation...being far away from home is both a fun and discomforting experience...it makes me happy to think of that short moment.

[~] metrosexual...and if you know me, you know the meaning of the word.

[~] PoMoSexual...literally someone who shuns labels referring to sexuality (homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, etc.,...). the prefix is a shortened version of the word post modern.

[~] manscaping...okay, i won't reveal the literal meaning...it's more fun this way...think of the word landscaping, then apply it to how a man would landscape himself. if you can't figure it out from that, think of trimming the brush around the redwood...that's right.

easily...word spy has become a favorite site of mine.
