Countdown

  • Mood: Shame
  • Listening to: Newly loaded songs on my iPod
  • Reading: Generation Kill
  • Watching: Weeds Season 3
  • Eating: Taco Bell eats
  • Drinking: Mountain Dew
Only days away from my trip to the Philippines. I leave on Friday. Thankfully I have the entire Labor Day weekend to make my final arrangements. I feel shameful since I had to move back into a house that I own w/ my ex-wife[yes, finally she delivered the coup de grace]. I was only able to secure a month pass w/ a friend of mine. I truly hope that the 2.5 months of non-daily interaction w/ her will have prepared me for the 1.5 months before we sell the house. I just wish I didn't have to be here. I'll do my utmost to be out and about until bedtime each day. I'm sure that'll prove to be difficult. But I have several ideas on how to handle that.

RE: My promotion. I applied for a promotion at work, and received it! HOT damn, huh? I thought so. Many people in the company approve of the decision by management too. Odd. I still get a pat on the back or a congratulations + a "you'll do good" / "you'll be great". I sure hope so. It's been the one positive event in my life in the past 5 months.

RE: Eastside Camera Club. Awhile ago, I applied for the position of VP for the camera club I signed up for. I'm hoping that'll elevate my photographic skill set to another level ;) Eh - one can only hope, right?

Until next time, keep digging.

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f

Cinematic Carlos - Seattle International Film Festival 2014

Last night started the 2nd year of my annual tradition (?) of screening several movies during the Seattle International Film Festival. I've known about for years, even a short stint in managing travel during the 2001 SIFF (that's even a longer story!) However, I had zero to little interest in it. I had no good reason either way. Last year, my dear friend, Cindy, invited me to be her movie buddy for SIFF. I accepted because I had no honestly good reason to refuse. We ran around the city tracking down movies that we wanted to watch, others were forgettable but that's the point! Some of these films will hit the mainstream. Most do not. Through the movies, misadventures, and mischief, we had a blast. So, it goes without saying, she invited me to repeat the feat. It continues to teach me: Despite how 'busy' you are - slow down and cherish the time with friends, family, and loved ones That as you grow older - invites should bear more weight than when you were y
