Peace Rest in Peace, Terri Schiavo. You are finally home with the Lord.
Cautiously Optimistic Well, the interview seemed to go well. I should hear something on Friday. So, here's hopin'. It's not too late for pigeon sacrifices. Actually, it's never too late for pigeon sacrifices. I hat…
Alert! Job interview tomorrow, 11:00 CST. Prayers and Pigeon Sacrifices on my behalf are appreciated. Thank you.
Post-Easter As I said, yesterday was a busy day. Didn't sleep well at ALL on Saturday night, so survival was uncertain at best. But I got up at 6:30, and got myself all dressed up. Went to my church at 8:00, and we w…
Wow. Such a busy day. More details tomorrow. For now, a vignette: Michelle: Jerry actually got up and washed the dishes while we were watching the movie. Uvon: Cool. Actually, Yvette's brother Paul washed the dis…
Errrrrrrr Somewhere around a year ago, I swore off long-distance romances, because they were really fulfilling to either me or the other guy, and frankly, the associated frustrations just weren't worth it. And to that,…
Because Apparently, Teenagers Can't Be Bothered to Read My Guide If you tYpe liKe tHis or leave rAnDoM pRoPZ, go away. I will not hit you back. Ever. Not even as a joke. I am Gay and I am Christian and I have resolv…
Running Around So, what has our hero been up to lately? A lot of nothing. There's been a good deal more sleep lately, which kinda sucks, but I guess there's not much I can do about it. I'll start some sort of job soo…
The Other Woman If my posts seem to be getting shorter and more sparse, that's only because there's another website where I'm spending entirely too much time. The message boards at the Gay Christian Network: www.gaych…
A Form of Sadism? If I can get a decent job, I think I might buy myself bagpipes for my birthday. I'd like to learn to play bagpipes. And you can buy bagpipes on eBay for a price that seems fairly reasonable, compared…
Bloody Hell Well, thank you West Virginia for totally screwing over my bracket! I had Wake Forest winning the whole damn thing before your little "let's defeat them in overtime" idea. I can get behind an underdog, but…
Ew. Well, Vermont messed things up nicely. I had Syracuse going at least to the Sweet Sixteen. Still....26 for 28 is pretty tasty. There's only one game left tonight that worries me. Not that too many of you care - …
And so... Doing much better today, so it's probably not an allergy thing. w00t! I have no idea why I just typed that. The third wave of Round One games has begun. After today's earlier games, I had only missed one -…
Possible Diagnosis So, someone has asked me if I have allergies, because the sneezing and crying of today seems similar to hayfever. What sucks is, I suppose they could be right. But there are some problems... Previo…
Brackets Well, this is odd. I'm 16 for 16 today on my bracket. Every team I chose won. Including UAB, which felt like my riskiest call for Round One. Tomorrow, just two concerns. I went for loyalty and picked Miss …
Miserable Over the course of the day, my condition has definitely deteriorated. It's still all sinus, but it's been the kind of sinus where tears have been streaming down my face all day. I'm really tired of sneezing,…
Can't Breathe So, I'm getting a little peeved at the body. I feel fine. Fantastic, even. Completely over the whole cold thing that knocked me out for the bulk of last week. Except. I'm blowing my nose constantly. …
TV Well, I just watched the shows I taped. One of these days, I'm going to get TiVo. The Shield. Interesting. I would definitely have to say gritty, and gritty is not a word I use often. I'm not sure I've ever used…
Last Night So, last night, I met Mike. It was pretty nice. We were supposed to meet at 8:30, but he got lost, and then couldn't find the place where we agreed to meet, so ended up calling me from a couple blocks away.…
Off to a Fantastic Start Well, I've filled out my NCAA Tournament bracket. I'm already off to a stellar start, as I incorrectly expected Alabama A&M to beat Oakland in the opening round. The really beautiful thing…
I Wish... I wish I had someone I really felt I could turn to at 1:00 in the morning when it's dark and I've lost my way. No, I'm not handling things well any more. And if I say "I'm okay," I'm lying.
Blah Well, I'm feeling rather glum and uninspired today. Wishing I were the man some people seem to think I am, rather than the poster child for squandered potential. I'm going to go bludgeon myself now for writing…
New banner courtesy of Luke. I'll be alternating it with the other banner on a weekly basis. Don't you want to make a banner for me to add to the rotation?
Tragic Flaw I had something of a realization over the weekend. I think my biggest character flaw comes from an inability to put myself first. When I think about it, almost all of my foibles seem to stem from this. I …
Greatness Thrust Upon Him So, I walked into the Mu Phi meeting today, and one of the members greeted me with, "It's our new president!" So I guess that means I'm a shoe-in for taking the helm. Terrific, since I've nev…
Leadership...And a Lot of It. About three or four weeks ago, our pastor sent out an invitation to church leaders for a "Leadership Retreat." This retreat was held at the church this morning, and it was designed to focu…
Inventory At present, in my kitchen, I have: 1 1/2 c. honey & spice butter >2 dozen donuts >2 dozen blueberry muffins 1 apple kuchen 1 peach kuchen Now I just have to start on the buttermilk biscuits. …
Mmmmm.....Donuts..... Among the many items I'm baking for tomorrow this morning is donuts. I have a recipe for homemade donuts that I've been wanting to try, and finally decided this was as good a time as any. One of …
New Personal Rule I will never allow myself to go grocery shopping when I am under the weather. I went with a reasonable list. A list of things I needed, and a list of things I would get if the price was reasonable. …
A New Hero I know Tina Turner said we don't need another hero, but I have one anyway. Daniel. Boy down in 'Bama. He is my new hero. He very recently made out with this guy he's just started seeing. While watching…
This Is Not Why The Good Lord Gave Us Moisturizers I'm really tired of rubbing lotion all over my nose to soothe the dryness and rawness caused by five days of sniffles. Why not use tissues that have lotion in them? S…
Courage Last night, I managed to catch the last minute of Dan Rather's final remarks as anchor of the CBS Evening News. Does anyone know if there's a full transcript somewhere? I knew Dan Rather was leaving his post, …
Gettin' Over It Hey kids. I'm getting over this cold thing. Still got some sniffles, and am still amazed at the amount of mucus my sinuses can hold, but I'm feeling MUCH better overall, and my nose has been rubbed raw…
Bless Me Good news: I've got a couple job leads to follow. Bad news: I'm sneezing constantly, and am uncertain I can hold down a phone call long enough to follow-through. The sneezes have been such that I've had tea…
More Bitterness I'm bitter that the Tom Yum Kai didn't provide the instantaneous cure I unreasonably expected from it. I'm bitter that I had to walk through a rain/snow mix to get it. I hate precipitation when it's a …
Next Phase Now I'm in Bitter + Sick mode. Bitter for a lot of reasons. Bitter that I didn't have a job to call in sick to. Bitter that I can't think of anyone who would willingly bring me soup (at least, no one who l…
Yep Definitely not cute when I'm sick. But my hair feels exceptionally nice. That's odd. Ugh. Now I remember why I don't get sick. This is for the birds. Tomorrow, if I'm still feeling like this, I'm going to go g…
Uvon = Sick I'm not cute when I'm sick.
Little Boy Last night at Hydrate, I ran into Matt. Matt is someone with whom I worked briefly when I had that job out in the 'burbs. Really cute kid - another co-worker and I sometimes referred to him as "little boy."…
Two Words: Tip. Sy. Hee Hee. Actually, it's rather surprising. Usually, after as much as I drank tonight, I'm too drunk to function, let alone type without spelling errors. Important post when sobriety arrives. I …
An Unexpected Occurence Last night, I began Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. One thing that astonishes me about this book is that it's actually broken into chapters. One of the prevalent features of his Discworld seri…
I Love This YAY! I've now finished my custom module to the left. I've called it, "Getting the Most From Your Uvon Experience: A Handy Guide." Any time I add another tip, I'll let you know. Way too silly. I've an a…
Top Shelf That's right, kids! My premium has been activated! So, the delightful new banner is on display, courtesy of Will. And if you haven't noticed yet, I've changed my color scheme and font, too (though, per Nena…
Stand Back Tonight, I treated myself to a movie. I almost never go to the movies alone, because I just prefer company if I'm going out. But tonight, I not only felt the urge to go to a movie, I felt the urge to do it …
Okay Kids... I've splurged and upgraded, and within 24 hours, I'll have Xanga Premium. I went for the six-month option, which will give me ample time to either a) start using it WAY TOO MUCH, or b) decide it's not real…
