Non Sequiturs

My life at this point is all bizarre. Sometimes I have no idea if I am coming or going. I have worked four weeks straight without a day off and worked 120 hours one week and 70 the other three. I'm a bit fried. Because the office I am contracting at does not provide us with individual Internet access, it has made even the most basic daily tasks very difficult. I have been amazed at how over the last 10 years we have become so dependent on the Internet. When you don't have immediate access it is frustrating when you want to look something up and can't. As a result my posts here have been intermittent at best. I am trying to catch up, but it is not easy.

I'm doing something different for this edition of Non Sequiturs. Instead of the usual, here is just a list of interesting facts:



* I hate pickles and anything pickled. Raisins as well. They are evil and must be destroyed.

* I am punctual to the point of it almost being a sickness.

* I am a Mac person. I hate PCs.

* I have over 5000 cds. But I have not bought a cd in over 5 years. I love iTunes.

* I feel most at home in New York City, but I will always be a true southern boy.

* Although I love New York, my favorite city is Venice.

* I love to cook, but hate to clean up afterwards. Oddly enough though, I love to clean, just not the remains of food.

* I could eat sushi, Thai, or Mexican food every day of the week and never get tired of it.

* It annoys me to no end when people mess up "your" and "you're," "its" and it's," and "their" and "there."

* In law school I was obsessed with the Blue Book.

* I love the smell of coffee, but I hate the taste.

* As a kid I used to love reading the encyclopedia.

* If I were a hot sexy mama, I would be Foxy Brown.

* I don't spend lots of time thinking about purchases. I generally buy them and then if I have a crisis of conscience I just return it.

* I do believe an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

* I don't believe in fate or destiny. I often say that things happen for a reason, but I don't really believe that either. Things just happen; it's what you choose to do in reaction to those things that matters.

* I wish I were Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I just love that show.

* In direct contrast with my current musical taste, I used to love heavy metal as a kid. I had all the KISS albums, on vinyl; even the horrible solo albums.

* I would like to be in a relationship, but something tells me it is just not in the cards for me.

* I wish I had more time to read.

* I love my cat but, once she is gone, I don't think I will get another one.

* I allow small things to really bother me; even to the point where I will stay up all night thinking about them.

* I would much rather go into work at 5 a.m. then to have to stay at work until after 5 p.m.

* On the way to work I pass by the Pine Street Mission which provides meals for the homeless. Although I think they are doing a wonderful job, it is in an area of town that is blighted because of the people it attracts. It bothers me that this bothers me so much.

* I didn't see my mother's side of the family for over eight years because one of my aunts used to send me emails that contained speeches by Jerry Falwell condemning gay people. I hated that I took my anger out on other members of the family because of the actions of one, but I just couldn't bear to go over there knowing that someone in the room would hate me if they knew I was gay. I only saw them recently because my aunt Avanelle passed away. She was one of the sweetest people ever put on this planet and I wanted to pay her my respects.

* I truly enjoy being gay. If it were a choice, I think I would probably choose it.

That's about it for this post. I am tired and want to watch my Buffy DVDs. :)
