Silly Scallions!

I love these scallions! They're so silly!!

Sad Songs Say So Much

"Lonelily"
I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily landed my wants in her hands
In a way I felt you were leaving me
I was sure I wouldn't find you at home
And you let me down
You could have knocked off the evening
But you lonelily let him push under your bone
You let me down
It's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone

You're coming home, you're coming home

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I was lonelily looking for someone to hold
In a way I lost all I believed in
And I never found myself so low
And you let me down
You could've called if you'd needed
But you lonelily got yourself locked in instead
And you let me down
It's one thing being cheated
But you took him all the way through your bed

And now you're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
And I'm trying to forget
You're coming home
And I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
And you haven't called yet

You're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
I'm just trying to forget
You're coming home
I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
But you haven't called
You're coming home

You're coming home, you're coming home

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily loomed her into my bone
You let me down
There's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone
Damien Rice

Ahh.... Mr. Rice, curse you and your home hitting lyrics. And nature I would've preferred the bigger gut over the larger brain right now. Though I must admit, I do this to myself, I put myself in these moods and situations and rather than being productive, I just sit and mope in my own inability to do anything well.

There are books that need to be sold, others that need to be read, notes that need to be digitized, index cards that need to be re organized, bone field guides that need to be reorganized, an apartment to be set up and millions of other things I could tackle instead of enjoying myself at own emo laden pity party. I definitely bite off more than I can chew and I need to stop filing myself with things I'll never be able to swallow let alone digest. It's nice to have fun sometimes, but I need to actually get back to work sooner than I thought I would.

Ugh!

At least I got pretty flowers! : )

Andy Loves Me!

I walk out to his car to get in....open the door and see these beauties! The camera phone does not do them justice, but they completely made me day!!!

When I Was Your Age....

I walked two mikes in the snow to work....both ways! Ha ha! It's funny because it's true! The walk wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The rain was light, the sidewalks were a toss up between completely cleared off and miserable and if I had my phone you would've seen the puddle I had to cross through. It was knee deep, which I know for everyone else isn't serious because my knees are at the level of people's shins...but it's all relative people! Thank goodness for Target Galoshes!! Not only did I look stylish but my feet are dry too. And Andrew's daypack kicks so much ass!!

I Get it From My Momma

Ridiculous amounts of blogging today, but I have to boast about my awesome improv dinner accompaniment! My mom's well known for not really using recipes but just coming up with stuff on her own from flavors she knows and loves and also knows we'll love. I just conjured her prowess at cooking and made something delicious....all from realizing that my grape tomatoes were going to go bad!! YAY!!!!!!!!

Another thing to be excited about? There's no longer a bunch of crap in my living room. It's all almost coming together. Save for the two piles of crap that still exist (one that is actually garbage and one that's books that need to get sold) this place is relatively clean. The most organized places in the place? The bathroom, the kitchen and surprisingly the bedroom. I say at least (due to our not wanting to break the bank) another month before this place is set up the way I like. Although with my analness I'll keep moving stuff around until I'm content with it.

I need to type up or scan my notes so I no longer have to save the paper copy. They take up entirely too much room. Scan and type up all except for my bone books. Those will stay how they are.

I also found all my journals. The fact that I hold on to them is a little disturbing but I don't know exactly how I should dispose of them. I'm scared some bored garbage man will decide to read through them and know all of my secrets. I can't burn them because I seriously doubt the legality of that in New Jersey. I'm so bad at getting rid of old things that I can't even delete my old blogs!

This post sucked but I'm too tired to care about the grammar or my inability to write entertaining prose. I'll edit it another time!

Frustrated and annoyed.


I wish the hammock was still there for me to go to. Although I'm positive that at first you'd be disappointed in me, I'm sure I'd still get a hug and then some solid advice.

Jersey Girl.

NJ's to the left!

Sure it might seem like we're progressive, but our local government is so corrupt that it's beyond disgusting. Although I like the fact that we seem to be one of the most progressive states because I lean to the left myself (and I'm a little disgusted at myself with this) but I actually agree with this Republican from Morris County:

The liberal legacy in New Jersey won’t be abolishing the death penalty and apologizing for slavery, he said. It will be high taxes and deep deficits. “What we’re not doing is talking about reducing property taxes or reducing the flight of people from New Jersey,” he said.

Not that I pay property tax because I rent, but I used to live in Perth Amboy and knew what the property tax is there. It was beyond ridiculous and it keeps getting ridiculous. Maybe the reason for the large number of wealthy people in NJ is due to the fact that the middle class can't afford it anymore!

We might be leaning too far to the left, into the red and I don't mean Communism, but towards increased state debt!

It's nice having all these liberal perks and benefits, (although in my opinion civil union does not equal marriage in any way shape or form, but that's another entry.) but at what cost and more specifically at what cost to the working middle class? So high that I who enjoy these perks can't afford to live here? Honestly, Pennsylvania is not a pretty place and there's only one other place in this country I could even slightly imagine myself in. That place is A LOT farther from home!

Improving on the dictionary.

This is the current definition of silly:
sil·ly: /ˈsɪli/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sil-ee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation adjective, -li·er, -li·est, noun, plural -lies. –adjective

1.	weak-minded or lacking good sense; stupid or foolish: a silly writer.

2.	absurd; ridiculous; irrational: a silly idea.

3.	stunned; dazed: He knocked me silly.

4.	Cricket. (of a fielder or the fielder's playing position) extremely close to the batsman's wicket: silly mid off.

5.	Archaic. rustic; plain; homely.

6.	Archaic. weak; helpless.

7.	Obsolete. lowly in rank or state; humble.

–noun

8.	Informal. a silly or foolish person: Don't be such a silly.

But I definitely think it should be like this:

sil·ly /ˈsɪli/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sil-ee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation adjective, -li·er, -li·est, noun, plural -lies. –adjective

1.	weak-minded or lacking good sense; stupid or foolish: a silly writer.

2.	absurd; ridiculous; irrational: a silly idea.

3.	stunned; dazed: He knocked me silly.

4.	Cricket. (of a fielder or the fielder's playing position) extremely close to the batsman's wicket: silly mid off.

5.	Archaic. rustic; plain; homely.

6.	Archaic. weak; helpless.

7.	Obsolete. lowly in rank or state; humble.

–noun

8.	Informal. a silly or foolish person: Don't be such a silly.

Moving In Day Feels Like A Million

Some how I'm still unpacking things. I have to admit though, I haven't really been as dedicated to the act as I should be. I've been going out a lot and ignoring both my budget and my domestic duties. All of which will eventually lead to nothing but disappointment in the end. The truth of it is though, I really want to throw out have of the shit I own and just buy all new crap. Screw the budget, screw sentimental value, screw all my old stuff!! So...I'll start with this fish!

Sleepy

I'm extremely tired today. Went out last night and probably shouldn't have only to spend money that I shouldn't have. drank a lot of alcohol (by my standards) that I shouldn't have and went to bed way later than I ever intended. And I want to journal about things that I know will surely affect me, but right now none of it bothers me at all and that pretty much makes me a terrible person. Maybe I'll do a better job pen and paper wise. We'll see.

I'll talk about it when I get a chance.

Jen's Party

Jen's Birthday Party and yet there aren't any photos of Jen and I! We'll need to rectify that! First walking into the house.
Katie loves prison, it makes me tired on the other hand.
Me and the Drew.
Patricia, Me and Andrew. We look like some kind of messed up family! Ha ha ha! A much better description of the party later!!

Feelin' Blue

I'm at work practically falling asleep. The combination of it being too quiet, the lousy weather and being out late last night is making it rather difficult for me to stay awake. Lately, this blog has been mostly pictures, (they're worth 1,000 words, saves me the trouble of typing!) but lately I've been reverting to irritating my faithful readers with my prose. (My sincerest apologies, I promise to return to pictures as soon as there is something meaningful to capture. Though last nights Giants' celebration dance in Ruthy's Apartment were worthy enough.)

I know the point of a personal blog is to disclose intimate details about my life to the thousands handful of readers who come across my page. I don't feel too comfortable with sharing some of those secrets to any Tom, Dick or Harry that comes across this page, so don't mind my being cryptic. There's so much I want to say and yet, I don't even know how to say it. I wish I just had a space I could go to and be alone for a while to get it all out and then have a long discussion on it. Maybe when I've penned it all out on paper, I'll take the time to carefully edit it here...this way I'm not teasing my entertainment.


So I'm feelin' a little blue right now. Blue and utterly exhausted! Although, I must admit, remembering that last night the Giants beat the Patriots in one of the biggest upsets in Sports History. Is truly amazing. I was never a fanatical sports fan until recent years, but now I understand why my father and his friends would curse at the TV and practically cry when their team played both miserable and horribly. I get it now, I totally get it!

Anyway, here are some pictures to lighten my spirits at least:

A Lil' Procrastination Goes A Lil Ways.

Yes, I have things to do, but it's more important that we figure out who will play me in the made for TV biographic movie!






I think I should get Jack Black for SURE!

Moving In Sucks!

New Haircut!

Move Along

Well folks, I am no longer a resident of Perth Amboy. Well any documentation I have says otherwise, but all of my things are in Highland Park. Plus they also say home is where the heart is...and well, mine's here! Moving out has made me realize that a lot of the things I own are garbage! Garbage and books! I think I have more books than the Perth Amboy Public Library (at least more books published after 1960)! It's really hard trying to figure out where to put things and how I'm going to decorate everything. So I've been slacking a lot and watching a lot of Ninja Warrior and MTV Tr3s! (Yes, I've been watching Spanish MTV). Andrew decided we needed the cooler digital cable package, so now we all have these channels. I can even watch the Inter game right now! Pretty exciting! Siere A soccer used to be a daily Sunday thing for me. So it's cool that I can watch it again.

There are still so many things I need to get, and this doesn't seem like it's going to be a very quick process. So I should probably get off the computer and get to work... Super Bowl Party is later today anyway.

JeanLukPikachu, I choose you!

I don't think I'd ever say this, but I wish LO were on the internets right now!

Zing!

That's my title for today because I must say, Ruthy has had some zingers today. This is only because she constantly whines that she never gets enough compliments towards her humourous comments and today they've all been extra zingy. Maybe she's had more coffee or something, who knows? If she were playing golf she's not even on par, it's all birdies! It's made my day THAT much more bearable. Not that she reads my blog, but the few people who do can atest to the fact that I've given her at least one accolade!

Early Morning Rainbow in New Brunswick.

I was having a pretty miserable morning but when I looked up during my walk there were a rainbow!
