i just read [url=http://www.track15.com/blog/]dardy’s[/url] post about reading your SO’s email. man, email is really private to me. i don’t like it when people try to read my email. it is completely my business and only my business to see offers about penis enlargement or saving the world by making donations or hearing from some distant country and how i inherited the fortunes of the kingdom if only i pay for a small fee or if i want to make millions by working at home or finding out that candi wants to play with me on her adult web cam.

this is all my spam and you can’t read any of it.

but seriously, i am intensely private about email. it’s not that there are top secret scandalous things happening in my email, it’s just that i think that email is one of those things that is really yours…and not to be shared. i would NEVER share my email password with anyone and i find that it is a huge violation of trust if someone else were to go through my email.

i’m back from LA! man, the weather there is crazy warm. i think it was in the 70s this weekend. i was wondering if i might bump into some other LA bloggers on the street, but try as i may, i didn’t see anyone familiar. no celebrities even.

it was a pretty fun weekend and i’m glad that i was able to get out for a little break.

when i got back from the trip, i found my car had a flat tire! the jack that came with the car was VERY unstable. it sucked. luckily, i was able to borrow another jack and john helped me replace the flat tire. thanks, bud!

it turns out that there’s ANOTHER nail in too close to the sidewall of the tire to patch it up so it looks like i’m going to have to buy two new tires.

i had all the intention of going into work today. really, i did. now, i admit that i was hoping i wouldn’t have to because i had so many things to do today, but when i went to sleep last night i was dreading the day because of how rushed it would be.

this morning, i woke up to the biggest headache i’ve had in a long, long time. i usually am not one to take medication for headaches, but i immediately reached for the bottle of advil and took a couple of pills and immediately went back to bed. trying to go back to bed was a labored effort as my head throbbed, but finally i was able to find sleep.

i just woke up and i feel much, much better. it’s a shame that it’s nearly 3pm, though. i guess all of those rushed things don’t seem as important now when your health reminds you that you are not superhuman and every so often you need a break to rest the body.

before going to work today, i noticed that my rear right tire seemed a little low on air. a closer inspection yielded a screw that was wedged into the tire. lovely.

so i went around the corner to the local gas station for them to fix it and the guy there tells me that because it is my rear right tire, he’s going to have to take the tire off so that he can get to the screw.

ok…

and then he tells me that it’s going to cost me $30 more for him to remove my tire, patch the tire, and put the tire back on.

uhhh…$30 to take the tire off and put it back on?? yup. and then i ask, well, what if i came here with just the tire? he then informs me that it would then just got the $10 to patch the tire. so i’m thinking, ok…well, i can jack up the car and remove the tire. no big deal.

and then i thought…well, wait, why would i want to do that? so i told the guy that i might be back later and i went across the street to the other gas station and explained the situation to them.

oh sure, they can fix the leak without removing the tire, no problem, they tell me. and so they get the little kit and patch the tire and i’m on my way to work.

man…the things people will charge you for in ridiculous.

i saw kissing jessica stein last night. i wasn’t sure if i would be able to get into it because i wasn’t sure if i could relate to the whole lesbian love story. but this movie isn’t a statement about lesbian romance, but more a story of love….it just happens to be about two women. i must say that the whole story was just charming. i really enjoyed this movie quite a bit.

now i know that [url=http://www.track15.com]dardy[/url] had been raving about it for some time, but i didn’t get the opportunity to watch it until netflix finally sent it to me…and i’m very tempted to watch the movie again. i think it was just that good.

at work on thursdays, the company provides snacks for us. in the morning there are donuts and bagels. donuts. i think the company gets about 4 dozen donuts and it would be a shame to let all those donuts go to waste. i sort of feel obligated to make sure that no donut is left to waste.

this, of course, has rather disturbing repercussions. i must gain 5 pounds every thursday as a result of this. i’m not sure what i can do about this. i have to help the donuts fulfill their donut destiny. i’m really their savior. even at the expense of my own health, i will do my best to make sure that no donut is left behind. this is my burden, this is my life.

woman. woe-man. whoooa-man.
she was a thief
you got to believe
she stole my heart and my cat.

betty, judy, josie and those hot pussycats
they make me horny
saturday morning
girls of cartoo-ins
will leave me in ruins
i want to be betty’s barney

hey jane, get me off this crazy thing…called love

===========================================

woman. woe-man. whoooa-man.
we had love, not just sex
is she mrs. x?
i had to run for my life

jane, get me off of this crazy thing…called love.

last night was the first day of my new league. it’s the West Side JACL volleyball league on sundays. it’s actually quite a bit of fun. i was a little intimidated when i found out that i was playing in the A pool, but i think that i can totally keep up with these guys. my new teammates are pretty cool and friendly so that makes it all the better.

what was really surprising is that this league is predominantly asian. i would say that there is maybe a small handful of non-asian people playing. i wonder why. it was also funny because on my team, i am one of the taller guys on the team. how often does that happen? heh.

i’m definitely looking forward to sunday nights. i think i may have hurt my knee a little bit last night, but i’m hoping the soreness will go away soon.

[url=http://oneword.com/]oneword[/url] is a very cool idea. i like it quite a bit and i’m very tempted to try something like it.

it’s an interesting writing exercise that’s easy to do, but it also helps you just write. i liken it to speed blogging. ooooh, there’s another idea. i know that there are blogathons and all, but what about speed blogging? where you accumulate donations based on the amount that you blog. hmmmm.

i’ve been without beef now for nearly two weeks. i believe i’m suffering from withdrawl. i’m a big beef eater and with the mad cow scare i’ve decided that i want to stay away from beef for a little while.

i am rapidly approaching the longest time i’ve ever gone without beef. back when i was growing up, i would say that the longest stretch of time i went without beef would be no longer than a day…my sandwiches or dinner usually had some kind of beef in it, or at the very least some kind of meat.

i think that i’ve been craving beef lately though. when i go to nations, i order the chicken sandwich. for dinner, when i went to mcdonald’s i almost had the #1 combo. the big mac looked so enticing. oh, everything about it looked so enticing…so delightful…so inviting. and when that mysterious, choppy voice asked me what i wanted, i couldn’t speak for a moment.

my stomach was yearning for the big mac. just eat it. it’ll taste SO GOOD. but i yielded. instead i got the chicken combo. i really feel that i’m all chickened out.

today for lunch we had pizza from round table. the combo that i was eating had meat on it and it tasted so good. but before i started devouring the pizza, the first thought i had was, “is there any beef in it?” it’s aggravating.

i don’t know what pepperoni is made out of, but the guys assured me it was some kind of mystery pork product. so i guess it’s all safe.

i wonder how much longer i can last. i know that i’ll never be able to cut it as a vegetarian. i just love meat too much.
