thanks forever:ything

...finally had a half decent day at work today/tonight. i really needed that.
i guess my day off yesterday had something to do with it.

not feeling so energetic right now though. gonna go pass out on the couch...

silent, white / awoken and undressed / caffeine, nicotine / apples and cinnamon / soap, suds / ready and willing / understood, forgotten / whispers and raindrops / put on, and take off.

i took the day off work today so i could do some christmas shopping. almost done... i still have to find the most important gift, for my mom. i think i'm going to get a picture of myself done up for her. she doesn't have any formal pictures of me since my graduation 5 years ago... i also have to get her liquor. a drunk mom is a happy mom! i love shopping for my neice & nephew. i spoil the hell out of them, mainly because i see so many cool toys, i just have to buy them. i remember christmas when i was a kid, my uncles would do the same. i guess now i understand why...why have kids of your own when you can just spoil someone else's kid and save yourself all the dirty work of raising a child? ehehe...

i got my sister the new 2pac cd, produced by eminem. picked up a copy for myself too... i'm not much of a gangsta, but the legacy of 2pac deserves my patronage. listening now...good shit.

came home from work this evening to find a note from my roommate saying: "leave $40 for cable & hydro, gone til' sunday, feed the cat." i'm happy with that. $40 and a little kittysitting in exchange for a couple days of peace and quiet, fuck yeah.

got an invitation to a new year's party via e-mail. a couple of my old employer's are throwing another houseparty shindig. very classy people, and have been great friends over the past few years. if i had made previous plans for new year's eve, other than working or cleaning my toilet, i would have bumped them off for this house party without any hesitation.

on a lighter note: for some reason i'm growing a goutee (sp?). yea... it'll be gone before sunrise.

spent last night at my mom's house.
i'm moving back to my old place in her basement as soon as my roommate finds someone else to take my place here.
i've already mapped out the interior of the place. it's gonna look amazing.
i have about $3000 in rennovations to do to the place. paint, furniture, art, etc.
when completed, i hope to have established a minimalistic sanctuary where i can come home from work and chill the fuck out.

for the most part, i'm excited.

i think i miss someone...
