hmmm. Its interesting that we bring this point up. I can see most of the sides presented;
I was very thankful this morning for being relatively healthy and able. tired nonetheless, but able!
I see so many people everyday and the challenges they face that are outwardly shown.
The whole talk of depression is something that isn't necessarily always visible outward challenge. But doesn't it still exist?
For whatever reason, weather/job/finances/family/lack of direction/loneliness etc, these things definitely affect us all and differently.
we don't face nearly half the challenges that others in this world face, but we cannot discount the feelings we have. I agree it is necessary to be thankful often times and not down all the time. but many have pointed out interesting points to validate the gloom.

Cheer up Everyone! I wish I were there to spread a smile or two : )
I am too tired to think or write - I wish I had more energy; (e:Dan), I agree with an earlier post of yours...the working amongst the regulars..

oh one more thing to be thankful for: My aunt and uncle are coming to spend Thanksgiving Day with me. Last year I went on strike from my local buffalo family and refused to cook or entertain as I felt I was being taken advantage of. I stayed home in my pj's all day; watched the parade; talked to some crazy dudes, and watch Auntie Mame while eating leftover pasta. oh so lame o licious. this time, a year later, life is different; whether in small or big increments-I will embrace it.

enough rambling-i get quite delusional when exhaustion kicks in...
nighty night

Holy freakin' snapperwads!!!! I thought nys was raking me over - good god almighty - these dc taxes are a crime!!! a crime i tell ya. it cannot be real. it just can't . its safe to say i am flippin' the fuck out right now. :(
I'm truly crying right now :(

Cheer up (e:lilho) :)
Just paint your nails a pretty pink to make it all feel better!!!

missed the bus again. :( - Perhaps I do need to dust off the bicycle - it has turned into a temporary coat rack.
anyway,
Hey (e:Tina) - email me your physical mailing address so I can send your earings.
girl where dem pictures @ ?

Have A Wonderful Friday (e:EPeeps)!
toodles :)

so I finally made my trek a pied to the infamous "7 ELEVEN"
(i ran out of cheese let alone all other foods) Most exciting part,
aside from the feel of the cool air lifting me along, is that they sell
WINE!!! so lets calculate: Japanese Sushi/Teriyaki Bar next door,
Home Depot across the street(the new designed HD & no I am not talking about a certain person I am referring to the actual store for all of those who know what the reference means) 7 Eleven that sells wine and champagne, all within a stones throw.
The walk felt good - its totally different from the commute. the commute sucks-pushing and shoving, racing for a seat and exhorbent fare cost. give me a stroll anytime. I wish I could just stroll to work everyday. correction - stroll everywhere w/the occasional strut!!!
(e:Twisted) I need to obtain a camera phone. There is so much I wish I could document during the day without whipping out the big brick (sony mavica) Like yesterday there was some weird evacuation from my bldg. no one knew what was going on; the alarm is going off, the fire trucks are wheeling around the corner, and the people just "mosey" out the bldg like there is no possibility of threat. I wish I could have captured that moment amonst others. Keep up the wonderful pics!


~Thank Heaven for 7 Eleven is what my receipt says~

yeah Paul, I think I agree with (e:Matthew), opting to model your total bootyliciousness!!! don't get me started in uploading....
LOL :)

lunch update: avoided the station; opted for a street dog; sat in front of Georgetown Law; continued my current reading; I think I am starting to wonder what if I...?

perhaps at the end of the reading I will be able to write my own thoughts about if I had one for a day & what its like to be the other sex...

however it's missing vegetables; insert (e:terrys) beautiful veggies [inlink]paul,2407[/inlink] & then its complete!!!
Oh & I made it wearing this:

see, I really do miss you guys so much!

monday nov 15th

enjoyed the long weekend. monday came and I didn't feel like being on time today. what else is new. perhaps I enjoyed sleeping alone in my Queen size bed far too long [inlink]metalpeter,193[/inlink]/ [inlink]lilho,190[/inlink]!!!
I cannot remember when I slept in a twin size bed...hmmm
All I know is that I love my featherbed and down comforter - yet I currently desire more fluff but perhaps less feathers. As I wake up with feathers in my hair sometimes and oftentimes they get in my clothes too! speaking of feathers; those birds @ Union Station are going to drive me nuts. they fly so damn low and right at you - they are fearless and demand that if you don't get out of it's way you will be hit!!! Yuck!!! There is no escaping it since I have to go through this station 4 times a day. Perhaps I can minimize it to twice daily if I start taking lunch and stop buying expensive crap everyday. Today I ate at Starbucks and had a turkey & havarti while reading "Dick for a Day" by Fiona Giles. I do enjoy eating in the station because I get to people watch or listen - listening to people talk about one another, complain that their order is incorrect; watch people dart for trains and the metro; watch people watch you; etc etc etc;

I must say its a totally dangerous place - there are so many resturants its insane! (e:Terry) we would never have to wonder what can we eat for lunch it would be what won't we eat today!!! big_grin I must ween myself away before I become a rollie pollie - there is an inhouse Ben & Jerry's too!!! mmm yummy! Why can't lunch be two hours long? I could have a full course lunch meal and take in a movie before returning to the office .

brb must cook a real dinner.

So I decided to make boneless skinless 99 % fat free thinly sliced chicken breast w/marjoram & a drizzle of roasted garlic olive oil and stuffing for dinner. and because I don't want to open another bottle of wine I will drink what is open: Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc ((who ever brought this to my birthday party - Mucho Grazias, its delicious)) Now I should have leftovers ommitting the wine to take to work for lunch tomorrow thus limiting my contact with those crazy nasty birds that look like they ate squirrels for lunch!
