So, where are your favorite places to be? I have to say that mine is the shower. I love the water, the smell of the soap, the steam, the fact that its one of the few places you can be by yourself (normally). Its one of the few places where you can be yourself and still retain as much dignity as one can while being naked. Its also a good place to get some sweet, sweet lovin'. Whats not to love?

I can't say that I had an evening as interesting as what my brother went through - in cases like this I use my instinct and do what I please.

Tonight is one of those nights where a warm beverage, my ipod and a book or a notepad are in order. This is my usual default thing to do when I have time, nothing to do and nowhere to be. I'm sorry that I haven't been particularly social with many people but I've been busy trying to make Chateau Larson tidier and being introspective and brooding and what not.

I have been home for a month straight and I have to say that its been the best thing for me in a long time. I've had time to finally slow down a bit, think things through and move forward with some things that I've been wanting to do. I totally forgot what it was like to have some time for yourself!

Anyhow, thats about it. Bai!

Who is on the Sabres side?



Can't argue with that!

Before I get into this one, I have to say that for the weekends Halloween parties that I will not be dressing up, as I never do. I hope thats okay and if I am not let into Halloween parties because I'm not really a costume kind of guy, I'll just have to go to the bar!

A memory came back to me today while I was listening to Coldplay. Once upon a time (meaning 2 or 3 years back) I was having um, "relations" with a girl that lived around the block from Chateau Larson. I began to notice that I was falling for her, and I am utterly incapable of keeping my feelings to myself for too long. So, I decided to write her a poem and make a mix CD for her. A few days later I asked her if she got the package I sent to her, and she said to me that the some of the songs were kind of whiny on the CD - Coldplay was on the disc!

Her reaction shocked me a little bit, but I soon found some humor in it for some reason. Being a Gemini I am supposedly quick to find humor in all things, which for me is 100% true. I quickly realized that my efforts were wasted, which for me is perfectly okay - you are always better off letting people know how you feel rather than not giving it a go.

In all honesty, even though it didn't work out, I have a lot to thank that girl for. Firstly, she got me over the fact that the girl I thought I was going to marry cheated on me for the SECOND time (another story for another time) and she put my faith back into women. Secondly, she made me realize that I need to find cooler music to put on mix CDs. Thirdly, she taught me that life is meant to be enjoyed and to loosen up a bit. Fourthly, she made me look at myself and others in ways I hadn't before. I can honestly say that the experience has made me a better person and if I had the opportunity I'd definitely buy this girl a drink... she doesn't know that she had a positive impact on me and probably thinks that she hurt me.

All of this from her reaction to a Coldplay song!

I haven't read the article in question in Rolling Stone, but its not particularly surprising to me that somehow that uneducated lunatic's discombobulated rantings ended up in RS - it is well known for left-leaning opinion pieces. It is particularly unfortunate because I like reading music magazines and this type of garbage basically ensures that I will read anybody else's magazine instead. If they are going to have some schmuck write their inane opinions in the magazine, at least give the public somebody with some credibility and reknown. The Beast is utterly worthless outside of a few laughs.

I have been invited to several Halloween parties this weekend - I'm completely flattered and I am definitely going to be showing my face. The problem is that I'm not particularly a Halloween person - there is no way that I'm wearing costumes anywhere. So, partygoers and party hosts - be forewarned that I'm showing up in my standard uniform of collared shirt, North Face vest, jeans, shoes of some sort and gelled up hair, probably in some sort of mohican party boy fashion. Since I rarely go out anymore I think this will fly because its a legitimate "as himself" type of situation - I can hardly be found in public anymore!

Although I do not wear costumes, the one thing I particularly enjoy about Halloween is that it gives girls license to show as much off as they want. I absolutely love that - do your thang ladies!
