My heart is sad. I just read that my dad's brother died. In April. I don't even know if my father knows or even cares. They would have no way to reach him if they wanted to.
It hurts me everyday to think how isolated he has made himself. He angers me, makes me cry and elicits my sympathy all at the same time.
I wish I could still call you "Dad"

I hate that I can't watch a movie and not think about her. I hate how I can't get over her. I hate how I tell her I've given up but I haven't. I hate missed opportunities. I hate him for being there when I couldn't be. I hate her for making the decision.

How frustrating. I ordered my new phone and it shipped on the 7th. I figured it would take a while to get here as they told me it would be here on the 12th. So I check the FedEx tracker and here is what I see:
So it just chills at the package center for 3 days before they throw it in the truck to get to my house? Lame! I wish I could just go pick it up tomorrow.

Ok, I'm a pretty decent Avril Lavigne fan (apparently, she makes music, too?) but this card of hers and the ones of other music artists is scary. Putting Chingy on a Mastercard, to me at least, is almost the equivalent of putting the kids from Boondocks on a pack of Newports. Am I wrong?

Pointless, I know, but I would like to offset all the Bob Cole bashing and commend him on one thing tonight. He called it the Stanley Cup Final, not the Stanley Cup Finals like most people incorrectly do.
Good on you Bob.
Now Edmonton, kick back, relax, watch a great East Final and get ready. Oh and buy earplugs. Rexall is going to be louder than it's ever been when game 3 rolls around.

With my mom having gone to hospital with a concussion, my sister for shortness of breath, myself for a sprained ligament in my knee, and now my uncle being the ICU with an infection from a tooth that spread to his entire body, I'd certainly be happy not to see cream colored walls and hear about another person sick for a while.
Thankfully, my mom, sister and I are ok. My uncle, it's just a matter of time from what it sounds like.

Well, any fears I had about flying or anything else have been replaced with the prospect of knee surgery. I just got home from the hospital where the doctor thinks I might have torn my meniscus in my left knee. I have to use crutches for the near future, get to be hopped up on Vicodin and have to get an MRI in a couple weeks. Nothing like tooling around a town you've never been to before while on crutches.

So I'm now a week away from my first flight since June of 2002 and my first trip to somewhere not served by the Amtrak Cascades since October 2002.
What's different about this trip compared to the last 3 (Detroit, Indianapolis, Rohnert Park) I've taken? I have already met the person I'm visiting. Novel idea, no? My personality doesn't lend itself to keeping friends for a long time but somehow Mark and I have stayed friends for 12 or so years now. I guess that's a good sign. Here's our gayest picture, taken in White Rock, B.C.
Yes, I do have eyes, not just eyebrows.

Game Show Host Dies in Plane Crash
Game Show Host Dies in Plane Crash
A small plane carrying retired game show host PETER TOMARKEN and his wife KATHLEEN crashed off the coast of Santa Monica, CA, today, killing both, "The Insider" has confirmed. Authorities say the six-seater Beechcraft aircraft was bound for San Diego around 9:50 a.m. when the pilot reported engine trouble. County firefighters said the plane went down in the Pacific waters about 200 yards offshore, and a man and a woman were taken by boat to the Los Angeles County sheriff's station in nearby Marina del Rey. They were both pronounced dead. Tomarken was a longtime game-show host best known for the show "Press Your Luck" (1983-1986) and "Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck"; he also occasionally appeared on shows such as "Ally McBeal." He was 63.

So I'm watching the 520 DOT cam (it's a slow Olympics day) and it got me thinking. They take the time to fix the rollers and bridge decks, etc. but has anyone ever actually seen them open it? In 25 years, I can't think of one time I've seen a boat go through that they needed to open the bridge for. Wait, one time for when they were constructing 90 but that's it.
I think I'll rent a canoe and make them open it for me.
