Classic DF – 10/11/03

October 11, 2003: [•] My life has reached an evolutional plateau. I am quite happy by this. Now that change has stagnated I can focus on who I am and what I believe. I can follow my set course of action and stick to my ideals. Things are excellent. For the first time in a long time I am not only happy, but content too. Yes content and happy. My life is back in full effect. I have decided after the result of this year’s impromptu DigitalFl00d party that I want to become straight edge again. Not because I had a bad drinking experience. No, it’s not because I think things are out of control. It’s just I’m tired of alcohol. Thus I think my overall mid-life crisis with alcohol passes without much ado about anything. I’ve grown bored with certain things. Things I don’t need. So like dead leaves those things fall off. Two things consume me. Primarily being a father. I have become even more hard pressed to continue to be dedicated 150% to my daughter at all times. Secondary, to work hard to continue to prosper to insure her successful future. I have begun to fine tune the songs I’ve been working on. The rap thing seems to be slipping away, but whatever it is that I am creating is all that much better. I will not seek to define it other than mind blowing.

September 23, 2003: [•] New old web pages. It’s like new old cheese. Only cheesier. And now equipped with Riboflavin! JOY! Check out Verona’s new old web page because she’s like my best friend and I basically live at her hour five out the seven days of the week. Mostly because no one else would put up with my crap that much on a daily basis. [•] While on the subject of new old web pages, good old Sepiroth (pronounced Q-AHAHDHDHSHHDH-d**RLK) updated his site and moved it on over to the greener grass of ye old Jeph.net. Check him out. Not in that way! God! Perv! [•] If you haven’t been keeping up with Stack Ups! then you suck. I mean really, you do. So start making it a habit to check it everyday. Like checking your blood sugar. That old guy in the commercials tells me to check my “blood sugar as often as the doctor says”. My doctor says never. So I don’t. Wow, I’m a wealth of info this week. [•] It’s my favorite time of year! NO NOT FALL! I’m talking about Octoberfest beer release time (duh). I’m a German Lager lover (not to be confused with an alcoholic who simply is a lover of being Lagered). Saranac has released their limited edition Saranac Octoberfest Traditional Lager. It’s good. So if you’re over 21 pick up a pack. It’s good beer that is German and Lager. And remember don’t drink and drive especially in the wrong direction on a one way street. And with that word of wisdom I call it a night. You’re a night! –

September 20, 2003: [•] Early this morning I came home from a long night of both work and play. As I laid down to go to sleep I had a number of realizations. It was like I awoke from the fantasy world that my life had become lately. I realized that many of things I thought I had that I did not. I realized that things were not what they seemed. I realized that things I said in French could never be real in English. It was like the return of my old self after a long hiatus in a far off place. It was like the return of flAnnelmAn. God, I missed myself.

September 18, 2003: [•] Today was a day of both good and bad for me. A little bit from column A. A little bit from column B. Overall it could have been worse or it could have been better, but what was simply… ummm… was. That’s okay in and of itself. I don’t want to talk about me today though. Instead I want to talk about someone else. For the first time in a long time I saw one of my friends truly happy. I saw something in his smile that I hadn’t seen from him in what would seem ages. To you my friend I send you the best wishes that those moments will continue. Seeing others happy tends to remind me of the things I want in life. I won’t lie. I do want that kind of happiness that comes from finding someone you can share love with. Even so, doing what I am doing now isn’t bad in any sense of the word. My life is coming together slowly, but surely. When I do have that special someone in my life I want to be ready for them. I want my life to be together enough that I can focus on their presence instead of all the issues I have to focus on now. Then again, when you are with someone you love that much even those little things don’t matter so maybe I’m just putting too much thought behind my actions again. Damn this thing called rational. Damn it straight to Hell. 😉 My biggest regret, once again, seems to simply be the things I cannot bring myself to say or do. Point number two I have to work on. Note to self: Figure this all out after you’ve had some sleep to clear the cobwebs. Point taken, I’m out..

September 16, 2003: [•] There is this certain feeling that you get when your life comes full circle. It is an unrelenting condition that is somewhere between peaceful content and absolute disappointment. When you find yourself exactly where you started out and with no gain after much work you can only let out a sigh. I’m sure you’ve been there too. That is where I am today. I’m not upset or angry. Then again I’m not overjoyed and full of satisfaction. I’m just in a medium lull waiting to get going again. It’s like being on a rollercoaster only to get stuck upside in the loop to loop. I guess all I can do now is tap my finger and wait for the ride to start again. Whenever “again” might be, well that’s an entire other bone to pick on and tonight I’m just too tired to even try to gnaw on it. It’s probably just better to sleep on this one. So I will.
