time after, time after time

7 - 6 - 06
I haven't written here in forever because I forgot all about it. I like the ability to write here once again and hide it from those who would read my other online journal, at another journaling site. I love it I tell you, I love it!

nice to be back
I was reading some of my older entries and it was great because it reminded me of life in 2001 and 2002. Fun years but a lot of stuff left undone as well. I like the entries in this thing and wish I could find a way to download all of my entries so that I could read them in an easier format. Perhaps I should email Pitas about that and make an inquiry. Anyone out there with an idea?

THe Giants better win tonight because I can't take another loss. ever.

after some pause
Boy, I can't remember the last time I posted here. It is refreshing in a way. I have to come back here and post the things I can no longer post at my livejournal because, like this place once was, I know too many people that visit my site.

I wish that I could write more in here but I rarely even remember that I have this place to write. If any still reads this page, let me know. khermann@fastmail.fm

it's all the same
i haven't written in here in quite some time but it doesn't seem like much has changed. today i wrote Bert a letter which could double as a journal entry except that it does ask for feedback. feedback that i will never get, so i guess it is just like writing in my journal at home.

curl after curl after curl
Even though john entwistle died, i have paul weller tunes running through my head. maybe because they're just so damn good. or maybe they are just a lot more pleasant than thinking about the passing of a part of my choldhood and the possible sign that i am only getting closer. crazy, crazy world. Entwistle gone and Keith Richards still standing.

been a long time since I did the stroll
It's june 6, and I felt like reverting to this page to see how things were going. I like this page because my logon is really easy. Idon't think it is something I can forget. And speaking of which, I can't believe the Nets stayed with the Lakers last night. All right I can't write a bunch of stuff right now but I shall return.

I have given up on this page. I realized that too many people read it and it makes me overly self-conscious about what I write and that's no good. So I bid this page a fond farewell in search of another spot to ramble on.

I wasn't planning on writing in here for a while but I have a little down time and plenty to comment on. First, I must say I am rather amazed that Jennifer Connelly thanked me when she got her award. Kind of weird that she refered to me as her "son", but hey, I'll take what I can get on that one. But, even more amazing was that Hollywood gave Denzel and Halle their just rewards. I couldn't have been happier. Although, Halle Berry did melt down a bit more than dramatically necessary. Nice dress though. Mmm. I don't even have to tell you how hideous Gwyneth looked, damn! I wonder if her date was fresh from Transylvania and she was just trying to make him feel at home. I was a bit disappointed that Randy Newman won for best song. I rather liked how he was always a bridesmaid (14 times?) and never the bride. And maybe I am still steaming over that "short people" song he penned awhile back.
I got a nice email from a friend in Hawaii on Friday. I always worry about him and his marriage. His marriage seems like such a lot of work with so little return for him. But I know he has a lot invested and gets lots of golden moments out of it in the big picture. And I am not about to go into measuring the meaningfulness of other people's relationships here. But it was something on my mind and none of you know him so it was easy to write about. and, oh yeah, in his email he talked about how his marriage is going "a WHOLE lot better." I was real happy to hear about that. And just for the record, all of my other close friends that are married seem to be happy and healthy. Boy, I didn't mean to imply that my married friends have shaky relatoinships. Now let's turn the page, shall we?
Even though it didn't get best director, I was very happy that Gosford Park got best original screenplay. That was some extremely good writing. But did the Oscars have to go on that long? Why were there 3 awards for lifetime acheivement?!? Yes, I know they weren't all the official lifetime acheivement award but that's basically what they were. Potier had a great speech, berry should have been taking notes. And my last Oscar note is that I was extremely happy that No Man's Land won for best foreign film. I thought for sure Amelie would win, even though it didn't deserve to win. that was almost as good if I had won for best member of the audience. great movie. simple movie. well done.
I won't be writing in here on Wednesday so I have to give a nod to my sister Alithea ahead of time. I guess everybody really does get older. I never thought it would happen like this but all those cliches about time marching on, etc., really do apply. But just think if it didn't, boy, then we would really be in a world of hurt. we could see the results of short-sightedness, from the way we treat the earth to the way we treat our friends. ouch, who would want that hell? okay, sarcastic boy has to go now.

St. Patrick's Day 2002
The last few days have been quite eventful but on a relatively small scale. I have had my share of Guinness this festive weekend (which started on thursday). And even though I should have more time to write, I haven't made it. Tonight for instance I watched O Brother Where Art Thou (after the Simpsons) and then met up with this person I met a couple of weeks ago at marina lounge. she is a bartender at comet club and i just happened to see her on my way home last night from Catherine's festivities (which I will get to later). I met her and her friend when Mark and I beat them in pool. I didn't really get to know her at all so it was sort of surprising that I recognized her last night in the state I was in. Actually I can't believe that she remembered me either. I am sure she has seen a lot of new faces in those couple weeks. But anyway, she said she would buy me a beer if I stopped by tonight so I reluctantly agreed. Right about now I have absolutely no interest in beer. I had a great time hanging out with Catherine and meeting her friends last night but there was a point where I just had to bail. I didn't need anything more to drink and I wasn't overly excited about dancing. Plus, instead of taking it easy in preparation for Catherine's alcoholic olympics, I had gone out Thursday and Friday nights. Now I am just tired and lathargic. I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already. I have to start another week of job hunting. This week I plan on being much more diligent in the past. I have to do something to get a positive cash flow, even if it is only for a couple of weeks or a month. The one thing I must do is take a break from my pita page. If I tell you I am gonna give it a break for awhile I don't feel bad if I don't write here for the next week, month or whatever. But I will be checking my email and keeping in touch. The strangest thing that happened to me recently was on Friday. I met chris and we went to get a slice of pizza for lunch. while sitting there enjoying my Escape from New York slice of pizza I noticed a five dollar bill on the floor. Written in flourescent green ink on it was Lucky Five. I saw other people walk by it and not notice it so I decided to go over and pick it up. But for some reason I felt weird about keeping it. So instead of quickly stashing it in my pocket I dropped it in the tip jar. I felt that would benefit those minimum wage lackeys by giving them beer money for later. (here comes the weird part) Later, while I was having pints of Guinness with Chris and Corkery I was on my way to the bar when a girl said hey, you dropped this, and it was a five dollar bil! No, it wasn't the one with flourescent writing on it but it was just as wacky. First of all I can't remember when i found money laying on the ground and secondly I am not sure if I have ever been given money that i have dropped on the floor. and for them both to be five dollar bills, what are the odds?! but that's just how strange life can be. and what are the odds chris talks up a party like Catherine's and then totally bags out on it? bastard. i am sure he had good reason but he is still a bastard for leaving me to fend for myself in a sea of beer and Jack daniels. I knew when I started the night with Jack on the rocks that it was going to be a strong evening. just glad I left while the getting was still good. I had no idea bert was gonna call so early and invite me to brunch. talk about an offer i couldn't refuse. i never see him or his daughter(my goddaughter) and this was my chance to do both. had to. just like putting that five in the tip jar and taking a break from drinking and writing in this pita. had to.
