random act of kindness

June 28, 2003 — Leave a comment

I am sitting on my porch typing this (no wireless acess, just typing and then dialup afterwards), thinking about karma.

of course there is a story to this, i left my office a little after midnight, pondering how i was getting home. my office is petit valley (suburb, about a 15 minute traffic free drive outside of port of spain), now under normal circumstances public transport to and from there is kind of weird, so at midnight it’s damn near impossible, as i was standing there, flagging down every possible automobile, someone stopped for me.
what’s strange is, on this troubled rock (daily kidnappings, murder and mayhem), is that this person stopped for me. even under the best of circumstances, i get odd looks (6’ 2”, black with dreads, i fit a profile, everywhere and not a particularly good one) and he stopped and gave me a lift in to port of spain. no questions asked. i’m usually quite cynical, but under these circumstances all i can say is thank you.
a public and heartfelt thanks. the milk of human kindness has not completely curdled.
may the ripples of this random act of kindness was upon your shore. wherever you are.

good night.

i’m still here

June 27, 2003 — Leave a comment

it’s 6:30pm and i’m still at the office, it’s been that kind of day. actually it’s because i sat on my ass uninspired all day, that and the new printer that i recommended decided that it was going to be difficult under os x. well i fixed that, now i just need to placate my client when she calls screaming why her webserver which i guaranteed would be up in two days, isn’t going up til monday. i’m so not in the mood. doesn’t help that i have to come into work tomorrow which will be all day adventure by the looks of it.

tonight would be a great night to get fucked, senseless, what am i saying, on any night that would be a dream come through. but tonight i just want to surrender. 21 days, 21 days, 21 days. in three weeks, i’ll be on my way to the airport around now. not soon enough.

i should get back to work, i’m aiming to leaving the printer going with the prints and do the paste up tomorrow. i’ll be back later.

well rested

June 27, 2003 — Leave a comment

i actually got to bed before midnight and managed to get at least 6 hours sleep, so i feel a lot better, although i could crawl back in to bed and sleep til noon. adding to this feeling of well being is the fact that victoria will be here in 3 weeks, 21 days. the time seems to be streaming along, two weeks have passed since i started the count already. my dreams and my thoughts have been filled with longing, it not just about the sex, it’s the intimacy, not feeling a stab of jealousy when i see couples holding hands. the simple things, the kissing, the laughing, face to face conversations. i want them and for 10 days next month i get to have them. and we’re not definitely not going to let another 10 months go by we see each other again.

now the news:

strom thurmond died .

everything else is entertainment:

the birthdate thing that’s been floating around:

Of rare beauty
knows how to adapt
likes luxury
of good health
not in the least shy
tends to look down on others
self-confident
determined
impatient
wants to impress others
many talents
industrious
healthy optimism
waiting for the one true love
able to make quick decisions.

(sounds about correct except for the second to last one – found my true love)

i have to thank jadegrrl for this truly entertaining link – the world lovemaking championships (vic, do you think we should enter or judge?)

and finally your moment of zen

time for work, blog you later.

a farewell to mail

June 26, 2003 — Leave a comment

i gave up my very first email address today. looking back it’s been a fun 8 years. it’s been that long, i got that account when one of the first commercial isps in this country opened, it came with my dialup account. when i gave up the account, i had it the email address transferred to a friend’s dialup account, but now he’s gone and the account is being cleaned up. sigh.
the isp wont give me email alone and an address that’s been around so long generates a massive amount of spam, so it’s with a heavish heart i bed farewell to an era.

the exhaustion is here big time, i had a nap earlier, but that was like an appetiser before a starving man, it was just a tease. the only reason i got out the bed was talk to vic and at least send a draft to my client in kz.

i’m going to get this done and get to bed, before midnight hopefully. adieu.

taking a breather

June 26, 2003 — Leave a comment

my boss is sitting at my computer (well her computer that i use in the office) making text changes to the layouts, giving me a much need chance to relax.
it’s strange after that primary bout of complete exhaustion this morning, i don’t feel any worse for wear and tonight looks like another long one, not as long as the last three, but i have to finish some other layouts to send to khazakstan.

i had so many things on my mind before i sat down here and prepared to post, but now my brain has kind of shut down, i just want to talk to vic until it’s time for me to go home.

i’ll be back later. no question about it, js is like crack, got to have it.

who am i? where am i? where are my panties?

June 26, 2003 — Leave a comment

and what the fuck am i doing in the office so early.

the answer is perfectly simple, the meaning is clear… just don’t disappear, don’t disappear (sorry the song just popped into my head unbidden…) i’m here to finish up the artwork for the campaign, i am flat on my face tired and if i’d stayed home i’d just stay in bed.

i’m waiting for the supermarket downstairs to get some fruit and some water. trying to see how long i can do this before having to resort to the liquid crack.

ok, time for me to do what i came to do

3:47 am. thursday morning (22 days and counting) i finally fucking finshed. now i’m so wired i can’t sleep. what’s interesting is that i haven’t had any caffine.

so everyone seems to have taken this quiz, so here’s my result:

bondage
bondage

What’s YOUR sexual fetish?
brought to you by Quizilla

(what i’d really like to have my mistress tie me to the bed and fuck me silly, although that would mean no sleep, but i would definitely love to be awake for those purpose)

i have a bunch of questionnaires that i’ve appropriated from a number of blogs, but i’m starting to feel that need for sleep.
so thank you and good night or good morning or even good afternoon depending on your location on the globe.
