you bring me joy

32 DAYS TIL VICTORIA ARRIVES

You bring me joy

When I’m down

Oh, so much joy

When I lose my way your love comes smiling on me

I saw your face

And them I knew

We would be friends

I was so afraid but your arms, they’d say `come to me’

So I’d say to you

“Can we talk for a while?”

You’d say “alright”

When you love me, I smile

I feel you hands and you feel mine

You bring me joy

You bring me joy

Don’t go too far away

If I can’t see your face, I will remember that smile

But can this be right

Or should we be friends

I get lonely sometimes and I’m mixed up again

‘Cause you’re the finest thing I’ve seen in all my life

You bring me joy

My joy, my joy

I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be

I just love you, I just love you, can`t you see

That you’re the best I’ve seen in all my life

You bring me joy

My joy . . . you’re my joy

My joy . . . my, my joy

Thank you, baby, thank you, baby

I just love you, baby

When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me


Anita Baker

thank you victoria, for all the joy you bring into my life.

i stayed up til the wee hours of this morning talking to vic and i’m not feeling particularly tired, in fact i feel rejuvenated. it’s usually like this when we’re together, we can stay up for days on end and still be bright eyed and bushy tailed. i’m going to go in early to do some actual time and people management. let’s see how i can get all the stuff i need to get done with the resources at hand (oh wow – management speak, i may actually be good at this)

have a great morning, i’ll be back later with more up details. including if i can lure the sucker (*ahem* artist ) to work today.

i did everything i need to do today, at least on a personal level. 

the picture of the new stage of the ink is in the gallery, (be warned if you’re squemish, this was taken about 5 minutes after i was finished) also had the chat with d, he’s not coming back to work, i can’t blame him. so now i need to find someone who takes instruction well and is willing to work in this hell hole without a lot of hand holding. i think i may know just the sucker (ahem – person) for the job.

i’m waiting for vic to get home and log on, so she can tell me how her weekend with the chicas in nashville was. vicarious thrills.

i’m not looking forward to work tomorrow, this is a short week and the pile of shit that has to be done is growing daily. my boss is familiar with the sucker (ahem – artist) he used to work there before. i never worked with him before but apparently he’s really slow, but at this point, i need someone that can finish up whatever i start.

talking to d today, made me realise how much i’m just marking time at this job. i need to call barbados this week and find out what is going on.

i’m off to have some supper. i’ll be back later.

this is so sad, you have to laugh (this one is especially for you vic)

it’s so hard to make things foolproof because the fools are so ingenious

a fun and classy place for savvy women with a healthy sexual appetite

men and women go for different erotica (we knew that but the conclusions are very interesting)

and your always entertaining, very interesting moment of zen

33 DAYS TIL VICTORIA GETS HERE

happy father’s day to all the fathers, expectant fathers, single moms, gay couples. anyone raising children. here’s to you.

yesterday was lovely, i joined the library. didn’t borrow anything though, i got my hair washed and basically did fuck all for the entire day. meaning all the shit i was supposed to do yesterday, i have to do today.

go see the children (hey i got gifts to collect), scout locations and get some ink. all of this around the canadian grand prix today. got to have some constants in my life (and i use the term loosely.)

in the mean time here are some links of interest (well i was going to post some links but everything was far too depressing for a sunday morning.)

i’m going to perform the morning ablutions and when i return i’ll make another attempt at posting links. ciao.

a day late

DAYS TIL VICTORIA GETS HERE: 34 

i keep promising myself  that i do one of these and in my anger and frustration yesterday, i completely forgot, so here my friday five

1. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do, but never have? 
tour the near and far east 

2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest? 
almost brutally so 

3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn’t? What happened? 
yes, i’m still waiting for it to bit me in the ass 

4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why? 
william gibson’s cyberpunk series, because i’m such a geek. 

5. What’s one talent/skill you don’t have but always wanted?

i had a lovely nights sleep filled with all sorts of lovely dreams. i’m ready to face the day. i’m supposed to scout more locations today as well as continue on the tattoo, we’ll see how that goes. it’s also an F1 weekend. need to find somewhere to watch, because it’s in canada, the qualifying/race time is a reasonable hour. 

i just took the fox iq test (that even looks ironic), i got 45 questions right and scored 112. whatever. there is no correlation, no way to asses the score. 

time for breakfast, i’m ravenous. until later, i bid you adieu.

a day like today

June 13, 2003 — Leave a comment

after a day like today we need good news and humour:

got this off of masterofmice’s blog:

Assmosis – The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss.
Blamestorming – Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.
Seagull Manager – A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, shits over everything and then leaves.
Salmon day – The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end.
Chainsaw consultant – An outside expert brought in to reduce the employee head count, leaving the brass with clean hands.
CLM – Career Limiting Move – Used among microserfs to describe ill-advised activity. Trashing your boss while he or she is within earshot is a serious CLM.
Adminisphere – The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
Dilberted – To be exploited and oppressed by your boss. Derived from the experiences of Dilbert, the geek-in-hell comic strip character. “I’ve been dilberted again. The old man revised the specs for the fourth time this week.”
Flight Risk – Used to describe employees who are suspected of planning to leave the company or department soon.
404 – Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message “404 Not Found,” meaning that the requested document could not be located. “Don’t bother asking him . . . he’s 404, man.”
Generica – Features of the American landscape that are exactly the same no matter where one is, such as fast food joints, strip malls, subdivisions. Used as in “We were so lost in generica that I forgot what city we were in.”
Ohnosecond – That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you’ve just made a BIG mistake.
Percussive Maintenance – The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
Umfriend – A sexual relation of dubious standing or a concealed intimate relationship, as in “This is Dyan, my … um … friend.”

the evil overlord list (basic rules for world domination) and if you’re not bright enough to realise you have to scroll down, you’re not cut out to be an evil genius.
