That was quick

So, first off, sorry I haven't been on here to post lately. I'm trying to figure out where exactly February went. One minute it was here...

Anyway, busy month. First, I got a new cellphone, but was able to keep my old number. That's a good thing. Second, for a week there, my laptop was fixed. Then it started copping an attitude again. Moral of the story-need new computer.

I joined twitter this month. For those who are not in the know, it's basically soundbites for your life. I do 90% of these through my cell, which is a nice feature to have. When I figure out how, I will put it on here. If you know how, please let me know.

I spent Valentine's Day (or Singles Awareness Day as I have dubbed it) working; but I'm not complaining. That's basically how I wanted to do it.

This last week has been a complete whirlwind. It started on Sunday when I went to an Oscar party at a friend's apartment and partook in much too much liqueur. The end result was a wicked night for me in which it felt like my belly was full of worms and I wanted desperately to throw up, but could not. But on the plus side, Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor. Monday was a quiet, but agonizing day. Tuesday, was Mardi Gras.

Yes, Mardi Gras. I had the day off, which I basically spent waiting around for my check to arrive (long story) and then getting minutes on my phone. Bad thing about twitter is it tends to absorb minutes. In the evening, I went to my cousin's apartment and hung out for a bit. I left when I was feeling tired, but when the cold air hit me, I was wide awake again. So, I headed to Seattle, where, I ran into someone I definitely wasn't expecting to run into. It was a male friend of mine who I thought would be at home. He was there with a friend and they persuaded me to go to a club.

Now, before then, I had never been to a club before. Bars, yes, parties, yes, clubs, not so much. And this was a night in which I saw things I had never seen before-up close and personal. Things that are etched (or seared) in my memory for some time to come. But there was a lot of good things that happened as well. And if I had the time, I would tell you.

So, yes, I must run again.

Take care,
Jeremy

Odds and ends

So, first off, I would like to announce that I have a new cell phone. I lost my old one about two months ago, and I was in the position Monday to get a new one. Not only is it a new phone, but a new service as well. I used to be a Cingular customer, but since the majority of the people I call are on the Sprint network, I decided to make the switch. It's a camera phone-something I've never had before. And I plan on joining Twitter, because, well, now I can.

Second, work is keeping me crazy busy. For the month of October, I have had a grand total of one day off a week (hence how I can afford a new phone) and I was informed a few days ago to expect more hours in November and December; what with the upcoming holiday season and the strong possibility that one of my coworkers will be quitting. So, if you are looking for a place that will be hiring, we definitely have an opening.

Health wise, well, could be better, could be worse. Last week, for most of the week, I had a massive kidney attack a day-not fun. It's since calmed down, and I deduced that it was just due to the fact that I hadn't been drinking a lot of water around that time. Something that I have begun to do again. I got over the cold quickly thanks to plenty of Airborne and sleep. And speaking of sleep, with my crazy schedule, I haven't had any insomnia problems at all.

I've been writing more. You may have read the poem I posted on here and I've been writing short stories for a big writer's competition put out by Writer's Digest. I decided to acrew at least a dozen of them before I begin submitting them.

My sister may or may not be flying out for Thanksgiving again this year. The deciding factors are the price of tickets (now that she has to pay for a seat for the munchkin) and whether or not her husband has any different plans. I only found out about that today, so when I know more, I will let you know.

Anyway, I think that's it for now. I hope to post again soon.

Take care,
Jeremy

I have a new cellphone

So, as of Tuesday, July 31st, I have a new cellphone. I have been in dire need of one, and decided to just buckle down and pick up a prepaid one. It only cost me $10, due to me using the last of my Best Buy gift card and I have to say that I really like it.

There's a funny thing about it though. When they assigned me a number for it, they gave me a 202 area code. Why, I have no clue. They even asked me which area code I call the most. For those of you not aware, I live on the West Coast and apparently 202 is Washington DC-the East Coast.

Your guess is as good as mine. For the record, I have zero desire to run for political office. But if I were, I could use the slogan "Why not? My cellphone is already here." Nah, still no interest.

So, anyway, that's what's new for me. Well, I did have a dear friend come back into my life last Friday, July 27th. I am seriously happy that she is back in my life. It is definitely one friendship that I will work hard at making sure it stays afloat. She means a lot to me.

Anyway, until next time. Take care of yourselves out there. Bye.
