life is short, life is shit, and it will soon be over.

i feel the need to update, just because the extra-long holiday weekend made it seem like an extra-long time since i've done so. and even though i haven't done much other than drink way more than is probably advisable, not get enough sleep, work, and possibly acquire pneumonia in the past three days, i figure there has got to be something to say. it will be a good exercise for the hamster, who is marinating in the leftover booze just now starting to dry up in my brain.

i'm gonna put this out there right now. kanye west has finally infiltrated my life to the point where it is no longer possible for me to ignore his existence. not that i was trying, but i hadn't gotten around to picking up the album and certain people named charles who were in charge of burning it for me made off with my blank cd's and, shockingly, didn't return with anything resembling a kanye west album. and i'm not ever one of those people who run out to the store and buy the album and force it into my life at that exact moment that everyone else is. first of all, i never have any money, so that pretty much takes care of that. but also, i find it kind of interesting how music appears at certain moments, and maybe something that you've been hearing about for a long time but have never actually heard finally makes its way into your head and takes the fuck over. a la mr. west. i cannot deny him, at this point. and why would i want to? i need him.

yin-yang mossimo hackey-sack is a blog written by someone who has a lot of spot on things to say about a lot of the inanity swirling around at any given time. i like it.

i honestly do feel like death right now. i need to be hooked up to some sort of vitamin and mineral dispensing machine or something...although preferably one that doesn't over-dispense niacin, as my sister just recently accidentally poisoned herself with too much of whatever the hell niacin is. i didn't know it was possible to poison oneself with vitamins and minerals, but apparently it is. take note.

alison, if you are reading this, email your loving sister with your location on the web. i should like to visit you there.

all right, that was it. pretty weak. i apologize. the hamster should be finished drying out by tomorrow or so, and then we will reassess and decide if what he really needs is another drink or a healthier lifestyle. i'm telling you right now, it's probably going to be the former.
