TrustySidekick77 (11:14:10 PM): you're a good friend.... good friend

So why do I share this with everyone?
Because it's been awhile since I've posted here, an' this conversation made me laugh.
'Cuz I really needed a good one after the way this weekend was.
Hopefully this week'll be somewhat of a return to normalcy, or at least get me ready for my birthday week.

And apparently I write excellent speeches.
I've got another one written for another friend.
Question is, should I share it with the world?

'Til my next post, feel free to enjoy this spoken word piece.

And then a wedding speech.

Congrats to the Sebrings.
They're still in Vegas honeymooning it up.

I did offer to write their wedding vows for them.
-Mmmhmm.
-Sure.
Glad they were wise enough to realize I was joking an' declined.
'Specially w/ the speech.
Cuz it probably would've turned out to be something like this:

First off, I want to say congrats an' all that other good stuff to the newlyweds.
Now, we're all here to celebrate the joining of two lives an' the loss of one's sex life.
Because true love shouldn't be about sex.
It shouldn't be about blowjobs, titty-fucking, doggy-style, missionary, the 69 position, quickies, public "outings", motor-boating, how many fingers you can fit in a hole, or whatever exotic position you can grab out of the kama sutra.

No.
It's about the joining of two lives.
Not the joining of genitalia an' orifices.
Because sex is not the important factor here.
We're here to bare witness to the beautiful sight that is the joining of two souls to start off on a path of glorious discovery that is their new life together.

Not to be confused with the consummation of their marriage.
To make love, to do the horizontal mambo, to hide the salami, to vacuum the carpet, to get to the bottom of the mystery, to park the car in the garage, to play hide an' go seek, to moor the boat in the dock, to make Mr. Winkey happy, to round the bases, to spit in the cave, to tame the one-eyed monster, to ride the pole, to march the penguin, to tickle tiny tim, or to dip the spoon in the pudding.

It's not about sex tonight, and I'm not sure why it keeps coming up.
Because David and Lailani aren't single.

I am.
I didn't come here tonight with a date and that thin mattress on the floor of my apartment I call my bed could use some company tonight.

But in all seriousness, just look at these two an' the way they stare into each others eyes.
The insane amount of happiness they inspire each other with.
The same craziness that I wouldn't mind having.
To go beyond being coocoo for cocoa puffs an' find the mind-numbing madness that true love can inspire.
You two should be ashamed of yourselves for how happy you are together.
Not really.

Dave, Lailani, you both truly define what awesomeness is and I love you in the most manly, heterosexually way that's possible.
May your relationship last longer than a reality show couple an' spawn grandchildren to make your parents happy.
Cheers!

Neighbor's child is REALLY cranky.
Either that or someone's dead.
I'm hopin' someone just needs a nap.
You'd think after 20+ mins their voice would get tired.

Anyways.
I'm posting song lyrics.
Because I haven't done that in awhile.
And I can think of a few ladies to apply this to.

Reynard Silva - Everytime

It could have been someone else
But no it's you girl that is constantly inside my head
Maybe I'm delirious, feeling so far out
Because a girl like you never comes my way
Whenever you walk past by
I feel giddy inside and my heart skips a beat or two
Wondering why you're in my dreams
Something I can't figure out
But all I know is that it's you

Everytime I see you I
I don't know what to say
Maybe it's because I
Think about you everday
Your smile, your happiness
Is the key to my heart
Please don't look the other way

What else can I say
I'm telling you the truth
You've gotta let me know
If I'm wasting my time
Come you help me girl cuz I
I don't know what to do
All I can do is hope you feel the same way too

Girl now that I have told you how I feel
Tell me if it's wrong or if it's real
I want to know you're every feeling
Don't leave me out in the dark alone
If you don't feel the same way as I do
Than I
I won't push it out on you
If I never heal my heart
But for now this is how I feel

Everytime I see you I
I don't know what to say
Maybe it's because I
Think about you everyday
Your smile, your happiness
Is the key to my heart
Please don't look the other way

What else can I say
I'm telling you the truth
You've gotta let me know
If I'm wasting my time
Come you help me girl cuz I
I don't know what to do
All I can do is hope you feel the same way too

What more do I have to lose
If I don't even have you
Why keep my feelings inside
Might as well tell you now
Because girl I can't hide

Well let me know if I'm not the one you're searching for
Cuz I really need to know
I want these feelings to grow
Because I've fallen for you

Everytime I see you I
I don't know what to say
Maybe it's because I
Think about you everyday
Your smile, your happiness
Is the key to my heart
Please don't look the other way

What else can I say
I'm telling you the truth
You've gotta let me know
If I'm wasting my time
Come you help me girl cuz I
I don't know what to do
All I can do is hope you feel the same way too
-------------------------------------

Think I transcribed that one right.

So when does one become too old for crushes?
Can safely say I'm sprung though.
For now, just slowly feeling my way around an' tryin' to make sure it's not just infatuation.
On both of our parts.

The way I look at it, we're all just tryin' to find someone to be comfortable with naked.
At the least, find someone to mix & match genitalia & orifices with.

And then there's voicemail.

I just noticed I've made at least 50 posts here.
Man.
What have I been doin' with all of my freetime?

So yea.
Voicemails.
My current one is "MmmmHmmm" followed by the standard prompt.

Short. Simple. Random.
Just having fun with mine, even if it confuses people an' as an end result stops them from leaving a voicemail.
That's why I'm thinkin' about changin' it up every month.

Voicemail messages for the future:
- "No."
- "How's life?"
- "Speak."
- Roommate snoring.
- 5 second pause than "Hi"
- A snippet of a song I wrote called "Hurrah for Boobies"

Feel free to call my new number, an' check out that months voicemail.
'Cuz generally, I'm not a fan of routine if you haven't noticed.
If you need/want the new number, drop me a line.
-----------------------------------

My apologies for lack of content, just alot of madness over the month that can almost remind oneself of Sparta.
At least that means lots of fun stories for everyone.

-Down to three but am now officially open to other prospects w/ my finances balancing out.
-Hot Fuzz. I like. Alot.
-Apparently I've become an asian Hitch over the past few months?
-Almost went to Vegas last Wednesday night.
-Phones that're buggy.
-Peer pressure.

So many things to go over.
Just wish I had more random quotes for everyone.

The only reason I go to Starbucks is to flirt with the female employees.

When was the last time I plugged a concert?
How 'bout today?

Micheal Tiernan & Sven-Erik Seaholm @ The Belly Up Tavern
April 15th - 3pm
21+
$8 pre-sale
$10 at the door
It's a dual cd-release party/nice Sunday afternoon concert for some awesome singer/songwriters from San Diego.
If that's not reason enough, Mr. Tiernan's also celebratin' his bday.
They've got Newcastle Ale on tap.
Plus I'll be there.
If that doesn't sell it for you, I don't know what will.

Nothing like a pubic hair sampler to help you appreciate life's natural beauty.

And then there's peep jousting.

Happy Bunny Awareness Day peeps!

Today I wanted to share with you a timed honored tradition spawned from an office temp job I used to have.

Peep jousting.

For as long as I could remember, there have always been peeps during this time of the year.
Those tiny, marshmallowy, vibrantly colored, lil' duckies.
There's also always been a large surplus of them available after the Easter season's over.
What better way to make the best of their life span than by makin' them fight each other.

Take two peeps, set them on a microwaveable friendly plate facing each other, and stick a toothpick into the front of each of 'em.
Microwave for a unspecified amount of time.
They'll start to expand.
Loser's the one that gets stabbed first.

Just some basic, simple, fun there.
Probably post a video after this year's tournament.

We had team pink vs. team yellow.
Also placed best for individual matches an' overall team standings.
That was a fun waste of money.

So I'm thinkin' bi-weekly barbecues at the apatment starting sometime in May.
----------------------

In retrospect, I think we should've went with 4 bags of breadsticks from Pat & Oscars last night.

And then there's some hazards with dating...

Somedays you call into sick because you don't want to go into work that day.
Then there are the days like this one where you call in sick because you actually are.
Tummy wasn't bein' agreeable with me this morning when I woke up to get ready for work.

After spending half the day lying on my back and staring at my ceiling, I realized I was dealin' with some mild food poisoning.

One of the ladies I'm dating cooked me some spaghetti yesterday.
Sauce kinda tasted off, but bein' the polite person I am, I didn't make any note of it.
It was made for me with lots of affection and probably an expired ingredient or two.
Since she also gave a much needed backrub earlier I wasn't gonna complain.

Maybe I should've though.
Well, I guess I am with this post.
One has to wonder though: was this food poisoning planned out or unintentional?
Maybe I did something wrong.

Maybe.
Probably.
Who knows?

All I know is, I'll feel more comfortable bein' the main cook in this particular relationship.
And all of you get another fun dating story from me.

So yea, check my pics in the next coming week.
Figure it's time I start addin' to the collection.
It's all part of an unofficial campaign.
To bring sexy back.
One pic at a time.

Not sure why my mind's so active at the moment.
Alignment of the stars?
Hormones?
Inner child acting out?
Keeps makin' me come up with randomness like the following:

Have you ever just found yourself standing around with your pants around your ankles in a public setting and thought to yourself, "how did I end up like this?"

Man, that was a fun baptismal.

One love everyone.
'Cuz I'm greedy an' keepin' the rest to myself.

I tend to leave alot of the songs I write unfinished.
Got notebooks full of 'em.
Kind of a fun glimpse into my mindset at the time.
Also throw in some random one acts, short film ideas, and monologues into the mix.
It's not one of my songs that everyone's been waitin' to analyze, but it is something.
Something (I'm not sure what to classify it under) from late '05.
I was probably still a tad bit emo than.

Sad Wish

What's so difficult?
Am I making things hard for you?
Then just comfortably leave me even though I can't understand why.
I do have a favor to ask you though.
You have to be living happily next time I run into you so I can understand.

Don't apologize to me.
Just show me your smile while you hold everything in.
I want to yell 'no' but since I know it's pointless I'll just let you slip away.

Next time be happy.
That way I can't approach you and can easily let you go.
If you can't do it, you can come back to me.
I'm still living for you.
It's hard, but I will wait, remembering the times we've spent in comfort.

I think I'll cry because I don't understand.
I have no confidence I'll be able to forget you.
I want to yell 'no' but since I know it's pointless I'll just let you slip away.
----------------------------------------

So yea, not really sure what I was aiming for when I put that together.
All I know is that it involved the breaking down of my last relationship.
Although it does leave me w/ a solid base for a song.
I'm thinkin' heavy on the strings.
'Cuz I'm a classic type of guy.

Gonna change pace here courtesy of one of my old high school buds.
At least until the end of the week I'm supposed to avoid everything that could effect my vision in a negative way until my eyes heal completely.
I just noticed that the act of motor-boating at this moment could potentially alter my vision in a negative way for the rest of my life.
How fun would that be though?
Permanent blindness caused by ample bosom.

I like to think that when you move in with someone, you're tellin' yourself: "I hope we don't break-up."
More on that in a future post.

Raise your hand if you've gotten Lasik surgery!
*Raises hand*
MmmHmm...

I'm the proud owner of 20/15 vision now.
Courtesy of the fine people at www.kaweschlaser.com

They have this list of celebrities they've performed Lasik on.
The one that got me to sign up: David Carradine.
Taye Diggs is awesome, don't get me wrong.
But he didn't convince everyone that he was asian for a long time.

Went karaoking that night to test out the new vision an' sport the nifty protective goggles I had to wear that day and everytime I go to bed for the next week or so.
Song I wanted to karaoke: Burning Ring of Fire.
'Cuz that's what it felt like in my eyes right after the surgery.
Song I ended up karaoking first: I Can See Clearly Now.

If you haven't noticed thru any of my postings yet, I can be a bit cheesy and/or random.
Actor, go figure.

So yea, new vision's great.
Night vision's awesome.
Probably make the singles life easier on me.
Can see more of the subtle signs out there.
Can even spot the Adam's apples the night of as opposed to the morning after.

Why does everyone insist on prying into my dating life?
Is it really that fun to live vicariously thru me?

All I can say 'bout that last comment is that I'm glad I'm Asian because I only have to deal with stupid shit like that half the time.
To get more detailed 'bout that would just make me get fired up.
Personally, I'd rather focus on the joys of life.

Like dating.

I've gone from seven (7) down to four (4) ladies that I'm dating on a consistent basis now.
One just kinda stalled from an emotional growth point.
The other came to a mutual agreement that it'd just work out better as a friends with benefits status.
The last one...
The last one's a more fun situation.

I met her bar-hopping.
Turns out she's dating multiple guys too.
I would be one of three.
She decided to lower it down to two a few weeks back.

I didn't make the cut.
And here I was thinkin' I helped bring sexy back.

So yea, Lasik surgery on Friday.
Still need a driver at this point.
Turns out my original surgeon passed away from a massive heart attack last week.
His brother's gonna take over the practice for him.
Kinda makes me appreciate the randomness that is the world we live in.

Random.
Like my dating life.
Ideally I'd like to keep my magic number at around 4 or less until the month of April is over.
Funds're kinda stretched as is and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to afford more.
Damn you life for sending more prospects my way.
But there are some great ones...

Great smile.
Sense of humor.
And that's enough for this equal opportunity single.

One has to wonder though: Am I too old to have a crush on someone?
'Cuz I figure that if I remember her face AND her name, that's definite interest on my behalf.

Sometimes options are a bad thing.
But to those depressed singles out there, remember this:
Everyday that passes brings out more legal options for us.
Somebody's 18th birthday is today.

And then there's Lasik
So I started the new year with three things on my to do list by the end of the year.

1.) Buy a big screen for the living room.
2.) Get Lasik surgery.
3.) Get a comfy bed to replace the thin mattress I use currently in my apartment.

Yea, they're all purchases and placed in order of importance.
I've got my priorities straight.
Haven't had any complaints 'bout the bed yet.

On March 23rd I get #2 out of the way.
Courtesy of Dr. Kawesch.
In La Jolla.
Because I'm smooth like that, I managed to get the price down to $4000 for surgery on both eyes.

Also need a driver for that day.
'Cuz I'm gonna be drugged up.

Volunteering to be my driver that day has it's benefits:
-I'll buy you lunch.
-Get to see me drugged up.
-Get to see the world!
-Get to chillax w/ me for half the day.
-Get to know me better.
-Opportunity to get to "know" me better in the bibilical sense
-'Cuz you can probably take advantage of me while I'm drugged up.
-Should make for a good bedtime story.

Volunteers are welcome and encouraged.
Applications will be submitted and reviewed by a judge panel consisting of me, myself, I, and a stuffed penguin pillow thingy.
Winner'll be announced in the next blog.

So yea, I've had access to pussy in my apartment pretty much from the 2nd day I moved into the apartment.
