The webcam,it's snowing and it looks so pretty,I made those phone calls,Heather might get busted,but at this point it might be a good thing,better than turning up dead.I don't think I ever mentioned the guilt I have for doing the same thing to Amee a few years ago,but I had to worry about Jonathon,he was just a baby,and she would take him from me and threaten me,and then crash for days at a time while he was walking and answerering her phones,could have fell down the stairs or got in the pool,I did what I had to do.I feel bad now.she has a felony,but she really was a shitbag,Heather is one now too,and that poor Alecia,she deserves better.

I'm also thinking that I miss my boyfriend because he's in Georgia right now and I'm going to ramble on about him now. His name is Brian and he's the best thing in my life. For Christmas he got me a ring with my birthstone in it. I love him so much anad I'm slightly worried that he's driving stright to Georgia from Maryland. He'll call when he gets there though.

you know, it's tough sometimes. you don't see your kid for a while, for whatever reason. you feel bad so you start to concoct all these "things" that you can do together (which usually end up costing a couple of hundred bucks). all they really want is to be with you; on almost any terms. a ride in the car or a walk in the park are just fine. besides, most of the things that cost money are so transient. they don't last as long as the memory of a nice long talk filled with compassion, understanding and love.

wondering what to do with all the gee-gaws my mom got me for christmas. She went nuts and totally ignored what I wanted for xmas and got me things like a weird Goldberg action figure/video game (hello goodwill). She did score on a set of Generation X comics, 1-30 or something, plus a box set of an anime series called the Legend of something or other, that involves swords and probably sex.

She did get me a goose down comforter - major score there, makes up for the bizarre knick-knacks.

I also got a scanner from my dad, so once I get a new modem installed in my computer, I can finally get back to work on my webpage.

ask me about christmas and i'll have you talk to the those tireless blind men who've been dropping endless izms about that same proverbial elephant they've been feeling up for years and years...

xmas is like bad juju in sketchy clubs when the bar tab you just plowed through slips the head and homeboy recovers the foul with a ride at the door...

xmas is like finding out that you've still retained the fun and loyalty in friendship you had at 15 with the same twisted screwy motherfuckers at 30.

xmas is like a big fat-assed bonus in your checking account.

xmas is ma and pops alive and kicking like bruce in "enter the dragon", knocking suckas out like they had the five deadly venoms up in their cypher.

you be good, too.

glad to see kato kaelin on "who wants to be a millionaire." it's nice to occasionally be reminded of a savage double murder in the context of a comedy gameshow which benefits charity.

i'm gong to go outside and see if i can hear the square from here. looking foreward to a quiet, peaceful, warm night at home.. i'm going to go eat some pickles, because i love pickles. crunchy kosher dills.

i'm going to miss 2000. i liked writing all those lusty zeroes in my journal. i can still feel it, the zeroes from writing "2000" with a magic marker. tonight is my last chance at writing 2000 into my book. two zero zero zero. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. this has definitely been a year of zeroes.

i'm still sad at having not been at the square for 2000, but i guess i'll survive. i had to work that night, after all, to be sure the universe didn't self-destruct because a bunch of numerologically obsessed radio and television talkshow hosts thought computer programmers were so stupid that we couldn't fix such a frivolous problem. and even if we were smart enough to fix it it was hopeless anyway beause computers have minds of their own and once the new year turned over it would be useless to try and stop them in their brainless drive to destroy the universe.

i remember the new york times headline was "1/1/00" and it looked really weird as a full banner headline.

come to think of it 1/1/01 isn't half bad. 1/1/1 is better. 01/01/01 is probably the best. i think i can keep my zero fetish going by writing 01/01/01 repeatedly tomorrow. or how about 01/01/01! now that's how to bring some excitement to the party, throw in an exclamation point. damn, i'm having a good time.
