One of these days I'm going to ______.
Just watch me.

Poetry: Found Poem
A Vision of Now
The future is simply a place we imagine.
Bombs can be dropped,
Cities destroyed,
But motives always remain fictions.
Hogwash!
Warming!
Everybody gives you content:
The songs go corrupt and become propoganda
and valor descends to shock and awe.
Men with guns stand around them.
Screams slash the blue sky and it weeps blood,
As they violate all borders and make love
in the murderously dry air of early summer.
I realize their eyes are not blank.
Freedom becomes slavery and
this vanished reality is blocked from our view.
The future is simply a place we imagine.
Bombs can be dropped,
Cities destroyed,
But motives always remain fictions.
Hogwash!

Missing in Action.
Occasionally I take strides down memory lane, and I stumble across people that I used to spend basically the majority of my time with at some point in my life and it makes me wonder what they're up to nowadays. It makes me sad how quickly people can fall out of your life when they used to be so involved. I just thought I'd spend some time giving some of you I've thought about recently a little shout out.
As a disclaimer, if you aren't mentioned it doesn't mean I don't miss you or anything like that- it just means I wasn't thinking about you at this moment in time. So please don't take any offense if I don't mention you.
Jenny Barie:
Considering you've always been my best friend regardless our ups and downs throughout the years, it really makes me sad that we don't talk whatsoever anymore. I hate that the only way I know what's going on in your life is via fb; the mere fact that I have to resort to fb creeping on your profile to see what you're up to is down right depressing. I know somewhere down the road we just happened to drift apart this last year or two, and I regret that either of us allowed that to happen. I know they say you take different paths in life, but I guess I just figured I'd always have my jboo with me until I was an old fart- I figured we'd be old farts together, watching Grandma's Boy or Sailor Moon together. Now that you're up in Bay City it makes it even harder to rekindle our friendship, but I'm hoping sooner than later we'll move over whatever hump that's in our way and be jboo and kk again.
The Minority Triangle (Anthony Zamora and Chris Douglas):
Okay, so I realize that we still pretty much talk to each other and we haven't lost touch per say like one would think, but I still miss you two. Basically I wish I was a lot closer with you both like it was back when. I mean, for pete's sake, you two are going to be my ballabees if I ever get married, so realistically we really can't fall that much out of contact with one another- but still, I wish we talked and hung out more. We're the minority triangle, if we don't have all three of us, then we're incomplete yaano?
Hannah Godfrey:
It's a sad thought that the Asian Invasion doesn't keep in contact anymore. I know we've had our rough patches over the years, and most recently we were "rekindling" through a rough patch before you went off to the Navy; I feel like we didn't really get back close like we had been before you left. I think the whole ordeal was purely a misunderstanding, which usually they tend to be, and I hope that when you're home on leave or have some R&R we can sit down and catch up. For God's sake, you're my cuz! It's an understatement to say I miss you.
Brooke Klein:
You're another person I have to fb creep to follow the daily happenings in your life today, and it makes me sad. For a while there we were pretty much inseparable, and then one day- 'poof' and we're practically strangers. I think you were the one who always used to say that things happen for a reason, and I'm sure you're right- I just don't know what the reason was for us to not be bffs anymore was... frown face. I was looking through photos I have trying to decide which one I wanted to put up here and it made me laugh because of the trillions upon trillions of photo shoots we did it makes it a difficult choice. I know today you're some super sweet flight attendant, but maybe when you're grounded and in Michigan we can catch up over Qdouba?
Josh Williams and Mike Collar:
Josh Williams, you live less than five minutes away from me now and I dislike that the only time I see you is when I am in Clarkston and I order pizza from Happys. That being said, it needs to be changed. One of these days I'm debating just coming over, but I'm not 100% on the house, so I don't want to accidently go to the wrong one and yell about not seeing you in forever to the wrong person, because that wouldn't be very nice. Mike Collar, you on the other hand aren't even in the state of Michigan (at least I don't think so... you are still in DC aren't you?) so if that's the case then you have a better reason for us not talking. However, I wish we still kept in touch, since I miss your face. So be a good kid, and Colla Holla sometime to the little asian, won't ya?

Cleaning Up.
I'm going to boast a little here, and say that I think him and I clean up pretty well. Leave it to an event like a wedding to bring out the best not only in the bride and groom, but the guests as well (Fitz and myself of course!) I've got to give a shout out to my little sister Kristin for doing an amazing job on my hair; if it weren't for her it would have been my normal straight style that I always wear, so again, KUDOS and thanks to the little one. I'd also like to thank Shaun T and his INSANITY program for taking the chunky outta my munky and helping me reform this body of mine closer to a skinny minnie. I've still got two weeks left, but for the wedding's sake I was in the shape I hoped to be. Last but not least, I'm going to leave you with this:
ASIAN FACE!!
You didn't seriously think we could go a whole day without throwing out the asian face, did you?

Pooter-Bootys.
Lately I've been missing Roxy quite a bit. This will be our first Christmas since we got her in '96 without her. I think I've missed her more than normal lately because we just recently got a new dog named Rilee and it's hard to adjust to it. It's only about a year old and it's been a bit obnoxious because it isn't trained and gives you an "idiot" sort of look if you tell it no. Anyway, it just makes me miss Roxy more because you wish that new dog was like your old dog... and that just doesn't happen. I think there is a saying that you can't replace a well-trained dog, or the best dog; something along those lines, and I think the saying is right. It's funny how much of an impact a dog can make on your life, and how you really don't realize it until they are gone that they're just as important as a person in some ways. Sometimes my Dad slips up and calls our dog Rachel by Roxy's nicknames and I tell him that there was only one Pooters and she's watching over us from dog heaven now. I believe in reincarnation, and I hope one day I have a dog just like Roxy, if not her in another dog's body. I just wish Roxy didn't have to grow old so quickly and she was still with us today, even if in her last years she was a grouchy poochie. I tell Fitz that he would have loved Roxy in her young days; he only knew her in her old days and didn't attach to her that much because of her stinky potty butt and her grouchiness. He has a lab named Max who is fat and lazy, but has a quirky personality like Roxy did when she was younger so he reminds me of her. Someday I will have a dog just like Roxy, but until then, Max and me will "shake it up" together and dance in Roxy's memory. In honor of the holidays, here's a favorite Santa Poochies picture of Roxy.

JACK3D INSANITY.
Today I finally went to GNC and bought myself OxyELITE Pro and JACK3D to boost my workout. I started month two of Insanity again (took a week off... boo slacker!) and I am amazed at the increase in my workout performance! Usually I take quite a bit of quick breaks during my insanity workout, but with JACK3D I hardly took any (just a quick breather if anything) and I was able to do certain workout moves that normally I wasn't able to do. It seemed as if I was gliding through today's workout, which usually is a pretty tough workout. I also tried OxyELITE today, and I noticed I had more energy (not jittery) and I wasn't hungry every ten seconds. I've tried other dietary supplement products before like Hydroxycut, and while I thought that curved my appetite, OxyELITE Pro does an even better job. Hydroxycut made me jittery too, where OxyELITE doesn't. I know it's only my first day, but I'm thinking I'm going to have a good relationship with these two. Look out Shaun T... you're not going to be the only one smiling because they love it.
