From My Twitter:

• 08:09 RIP Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson #

From My Twitter:

• 07:20 @Dhraakellian Perhaps... Perhaps... #
• 07:21 @jordik I disagree with you. Everyone isn't out to get you, so why should you think that? How does living in fear all the time help? #
• 07:22 @Dhraakellian Oh, no doubt. Perhaps we can play it sometime? #
• 16:05 Alex doesn't seem to take anything seriously unless it directly affects him. #

From My Twitter:

• 09:17 I've shown much restraint in not yet killing Alex for his stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance. He's trying my patience, though. We'll see... #
• 09:34 I just realized, though, that I can enjoy some delicious irony when Jimmie cancels his special pizza, and I can throw his words back at him. #
• 11:10 Orange juice + mouth sore = Owwwww!!! #

From My Twitter:

• 09:19 wonders why none of the idiots here can file anything right #

From My Twitter:

• 09:14 Paranoia is not a positive trait, despite what some people think. #

From My Twitter:

• 18:22 Patience, young padawan... #

From My Twitter:

• 09:51 The 1/0 webcomic is so original, unique, and compelling, I stayed up to 4 AM reading all 1000 strips. ping.fm/j3J9F #
• 10:45 thought he had a system down for understanding inferiors, but it seems he was wrong. #
• 11:54 has a schizophrenic phone battery that can't decide whether to be charged or not. #

From My Twitter:

• 09:00 realizes that he pities most of the world. #
• 09:49 is pissed off that a fly landed on his French toast, causing him to throw that big piece away. #
• 10:26 How long, Lord? How long? Suffering is supposed to build character, but all this is building in me is bitterness and cynicism. #

From My Twitter:

• 11:07 notes that there are flies galore today. One's even stuck inside the vending machine. Been trying to get him out. #
• 15:01 wonders why people don't understand that you don't HAVE to stick up for your family, especially when your family does stupid things. #

From My Twitter:

• 17:44 is at the bowling alley finding out he's a terrible bowler. #
• 19:35 is at the idiot McDonald's #

From My Twitter:

• 10:31 is headed to the money convention. #
• 10:57 just sold an error quarter for $30! Woot! #

From My Twitter:

• 18:46 gets really pissed off at people who put pictures of their kids as their profile pictures. It doesn't help me recognize who you are. #
• 23:37 @Dhraakellian Not for the first 2 years. We dog-sat for a family that moved, and their new house couldn't have a fenced yard. (Long story.) #
• 23:38 @Dhraakellian So we ended up keeping her for 15 years until this morning. #

From My Twitter:

• 08:37 I probably said goodbye to my dog Rudy this morning. My parents are taking her to the vet, probably to be put down. She is 17. #
• 11:55 It wasn't a stroke, like we thought, but a tumor. The vet said while she wasn't in pain now, she soon would be, so she was put to sleep. #
• 14:12 can't get Ryan Stiles' "Surgery Hoe-down" out of his head. #
• 14:58 Only when you realize that you are nothing can you truly start becoming something. #

Have a wonderful birthday, dragon_nataku!

Feeling: good

From My Twitter:

• 15:03 is quite hot and has a hurting back #
• 15:57 One thing Alex is good at is faking being sincere. If I didn't know him, I'd swear he was genuine in what he says. #

From My Twitter:

• 14:01 "If we don't want to FIGHT the war, we shouldn't get depressed when we LOSE the war." David Jeremiah #
• 15:54 Alex is upset with me for no good reason again. Is it really MY fault that he's not available when I need him? #

From My Twitter:

• 22:42 just got back from another school get-together. It was kind of fun, but also a little boring. I guess I'm not all into the "social" scene. #
• 13:26 is petting some horses over near David's house. #

From My Twitter:

• 19:14 is at the dinner reconnecting with old school friends #
• 00:24 had fun at dinner, but felt like the odd man out at times, especially when others were talking about their marriages, divorces, and kids. #
