You know, every year during this season I forget how much I hate having to work so much.
Matt, that thing I said I’d do for you will have to wait for Saturday. I’ve been absolutely booked solid with work, it’s not even funny.
That having been said, I’m off to do a drunk movie review of Step Up 2 The Streets!
It’s going to be legendary.
This is a follow-up to this post: https://missedmanners.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/my-global-initiative-for-2008/
A while ago I went out west to visit my best friend. She lives in Los Gatos, California. Apparently if you live within eight hours of San Francisco you can tell everyone that you live there. Kind of like how people who live in Jersey put down New York, NY as their network on Facebook. Which annoys me to no end. You live in Bergen County for the sake of Pete, not the Upper Upper West West side.
Anyway, when I was out there hanging out I decided this was a perfect chance to put my new Global Initiative into action. If you don’t feel like clicking the link above and reading through it here’s a tl;dr summary for you:
People who take pictures in front of landmarks are boring nuisances.
I’m of the mind that to be called boring is the worst insult imaginable. I allocate the b-word more bile than the c-word, d-word and especially the e-word (egret, for example, you are a dirty egretfucker). Boring people are a drain on society and moreover, my time.
So here are my pictures from my trip out west.
This is a picture of pointing in the general direction of Alcatraz.
This is a picture of me looking away from, but thinking about, the Golden Gate Bridge.
This is a picture of the garbage can at the bottom of Lombard Street.
This is me contemplating the Lonely Cyprus near Pebble Beach. I am wearing only one shoe (not pictured).
And finally, this is a picture of me at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, pretending to be a fish.
Well, another winter, another long unexplained absence. Sorry, y’all. Been crazy busy doing the following:
Annnnnnyway, before I get back into the swing of things I figured I’d respond to some of your more serious inquiries:
I think his head filled up and fell off or he forgot about us all..

My annual sinus infection was actually mercifully brief this year. I attribute this to daily nasal irrigation, ephedrine, meth, working out and butt sex. Thanks for that, Keith.
i heard he’s taken up with a one armed vietnamese hooker and has been holed up for the last three weeks… he should need to come up for air soon… 
Comment by sunshine — February 18, 2008:p Lop Sang is not a hooker, she’s a sherpa.
dude, we’re starting to worry. after heath ledger, there’s talk that a barbituate fueled bender has taken you from us…I was so looking forward to another drunken movie review
Comment by Matt K — February 21, 2008I am doing a drunk movie review this week. I promise. 😀
Not taking antibiotics is the best thing to do. My mom pops them like candy, and probably has an huge immunity to them now. What with all the “super bugs” going around as well, it’s best just to let things run their course unless it’s really bad.
Comment by slyparadox — February 24, 2008Exactly. I do everything in my power to try to not have to take antibiotics, for the reason stated in my post below, among other things. I’ve exhausted every single homeopathic remedy and surprisingly, when put together, they DO work. Though I smell like lemongrass, garlic and baby formula for most of every February.
Nah, he’s just lying around in some drunken stupor with what he thinks is a woman. When he wakes up in a week or two, he’ll realize she has an adams apple. Poor Dave. I almost feel sorry for him now.

There are a few ladies I know that might be a little upset by that. No way would they let me sleep for a whole week.
Anyway, sorry for the big chill, had a ton of shit to get done, which, surprise surprise, is DONE! 😀 Thanks for all the well wishes, Ask Daves! and other notes.
