I salute this woman

Normally I rant about what products and commericials I can't stand. However, this video with the flight attendant from hell going through nicotine withdrawal makes me wish I smoked just so that I could try Nicoderm. The fact that she's hot doesn't hurt this commercial either.

I resolve to be kinder to my liver

Sweet baby Jesus. It's only the 31st and already I'm as hungover as hell. That's what going out with a good friend for 'one drink' [which turned into 3 doubles] will get me.

Happy New Year's to everyone!

When your dreams don't come true

Today it hit me how spectacularly I have failed in life. Everything I set out to accomplish, everything I had hoped would happen - nil, nada, nothing. It's quite spectacular really in its breadth. To many people I'm not a failure at all, and I'm not looking for outside affirmation. But in the ways that I had hoped to succeed: I haven't. Today was discovering the most painful one of all. I'm tired to picking myself up and starting over. I will, but it's such a drag.

However, I do realize that I have succeeded in one area. I had a wonderful dinner with St.Dickeybird tonight and a splendid evening with EarthMother and her kids last night. I am rich in friends. And yes, that does mean something to me.
