Paul, you look umm... "special" in that Blockbuster picture. Enjoy fingerpainting class tomorrow, won't you?PS Please don't eat my skin.
PPS I have an equally retarded picture of me hugging Grimace, but alas, I cannot locate it. Ho-hum.
PPPS I am back from my long absense with a shiny new paintjob. I was formerly mertle/engomerf many moons ago. WOWZERS! Hi kiddos who are still lurking.

Since this seems to be the picture thread...I'll repost this here... Caitlyn Anne @ 6 months
...as for talking...well...here we go:
Things have been busy (as usual)...although work has been kinda dead...I find myself doing lots of reasearch at work...here's the thing...I wanna buy a house...right now I'm renting a pretty sweet 4 bedroom and my brother and nephew are living with us (Caitlyn, Aimée and I)...while the place is nice and the living situation is pretty good I'd prefer not to be throwing cash away on rent...I'd rather sink the money I don't have into a house so I can build equity on it and eventually make a buck or two off of it...so anyway...I've been researching homes and loans and all this other shit lately...not to mention that I want to do a dedicated theater room if/when we do get our own pad (the landlords won't really let us do any "modifications" to the house we live in now... Fuck...I just realized how "grown up" I sound...shit seems like just yesterday when I was driving 8 hours across the state to see bands play
now I'm talking home equity and shit...ACK!...to top it all off I'm hitting a milestone birthday in September...  Such is life I suppose... Anyhow...Caitlyn will be 8 months old on the 7th...she's totally fun to just sit and stare at for hours...she'll do stuff like tumble all over the floor with her toys and then when she sits up she'll clap for herself...it's hilariously cute  ...I've taken at least five pictures of her every day since her birth...I figure I'll do that for the first year then maybe taper it off to every other day or something...what I really need to do is shoot some more video of her now that she's semi-mobile... On a totally unrelated note, I've been addicted to buying movies lately...my "collection" has grown from about 75 (give or take a few) at the beginning of the year to over 225 now...crap that's a lot of movies (and money :eek  ...but now that I have a modest little home theater set up I find that they're really more enjoyable to watch at home as opposed to going out and spending like $40 for one movie at the theater ($40 = tickets, popcorn, candy, etc.)...not to mention that I don't have to expose my child to the fucking unwashed masses that tend to go to the movies at the exact same time I do...fucking bastards... ...anyway...I've rambled long enough for one post...toodles...for now...

Aaw! Jody wants to start a family too! And RJ's discussion of buying a home for his family makes me oddly happy.In addition to the dream/ nightmare discussion, I had a dream that I was on TRL with A New Found Glory. Yea. Nightmare all right. But I was like running around, swimming, and competing with this other chick gain the title of *DIEHARD* NFG fan. Yes. I know. HORRIBLE. Anyway. It turned way nightmarish when we ran onto this spaceship like setting.. and this super hot guy turned into a wicked evil monster that looked like a buffalo. Somehow we killed that. And everything was back to super happy TRL mode. And then me and the chick called a truce, and no one really won. Why does Paul's name tag say "When"? I took 6 weeks of summer school.. and that was basically hell. My classical sociology professor was a grade A asshole who READ his lectures in class and laughed and said no when we nicely asked him if he would write a study guide for the upcoming cumulative final. I nearly had a nervous breakdown and I was hurting myself because of it. Apparently, I was rubbing my temples a lot with my fingers to ease the stress. But my nails were long, thus digging into the skin on the side of my head. Skin was broken, and a little blood was shed. I freaked out even more when I realized what I was doing. Not surprisingly, once I got out of summer school, I became a lot better. I mostly sit around at home and watch a lot of tv. I've taken a strong liking to the cartoon "Spongebob Squarepants." I also really liked that show "Sorority Life" on MTV. But I haven't seen it on TV recently. I wonder what happened to it. It was great watching a bunch of drunken whores yell about EVERYTHING. Such stupids. But so entertaining. Ok. I am done! Bye! --Christy

holy crap... everyone is growing up, going to university and working and buying houses and everything! whatever happened to the days when all we would talk about is "i've seen x band more times that you!" and "i met blah blah from blah" and all that other crazy teenage stuff...oh the fun times! but yeah. i've been working my ass off at work, and not getting too far. hopefully it will soon pay off. i'm living with my parents again for the meantime, to save money for my trip away in october to europe. i'm travelling 3 and a half, almost 4 hours a day (getting up at 5am, getting home at 9pm) to get to work, then 4 hours back. it's insane. but i love my work, so it's all good. i might be going to university next year or something to do a music course. computers bore me at the moment. i think it's time to diversify a litte. i'm also starting to get into cycling again, and i'm getting rather fit - which makes me happy. there is still the sagas of girls and stuff. well. one girl. dizaam. but there's just something stopping me doing anything about it, even though i'm crazy about her. meh. i'll see what happens. i've already started planning my next overseas trip. it'll probably be to the united states. i'm thinking of just going up and down the west coast... or something... in the summer (your summer, not mine). maybe next year, or the year after i'll do that. i want to have been to every continent by 30. hope so! (pictures soon - work now).

this place got chatty quick. anyway....i graduated college in may and am too feeling the pains of older-ness. let me tell you, i hate it now. i thought i had a decent degree from a decent school, but i'm getting nowhere in terms of a real job hunt. i'm waiting tables full time, which isn't the worst thing, but it doesn't cut it in the least. i have to pay health care, which i NEED, out of pocket. i also need a car which i can't really afford unless i find something for $7,000 or less, and i'd like something that'll last a while. so in all, these things have been a terrible stress and had me collapsing recently, but i'm keeping it together. me and my girlfriend recently hit a year, which is cool, and things are great. she's already successful, as a fully licensed pharmacist. at least she sympathizes. that's the good part of each day. and i did see Poison again this summer, which was a total rockin good time. keeps me healthy.

WHOA. Big news, big news indeed... Just a little story for you, to kind put a certain perspective on things... So Aimée works with this guy, Anthony...well he got married just about two years ago...he and his wife had not planned on having kids for another few years...like until they'd been married for five years or something (or so he thought)...it turns out that she stops taking the pill, she gets pregnant and to make a long story short, they now have a two month old baby boy now...good news right, everyones peachy right?...wrong...turns out Anthony "isn't ready" to have a kid...he feels resentment toward his wife and the kid now for "taking away" his attention...he basically doesn't get to be the baby anymore...so now he's all pouty and shit, his wife is beginning to resent him for "not being there for her" during her pregnancy and you know who's really getting the shaft?...the kid...and he didn't ask for any of this shit...fucked up yo. I know it's all complicated and stressfull Paul, but all I can say is make the most of it...it might not be ideal and I'm sure it wasn't planned or expected, but it can still be a great thing...just depends on how you handle it...Y'know, my brother and his ex-wife divorced when my nephew was four...and as much as they argued and were at each other's throats, they always put the kid first...now that they're actually becoming friends again it's even that much easier...I guess all I'm saying is that despite the situation, always keep the kid's best interest in mind...if you do everything will work out OK... Resign yourself to the fact that it's gonna happen...whether you're ready or not...so just be ready...and have fun with it... I you need to talk about any of it, you know where to find me...

It does suck that Im losing my childhood I guess, but Im old now (22) and that Milicolin song just keeps playing and playing and.. gasp! sigh. at least i have my charming Bored to keep coming back to.. for now..

Wow Paul, i can't believe you are going to be a dad...thats intense...I have no idea what it must be like for you, since i am not even close to becoming a mother...but try to make it as joyous an event as possible...and as RJ said, put the child first...i mean my parents are divorced...and they had a "good" divorce (whatever that means)....i still get to see my dad whenever i want, and my parents are still friends...even though our relationship is healthy, it still hurts when i think about how everyone elses parents are together...whatever you do, make sure that you and the mother are always there for the child first...then solve any differences, petty or not....back to the dream part of this topic... When i was a child, my grandfather was really sick...i was too young to remember him when he wasn't sick...So recently i found out that this dream that i had when i was younger, was just that...a dream. I have lived my life thinking that it was real...that it actually happened...and i have lived with the guilt of this...so here it goes.
- My sick grandfather was at my house, and it was dinner time..so i decided to help him walk up the flight of stairs...he had his walker thing, and we were both standing on the same step...and somehow i made him fall down the stairs (not on purpose...but i just got in the way)....he smashed his head and he couldn't really move...so they put a pillow under his head...and then my dad and my uncles came and took him away...
and that was the dream...and i have always thought that i made him even more sick than he already was...it was quite upsetting.

HOLY SHIT BALLS ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR! We are getting old, or mature, or, fuck I don't know? Sophisticated? Becoming grow-ups? I do not know. All I do know is that I still feel the same, just more things to do.Jody, you are pregnant?! Congrats. Why did you not at least e-mail me? That is so fucking cool. Is Scott pretty happy too? I am so insanely happy for you, as I know you have been trying. RJ, home ownership is a fucked up thing. It is amazing and weird and fun and HUGE. I have owned my house for almost 5 years now. Lots of equity. It's pretty damn neat to know that i can sell my house and have $60,000 cash money in my pocket. At the same time, if anything goes wrong, I am responsible for fixing it. Which includes...
Re-modeling the kitchen, upgrading the electrical, plumbing, windows, gutters, siding, landscaping etc... Not fun, but then again, it is my house! Paul, the whole idea of being a dad is fucked up and scary. Myself, I don't ever think I will be ready... I know you will shoulder the responsibility, and in truth be a wonderful father... As for me...
Lisa has officially moved into my house. She came to visit on the 26th of July and just never left. The talk of marriage is there, but not for a year or so. It will be a Vegas wedding. There will be an elvis there. Anyone who wants to come is invited, anyone who doesn't can stay home... Life is very happy for me right now, and WOW, I never ever thought I would ever think the things I think about now.
Wait a minute, did I grow up or something?
