Alas, the new year approaches and...

I must be going. It is with mixed emotion; I've spent the last week with my sister, my mom and various friends of my sister's circle. She's well regarded and loved; which is one trademark of our family that I share a portion thereof. More specificially I have friends...

There is no better feeling (emotional) than that bond with siblings and relatives when properly nourished over a lifetime. At least, if one is fortunate enough to have the requisite good memories required. (There are those... who unfortunately miss out on this; for one reason or another).

So I will leave Jocelyn, Mom, Molly, Bodie, Sadie and Elliot to their New Years planning and festivities; and return to that center of self-awareness and sometime loathing that the general populace calls Los Angeles.

So be it...

Begins anew a new year. Maybe I will get a job?

One can hope.

May your holiday and New Year be bright and of positive note. may ALL of your memories be worth remembering, retelling and savoring later.

(so I'm an optimist... or is that a pessimist?)

Happy New Year to one and all.

It is a wonderful life...

Just got finished watching James Stewart and Donna Reed with my family. Mom, mom's friend..., my sister Jocelyn, her friend Susie... and sister's three dogs. (A Christmas time tradition)...

I am once again reminded how rich our life is; even when everything is crashing down.

I hope I can keep that thought in the coming days.

perhaps.

School is out...happy Holidays

Hmm... an entire month without posts. Must be a sign...

Finished CSUN finals; turned in all projects (except the one that the other guys are still working on); and getting ready to visit my Sister in Portland, OR.

Now, just got to find work...

Credit Cards --- Get your deal here... RIGHT! (bs)

So I get this call from "Jennifer James" of Citibank/Platinum Card "Protection". They want to send me a "package" to review (which by the way means I have to sign up for!) that will only cost me $0.85 per month of $100 of balance. -0- I decline (I can actually do the math) and she gets really indignant... "why wouldn't I want to have "Protection".
