for in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
Jul 16th
I’ve been having a lot of weird dreams lately.
For someone who get tons of dejavu, dreams actually mean something to me. That thought alone kinda freaks me out, just because of the weirdness (and repetitiveness) of some of these dreams. If you really want more details, you can ask me yourself. I’m too lazy to type it all out here for the world to see. Besides, it could be about YOU (yes, one of the 4 people that reads this) and that would just be plain embarrassing.
More later, writer’s block just set in. And I just noticed that I have a dead (happy now?) pixel on my laptop. =(
next stop, nursing home.

I’m old.
Remember when you were little and you were like, “When am I EVER going to turn 10? I’m only EIGHT! It’s going to be FOREVER!” I wish I could have that feeling again.
Time flies as you get older. I felt like I just turned 21. Granted, it was uneventful, like every other birthday, but it didn’t seem like that long ago. At this rate, I’m going to be receiving stuff from the AARP before I know it.
This was the first year she forgot my birthday. It’s a little heartbreaking, but I’ll get over it. Having one of your best friends out of your life for an extended amount of time kinda sucks.
Regardless, I had a blast this year. Thank YOU, for making it more than just any other day of the year. =)
the dupri school of restaurants.
Jul 13th
Went to Bone’s tonight. Man, that place is good. Had a big ol’ ribeye – bone in! No photo documentation, sadly, since I forgot to bring my camera. Let me just tell you that it was a work of bovine art.
Across the street was Jermaine Dupri’s new business venture, Cafe Dupri. Apparently tonight was the big grand opening and I’m sure all kinds of big names were there to holla at their boy. There was a line outside when we got to dinner, and there was still a line hours later when we left. I read up a little about it online, and it looks like JD wants to serve up some healthy southern food. Healthy southern food? That’s the biggest oxymoron ever. You can’t substitute lard! I will have to give him props for innovation though. No one in their right mind would have ever thought to make healthy southern food. Maybe I should open a vegetarian churrascaria.
But I’m still going to eat there. Why? Because it’s Dupri’s place. And he’s straight up baller. I’m going to stick out so bad it’s not even going to be funny. Holla.
writer’s block.
Jul 10th
I have severe writer’s block.
How severe is it, you may ask. Well, it’s severe enough to the point where I haven’t written anything worthwhile (or with proper grammar) since like 11th grade. Even writing creatively, which I used to be able to do on the fly, is an ordeal that begins strong but fizzes out not even 30 minutes in.
This current work, which I have managed to bang out more than a few pages of, is definitely not one of my better works. The characters are undeveloped. The plot seems like it’s going nowhere. And I think the constant inundation of movies on my brain has made it seem more like a movie script rather than a story/novel. I’d like Kate Beckinsale to play the role of Rebecca, please.
I think I just need a muse.
reminds me of the one i love, deep in the heart of texas

10 places I’d rather be this weekend instead of Texas:
1. SoCal
Davis IM’s me in the middle of the night last night because he’s on California time. He told me all about how it’s been hard getting to the training meetings because he’s been surfing all freakin day. The part about how the beaches are blanketed with hot college girls didn’t help any.
2. NYC
Mary El is visiting Abi there this weekend. I’ve never been to NYC when it hasn’t been freezing. There’s always something to do there.
3. ATL
Yeah, I’d rather be at work. So what? Just goes to show how sad Texas makes me. Besides, I would have wanted to throw a big BBQ or something. Maybe go see fireworks. Maybe even read a book. Okay, that’s probably pushing it.
4. On a cruise
I haven’t been on one in like 7 years and that was with my family. I want to go on a cruise with a whole bunch of friends, eat lots of good food, get plastered every night, and cause general ruckus on international waters. Now THAT’S my idea of fun.
5. Space
I’ve never been. I hear it’s pretty nice out there. Granted, it’s a little dark, and the whole lack of gravity thing is a little inconvenient, but come on. It’s space. People have wanted to live in space for eternity. It’s like the West Beverly Hills of the future.
6. Vancouver
I love Vancouver. What a great city. Fresh fruits and vegetables, good restaurants, nice weather. I’d rather be in Vancouver on any given weekend.
7. Iraqi Detainment Camp
Compared to sitting at home being bored out of my skull, I think I would rather be a detainee with pertinent information that people trained to inflict pain would be trying to get out of me. At least there I’ve got someone to talk to.
8. Europe
Sure it’s hot, expensive, and full of people that run around squawking like chickens with their heads cut off. But I’ve never really traveled Europe. I think mainly I’d like to go to Italy. Maybe do a French cooking class in Paris. Get trashed in Amsterdam. Okay, honestly, I just want to relive Eurotrip.
9. Antartica
Have you SEEN the weather in Dallas this weekend? Some ovens actually can heat up to that temperature. Standing rib roast? No problem. I’ll just put it in my backyard for a couple hours. Add a few strategically placed mirrors and you’ve got yourself a broiler.
10. Puerto Vallarta
White sand, blue water, and hotties from all over the world flock here. How do you say no? Just chillin on the beach, the sound of clinking Corona bottles served by a gorgeous Mexican girl named Elena reverberating through the air, and laughing away all the cares of the world with your friends.
