TAXES AHOY.

EX'S.

Yesterday
I had to fill out the ol' Business Return of Tangible Personal Property,
Machinery, and Tools. You know, same-old same-old. 'Nother day at the office.
What. The.
Hell?
This was just for Fairfax City taxes. I haven't even thought
about state or federal taxes on my business yet. Jeez, I had to go back
and figure out the depreciated value on my friggin' desk chair, for
crying out loud. Obviously, I'll need to hire someone to do my
taxes this year. My personal taxes are a snap, but this small business
shit may be beyond me.

Random
thinking...
I always used to pride myself on the fact that I remained
friends with all of my ex-girlfriends (uh, "all" doesn't imply a
truckload of ex's). But in reality, how many of them do I consider friends
now? Well, I only talk to one or two of them every once in a great while
and we're friendly, but they're not really friends, in the true sense of
the word. And as for the rest, I don't
even know where they are or what they're doing. I've lost track long ago. So I'd have to say that I'm not friends with any of them.
Huh. I guess I'm not as cool and loveable of a guy as I thought I was.
Alright, I'd better stop before Beth starts wondering why the hell
I'm thinking about my ex's...

This
email had no link attached to it and wasn't trying to sell me anything.
Came from a .co.uk address. No freakin' idea.
Поздравляем
Вас с Новым годом
и
рождеством!
Веселого
и
праздничного
настроения, Вам и вашим
близким!

Beth and I finally started watching "24" this season. We've
been meaning to catch on to it, but always seemed to miss it. We watched
the two-hour season premier on Sunday (two back-to-back episodes) and
then the two-hour thingy on Monday (same back-to-back deal).
And the verdict? Well, after 4 episodes, I'm not sure if I'm going to continue watching it.
I have a couple of issues.
First, I don't like any of
the characters. On any show I need at least ONE character that I either
identify with or like. So far, bubkas. All of the characters kind of
annoy me. I thought I was gonna like that blonde chickie, but she's too
whiney and scowls way too much.
Second, I don't find the plot plausible. I know, I know, it's not
meant to be a true story. They're supposed to take some liberties
in the name of Gripping Drama. But I'm having problems with the logic
and the reality of it all. I dunno, I'm just not buying it.
I'll give it another week or two, though. Then I'm done with it.

TRANSLATION.

One
Million United States Dollars, Taxes Ahoy, Ho Ho Ho-Ski, 24, Polar
Bear, Translation, Ex's, and Get Out Wino. |

("We congratulate you happy New Year and Christmas! Merry and holiday mood, to you and by your close one!")
|
|
|
GET OUT WINO.
|
POLAR BEAR.
|
| Fuck.
Softball season better get here soon. I'm drinking way too much wine.
Every stinkin' night. I need me some activities.

Speaking of TV shows, "Lost" is one of my new favorites. I
seriously dig it (well, except for last week's stupid 45-minute
hallucination scene). And I know what you're going to say: "You
think '24' isn't realistic, but you have no problem with a show about a
monster and a polar bear on a tropical island and a paraplegic who is
suddenly able to walk after a plane crash?"
Hey, you have your reality and I have mine.
Don't confuse the two.
