Hmm, what is that, almost six weeks of silence? Amazing.

The sky is a strange bluish gray and the flags in the next parking lot are blowing vigorously - maybe we'll have a hurricane. Maybe the sky always looks like this when it's cloudy at dusk - i wouldn't know cause i'm always working at this time of night.

This morning I threw away $12 in meat because I left them on the counter when I went to work. Did not smell good, actually it smelled quite foul.

Shortly before throwing away said meat - I called the Grand Floridian resort to try to schedule a massage. While being given several transfers and waiting on hold it occurred to me that i had better things to do with my money then spend $100 to have someone push on my back for 50 minutes.

Bose Triport headphones: expensive, but next on my list of big ticket aquisitions. Such a rich sound...mama mia!...

Ok, show of hands - who hates not having a car? (puts hand up) I know i should feel guilty about global warming and pollution and noise and fossil fuels and heat and road rage, but honestly cars are ridiculously awesome. No, take it back...modes of transport...ways to GET ANYWHERE are ridiculously awesome. I would saddle up a burro and ride it at this point. Where does one get a burro? Anyway, if i could find me a crackerjack to give me a burro i would saddle it and ride to that starbucks across the street from the seattle library.

Seattle v. Orlando...Yeah....Orlando wins for rollercoasters and dolphins, but seattle has the knock out punch for atmosphere and lack of tourist families who all wear the same color shirt so they won't lose each other.

Just wrapped up a 21-day stretch with no days off...'Twas tiring, but as jon and i said when we arrived here - we'll follow disney to hell and back. haha, o how little we knew. :) Heard an interesting stat the other day, aprox. 10% of males who work for disney are NOT gay. Obviously an exaggeration, but really that's what it feels like. Two guys at my restaurant have "a fancy" for me...one is a manager...hmmm...this is new...

July 1 - shuttle launch at cape canaveral - be there or be square.

Matt, you officially need to come back to Washington! Galen agrees with me that it just won't be summer without Matt and Trevor at our house. What a shame. 10% huh? At least you know you can beat the other 90% up if need be.
Glad to hear that Disney hasn't killed you yet...

Matty, I stumbled onto your blog via MySpace. I miss you tons. I'm guessing you're not going to come up to Capes for the Men's Conference. Too bad. Well, I will be here next summer if you decide to come then. After that, I don't know when I'll see you! Anyway, I gotta go. Keep in touch... did you get my letter from October/November?!

P.S. Totally agree with the car thing... Chemainus isn't the greatest hang out on a day off!

So, I think that stat excludes custodians, because there aren't any of us that are gay, at least that I know of, although since they wouldn't be hitting on me, I wouldn't neccesarily know.
Hope things are well

p.s. I am lost without my laptop to fill in the password/username for all of my accounts

haha trevor! we rely so heavily upon these crutches... auto-form-fill is our enemy. I too hope all is well with you, Matt and Trevor.

Galen said...
