Really cold. It's hard to describe why I love the bitter cold so much. There really is something about it that reminds you to stay ALIVE. The snow sounds different, almost a squeek when you walk on it. When you get in the car, the seat has no give. The metal springs are rock solid. Then you turn the key and pray......start. I still haven't got my winter coat out yet. Sunday night should be 25 to 30 below and that warrants it. I forgot to add my favorite sensation, warm and cuddly under quilts made by your ancestors. the wind pummeling the house. That feels like magic.

So I've been busy. I haven't blogged for awhile so my little name won't be highlighted and no one will read this. Thats freedom! I'm deep in the renovation process. New bathroom, big screen theater room and a bar. I'll invite you to the party. I'm trying to have it done by oscar night so I can watch my Jennifer Hudson on a screen worthy of her talent.

Speaking of which, someone at work asked me why us gay boys are so infatuated with girls like Jennifer. There is a power that comes from being told "you don't have it, you are too different" and then just standing up and kicking ass! Or at the very least trying. I hope she is soaking a little of this ride up. When she sings I feel all tingly in my toes.

And lastly but very not leastly...HAPPY BIRTHDAY C-MAN. Although you know I worry about how much of your heart you invest in the commings and goings of my fellow miscreants, it would not be N.N. without you. May your comming year be filled with the love and satisfaction you crave and deserve. And more COCK COCK COCK (wheres LUNNA when you need her?)

Leaving you with that crass verbosity

Yes!!! Finally some good old fashioned winter! Below zero just the way I like it. Going to a Bar B Que tonight (damn forgot limes for the shrimp...hits head) If it stays this cold I may have to get my coat out.
I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend.
Live it like it might be your last!

On the news tonight, the report wasn't about someone's truck falling thru the ice......Oh no.....it was about how large the fine was if you leave it there for more than 30 days.

There's your sign

I had anything interesting to say. The new year is damn boring. I think I am depressed about the general lack of snow. I love cross country skiing and haven't been able to do it for the last few years for health reasons. Well thats all cleared up and now BROWN GROUND! I waxed my skis just for voodoo like reasons.

I've been biting my tongue for awhile about this. Why do people post so many pictures of the same thing? I'm happy for the gentleman who can put 2 liter bottles up his ass. So happy. Why does he think this is interesting? I know I've been down this useless road before....I'll shut up now.

U.S. politicians get along so well at funerals. I sometimes wonder what they think their job is.

All in all i thought todays service was a lovely affair. Remind me to tell you my Henry Kissinger story.

I snapped this when I was home for Christmas. It's funny about ice...you really can't capture the pure sparkly brillance. I feel that way about a lot of my N.N. friends also. We sometimes only see little sparkles from them. I know that they shine with a true white radiance deep inside.

My hope for all of you is that you look for opportunities to shine. It's there....I know it!

Lotsa N'Ners will find new cameras under the tree! Then we all get to enjoy santas bounty.
I hope you are able to be close to those you love. Me? I'm going to see Dreamgirls. I know it can't live up to the play (yes, I'm old enough to have seen it!) But a boy can dream...

I don't know about you all...but the holidays are an ongoing spiral of conflicting emotion. I can't make it thru the evening news without a little Boo Hoo. Things that would just run off my back affect me greatly. I am glad though, too feel strongly is a little more proof that your alive.
I wish the best for you all this upcomming year. This last year wasn't all I'd hoped it be, but when are they?
Many hours to drive and the sleigh isn't even loaded.

Your's for another year

I've cracked the floodgates. Every year i say "no presents...for anyone!" Then I'm out helping a friend with his shopping and I see the kitchen aid stand mixer I've wanted since God was a baby.
Well....of course it's in my kitchen right now.

So the creaky wallet has been opened. The question is.....

Have you been naughty....or NAUGHTY!

It'll be a long time till I eat lasagne again (see last message) I got hit with a particularly bad flu friday night. So...well...I'll say no more. Only two pieces of that GIANT pan got eaten.

I was so weak on sat. that i didn't perv One pic. Now Thats SICK.

I'm so glad i feel better today. I washed the sheets (and myself..yeah!) And I even managed a little bit of chicken soup. I almost feel skinny..... MORE PIC'S! hahah

I couldn't stand to watch most of what was on tv while i was sick. The iron man was on and they looked to be more miserable than I so that was o.k. Then we got to the last half hour and they tell all these heart warming stories of all these people who try so very hard and those who are doing the event for someone else. When the 76 year old nun finished with 1 (yes ONE) min. to spare, I was boo hoo ing like a big baby. I realized I didn't have much fluids to spare so i had to change the chanel.

SO glad to be upright and not wretching!
