Perhaps A Survey?

Do you want to kiss someone specific right now?
Yes. Her name is Denise.

What is your opinion of school exactly?
It was a huge waste of time, and didn't help me accomplish anything in "the real world." And, the bullies there scarred me for life. So, yeah, I wasn't a big fan of school. College was fun, but also a waste of time.

Have you ever been stalked by anyone?
Yeah. Heh heh. It's kinda strange, and creepy... I guess that's why it's called stalking, though, huh?

What would happen if your best friend(s) dropped you?
I would probably cry for a bit, and be like, "Dude, why did you drop me like that?! Pick me back up!"

What are you having for dinner?
Turkey burgers. Good eatin.'

Do you know someone who is always hungry?
Not at the moment. Ask me again in about 4 weeks.

What do you think of scarves?
It's an irritating skin condition that is embarassing for some, but can be treated with creams such as Dermisil.

What about Ed Hardy?
Who the blue frig is Ed Hardy?! What about him?! What are you getting at?!

Can you count in spanish?
Si, Señor .

Are you comfortable walking down hallways full of people?
I've never been in such a hallway, but I don't see why I wouldn't be comfortable... Unless, like, the walls are caving in around us, or something stupid like that.

Have you bought new clothes lately?
Is April "lately?"

Who did you yell at yesterday and why?
My dad. He was being a butt with my mom.

What ad is on this page?
Something about diarrhea and crackers.

What is playing on your tv right now?
David Letterman.

What color are your nails?
The clear color.

If you could go on vacation for the next month to anywhere in the world with an unlimited budget, where would you go?
A place where Chevettes are still popular.

Did you forget anything today?
Like, every five minutes. I kid you not.

How often do you ignore the phone ringing?
Pretty much every time it rings. It's never for me anyway, so why bother answering it?!

Should you be planning for anyone's birthday?
Heh. Jonathan's.

Could you go a whole year without cursing?
Frig no! I probably could if I applied myself to do so, but I've never had the urge to fill out such an application.

What was the last compliment you received?
This dude at Dairy Queen said that I had nice shoulders, the other day.

What's your favorite thing to do when you're bored?
Brush my teeth.

Are all of your friends virgins?
Probably. They're weird...

What're you wearing right now?
Do you really want to know?

Do you want to see somebody right now?
The Sandman (I'm sleepy...).

When did you last check your phone?
I don't think I've ever checked a phone in my life. Is one *SUPPOSED* to check a phone? For what, like, to see if it's it's still breathing? I don't get it...

Do you have a camera?
Boy, do I ever!

Without saying names, whats one thing about the last person you kissed?
I love her more than life itself.

Don't tell me lies, have you been under the influence in the past 24 hours?
"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies..."

Who was the last person you physically hit?
I don't know, but I'm going to be hitting my dad pretty soon, if he don't quit acting like a monkey.

Do you think things will change in the next few months?
Things always change. Constantly. Forever.

Who was the last person you hugged other than family?
Probably Lou at work. She's a sweet old lady.

Last person you kissed on the lips said that you were the only one they wanted, would you believe them?
Ooooooo!!! Kissing on the *LIPS?!* Wow, that's serious!

Is there a girl that knows everything or almost everything about you?
Yeah, she's my soulmate.

Have you cried this past week?
Came close, but didn't.

Have you told anybody you loved them today and meant it?
So much.

No, she's my soulmate.

It says, "I don't exist."

What does your last sent text say?
It says, "I don't have a texting machine.

She's laying across my back. I'm her couch.

Something you really want right now?
Sleeps. Lots of sleeps.

My soulmate.

What is your favorite thing about being sick?
Nothing.

How many people can you trust with just about everything?
I can't count that low.

Do you think two people can last forever?
It's according to who the two people are. If they're not soul mates, then forget it.

Would it be weird if the last person you kissed called you?
Yeah, because she's sitting right here beside me. I'd be all like, "Dude, you're calling and you're sitting right here beside me!" And she'd be all like, "I know, Homey! Isn't that outrageous?!" And I'd be all like, "Totally!"

Will you regret your next kiss?
No. I brushed my teeth.

If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly what would it be?
The flying thing, hands down. A million bucks would only last so long, and then it'd be gone. You could fly forever once you learn how, and it'd never go away. Know what I'm sayin'?

Is there someone who continuously lets you down?
I tend to not allow people like that into my life anymore.

Is the person you last texted single?
Man, again with this "texting" thing! Am I the only person in the world who doesn't have a cell phone?! Am I the only person in the world with no desire to ever get one?!

do u miss an ex right now?
Like, throwing stuff at her? Throwing apples and things, and then missing, as in not hitting her with them? No. I'm not throwing anything at the moment.

do u think an ex still has feelings for u?
I think she finally got the point, and gave up.

Is It January Already?

Umm... Happy New Year, I suppose. Sorry about the lack of activity. I have a good excuse...

Mom took a turn for the worse during the power outage (which ended up lasting, like, 5 or 6 days). She kept sleeping, and wouldn't wake up. An ambulance took her to the hospital, where we learned that she was bleeding on her brain. A few days later, it was determined that she has at least three tumors on her brain. The doctors said that there was nothing that they could do for her, and that she would die in 2 days to 2 weeks. All of this lovely news came right before Christmas, mind you, so it was not a good Christmas for us. She drifted in and out of this world for a few days, complete with angel sightings, and "the light." Her brain "forgot" how to let her swallow. She went for about a week without eating or drinking anything. She didn't know anyone. Then, on Christmas Day, I believe, as if someone turned on a switch, the bleeding on her brain stopped. She could swallow again, and was starting to stay awake more. We got our Christmas miracle. She hated the hospital, once she finally realized what was going on, and kept begging us to bring her home. The doctors finally agreed, and let her come home on New Year's Eve. She has been slowly improving ever since, much to the surprise of her doctors. Thanks for all the prayers! But, we still need more... Mom can eat good now. She can sit up on the edge of her bed without anyone holding her. She knows everyone (but she does still get a little mixed up sometimes). She can stand up for a couple minutes at a time now, and the nurses even had her walking on her walker yesteday! She has another doctor's appointment on the 28th. We're going to find out if the tumors are still there, and she's going to have her third hormone treatment (to strengthen her bones). She's doing a lot better for the moment. She still has a long way to go.

Our baby will be here in 2-4 weeks. Wow! We're soooo unprepared for it! We don't have a house (but we're getting close, I think). We've got to figure out a way to make this tiny bedroom big enough for three people. We've got to pack some clothes, and stuff. We've got to get his bed ready, etc... It's weird, because time has stood still for us ever since the fire. But, Brandon is not waiting. He's almost here.

Cruel Music is still running smoothly. There was a new WDN cd completed on December 30th. Do you have your copy yet? I've been digitally re-mastering some old, classic, crappy cassette tapes since then. I think "break time" is almost over, and it's about time to start on some new material. A concept album is up next... Big, mean, serious stuff... Ever since 2006, I've tried to do at least one Cruel Music release per month. I don't know if I'll keep that tradition for 2010, or not. I'm kinda leaning more toward taking my time with this concept album, and when it's done then it'll be done... That type of thing... But, then, that kinda scares me at the same time. What if I get lazy, like I always did between 2001 and 2006? Yeah... I don't know... Expect some new Cruel Music sometime toward the end of the month. Heh heh. A new Ultapoop CD is coming soon, too, by the way. The whole fire thing kinda set me back on that stuff...

A lot is going on. Hope all is well your way, wherever you may be.
