Now if only I could find a reason to move south other than all the fun hot men. Oh right now I remember, George Bush has only two years left in office. It'll take at least that long to pack.

You Are an Orange Margarita

At first glance, you are very unique - but deep down you are still quite a traditionalist.
A margarita may be "too fancy" for you, but you'll never turn a free one down.

Beard Yes or No

So some friends have been debating whether I look good with a beard. Anyone with an opinion feel free to post. Be honest but remember I'm fragile so if you must be mean at least be funny while doing it.

Found without knowing I was lost

The internet is a weird and wonderful thing. I am always coming across traces of a past self in places I didn't know I had been. If this was reality surely I'd have lost my wallet in Marakesh and been kidnapped in Abu Dabi by now. But it isn't reality and I can leave my trail of breadcrumbs relatively trouble free to be stumbled upon at some distant future time and place with surprise and intrigue.
Case in point this blog.
I was trying to leave a comment for a very cool cooking blog ( http://jamieandbelle.blogspot.com/ ) and needed to sign in. Just on a whim I entered my standard screen name and password (no I won't tell you here, like I said my internet sign-ups are many and random) lo and behold I was a member and even better I had blog postings.
Finding these was like a time capsule from the me of two years ago. Bad typing and all.
it also made me realize my life hasn't changed all that much. I've been promoted and make more money now and have relatively less problems in my life. But I'm still single and my duality of momentary crisis' seems to continue.

Only now instead of being without money and comics I'm without booze and sex. The important thing now is it's also by choice.
See I'm a catholic, a very lapsed small c catholic but confirmed and all that jazz so occasionally I feel the need to participate in my own special way. This year Ii decided to try giving up casual sex for Lent. Being single it seemed easy enough. If I found someone of substance then it wouldn't be casual either so I had a loophole.
Then I got the flu and didn't drink for the second and third and now fourth weeks of Lent. So I figured why not see if I can go the rest of the way and make it to Easter. Sadly I didn't leave a loophole on this one.
So here I am on a Saturday night home from work at a reasonable time and desperately bored!
See the problems continue... And to quote myself 'Maple gets into big bad trouble when he's bored' only how much trouble can I really find without booze and sex. Anyone know if you can wager money on internet Boggle

24 - 48 Hours to happiness

So at what point does an passing enjoyment turn into an unhealthy addiction? I sit here on a Wednesday afternoon, a quite nice thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in august, waiting in quiet desperation for one or another of my many addictions to come through with a new dose. Now the obvious answer is just go find some internet porn and move on with my life, but its not that simple and that's not the addiction I'm suffering from today. No today is a particularly brutal combination of comic and money withdrawal. Usually I can balance the absence odd one of these with an addition of the other. But since the release schedule of one of my favorite comics ( www.jtbrown.com ) has changed to Thursday and my work schedule has just basically changed for the worse in general, my delicate balance is thrown out of whack. I now find myself lacking in both. I know what your thinking also, boo hoo poor me and normally I'd be the first to agree with you. But I'm bored and that ain't good. Maple guy gets into big bad trouble when he is bored, and no-one wants to see me get into trouble. Trust me it isn't pretty. So what is one to do on a Wednesday in august with little to know money and still no end in sight to the comic drought. Thank goodness for internet boggle!
