What a crazy couple of weeks!!!!!!!
Halloween was great. I hope to have pictures here soon. I was a vampiress and I think I looked pretty good. Grant was a Vampire and we won a $20 bar tab at Hollywood Alley. That was pretty cool.
The Diamondbacks won the world series, and that was awesome. What a great series it was.
Other than that, I have been moving and moving and moving. I am finally just about settled in my new place. It is a little tiny apartment that I will be staying at for a little while until I buy my house (hopefully in February). It is crazy living in an apartment after living in a big house, but it is actually quite nice and all of my neighbors are wonderful.
I think that is all for now.
Peace.

We had a wonderful weekend. Janet came out from Las Vegas for a visit. We made an incredible dinner on Saturday night that consisted of baked salmon, green bean casserole, angel hair pasta in alfredo sauce with shrimp, and a bottle of white wine. Mark came up from Yuma because he had to bring one of the guys to the airport, so he stopped by and was able to enjoy the meal with us. It was all very nice.

On Sunday, we woke up bright and early, had Dunkin Donuts and then hit the road headed for Sedona. We stopped and saw Montezuma Castle, drove through Sedona, took a bunch of pictures and had a wonderful meal. Then Janet and JR and Devon headed back to Vegas, and Jacob, Lucas and I headed back to Phoenix.

If you have not been to my poetry page lately, check it out. I found myself being in a weird space tonight. I wanted to write poetry. I have been wanting to for a while, but all I end up with is a bunch of scraps of scribble. I have been quite uninspired for a couple years. It goes through phases and I realize that and I am thinking that I am feeling it come around again. So, I was reading my older stuff and realized how ugly those pages are and difficult to navigate. So, of course, my left lobe took over and I started to code. I have that shirt that says CODE POET, however, I am thinking that the phrase was not intended to be a label for someone who creates code for dynamic display of their poetry. Hmmmph! Oh well, so I did not write a new poem, but my poetry page is looking better and easier to navigate.

I was digging the cool shapes that are formed by centering my poems. Kind of like ink blots. hehhehe.

Hello. It is October 1st. Halloween is just around the corner. Those of you, who read my thoughts daily should drop me a line now and then and let me know who you are.

Ok, with that said, I am ready to start this month off right. September was quite a crazy month for all of us. I am not sure how it is all going to pan out now or how it is going to affect us all, but the way I see it, it is important to move forward and continue to strive for the positive and for our goals.
My goal is to buy a house. I want to buy a house so very badly. It is going to be difficult for me because I struggled so hard during college and left a trail that indicates how difficult it was. I have a goal, tho, and I have a plan.

It is going to be at least four months from now, so at the moment, I am looking for a new roommate. The girl that was here became pregnant and moved in with her boyfriend. Congrats to Melissa and Tom.

So, now I have an empty room for rent and if you are in the Phoenix area and need a room to rent in a really cool house with a pool and a really fun roommate (me!) let me know. And even if you do not need a room, throw some words in my inbox. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I sat out back, in my underwear, and watched the lightning.  I love lightning in Arizona.  It is soooo
cool.  That was one thing that I really missed in California.  I think that in the whole 7 years that I
lived there, I saw two lightning storms.  Where I live now, there is always lightning spidering
sideways across the sky, and it is soooo coool.

So, I am very excited about this girl moving in.  She is going to be moving in about a week or so.  It will be so great to have someone around to talk to and swim in the pool with and watch late night movies with and stuff.  Hopefully it all works out.  She and I are going out together tomorrow night to sort of break the ice and stuff.

This Sunday is my last hurrah.  I cannot wait.  I have been planning it for a couple weeks now.  Not sure who is going to be there, but I will be on stage, doing what I love to do while Zeppelin is playing for 2 hours.  It is going to be great.  I will definitely let you know how it goes.

It is 2am and, once again, I cannot sleep.  Sometimes I wish it were not so difficult for my thoughts to stop and allow me to rest.  I had a nice day.  Hung out at the pool all day.  Drank some beer, had some giggles.  The moon is so bright over my pool right now.

There is a bird nest, lying on the ground in my back yard.  And next to it, there are some broken eggs.  Pretty sad.  I suppose it is the circle of life, and some creature got to have a pretty good dinner on those egg guts.  But what is really amazing is that I look at that nest and some bird put it together with pieces of grass and straw and stuff and wove it all into a nice nest with its beak and claws and it is really pretty cool.

I had a pretty good day today.  Nice and relaxing.  I did a lot of swimming in my pool.  Drank some beer.  Some friends stopped by and shared their thoughts about life and love and whatever.  I met a girl today.  She came by the house.  She is going to rent my spare bedroom.  She seems extremely nice and wonderful.  It will be nice to have the company.  I have been somewhat lonely lately.  It is amazing how I can be surrounded by people and still feel alone.  I wish I could figure out where all of this emotion has come from.  I am not used to it.  I feel like such a girl.  I have never so clearly felt the beating of my heart before.  Wish I knew what was going on with me.  I had it all under control, and now my emotions are taking over and I am afraid to just go with it cuz I do not quite know what to expect.  I am just going to lay low for a while and see what happens I guess.

212 of us worked the NSync show last night. Our job was to tear down the set after the concert. It was fun. Unbelievable. Well, first of all, we were all standing there watching the concert. I am not really into NSync, but they do a pretty amazing show. Then, when they were doing the encore, a bunch of us were standing behind the stage, waiting for them to be finished. I could see their feet dancing around right in front of me. Then they ended their encore, got off the stage, and we all began tearing down the sound and the lights and everything. Amazing to see the whole process that goes into tearing down the staging set. Amazing how much muscle power is required for the whole thing. I was truly impressed with the whole group of people who had one common goal in mind and the organization involved. Very cool. Rhino Staging rocks!!!!!
