the little mermaid

i spent all day debating whether or not to break the cardinal rule of blogging. well actually, there are two cardinal rules to blogging (at least in my book of the cardinal rules of blogging).

one: don't talk about other people's shit, unless you get express, written or verbal consent.

and two: don't talk about women you are together with, dating, or otherwise interested in.

anyways, i was debating on whether or not to break the second rule... and i've decided that i can't do it.

what i will tell you is that i went on a "date" with ariel (read the second part of this post and the second part of this post to get caught up.) and it was great. why is date in quotes? again, i can't break the rule. not this time.

but i will tell that she's beautiful, smart, sweet, outgoing, and she has this sense of humor that is so endearing, i can't really explain. she has this really subtle sarcasm that is so perfect, i have wait for her to finish a sentence before i can determine whether she's telling a joke or being serious. we exchanged a lot of smiles and got along great and i can't wait to see her again... argh. if only...

ah shit. did i just break the rule?

there should be no rules to blogging. be free. express yourself all you want. practice your freedom of speech.

Not to be a ball buster, but I seem to remember somebody practicing freedom of speech with photos a while back .. and I was inclined to load a weapon and grab a shovel as I thought one of my best friends was going to be killed by an ethnic mafia!

Brian James is no fool - keep up the good work and don't ever forgot the cardinal f'ing rule: "leave yourself outs"!

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
