Ok, so for a long time I've felt like I should write an entry, I just really haven't felt like it at all. The trouble is what to say now that I have actually sat down to update.

I'm listening to my beatles list right now, I really enjoy it. I can't understand how people could not like the Beatles. It's all just so emotionally triggering, you know? Well, not all of it. But for the most part the Beatles just make me happy.

So as has been noted by poo and bonnie, a plot is currently underway to get both myself and bonnie down to arizona and back. The thing that's really troubling me right now is how this is going to work with bonnie's car. If she has to drive to get to CF then her car is going to be stuck there. The question I run into is how I can get her down to CF without her having to drive. Because she's going to be in the Cities for Christmas with her family obviously. I'm thinking that either I or poo or the both of us together will end up driving to the cities to snag us a bonnie and then driving back to CF. Which is ok with me I guess (a road trip with two of my favorite people), but I'm sure that we'll have enough of roadtripping by the time we make it to AZ.

Stones and Arrows of men's minds assault me

Not with purpose are they hurled but the concussion is no less for it

Slings and Bows are the suffering of man in his struggle through life

And cursed am I in my pity, my empathy, to be a unintentional target for their errant barbs

Cursed am I to see the painful lances of men's eyes, and yet I have no cure

So I went to capoeira tonight, it was billie's 2nd anniversary of his batizado. So of course we kicked the crap out of him. Which reminds me that I have a birthday roda coming up. have to fight everyone in the group in succession. I get to have the crap kicked out of me... What's kind of sad is how much I'm looking forward to it.

Eu faco Armada

Eu faco Queixada

Quando fico na roda

Jogo Capoeira
