happy new year...

happy new year all...

headed into the city by the lake soon, for partying madness...

i shall report back when 2006 is here... (and after any incidental headaches/hangovers that may occur)

see you in '06.

ugh....

holy shit... the last two days were filled with the utter joy shitting out my ass as well as out of my mouth... janelle and i both got something that i've never experienced before... this was far worst than that yellow plague i brought home to my roomates a many a times after i'd goto china or taiwan... this was death...

janelle ended up getting sick first early tuesday morning (around midnight-ish)... i was hoping that my super-turbo-asian-immune system would be able to fend off the beast, but the beast was much too strong... i woke up with a weary stomach, and decided to head off to work... i figured it was all psychological and partly sympathetic (since she seemed to be soo miserable)... when i arrived at work, i immediately started to feel ill...

i stayed for about an hour before deciding i needed to head home.... as i managed to make my way back home, almost stopping half-way for a quick detour-i-need-to-puke-on-the-side-of-the-road pitstop, i ran to the toilet... i sat down and prepared for my anal meltdown... instead of a meltdown, it was a flood... it was as if god had replaced my anus with a vagina, that was dispensing chocolate yahoo flavored drink (similar to limp bizkits chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water album)... i couldn't believe it.. i was pissing out my ass... what would be next? crapping out my mouth.... sonofabitch....

my stomach wasn't feeling to well either, and after laying down for a few hours.. it was time to reset... i was quickly reminded in taste, smell, and sight, with what i ate the night before... ahhh chunky style cream of mushroom soup... ahhh... fish.... ahhh wendy's triple burger... ahhh wendy's fries... ahhh wendy's chicken nuggets.... ahhh melted and curdled frosty.... ahhh pepsi (yes i do eat that much...)... about four power pukes later i was done... and feeling a little better... or so i thought..

over the rest of the day, i shit my pants about nine times (ran through almost all my clean boxers), puked about 4 more times, shit on the floor (the power of puke commanded me to open my anus and release all it's yahoo goodness...), and puked on the floor... by this time, i was so damn dehydrated, i had to keep trying to drink water... no dice... up it came... i eventually got to the point where i was puking up the same exact brown liquid that was coming out my ass... yes.. i was shitting out my mouth... it was horrible... the smell of the bile-laden-e-coli-shit smelling liquid that was coming out my ass, was the exact taste and smell coming out of my mouth...

i was sore and aching so i wasn't able to sleep, but just lay there praying i don't shit or puke myself again... i finally stopped and was able to actually lay a "dry" fart about 9pm that night... i was thrilled (as i was running very short on boxers)... if anything good came out of this.. i lost about 6 lbs. in a day, i learned that powerade tastes the same going down as coming up, and i learned that there is something more to fear than the yellow plague...

we are both glad though this came before new years eve and our trip to aruba... so now it should be smooth sailing... saturday... party/drink/eat.. sunday/monday rest... friday aruba...

let's see what we can bring back from aruba now....

the uber-cicle

this monster was hanging outside and i just had to have it. this was my red ryder, and oh yes, it was mine. there is another chongo (meaning: larger than life) icicle forming as we speak. i shall wait for it to mature, before going in for the kill.

if you look close enough, you can see it has a mini-me attachment ontop, that i would like to call the "bonus bang"....

so christmas is upon us... we've finished all our christmas shopping, have the presents all wrapped and ready to go.. tomorrow we brave the drive from chicago --> lansing and then eventually midland... work always lets us out early before holidays, so i'm hoping to be on the road by 1 or 2-ish, probably just in-time to be cocked up in chicago traffic...

the next 2-3 weeks are going to go fast... with christmas and monday off, then new years eve (party in the city) and that monday off, then aruba that friday, the time is going to fly...

today we took a trek to chinatown for some dim-sum lunch... daahhhmmm, we drawwped that shit like it was hawwwt... with full bellies (of an eclectic cornucopia of shrimp, rice, beef, pork, taro, and chicken feet) and my taro milk bubble tea, i lethargically headed back to work... it reminded me of the times in high school, when we would all pile into blazey and make a brief exodus out to the rally's (which was all the way across town) for burgers... all crammed into a lunch period span of about 45 min... those were good times..

times as good as the times that will be had with the uber-cicle....

[cubicle].

so, i've lied about getting back to this, but i won't let it grow stale like the many other yellowed paper one page filled journals i have (html doesn't yellow does it?).... it's been a pretty busy month... christmas shopping, honeymoon planning, working, writing songs, playing warcraft3, gee-tar hero, and world of warcraft, drinking, eating, etc...

i finally have a moment to catch my breath, only to have it all start again... so on friday, we chilled in the cold ass city streets of chi-town and hit up a musical play, only after visiting this crazy mexican seafood place for dinner... this only being the second time i've ever heard the term "mexican seafood" used together (the first, from nirvana, off the incesticide album)... with all the items on the menu, i ended up with the $5 pimp-ass steak tacos... (i had ordered a a seafood combination soup, but the waitress didn't hear me)... they were, umm... bueno, especially being washed down with authentic mexican cerveza...

the play we saw was a musical adaption of "office space"... damn funny, damn good... the man who played milton was dead on and the songs weren't too bad... hazen was able to get us onto the waiting list in this tiny ass theater, and we were able to get in, and be front and center... i think i got groped and spit on a few times from being so damn close to the actors... this was definately entertaining...

so, coming this jan 6th, janelle and i will be departing to tropical warm aruba... beaches, clear ocean water, beer, food, and sun... i've always wanted to goto a beach where there is clear water (not only am a little afraid of water [see previous posts], but i also have that phobia where if you can't see the bottom, i automatically assume i'm stepping on decaying fish heads, fingers, and dead jellyfish...).. now i get to see what i am stepping on, so i'll never go back in the water... so we're just going to sit around on the beach, drink, eat, play some warcraft 3 (hmmm....) and just relax for the week...

i'm excited for janelle, cause she's never been on a plane before, so this will be her first time... she gets to have the whole flying experience... waking up at 3:00am to catch a 6:00am flight, getting felt up by the guards, running to your transfer gate, playing 'where's waldo' with your luggage as you wait forever for it to come, sitting in the most tightly crammed spot for 4-5 hours as the person next to you keeps silently releasing the mustard gas that has been brewing within his cheeks since he was born...

oh yes. it shall be grand.
