The Misadventurer- Journal

The old days.

The other day I was reminded of a time about six years ago, when I was still heavily into magic. I was at a conference and was waiting in the lobby – or maybe I was waiting for a performance…Anyway, I was “interacting” with a deaf man, and we decided to teach each other one of our favorite tricks. It was an incredible feeling trying to communicate with this guy – trying to describe the execution of a particular sleight or combination thereof.

It was a really great feeling when he was able to pull it off.

So Christmas went well, and I hope yours did too.

Seriously.

Yes, but does that come in yellow?

I didn’t realize that there was such a thing as an asian “down-syndromer”. I was watching one dry hump the back of a seat on the bus today while he stood throughout my ride.
It was amazing. So great in fact, that when I arrived at my destination, I slid a fiver down his tightie whities on my way out.

We’re head over to Connie’s cousin’s place for Xmas Eve, so the shelter thing is going to have to wait until the New Year. And for all those homeless people with internet access – I apologize, I’ll serve you burgers from a pot in January.

If I don’t post something tomorrow, have a Merry Fucking Christmas, and enjoy the company of kith and kin.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Not only can my mom kick your mom’s ass, but she can also kick YOUR ass. So don’t fuck with her.
Happy Birthday Mom! I love you lots and miss you even more!
XOXOXO

It's always nice to be appreciated.

This arrived in my inbox at work yesterday.
Thanks Yeats.

Man, I really apologize for not having anything to say…I’ve realized I live a very boring life. Wow.

Hey Cripple!

I was downtown today, and an elderly couple was walking towards me with a stroller. I mustered my usual brownie-point collecting smile and prepared for the old “Admire-the-child-and-look-amused-when-making-eye-contact-with-the-parent” look.

What was great though, was in the middle of the maneuver I realized that the stroller was in fact a wheelchair, obviously belonging to one of them.

So instead of pleasantries, I non-verbally said “Hey – I’m amused and slightly surprised that one of you two needs a wheelchair and aren’t using it at the moment! Hurrah!”

Fucking kids…

I hate spam, don’t you? Actually, I hate anything that is addressed to more people than just me and has RE: in the subject. And I don’t me the odd funny picture or feel good joke or something, that you saw and forwarded to a few of your friends because you thought they’d appreciate it. I mean when the subject is RE: RE: RE: Clever nonsense and is CC’d to everyone in your address book. I HATE that. I really, really HATE that.

BTW, fuck, shit. Yup, censoring is disabled ;’)

Happy Halloween

Another October has passed. Now there’s nothing left before Christmas. Fall is a happy time for me – the leaves crunching beneath your feet, the slight bite in the air. That’s it in a nutshell for today, let’s try to post something again in the SAME WEEK.

The internet is fun

Kids are so cute. Take a look at this.

So we’re supposed to find out what’s going on this week, ie which cruise line and when we leave. It’s really getting to me, having all these balls in the air and not knowing when any of them are coming down…

Ack..Very frustrating. I’ve subscribed to a service through Lonely Planet that let’s all you guys dial a 1-800 number and leave messages for us (for free of course), which we can then listen to either on the phone or on the web. I’m sure you can appreciate this since while when Lyla and I leave, we won’t be on the same ship, so we’ll be pretty fucking lonely – which is going to be hard, but it’s a small period of time considering what we’re going to get out of it.

“I like Santa.”

“Yeah.”

PS. Oh my god, it censored my swearing.

New Design

So what do you think? Things that have changed are:

Not much, but now you have to be logged-in, in order to comment.

I did this because I wanted to be able to have more sections on the site once we leave, and the old set up just wasn’t going to do what I needed it to.

I’ll also import all the other posts when I have a few minutes.

You can also use that calendar on the right to put important dates you might think of on the site too!

Be Productive!

What the hell is this? It’s unsettling, that’s what.
