Ok, Time for my semi-monthly post. Most if not all of the folks reading this are probably on Shelleypro's Friends list, but here is what has happened since I've last posted, by the numbers:
1 Knocked-up wife - Look, I AM good for something! Way to go boys!!
1 Broken wrist - No punching for 6 weeks!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
1 Concusion - Just like free drugs
2X responsibility at work - Yeah!
0X increase in pay to go along with added responsibilities - Boo!
1 New truck - What the heck was I thinking!?
1 New tatoo idea - The buddhist wheel of life as a back piece, I don't desire it, that wouldn't be very Budd-ish, but it would be nice.
1 New hobby - I start bass guitar lessons next Sunday!
1 more disappointment in TV - Major Victory should have TOTALLY won Who Wants To Be a Superhero?! Fat Mamma only made it to the end to appease the PC crowd, and Feedback is a Frickin psycho! That guy is insane.
0 decent offers on Townhouse - Frickin' market sux.
That's about all for now that I can think of.
With love,
Dr. Thomas J. FeelGood Esq. |

Greetings all!!
It ahs been a while since I posted, but I feel that this past week has had sufficient enough excitement to warrant a post.
Boston -
1) FABULOUS!!!! I flew up last Saturday and got back on Wednesday. In between it was a whirlwind of good times.
2) Met so many good people thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) weegoddess it was almost overwhelming. I don't know everybody's LJ names, but you know who you are. Thanks for helping make the trip a success, and a special thanks to sunspiral for his extraordinary graciousness.
3) We ate, drank, snacked, and laughed damn near constantly for 4 days. Piles of meat, dim sum, tons o' ice cream, and air-popped-organic popcorn... mmmm. Not to mention fantastic chowda from an Irish bar.
4) Duck boats are a quackin' blast.
Went to the infamous Chambers last night with the lovely shelleypro. Ran into quite a few friends. It's odd how the pagan/hippie crew is melding into the leather/chain crew. The world is taking a turn for the bizarre.
All else remains well in my little chunk of reality/fantasy. Hope to post more soon. |

| Important Decisions.... |
[Jan. 21st, 2006|08:40 am] |
OK everybody, I have some important decisions to make. Certain opportunities have come to my attention and I'm not sure which way to go. PLEASE HELP!!! This is my situation:
A gentleman by the name of Mohammad Wolfe emailed me with an offer to help me "append substantial spicery to [my] existence." This sounds great, but then somebody named "The Prospector" offered to "append IMPORTANT spicery to [my] existence!" Now what!? Is it better to have "substantial spicery" or "important spicery"? I just don't know.
To make matters worse, Velma Chambers added to my dilemna when she offered to add "important spiceness to [my] aliveness". Now this gets philosophical. Is it better to have important spicery in existence, or important spiceness to aliveness? Important spicery for existence is a huge committment, while aliveness will at least stop when I die.
Please help!!!!!!!! |

| MOSI's Bodies Exhibition |
[Aug. 17th, 2005|10:53 pm] |
|
MOSI will be putting on the bodies exhibition against the orders of the state board of Honky-Tonk or whoever the hell they are. They are opening the exhibition tomorrow instead of Saturday. The state will file a civil injunction against the museum and eventually they will close early so now is the time to see it. The museum thinks that they should stay open at least through the weekend. Thankfully the exhibition owners has offered to pay all legal expenses incurred by the museum. |

I had a phone interview this morning. Went pretty well so we'll see what happens next. It's for a pretty independant job. I'll rarely see anybody else in the company except for training, which is in Holland!!!!!! Actually, don't get too excited. It's Holland, Michigan; not Holland the country. Oh well. Job sounds OK though, I travel the state inspecting, repairing, and maintaining environmental testing equipment such as laboratory heaters and coolers. I've got a few interviews left to determine if it's something I really want to do. I'd be home most nights and always home on weekends, except for some initial training up north. Pay is right, and I won't have a desk so it could be a good opportunity. |

| JUST DO IT!!!!!!! |

OK, here it is. I have a mission next month and I am inviting everybody to join me. This includes all of you, throughout tampa, sarasota, baltimore, boston, south florida, wherever you may be.
Starting on July 1st and finishing by July 31st I will be writing a novel. The only rules are that no text of the novel can be written ahead of time, the novel must be complete within the month, and the minimum word count is 50,000 words. That boils down to only 1613 words per day so this is totally possible. Any genre may be tackled. Quality will be low, as a first draft always is.
If you are still telling yourself that you can't do it because you've tried before, I have a secret weapon that will help get you going. It's a DEADLINE!!!!!!! Few people can write huge chunks without a deadline. But with a deadline, production goals, and supportive friends we all can do it.
So who's with me? Just think, if you complete your novel, you can always say "yes, I have written a novel thank you very much". There are a whole lot of creative people out there in LJ land and those people know even more creative people.
I am starting on July 1st. If anybody wants to join up for some coffee and writing just let me know.
Your lovable prophet,
Dr. Thomas J. FeelGood Esq. |

| Adult ponderings |
[Feb. 24th, 2005|11:28 am] |
WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN OR THE SQUEMISH! IT
CONTAINS ADULT AND POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE MATERIAL, READ AT YOUR OWN
RISK,
That being said, I was watching a show on PBS about the adult film
industry
and the extremes that some producers are taking their films to. There
were
2 companies prominently featured, Seymour Butts and Extreme Associates.
Both have been charged in obscenity cases. The Extreme Associates case
stirs up a moral conundrum within me. Let me explain?.
EA produced a film depicting the rape and murder of a woman. The
actress
had no idea what was going to be in the scene that she was about to
shot,
she was only told to "go with it". She was depicted being kidnapped,
beaten, raped, and murdered. The beating was real, not acting. Even
the
director, a woman, was flinching as the scene was being shot and
appeared
to have a hard time watching the shoot. The actress in question has
continued filming movies for the company and was OK with what happened.
This company was currently on trial for obscenity at the time the PBS
documentary was filmed. I am unsure of the outcome.
This raises the following questions: Where does, or even should, the
first
amendment end in a case such as this? Should this be considered
protected
speech? While I don't believe that an adult or child viewing a normal
pornographic film suffers any real mental damage, I can't help but feel
that the same child would be affected be seeing images as horrible as
the
ones described above. The old adage "If you don't like it, don't watch
it"
comes to mind, but is the mere existence of such material a danger to
our
society?
I'm just not sure what to think about this issue, so I am turning to
you,
my friends and peers, for opinions and wisdom to help me, and possibly
you,
sort through these thorny issues of our time. |
