and a Happy New Year. I realize very few will ever see this, and I've done a bad job of keeping in touch with, well, I'm sure all of them. Anyway, the message still rings true at least. |

"The baby goose you brought in was checked out and found to be mildly dehydrated but otherwise was in good shape. Because it was so young, we cared for it until 7/20 and then one of our volunteers released it back into the wild."
Not sure why this postcard took until the beginning of October to get here, but it's nice to get a bit of resolution anyway. I know we know nothing more of how it did after being released, but I have to assume it was able to survive on its own if it was released. Good good. |

I guess that says it all (albeit a little late).
Hope it's going well for all of you.
Last year I was much more on the ball. I had resolutions that I was all determined to follow far before the new year rolled in. This year, I had nothing. I guess I should get on that.
My first one would be not to call / text people who don't know me. Yeah, that's you Lauren, who no longer has the same cell number.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valourous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you, and you may call me, V.

So, my second cell phone in six months appears to be dead.
The first one the cat knocked a glass of water over onto.
This one I apparently thought was dirty, so I left it in my pants pocket while I washed and dried them, only realizing it was there when I pulled the pants out of the dryer. gg me.
So, I really don't have the money to buy a new phone, so I'm hoping I can pick one up "cheap" on ebay or something, but it's not likely. I have a really old one from a while ago that still works, but I don't have a clue where the charger is, and the reception/range is....subpar to say the least.
So, this kinda sucks. Still not too much more on the job front either.
I lose my van to him and Margo to gangster rap. Bad day.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I'll simply steal one of these things that I typically never do. Mmmm
42 Things You'd Never Think to Ask...
1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?
Define "searched"....
2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?
Nope
3. When's the last time you've been sledding?
Years...well, no, now that I think about it, I sledded a couple of years ago with Ann.
4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?
Sadly, alone most of the time.
5. Do you believe in ghosts?
Not so much.
6. Do you consider yourself creative?
Not as much as I should be.
7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?
Haha, of course.
8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
Jolie. Apparently, she's appealing to women too. mmmmm
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics?
Yes'm, go ahead, ask me anything.
10. Do you know how to play poker?
Yes.
11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Too often

The Southwest Airlines commercial where the guy hits the checker at the supermarket with a grapefruit.
13. Who was your first love?
Andrea
14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around do you drive through a red light?
No, if it's the middle of the night, I'm probably on autopilot and not really paying attention.
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?

16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?
Fuck em both.

I don't know that I've ever actually cried, but come close rather regularly actually.
20. Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?
Yes'm, but oddly, I think it would take me a while. For some reason, the Beatles are one of those groups that you could name 999999 songs, they just never come to mind right away.
21. What's the one thing on your mind?
Job hunt.
22. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not love, I don't think so.

It's just a habit, so yes. I don't even think about it really.
25. What talent do you wish you had?
Charisma? I don't think I'm nearly smooth enough, except with the ladies. So Lauren, wanna come over and help me organize my stamp collection? >;-)

Haha, yes.
28. What do you wear to bed?
Usually boxers, maybe a tee shirt.
29. Have you ever been caught stealing?
Caught. Pfft
30. Does size matter?
Uh...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is aimed towards the other gender.
31. Do you truly hate anyone?
Nobody coming to mind, well, maybe Macy Gray.
32. Rock or Rap
Rock
33. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?
Ugh, this is hard. Scarlett would be the lady of the moment.
34. Do you know anyone in jail?
Not currently in jail, but a few that have been in and out.
35. Have you ever sang in front of the mirror?
No.
37. What food do you find disgusting?

Hahahahah, maybe it wasn't quite worded that way, but....
39. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?
I'm sure I have, but it's not coming to mind. I would like to think not, but I'm gonna say yes on the off chance.
40. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?
Yes, have a few good stories about that.
41. Have you ever been punched in the face?
The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club. Yes, I have.
42. Do you love lemons?
Not really. Although, it gives me a good reason to break out a rough quote from the illustrious Steve Ruppel. When life throws you lemons, throw them out and go find some sluts.
