This is the greatest obituary I've ever read.

The Secret Machines are my new favorite band.
My Fender Stratocaster is not a piece of shit after all.

Deaniac

I suppose I can settle for this, but I would rather see Howard Dean run for president in 2008.

Cruise Your New Baby Fly Self

It’s another boring Friday at work. Every meeting I was scheduled to attend this week was cancelled at the last minute. In other words, I’ve been well prepared for nothing.

Kim and I plan on going out to eat tonight and finishing season three of "24." We’re trying to watch all the episodes before season four premiers on Sunday. I’ve been enjoying appearances by David Herman, better known as Michael Bolton from “Office Space,” and “Mr. Show” alumna Mary Lynn Rajskub.

Speaking of television shows, some re-re is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending he threw up after watching a “Fear Factor” episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender. I don’t know about you, but my vomit is worth at least $5 million.

I just ordered several iPod accessories online, including a cup holder insert. I’ll be honest, I got paid today and don’t know what to do with my money. I love my iPod. It allows me to listen to Girls Against Boys instead of Kelly Clarkson when I go running.

An older woman who works in my building told me I look like Colin Farrell. I’m convinced she was thinking of Will Ferrell. Alexander? I hardly even know her.

Happy New Year

I hope everybody had a great time over the holidays. I enjoyed spending time with family and getting lots of cool stuff, including a guitar multiple-effects processor and an iPod. Having to go back to work was depressing. At least I get Martin Luther King Jr. Day off in two weeks.

Highlights from the break included: making gingerbread men at my boss’ boss’ boss’ house in Houston; spending Christmas Eve with both my brother and his family in The Woodlands and my parents in Kingwood; spending Christmas Day with my in-laws to be in Coldspring; watching numerous episodes of “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “Seinfeld” and “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” as well as extensive highlights of the Detroit Red Wings’ ‘97 and ’98 seasons; attending Kevin and Amy’s wedding in Arlington; eating lasagna and watching "The Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King" with my parents and Kim’s parents; watching fireworks on New Year’s Eve with John and co. in Pasadena; and watching Texas beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

I hope 2005 is as good as, if not better than, 2004. Happy New Year!
