just another lazy selfish bastard.. ...December 26th 2008
the day after christmas and i am tired but not hung over. my short list for last night included: check out the soundbar's xmas party, stop by the triple rock for Staraoke and visit a friend & drop off a gift. instead i hung out on my couch in my underwear, watching "iron man" and eating an entire thing of ...

with so many things coming up (ranging from intimate parties to big events) in the next 7 days, i couldn't seem to figure out which one to feature here.. my first thought was to write a short blurb on each one until i realized that i don't even have the time to look up all the details for each event.. ...
