It looks like I will be alone on New Years Eve. No parties to go to, nobody to hang out with. Happy New Year to me.

Why wont you work? Please, just let me buy my damn camera!

Or neither. I don’t know. Work was the main thing for me today. It was alright. I made $60 in tips tonight. Not too shabby. I want to do something tomorrow besides working on the house and going to work. Maybe I will spend my gift certificates. I don’t know. I have saved up almost enough money to buy the digital SLR camera that I want. I know once I get the money I am going to end up buying it. It will put me in the poor house, but for some reason my gut is telling me to do this. I don’t know what it is. But over the last 7 months I have become an art addict. I am trying to sketch out all of the details of my movie. I am trying to put the finishing touches on my art website and buy my domain. I am doing so many things that I never enjoyed until a little less than a year ago. I guess I haven’t really changed, I have evolved. I still do everything with computers, but now I am expanding my work into specific areas. Let me take a look at the things that I have done differently over the past year…
- I started to write and take pictures for the Aumnibus
- I started writing poetry and short stories again
- Picked up a camera one day and it just felt good.
Maybe these things are trying to tell me something about my life.

This year was so different from all of the other years of Christmas. No family came into town, in fact, some of the family left to go out of town. It was just the 4 of us this year. No hectic schedules, no crowded rooms, peace and quiet. Just the way I like it on Christmas. We had a very small Christmas this year, not too many gifts, but it was much better this way. I did most of my shopping this year on the Internet, something I should have started years ago. It takes the pressure off of finding that perfect gift.

I went to wish a merry Christmas. I was glad I did. I haven’t talked to her in ages, and it made my day much better. I realized this is probably the last Christmas I will be living in Montgomery. I will of course come down to visit every Christmas, but who knows if my family is going to be living in Montgomery next year. For all I know, my dad will take that job at Duke. That would be something. I would be very happy for him and my mom if they did. But I will stay in Birmingham.

I hope everybody had a merry Christmas, and I hope everybody has a happy new year.

I have been in a rather good mood lately. I have most of my friends that are on LJ a paid account. I have realized that in many cases this is the primary way I keep up with them.
I still need to do some work on my webpage before I let it go public, and I have been fiddling around with the idea of buy a domain name. pholower.com how does that sound? If any of you know of a good domain service or hosting service I should go through please let me know. I am seriously thinking about doing this so that I can post my writing and photography on there rather than just on my journal.
I bought my sister a CD player for her car today. I know she must feel horrible about not having anything in her car to listen to after the little incident a week ago.
I hope all of you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. (Oh, and if any of you have anything planned for the New Year, please let me know. I have nothing to do that night and would love a party, or at least some company)

Merry Christmas and Ho Ho Ho. I am going into work to cover for somebody. It is okay, I wanted to cover for them. I would be extremely bored if I didn’t. I had to travel to Rockford, AL today. Yeah, it sucked. The only thing in that town worth mentioning is a stop n shop in the center of town. At least they have a red light. (it is a blinking 4 way stop red light, but a red light none-the-less. When I was coming back I got really hungry. So I stopped into the Hardee’s in Wetumpka. As I was ordering, the lady came up to the counter with her food and said, “I want my money back.”
They called the manager up, and she said, “Can I help you?”
The lady said “yeah, I want my money back.”
“Why’s that?” said the manager.
The lady looked like she didn’t know for a second and then said, “Because this hamburger doesn’t have real meat in it.”
“Yes it does” the manager replied.
“No it doesn’t, I can’t eat this fake stuff.”
“You can’t eat it because you don’t have any teeth.”
“Well, I still want my money back.”
“Okay”
WHAT THE FUCK? Maybe I should try to get my money back for the food too. Then again, I was going to eat mine. I could always say that I should have to pay for it because it is just going to come out of my system in time anyway. Besides, I never knew that fast food places had a “no hassle” return policy. I guess they are owned by wal-mart.

I am 95% evil.

Which SNL Loser are *YOU*?

The paid journal thing is cool. I didn’t do it because of the extra features, although they are nice, I did it because it supports livejournal. I know it must be expensive to run things the way they do. (Have you ever seen an ad?) I was happy today because I only had to work 6 1/2 hours. Not too bad. I feared that Sam wouldn’t show up, and that I would have to work until 9 or 10. That would have really sucked because I would still be a work right now. Anyhow, I am working on a huge improvement on the look of my site. Then maybe I will start to update it more often and let you guys look at it. I am still upset that I can’t use my camera anymore. The only other digital camera I own is broken and I haven’t found a place that will fix it (besides canon) and I am scared to think of how much it will cost for it to be repaired. So I am looking on ebay to see what the average auction price is for a digital SLR. I have found a Nikon for around $200. It is a 3.1 Megapixal with 10x optical zoom. Plus it has some really cool features on it. It holds two Compact Flash cards, and it can take type II cards. This means I can buy a 64mb card and use the 8mb card that I have here, with the the 32mb card that it comes with. SWEET! Soon I will have a page that has the same artistic quality that has at www.myredself.org. Until then. I will keep trying…

Why can’t I just settle down with somebody, get married, and call it quits on the dating scene? If you are somebody that is reasonably attractive, very smart, and like conversation… Marry Me.
