I just saw STARDUST - what an amazing movie.  Every bit as magical as the Harry Potter series, with a kind of neat little love story woven in.  I was shocked at how good it was.  Left me wishing I could watch it again, and again.

Anna Banana Pants (my rottie) is growing up into a beautiful young lady, almost 2 1/2 years old now!  My little girl is growing up...  sniff... LOL

I'm building/repairing/modifying guitars in my spare time right now, and I've even got customers!  I placed an ad on CraigsList in the Musical Instruments forum, and I've got people coming to me from all over the city to help them setup their guitars properly, and getting 40-50 bucks a whack!  Pretty nice little supplement to my social security disability income.  Not enough to screw up my eligibility, mind you - just a couple extra hundred bucks a month.  It's really nice, because even though I'm disabled, I can still tinker with guitars - makes me wish I had learned to do it back when I was still able to work full-time.  I might have had a nice little guitar/music store right now.  Oh, well, shit happens for a reason, and it's not up to me to fuck with fate.  Even though I've been through some pretty awful shit (and believe me, parts of it would curl your hair!!!) I wouldn't change a thing, because I like who I am, and everything that's happened up until now is what's made me, me - y'know?

Anyway, enough of the cathartic introspection.  It's nice to be back.

Take it easy all,

Stardust was a great movie. While I was watching it, I remember I'd read the first part of the book and that's why it seemed so familiar (lol) O:
The guitar thing you have going on sounds really cool too!
And I agree, some of the toughest stuff you go though really add to who you are. If the journey thought life had no bumps at all, it would be pretty boring, I think.

I keep forgetting to reply to this!! D:

I LOVED Stardust!! It was absolutely magical, and I'm a sucker for a good love story. =P It's also based on a book by Neil Gaiman, a writer I'm starting to get into. I've never read any of his novels, but if they're all as good as Stardust and the short stories he wrote in "Smoke and Mirrors," then I'm REALLY looking forward to reading more by him.

Wow... she's really that old?! She's still such a bouncy little puppy!! I can still remember when we went out to get her, she was so tiny and scared... and now look at her!

I'll keep Craigslist in mind when I'm looking for an easy buck. =) That is AWESOME that you're able to make so much money doing something you love! And really, I'm the same way - I wouldn't change a thing about my life. Not who I am, not the decisions I've made, not how much money we have, nothing. I've learned from my mistakes and I intend to keep doing so. Plus there's the whole butterfly effect - the tiniest change could completely change who I am, and I'm quite comfortable with the me I am now. =)

Anyway... I'm rambling. XP See you soon!!
