Long time no blog.
It’s not that I haven’t had anything to say, it’s that I’ve come into such little time to be bored enough to write – which is both a curse and a blessing.
Happy to report I passed my law final with an 82.7, which I’m fine with…B student all the way. I start my last of 3 terms at Baystate on Monday and I’m getting pretty pumped to be finished. Writing papers has become the bain of my existence but with the start of new classes comes the hope of more apathetic teachers who focus more on testing than writing…we’ll see.
Work is fine, It was pretty crazy with all of our auto transplants coming down the line in Jan/Feb but they’ve all but a few been admitted and/or are outpatient now so the storm is passing. I almost have a complete grasp on all of the facets of the new position, it’s more or less training my mind to retain the details of every case on service at a given moment – which is a skill I’m not so sure I can acquire.
Socially things continue to keep my life constantly teasing the sound barrier. The Montreal crew (sans D woods) went to NYC for a few days to see the Spice Girls and get into trouble. Both vacations we’re equal in terms of the amount of relaxation time I got, but equal in satisfaction as well so I won’t complain.
Thomas has been in and out which has been good, not great, but good. I still look forward to him coming home every time, it’s always a good time.
Niko seems to be flourishing, I’m happy for him.
and the bwpc, well…they’re all still cheats and liars but I keep their company regardless.
Happy Birthday Shelby, btw.
Everything is maintaining a quiet happiness for now, I’m enjoying the company of Brian when he’s around and Jenfo on our wine nights. I miss Tevvy Laufer and the baby but keep a spot for them on the couch when I watch our shows.
Birthday soon, looking forward to topping last years shitmess.
I hope you’re all starting to ideate the perfect gift for my 23rd year, bitches.

I finally took December off my wall last night, sweet jesus. Half-month lag? It was a crazy few weeks I suppose, I’m definitely looking forward to more low key events until spring.
I experimented by going to Nashua last weekend to see how weekends up there go, I wouldn’t mind spending more time up there as I got plenty of sleep and wasn’t overdrawn by Monday. Brian, Jennfo, Richard, Shayne and I had a pretty wild AFC Championship party and good times were had by all. I’m thinking it would be a good spot for the Super Bowl if Brian feels like hosting…love that heddy HDTV.
This week has been unexpectedly unforgiving. Work got busy out of no where and I have back to back days of class with a test and some bullshit outline due. Thursday should bring a nice feeling of relief, and then try to take it easy until Saturday for Nik’s 25th birthday shitshow.
I think things are slowly but surely falling into a more structured groove than before. The full classload routine has helped me appreciate quiet time at home more, and other social developments have made me appreciate quiet time other people more.
We’ll see how long it lasts ;)
Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in ‘God’s standards’

The United States Constitution never uses the word “God” or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from “We the People.” However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it’s time to put an end to that.
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
When Willie Geist reported Huckabee’s opinion on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it “interesting,”
Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes “evangelicals should be able to talk politics … some might find that statement very troubling, that we’re going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Geist further noted of Huckabee that if “someone without his charm,” said that, “he’d be dismissed as a crackpot, but he’s Mike Huckabee and he’s bascially the front-runner.”
Ahem, so…
Not for nothing, but my lame ass had a dream about Scotty last night – we won’t get into it.
I’m still grappling with this motivation thing, I feel kind of useless at
work not wanting to do anything. I mean, I don’t just sit here but I could be far more pro-active with things and just choose to waste time on espn or perez…oi. As odd as it seems I think being back in the swing of a full class load might help me pull my shit together, and obviously taming down my weekends… (hah!)
[Blah!]
I’m thinking about going to Nashua this weekend to get away from the city and watch the Championship on Brian’s rediculously large television, plus he could use the company. It’s a long weekend so I can compromise by staying on Friday night or coming home for Sunday and have a balanced weekend that won’t kill my bank account…I wonder if I can get any of the boys to come up for some NH shenanigans.
Probably not.
Spose I shouldn’t have written this entry at work if I really cared about being motivated, hah! Off I go…
Hmph.
Ugh I’m upset with myself…I have no motivation to do anything. I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing all day. It pains me to get up for work in the morning and don’t even talk about school…I’m having a serious mental block with caring about my responsibilities.
is this what being black is like?
sigh.
I’ll try to elaborate more tomorrow, but I don’t give a shit right now.
xo
I’m seriously lacking with this update business!
Up until the middle of December I was still anticipating quite a shitty holiday season, and how wrong was I?
I think having the boys home had a lot to do with it, but also time off from school, work, and mixed with an unusual availability of time between all of the BWPC created this crazy storm of ridiculousness. Today is my first day of rest in nearly a week, by the time Brian and I woke up yesterday my body had fucking had it…I plan on getting as much sleep and drinking as much water as possible in the next few days.
Everything has been really good interpersonally, I’ve managed to not harbor any bitchy feelings over the holidays and kind of fix things for myself with Brian and start a new friendship with Niko’s Brian…who it turns out is a sweet kid with good intentions. I’ve been able to spend a good amount of time with Thomas which has had a lot to do with booting my mood and patience levels with everything.
I have the rest of this week off to rest before another crazy weekend (I’m sure) with the boys. Next week begins the new semester and the boys will pack up and head back to their schools, I’m not sad though…this time spent with them has (if nothing else) re-assured our love for each other and the strength of our bond. State borders haven’t done much in the way of hurting that. I’ll have a full class load when I go back on Monday which I’m not really stoked about but will get through it because there’s only 3 more months of bitter cold left before I can look forward to sleeping with my windows open at night and smelling spring in the morning again.
I think I’m gonna walk to Whole Foods and grab some vanilla cheesecake…I’ve got a craving like Paul and bad decisions.
xo
aha! here I am!
Boston is in slipping into a gross freeze and it’s making me a cranky bitch (and late for work) almost every day.
I finished my law class and while I don’t know what my grade is exactly I’m confident I did well enough, hopefully B+ ish??? Gotta keep padding that GPA bitches!
I should mention that my chances of staying in Boston after graduation have increased like 20% due to the opportunities now being afforded to me by this new position, but I’m still very much needing the California sun. Also, I think SF might be out…I mean my whole thing was I want some fucking lovely climate that’s easy to live in so I’ve been poking around the web doing some research on San Diego and the programs out there…not so bad? We shall see.
I start new classes this week but plan on going to none of them, I’ve been fighting this ugly cold for weeks now and need a mental/physical health week – not to mention one of my new classes is that fucking awful mathematics course I put off in July. I’m fucked big time on that one. Gahhhh
Halloween’s been great so far, I’m heading up to Nashua to meet Brian’s friends on Wednesday and I took Thursday off so that will be my finale as next week is Richard’s birthday and it’s back to the business of getting drunk in normal clothes. The boys are well, I’m looking forward to next week because we finally get Ture back from the evil (and filthy) clutches of north shore politics.
Egh, Nicole’s birthday is next Tuesday and I have to go see her and the baby because I’m a terrible person – so the next time you call me remind me (of either.)
I continue to miss Thomas and Niko – I want them to meet Brian and get my jokes and make me enjoy fall in Boston again 
and that’s where I’m at right now, pretty content and SUPER excited to watch the great muppet caper in after this cigarette.

Filed under: general bullshit
I can’t ever iron a shirt correctly.
Is there some fucking trick I’m missing here? It looks fine on the board but when I hang it up there’s microscopic wrinkles in it! Wrinkles only noticeable if you really were looking for them – but I am – and it pisses me off! Maybe I need starch? More steam? WHAT IS IT!?!?
Maybe it’s just a cheap shirt….fucking H&M
Busy, busy, busy…
July is crazy for me, I haven’t had time for anything let alone rest.
Fortunately, last weekends christening was the most taxing of events on my seanostasis and it’s just fun obligations from here on out. I’m now a proud god father of Patrick James Higgins! He’s a little blue-eyed tank and I love him to death. I posted some pictures on my Flickr. There isn’t a ton because I was pre-occupied with holding the baby and drinking as many free beers as I could. It was a good time, weird to have our family be gathered on a positive note, but good nonetheless.
I started classes, ConLaw and Algebra…I dropped the latter – I’m not taking a fucking math course in August. No way.
In the next few weeks I have so much shit going on – 2 co-worker’s weddings, Nicole’s baby shower, Patrick/Sean/Mike’s Birthday BBQ, Camping in VT, and Montreal Pride. I’m a little overwhelmed but there are worse things to be stressed about so I won’t complain.
Tevvy Laufer came back yesterday to live until the Red Sox season ends, I’m pretty excited. I was weary at first because I had become accustomed to a clean bathroom without cat hair/shit/litter all over it, and no dustballs the size of volkswagons cruising down my hallway, but she bought a fancy new litter box! Victory!
Also, while I’m on the topic – and not that it’s a prevalent thought – but I feel like Jonah being at home so much is causing him to be a shade more crazy than usual and I don’t think I want to deal with it. The whole “I want to use Tevvy’s old room as my office” business kind of ticked me off, but then after I had said “We’ll talk about it” I fucking come home and he’s completely moved in. Whatever. Now there’s cords hanging down in the living room and I have to go move a bunch of furniture into our Apt that I haven’t even seen because his mom is stressing out because she’s moving. What’s the theme? Not my fucking problem! Got kicked out of your office? Not my fucking problem. Mom’s moving to the coast and is in a time crunch to offload some shit? Not my fucking problem.
blah whatever – I love my Jonah and I wouldn’t trade him for the world…but certain things are just annoying me. Maybe it’s me…maybe I’m just stressed and taking it out on the dog. Oh well!
AND ANOTHER THING!
MISSING:
Ture Richard Turnbull
5′10
Hazel eyes, Brown hair
Handsome, carefree, loving, loves to have fun
Have you seen him? Cause I sure as hell haven’t. I’ve noticed this kid who hangs around Adam a lot – real vacant look on his face. Couldn’t be Ture though…Ture’s full of life, Spontaneous, Adventurous, loves being with his friends and doing whatever.
It’s a shame I can’t seem to find him…I miss him.
alright, i’m going to go try the sushi downstairs per Sean’s recommendation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK!
christ.
Pride was a blast – Saturday especially. I forgot my camera on both occasions but you can find pictures…
Sunday got a little sloppy and I drank more than I should have knowing I had work in the morning. Even though I skipped avalon that night boy howdy it wouldn’t have mattered. On Monday I felt pretty crappy as to be expected, but by 5 pm things we’re going terribly awry. By the time 7 pm hit and halfway through my class I had a full on fever, body aches, sore throat and a headache for days. Somehow I caught the nastiest 24hr bug in history. I practically stumbled home in a haze of confusion and weakness (I saw Neil Patrick Harris at the copley T station, btw) and went straight to bed. It was fucking awful, I couldn’t get up let alone walk to the kitchen for water…
no fun. but it’s over now.
My lovely Thomas turned 21 yesterday, and it still feels kind of weird. We’ve been drinking together for half a decade so while this age brings huge significance it’s still weird for me and I don’t quite believe it (though I’m happy.) We celebrated at Top of the Hub last night and a few bars after that but kept it low key as the main event is Friday night at my house. It will be a shitshow to remember as it is not only Thomas’s bday but it’s Tevvy’s going away party as well. I’m trying to find the silver lining in her leaving by knowing they’ll be less cat litter/smell/dander everywhere but it’s a pretty sad occasion – she’s been such an amazing person to have in my life for these years I’m sad to see her go. She needs to do what makes her happy and being home with her friends and continuing her life there will do that, so good for her!
With me, well, I sort of lost my mind for the past 72 hrs with being sick and so I’ve been in a bad place. At one point I just wanted to be away from all of this mess, including work and school….I really was at low Seanostasis. Now that I’m out of the hole I’m ok…dreading the make-up work I have to do but my mood has improved.
I think I’m going to make an effort at reforming on some things, I’m far to spread out emotionally to cover myself anymore. Every little thing with people now either pisses me off or gets me upset. I have to pull back some psychological resources and simmer for a while.
and that’s where I’m at right now. I know I’m skirting a few issues but that’ll be the next entry as it’s been far to long since i’ve called you all out and talked up some shit.
