I've got this nice plastic rubber maid storage drawer set that I keep next to my bed, had a five inch television on it, so I guess you can call it a night stand. And it is a singular.

My list of abhorrance is only comparable to my list of mistakes.

James Brown, Etta James, Juice Mouse Zero, myself (how conceited), A Tribe Called Quest, (I knew they were talented, but not how much) Ronnie Size, Rahzel, Postal Service (I think that was this year) Joy Electric (yeah that was this year) Sunny Day Real Estate, the Flaming Lips, the Eels, (how did I sleep on these bands?) Guru, John Coltrane (jazz is how i feel), the Stone Roses, (I gotta find more by them) Muse, COLDPLAY (too bad Martin's gone and diluted their music in the name of love, BAH!!), Portishead (I just actually listened to them back in January, blind or def, you decide) and so much more that I really don't have time to keep going, but let me not forget Roy Ayers, Con Funk Shun, The Funkadelics, Liam Lynch, Fine China, AND!!

Completion.

Learning more. About anything.

34. What kept you sane?
Who said I was sane?

35. Which celebrity figure did you fancy the most?
Uh, honestly, none of them. I'm not a huge fancier of celebrity figures, I'm more enraptured by a personality than I am the expensive good looks.

The incredibly infallibleness of world issues to conform to Bible prophecy.

37. Who did you miss?

Several new people I met were cool, the Schedel's from Canada, they were rock, I kinda got to know Matthew, he's definitely rock, Amber and Kate(cher) from Haleyville, sorry my meeting you had to be on the terms of exacting revenge for something you didn't do to me, but hey! Um. . .yes, hey. And met E-Dub again for the first time.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003?
Being alone doesn't make you lonely.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Halcyon Days - The Tea Party. Sums up a year quite well if you ask me.

alone, left here in dust
amidst my fears and doubts
life's shattered dreams I could have
gone without
now chthonic life has set its sights on
making me a slave to its ways
i wait for return
until then my soul it burns
and it burns only for you...

i'll be with you soon...

night it falls on me endlessly
and i search for you in this blindness
i'm a prodigy of lust and loss
'till sleep comes down

i can't explain, this disdain remains
this treason i can't reason
they left me here for dread my dear
barely breathiung, but i'm still breathing

now i see a light
it's shining from above
i think they've finally come
the halcyon days

I'm crawling now up
towards the sound
vengeance moves so swiftly
i've conquered fear
i've shed my tears
now i'm seething, barely breathing

now i see a light
shining from above
i think they'vbe finally come
the halcyon days

Don't ask for explanation. Well you can ask, I won't guarantee the answers. Anyway, thanks for the time, and spit the intelligence at me.
