It's atypical neurolognorosis I tell ya...

11:55 am - MEET THE NEW YEAR 1/2/09

same as the old year? I hope not.
This is the year that I will get unstuck.

2008 already seems far away, a distant memory. Like a receding shoreline pounded by the waves or a receding hairline.

2008 was the year that the brilliant VESID personnel demanded a return-to-work order after a routine vertigo "attack." Again, I ask, WHAT WORK? Since I don't wish to beat that particular dead horse anymore, I shall leave that one dangling.


2008 was also the year that my dad moved three times. He moved from his home with his almost ex-wife #3 to a pullman apartment to our home in the middle of nowhere and then back to his home with his almost ex-wife #3.

I learned a lot of things when my dad was living here for a couple months. Some of those
things I didn't wish to learn and some I did.

My dad succeeded where no one else had since my accident-- I learned how to maintain a
simple house-cleaning schedule. Now I wish I could have had him visit after my accident.
Earlier after my accident rather. At any rate, the house is slowly rising from the plague of
the dust bunnies.

The other things I learned are more of a private nature and thus I will not record them here.


2008 was the year that I discovered Second Life (tm to Linden Labs). Second Life is total eye candy to someone like me who loves visual effects and animations. Over there I've been learning a bit of simple scripting and some 3D building. That is the part that makes Second Life different from blogging.


My goals for 2009:
to remain abstinent as defined in the program of Narcotics Anonymous.
to complete my book and submit it.
to remain married and faithful.
to increase our financial stability as a couple and mine as me.
to continue to monitor my health proactively.
to blog on any of the blogger blogs twice a week and on the journal blogs once a week.
to address the things that I allow to keep me stuck.

I hope for everyone a well new year. And if not a well one, then at least a weller one.

02:18 am - sapphoq's predictions for 2008

or, if Jeanne Dixon and [Bad username: nebris can do it, then dammit so can I... JANUARY: Part of downtown Jerusalem will be destroyed by bombing. FEBRUARY: Pakistan will become a bloodbath.  The elections will be fixed.  People will riot and be shot to death by the militia on the streets. MARCH: Pope Benedict will make some asinine proclamation about all scientists who are Roman Catholic must follow his dictates at their jobs and not engage in stem cell research or genetic research. APRIL: An outbreak of botulism will occur in Atlanta, Georgia. MAY: President Bush will have surgery for inflamed hemorrhoids. JUNE: Jimmy Carter will die in his sleep. JULY: O'Hare Airport in Chicago will be forced to close for three days shortly after the fourth of July due to a bomb threat and the finding of a suspicious substance by a bomb dog named Boozer or Hoosier. AUGUST: Britney Spears will die from blood poisoning.  Traces of heroin will be found in her system and five empty bottles of whiskey in her hotel room next to her bed and in a drawer. SEPTEMBER: OCTOBER: News of the impending divorce of Hill the Pill and Bill will be leaked to the public in spite of precautions to keep it a secret. NOVEMBER: The Republicans/Conservatives/Dominionists will win the election which shall be close. DECEMBER: Sinead O'Connor will get married and no one will give a shit. spike I remember reading Jeanne Dixon's predictions at the end of every year for the next one in the newspapers.  Her track record wasn't all that good and I suspect mine won't be either. sapphoq on life ]
