Milky, if you see this, I'd gladly have a pizza delivered to your party if I knew where it was. I'll hoist a glass in your name tonight--Here's to your day. |
 | ed [email] said at 1:06 AM 01-31-2004:
I love you, Milky. Hang in there. |

I LIVE, therefore, I survive. Being engaged and being concerned with her more than my friends (like Craig and Ed) caused more problems than needed. I AM free.
Jake, Ed...I salute you for being there with me. Praise you like I shhhooooullllddd.... |

Count your blessings, man. Marriage is a total fucking lie-trap. Don't let the romantic idealist in you talk you into grieving. Hoist a glass to the god of luck and say THANK YOU. |

Hate the playa, don't hate the game. Marriage is absolutely great, if one finds the right person with whom to enter the matrimonial state. |

Hours, 'Superman,' 48 ounces of beer, 8 shots (or six?) of vodka and a hangover later and I'm fine.
I've had a great last 10 days, btw. I started drinking last night, realised I wasn't bummed about the change of events and, hey, just kept drinking and watching 'Superman.'
What the hell, ya know... |

It was a fun party, peeps. Will you guys coulda showed up. I watched 'Smallville' today in between naps. |
Michael said at 11:47 PM 02-01-2004:
This is sort of insensitive and off-subject, but have you guys noticed that Everybody seems to be breaking up lately? Seriously, I just broke up with my gf of several years, and I have like 4 friends who also just broke up after long relationships, and I've heard about what seem to be a ton of breakups lately. I think there's something in the air... |

I guess we're not economically viable, not future material. |
Michael said at 12:20 AM 02-02-2004:
Well, in my case, it was her that wasn't 'future' material... but I kinda have a theory (the 9/11 hypothesis) that a lot of relationships that sort of solidified near 9/11 were because people (chicks) didn't want to be alone, and now that the terror has disipated (sp) everybody's breaking up. My theory. |

This year will be better. I'm going to the movies and having cake and ice-cream! The cake is already baked and I search for the ice-cream today. Throw in some comic books and I'll then write about it in my journal. With pictures. |

This year needs to be better.
We're rapidly approaching two years since Barb passed on, and I'm damned if I can point out any single thing that's better than it was a year ago. Or two, for that matter.
I'm getting tired. But hopeful. |

I just got back from having cake and ice cream with my grandmother and watching "Catch Me If You Can." She had the ice cream, I brought good sized hunks of freshly baked cake. Sort of an impromptu thing. I always told her I'd come by with a movie one Saturday and it'd be just me and her. She liked the movie but said it was a bit long (over two hours...). I declare the second annual wedding party a success.
Ed, you know I love you and other people do as well. People you've met in the last two years. That's at least one thing that's better. And your job is pretty sweet to you. And then you work with tha kids! |

I love spending time with my grandparents. Cake, ice cream, and a movie with grama sounds like a lot of fun. |

| ed [email] said at 6:09 PM 01-29-2005:
Oh, I love working (playing) with my four-year-old friends like nothing else in this world. So that's definitely better.
But I loved my wife a million times more than that, and she's not here anymore.
So yeah. There's a gain in the playing with kids department, but overall, there's a huge defecit.
It's kinda like the whole "war on terror" thing.
I hate to equate personal experiences with political beliefs, but it really is true. Pointing at one good thing (elections, yay!) does not counteract a horrible thing (anyone who goes to the polls is potentially a target for an insurgent attack). Unless you live on Planet Bush, of course. |

small consolation that Barb's not around to see all this? |

| ed [email] said at 6:19 PM 01-29-2005:
PS - as presented, and as you replied, yes: I can find things that are way better than they were a year or two ago.
My previous, and despairing-sounding, reply was to the Big Picture, which is not what I had invoked.
You are totally correct in pointing out that the greatest joy in my life (as of this moment) is the time I spend with preschoolers. No, this isn't as much joy as I got spending time with my Soulmate... but it's more fun than I was having a year ago. And that was the topic of discussion.
Something that's better than it was last year - or two years ago.
Thanks, as always, Milk. For the perspective I needed. |

Having cake and ice cream with my grandmother, while watching 'Catch Me if You Can,' is one of the best memories of my life. It makes the last few years laughable. No matter what has happened since late 2003, nothing can tarnish the time I spent with my grandmother...it's almost as if that memory outshines everything. |

| ed [email] said at 7:40 PM 01-30-2006:
Can I tell you twice in one thread that I love you (without being totally gay)?
Because this is exactly the post/comment thread that I needed to read right now.
Y'know what? Life is pretty freakin' good, right now. I need to remember that. Now, and in the future. |
recent soulmate jane said at 3:07 AM 02-01-2006:
Those bright good memories make it all worth it-life. Maybe all the shit and breakups just give it contrast. I hope to keep trying to make some more 'best' memories with my life and with love. |
