I just don&#8217;t feel inspired.  I feel tired, I feel beat-down, I feel defeated.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t stop thinking about my mom.  I feel angry about her death.  I feel like she was cheated.  I can hear her saying, &#8220;Hey!  Excuse me?  I wasn&#8217;t done yet.&#8221;  It&#8217;s not fair.  I just want my mom back.<\/p>\n<p>The weather is changing finally, and that&#8217;s a good thing (for me, anyway).  I love Fall the most.  I like the longer nights, the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves.  When that wind starts blowin&#8217; in Hayward I know that Fall is here.  My mom liked Fall too.  She, like me, hated the heat.  Thankfully we are blessed with mild Summers here in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>So I finally got a personal fitting for some new golf clubs.  This is something I&#8217;ve been wanting to since I started playing the game way back when I was 12 years old.<\/p>\n<p>You see, every set of golf clubs I&#8217;ve ever owned were stock, vanilla golf clubs.  That is, golf clubs that are made for the &#8220;average&#8221; person&#8211;about 5 feet 10 inches tall.  Well, that doesn&#8217;t work for me.  I&#8217;m 6 feet 4 inches tall.  When I swung those regular-guy clubs I had to hunch over all weird-like.  As a result I&#8217;ve always sucked with my irons.<\/p>\n<p>So I got fitted, and my new clubs are on the way.  Extra long steel shafts, slightly tilted angle on the club face, and extra wide\/large grips for my oversized paws.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.touredge.com\/products\/mens\/qlirons.html\">And here they are&#8230;<\/a>  I&#8217;m so excited about getting my new clubs.  AND I&#8217;m very excited to play again.  Finally I&#8217;m going to have some clubs that are made for ME.  Now I just have to wait another week for them to come in =(<\/p>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s after midnight and I&#8217;m still up, imagine that.  I guess it&#8217;s Halloween.  So, Happy Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found a classical guitarist and his name is <a href=\"http:\/\/allmusic.com\/cg\/amg.dll?p=amg&#038;sql=41:14769\">Julian Bream<\/a>.  I&#8217;ve been &#8220;acquiring&#8221; the albums he&#8217;s recorded over the past few decades.  My favorite so far is &#8220;Guitar for Relaxation&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve fallen alseep to that album almost every night since I found it.  He&#8217;s absolutely amazing.  It&#8217;s so relaxing.  When I listen to his albums I feel like I&#8217;m floating on a cloud.  He plays the lute, too.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Claim Jumper in Fremont tonight for dinner.  It was a strange experience.  Cindy used to work at the Claim Jumper in Long Beach.  We used to go there for lunch\/dinner several times a week.  Everyone at CJ&#8217;s loved her.  We always had fantastic food and superb service.  CJ has been one of my all time favorite restaurants for a very long time.  But it was an odd, sad night for me at the CJ in Fremont.  I couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about Cindy.  We had such good times at CJ&#8217;s in Long Beach.  Sitting in the bar at the CJ in Fremont  I couldn&#8217;t enjoy my meal.  I just wanted to finish ASAP and get the fuck out of there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a hacker.  I stay up late at night on my computer and read all your e-mail.  I break into your home computer and look at your web browser&#8217;s history (90% porn, usually).  I do my best pirating after 3am.  I havne&#8217;t paid for a movie or an album in YEARS.  I make people&#8217;s computers do magic tricks.  I hack the planet.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll go to The Bistro tonight with li&#8217;l Deb-deb.  I miss my sister.<\/p>\n<p>When I was 20 years old I was stuck in Japan in the Navy.  I had an electric Yamaha bass.  I wanted to be in a band.  I sucked.  I also had a crappy old classical guitar that my friend Dan found in the garbage.  I could only play 5 chords.  Needless to say, I sucked.  I sold the bass, I still have the classical guitar.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gained 100 pounds since I graduated from High School.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly don&#8217;t care if I ever shoot a deer.  I mostly just like to go up to the mountains with my friends for a week and drink warm Captain Morgan&#8217;s by the campfire.  Some hunting success would be nice, though.  I do enjoy eating venison.<\/p>\n<p>Before I die I want to spend at least a month in Egypt seeing everything I possibly can.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a kid I wanted to be Indiana Jones.  It&#8217;s the only thing I can ever remember wanting to be.  I never wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or a fireman or a policeman.  I wanted to be Indiana Jones.  I wanted to go on adventures, discover fabulous artifacts, defeat the bad guys, and in the end get the girl.<\/p>\n<p>I just want to live the rest of my life in peace.<\/p>\n<p>I love the rain.<\/p>\n<p>I miss Chico.  I was truly happy there.  I should have never left.<\/p>\n<p>I look a lot like my grandfather, Earl Culbertson.<\/p>\n<p>I have three dots tattooed at the base of my thumb.  It cost me five dollars in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>My laptop is one of the best purchases I&#8217;ve ever made.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently re-reading Homer&#8217;s &#8220;Iliad&#8221; for the 5th time.  The Ancient Greeks were cool-ass motherfuckers.<\/p>\n<p>Cindy was right.  I don&#8217;t want a girlfriend.  I don&#8217;t even want to date.<\/p>\n<p>When my father smiles it creeps me out.  I know he&#8217;s faking it.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in the 8th grade some kid called me a loner.  I&#8217;m still a loner.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a 6-4 Impala.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On The Town&#8221; is one of my favorite movies.  Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra&#8230;  they don&#8217;t movies like that anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care what people think about me.  I don&#8217;t pretend to be someone I&#8217;m not.  I know who I am.  And I&#8217;m OK with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haven&#8217;t felt like writing lately. I just don&#8217;t feel inspired.
