Friggen Sweet!

SO how fkn cool is the voice IM function of AIM?!??!?!
Yeah, I know I'm behind the curve, but I;m here not aren't I? Yes and I'd just had a conversation with oout typing nor making a call... click, connect and chatter! Felt like I was using the speaker phone next to my computer... so easy and fricken schweeet!

As you know, I have recently joined the rest of the working world and picked up an iPod.... but yesterday I hooked up a Tivo that I have acquired at a steal and now my [media] life is nearly complete... :) Throw in a girlfriend and i might just explode with happiness and completion! :)

The Revolution Will Be Re-broadcast...

Just returned from seeing Spiderman 2 - but I'll come back to that.


See, I've just joined the rest of the world in getting an ipod.
I've been the first in my clique before to have mp3 players and the like... cameras
but this one haunted me... 3 billboards in 14 miles to Torrance kinda way.
wanted forever... although them somewhat cool looking.
The advertised silent and personal joy in the streets enticed me to no end.
knowing that only I am hearing this music - so clearly - and I alone am enjoying it to the max.
Like no one else.. loving it, learning it, writing about it.feeling it as I should - as a consumer of it.
AND, and I get to replay it when ever I wish to! Hey YA! Hell yeah.... how cool is that? Awesome right.


Well I'm back in the pack with my pals.. slow albeit. but this time I do as I do. I am the Palaima I have created. and I have better toys to add my ipod too - namely a set of Chatterbox communicators... MUSIC on a motorbike...
THAT is the stuff MORE music is written about... a generator of creativity.. and fusion reactor (there you go, Spidey fans) .. I knew I used to love music. and even before I fill it up with mp3s, I am in love again!
And tonight, now, I am drawn to write about this all because of KCRW and a song in the radio.
No ipod, I know.. I was in company, have to be social :)
But a Prince tune was playing - so we think it was Prince.. it was the hott that I remember it. Before I ever had sex, detailed, sexy to both sexes and casual. Music that took me away - all the way to my keyboard....
er, ah, realization that I am blogging now., er... um.. abort, Ramen time! Good night..

Sometimes the best thing in the world to have is...

Friends.
When you don't need them, when you don't expect to see them. When you expect nothing of them, they're there for you and sometimes provide.
So very often I am the provider of cheer/favors/wisdom or support - I totally apreciate it when someone I know is simply nice to me. Especially when you don't see them that often.
I have just a few friends, actualy a handful of friend like that throughout the states, and I wish that I thought of them more often - then again, I'm glad I don't wear out my welcome... they all great people in my book. I hope you think you all know who you are and enjoy my stupor tonight.

thank you for being a friend. -ap

Unless ones life pov changes regularly...

..you come around to seeing the tv shows you once loved as a child again in syndication, and dislike the reality it WAS. First Cheers was under fire in this household, and now Northern Exposure.. booo. Sometimes I really hate growing up and/or seeing re-runs of the shows that shaped my "perception" of societal norms and perplexities. I liked thinking they were great show and that noone understands me.... to find out how lame/boring/stale or generally lame a show is such does suck. And I used to identify with Joel and loved Maggie too! Maybe seeing a second re-run will change my mind again....

Cherry on Top?

Hell yeah it is!!!
Stumbling upon a free Lenny Kravitz concert after the XGames tonight... WOW!
What a friggin day... started around 9 am wi the the dualing asshole gardeners and construction in the apt above mine... then to the Xgames Home Depot Venue... Then to seem Nyquist, Danny Way, Dave Mirra, Hawk , Burnquist, Hawkins, Dias, Pastrana, Lasek, Metz and more more more... I have simply seen TOO much stuff today! Can't wait to tsee the photos! Top that with hot chicks from 16 to 60, and I have found heavan! If we could carve out an eigth day if the week, it NEEDS to be Xday !!!! wow!

Testing, testing

MO: new story posted

For those of you that read my site from work, we just posted our next story about a rebuilt TZ 750. Enjoy!
I'll try posting to here each day we post a new item to the site as a cross-over. It IS a subscription site however, so if you're really into motorcycle, please support your friend Alfonse by coughing up the measily 12$ to read my work. I thank you in advance!!!!

Well, I tried.

I've just returned from a hellatious trip to the Eastern Sierras - an attempt at summitting the highest point in the contiguous United States.... 14.453 ft above sea level. I've only made it to 13,880 feet before I got too sick and rain and darkness threatened our safe return. WOW... what a hike. Expect to hear and see more from me on this.... first I need to catch up on a week of MO work. :)
