social what?

remember back in april when i returned from little rock and i vowed to get me some sort of a social life? tonight i looked around me and i said to myself, wow, this here sure resembles something akin to a social life, it really does. it doesn't involve single malt scotch or making out but i am hanging out with a bunch of friends and we are eating burritos and taking pictures in the park and then a couple of them are coming over to my house for tea and we are chatting it up and making each other laff and laff... it really is quite nearly indistinguishable from a social life. so i call my little experiment a success.

here's a picture of me having a little fun with my friend kevin in the park this evening. i don't know why i did this to him, it just happened. by the way, kevin made trick of the week on hooping.org this week!!! for a video i shot and posted on nohohoops.org and on youtube right before i left for new york. somehow somebody spotted it and decided it should go up there. it made our day.



this evening after trying to accomplish all the tasks i could for the day and so on i went to a meeting at city hall re: the future "redesign" of pulaski park. this is where i met up with a bundle of my peers and proceeded to have a bundle of fun. but the meeting itself wasn't fun. there was a feeling of fatality in the air re: the hilton garden in from hell which seems bound and determined to be installed in pulaski park and is going to totally fuck up our downtown. there are two lawsuits against the hotel group and the planning commission, but still it acts like a done deal. i saw the developer sitting in the meeting. he is a very nice guy but that doesn't change the fact that what he is doing is WRONG.

anyway... i'm coming down with some sort of cold and i feel like crap. this sucks. no wonder i felt so depressed and horrible all day. i thought it was just me going through my regular cycle of being happy and then losing all hope of ever feeling happy again. now i think maybe i really just need to get a lot of rest. i have sooooo much to do but maybe tomorrow i shouldn't push myself to get up too early. well i have to go now, and check out kevin's newest blog additions for the nohohoops.org site and see if i have the energy to stick them up there. notice how i did my own blog first. that's because i'm selfish. and writing about myself comes more naturally than reading about someone else. i kind of hope that nobody is reading this. that's why i have it up in a totally public place.
