Maybe I'm addicted, I'm out of control...but you're the only reason I'm trying...
I am so fucking excited that tonight marks the official beginning of the 2009 TV season! TV is truly my first addiction and I don't plan on ever doing anything about it, some of my favorites are coming back: How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, NCIS, Ghost Whisperer and Family Guy to name a few, there is also a show that I just became a fan off over the summer, that one is Bones, and of course Glee goes without saying as being one of my favorite new shows, which was created by the people who brought us Popular a while ago (one of my all time favorite shows) and of course there is the crop of new shows that I am looking forward to seeing: NCIS: LA, Flash Forward, Stargate: Universe, Eastwick and mid season replacement V! Tonight I already saw one of the newer shows I was interested in, and that one is Accidentally on Purpose, which is a sitcom on CBS starring Jenna Elfman, whom I LOVE from one of my ultimate fave shows Dharma & Greg (since I long to meet MY Greg sometime) it was cute, and promising, it has a cute premise: woman breaks up with commitment-phobic boyfriend, has a one night stand with a YOUNG guy from a bar, and gets pregnant with his kid,then ex boyfriend wants to get back together...the pilot was quite promising, but it's still to early to say whether it'll be able to keep bringing the funny week after week. I am just so grateful for my TiVo, and may I just briefly go on and on about my favorite little computer program, Tivo Desktop Plus!!?? What with my busy school/work/meeting schedule I don't always have time to watch ALL the things my TiVo records for me, so I can just transfer whatever show I wanna watch onto my computer and then convert it to an mp4 file so that I can watch it anywhere I take my Zune with me! I love the damn thing, because I have been able to take all the musical numbers from Glee and turn them into little music videos for myself, so fucking fun! Anyway, off I go to watch HIMYM and BBT before bed!

Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day, I'd wanna hear you say I remember you...
A couple of days ago I got some very disturbing news, one of my friends who used to live with me in sober living is going to prison for 20 years. I love this guy very much, and it pains me to even think about what his life will be like for the next 20 years, it scares me straight to be honest. I mean, this man was sweet, smart, had a family, was going to school to get his life back together; but all that changed when he picked up that needle one more time...he apparently was on probation, and the terms of that were that if he ever tested dirty again he would be sent in for 20 years. Situations like these remind me of what could happen to me if I ever decided to put a needle back in my arm, I had heard of this happening to others, but it had never happened to someone that I knew so well. He was my sobriety brother, and a friend. We loved to joke around together, and there was always this flirtation between us that never amounted to anything but still, it was nice to come home and call him “pa'” and have him answer with “hey boy” in that sexy southern drawl of his. I luckily do not have the danger of anything like that looming over me, don't get me wrong I still have a charge waiting for me to take care of, but nothing nearly as serious as that. Thinking of the fact that he will get out when he is nearly 60 really baffles me, I will be nearly 50 when he gets out, I wonder if I will remember him then, I hope I do.
So in his honor, I would like to share a video of one of my favorite hair metal songs, which he loved a great deal...here is this post's title song Skid Row's “I Remember You”.
