Holiday Special Issue
Slowly fading into the realms of reality after being lost among the Wounded Shadows,
within the prison of my own making, my mind.
It's been WAY too long since I posted here and I'll bet people are
wondering just what in all the underworld pergartories happened to me, and why haven't I been posting once a week
like I said I would be so, so long ago. I have my reasons, which I will attempt to spell out here in this special
Holiday, last post of 2004 issue of Toxic Nonsense.
I don't even remember what my last post was about(I'm writing this one offline, and won't bother to check the old
one before posting this), but I know I may have mentioned that some family issues had come up which would take me
off my schedule, and that I wasn't sure about anything anymore. Well, during the time I was off, I made a
promise, and intend to adhere to it, that I would not be online nearly as long as I have been in the past, because
admitting one has a problem is the first step to recovery. I'm addicted to the internet, and have been trying hard to fight it since my
last post. that is why I promised I would not be online as much. I have seet up some time to make a weekly post
here, so that shouldn't be affected too much, barring the unforseen purple monkey invasion. It is something I'm
serious about doing because I try hard to keep the important promises. That reminds me, I have another promise
to keep before I log off here, which I'll get to today. Though it sounds good in theory, it's kind of hard to be
bound by convictions. To want something, and know you can't have it because of a promise can be a tough battle,
but the up front cost is worth more than the weight of the universe in gold if it means you've proven your word
is as good as your deeds. That's my sermon for the issue.
Aside from that, my holidays have been good. Christmas brought it's own blend of spice and excitement(I'd prattle
on about who got me what but that's not important, the thought behind the gifts counts more than the gift itself).
My interest in anime has become part of who I am, and I'm greatful for that. I no longer think they're just
humoring a passing interest hobby of mine. When I get the chance to show them Escaflowne, the first anime I ever
saw, I think that'll tell them so much more than I ever could about why I like anime so much. I do have to mention
the Wok. My sister-in-law got me a wok (part of a stir fry kit with the chopsticks[I taught myself to use
chopsticks about a month ago] the bowls, the wok, and a couple other things). I couldn't resist trying it out in
my own twisted way. I practiced up on my technique with assorted veggies from a party tray we had(carrots,
broccoli, celery) then my first official dish was, and I kid you not , Shitake stir-fry. I was thinking of
Session 17 of Cowboy Bebop when I did that dish, it turned out okay, but I like mushrooms so of course I liked
it.
Anyway, I hope a pleasant and prosperous new year awaits all of us. I know I could use a break after what these
past few months have been. I'm looking into an art class(one of those at hoe learning courses) to hopefully
improve my artistic ability(maybe cut down on the time it takes to do a decent picture). I'll post updates on
that as they come in. Again happy holidays to everyone, and I'll see you next year.
