They Stole My Name

9 years ago I registered the domain name sirjorge.com and after a few years I lost the name. I blamed my ex for it, she had control of the money, I had been brainwashed into thinking that I was in the movie Casino, and trusting someone with everything that you have serves as a mistake, when you need to maintain your professional career. Then again, what career did I have? At the time it was non-existence, as the hell hole that is Moscow, Idaho is a place where dreams die hard. They turn educated men into janitors, and while an honest day's work for an honest day's pay is great, it seemed nearly impossible to land a gig.

Living in Los Angeles, I've had to turn down work, as I get hit with offers all the time, including an offer to buy my name back.

Sirjorge.com had expired, someone wanted to broker it to me, and after careful consideration I realized that the absorbitent price was not worth it, and so someone else got it. Someone that has nothing to do with anyone named or advertised in the manner that I created 9 years ago. But what does it matter now?

I still have my domain name at sirjorge.net, so it really is just something that gets thrown into the air and shot down.

My cat Harvey keeps talking, so I will end it at that. Whoever has my dot com, good luck with it, it brought me great heights at one point.

Crush

I remember having a crush on Katie Orr. That was in high school. That was 11 years ago. On this Monday morning, I realize that the ounces of courage I was developing back then, were waiting for me oh so many years later.

Now that I'm 100 billion times more confidence in who I am, and what I do, the tables are far gone. My friend once told me that she liked me, but I screwed it up by doing what I'm doing now, for a living.

Writing.

I should have stuck to my guns, but nope.

Listening Noise Ratchet's cover of "Crush" from "Pop Goes Punk volume 1" reminds me of the one that didn't necessarily get away, as much as the one that I didn't even build a bridge for. I remember this one time we went to see a show at the Troubadour...that was my chance right? Should've taken it.

Regards are forever, and this one is not a forever thing, it wasn't, it isn't whatever.

Weird how a picture does in fact speak volumes...beauty like that is fleeting...I tell myself, as if that is really going to change how I feel.

I was amidst a passionate day dream with this image, person, icon, and then it's swiftly snuffed out by my cat Harvey. He is waiting for me, reality is far much better than my teenage crushes...but even he must know what it is like to see the past, present and future from a two way mirror. This is going into the darkness, and I'm sure she, you, or anyone else won't read it.

Debating Television

Should I Sign Up For Cable?

I have lived without cable television for a while now, but as the baseball season looms I once again have to contemplate whether not I want to get the system again. I do want to see the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim play a great deal of games, and am always fascinated to see when the Mariners are in town, but what about the cost? I have weighed the cost and it’s reasonable, and yes, I can afford it and then some.

The Book Argument

One argument that I have for myself is in regards to the books that I’m currently reading. I have a stack of books to read and don’t seem to find enough time in my days to get through them all. I try to but I am pulled into so many other directions that it is not necessarily an easy thing to get done.

Sports

Despite what anyone says about sports, I love them and I even like professional wrestling. It’s with that in mind that I am thinking about getting cable once again. I like other shows and the DVR option sounds appealing, but getting sports on regular television is somewhat of a difficult task. March Madness is getting ready to start and last year I missed out on most of the games, which was lame, but this time around I might be able to catch most if not all of them. I am especially interested in seeing Spokane’s Gonzaga play as they are ranked #1 right now.

I’m debating it still, I’m not sure which way I should lean, we’ll see.
