George Michael's "Freedom"

I, much like many other human beings, love sleep. I did four loads of laundry yesterday, and also made my bed with the new sheets I bought a month ago (procrastination at its finest). I also went ahead and changed the drapes to my window. Waking up this morning was a pleasant experience, and as I was leaving for the office I looked upon my unmade queen-sized bed of crisp and soft new sheets. I felt guilty for the conversation we had the other day, and even guiltier for wanting/needing to sleep alone. But I have to be honest with you, I love to sleep alone. Sleep supersedes any other human function for me, including eating brownies and watching Bret Michaels make an ass out of himself on basic cable on a weekly basis. It's not personal, not that I don't enjoy your company because I don't spend time with you out of any other reason than that I truly want to. I just don't want to roll over and wake up startled that I no longer have the use of 60% of my bed. It's like being downgraded from a five-star deluxe suite to a shared room with a twin bunk bed in a youth hostel. You will still have my attention during waking hours, and yes of course I still like you.

And with that said, I will leave you with George Michael's "Freedom"



Regardless of the supermodels, just check the lighting on this and tell me it's not one of the best videos made.

The Presets - Are You The One?

I love how this vid descends into further weirdness as it progresses. Also, the visual handclaps, terror pose, and fake cry cry in the beginning obviously gets points from me.

Jimmy, this is for you luv. x

Thank G for Battles

Catch them if you can!

OFFICE - The Ritz

Sending hugs over cyberspace doesn't hurt.

My dad's sister (Aunt Imelda) came home yesterday from a weekend trip with her friends to find my Uncle Eddie had passed away during her absence. Though he was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago, he was in remission and as far as I'm told it's unclear what caused his death.

My Aunt Cora (who is my dad's brother and my favorite Uncle Ralph's wife) called me yesterday to tell me that Uncle Eddie had passed. And not only that - their dog passed away during the weekend as well.

Of all my cousins, I'm probably closest to my cousin Mark (both in age, career, and interest) - and Uncle Eddie was his father. I called him yesterday as soon as I found out. He was on a train back home to Philadelphia from Baltimore, where he was on a business trip. He sounded fine when he picked up the call - and then when he heard it was me and we began to talk he slowly started sobbing, which is what I found so heart wrenching... He seems better today, and says that, "Everything is going smoothly." The funeral is in a suburb of Philly on Saturday at 11am. I'm looking for flights right now.

All this might be very factual, but I'm so numb right now that the facts are all I have to give.

If you've read this, I don't mean to make you sad. I just want you to reach out to someone(s) in your family and let them know you're thinking about them and love them and send them hugs, even if over the phone/email/etc.

Biggest hugs and lots of love from your friend Celeste.


Somewhere on the east coast in the 1970s.
Mark Cruz, Uncle Eddie, and Celeste Tabora.
