2002 was by most standards a shitty year but it was one of my best. i lost a lot of money but had a lot of sex and gained some special friends.

and i met pax acidus, which was a blast -- it kinda tickled me in the nuts, as a matter of fact. right now, i am re-re-re-reading burnt pizza, and i'll tell you this: i don't normally read books five times. and this is not even a book yet! it is full of ridiculous typos, pretty lunatic ill-logic too, but there is something unusual and special about this work of literature that i can't quite get my thumb on, but i will in 2003!

the only thing to compare with it is ray loriga's "trÃƒÂfero" - don't know whether it has been translated into english but it was one of my best books of 2003. it sucks that he already has a good agent... i will review it for PA soon.

anyway. it was gobsmacking good to meet the Big Mac; supremely pleasant to eat, drink and talk with miz H and her little special K, and more than amusing to drink with Mav and Tony. and sad to miss ms rosie but fate wanted it to be so.

i am going to so many parties tomorrow that i expect to be hung over for at least two days afterwards. you people over there in bushland, you have fun and take care!

It was good meeting you too, Martino! Come back and break my new corkscrew so I can relearn opening a wine bottle like a man.
Keep having lots of sex but stop losing lots of money.
I'm sure I'll throw a drunken new year's post on here before I attempt to go to work on the first, but if I don't:
I hope everyone has fun this New Year's eve! Parties, sex, drugs, rock n' roll, that's what it's about. Fuck resolutions cause I never keep them anyway.

I like the idea of judging the worth of a year by how much sex you had, and how many new and interesting people you met. It's alot better that all that end of the year wrap up crap on tv.

So, I also wish everyone a happy and paxacidian New year, have lots of sex and meet lots of people (not necessarily in that order...)

Shitty year Martino?

That's too bad.

My 2002 was amazing. I started it off last New Year's taking ecstasy and drinking on a beach in Miami... then returned to my home in central London, wrote more great stuff than any previous year, visited Amsterdam, Paris, Stockholm, Loire Valley, Gothemberg (which I can't even spell), met my lovely wife whom I adore, got a Masters of Science degree in Electronic Publishing, saw my best mate in the Evil Heat and his sexy panda girlfriend (who could be the poster child for feline feminitity), got drunk every night, smoked ounces of reefer, gained 30 pounds (13 kilos), and got the job designing web sites that I deserved to have landed 8 years ago. And now live in a mansion in Seattle and pay only $575 per months for it. Ended the year on the beach in San Diego and visited some friends in LA who live in the Hollywood Hills. We ate and drank like kings and then ended the year high on cocaine and drinks watching Earthling? and Queens of the Stone Age play to a sold out crowd.

Goals for 2003?

Stop drinking every day, write even more, lose 30 pounds, get published even in some small insignificant magazine, make money, and maybe finally have sex with a polar bear.

hey, long time no post. thought i'd stop in, see what my boys have been up to. jesus, sloth, you have had quite the year. for months i thought it was probably one of the worst years, but i don't necessarily think so anymore. i'm no longer working my worthless job, i'm back in school (and i am proud to say that i got 4.0 average this past fall quarter. yes it is community college and easy classes but it is not easy to get such high marks with my lack of motivation and an ongoing hangover that has been rolling for about four months now). i've sold two pieces of art (yay!). i didn't know you were married sloth. i didn't even know you are back in seattle. had i known i would have invited you to my holiday parties, they were fun. is mccutcheon still in arizona? i miss you both. cheers~nabi
