hello world. again it has been about 2 weeks since i have been on here.. well i had a good xmas...got some cards in the mail this year and got some back as well. it was nice to hear from my peps up north. went to pasco county to see mum and sis and nieces for the day. sis down here was up in asheville so i was running the office...or should say i have been running the office. i was busy last week...but today there was no phone calls at all...it was dead. i left about 1pm or so..

well my next adventure is this weekend. here i was last week with nothing on the calendar for the next year. well i get this email note from the alumni chapter down here in tampa. well it seems that there are some louisville based businesses that have bought up chunks of seats for the gator bowl. all we have to do is ask for them and they are free. i was like well i can not make it there...then later in the day i was like...what the hell. it is only a 4 hour drive. so i sent an email and sure enough i got 2 tickets waiting for me....damn nice. i am off to jacksonville for the new years and the game is on the 2 of jan. man i must be living right or something. it ought to be nice....so i leave this saturday and will report on this next week. i promise.

other than that..i am fine. kinda of bored with life...but maybe that will change soon. went out this weekend and just was tired of being out with myself...so i came home early....both nites.

but life does go on...until next time....much peace and love...me

i had not realized i have been away for about a month now. not good. i will try to do more in the future....i am doing well. working hard. i will be working a lot over the upcoming xmas break. boss and sis are out of town so i will be in charge...shortly. that is.

i have seen my doctor in the mean time. my tcells went up to 276 from like 201. so they did not go up too far. or as far as i would have liked. i have been this alternative stuff now for like 3 months and i am not sure it is doing anything for me. there are others in the program that have had a big increase in their tcells. i will stay on it and see what happens. my viral load is still undetectable. so that is good. i am doing the one week on drugs and one week off drugs. the doc does not know about it. i feeling mostly well these days. another holiday without my zoe, but i am managing. still no one in my life....but i am alright with that. i can still watch football in my underwear...lol. not that i do that often...if ever.


i have adopted 2 cats or kittens i should say. 1 girl and 1 boy. they are named of course...frodo and sam...with the girl being sam for samatha....i like them and they seem to like me. how can they not...lol.

been doing a lot of soul searching lately. i am not sure if that is good or not. i spend a lot of time alone....so i think a lot. there is nothing to report though. in case you were waiting for some earth shattering news....lol.


well more about U2. since this was the first show that i had to pay for. let me tell you the stories behind each one..

the first show...was in 1988 or 89. their joshua tree tour. this girl i had just started to date, had another date with some one else on friday nite of that weekend. so i was like ok go and see...not really i was a little po'ed. but i got over it. well she was a party with this dude and was in the restroom where this girl had U2 tix she had won from the radio. bingo...miss B got them and called me the next day...saying we were off to see U2 the very next day...real cool. and it was a great show.

so then in may 97 or 98, zoe and i had bought tix. we were going to see there no matter what the costs. so we got our tix and they were for a show in columbus, oh at the state university football stadium....a huge place. the horsehoe for those football fans...well since the show was in columbus i did not know how long it would take to drive up there...so we left kinda early for a 730pm show. we left at 1pm and it only took about 3 hours from louisyville. so we got in town early. needless to say. where we had picked up a radio station in town before we got there. and the station said "finds us in the parking lot and we will bump up your seats for the show." we were like hell yeah. we knew we had nosebleed seats in the way back....so sure enough we found the station. we thought we might exchange our seats for theirs, but they were like you all came up here from louisville....here are 2 tickets. and they did not take ours...cool. so we were able to turn around and sell our tix before the show. no chit. so this past concert was the first U2 show i had to pay for. and let me tell you that i did try to win tix at 2 different events. but that is for another blog. at the ohio show we were able to leave the show and come back. we went out and got high....there was a lot of security around in the show...so we did not feel right about it.

again another story. me and zoe had some great times together...there is also the time she won $6000 on a scratch off ticket in louisville. no chit again. i will blog that down next time or real soon in the future.

i love you zoe and miss you and to all those others folks out there...well more peace and love to you all. capt. cosmos...
