I also got a donation for my hosting bill, so thank you lots for that.
And also, I wanted to say Happy Anniversary to Mark in Canada for his one year of podcasting. His podcast is called "Musings of a Tech Writer" and it's quite an accomplishment to be doing the podcasting thing for one full year. A lot of the podcasts don't last past their 10th episode, so congratulations!
Now thinking about it, I am at number 53 and it's taken me almost two years! (You know, counting the break I took from May 2007 until January 2008. So great job with your persistence and dedication, Mark.
I also wanted you all to know that I renewed my domains at idiologic and idiopod for another year. Having said that, I will probably phase out idiopod.com in the next 6 months. What I mean by this is that I will give up on the domain name and store the files at idiologic.com. No immediate plans on quitting yet.
Also, if you're fully interested, you should check out the next version of idiologic. And when you do, you should email me if you find typos and things that don't work! But remember it's not finished yet. :) I'm working on it a little each day to get it done by my 1 year being back podcasting anniversary!
With that being said, I'm outta here. Going back and reading some of my weblog entries has been very interesting indeed!
]]>So...
Happy New Year
...and I hope that 2009 is an awesome year for you.
Hopefully this year will bring on some good changes to my social life. With that being said, I'm off to sleep.

So alright, just an update to let you know how the holidays went. And a few other extras such as:
This podcast is 14 min and 14 seconds long at 6.5 MB. :) Comment with a question or two! Download it here or listen below.
]]>I am busy conjuring up resolutions for next year. Just goals really. I am ready to lose some weight. Or to make sure I'm serious about my Heath I've been ignoring for years.
Anyway this is difficult typing on an iPod so yeah I'm out.

Part 2 of idioPod 51 didn't get done. That is what's up with the title of this episode. It isn't full of lies or anything but I've realized that I talk before I think too much. It's sweet and to the point... if you think I can be to the point in 20 minutes.
I talk about this stuff in almost the correct order order like:
This one is 19 min 38 seconds and weighs in at 9 MB. Download it here or listen below.
]]>One of the things I hate when I'm sleepless is someone telling me to drink warm milk. I wouldn't be able to sleep after I drank that because I'd be throwing up lunch in the garbage. I'm not a fan of warm milk in any form.
I usually find working out before I sleep makes me sleep a bit better. I didn't do it last night but I should.
Oh and I'm watching Cartoon Network and The Mr. Men Show is on. Have I ever told you how much I love this cartoon? I watched the Australian version when I had time. I totally heart Little Miss Chatterbox. Especially the Australian Little Miss Chatterbox.
That's it from me for now.
]]>Right now, I feel tired but I'll go get into bed and be wide awake. When I do that, I reach for the laptop and start surfing. I think that's a lot of my problem.
I know this is going to sound funny, weird, heartless or even stupid, but I had profiles set up with different sites. All of them were upfront about my relationship status, as always, but some were a little bit naughty if you know what I mean. I ditched them, actually. When I would wake up or couldn't sleep, I'd do an infinite loop checking them to see if people responded. I'd have to say about 90% of them were R-rated or worse in nature and I'll admit, I just did it for the attention. Also, I don't ever meet the people that message me. (I rarely respond too especially if the other person sends me a 2 or 3 word message. I hate those.)
So here I am sleep deprived. It's sad that we live in a world where people are so dependent on technology to help us sleep, amuse ourselves and just "live" productive lives. It's hard to peel away from something that amuses me so much! Oh, if Gilbert could hear me say that! But I see what he means... he tells me this on a regular basis.
Needless to say there's a new year starting and it's time to make some goals. Last year's didn't go very well. Where is my drive? I'm hoping to find it this year.
I wasn't feeling very well anyway. Since I've been here in Texas, I have had constant stomach problems. It's like they won't go away. So I sorta did a half-assed job getting myself drunk that night. Drinking's hard to do when even mouthwash makes me want to barf.
Part of it was a FUN Party and if you don't know what it is, it's just a sales pitch to buy overly priced sex toys and junk. Of course, I was a bit reserved at what I would buy because I have to fly back with the stuff in my luggage. I wanted a "Pocket Pussy" which I've always been... um... intrigued with. But I didn't want to have to explain that to the guys who search my luggage. So I bought some lubricant that I thought wasn't going to be sticky. Well it was sticky so I was pretty upset about that. Especially since it was grossly overpriced. In fact, I'm still sticky from it. One of the feelings I hate is "sticky".
Brandi got a 10% cut out of whatever was bought so it's basically why I got it. Plus I didn't see the $30 worth of the pocket pussy. I was thinking it would be like $10 or so. I so would have gotten one. I guess I can find them in Australia.
During that party I was actually told to put some stuff on my dick that didn't work. And also some junk to put on my nipples (because everybody else was so shy) and that didn't work either. Before I had my nipples pierced (which I did about 4 years ago and took them out in 2006 before I flew to Australia one time), I had no sensitivity in them. Now it downright sucks. There has to be some serious suction going on but hey, I get off to that.
After that, we headed to a local diner, ate and went to Brandi's house where I argued with my significant other for about 20 minutes about my dog's living situation then watched the 2nd half of Silence of the Lambs which I've never seen.
So that was last night. I was only about 20% from drinking Midori. Drinking just isn't too amusing anymore. Especially when I feel like throwing up hours later.
One thing I've learned about these experiences is sometimes I wish I was straight enough to get married and have kids. In fact, I had a dream that I had one. But yeah, I don't know when or if that will ever happen.
So that's it. You guys have fun. I hope you learned something here. And now I must go visit my family. :) Bye.
]]>OK, I could keep talking in 2-5 word sentences but I won't torture you like that. I'd like to torture you but that's just not going to happen. I ended up sleeping from about 9:30 pm last night until 1 am today and here it is almost 10 am. I'm a bit tired.
So what kept me up all night? Hey, it snowed here. Awesome. Apparently it started while I was sleeping. I woke up and looked outside in the little light I had and saw snow. Not like a few flakes like what I remember but a blanket of snow. So I got up and built snowmen on my mom and dad's cars. You see, it's not often when it snows here. Sure, a few flakes here and there at the most so people go absolutely crazy when it does happen.
Alright so as I was saying. I woke up and saw Brandi was online. I told her a few hours earlier (before I slept) that there wouldn't be any "real" snow and I was going to sleep anyway. Around 1:30 after I was awake for a while, she asked me if I wanted to go driving around. Yeah, usually, people who aren't used to ice/snow really shouldn't be driving in it. I went anyway to a 24 hour restaurant and ate breakfast which I'm still burping up. We hung out there and I looked like absolute garbage. Like an orphan. I saw some people I went to high school with. It was great. I got back home and went on a snowman making craze again and my hands are still hurting from it. I did get a tiny bit of frostbite.
Like any weirdo with a camera does, I made sure to take pictures. Somehow I only got about 20 of them. A few of those were bad and a few were WTF pictures. But I took some and I posted them up on my picture gallery for the world to see. So if you're interested, the photos are here with a teaser to get you started:
So there you are. I probably should attempt to sleep a bit I guess. Hopefully after all the mushy mess has soaked into the ground.
]]>Over the past week I guess I've had a bit on my mind. A lot of it has to do with my immigration situation which right now, if you didn't know, doesn't look very good. That problem right there is going to cut my "vacation" into half so that I will need to return to Australia sometime shortly after the new year starts. I'm not happy with that.
For the most part, things here have been OK. I'm neither disappointed or upset how things are going. Not good and not too bad. I did make a few plans yesterday that I kind of ignored. My cousin, his wife and child were in town for a bit and I went to see them on Sat. I told them that I'd be by yesterday but didn't do it. I also told my sister that I would be by but didn't do that either. I stayed at home all day (but put up the Christmas tree) and basically just took it easy.
Also what's been bothering me in a way is that I look through my friend's pictures on Facebook and MySpace and see that they have parties on their birthday. I mean, yeah, this year my family was with me on my birthday but I have never had a party with just my friends and me. I still cringe thinking that my going away party had a whopping 3 people at it.
Sad. This time around I won't be having a going away party to save myself the embarrassment. I doubt I'll have the time, but I still want nachos.
idioPod is up for being renewed in about a month so I need to figure out whether I'm going to renew it or not. If not, I'll go ahead and move everything around and redo links and junk.
With this all being said I hope you're all doing OK. I'm tired and lazy and need to sleep.
]]>So anyway, I got the news today that I need to leave the USA about a month earlier than planned. So I guess it's time to make the most out of my time here. Right after I arrived, I got a letter from immigration telling me that I need to give them a few more forms, my police check from the FBI and some more evidence of my relationship with Gilbert. So I am a bit worried now that I might not be able to get to stay in Australia. I can get more done if I go back.
So that's what I know for now. I didn't do a new podcast tonight as expected. Oh well. I didn't drink either. Look for one on Tuesday. :)
That's all I want to say now! Bye.
