The first last anniversary

Today, January 14, is Pierce’s 28th birthday. It’s also the one year anniversary of Joellen’s passing. Yep, the same day.

Diana and I drove up to Columbia to surprise Pierce at his birthday dinner, and it worked fabulously. Later in the night I also had a couple drinks from his Blue Label birthday present, which has helped make this 22 hour day totally worth it.

At one point, Pierce’s roommate asked if I had any embarrassing Pierce stories to tell. Of course, burrito, being the most famous, had been told to death. Besides a couple other anecdotes, I had nothing substantial to add to the lore.

I spent 5 years of my life with Pierce, with him far more than I probably should have. Where have all the stories gone?

And what about all of the other stories from my youth and my during my now? Who is going to remember these things and what happens when the memories are gone?

Jonathan’s top Pre photos of 2010-ish

In case you can’t tell, I’m working the Sunday shift and bored. Terribly bored.

But boredom stimulates my creativity! So here are my best photos of 2010-ish, as shot by my increasingly worthless Palm Pre. Click for the Flickr gallery.

2011 will be my b-word

I made one New Years resolution in 2010.

And I failed.

I was going to buy a straight razor, learn how to use it, learn how to care for it and learn how to be a better man. Alas. I did begin Aikido this year, which seems like the sort of thing people would normally add to a list, so maybe that can become my retro-active accomplishment.

On to 2011! This year I will do many things, but here are two I’m going to measure: Learning javascript and CSS. But for real. I can read and troubleshoot both of those languages, but I don’t have a thorough understanding of either. So there it is. My geek-tastic list.

While speaking of goals, Diana has decided that January 2011 will be entirely meat-free. Since I am such an awesome, loving and flawless husband, I have decided to accept the task of making vegetarian dinners for us both.

And for lunch, BACON EVERY DAY.
