all is fair in love, and we're in love.

new website--please update.

the horses used to run faster

my horse lost the ky derby. i thought buzzard's bay would pull through in the end, but no. i should have expected this.

sarah silently returned the spare key to me, while scott told me half a story about a dead raccoon. i wish this metaphor made more sense.

sloane and david met me for coffee, and introduced me to her hot friend. i wish i wasn't so shy all of the time.

everyone at the bar is drinking mint juleps. i remember my grandmother, smoking cigarettes and watching the horses. i wish that poem wasn't about you.

crushing defeat at windswept fields.

so, i now have a weekly tennis date. the joy that this brings me is beyond explanation, especially since monster plays just like me, with lots of cursing and a minimum amount of skill. we played yesterday afternoon, and then had a post-tennis beer, during which i told everyone at the bar that i had kicked her ass, which may or may not have actually been true. the truth is so arbitrary, these days.

so i know that blog posts have been less frequent lately. i'm just going through a transition of sorts, point a to point d, i think, and don't really know how to document the in between. there is a chance that the new blog will be live as soon as tonight, which will make things much more interesting. if you go to www.jagermeta.com, all of your wildest dreams will come true.

i am realizing that making new friends is going to have to be a priority this summer. yes, i have friends, but may of them are leaving for central america and points north and west of here. i feel that i've done some good work reclaiming some friends i lost, so we'll see if i can continue that and turn it into something bigger better faster more.

heading out to get lunch at maartens... i'll be back, with more different stories to tell, and more and more and more and more and more.

WHEREAS, Uncle Rico's football skills are a testament to Idaho athletics

the scariest thing is that i think that this is actually real. this is too good to be true. i now have faith in government again, finally.

more possible new blog titles... seriously, vote!

hyper-sensitive.com
jagermichael.com
overly-punctuated.com

i think those are the final three contenders... please, someone pick the one that they like most. i love them all very very very very much.

writing about writing about writing.

so, i had a conversation with rusty the other day about how i have become so entwined with my blog that i, from time to time, do things specifically to write about them in my blog, so that they will make interesting entries. i realized as i was having this conversation with him that i was doing that also solely to write about it later. my life has become more meta than meta. it's funny. when i was a kid, i would have thought that i would be continually trying to become more metal than metal. just drop the l, little michael.

i share a birthday with several individuals. my friend margaret from high school, my friend rob from the bar, sadaam hussein, and now, brynn's new horse. not a bad bunch of folks. i would gladly be smoked out of any spiderhole to get together with at least two or three of those people.

my new blog will have comments. meta-meta will definitely be one of them. okay, off to do more laundry and preparing to ignore someone. rock.

so, some of you may have noticed that i kind of stopped writing in here for a while. it wasn't deliberate, i've just been busy. i've been catching up on emails and age. at some point thursday, i turned twenty four. it was nice. my friends bought me shots of jager. i don't know how many i had. somewhere between nine and fifteen. there is still some discussion as to the precise number. it was good to be around the people that i love.

friday, to celebrate my birthday, j took me and eric and kaitlyn to his friend's apple store, and loaded us up with goodies. i am so so so lucky to have friends like this. also, i am so lucky to see the faces on the apple store employees when j just walked into the back room, and the manager didn't mind. it's nice to have such strange experiences every now and again.

so, there is a small chance that the blog may go on hiatus for a while. i am contemplating making it a real blog, buying a domain name and some server space, and learning to use movable type. wouldn't that be killer? if anyone has any suggestions for a domain name, please let me know. it's either going to be skinny-and-unloved.com, or jagermichael.com. they both mean so much to me. there is another possibility, hypersensitive.com, but i haven't checked to see if that domain is available. hmm, sounds like a project for tonight.

i am in a sticky situation with an amazing girl. there are two sides to this coin, the what-i-want side, and the what-i-have-to-do side. it keeps landing on the edge. is there any middle ground? doesn't look like it.

well, yes, i'm back. i have a real entry i've been working on in my moleskine; that will probably be posted later tonight. sorry for any delays.
