16 years ago,

i had not lived 16 years.

i was 15 then,

now almost 32.

2 decades

4 presidents

16 years later,

i've almost lived 16 years twice.

i still can't grasp that enough to write an entire blog about it.

Gone, again

2010-09-04T00:19:00.001-07:00

What was it that made me want to write? At what point in my realizing that there was no pen and paper available; that typing (here) on my black berry would be the only way for me to concisely convey thoughts--did my EGO become involved?

I lost it all.

No clue what INSPIRED me to write.

The battle continues.....

i'm not sure how many of you are still out there, but i know that if you are reading this, you are one of a few because i'm not announcing my return to blogging. first of all, i'm not 100% sure that i am returning to blogging; this could be a one-night impulse to publicly share a part of my"self" with the unknown.

2ndly, [yeah, i really can't believe i wrote "secondly" like that either and so badly do i want to delete it, but some part of me won't let the other, and this (run-on- grammatically-INcorrect) sentence was/is the compromise.] i know that in order for me to actively maintain the blog, MAJOR formatting and content changes must be made.

i can't go back to blogging the way i was before. don't get me wrong : i love [most of] my blog previous, but it was not sustainable.

i was too fixated on entertaining.

on getting readers.

on keeping readers.

all of which are [obviously] important if a blog is to be successful.

successful : (adj) [a word i used to understand]

achieving or having achieved success.

having attained wealth, position, honors, or the like.

but, the problem with my previous blogging is that it primarily stemmed from my ego. i wanted you to like me. and, i know some of you did. some of you may not like the new direction of the blog and i'm not even really sure what that direction is, which is the final reason that i'm not doing a [social-]media blitz announcing "D R A M A R C : http://marcherb.blogspot.com as my updates 10 x's a day = PSYCHO.

not even sure i made a coherent point, but this entry is done [for] now.

Mr. Herb and Miss Pennypacker Lambada...sort of.

I'm an official Californian now. Scary. It only took six years, twenty days, and a police officer forcing me to go to court to prove the validity of my residence with a ca driver's license.

I've now lived in LA longer than I have ever lived anywhere in my entire life. It's a strange feeling I can't fully describe with words. But, somehow this plastic rectangle arriving in the mail is a symbol : I'm here.

Los Angeles is my home.

Dawn Wells Potato Peeling Video

2009-04-26T15:53:00.001-07:00

A customer sent this to me. Not just any customer, but JIM. Jim is at Trader Joe's EVERYday. and by every day, i mean : every single day of the week, at least once,for forty-five minutes--at least. Jim is not in any way annoying. He's actually quite cool. He's in his 70's, very alert, very pop savvy; a retired magician who now puts up special-glow-in-the-dark chemicals on ceilings to make them look like the galaxy when the lights are off. He sent me this video because he thought it was a great way to peel a potato. The fact that he doesn't see why this video is hilarious makes it all the more funny for me. Enjoy.

My First Karaoke

2009-04-16T00:17:00.001-07:00

It may not seem like a big deal to you, but to me, this is huge! Clearly, I'm not a singer. It helped that it was one of my teenage angst songs, as did the vodka cranberries.

Smart Car??

Blogs Coming Soon!

2009-04-05T23:29:00.000-07:00

I have five or six blogs that I need to get ready and post. I just don't have the energy right now even though I really want to post them RIGHT NOW.

I know you're all holding your breathe with anticipation, so I just wanted to check in and tell you to check back Tuesday for a barrage of posts!!

Gay Day

2009-03-26T00:59:00.000-07:00

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week :

it's my saturday
it's my GAY DAY!!!

We get together at 8pm. First up is America's Next Top Model. Then there is some down time, filled with American Idol in the background while dinner is being cooked and consumed.

Next up is Make me a Super Model!!! And, then capping of the night is Rupaul's Drag Race (that we watch from the computer).

Tonight was extra special because it was the season finale of Drag Race. I won't publicly congratulate the winner because if you haven't already I think you should watch the entire season (only 8 episodes!) on logo's website. I promise you won't regret it and once you start, you won't be able to stop!!

Who Knew?

2009-03-19T23:36:00.001-07:00

Apparently, my mother is a huge American Idol fan. She votes for multiple people that she likes and keeps a chart to keep track of who she votes for each week so she can spread her votes out to the people she likes. Quite diplomatic!
