so last night was neil diamond at the fleet center. the guy is 60, but he still kicks some major ass. among my favorites that he performed.... cherry cherry, red red wine, forever in blue jeans, i am i said, you don't bring me flowers, girl you'll be a woman soon and so many more. my three favorites were perfectly planned in the beginning middle and end. he opened with coming to America which obviously got everyone crazy. esp during the part "stand up for America..." it was good. and then everyone's favorite bar/karaoke song sweet caroline was pretty much in the middle. he just kept going with that song... "good times never seem so good... SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD..." we sang that over and over and over and over. it was great. rock on neil. and then as part of his encore he did my most favorite favorite song by him cracklin' rosie. i have no idea why i dig that song so much, but i so totally do. i was just totally grooving. doing my thing. it was great. in the section next to us, there were these 6 or 7 guys in bright sequiny shirts. they were nuts. it was funny, cause when they were walking in before the show, everyone in our section started cheering for them. it was so funny. and they're all like "rock on America. God bless America" it was nuts. those are the people in the world, that i love. heh. but the concert was fantastic. neil played for 2 hours straight. yippee. rock on neil.

i really don't think that i'm meant to get to work on time, cause ya know what? i left my apt at like 905... plenty of time to get to work. but guess what, i hit traffic on the highway and didn't end up getting to work until 945. so i think i'm better off if i'm habitually late. i'll just have to explain that to my boss. i wonder if he'll believe me. i really don't care. cause he'd be hurting if i left. but i don't think he really takes it into consideration. he didn't when janice left. and if he didn't do it for her... he wouldn't do it for me. cause janice is janice, and she kicks some major ass. i miss her as my supe. having dom as my supe isn't the same. he has way too obvious favorites... bob and jess. he asks bob questions he should be asking me... cause it's my accounts. but no, he asks bob. it's getting to be annoying to me. oh well.

anyway, let's think pleasant thoughts like... the market went up today. i was so happy when i saw the numbers and the graph for the day. that was just awesome to me. i hope that the market makes a full rebound in the next couple of months. i think the country would be in great shape.

today, finally, my lunch date with alia and ben took place. good ol' ben. i love that kid. he's so funny. we got to ride in his red pick up truck of love. we teased him about that the entire time. we went to panera...when who dropped in for a bit... heather, lacey and hien came in. it was good, although i was pretty disappointed when i saw that they took away the tomato and fresh mozzarella salad from the menu. that was my favorite. dammit. oh well. but it was good hanging with ben. i told him that i want to be set up with his roomie coleman. cause he's intelligent, funny, he likes to read, he's an actor... etc. i was all.... dude, it's me. only glitch... he's 22. i am not a total fan of younger guys, but uh... if he's intelligent, then that can surpass the age iffys that i have. heh. oh well. i hope that we can do lunch with benny boy again. he's cool.

is anyone else's nose wicked itchy? or is it just mine? what does that mean... someone is thinking about me? hopefully it's a nice, cute, smart boy somewhere. hee hee.
