Nick Thomas survives

In Uncategorized on October 11, 2007 at 1:17 pm

Just to let anyone out there concerned about my status: I am alive as of this moment. The moment being Thursday afternoon. I’m planning on recording a PODcast later this evening after I’ve rested from having to repair a shutter which had come loose from the brick exterior. It’s a bitch owning your own home. But I’d rather be frustrated by something like this than something major like a leaky roof or a broken water heater. I’ll talk to you guys later.

Humpday

In Uncategorized on October 10, 2007 at 7:38 pm

Hello world! It’s 8:29 P.M. and the weekend is approaching fast. Much more fall like out this evening. I love this time of the year. I plan on posting a PODcast tomorrow afternoon or evening. Provided this sharp pain I just experienced running through my head isn’t a sign of impending doom. So if I disappear perhaps you should notify the authorities. Aye? N e way, I got an email from .Mac this afternoon. Seems they want to do some trouble shooting on my end and go from there. If this is an issue of content or copywrite I’d figure .Mac would have said so in the email. Apparently from the email this issue is affecting other people. So if I make it through the night I’ll talk a bit more about .Mac and my other headaches. Also want to talk a bit about . . . okay I just had another pain on my left side . . . I hate to be a pussy but I recall my dad’s first heart attack. I really would hate to be just a hypochondriac and there be nothing wrong with me. I’ll play it be ear. Sorry to be so honest here about how I’m feeling. But that’s what Nick Thomas has always been about from day one. Trying to offer my listeners my truth. Be good. Know that I love you all. Good night.

My workout

Go here to view or download a video of me working out on the bowflex in my backyard shirtless. As you can clearly see. I do NOT have six pack abs. But I’m trying! Try not to be to cruel with your comments.

Two PODcasts?

In .Mac, Sex on October 8, 2007 at 6:45 am

So I’m debating offering up two podcasts. One for iTunes and one offered only on the website. I have yet to hear back from .Mac. I’ll let you know if the publishing problem is because of my content. If so, I’ll produce “Nick Thomas PODcast: Ultra nice.” You know, the world is a beautiful place. We all love one another. Life is peachy. And I just love everybody. So what would be cooler than a sweet version? Aye? I’ll let you know what I decide in a day or two. Meanwhile, I’ll be having as much sex as possible. You be good now!

A human trapped in a cat’s body!

In Uncategorized on October 3, 2007 at 6:19 am

This morning when I woke I recalled a dream I had during the night. It was a weird dream and I’ve yet to decode its meaning. Here is the brief dream sequence: I am standing in a room. My cat is at my feet. Kitty is in an excited state and attempts to climb my pant’s leg. Unfortunately, kitty has been de-clawed so she/he cannot climb my leg. Kitty keeps trying in desperation to reach me, face to face, if you will. Somehow kitty stretches his/her body 6 feet 1 inch from the floor such that her cute kitty face is next to mine. She is licking me frantically as if to tell me something. I sense (in the dream) kitty is telling me that she understands. (Dream sequence ends)

1st weird thing: I don’t own a cat or a kitty.

2nd weird thing: Why is kitty licking my face? Seems sort of nasty to me. But I guess its better than being clawed. Oh yeah, I forgot . . . kitty was de-clawed.

3rd weird thing: I seem to remember this toy. Vintage by now. But a toy of a human which could be stretched to ungodly lengths. I think the toy man was called, “Stretch” something or ‘nother? But a kitty cat can’t stretch like a toy. Oh yeah, I forgot . . . this was only a dream.

Okay guys your turn. Am I just loosing my mind or what?

Here’s the deal!

In death on October 1, 2007 at 6:23 pm

Okay guys . . . here’s the deal. My .Mac account is still f**ked up. At least (as of today) I’ve been emailed by .Mac support. I do not have any idea how long it may take to resolve this issue. I’ve decided not to podcast until a resolution of this problem. If I cannot get my full account to work I will inquire of .Mac about canceling it and opening a new account. I know the problem is with my full accounts iDisk. I’ve been able to publish my site with the trial account. That’s why you see a website when you go to nickthomas.org. But the space limitations make it impossible to upload my complete site to the trial account. I’m just in a holding pattern here and I’m not liking it at all. Damn it to hell. I noticed some sweet soul left a kind review of my podcast on iTunes. Thanks man (whoever you are) I really appreciate your words. See, there are guys out there who love me after all. Unfortunately, this kind review will likely disappear if I can’t get my issues with .Mac resolved. Hope he’ll post again when I return to iTunes. And I hope you guys will remain with me. I don’t think Apple or .Mac is having a problem with the content of my podcast or website. There are other people who are experiencing these same issues. I was productive this afternoon. I called the association for the town homes and asked what color paint to use for the shutters and front door. The lady said most people are using green or blue. So I went with a nice shade of green, my favorite color. I also washed my car and actually went shirtless out in the front yard for all to see. I have to tell you that I’ve never been comfortable showing my body in such a way. I wished I had the kind of chest and arms I’d be proud to display. But I feel rather inadequate in the muscle department. I’ve always admired nice toned male bodies. Maybe this is why I’m gay? I want what I don’t have. The perfect image of a male. And so because I can never find perfection I continue to look. Continue to seek that which I cannot find. Perfection. I’ll stop my self analysis now. I called Jeremy’s sister last evening. She says Jeremy is at his mom’s apartment. She says he’s been to the Doctor a couple of times. I’m happy to hear that Jeremy has seen a doctor. But I’m fearful that his mom is content to have an emotionally disturbed son. Jeremy’s aunt Joyce knows Jeremy needs in-care treatment or commitment. I guess I should have known his mom wouldn’t seek the only solution that will work for Jeremy. Now I’m wondering if I’ll ever see Jeremy again. I’m lonely here. Jeremy drove me crazy these past few months. But I miss him. I don’t find any purpose to life. Nothing seems to work for me anymore. Even with all that I’ve attained in these last few months I am left with a feeling of emptiness. Whatever.
