Dear LiveJournal,

It has been months and months since my last post to you.

Your name came up last night when I was DJing at Bearracuda here in Seattle. My friend, Dicky, mentioned.. "O M G THIS IS TOTALLY A LIVE JOURNAL PARTY". In that moment.. I realized, .. "what? who in this group is. ... Oh yeah!"

So, hello LiveJournal.

How have you been? Have you seen my other friend, MySpace? I haven't. I may have to log in to him too and see what is happening. I'm so sorry to of neglected the two of you. but I must admit.. i've gotten sucked in to the world of YouFace(thanks 30Rock). . and got sucked in to finger-poking/tickling everyone BioPic/face/portfolio/something-or-another.

I'm so sorry.

I've been told.. that "you are still welcome here in Live Journal, Martin." "We still see you there.. and hope to see you again.". Awwwwwww. thats so sweet.

How do we resolve this broken relationship? I guess I have to post.

So.. here is whats been going on this past year. ummmmmmmmmm. really it's no different. I know you will be shocked to hear that this post is not going to be including a party flyer for a dance event i'm DJing.. . . .but.. I have been doing a lot of DJing. Visiting friends in Spain, Italy, and Portugal... and ooooooh yes.. Portugal. I now have a lovely little love interest from Oporto. You'll like him, he's sweet.

Miguel and I will be traveling to SF for New Years week, actually! Maybe I can see some of my LiveJournal friends when I'm down there with Miguel! that would be hot. I'm sure you'll see us getting coffee at StarBears/BearBucks. ;-) and of course.. around the 'stro and SoMa.. etc. Maybe some of my friends there will give us pointers on neat things going on in SF too.

We're flying Virgin America. I can't wait to see Miguel see what a flying disco looks like.

Well.. thats about it. I hope to come visit you again, Live Journal. If you need to find me... i'm often at: http://www.facebook.com/martin.petersen and my DJ Fan Page: is at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-FunkyBear-Martin/71346272192 . .and my official site is at: http://funkybearmartin.com/

And now, you're up to date!

Oh.. and I hate that I just had to go through a BestBuy ad when previewing my post. UGH.

I'm watching Fridays BSG .. and my mind is being COMLETELY BLOWN in just 2 minutes.

OH MY GOD

finally "broke down". . ..

. . finally .. gave in.

okay.. finally got sick of waiting for the G1/Android to get better and bought ..


.... an iPhone.

Palin?

NO SHE CAN'T!

what the hell happened to the past 2 weeks! it's been INSANE. Upon returning from SD... it went in to hyperdrive. MONDO work deadline, plus some emergency freelance work..... 50+ hour work week last week,.. then from last thursday night on.. 50 hours of freelance thurdsay night, friday, all saturday, all sunday. then monday back to work for an 8 hour day plus 6 hours freelancing,, Tuesday ..8 hours at work, then4 hours freelance .. and done with the freelance thing. THEN... Wednesday .. a 16 hour work day.. and thursday a EIGHTEEN hour workday ending at 4am this morning. ( the entire office was pulling these hours.. not just me! HUGE project! )

I met all deadlines.

It is now Bear week back east, lazy bear on the west coast, and pride in Vancouver.. plus it's the weekend of SEattle monthly bear drink up .. and natch my Saturday at the Cuff. i'm truely looking for social interaction with humans. I've stared at a computer, literally, since a week ago wednesday. I'm ready to blow out the gaskets with a hot set on Saturday night... .and then... directly after on Sunday morning, .. i'll drive up to Vancouver and be at Bear Bounce's venue upon gettings up there. .. hopefully around 5 or 6pm for those who wanna know. ...

.. and if you didn't know .. I'll be going on the decks at Bear Bounce somewhere near 11:30 until 1am(close). I'm thrilled to announce that my very good friend DJ Matt Stands will be on before me. I really believe in Matt.. and enjoy playing off him. I'm just hoping the crowd holds, as in Vancouver style.. they all leave early for the train!

I'll have monday off to play around and relax in Vanc with whatever leftover festivities there may be.

i intended on letting loose. look out.

O M F G MARY.

What an incredible movie. Saw it at the 12:01 showing here in SD.

I can not recommend the movie enough. in fucking credible.

i wont do the wax poetic thing on Heath.. but.. really... the character will never be done as well, again, ever. amazing.

2.5 hours FLYS by. you will NOT leave your seat. you wont care if you have to pee. it's really really that good.

---------------

so, now.. tonight tonight (it's 3am friday now, so, i mean at 7pm friday night 15 hours from now) in SD for me: Pride Pizza Party after 1/2 day work, then.. . JUNKIE XL at a megaclub.

SD totes rocks so far. muggy as fuck.. but temperate and agreeable mostly --- except for the oh-my-god-my-undies-are-soaked-to-the-bone-moments.

-------------------

Djed in Carrera's studio today, online. havn't done a shoutcasty type thing in 6 years since before leaving portland when shoutcast was a 1.0 and I had a big DSL. that was alot of fun today.

I'll be in SD next week! There for Pride . .but most importantly to visit Dan the Marmot and Chris && Micheal Carrera and his partner Craig !!!! I'm pretty excited to check out San Diego ... I've been told for YEARS that I would like it. so *finally* will be down there to check it out!

I arrive late Wednesday night until Tuesday. My game plan is to either A) Coffee-shop work in the gayborhood(s) Thursday, Friday(1/2), Monday and Tuesday, and or B) work at home with Dan while he's working at home, or C) some combination therein. And, then, of course, party it up on the weekend for pride. Sunday --- Kathy G, and wine tasting with Chris and Dan.

See you in SD!

um... watching My Life on the D-list tonight... was totally dying. Woz as Billionaire Bear.... and Clairbear being camera favorite. *snicker* Kathy should to bear events all the time. So many joke opportunities. I think I was blushing the entire time while in the bear maul/mall. I can only imagine what really went on that we *didn't* see.
