oY!
I haven't posted in oh so long or read your updates. I'm kinda stuck here in NY. Seems like alot of us are looking for work. Things are mostly up these days. I have some new friends to go out with. also, I've reconnected with some old chums from ages past.
Oh and I have a gig cooking Sundays at my all time favorite diner the Miss Albany. I have been eating there since the early 90's and worked there part time for a couple years in the later half of the 90's. They also have a dish on the menu I invented in like 1995 called Georgian eggs. 2 eggs any style on a bed of sweet potatoes and red onions with a spicy peanut sauce on top. It came about when the produce company delivered sweet potatoes instead of white and I was on a thai kick.
Miss you peeps!
DIB
PS I'm on twitter as well.

Where's my fucking bailout ?
Um,
If the greatast "finacial minds" of America can't get the economy right why should I be responsible for my bad decisions ?
I say let it tank. Put your money under the bed. Deposit Backed by a good old fashion shotgun.
There's my tirade,

Hey I haven't posted in 4 weeks!
In the last 3 weeks I have managed to shake off the FUNK I have been in since March 2007. It really is like a weight has been lifted and the sun has come out.
Everyone seems to be buzzing through life. I'm sorta standing still right now.
Though I have been somewhat productive I have been doing projects around my Mom's house that she hasn't taken care of since I was a Kid.
Its weird to be staying at the same home I grew up in. What's even stranger is that it is a mobile home that was moved about 10 miles from where I grew up. Sometimes I think I will take a walk across the street to my Godmother's house and realize I'm 9ish miles away.
I've been doing some preserving of wild foods and local produce and blogging about it on a new myspace page called cookinblack.
For kicks I have been going to Albany and dancing AND drinking at Fuzebox 80's night. It is no Hero's but I met a kewl bunch of peeps. I ocassionally run into former local ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) isolatory there as well.
So I'm heading home this fall lookin for a job and digs and tying up lose ends here.

[Link] | Thank you all oh so much!!!
Mom is going to be OK. The delusional stuff is gone her face has filled out again and the swelling in her injured wrist is reduced. Time to pull DIB's life together.
So Saturday is going to be my main moving day. We'll probably all be Xmortised. So we could start lateish. Feel free to call for directions address etc I'm going to endevor to be all packed. I'm going to move everything to my ex's basement-garage. Then I will probably bounce between NY and Home for a little splitting my time checking on my Mom and setting up Job/digs in NE. Of course Tuesday AM Interview offers started to role in!!!!!
Thank you my posse for all your offers of help, kind words and positive vibrations,

[Link] | Somewhat,
Spent the night the night in the Hospital with Mom. She has visibly changed after 4 bags of iv. She's the shrunken old lady I remember now. She is mostly lucid except she will stop and ask me why I sat in the driveway racing my motorcycle engine instead of coming in to help her.
Just washed the bathroom floor she laid on for 4 days. Yes is was as gross as you might imagine. It makes me so sad to look in there and think of what it must have been like to lay there.
All in all she seems to be coming around.
In addition I need to be out of my apartment in Arlington by next tuesday. I may just store all my stuff at my ex's house also in Arlington. So any charitable packing moving help when I get back to town would be greatly appreciated.
PS seven eight one three six eight three three eight five
Thanks for listening,
S

Ughhhhhhhhhhh!
Ok so, It's been ever so long that I've been looking for a job. For awhile I was looking for "The Perfect job". Now I'm looking for a job.
In addition I now have the excitment of having to be out of my apartment by July 15. I have esteem issues at the best of times and right now I feel like a worthless sack of shit and assume everyone I know thinks I'm a loser and is avoiding me. That said I rationally know this is not true but the record keeps playing.
Worse comes I will go stay with my Mom in Upstate NY while I continue to look for work. THIS WOULD SUCK my Mom likes to point out my failings and when there are some real ones to point out it can get ugly.
I feel like I am wasting my life not doing art or cooking fine dining but i'm also afraid to aim high and fail big. Instead of failing small as usual. I have also expanded my job search to Providence as the pay and rents there are more functional and I would still be near to Boston.
Thanks to felinesque industrialsteveand girlvanizedfor poking me with the motivational stick !

Jairb!
So bubele,
I had an interview at a Kosher office cafe today it went realllllllllllly well. Tomorrow I get to test my metal in the kitchen, one for meat and one for dairy of course.
PS I just started a foodie myspace page called cookinblack and posted my first blog. last night I dreamt I went to a book store in my old office building and there were food books being given away. Oddly enough my new office building is about 2 miles from New England Mobile book fair If you don't no it you are missing out. So anywho I'm perusing the stacks when the call comes to invite me back. I got meself a book on picking wild mushrooms and New kosher cooking.

I can haz nice Ladi? (WARNING: RAMBLING POST OF DOOM)
So new beginnings all around, My last connection to former relationship ERA Boston is severed. Thursday 5/16 I removed my chef's hat and threw it at my boss and admonished her to go fuck herself. I leave behind a fabulous group of customers, tolerable coworkers and a hulking wreck of what used to be an awesome job that gave me creative control. Over the past 6 months I went from kitchen manager/Chef to Utility/cook under the new boss. I don't recommend the exit I took but fortunately I work in one of the last professions where one can audition for a new job.
I guess cutting out that last bit of poison opened me to the following. I won't mention her by name in print yet as to not jinx anything. Recently I made the acquaintance of an awesome woman. We met Friday for the first time and spent time talking about our passions, eating and hanging out on the beach. A truly excellent day and apparently I passed the "introduce him to my sister and have him checked for axe murderer vibe" test 8 ;-) little do they know...(oops that was supposed to stay inside). This of course was followed by Night of the Dolls.
Anywho, Saturday it was help my mate ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) industrialsteve move to his new digs followed by Hero's and the company of The girlvanized. Sunday I spent the entire day sleeping in followed by musings with Nick and V at Isteve's crib. Last evening I drove to Providence and Spent time in the company of "The Lovely Woman" who was stunning in her Elegant Gothic Lolita ensemble. After last evening it appears we will be spending more time together.
Huzzah!!!
