Pick and Choose

Sometimes I feel like friends have come to a point in their lives. The one where they pick and choose who they still want to be a part of their lives. I have some friends who I feel like they are becoming strangers and there isn't anything I can do to stop it. If I am being weened out, it's okay. I may not like it but it is their choice. I just hope that there wasn't something that I said and did or could have said and done. Friends are very important to me and I hate to lose any of them... or even just one.

FLU

Oh, who ever made me sick is gonna get it. jk. But really though, I caught something that I haven't had since I was a little kid. Vomiting and the runs at the same time. Came out of no where too. So, as to not get anymore graphic, I am ending this. I need sleep anyway. I've been sleeping all night anyway. If anyone gets this because of me, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had it. Once I did, I isolated myself.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I'm an ELF!

I've seen better days

but I've seen worse


December is a crazy month. Sure it is filled with holiday "cheer" but at the same time it brings out interesting sides of people. I don't know why and I don't have a specific example but many people know what I am talking about. I say, be yourself and stick to spreading the holiday cheer. Only 7 days until Christmas. This is going to be a long week.

When you hurt someone who is close to me, you hurt me too.

Haven't you always wanted a monKEY!

I work. Alot. I feel like I live at Hollywood. Counting later today (Monday 18th) in the past 10 days I have worked 8 closing shifts at Hollywood. But I do have a break... after Monday night I don't work there again until Saturday night. Whew. I'm looking forward to 4 nights off in a row. Well, 1 night will include my door duties at DH Browns but still the same, it is not Hollywood.

I've had a lot on my mind lately. Which is the main reason for the lack of posts on the blog. Things that I feel I should and am for the most part keeping to myself.

For people that will be home for Christmas...

Call me up. I've got T-TH evenings free... so far. I'm waiting to reserve one night.

Friday night I will be working the door at Browns from 9-1. I could do dinner before hand (6pm-9pm)or hang out after (1am-?). Or you could chill at browns while I card.

Saturday day, I am free until 4:30pm

Saturday night I am working at Hollywood from 5pm-12:30am and then will probably be going downtown after that. Keep me informed on what is happening that night.

Sunday, hard to tell right now. I know that is my big day for family. So unless you can chill really early in the day or really late that night, I probably won't be able to hook up that day.

Monday, Christmas day, family early and then I'm working Hollywood from 5-CL then maybe out afterwards depending on who is open and who is out.

Where's your head at

Well, as usual I've ran myself ragged. I'm sick with something. Probably just a cold. I took a sick day today to rest and get better. I don't know how much better I am feeling. I've been medicating myself hoping that it will get better.

As many people probably found out tonight. I have a new cell phone. Yay! About time too! I've been struggling with my ghetto phone for about a month now. Upgrade time finally rolled around and I got a sweet cell phone. It has internet, can send texts, pictures, and videos, and it can take photos at 1.3 megapixels and also some video. It is an LG and is similar to a Razor but not a Razor.

Izzy is back in town for a while for the holidays. I went out to see her and company this evening. My mom was upset that I was going out and I promised that I would be home early and get some rest. I did, for me. I am home and about to go to bed and it is 11:20pm.

Anyone that is coming home for the holidays let me know. I need some of that old friends from HS lovin back in my life. I'm very extremely seriously burnt out on everything. Life is taking its toll and I'm exhausted.

It's almost the weekend...

What a HORRIBLE day!

Oh my. My sore legs were the focal point at the beginning of my day but by the end of my day I could care less that I have limited mobility. Get me one of those power wheel chairs I see advertised during daytime tv.

To start my day I couldn't sleep last night. I have been going on about 2 hours of sleep. That includes my 20 minute nap that I was able to get in during my break between shifts.

Lack of sleep = sucky day

Then after my morning shift I was supposed to have a coffee date with a friend. It was my friend's idea and my friend even said that they would buy because they wanted to hang out and shoot the breeze. Well, I got off work at 10:30am, I called my friend at 11am, I left a message at 11am and it is now 3:20 in the morning and I have yet to hear from my friend. So obviously the coffee date didn't happen. I got stood up for a date that I didn't even plan. I was looking forward to it and was greatly disappointed but life goes on. I'll just have to have some words and sort this out. I just hope that nothing bad happened.

Getting stood up = sucky day

So I do my afternoon shift. I try to loosen my legs up by being active and shoot some hoops with the children. I think it helped a little but yeah, still awefully sore. Stairs are my enemy.

Still sore 2 days later = sucky day

Then I do dinner and head to my night job at the video store. The DM is coming tomorrow so of course the store needs to be in tip top shape. Plus like a million copies of Talledega and World Trade center need to be put out and all the other super cleaning chores (moping, dusting, super straightening). Instead of getting out of work at 12:25ish we get out at about 1am.

Staying late at work = sucky day

So I then head home. But it is Monday so I decide to stop by Chantilly since it is on my way home and just a mile from my house. Pleasant time there with friends. I won't lie.

Hanging with friends = not enough to negate sucky day

At 2am I decide I had better get home and crash. I need sleep. Looking forward to my bed. I hop in my car and pull out of the parking lot. But something isn't right... What could it be. I pull over at the ATM across the street. I get out of my car. I look at my tires on my side.... they are fine. I walk around to the other side of the car and LO AND BEHOLD! I HAVE A FREAKIN FLAT TIRE! It is still going down so I think, there is a free air pump on the other corner. So I hop back in the car and drive it around the median and pull it up to the air pump. I start to fill it up. It's going up. I'm like yay! Wahooo! So then I think, okay that is enough air to get me home.... just 1 mile remember? Well, I go back to the tire to put the cap back on the nozzle. And it sounds as though I am still putting air INTO the tire... but I'm not... so that only can mean... that air is coming out of the tire insanely fast. DANG! I think, okay okay okay okay.... I can do this. I've never done it before but I know what to do. I have been briefed many a time. I jack the car up. I get the hubcap off. I'm trying to get the lugnuts or bolts or whatever off of the Freakin tire. They won't budge. I'm like, no no no no. I try and I try. I wanted to do this on my own soooo badly. But I was doing something wrong. So I then did what I felt I had to do. I called my dad. Dad to the rescue. He came, showed me what I was doing wrong, apparently I shouldn't have lifted the car up at the beginning but rather after I had gotten the bolts loose. So we switched it. He gave me some great pointers that I was not aware of. He advised me of what I should do in the morning. I then went home, and he followed. I made sure to thank him many many times since I woke him up at 2:30am to get out of bed and out of his house to help me switch a tire.

Flat tire at 2am = sucky day

Unable to fix myself = sucky day

Have to claim defeat and call my dad for help = sucky day

Knowing that I'm going to have to dish out money to get this tire fixed = sucky day

Now I sit here recapping what a horrible day I have had and that brings me back to the fact that I am going on 2 hours of sleep and it is now 3:45am and I have to be at work at 7am. So I am already not starting tomorrow off on the right foot.

I am just glad that TODAY IS OVER! I'm going to bed. Goodnight!

Old Man River

Oh boy. Saturday night after I got out of work at the video store I headed downtown. There were quite a few people out and everyone was having a good time. I decided to join in the fun as the mood struck me. The reason why I say Oh boy is that I am feeling it 2 days later. No, I didn't drink too much, not even close. What I am feeling is the extreme soreness in my upper legs. I danced quite a bit on Saturday night. Hurts to sit down, hurts to get up, and stairs are evil right now. I would rather hop down the stairs than take them one agonizing step after another. I feel so old. I shouldn't be this sore but seeing as how I work so much I don't have much time for working out and staying in shape. Well, I do have time but I try to be social during that time.

So I am guessing that I will be pretty sore for at least 2 more days. This sucks.

Tonight... I'm pissed. I have to work and the Bears are playing Monday Night Football. A few weeks ago I thought about asking off for tonight but then I forgot to actually do it. Now I am stuck working and everyone else is going to be out having fun and watching the game. Grrrrrrrr. I hate missing out.

I may go see a movie tomorrow night. I don't know what though because I've gotten behind. Probably Stranger Than Fiction.

Miss Me Much?

The internet misses me. Wow, I didn't know that was possible with the millions of users and the millions of websites out there. :)



Sorry to my loyal blog readers. I haven't felt up to par lately and I really haven't had anything to talk about really. I work. I try to have a social life. When I am not working and when I am not working or trying to be social, I am usually asleep. Yesterday that caught up with me. I slept nearly all day and all night besides when I was at my day job.

I have gotten boring and I hate myself for it. People ask me what I've been up to and all I ever have for a response is that I work. Then that conversation is over. I wish I had interesting stories. I could talk about my students but I refrain from doing that on here because that just isn't right, probably against the law too. I'm not the brightest star in the sky but I know about confidentiality issues.

If people claim that they have not seen me in a while they apparently don't go down to DH Brown's on Friday nights. I am still working the door there on Fridays for over two and a half years now. I always enjoy when friends come down and hang out with me at the door.

I haven't seen any movies in probably over a month. I'm getting behind. Well, movies in theaters that is, because I rent movies from my night job at the video store. Usually something to fall asleep while watching.

I want to wish my sister Jennifer a belated happy birthday. Since I have been not feeling it in the blog department I did not get around to giving her a birthday shout out for her GOLDEN BIRTHDAY last Thursday, November 30th. Now, I won't say how old she is because that just wouldn't be nice......



I did wish her a happy birthday in real life though. I was just slacking on the blog so don't go acting like I am a horrible brother. Although I've proved it in years past I'm sure. Jen, when are you coming home? I've got your gift for you here. You have to come get it, I'm not sending it to you.


Hopefully this fills the void all of you have been feeling lately from my lack of posting. I always appreciate blog comments even if they are ridiculing the content of my posts because that at least shows me that you are out there and actually reading the garbage that I post.



PS. Take a momemnt of silence for today is Pearl Harbor Day.
