Oh so long

Hope that drew you in for a titilating new post.  Nope, just been so long since I last posted.  On my way out the door right now.  Going out, pretty low key tonight.  This place called the Yardhouse.  It's a chain here in SoCal, and they have like over 200 beers on tap.  That's alot of beer but I'll try to have one of each tonight.

Keane is a pretty awesome band.  So glad I've got 4 tickets to night one of the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas this year.  Yeah Baby.

That man's life

My friend Derek, who resides in one of my favorite cities, Boston, had a great weekend.  So great here is the link to his Super Blog so you can check it out.  My weekend wasn't bad at all, but Derek did a great job on this narrative.  He set up a great scene and provided the perfect amount of breadth to put you right in the mix.  Right on Digital, you're great weekend has not only influenced your creativity, but the moods of others as well.

I need Peyton Manning to go off tonight, I am depending on him in 2 different fantasy leagues.  Let's go Peyton!  I'll take some double love from Peyton to Harrison as well as Peyton to Stokely.  Here's to hopefully 5 more TD passes.

Why not today?

This is a very strange Saturday for me.  I feel like I really have nothing to do.  For the first time in a very long time.  I really don't mind one bit, but it is weird having time to myself.  I have paperwork and crap to do, but come on, that'll wait til Sunday night.  I remember when my time was all mine (technically it belonged to SUCO but that could be loosely interpreted), and I had so many free time activities which I enjoyed.  Now all my free time activities have to be scheduled in and usually get super seeded by the reality of adult life.  The only thing I really get to do on a regular basis is go out at night, but of course now involves work or people in the industry.  Not like it used to be.  And now my nights are being taken away by crappy birthday celebrations at even crappier restaurants, housewarming parties(yes, HOUSEwarming, as many people I know are now starting to buy houses), and meetings after work.  And now Happy Hour is taking out of my night schedule.  I remember the times Happy Hour meant a simple prelude of the night to come.  Now it's 2 - 3 hours at a crappy restaurant with shitty drinks that are overpriced for even happy hour deals.  And after Happy Hour everyone wants to go home.  End the afternoon.  Go to bed early. 

I am so damn tired in the morning.  I remember feeling great after a month strait of 3-5 hour nights of sleep.  One day a year or two ago I woke up tired.  I have been ever since.   Thought that would go away, but it hasn't yet.

Thought the nightmare of the Bush administration would go away as well, how appropriately scared do I feel now?

Super Tuesday

Well, my last post seemed accurate at the time. Now that Super Tuesday is upon us it seems voters are making it to the polls in near record numbers. I say this of course based on the opinions of Fox News and CNN, so I guess we'll see about that when all is said and done. All I know is the polling locations here are pretty mobbed, and everyone I know that has voted has also bitched about the wait time. I took the easy route and did my duty absentia, with my handy absentee ballot. The only things that sucks about absentee voting is the lack of the super cool "I voted" sticker. I was the only asshole around here not one.

"I'm just, not happy" is the most important quote I got from the phone conversation that just ended. Poor Jenn, she's got a whole bunch of crap on her plate right now. She'll be fine though, she's a strong, smart and beautiful woman. Push on through Jenn, I'm in your corner.

And by the bye, the rumors about me and that one person the night of Halloween Eve are absolutely untrue. What a fucking party though, caskets as coolers, smoke machines galore, movie prop blood and weapons. What a tremendous night that was.

Get out and vote California and Hawaii, and the other states that still have time left. John Kerry.
