.why.no.posts?

...it's not like i don't have time to write new posts. it seems i have all the time in the world. i guess i've found other stuff to do besides surf. i don't like trying to write at work either, unless i know my manager and his manager are not in the office. i have to sneak being on AIM also, and am only on for about 20 minutes at a time. it's ok though. however, not having direct contact with the outside world doesn't automatically make me more productive. in fact, i believe i've become more unproductive. i check my yahoo acct 20 times an hour. i check cnn 4 times an hour. i'm just a natural procrastinator and an original SAS. i can't help it. i've tried to curb these habits, but this week, at least i've failed miserably. i think it's because i'm not under a huge deadline. and i'm still feeling my way around on this project. i work harder and consistently when i actually know what's going on and know what i need to do...

so what has happened this week...i made pork chops like my mom used to at home. mmmmmm....except that i burned one of them. and melody ended up eating that one...i tried to take it off her plate, but she refused. oops. now that i know how to make them, the next time will be perfect (hopefully).

i ran a couple miles on tuesday night around the park in my neighborhood. next time i'll have to get out a little earlier because by the end of it, it was dark, and a little spooky. i kept looking over my shoulder to make sure no one was following me or gonna jump me.

and speaking of my neighborhood, can there please be one day that these hispanic men keep to themselves? since when did it become attractive to hoot, holler, whistle, yell "hey!", and downright stare at others? didn't their mothers teach them anything useful??

where did all the time go? how is it already october? at least i have something to show for it...i have a new job, and basically a new life. yes! i accomplished something this year! now i have to decide what i want to do...volunteer at children's hospital or get a 2nd job ushering at a theater. there might be a waiting list to volunteer at the hospital, so while i do that, i can always apply to be an usher, or at least volunteer for it. maybe i can get an in there and make some connections...

archie's running the chicago marathon on sunday. so are his cousin, richie, and richie's gf rhoda. goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo archie, richie, rho!

.about.last.night.

...i don't quite remember what happened...all i know was that it was quite crowded, i remember seeing faces who i haven't seen in almost 3 years, and the drinks kept coming. i thought that i would not be able to become as inebriated, as i allowed myself to become. but i did. i admit. and i also admit that it was hella fun. i felt bad for a. being the DD for a night is never fun. maybe in college, it was understood that everyone had to have their turn. but now that we're technically adults, it's more unfun. but he dealt with it well. everyone's gotta do it sometime, right?

i woke up at 10AM this morning, and everything was still blurry. not because of the lack of contacts in my eyeballs. but that damn alcohol was still in my blood system. blech. i think i slept it off a couple hours later, and now i've reached the dehydrated phase.

quarter life crisis or not, when you go to a bar to celebrate a youngin's birthday, and almost all the guests around you are barely the tender age of 21, then you know you're old. and we're old.

don't get me wrong, this weekend wasn't just all drinks and games. i ran 4 miles yesterday with mari. and now my left knee is sore as hell. i need to start to run regularly. pinky swear.

.let.there.be.heat.

finally. there's heat in the condo. it must be a record that it only took 3 days to figure out. i didn't even figure it out myself. i had to email one of our neighbors. that's what neighbors are for, i guess. but i swear, we are the dumbest condo owners on the face of the planet. we don't know anything. why don't the builders make a manual, telling you how to work the furnace, water tank, etc...and all of this stuff should be standard. maybe it already is, and i don't know it, but why don't they ever teach this stuff to you in high school or in college.

i sat in on a training class today and it made me realize how good of an education i received. of course, we never really realize the value of things until months, maybe even years, after they happen...but i received a damn good education. that typing class that i thought was worthless in 7th grade? that actually was one of the most useful classes i've taken in my life. and english/language class? the 2nd best. i can read proficiently. and coherently. i may stutter sometimes now, but my vocabulary is better than some 35 year old people out there. i can read the word, "incredulously" and use it in a sentence. those 30 weekly words we had to memorize in 10th grade vocab class? yes, that's the 3rd best class i've ever taken. so small, but so meaningful. the world is a much bigger place than our own little high school worlds where everyone is smart and educated. some people were just born in the wrong area code.

why is there not enough time in the world to read all my magazines?
