You don't even know.
Well, those of you who work for a living, or are in school, know.
The weekends are rather meaningless to those who don't do either.
I mean, it's not like you have them to look forward to.
They're just another day, right?
I remember very well.
I spent, off and on, like, 3 years doing nothing.
So I know.
Anyway, not where I was going with all this, but hey, whatchagonnado.
Work is ok today.
I came in at 7AM, which means I leave today at 3:30PM :) YAY!
And, I told my boss I would rather use the time from my last break of the day to go home earlier, instead of taking it.
So, I'll actually be leaving at 3:15PM :) :) YAY YAY!
Trust me, that 15 minutes is worth it.
It'll be sweet.
So I'll be home chilling by the time I should be getting off.
It's just cool, alright.
Shut the fuck up.
Don't rain on my little "I'm getting off work early" parade.
It's what I have these days to be excited about.
You take care of your animals and I'll take care of mine.
Frozen North my eye.
Anyway...
I'm reading another book.
And again, I'm not sure I like it.
It's good on detail, but the main character seems to be realizing things a bit too fast.
It's like, the author doesn't want to explain how he comes to his conclusions, he just seems to always be coming up with the right one.
But, it's sci-fi, and I think it's meant for someone who's just getting into the whole genre.
It's been sitting on my bookshelf since, oh, 1996, or something like that.
So, yeah, whatever.
I suppose I should try finding something new.
Has anyone read any decent sci-fi lately?
If so, let me know, I'd love to find something good.
I watched "Videodrome" the other night.
It was decent, though, strange.
I don't know how to explain it.
It's something you should check out, just to say you've seen.
I think tonight I want to watch "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia".
It's supposed to be a true classic.
I've never seen it, but just had to own it eventually.
I like the star (Warren Oats).
I love the director (Sam Peckinpah).
And it's my kind of flick.
A dirty tale of greed and murder, hehe :)
So I'm ready.
My other Amazon package finally shipped, so I'm hopeful to get it by Saturday.
It's a possibility, but it'll probably show up Monday :(
But I do have plenty to keep me entertained.
Not sure if I mentioned it, but I've had to quit drinking.
Well, I'm allowed a beer or two.
But nothing more.
No more wine; no more booze.
My body can't take it, and then, ya know, coupled with my medications, it's just a disaster waiting to happen.
And to anyone who says, ALCOHOL IS ALL THE SAME, blah blah blah, you're wrong.
Different types do different things to me.
Beer gives me a light buzz, and possibly some gas, but nothing I can't handle.
Even drinking 6, I feel drunk, but I'm not wasted, and I can stop and feel finished and full.
Wine goes right to my head.
Red, my favorite, hurts me more than white, but both do their damage.
Wine usually results in a migraine.
Booze, well, booze goes right for the gut.
I start puking and I can't stop.
It makes me dizzy, which makes me nautious, which makes me sicker, which makes me dizzier, and so on and so forth.
Plus, a bad headache.
SO, I don't get to go drinking with the boys much, and when I do, I'm on a strict beer diet.
I might sneak in a shot of tequila, or jeager, but that it'll cost me in the morning.
WHATEVER...
I didn't need to be drinking anyway.
It's probably the worst thing I could do for myself at this point.
Well, I'm sure there are harder drugs I'm lucky not to be on, but drinking isn't one I need anymore.
Anymore?
Ok, NEVER.
Never needed it.
Thought I did at one point, but I was wrong.
Good thing, too :)
I guess I don't really have anything to talk about.
I'm just ramblin'.
I could sure use a smoke about now.
Perhaps I'll steal some time in a minute and go do that.
Or, maybe not.
Depends on how busy I am, hehe.
For now, I'm outtie.
Peace be with you...
...and also with you.
