The July 4th holiday came, and the July 4th holiday went. Now it's time to put on my finely-creased twill dress pants and make the two hour round trip to walk amongst the rest of the living dead.
I finally caught-up on sleep for the first time in three weeks. I've been going hard at work, and it's left me sick with some sort of head congestion or something. My wife and I had a fine time with her family over the weekend. Now we're back home and hunkering down for yet another week in the fray.
I swear to God there's a show called, "Say Yes to the Dress," which chronicles the adventures of brides-to-be as they try to pick out a wedding dress. That saga hits a bit too close to home for me.
Did anyone know that we're about two months away from the kickoff of the NFL season? It's not long until it's beer and chicken wings every Sunday for 12 hours while my wife helps me keep track of my fantasy team.
Anyone notice that unemployment is at 9.5 percent?
My writing is well...it's on going. It hasn't stopped, really, but it's become harder than Tom Sizemore (might have used that joke in the blog, can't remember) to find the energy at the end of the day. Someone has mentioned using Vista's voice recognition software, which eases the process somewhat. Now it's all about finding the time to make that happen. I'm feeling okay about getting the first rough draft cranked out pretty quick. As I predicted, I've now begun to think that the whole book sucks and needs to be dumped in the trash. I know I've always said that no matter what I'd publish it, but if I'm not going to get published for airing out all of my dirty wedding laundry, then I don't know if I'll ever let anyone read it...ever. I'm just in one of those moods where I hate everything. It's sure to change any minute.
I finally saw the David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) directed 'Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' I bought it three weeks ago and my wife and I sat down to watch it this afternoon. I must it was a stirring and artistic portrait of a 'curious' situation. One thing I took away from it was, that it is truly never too late to do something; it's never too late to start. I'm happy I saw that movie today. Thoughts like that help me get up every day. Well there's that thought and the Floyd Mayweather fight coming up.
Until next time...
