Good news - up to 170 as of this weekend! Stay tuned for breaking news.

Just a small Rant

You whats really annoying? People who think they know you and what know what you need. I've noticed another social norm that the majority continues to believe - that once you break up with someone - you will instantly whore around and are incapable of immediately having another realtionship. What ive gotten from multiple people is that I need 3-4 months before i can handle dating again. That is the timline that has been given to me... i guess everyone else knows what's best for me - god forbid I figure that out for myself.

So why? why do i have to wait 3 months? Will I actually be that different then - from today? So I guess if I meet someone I really like in the next 3 months I just need to hope and pray they will still be there when Im more "mature" and "capable" of dating someone seriously. super.

So far - people other than myself have told me that its abnormal to be single and 30 & Im incapable of having a relationship until August... Lets round up and make it Labor Day

Truffle Shuffle

Went to the gym today and weighed myself for the first time in over a month. Came in at 168. seriously? - i was 168 in 5th grade..... i think im manarexic.

Global Monkey

Found out yesterday that my boss got me approved to go to Amsterdam - EMEA Nike Headquarters. Stoked. Actually taking it as a big honor that I was invited. Been working on this project now for 7 months on this project and the Euro's got wind so I will be going over there for a week to talk about it as well as discuss how we do retail in the states. Never been over seas so im pretty fired up. I guess it was a good thing I almost married a whore in mexico - forced me to get my passport.
I wonder I will end up at a hash bar with boss..... Stupid if i dont at least try. They have a pretty serious red light district - dont they? yeah buddy.....

Just thinking...

What if you never met your "soul mate"?
What if you went through life without getting married?
Why do we as a society stipulate you have to live your life with someone else?

There's even a point or age where you are looked different upon if you dont have a signifigant other. I'll be honest - i was probably a part of that majority prior to being single. Now that I'm not involved - I'm trying figure out who is actually putting the pressure on me to find someone new - society/friends or if you look deep enough - is it myself?

Remind me again why I'm not here?

Easy like Sunday Morning

So as I said in the begining - this would be a true account of everything I have to deal with now that Im single etc.. And considering no one is really reading this anyways - its all good.

So sunday's suck. What are sundays for? family time, relaxation, preparing for the week ahead etc.. I used to love Sundays - always slept in a little bit longer than normal, maybe hit the gym, bum around around the house and cap it off with a big dinner and some good tv. Well now I cant stand them. Its tough working through it by yourself when you're not used to it. Every other day of the week there are things going on - work, happy hour, etc but ill be honest - the number 1 thing I miss are my old Sundays.

Im sure there will be better Sundays ahead and Ill totally forget about these but when you're in this position - you dont think about next Sunday you think about this one. And this one sucked.

Cinco de mayo - Spanish for Cinco de May

Big day yesterday - cinco de mayo, kentucky derby, nba playoffs, and of course the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight. Figured it would be a good start to the summer and single life to have a few people over for chips, dips, & tequila. I ordered the fight and decided to finish it out by ordering 100 chicken wings...mmmmmm Much to my surprise one of the "special sauces" this month was bacon/terriyaki - DONE!
Also some back notes - I have been home sick for 3 days with possibly the bird flu or sars at this point. So going into the night i was heavily medicated and hadnt eaten in 2 days. Some things to look forward to - random cold sweats, forced to take tequila shots on a 2 day empty stomach, passing out in front everyone. So i was fired up!

A few highlights/lowlights from the night -

- My fridge randomly broke. 2 hours later we realized the reset button was on an outlet near the counter - wierd
- Mid party I had to take out the trash cause there was a dirty diaper seeping into the aroma
- Mid party someone informed me that one of my dish towels was used to clean up baby puke
- 4 bottles of tequila (all shots), 1 goose, 1 jack, 5 cases of corona's, 1 case of dos equis - done
- Buxman was so wasted he started humping my leg infront of my boss and my boss's boss...
- Luke threw a soaked paper towel roll to another condo (not sure why) - missed and is now on someone else blacony - im sure ill be evicted soon
- A former "Little House on the Prairie" child actor and I took shots till his wife made him leave

So all and all it was a good night. Felt a little wierd to have my first hosting gig all on my own but none the less - a good night. I just hope I can kick this monkey pox before I head to Seattle this weekend for the Yankee-Mariners game...
