when was this?

day after day, or something like that, not any sort of king of the hill, but maybe some sort of royal hoarder of the cliches and lyrical references, no doubt... busy busy busy, challenging workload at the office gonna drown me if i am not careful... fun playload outside of the office gonna kill me if i am not careful (but the only frustration in the latter is not enough time for more fun fun fun (and don't even need a t-bird)...

and where have you been? :)

sluggish

as opposed to slugger, perhaps, though i've reached base safely in every at bat in the last six games i've played, which is really cool, something like 22 for 22 or better, but tonight i was definitely sluggish on the mound and definitely at risk and have a quite swollen right hand cuz the right hand reached the ball just as fast as the left have and the right hand was gloveless, naturally, so ouchie owie kazowie and how was your night?...

definitely need sleep, burning out the past 2 weeks and a 5K in a few hours... but what i discovered tonight is that google+ guides you to stumblr and not to (e)thereal even though (e)thereal is right here at google and stumblr is somewhere else... i think...

having fun yet? :)

wonderful, aye?

delicious food for dinner, whether it is subs or filet mignon, pizza or lobstah, fresh pineapples or chocolate mousse, chalupas or cherries or creme filled iced cupcakes or chocolate chip cookies (hey, what happened to the balance?) or anything your heart desires, life is blissful, if only for the moment, when delicious food is around... so wonderful, yeah... and you, have anything wonderful going on tonight?...

how many days have we skipped now?... days of a life so full of activity that there isn't time to record the activity, no less the thoughts and feelings, inspirations and challenges, and so on (gots to have the so ons, ya know) in words, but are they gone for good?... only if you want them to be...

busy day... more work than can fit in a day, as usual... nothing planned for today got done, but a lot of must get done now work did get done... emergencies and unexpected challenges, that's most of my job... and numbers, always more numbers to play with between the emergencies and unexpected challenges... gotta love it... and the time away from work has been even more wonderful... fun nights out and fun nights in... more crowded, but much less lonely with jackson back here...

hope your life is fun for you (feel free to let me know, either way, cuz i wanna know, ya know? :)

ok, so whatever, right?

do you wanna know a secret?... do you promise not to tell? :)

yeah, that's about the interest level i see too... but you could love music in 2013 with me and share music and that would be so much fun, i mean, if you feel the music as i do... and if you really want to know, i will even repeat myself for you...

anyway, updating anyway, the way it is at the moment these days is i have been away a few days (from home) and out on the softball fields where i didn't bring the computer and i still don't connect to the blog or social net with my phone - and i have been super busy days and evenings before and after the weekend... and i have an even more direct reason for not being online - bright house (the internet) has been intermittent for a month and it's just getting worse lately... yes, it has reached the point of brighthouse sucks... tonight i should be sleeping but waited on the phone for a while, again, to finally get the technician scheduled to come out next monday... that'll be the fourth appointment for a tech call in the past month... not very pleased with the service is an understatement... even more not pleased with the time i've spent trying to get it resolved... and the past five days or so they (brighthouse sucks) have been trying to sell me an upgrade... why would i upgrade crappy service?...

if i had more time i would be looking for viable internet alternatives... might have to make the time if this on again off again service keeps up...

so how are you?...

(yeah, i keep asking cuz i want to know, ok?... yeah, so whatever, right?)...

hey blog

and anybody reading... much fun at the softball tournament in tampa today... much pain in a big toe that took a ball full force that next bounced in center field, hope it's not broken, but besides the pain, much fun... and the three games i played after the toe tried to catch the ball were three of the better games i have played in a long time, made no outs (not sure how many times i was up), walked twice (once walking in a run), a few more rbis and scores and pitched three of my better games and fielded some of my better games and we won two of three so we are still in the tournament for tomorrow (double elimination) and i will find some way to walk run bat and pitch, yes i will... too much fun to let a throbbing toe get in the way (sympathy helps the whining child, of course, nyuk nyuk and so does honesty and teasing like this)...

i hope your weekend is much fun too :)

away from home

in tampa for a softball tournament... register in ybor city and back to the hotel to get some much needed sleep... even though excitement suggests otherwise, wisdom demands a decent night of sleep as there has not been one in more than ten days and a weekend of softball will be much more fun if i am rested and thinking straight... at the moment i am nodding off at red lights and unfocused...

miss me? :)

you can be secret

just for a day (or you can be a hero, for that matter :)

I will run for you :)

been a while, aye?

yeah, left this window open days ago... life is busy with work and fun... first time the computer is on in an uncertain period of time... thank you for missing me, i miss you too... even if we hardly ever say so :)

wish i was dreaming

today was as fun as it could be while still getting past the continuous distraction and annoyance of a runny nose post nasal drip cold... moved a step closer to having a bed in my room, though sleeping laying flat will not happen for another night or few... skipped two parties this weekend, but made it to a superbowl party tonight cuz it was small and healthy... need to get some sleep as the work week begins again... sleeping is not simple with the drip tickling the back of my throat on and off... whining helps a little... laughing makes me cough lol :)

and arriving home from the superbowl party i find et is on, that's ET (sometimes caps are kinda helpful) the movie and following ET is Sleepless in Seattle which could easily keep me awake another two hours or so and the body definitely does not need that but the heart and mind probably do so torn again between taking care of me and taking care of this body i live in... i deserve to retire someday, but can't afford to tomorrow so i will hopefully fall asleep dreaming of finding my own annie and not be awakened by the sniffles drop cough and be a bit drier and less congested in the morning and make it through yet another work day...

hope life is smiling as much as it can for you too :)

internet connection issues

for a long time, a couple of years now, i have been paying more than a hundred dollars a month to brighthouse for the privilege of communicating with the world through the internet and for the privilege of watching tv.... mostly the service has been fine... in the last few weeks the service has been terrible... after unplugging and resetting numerous times, i finally had to schedule a service house call to get a new cable box last week and that appears to have fixed the cable service problem... and now, after unplugging and resetting the modem-router several times and running windows diagnostics on the computer numerous times, i have an internet tech appointment set up for tuesday... hopefully that will resolve the issue as i do not want to change services, but i want consistent stable service at these prices which are the highest of all the internet providers... the fastest by far as well, which is why i choose to pay...

just want the frustration of intermittent connections and not being able to browse or communicate when i want to to go away... ya know?... so how was your weekend? :}

dang bugs

the bacterial kind, i mean... achooo... bless me, right?... the body is still battling the germs that are attacking so the mucous flows and the occasionally seeps into the throat causing coughing which makes for poor sleeping which undermines the immune system which prolongs this head cold... so i am spending the weekend close to home, resting, passing up on two big parties already (though i will head out for the superbowl party tomorrow)... almost hoping to motivate myself to move all the boxes around in the bedroom so i can fit the new mattress in there... yes, i own an actual bed again... life changes, sort of...

and how are you?

bed head

staying home this weekend to rest cuz the head cold is lingering through a second week cuz i am not resting enough... also have a room to rearrange so i can fit a mattress into it... yeah, finally bought another mattress... haven't slept on a decent bed except for hotels in almost two decades... the mattress sits against the wall in the living room until i clean up and rearrange the boxes and bins in the bedroom... hopefully i will find the energy to do that tonight...

tired, slipping

yes, slipping... just not enough time to take care of the many things i want (and kinda need) to take care off... like getting rid of enough stuff so i can live in one small room comfortably with an actual bed (it gets delivered tomorrow and i have no place to put it)... last night i played ncaa football for the first time in weeks and nodded off and went to bed (i think... no wait)... last night i watched tv with jackson a while and wandered meetup for a while re-joining a bunch of groups that booted me out for "inactivity" (seems weird, paranoid, even, but it's acceptable human practice to write off people who do not keep in touch for a while so whatever... my door remains open even to humans... well, some humans lol... no really, all the humans i have ever loved even if they don't keep in touch, but who doesn't know this?... people who do not know me, i guess :)

and then i played ncaa football mostly cuz the coughing was keeping me away and i finally fell asleep at 2am or later, which is why i didn't get to writing, after all...

tired... so much to do... nite nite :)
