Papa Doesn't Preach

For those not in the know, I've been having a devil of a time communicating with a family member.  It's gotten to the point that after leaving phone messages and waiting for a response (it's been two months) has not done me any good.

I'm typically a "bounce back" type of guy with these things, however it really bugged me to not speak. Well one can make the best of a bad situation, right? Maybe no return calls is a good thing.  Maybe said person really isn't worth my time.

Before I wrote this relationship off I thought it to be best to try and call again. Why did I bother? I got the same response as the last time--nothing.  After several  moments of reflection later, and it came to me: why did I put myself through this?  I feel like a fool for having hope. In truth things would never change. Why should they?  

Weird. Walking away from this is nowhere as bad as I expected it to feel like.  I simply cannot waste time past this post.  Did it change me?  Yes it did.  Am I all rage now?  No, but its time for some tough choices and no looking back.

Late night mellowing out. Not sleepy yet. Such is life. Played video games when I should have been writing. I'm hopeless.

My Life with a Power Nap

Yes I took a power nap today and it feels good.  if I didn't know better I'd take another one, but then I'd never go to sleep later tonight.  Such is life.  It's been a time adjusting week with my schedule going thorough major changes.  It takes the body some days to get used to things.  My game is off.

The greatest woe to my week was when I was driving home and the service/engine and brake lights flashed.  I panicked, but I got home OK.  Decided to make sure to have the brake fluid flushed and the oil changed the very next day.  let me tell you I loathe that feeling on the road when I feel like my car could give out.  I was on the parkway for goodness sakes.  Can't have a hot mess then.

I should write more, but I'm tired.  I got up early today to get a haircut.  Yes, to get a good seat I got up early so I wouldn't have to wait.  I was second!  Ha.  My earliness paid off big time.  My power nap paid off big time.  Thank God my car didn't cost more than it did for maintenance.  Power nap settled me down.

For dinner:  Fully loaded baked potato.  Awww yeah!  LOL
Man I'm tired but I need a haircut, so I'm up and about for it. It payed off second for my cut.

Untitled

One day I shall learn not to wait until I'm outta clothes to do laundry.  It's too much of a hassle and rather a two day affair.  I stocked up on quarters, but its too expensive to do all of this.  It's time-consuming, yet necessary.  Would it have been so bad to take last week to, say wash all the polo shirts?  I should have doled this out proper.

No need to cry about it now.  I will either take the lesson in hand, or disregard it.  Expect a post sometime soon about how I didn't heed my own advice.  The worst part is the dryer.  Brrrr.  The cost and time is staggering.

That being said, after that its lotsa film-watching time to where I am taking notes to review the material. This shall be coupled with me finding the time to soak these Ribeye steaks in wine, and bake some taters. Somewhere else in this day I will take a few moments to actually write down either some notes or paragraphs for scripts and stories I'd like to complete.  I say a simple paragraph or two in the notebook should be very sufficient.  

Also I've had this kind of desire to want to put together a couple of comic book stories, however, I need to get those stories together.  It's just a pipe dream at the moment.

The Warm Up

It’s about that time I get myself in high gear and get my writing projects managed.  It means I have a lot of work to do, and the first start to this is my blog writing.  Life’s been a roller coaster of events and who knows where and when the stability will full be at or the full stop.  In my opinion, its better to make the best of what I have in front of me, because no one’s gonna pull for me if I don’t wholeheartedly.  

Denied myself a latte today due to the cost.  I was just gonna have to find another way to stay buzzed.  Yes my body missed the rush today.  My poor substitute was some OK sweet tea and a brownie.  No, it doesn’t come close, but at the same time, I am more than an iced venti latte.  

As my Mom and a friend suggested, “Stacy break out your “to do list” so you can break your projects down like a master.  Good advice.  

Its not too early to ask myself what’s for dinner this weekend.  It has to be something good.
