Time keeps on slippin'...

"Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time..."
- Pink Floyd, 1972

Man, the past few months have been a complete and utter blur. Therefore, I haven't had the time to post here in a LONG ass time...not as if many people read it, but basically it's so that I can put out my thoughts and 'vent'. Man, do I have some venting to do...


Ok, quick review of the past few months:

• Got promoted at work - been run ragged since
• Boat = DEAD (please, do NOT ask)
• Still single... *sigh*
• Went swordfishing in Florida - and got sea sick...wonderful
• Got me a new TV in an effort to organize my life - believe me, the math works on this one...
  
• Went to San Diego, L.A., and Las Vegas all in the same trip...good times...
• FINALLY saw the Beatles Cirque du Soleil Show - "Love" - you MUST see it...

Really what I have been struggling with is lack of TIME for myself and the things I wish to do, like get my shit together and more organized. Yes, I bought a TV to help that... "HOW could that help?" you may ask.

Well, basically every environment in my personal life seems cluttered and closed in...very non-'feng shui'. I truly think this is having an adverse effect on the way I go about things, and really I don't have the TIME to pick up all the pieces every time I go away for work - or rather when I return. So, the answer is - "More floor space - Less stuff".

"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you"

The thinking is, if I get rid of a lot of shit, then there is less to clean/put away/pick up, etc... which in theory is true. HOWEVER, deciding what goes and what stays is really a much harder decision. I am a bit of a pack rat and I don't like to part with most anything I spent money on... I'm getting better about it, and making a list of things to sell/give away/trade in...but even that is hard because I KNOW as soon as I get rid of something, I'll need it the next day. This is the story of my life, so I know how the book reads!


"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking..."

Then I always seem to start a project, run out of TIME on it, and then have a bigger mess than when I started. I'm telling ya...60 hour weeks suck donkey balls...It cramps my 'style', or what little style I have, in a big way, and makes for a more convoluted life. Thusly, I try to get this organization thing going, but you need TIME for that...and there is the vicious cycle...running around and around like a second hand on a watch - except you can't wind this watch. When time is gone, it's gone forever and can't be reclaimed. I want to find a way to recycle TIME. That would be convenient...

I also want to make a TV show called "You Bet Your Afterlife"...but I don't see that working out too well...

"Home, home again
I like to be here when I can"

That says it all right there... For me, home has been many a Holiday Inn Express... They almost know me by name at my regular haunts. I guess that is ok, cause at least there is someone saying hello to me with a smiling face and at least pretends to care... If I can't have friends or family do it, I guess I could do worse than the nice staff at HIE's everywhere... Thanks Y'all!

Home was also L.A. at one time, and it was nice to visit last week. Got to hang with some old 'rock star' pals - though it was to help them move...how nice of me...

Was also good to hang with former co-workers down in San Diego, then travel up to Las Vegas for food and wine and song and other stuff... :-)

By the way, I scored a 2008 Mercedes C300 as my rental car... I suggest driving one...big TIME! That ride to Vegas was never sweeter or more comfy - whether it be plane, car, tour bus...whatever... I'm now a Mercedes fan...

The Beatles "Love" show was amazing...being in the 2nd row didn't hurt either...but those friggin' Cirque cats piss me off!!!! I mean, HOW CAN THEY DO HALF THAT SHIT!!!! I complain when I have to do a 6 hour drive to go to work...these freaks fly 50 feet in the air being held up by a piece of dental floss or something - NIGHTLY!!!!! I give them credit... 2 shows a night 5 days a week...they earn their paycheck. Kudos to you guys!! Now you all have to go see the show...like, now. NOW.

Ok, think I am done for now...NOW... Till the next time...

Lyrics ripped off from "Time" - by Pink Floyd
from the 1973 release "Dark Side of the Moon"
If you don't know what that album is, then go throw a rock, and whomever it hits, ask THEM, 'cause I am sure they have heard of it
