Yeah, the Cavs lost. So what? It is how they played the game, isn't it. Well, they played it poorly. Today was the first game in a couple of weeks that I watched the TV while I listened Joe Tait. I got to see with my own eyes how bad the Cavs stink. Dujuan Wagner is good, though, and I like Jones, Boozer and Z but, man, are they bad. I don't see them winning again all year. Just kidding but it is going to be a long season with many losses.

I did not do anything today. Most days when I say that I don't really mean nothing - just nothing of substance. Today, I really did nothing. Today was a day that I did housework just to make it seem like I didn't blow the whole day. I ran and read a little but it was mosty just nothing. Tomorrow is the first day of December and I am going to get cracking again. I have had enough time off.

Happy Holidays!

I hope everything is going as great for all of you as it is for me. I have had a kick ass couple of days and I am looking forward to a kick ass couple more. I did my patriotic duty and went shopping today with Thea. I had fun. I am going out for more fun now so I can't BLOG my ass off like I like to. I like to do things the way that I like to do them. Everything would be unbelievable if the Cavs would just win one. Tonight was a good game but a loss is still a loss. Well, maybe tomorrow. No. Definitely tomorrow.

What does it profit a man to hit his billable hour requirement and finish his fourth book on the same day but lose his soul? That is a trick question. The answer is nothing. Actually, I did not lose my soul but I almost lost my mind. I had to work this afternoon and I was working on a project that was so boring it would only be worked on by somebody who absolutely had to bill his time on the afternoon before Thanksgiving. I watched the clock like when I was smoking cigarettes. Five minutes seemed like an eternity. I fidgeted in my seat like I had ants in my pants and at 5:40 p.m. I left the office for my four day weekend. I can not tell you how glad I am for it to be over for a few days. Praise Jah.

My big excitement for tonight was buying a new pair of Carhartt pants for the holiday. You see, I am now officially a hillbilly who gets new work pants for special occasions. Jah help me.

I ran tonight. Sweet jumping Jah was it cold. And the Cavs got blown out by Milwaukee making the run seem that much more frigid. It was so cold tonight that my hands hurt from the chill. I am going to plan on thinking about looking for my running gloves and hat tomorrow.

I am so pumped up about tomorrow, it is not even funny. I feel like a kid again. Four day weekend. No work. No billable hours. Yes, I am pumped.

I woke up this morning and wrote. Tomorrow, I finish it the book. It ends will the smell of reefer in the air. After that, I did some more early morning plumbing. It is turning into a weekly routine for me. I ran to the big box home repair place before work to get some parts. I was told by the jack off that works there that I would not find my parts. Yeah, so what? I improvised. It is not leaking anymore. Let us pray that it is fixed.

I went to the office and worked. 6.75 billable hours to go.

I went to the basketball game tonight with Smoking Steve. Big ups to him and big ups to The Rock and Roll Butler for hooking Smoking Steve and I up with lower bowl seats. The Cavs lost – of course – but they did not get blown out by the Kings. The highlight of the evening was to see the white trash people fight with the foreigners who came to see the Euro loaded Kings. My favorite quote is from the fat wigger who said, “Go back to your poor ass country.” America is, indeed, a beautiful country but it is, unfortunately, filled with ugly assholes. Hey America, get less horrible, OK?

I waited for the bus in the snow. I was blanking while watching the snow fall against the gray sky. I guess I am going to have to learn to love bad weather if I am going to make Cleveland, OH my home.

One of my God given skills is being able to gauge exactly how much ice I can put in a pint class and still fit an entire can of Coke in it. Let me tell you, I get it up to the rim every time. I am also rather skilled at working myself into a coma where I can’t even move off of the futon after the Browns game and then being bored to tears fifteen minutes later. What should I do? What should I do? I know. I need guacamole mix just in case we need to make guacamole any time soon. You know how good guacamole goes with Thanksgiving turkey. Yeah, I’ll go get guacamole mix – three packs (anymore would be ridiculous) – just in case, just so we’ll have them. I ran into Junkyard Todd at the supermarket. He got to see me scramble around the supermarket picking up a few more items just so it did not seem like I was in the store only to buy three packs of guacamole mix. These are the times where I stop myself after rushing by Junkyard Todd - just say hello – can’t stop to talk - I have got to keep moving – and ask what the fuck I am doing? I catch myself sometimes and sometimes I don’t. Today, I caught myself, stopped, bought my shit and went home. I am stopped again.
