It’s the years that you’ve gotta watch out for.
Today is one of those rare occasions where, in spite of my recent short-comings, I’m honestly looking forward to facing the day.
My professional relationships have been, to be blunt, less than satisfactory lately.
Squaring up problems in communication, as well as clients who refuse to properly deal with monetary contractual obligations, has been a pain in my royal aching ass, to be sure, but I suppose it’s to be said that without the negatives we wouldn’t enjoy the positives.
Funny story about that, actually.
A bit ago, I went to Bellingham with my room/hetero life mate, Tony, to get shitty with a few buddies of ours. On the ride back, I was hung-over, broke, and trying to sleep in the back seat. The passenger side window was down, creating a lot of turbulence and wind in the back where I was, making me miserable. When he finally rolled the window up, I was so fuckin’ happy that there wasn’t any wind, that I completely forgot about the negatives, and was totally content.
The man who sits for too long wants to stand. The man who stands for too long, only wants to sit.
I guess it’s not THAT funny, but it illustrates my point well enough.
I got drunk and watched Layercake, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Interview with the Vampire, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Juno last night.
Pretty standard Thursday night escapism, I suppose.
You should join me. It’s way less fun with only one person.
