my hair hurts

My left side is tingly. My lungs feel like there is a pile of needles in there.

Day 1 of no cigs is going well.

Today I start exercising for the very first time. Again.

My wife is out of town and I have a nasty cold, so I stayed in last night.
About 2am I hear a bunch of banging on the door downstairs, then wailing and what sounds like crying and carrying on.
I look out and the cute punk chick who just moved in downstairs has some dude banging on her windows and screeching that he's 'soooooooooorrryyyy' and 'pleeeeeeeease' let him in. He's all drunk and it's an absolutely pathetic display. Dude is way too old to be acting this way, he looks to be at least 26 or 27 and I know the girl is only 19.
I opened my window and yelled at him to quit and to stop being such a wuss and to just go home, nobody wants to hear it....he yells back some weepy gibberish and we go back and forth for a few minutes. I am cracking up laughing and making fun of him and he's crying and yelling. I was going to dump a pan of water on him but after a few minutes the punk girl comes up and knocks on my door, she has made friends with my wife so she's been over before. She tells me that's some dude she's been dating and she's never seen him act like this and sorry and should she call the cops?
I say no, stick your head out of my window and tell him you have decided to dump him and live a swinging lifestyle with me and my wife.
I figure we might as well mess with the dude a little.
She does just this, she explains to him she's gonna live with us now and he should just go home. He just stood there staring, saying 'but why? What did I do?' then he starts banging his head on the brick wall.
She ends up calling an ambulance because he kinda fell down and slumped up against the wall after awhile.
They showed up and dragged him away eventually.
When I left for work I saw some blood on the wall where he was banging his head. What a doofus.

I was suppose to have the day off. It is written in our office policy manual. I got called a couple of hours ago and asked if I would come in... because it has been busy and they would really like to have someone working (and to be available to tour potential clients interested in fractional ownership around the lodge). Since I am salaried, there is no pay benefit -- but they did offer to give me 1/2 of any commissions if anyone that I show the lodge actually purchases an interest. I was somewhat disappointed with being called in on a holiday and not being offered a straight-up cash bonus, but maybe it will all work out in the end. I already took one person around that will be coming back to rent in 3 weeks or so -- perhaps they will like it enough to buy. A few more walk-ins like that will make having to work today worth it. I still feel bad though, because my youngest son said that he did not want to go skiing with his friend (and his Mom) today because he would rather go sledding with me. So, right now, I am sitting at a desk in the breezeway entrance of a very posh lodge at Telluride Ski Resort posting an online message while my 8-year-old is out skiing. If the beginning of the year dictates what the rest of the year will be like... I am already feeling a bit concerned. Well, here's to another Happy New Year!

Awesome.

Wow. That's punk as fuck.

i didn't get as drunk as i had hoped but i still feel slow and achey today...had a good time though...

Played a basement show for New Years Eve. We played right after the ball dropped. I was mixing Champagne and Bulleit Bourbon (in my stomache). For no real reason we opened the New year with a cove of The Greatest Gift. Best New Years Eve in a long time for me.

Happy 2008 PRF'ers!

This afternoon, I hooked up my tv after being without one for over a year. I watched The Incredibles and then found the Marx Bros. collection. I forgot I owned it. Best. Year. Ever.
