After Date News

Everything we had planned was pretty much tossed out of the window.  We hung out for about 4 hours and I had a great time.  And no I did not over think anything, no expectations, and I just enjoyed the time.  Anna was a lot less serious than I thought she would be and she thought I would be older and more serious.  She was late and hung over.  However she is an ex-New Yorker like myself, bubbly (she laughed that I used that to describe her), and very open.  We visited a pottery sale at the library where her room mate had a booth, but wasn't present.  So we got to look around and then I helped her pack the stuff up.  Anna felt really bad about the work, but I didn't mind.  I usually don't mind what I am doing if the company is good.  So she took me out for dinner for helping her.  So we went to Chili's.  Italian NYer's are loud.  I've had enough shushing in my life to retrain myself, but Anna was voicesterous.  So I think we gave free entertainment to those sitting around us since we covered about ever topic known to man.  We hit it off nicely and I think we are both what we are looking for.  A friend to do stuff with that was of the opposite sex.  So next weekend is shot for both of us, but hopefully the week after we can do something again.

T Minus

LOL.  I thank everyone for their comments.  It has stopped me from getting my mind running.  Little nervous so we will see.  Talking to my good friend Paul before and he asked what her name was.  I told him it was Anna.  He said most likely we wouldn't have to remember it.  LOL.  That's what friends are for. 

Realized today I haven't been out on a date in about 6 months.  Wow time flies.  The 6 months prior I had dated more women than I had in my prior life.

They found my Mom wandering around her neighborhood this morning.  We were told it could take up to a week to have the medicine leave her system.  So my brother wants to move her soon.  A place close to me looks the best so we will see. 

Catch you all later with how it went.

End of the Day

They sent my Mom to the ER today because he speech was slurred and they were worried she was going to have a stroke.  My brother and I believe it is from the medicine her doctor gave her.  Since we talk to her many times a day we can hear how it affects her.  She sounds drunk.  We had him take her off of it since in my opinion if she needs to be taken medicine how about something to prevent the stoke.  Not something to help with her memory if she has one.  Hello the horse has already left the barn.  Anyway she was evaluated and let go.  Happy to say that the stuff just doesn't bother me anymore.  Not to long ago when she use to get very sick, boy did it affect me.  I could hear it affecting my brother though today.

So Anna and I are suppose to meet up at the library art gallery at 3 then shoot over to Starbucks afterwards.  Should be a fun time.  So far pretty casual with it.  I think it from me thinking of Anna as more of a friend potential then something more.  Although she may pass the litmus test tomorrow and I will have to re-evaluate.  So at least my attitude will be good.

Saturday Afternoon

All I can say is OUCH!  A lot of running last night, not much sleep, and yoga this morning have battered my body.  I feel a nap coming on before work tonight.

Yoga is really rough when you are really tired.  Tara was weird today and kept herself occupied while in class.  Before and after.  I waved, smiled, and said goodbye on the way out while she was talking to some of the other students.  The email yesterday didn't say anything.  So if she shows more of an interest in the future I will pursue, but I have no problem walking away from it now.  I am in no rush and I am not holding on tight so I feel like I am in a good position.

I got a good laugh this morning when I realized Anna had marked her territory when she responded to my asking her for Starbucks earlier in the week.  I think she has seen all these other women talking to me so she responded so that all know we are going out for Starbucks tomorrow.  LOL.  Good way to get rid of the competition.  Funny thing they had already turned me down in one way or another, but we still say hi to each other.

Went to get new glasses today since mine are SO scratched it is not funny.  I thought I was getting a good deal on the glasses till I found out the frame and lens cost were separate.  So it came out to be normal price.  The wanted to sell me glass insurance in case they break in a year.  WTF!  Are the selling me defective equipment here?  Are they going to fall apart in the rain?  LOL.

Oh well I need a nap before work. 

Heavy Early

I'm tired and sore and in a few hours I need to get up for yoga class.  It was a long night at valet tonight.  The first two parties were pretty much a bust for us.  The last party we nickname the Hoochie Mamma Party.  (hoochie mamma's usually being sluts/whores.)  The real title is the Coalition of Young Black Professionals.  There meetings are pretty normal, but the parties get pretty wild.  The nickname comes from all the women that come have hardly any clothes on.  Doesn't matter if it is the dead of winter.  Usually we get there late after all the set up is done.  Tonight we were there for it.  OMG I wanted a bat.  The guys running it act so entitled.  The rules don't apply to them and like 3 year old they got a answer for everything.  Our biggest problem is that they just don't tip. Of all the parties we do this is the worse. A lot of work with not much money.

One thing I have been working on is playing it cool or taking it easy.  I'm exhausted and I can't think of the word.  Just very casual.  So I will continue with that with Tara tomorrow.  Her email was very non everything.  So I will play it by ear as coherently as I can be.

On the other hand.  Leaving Anna alone for the last 2 days I find a message tonight when I get home asking if I want to help pick some stuff up at an art gallery then grab some Starbucks Sunday. 

Jeez I can't remember what this persona is called.  Of having interest, but not too interested.  Seems to be working better than my usual.  We'll the adrenaline is wearing off from the running so I think sleep is calling.

Yoga & Starbucks

You could have knocked me over with a feather.  I got an email back from Tara my yoga teacher.  Just saying she was getting back to me, she's been really busy, and she would see me in class.  LOL.  I was going to miss class tomorrow so I could sleep in.  We have many parties tonight with a big Hoochie Momma party that will go late.  I hate these parties since they DO NOT tip, but they complain a lot.  Also I never get to bed before 4 am.  So I will need to drag my ass out of bed for my 10:30 class.  Hopefully Tara will be blatant cause I will be as sharp as a sack of wet mice. LOL.

Responses

Well I got a lot of comments and responses from my last entry so I figured I would respond here.

~ I have to agree with Hadon that I feel I know less and less everyday about women.

~ The difference between bold and assertive.  Well my last name is Vanella if you didn't know.  Bold would be one of my female patients asking me if I taste as good as I sound.  Assertive would be anything less than that.

~ Jennifer - well there really is no story here she just happened to email me while I was ranting last night.  I asked her out weeks ago.  She gave me the laundry list of things she was doing for the next few weeks.  So I got the point.  I email every once in a while wishing her a happy weekend.  She sometimes does the same.  It's pretty business like.

I Swear

I swear if I live to be a hundred I will never understand women.  Now I know why you tell me not to over think this.  If I did I would go insane.  Case in point this girl Anna I know for a few weeks now.  She has commented a few times how she is glad that we are friends and that it would be nice to do a few things together.  So when I asked her the other day to the free lunch she was very apologetic that she couldn't go.  Saying any other day and she would.  So when she emailed me asking what I was doing for the weekend I asked if she wanted to get together for Starbucks.  See this ~> "      ".  I'm good with yes.  Okay with "no".  Not okay with "     ".  It's like let's not talk about the white elephant in the corner.  Hey no regrets on my end, but this is the second time I asked.  I like closure. 

On another matter I have proof that people that use English as a second language use the line, "I don't understand.  You're going to fast." To not deal with stuff.  I've been emailing back and forth with this fruit loop Korean lady in Alabama.  She got very bent out of shape when I didn't email back to her in a timely fashion.  When I informed her if she expected a email from me every time she logged on she was going to have a problem.  I get back "I don;t understand. You're going too fast."  LMAO.  It's a typed email. 

Okay I had my rant for the evening.  I'm not even going to go into Jennifer.

Doctorhood

I was in the elevator yesterday at my second job talking to this lady.  I found myself stopping myself with stories because they relate to me being a chiropractor.  I hate when I give into fear like that, but I am getting tired of that "cha-ching" sound going off when they find out what I do.  You can see it in the eyes.  I'm not saying all women do this, but I have had enough.  I guess it is a good eliminator, but it bugs me.  Most likely it is an old tape playing that something is wrong with me instead of with the other person. 

My gut is warning me with a female patient of mine.  Need to steer her away from her attraction to me.  Nothing has happened, but I have done this enough years to know where it starts.  Funny this is the first time something this has happened since i have been separated.  It use to happen a lot when I was married, but I have to admit my patient population was a lot different.  I have to admit I was very surprised over the years to how bold women will be.

Feeling Clogged

Got out of the gym today and was running errands when I just felt clogged.  Don't know why so I decided a trip down to the beach would be needed.  Haven't really been down there for a few weeks so it was needed.  It was very windy, but nice and relaxing.  I didn't know I was going so I didn't bring a camera.  So next time I will get shots for you. 

A family was there.  The kid was about 12 and had a regular shovel.  The father was just standing there while the kid was just digging a hole.  LOL.  Punishment?  Learning to hide a body?  Who knows. 

I got to watch the F21 Hornets fly above which I enjoy, but I have to admit I liked the F14 Tomcats better.

Two Thumbs Up

Not a big person to put in news articles, but this was a gem.  Way to go Thelma.

74-Year-Old Woman Chokes Intruder, Sends Him Running

POSTED: 10:42 am EDT April 25, 2006

 

DECATUR, Ala. -- A 74-year-old Alabama woman says she thwarted a home invasion by choking the intruder until he ran away.

Thelma Carter said when a man suddenly barged into her Decatur home over the weekend, she grabbed his throat and tried to strangle "the living daylights out of him."

She said the man, who appeared to be in his twenties, looked scared. When she began calling for her grandson, who wasn't in the home at the time, the intruder turned and ran.

The retired motel clerk took a self-defense course a few years ago.

OMG I'm Full

Well the lunch was a lot different than I thought.  Each party had their own table.  Just like if you went out for dinner.  The place was Carraba's Italian Grill.  If you haven't eaten there you must definitely do.  I am still stuffed.  I passed on dessert.  Had my own booth and my waitress did a great job of making none of my stuff had dairy in it.  I made sure to give her a good tip.  Big salad, chicken marsala, ziti, bread, and dessert all free it was great.  LOL.  I'm ready for a nap now.  Happy I went.

Secretaries Day

Well just about to leave for this Administrative Professional Day lunch.  Anna had a previous engagement, but was very apologetic about no being able to come.  So maybe Starbucks over the weekend was my next question.

Everyone I know is unable to go.  I'm not a big fan of going to these things by myself, but I will still go.  I will feel less about myself to let fear stop me.  It will probably be a fun time.

A woman I sold my furniture to about a year ago called yesterday wondering if I wanted to do a health fair next weekend.  I was frustrated that I couldn't since I have a seminar that day.  However it was very nice of her to remember me.  We're both in the local young professional society.  So I'm carrying that good feeling that someone thought of me.

Well need to run to the lunch will let you know how it went.

Help I'm Sinking

I sleep on a air mattress.  My older one was starting to go so I bought a new one a few weeks ago.  So I through it on top of the old one and it was like a real bed.  LOL.  I'm sleeping last night and I felt like the bed was tilted, but didn't think anything of it until I awoke this morning and was wondering why I was so low.  The bottom one died during the night.  I guess you had to be there, but I enjoyed it.  Through all of it I must of slept wrong cause my shoulder hurts today.  Feels better now after some therapy, but it was sore during yoga this morning. 

I smiled and said hello to Tara on the way in and she did like wise, but that was it.  I think she gave me her email address instead of her phone number to let me know she is in her early twenties and not older like I thought.

So I asked this girl Anna I know to lunch tomorrow.  It's a free one given by the radio station.  Nice restaurant and who am I to say no to a free meal.  Hopefully she will agree.

One of patients gave me a big laugh this morning.  Known her and her husband for a few years now.  I was doing muscle work on her and she has gotten a lot of relief from coming to see me.  All of a sudden she was like, "Why did you wife leave you?  Just do this and she should of never left."  Boy did I laugh hard. 

Hanging at Lunch

I know that most of my problems are disease of attitudes.  How I look at things shape my world.  So it has been funny that with me enjoying myself and life more that all my problems have taken a backseat.  Not to say that I don't take care of them, but they just don't suck the life out of me that they use to.

Very happy with my bike purchase and have been getting in some good bike time.  I did upgrade it yesterday with a bottle holder for water.  I looked everywhere for one and finally had to go to the bike shop to get one.  And yes I did take it in with the price.  Oye.

Few of you have asked.  No Tara hasn't contacted me back and I doubt if she will go out with me.  That was the gut feeling I had after she said yes then back peddled.  If it happens great, but since I haven't gone my usual route I'm very okay with it as I will be in class tomorrow.  I've putting to use the information I have learned from you ladies and what I have gotten over the past year of dating.  Really done a lot to getting rid of my focusing.  So thanks.

It was good week last week business wise.  A few more patients than normal, but they were all insurance which is a lot more than my cash rate.  The week looked good until I had 2 reschedules.  Although no complaints a new patient walked in looking for a prescription for pain medication.  Wrong place buddy.  However 12 years of training went into effect to have him become a patient.  So things are balancing back out.

Lastly it was a great relaxing day yesterday that was topped off with a movie I have seen in a long time.  Dr. Strangelove or How I stopped fearing and loved the bomb.  Still a great movie.  LOL.

Sunday

Tired today.  Had to work a lot later than I thought last night, but I got to sleep through Sunday morning which is something I look forward to.  Not much to report.  Life is good and little to complain about.  The weather cleared out really nice so I will take a bike ride later.  Hopefully my friend Anna will be available to go also.  Enjoy the day everyone.

Yoga Class

Man yoga class was packed today.  I got there early and I was stuck in the back.  Anyway I talked to Tara for a while after class about yoga and her ankle.  Then I asked if she would like to do Starbucks sometime.  She said yes.  However the more she talked she stated that she was starting school and couldn't make any promises.  So we will see.  I'll email her later and see if she is available tomorrow.  Thanks for all the support.

Saturday Morning

Okay from my last entry I really can't tell if you all want me to ask her out or not.  LOL.  I'll tell you later what happend.

Friday

Enjoying my life.  Nuff said.  LOL.  It's true I've been very happy the last few days.  I have things that happen that bug me.  Most of which I have mentioned here.  That's how I work it.  Be aware of it, deal with it, and then move on.  My friends who have gotten use to me always having something on my plate I don't think know what to do.  LOL.

Today I need to work on money priorities.  I can go on impulse or wants to pay for stuff.  I know I am given what I need for the day, but I just need to use it wisely.  So I need to list everything that I need to pay in the next few weeks so that I don't short myself.  Still learning.

Lastly trying not to work myself up about asking my yoga teacher out for coffee tomorrow after class.  Not going to help anything.  However I am finding myself as I decrease the crap in my head being able to use the knowledge I have to see who likes me and who doesn't.  Caught myself last night ready to push a bad situation when I reviewed her body language.

Resentment

Since my comment from my brother the other day of wanting me to help him with all the calls he's getting from our Mom.  I have been having a lot of resentment with him.  Since I haven't talked to him in years my work with him wasn't truly finished.  So I guess this is the time for this work.  Especially with his message this morning of calling our Mom for all of her 3 eye drops during the day.  I guess to him I am still a kid just sitting on his ass all day.

2 Weeks Only

Well it's here for 2 weeks only.  Yes it is the Fat Song.  Check it out.

Well It's Done

Well the whole auction is finished.  Got a cool $50 out of it.  LOL.  Only one person showed up.  I had the finally say on the amount, but I had to agree with the auctioneer it's principle more than the money.  It was uncomfortable when my patient showed up.  However he was his usually asshole self.  He thought he could bid on his own car which he couldn't.  He also thought once he lost the car that his debt would be washed away.  Wrong.  So he became verbally abusive to everyone.  Me, the Sheriff's department, the auctioneer, and the buyers.  The Sheriff actually escorted me to my car because of the way he was acting.  You should never piss them off.  They gave me everything to keep trying to get my money.  The easiest being wait a few months to he gets another car.  LOL.  They said they would do more digging for me to see what he had. 

Grateful to not take to heart all that was said about my character, but it still bothered me.  Guess I am just human. 

A Great View on Religion

Disclaimer ~ The owner of this blog is not responsible for damage to monitors or keyboards by the forceful expulsion of liquids from you oral cavity due to laughter.

I got this from a friend and I just had to share.

"Religion is like a big dick.  It's nice to have, but nobody wants it shoved down their throat."

Double Punch

Well I got the ole double punch tonight.  Both of which I was expecting.

The first was sadness which really surprised me.  The first woman I went out with after 16 years was this lady named M.  She was very attractive and we had a great time.  She didn't want to go out again which was okay with me.  I didn't like that she just wouldn't say so.  There were other things.  Anyway I see her often when I do her valet and we talk.  So tonight I see her walk out with this guy and she is giving him the "look".  I really got sad.  Surprised the hell out of me.  I don't dream about us being together or anything.  I guess she has a special place inside me since she was like my very first date of this new life.

The second has been anger.   The first with my brother who keeps asking me to take more phone calls from our Mom during the day since it interferes with his work.  I love my family.  My stuff is still on the bottom of the pile of importance.  I get the same 6-7 phone calls when I'm with patients.  A friend said it best.  "Tell him to suck it up."  LOL. 

The other was with my Mom who had the insane idea of us sharing and apartment together.  Tried to explain to her that it didn't fix the problem of her being alone since I work two jobs and am never home.  She then got angry that nothing was being done.  I knew she was just frustrated.  However I've had enough years of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse from these people.  Accept what I give or fuck off.  I've cut everyone off in my family because of this crap.  My Mom hangs on by a thread since she is my Mom and I don't seem to be able to cut the rope.

Tomorrow is the Day

Well the day has finally come.  The levy auction of my patient's car.  I would be a little better with it if it wasn't at his house, but I am surprisingly okay with it all.  I guess having dealt with everything to get to this point has prepared me.

Hot for Teacher

What guys ponder.  LOL.  Usually in yoga class I am on the left side of the room.  Last class I got there late and was on the right.  Today was back to normal.  You're all probably thinking what they hell is he babbling about?  Well I was thinking today is my teacher's ass following me around the room?  Cause I could swear she was changed up last class. Maybe I am delusional.  Anyway I had small talked with her last time and found out she has done this for 12 years so she is older than I thought.  Anyway I got a very nice beaming smile when I left today.  I will try to chat with her more Saturday since I needed to run to work today.

As always be careful what you pray and wish for.  Working and praying on enjoying my life more.  So I got my wish this morning when I went to throw the garbage out and the dumpster was over flowing.  A few whiney words later I was walking to the next when I realized what I had wished for.  It was a beautiful peaceful morning.  Drop the bad attitude and it was an enjoyable walk.

Lot of gratitude today with one of my patients.  She use to be across the street from me, but now she is 3 cities away about a 45 minute drive.  Yet she still comes to see me.  Made me feel good. 

My butterfly girl contacted me again today.  Still flitting around.  Can't nail her down on anything except minor stuff.  Not trying to read her mind and I'll see if she ever lands.

Gratitude & Hand Puppets

When I was at work yesterday I got to see many couples walking hand in hand.  Made me want that me in my life again.  However I could tell it was coming from a place of it would make me happy.  In that moment I had forgotten all the happiness I had been in over the last few days.  Something I have been working hard on.  From cleaning the car to setting up my room better.  While these things will not save me they state to me my mind set.  Are they in chaos like me or are they good and in harmony with everything else?  My clean car, my new bed set up, my new bike all nice things, but have given me much pleasure over the last few days since my motivation has been to increase my happiness.  Life is good. 

With that said it reminded me of my friend Jim who died a few years ago from leukemia.  He had this great hand puppet show that I have shown tons of people since it is so great.  The gist of the show is that we attract where we are.  If inside we are healthy, happy people we will be standing tall and attract that.  If we have low self esteem, unhappiness, etc.  we are bend down and can only attract other bent people.  We can't attract a standing tall person since they will see us for what we are.  The rest of the show is that the people who you have around you now will want you to stay down with them as you grow.  Since your changes will show them that they are bent down. 

Sunday Night

Man I am sore today.  Our yoga teacher had us do a LOT of squats yesterday and boy do I feel it today.  The bike ride last night and all the running at work today didn't improve matters. 

I stopped by my friends Easter egg hunt this morning.  It was nice, but few kids where there.  Most I was informed would be there by 11.  Several hundred eggs littered the park.  It was pretty funny.  Everyone was nice and I was glad to stop by for the short time.

It was funny at work today.  I guess the Marriot hotel had some kind of Easter celebration going on because I say the Easter bunny go in.  What was funny was that just as he was getting there a bunch of little kids saw him and started running towards him.  He took off fast into the hotel.  I can see the headlines now, "Easter Bunny mugged by kids."  LOL.

Well I rented some movies and I am going to go rest my weary body.

Saturday Night

It was clean up day.  I finally cleaned the inside of my car which was still messy and dirty from the move 2 weeks ago.  It's a pleasure not to have crumbs every where.  Forget it when I have my son in the car.  He usually makes a comment about the back seat being messy.  My response is, "well who is the only person who sits back here?   Me," is his answer.  LOL. 

I also cleaned up my room.  The bookshelf needs to be reorganized, but all the carnage that was on the floor is gone.  My bike fits in there and I can still walk around.  Since it is small I need to keep it clean or I will run out of space fast.

I haven't been taking care of my ankle all week so it is sore today.  Doctors make the worse patients.  I know.

My Mom has become a broken record.  Over the last 3-4 days she has called to tell me she has gotten her memory back.  Haven forgotten that she thought she got it back the day before.  It's these little shots of humor that get me through this.

One of my new friends invited me to her family's Easter egg hunt tomorrow which was very nice of her.  I thought it was very nice of her since she really doesn't know me from a hole in the wall.  I can only go for an hour before I have to run to valet, but it will be nice.  Before anyone goes there she is already married.  LOL.

Lastly the hottest day of the year so far and the AC breaks.  Yuck.  At least it will be fixed Monday.  So it will be the fan tonight.  I would like to open the window, but the fire station is right around the corner.  I don't need to hear that at 3 am.

24

Been working on some of the suggestions I have gotten from you all. 

The first one would be I have nothing to lose when I ask someone out which is very true.  I'm not really phased by rejection.  My mind goes to what people think about me which is a load of crap thinking.  So I am working again on dropping this like the bad habit that it is. 

Working on seeing the positive side with dealing with Mom.  I know that she will contact me first and want me to handle stuff before my brother.  So that says something.  Can't be anything good though.  LOL.  I guess low self esteem sneaking its ugly face in there.

Oh I just realized you are all wondering how it went.  LOL.  She told me she doesn't drink coffee ever.  So I take that as a big no.

Decided to pick up a bike today.  Boy has it been a long time since I have ridden.  It was a lot of fun.  A new friend and I are suppose to do some riding soon which I am looking forward to.  Also I can do short local trips with it to save gas.  My Easter present to myself.

Wednesday Musings

Flushing my head out of all the stuff that is in there.  If you don't want to see it just pass it by.

My Mom called in a panic this morning because she got a large check.  Told her just put in the bank.  My brother liquidated her stuff so that we could move her around.  She was so anxious.  Tried to explain to her that know one knows.  Just go cash it and you will be okay.  I remember when I use to deliver jewelry years ago.  No one knows what you have in your bag.  Could be gym stuff?  Could be 60,000 in jewelry?  Learned that from a guy that use to transport jewelry in and out of the country.  I remember I had cashed a large college refund check and the teller was like you sure you want to carry all of that?  I was like no one will know I have it if you would stop making a big deal about it.  LOL.

I see the gas stations around here decided to slow down the speed at which gas is dispensed to make like you are actually getting something.  I almost complained that the thing wasn't working by how slow it was going.

To my amazement my ex sent me back the separation papers so that I could file them for our divorce. Will wonders never cease to exist?

Feel weird today.  I am very happy in my life.  The practice still struggles and money is low, but I enjoy my days more than I every have.  I guess I have accepted a lot instead of being frustrated with what I didn't have.

Boy let me tell you.  You drop a flier in someone's mailbox and boy do you hear it.  So that's 2 crackpots a piece.  2 for mailings and 2 for drop offs.  I'll have to see which causes more nuttiness.

Body Language

Well since I see myself getting into the dating scene again.  I think I better study up on reading body language.  Probably would of helped 17 years ago.

GOOD SIGNS

She smiles frequently at you.

She turns to face you.

Looks down when you look at her.

BAD SIGNS

Looks around the room when looked at.

Crosses arms or legs.  Faces away.

Flips you the finger, throws her drink in your lap, and leaves the room.

Yep I think I got it all down now.

The Guiding Mike

Welcome again to another episode of the Guiding Mike.  If you missed last episode don't worry it's all new. 

Well today find me talking to this girl S who I remarked on her witty comment a few days ago.  We've communicated a few times since then.   Actually she has always initiated the conversation.  So I tried to steer the conversation yesterday to what does she like to do her free time.  She blew right over it.  Today she stopped by to say hi said a few things and went back to work. 

I take it she likes me since she keeps stopping by to say hi.  However the blow over with me trying to find out more about her raises my eyebrow.  I don't want to raise my caution to incredible heights.  It reminds me of Woody Allen in Play it Again Sam. 

Allen ~ Look at the results (of my high standards)

Friend ~ Yeah you never got a date in high school.

I don't want to be too picky, but I also don't want to be the type of guy if you say hello to me I ask you out.  Oh where is Captain Subtext when you need him. 

Follow Your Dream

Hey if you like light sabre duels follow this link.

A kid and his friend made this video to show off their talent.  Now the kid works for Lucas Entertainment.  Hey dreams can come true.

Stress

A big thing with most of my patients is stress.  Most think it is normal and do give it a second thought.  So I found a list of points that you can check yourself to see how you are doing.

You Know You're Too Stressed If...

1. Relatives that have been dead for years come visit you and suggest that you should get some rest.

2. You can achieve a "Runners High" by sitting up.

3. You say the same sentence over and over again, not realizing that you have said it before.

4. The Sun is too loud.

5. Trees begin chasing you.

6. You can see individual air molecules vibrating.

7. You begin to explore the possibility of setting up an I.V. drip solution of espresso.

8. You wonder if brewing is really a necessary step in the consumption of coffee.

9. You can hear mimes.

10. You believe that if you think hard enough, you can fly.

11. Things become "Very Clear."

12. You ask the drive-thru attendant if you can get your order to go.

13. You begin speaking in a language that only you and Channelers can understand.

14. You say the same sentence over and over again, not realizing that you have said it before.

15. You keep yelling "STOP TOUCHING ME!" even though you are the only one in the room.

16. Your heart beats in 7/8 time.

17. David Lynch comes up to you and says: "Hey! Can I film you?"

18. You and Reality file for divorce.

19. You can skip without a rope.

20. It appears that people are speaking to you in binary code.

21. You have great revelations concerning: Life, the Universe, and Everything else, but can't quite find the words for them before the white glow disappears, leaving you more confused than before.

22. You can travel without moving.

23. Antacid tablets become your sole source of nutrition.

24. You discover the aesthetic beauty of office supplies.

25. You begin to talk to yourself, then disagree about the subject, get into a nasty row over it, lose, and refuse to speak to yourself for the rest of the night.

26. Teddy bears begin to bully you for milk and cookies.

27. You have an irresistible urge to bite the noses of the people you are talking to.

Finally

Well after 8 years my brother and I talked tonight on the phone.  We discussed everything about our Mom.  Easier to talk to him then my SIL.  Her voice grates on me.  He seems to be running the show and I was happy to pass the baton onto him.  He asked if I could call our Mom at night to remind her to take her medicine.  A few other minor things.  So at least a few things are settled.

Thoughts

Was trying to set up meals being delivered to her house and all she would have to do is pop it in the microwave.  Less than $50 a week.  Hey I would do it for me.  LOL.  However my Mom informed me that my brother got rid of my Mom's financial advisor and that he was doing it now.  Far as I know he does advertising and marketing.  This new branch is new to me.  Whether he gave it to his finacial person or is doing it himself is beyond me.  It does rub me the wrong way.  I don't like that attitude of do it all yourself.  I know it well since I use to be that way.  There is plenty of help out there with more qualified individuals.  If my Mom didn't keep asking me for help I would just wash my hands of this business and just keep in contact.  So I am not quite sure what my part in the play is.  I have left a message and hopefully will get some answers later on.

What We Learn From Horror Movies

Someone commented in my last entry that you couldn't learn much from horror movies, but I beg to differ.  I don't like them and don't watch them, but they have very useful information.

 

You can learn a lot from horror movies.  The ultimate weapon against evil is the flashlight.  You see it all the time.  Some scary noise in the house.  Should you get a gun, knife, nah get the flashlight.

 

Also always go with your gut.  The walls may be bleeding, your kids and furniture are mysteriously sliding around the house, and a strange demonic voice is yelling, "get the f*ck out of the house."  But hey your gut says it's okay you should listen.

 

Always, always buy land on desecrated Native American burial grounds were they have been reburied upside down and pissed on.  The assessment values on these properties always skyrocket.

 

See you can learn a lot.

Things We Learned From Movies

If you are like me you like movies.  Through the years I have learned many things and I would like to share them with you.

Things We Learnd From The Movies

*During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

*All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.

*Beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman; but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

*The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there, and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty

*Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

*A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

*Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.

*If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

*Cars that crash will invariably burst into flames.

*Stripping to the waist can make a man invulnerable to bullets.

*If you find yourself caught up in a misunderstanding that could be cleared up quickly with a simple explanation, for goodness sake, keep your mouth shut.

*Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.

*A cough is usually the sign of a terminal illness.

*All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts, so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

*When in love, it is customary to burst into song.

*When confronted by an evil international terrorist, sarcasm and wisecracks are your best weapons.

*One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them than 20 men firing at 1 man.

*If being fired at by Germans, hide in a river - or even a bath. German bullets are unable to penetrate water.

*Laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of an invading alien civilization.

*Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper clippings - especially if any of their family or friends have died in a strange boating accident.

*All computer disks will work in all computers, regardless of software.

*Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

*When they are alone, foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

*If you are a hero, you never face charges for manslaughter or criminal damage despite laying entire cities to waste by your actions.

*You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

*Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds - unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.

*You can tell if somebody is British because he will be wearing a bow tie.

*When driving a car, it is normal to look not at the road but rather at the person sitting beside you or in the back seat for the entire journey.

*Taxi drivers don't require exact or even approximate payment - the first bill you pull from your pocket is always correct.

*Having a job of any kind will make a father forget his son's eighth birthday.

*Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before retirement.

*The more a man and a woman hate each other, the more likely they will fall in love.

Sunday Night

Well I had a first last night.  I sprained my ankle running for my first car of the night at work.  Twisted enough times before, but this one really hurt.  Grateful to have done it on the inside instead of the outside of the ankle.  More sturdy on the inside so that I am still able to use the foot with little difficulty. 

Boy do I love Sunday mornings. I don't like to see them just sleep right on through them.  Oh it's beautiful.  As you can see I know longer have a child as a alarm clock.

I whiled my afternoon away at Starbucks writing more of my book.  Slowly getting there.  About 30 pages now.  It is a really good exercise against my perfectionism.  If I am trying to make it perfect I end up writing nothing.

My Mom is starting to bother me.  She has forever called me for little stuff.  Half the time I think she just wants someone to talk to.  However now a days with her memory problems its been kicked up a notch.  Last night it was for her friends phone number.  Today it was could I order food for her.  If I was in a better position when she called maybe I could help, but work and Starbucks not the greatest places for me to find the information.

Met a nice woman today who sings very lovely.  Yes I am moving on.  I'll keep you informed.

Listen

Listen can you hear that?  That's the sound of silence.  That is also the sound of my response from Chris 36 hours later.  Well like the answer I give out to my women friends.  Be direct and if the guy becomes direct with you great.  If you become direct and he takes off.  Great your better off with the bum out of your life. 

What I am grateful for with this experience around is I didn't focus.  Usually I focus when I ask someone out and I put my life on hold until I have an answer.  This time I caught myself before I went into that mode.  So raise the bar higher for me to clear.

Hey I'm a Guy

I want to thank everyone for all the advice.  After I wrote it last night one of my friends called me so I asked her what she thought.  I could hear her eye balls rolling up into her head as she said, "of course silly".  Hey I'm a guy.  This subtle thing you women due is well below my radar.  Do they teach you this when they separate in class when we are young?  :)  Anyway I asked her directly that I would like to meet her still and that we could do it at the beach.  So I am waiting for a response.  I am agreement with everyone of two strikes and your out.  I'll keep you informed.  Hey this is better than daytime soaps. ;)

Directness

Okay I am a direct guy.  I'm kind of like I bowl.  There are no curve or trick shots.  I just wail the ball straight down the lane.  I do it because that is how I like to be treated direct.  However in the world of dating I see that I am a rare creature.  So I have a question for you women out there.  I asked a woman out a few weeks ago for coffee.  She was busy that weekend and stated she wished it was the week earlier.  Since then I knew she had a big work project since we had talked about it before hand.  She just finished the project.  She asked what I was doing this weekend.  I told her I was busy Sat, but free Sun.  She told me she was working the whole weekend, but hopefully she would get down to the beach for a while Sun.  She told me she just wanted to see what I was up to. 

Okay maybe it's me or a guy thing.  If your free say you are free.  If you hinting at me asking you out again.  The hints need to be a LOT bigger.  Any insight ladies?

Yesterday

Had a good talk with my Mom yesterday.  She said she was getting her memory back.  Most of it came back Tuesday she said and the rest yesterday.  It was good to hear her old voice back.  We had a good laugh at her late night call for food. 

So it seems my bro has picked up a lot of the work for my Mom which is good.  I know years ago he told my Mom just give it all to me.  I think my SIL is making him regret that.  I guess that is what happens when you marry your ex wife's best friend.    Also I found out that my brother said something to my Aunt which caused them to act the way they did.  They are still helping my Mom. 

Well I finally get to look at one of the places today for her.  So we will see how it goes.  I believe it would be better to have her go back north like she wants, but I know it will help to know all the options.

Subconscious Assignment for the Day

Usually my subconscious lets me know what I need to work on via my dreams.  So today's assignment since I have decided to accept it is that wrong actions don't make me a bad person.  Age old thing from the dawn of history that if you did something wrong you and "it" were bad.  It has been something I have always tried to impress upon my son that just his actions were wrong that it didn't mean anything about his character (spoken differently for a liitle guy).  I know for myself it is still ingrained defect.  Over time I have sanded it down, but the area is still rough so it still needs work.  I know it took me ages to understand that you could be angry and love someone at the same time.  Two opposite feelings at the same time.  Now that's just crazy talk. 

A Resentment

I was watching Girl Interrupted last night.  Didn't finish it yet.  The main character is diagnosed with a Borderline Personality Disorder.  The true madness of it is well portrayed, but I enjoyed the movie none the less.  I found out my ex has this disorder after we separated.  It explained a lot.  The movie brought up the memories of not being able to take responsibility for yourself or CATS (Can't Admit To Shit) as I like to call it.  It brought up a lot of angry memories that I don't need to go through just the feelings.  I was angry then and I didn't say anything so I go through the anger now.  Has to come out somewhere.

Tuesday

Well I finally have a date for my levy/auction to take place on the patient that owes me a lot of money and has decided not to pay.  The funny thing was that the sheriff's office was like you know your not going to get all your money for his car.  LMAO.  It's a 10 year old Buick.  I'll be happy to $500 in my pocket by the end of that day.  As always there is a rub.  It has been suggested that I advertise so that people actually show up.  More money out of my pocket.  Tell you for all the money I put into this to get this levy done I will probably break even.  Hopefully it won't be a loss.  A hope is that this screwball will come forward with some kind of real payment plan before then.  The weird part is that it happens at his house.

Sexual Education

  Some interesting facts I found out.  Some I knew some I didn't. 

*Facts about sex*

1) 94% of men lie about their penis size.
According to condom manufacturers, only 6% of men use extra large condoms.

2) The average man is 5 inches long when erect
(no matter what you have heard ladies, that's the truth).

3) 80% of American men are circumsized. Even
though Pediatrics say it is not necessary.

4) No matter what all the ads say, nothing can
make your penis grow but time (most men reach
the end of their growth by the early 20's)

5) There is no correlation between penis size and shoe size, hand size, or nose size.

6) Blue balls does exist! It's technically
called "prostatic congestion."

7) Only 16% of men shave their privates.

+Some stuff on the ladies+
------------------------------

1) Only 9% of women around the globe consider themselves "attractive" (20% of British women do). 43% of women use the term "natural", 24% say they have "average" looks, 8% prefer the term "feminine", 7% say they are "good looking", and 7% say they are "cute", and finally only 2% of women say they are "sexy".

2) An estimated 85% of women wear the wrong
size bra.

3) 60% of women have had breast implants.

4) 75% of women dont like oral sex

5) 95% of women shave their privates.

+Both+
--------------------------------
1) Masturbation is healthy for both men and
women.

2) 70% of highschoolers have had sex before
they have graduated. 27% loose their virginity senior prom night. Only 3% wait until marriage.

3) 95% of men would have sex with a girl after 1 month of dating. Only 10% of women feel this way.

+5 Reasons Why Sex is Good+
---------------------------------------------
1) It is a good workout. Sex burns about 150
calories every half an hour of it. It will lower your cholesterol and improve breathing circulation.

2) You won't get sick. According to research if
you have sex 1-2 times a week you are less likely to get sick.

3) You'll feel happier. You will feel a greater sense of well-being. Women who have more sex were clinically proven to be less depressed than women who dont have sex.

4) Makes you look better - [ problem is, ugly people don`t get any ]. Sex releases hormones in you which make your skin and hair softer and shinier and tone your physique.

5) (The best reason) You will live longer. Studies prove that sex makes you live longer. Men who had sex 1-2 times a week had half the death rate as those who did not indulge themselves at least once a month. It also makes you look younger. If you have sex 3 times a week you may look up to 10 years younger than you really are.

Did You Know?
----------------------------------------
1) Having sex 3 times a week for 1 year adds up
to running 75 miles!!!!

Assisted Living

I've only done a little looking around for someplace for my Mom.  It's been pretty funny so far.  I went to one site and they said they would take loving care of my pet.  I was a bit surprised until I realized I put one letter wrong on the Internet address. 

A lot of places have leases.  I wonder what I could get for my Mom.  Hopefully something decent if I put in a buy out clause after 5 years.  Oh well I guess I will have to talk to a real person to get some real information.

Monday

Happy Monday everyone.

The problem with a sleepy lazy day for me is that all the rest makes it hard for me to sleep the next night.  So I am a little tired today, but very excited.  It's the first official day of my new office.  I really like it and very glad to have made the move.  I just finished all my business paperwork for the day.  So now I am on to look around for places for my Mom.  Don't feel like doing it, but I know if I don't admit it I'll never do it.  It's just calls for information, but like always I like to be Teflon coated.  Just get in and out without anything sticking to me.  We'll see.

I know my ex does nothing without an ulterior motive.  I was very surprised when she agreed out of the blue decided to sign the divorce papers.  My caution was peaked in that she asked for money in the same letter.  I told her I would see what I could do.  Well low and behold still no signed papers.  No surprises there.  I take it I am back in a holding pattern for the moment.

I think I will talk to my son today about my Mom and what is going on.  She usually sends him stuff frequently and it has probably stopped in the last few weeks.  So I don't want him wondering what happened.  Not quite sure how I am going to put it, but it will come to me.

Lazy Day Sunday

Finally got a great night of sleep.  Had to pry my butt out of bed this afternoon.  Went to the gym and I came back for some lunch, but I don't feel like doing anything now.  I wanted to go down to the beach to relax, but I really need to go to my storage unit to get a few pieces of equipment for the office.  The problem is that I am not quite sure where the stuff is. 

I think it is going to be a while to get use to my Mom now.  I got two messages from her this morning.  The first was that she was hungry and didn't know what to do and wanted me to come down.  The second was never mind.  LOL. 

Oh well let me get out of here or I am going to fall asleep at my desk.

Saturday Night

I'm a little off tonight since the family phone calls.  My family seems to be in a lot of pain with all of this.  It has been my place for most of my life to be taking than pain away from everyone.  However years ago I stopped doing this.  So now I get to see everyone else go nuts with the pain.  It's still uncomfortable, but not really that bad.  A lot of gratitude in that.  I just have to watch that I am feeling my feelings.  Cause I can be taking care of all of this very well, but by pass my feelings.  So let's see.  Some fear that I won't be able to do best I can in this.  Some feelings of less than that I can't do more.  Lot of gratitude that I'm not my family.  Uncomfortable talking to my Mom when her short term memory is having problems.  Happy that I am handling this very well.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World

People are just plain nuts.  My Aunt and Uncle are cleaning their hands of my Mom.  not surprised since they didn't want much to do with her when she was well.  My SIL is telling me my Aunt is yelling in the phone 24/7 (meaning that is what my Mom needs) and hanging up the phone.  No questions are being answered or conversations continued.  My SIL seems very hung up since they she is not related to them she would no longer be in contact with them.  LOL.  I don't see the connection, but hey that is just me.  Monday I will look into the area of assisted living for her.  My brother and SIL have looked up there by them, but are finding problems of residency.  So I will see what I can find here.

Everyone still wants me to come down except my Mom.  She now has cleaning services and someone with her 6 hours a day.  Since we don't want her in FL anymore since it is too far for all of us.  Solutions will not be found there. 

The Boys are Back in Town

Well  pretty much after a week off my partner and I were able resume valet again last night.  It was nice that everyone in the building noticied we were missing.  We have some rules placed on us now by the city which kinda suck.  However the cool thing now is that we have a valet loading area which we can have people ticketed for using.  We can't wait to use it on one a-hole who always parks while we are working and adamantly will not move.  Speaking of a-holes I had a big one last night.  We had a joint forces meeting at the club so the customary bomb sniffing dog as there to check the building out.  The guy got out of his truck and I asked him how long he would be since he was in our space.  The guy got in my face and said it would be there till he was finished and was that a good enough answer.  Like fuck you buddy.

Pretty wiped from yesterdays move.  I now have double the space I had.  How I got all the stuff in the smaller place I will never know.  Since I can't find places for it now.  LOL.  But I am excited and it is nice to be able to walk from room to room.
