I wrote a play. It had a staged reading that went much better than I ever hoped it would. Now I'm trying to get it published and produced. Other than that, a lot of things in my life have kind of sucked recently, but I'm still kicking. Just thought y'all should know.
So my girlfriend of four years wants to have a "trial separation," or so she told me at 2:30 in the morning when she got home. I was utterly blindsided. My life is falling apart, and on this night, this one night when I don't need to drink alone, I can't get one friend to come out and be with me. Even my ferret just...

Hitting bottom last year was due to so many things hitting me at the same time. Besides still feeling the loss of Annette, I was broke, didn't think I had anyone I could rely on and was suffering from a serious case of loneliness.
Interleague play has something to do with the Sox success. Still, this is the kind of pitching that I thought they had from the beginning. You knew there was something wrong when their most reliable pitcher was Freddy Garcia.
Sorry about the Cubs. I don't think it can get any uglier than last night. I know how you must feel. Just two weeks ago, I thought the Sox season was over and was grateful that the Blackhawks made it a little easier to cope. Now, it looks like the Sox are here to stay.
Who knows? The Bulls may get Lebron, which would probably start another dynasty.

happy birthday man!
I've been really depressed lately, and I'm not really sure why. I need more friends; one can never have too many people to ignore you....

So apparently it's been over a month since I updated, wow. Okay, let's see here....
I finally quit Barnes & Noble, after 9 1/2 years (cue "Hallelujah Chorus"). Part of me wanted to stay on just to reach the ten year mark, but another part of me thought that would be even more depressing. I'm working at a homeless shelter now. It's very eye-opening, and...

Yep. 49 slots higher than they took Brady. Which makes sense only for Zoltan.

Also, to continue our conversation on Denard Robinson:
For some reason, this highlight reel omits his 97 yard TD pass to Roy "Snake Oil" Roundtree.

First Purdue wins to go to the Sweet 16, then the health care bill passes. I call that a good night.

After 5 games, the Sox aren't exactly setting the baseball world on fire. One thing I was right about so far is that the Sox could have the best starting pitching in baseball.
It's a long season, so there's no reason to get upset yet no matter who your team is.

You know, if I think back, I'm sure I can remember a time not too long ago (say, winter break or last semester) when I actually had a social life.... At least the classes that are keeping me busy this semester are fun ones from which I can actually learn something.
By the way, for everyone with a PS3, go play Heavy Rain. Now.

At least you're looking at the bright side and making good use of your time.
Things are bound to pick up. Look at me. I'm 62 and am building an ever-increasing social network, which is leading to an ever-increasing social calendar.

Being social is overrated.
So today I finally beat an SNES game I've had for years for the very first time. I'm not sure what that says about me.

It shows that all the brain cells that were destroyed from all the fun stuff you've done over the years have been restored.

Are you saying that today begins the White Sox inevitable march to the World Series?
I need alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. And I've blacklisted three "friends" since last night, so that means I'll probably be drinking alone. If anyone in the Baltimore area sees my name in the police reports, kindly contact a bail bondsman. Thanks.

Hey, I know you.

You know, with all the things I've been disappointed in lately -- my lack of a decent job, my failure to get any writings published, my lack of money, pretty much anything related to politics -- and the frustration I've felt with where I am in my life, the continued winning ways of the Colts (and hopefully the Longhorns in three weeks) has kept me...

Great hearing from you, my friend.
How many more days until pichers and catchers report to spring training? Except for the Blackhawks, winter sports suck for me.
How's the writing?

It's not so much agonizing as feeling giddy with anticipation. The fact that I have plane ticket in hand and know that this is certain to happen very soon takes some of the edge off.
I'm trying to calm myself. I don't want to peak too soon, after all.

The closest (non-sports related) thing to good news I've had in about two weeks: I just did some math and found out that my credit card debt has gone from hovering at a stable $9,000-$10,000 to $6,000 in just over a year since I signed up with one of those debt consolidation groups. I can't use those three cards, and it's been a hell of...

I've always wondered if these debt consolidation companies were any good. I guess you're an example of their effectiveness. The prospect of being debt free must be a good feeling.
I'm taking a vacation from sports until pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

I'm glad you're hanging in there. Besides all the other things in your life that may suck, it must be awful to be a Cubs fan.
