You might have thought that I was dead or had skipped town by the way the newspapers had piled up on the porch. Hardly. I have been running on that lil' hamster treadmill we so pleasantly call "life". Ah, it hasn't been that bad. The only thing that really sucks is the job. Spending day upon day in a box being judged by Christian conservatives gets quite old. Just makes ya wonder how and why things change the way they do.
Other than that, it's pretty cool. I really do enjoyed married life. I have bid my adieus to all of those things that depressed and pissed me off when I was single or "seeing someone".
People from my past keep popping out of the woodwork. Why is it that it's never the good ones? In keeping with the holiday spirit (not the bottled kind), I invited an old acquaintance to our home for Thanksgiving. He moved to Austin in the past 6 months and is having a hard time "adjusting". He kinda crapped the place down when he started whining about old friends of ours who OD'd. Bless their souls, but you have to say goodbye...especially 20 years later. If you must revisit them, DON'T DO IT AT MY FUCKING DINNER TABLE! Call me insensitive, but I've been through all of this a million times. I'm about what's going on now and what's coming. That's when it's time to celebrate because you have managed to stay afloat and even thrive unlike our fallen friends. I was as polite about it as I could be. I haven't heard from him since. When I drove him home that night, I felt that he resented the fact that I am well...happy in my personal life. Why shouldn't I be? I've paid my fuckin' dues tenfold. If you are in your late 40's (him not me) and have to start over like a 20 year old kid because you snorted everything in front of you, that is not my problem.
Sorry for straying off course. If your teacher asks you to list the main idea of this blog, you can just write "Dave is one happy motherfucker when you are not boo hooing in his turkey". You will surely get an A+.
Holiday festive is turning to holiday manic out there, and I'm happy to say that my gift buying salvos are all wrapped up. I love Christmas, and not for the gifts. There's something about it that I find very serene, innocent and soothing. Someone at worked accused me of being a homosexual because I like Christmas. What the FUCK!?! Just because a man has 4 Christmas trees does not mean that he likes to be fucked up the ass by other men. if you do, more power to you. Do what you like. Like what you do. Don't take your miserable shit out on other people. Crawl back into your cocoon and feel sorry for yourself and pray that your disposition will come back into style. By then, you'll probably be dead and everyone will love you for it.
