Further down the spiral.

So my weekend was pretty crappy. Ended up goin out with 3 ladies, 2 of which I never met before. Well turns out that after I buy all three of them drinks, the two of them aren't the least bit interested in even spending some time talking to me. (The other girl is one of my good friends, Stephanie who I consistently have an awesome time whenever we go out.) I mean these two girls were real ice queens. So my buddy & I end up just leavin halfway thru the night, despite the good time I was havin with Steph.

Couple that with Ted dropping me on my head after he picks me up and holds me upside-down for a while. Not only did this hurt my head, but it also gave me a really bad hip pointer and smashed my cell phone. The phone got fixed but the hip got worse.

I tried running my usual mile & wind sprints at rotary on sunday when the hip injury caused me IMMENSE pain in my quadricep. I got thru the mile just fine, but the sprints caused me to limp home. I never had so much pain in my leg before. So, I came home and relaxed for the rest of the day.

Later that day, I watched the Rugrats movie - which usually isn't so bad except the Nicktoons channel played it 3 times that night. Usually I'd just get up and change the channel but in a world where remotes are unheard of and injuries plague me, I figured that my best chance to get out of this weekend alive was to just endure the movie, again, and go to sleep.

Today I wasted an entire day at a customer's house trying to find a pipe that he insisted came out on the RIGHT side of the house when I told him it came out on the left. Always listening to the customer, I went with his advice until I explained to him that the pipe was NOWHERE to be found and that it would be more productive to let me try to dig where I thought the pipe was.

BINGO.

Pipe was where I told him it was from the beginning. I'm gonna eventually stop taking things on the chin.

Lastly, I've re-focused my efforts towards writing enough songs to release my album. (Those of you close to me have been expecting this from me since EARLY 2003, so I apologize.) I've made good use of the weekend to successfully orchestrate two songs and begin work on a third. I've got lyrics and music ready to go for recording. These two new songs have a sort of "Nine Inch Nails" overtone, so they're a bit different than "Pirate Crock" and "Underground Hoes". Please be patient and if you'd like to hear a demo, let me know!

Later on.
