This should be a short piece. I feel like I've been lazy and its time for an update. As I don't have a specific topic on my mind that I am compelled to write about, I will give you more of a "week in review". It was a long week at work. It was such a long week that I needed to spice it up a bit in Lawrence to keep moving forward. Plan A was to make a series of doctored photos for comic relief, which included one of me holding a pile of women's clothes with my head on fire. The team at work not only found it funny, but commented on my creativity. Plan B was to go out for drinks with the team on a Tuesday night. Its safe to say that Lawrence (and its bars) are a bit sketchy to say the least. Lets put it this way, I've had more run-ins with the guys wearing tinfoil crowns on their heads and wonderful capes (that I have to assume they acquired by purchasing a Dracula costume from Ricky's) in the streets of NYC than there were paying customers at this total dive bar in Lawrence. The funny part is that one of the patrons (who likely had more to drink than the entire bus load of losers on Brett Michaels new show) tried to speak with one of my co-workers and it was questionable whether he made more or less sense that those crazy clowns with the tinfoil crowns generally do when they used to yell at me on my way to the gym for being a "white devil". You have no idea how badly I wanted to walk to BK on my way home from the gym in Herald Square and put on one of those kiddy crowns they give you, walk over to my favorite bunch and ask them if I could join! LOL Anyways, I am getting off topic. The night in Lawrence ended with an unexpected trip to Taco Bell and catching the season premier for one of the top 3 shows on TV, Nip/Tuck. I could do a whole blog about that show. It is truely nothing short of superb entertainment. Any show that features storylines like people having sex with your half sibling, a talent agent that kills people and stuffs them like teddy bears, and a daughter poisoning her mom's new girlfriend... has got me as a loyal follower. Wednesday and Thursday were long days at work that I finished off with my classic workout at the gym to get a nice sweat on! Friday I tried something a little different... I followed up my post-work gym session with a little thing I like to call a date. I'm definitely not going into details as that is sure to cause me more headaches than anything, but I will say that my limited exposure to this nice young lady leaves me interested in hanging out more. Since I am a big poker buff I can make a nice analogy. I'd say so far its like looking at your hole cards and seeing a big pocket pair. You haven't seen the flop, turn and river so you dont if your hand is a winner yet, but you definitely like where you're at and have a good feeling about it with the limited info you have to work with! Lastly, there was full weekend of NFL playoffs. So far we have 2 of the 3 teams I definitely dont want to win the Super Bowl eliminated. The Giants were firmly slapped around by the Eagles today and the Colts were already eliminated last week by the lowly Chargers. Its looking good, but like Jack Bauer, I know its always toughest to kill off that last terrorist or villain. I feel good that the Ravens can put away the Steelers and make me a happy camper, but I'm not going to celebrate until I see them dead and buried with my own eyes... because if you don't you could run into Tony Almeida when you least expect it!
