Back in New England.

I’ll give a quick recap later!

Sawweeet

One more day of work to go. Then I’m driving south to the Mid-Atlantic region. My plans have been stated before, but I am adding in one last swing-swang thing.


Monday night – Bed and Breakfast @ http://www.rittenhousebb.com/ For Sexy Cakers birthday. I’m excited. Supposedly it’s one of the best in the Philly area. I’m excited, it’s going to T off our Bed and Breakfast experiences together. Cuz I do want to start doing those more often!


Now I must go home, finish my painting I was working on last night and pack.


Have a Great Easter!!

Fucking snow


It snowed last night. Snowed. Now it’s all basically melted. But it snowed. It’s almost April and it snowed. What the fuck.

Many Apologies

Been a bit under the weather for the past couple days. Actually I fell off the earth for the past 24 hours in a Nyquil coma. I feel a bit better, just some head conjestion left over. Now I have to catch up with everything I let slide yesterday.

I’ll post tomorrow when I get settled back in to work after being gone for the past couple days.

Easter

For the last …. 3 years I’ve had some memories for Easter. Ms Boyles Easter egg hunt, Philly w/ Eric (DRUNK), and staying as far as I could from home – with the ex (one of many I know).

This year I’ll be back in the Philly suburbs, not drunk, but with sexy cakers family – all 900 of them. In the morning I’ll go to Ali’s for eggs and coffee (I hope.) Then I’m grabbing some spring clothes, a bike and then going to Havertown to be with the girlfriend for three days.

Annoyances of the weekend :

Parents aka Kevin being his normal self. I wanted them to finally meet Jeannie’s parents, but Kevin doesn’t want to travel 2 hours on a holiday to do something for me. I understand not wanting to travel, but god how many times did I have to be in a car during Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays for 8 f’n hours to go see his family? It just blow that yet again I am being let down by my family.

Being in the car forever. It won’t be too bad, but Sparky won’t like me too much after all of it.

I have to leave half way through cakers birthday Tuesday to get back at a decent time for work the next day.

Here’s to another holiday!

Not Too Good With Change

In the past I’ve been horrible with change. Pushing it off till the last second. In the past few months I’ve embraced it instead. Throwing everything into the wind and simply jumping. Slowly the smoke is starting to clear and I am seeing waht is left over. The things that I’m not happy with I’m changing, but it seems that most of the things have ended up as they should.

Things that are changing -

Nipple rings are GONE. I’ve had them long enough, and I’m tired of my nipples being in pain because of the cold.
Weeding out the old. Too much in my life is going well to deal with the things that aren’t. Either people that hold too many bad memories with them. Or people that are simply too self-centered for me to deal with. Yes I’ve fucked up in the past, but I’m tired of re-living it. Maybe that’s bad but I’m moving on.
No more living in the past. Off the last one- It’s gotten old living in memories, or things gone wrong. If this means cleaning out the phone book and old emails, so be it.
Being healthy. I’m not saying I am becoming a veg. or giong to go on this earth shattering diet, but I’m going to make an effort to eat a bit better. Oh, and taking vitamins. I gotta do better at that too.

B to the B

Butch Walker and Others

Last week I made a few purchases of things that I should purchase more of. CD’s. I have a real job now. Which means I should expand my music and literary collections. The three cd’s I bought were the new
Afterglow – Live by Sarah McLachlan
2 of Butch Walkers CD’s.
genius Loves Company by Ray Charles and various other artist

Afterglow – Live – It’s good. What of Sarahs isn’t though?? I mainly bought it for memories from this past summer. The concert, what I was doing in life at that time.. the girl I went with. Etc etc.

Butch Walker – This guy has a few songs that I really like. Mix Tape, If (Jeannie’s Song) and some others. It’s rather pop, but some of his lyrics make me smile

genius Loves Company – My new love for Ray started back in the summer. Him and Ella have become my two fav’s. His compilation cd’s full of duets is brilliant, and rather earth shattering for me. He did so much for the music industry. Breaking so many lines and genres.

Moby – Now I didn’t purchase any new Moby. I actually don’t really like his new stuff. I do like his old, before it became so main stream. I brought them out for work. Needing something that was on the softer side, but not classical/jazz.

Off the music topic -
Venturing back into the city tonight. I want to take the 1×1 with me and ride a bit after the L-word, but I think it would be stupid for me to be doing anything outside. Why you ask? I feel like butt.

My Ass Hates Me

My nose is conjested and the pressure is horrible. Oh, and my ass is a ton of bricks.

I am in pure happiness though. Spring has sprung, and riding is underway. First ride of the season was commuting to and from work yesterday. With all the lost miles added on I would say I rode a total of 45-50 miles easily. My normal commute would be 35 miles, but the main path I would be taking is still snowed in. To work I didn’t get too lost, it was daytime and I could see the signage pretty well (I did take a couple wrong turns though). Now riding home last night was a different matter. I missed a turn and went 8 miles in the wrong direction. Started seeing signs for towns that are south of the city – while I’m trying to go north east of it. Finally got situated, and had to back track. It was good times shared by me and the Kelly.

The Kelly is outfitted in commuter style. Fenders front & rear, lights all over and fatter 700×35c tires… she seems to be happy being ridden though. I’m going to let my body recope and take a slow ride tomorrow on the new c’dale. Wednesday I’ll ride in/home. Same Friday. Maybe Thursday depending how I feel. But I need to work myself back into riding.

I also don’t want to be too tired Saturday. I gotta drive to MD after work @ 6p. Roughly 8-9 hours in the car, nothing too bad. Then I get to see my folks, grab some stuff I left at home – then drive to Philly to be with the gf for her surgery and 24th BIRTHDAY!
