long time, no blog

I’ve been in a funk for awhile now. Works fine (give or take), have no personal life (not much new), and still live in parents’ house (sort of).

I’ve started watching Friends the show on DVD and I guess I’m kinda addicted right now. I watched the show off and on when it first came out. But with my job and lifestyle I didn’t get to watch it very often, but I still liked it. With my TiVo I started recording Friends and just watching it to fill slack time and I realized that I was getting to really look forward to watching those shows. I decided a few days ago to pick up the first season on DVD and watch it. 2 days later I finished it and went and bought the second season; less than a day later I finished it. I actually stayed up till 7 am this morning watching them.

I think I am living vicariously through them. After all, my job leaves little time to hang out with my friends, my dating life is non-existent, and they have a lot of fun on the show that I wish I had. But after finishing the second season today I started to get depressed cause I realized that I didn’t have that kind of life and I miss it. The last time I had that kind of time spent with friends and that kind of dating life was more than 2 years ago, which blows. Here I live, in my little studio apartment, in the woods, watching TV, sleeping, playing with my cats and dog, and working. That’s it………….

I have a funny habit of whenever I’m upset, mad, depressed, etc. I start cleaning or working on something. I guess I do it to take my mind off of whatever is upsetting me, but it’s strange. I started getting depressed about how my life is right now, and I trashed about 2 bags worth of crap that has been lying around the house and swept the floor, and cleaned my bathroom (that took awhile). I even do this at work, if I’m having a bad day, I will start making all the pizzas, do work that I’ve been meaning to do for a while, and cleaning stuff that should be clean. I guess I have femalien tendencies, I don’t know.

Till Next Time

Life, One week at a time (give or take)

Monday, May 9th, 2005

The past few weeks have been pretty stressful. My friend was married without any “incidents”. A nice small wedding. It seems he actually found a good woman who won’t try to get between him and his friends. Awesome.

My father and I, drove down to Savannah to check out a Wedgy’s Pizza that has dine-in. It was something of a disappointment. The whole idea was to find out how another Wedgy’s implemented the dine-in idea, except they didn’t have dine-in per se. If someone wanted to dine-in, they ordered their food just like normal and waited for it to be prepared and then took their food, which is packaged just like a carry out order and sit at a table and eat. Our dine-in idea is to have a buffet for the busy times and then full wait staff for the slower times to serve the customers. 

The only good to come out of the trip was that the owner of that Wedgy’s referred us to a person who was selling the equipment from an old italian restaurant. We ended up getting $15-20,000 of equipment for less than $8000. 

My father (who is my partner in this pizza place) and I made a second trip to Savannah to pick up all the equipment a week later (Apr 25/26). It just so happens that both trips fell on my two days off, Monday/Tuesday. So, even though the trips weren’t actually work I still didn’t get my days to relax. I’m esstenially working three weeks straight without a full day off anywhere. No fun. 

So anyway that’s enough of an update for right now.

Till Next Time
