Mondays come again...
Hey folks. Monday has come yet again and I wonder sometimes why I get up in the mornings. LOL This morning saw me at work for about an hour before having to head to an off-site company meeting that nearly put me to sleep. That was so enjoyable. (Not really) I didn’t want to get up this morning…I managed to actually get a full night sleep last night because I was so exhausted from the weekend.
Yes, boys, your eyes were not deceiving you Saturday night. You did see me in all my half-naked glory on the dance floor over at Ibiza. I figured I needed a night out of fun and decided to hit the club. Glad I did because I had a blast! Ran into a few old friends, made some new ones, and nearly shriveled and the sight and touch of another. But, I made it through the night, dancing with a really hot Marine that my roommate had met a few weeks back. We spent pretty much the entire night together, and then headed back up to Surf City where him and a few buds were crashing at a friend’s house. Went to bed around 530 or 6 after QAF ended. And, no, none of THAT happened. The most we did was make out on the dance floor at the club…we just held each other as we slept. He was still passed out when I left to come home…so I slipped my number in his bag with his wallet. So, we shall see if I get any phone calls. He is getting ready to get deployed south for a few weeks, but that is cool. I know that he has a blast with clubbing…he was all over that dance floor and on the stage. He even went up in the strip contest. If the other Marine didn’t have all his buddies at the club with him, he would have one. C’est le vie.
Saturday night, and Sunday alone at TGI-Friday’s made me realize how much I need to get back out and network again. I had gone through my phone Sunday night to see who I could call to go out to dinner at 8pm (Will was already out with his friends) and realized I have roughly ten people from Wilmington in my phone. Everyone else is either Raleigh, Jacksonville, or out-of-state! That is bad. Once I get fully settled in my new place, I think that I will have to reneg on my “rare club appearance” policy and start hitting it up a couple times a month. Get out, meet people, have a great time, and see what happens from there. I miss my old days in Raleigh and all the friends I had there…met them all pretty much at the club and we would hang out, have dinner or catch a movie several times during the week. So, new life….here I be a’comin’! It is time to get this hot bachelor out there again! (Okay, so I don’t feel like being humble today…sue me!)
Other than that, nothing truly spectacular happened over the weekend. Just on count down now until I sign the lease and get moved to my new place. I aim to move it all over that Friday and plan on not going to bed until I am fully set up. If that means ordering a pizza, popping a bottle of wine or getting some other alcohol, and setting up a movie on the TV (and maybe a few friends to help out), then so be it! I want that place fully functional so I can sleep in a bit on Saturday morning…while I wait for the cable guy to come and set up my digital cable! Time to get all set!
Words of Wisdom
If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then also there is no need to worry. ~ The Dalai Lama
Underlying all Western modes of analysis is a very strong rationalistic tendency - an assumption that everything can be accounted for. ~ The Dalai Lama (how true is that!)
"Prayers take the character of private communications, selfish bargaining with God. It seeks for objects of earthly ambitions and inflames the sense of self. Meditation on the other hand is self-change." -- Sri Radhakrishnan
The great end of art is to strike the imagination with the power of a soul that refuses to admit defeat even in the midst of a collapsing world. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the
end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow". ~ Anonymous
