The first day of the rest of my life 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well yesterday was the first day of the rest of my life. I brought the New Year''s in at a bar in Forth Worth with an incredible friend from Oregon that I hadn''t seen in years. The girl was born a break up counselor. I highly recommend her. While I''ve found that most people, myself included, try to drown themselves in a sea of alcohol when they go through a break up, I decided in the spirit of my new found lifestyle to see what it was like to stay sober. It was startling. I didn''t run the gamut of spurious uncontrollable emotions ranging from sadness to self-doubt to anger to revenge. I was actually able to look back and appreciate the relationship for what it was and find solace that it was over after she wasn''t able to accept me for who I was (or am this year!).I moved into the incredibly beautiful SoCo Urban Lofts downtown Dallas adjacent to the Federal building today. It''s a temporary fix with a friend until I decide definitively where I want to be at this point in
Anyone want to go to Mexico? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So I'm going to Puerto Aventuras next Thursday through Monday for a wedding and have an extra ticket. I bought it for the ex but she's obviously not going...with me anyway. I don't want them to go to waste so just speak up. No kidding. Free airfare and an all-inclusive trip to Mexico
. You won't have to pay for a thing. I asked all of my friends but they have real jobs and can't get off work. I posted an ad on craigslist but it got yanked (don't know why. I guess they assumed I was preying on naive little girls.). I asked a bartender whose name I don't even know but haven't heard back. Nothing. I'm dead serious when I say that I'd take a bum off of the street for pure entertainment value if I didn't think the bride and groom would get pissed. I refuse to believe that I can't make contact with anyone out there who doesn't have a life they can put on hold with an entire week's notice!By the way...you will have to be my cabana girl/drink fetcher if you go...whether you're ma Read more:Anyone
First Media Exposure 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So my hometown paper latched onto the story immediately. The editor who received my press release told me today it would run either Sunday or Tuesday. Either way, I'm happy. I'll scan in a copy and post it here when it runs.So I'm kind of at a loss of what to do with myself right now. I'm still not drinking for fear of once again falling into a 6 month self-destructive (albeit incredible drunk story generating) binge drinking hurricane and most of my good friends live half an hour away. The website is keeping me busy but I need a break every once in a while.What kind of routine do you typically fall into (or avoid) after a break up. Leave comments below... Read more:First

Newest Recruit 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I recruited a partner in crime for Mexico today, an old friend I haven't spent any time with in the last few years, Shannon. Oddly enough, we actually went to Mexico once before many moons ago. She and I were at a bar in Addison once when the bartender maliciously slung drinks in my direction at an unrelenting pace. Unable to retaliate I was helpless but to consume them. Unable to drive home she drug my corpse back to her place, but not before an impromptu photo shoot of cowboy molesting at the park in Las Colinas:Oh. And my car was towed overnight. Don't park at the Walmart next to Duke's!
Cowboys Face the Odds and So Do I 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This week we spell Cowboys
, C-H-O-K-E! My new roommate...wait. Before I start this story...try this on for luck. I already received a notice to vacate my place of residence! I haven't even been here a whole week! The loft is being sold and we have 60 days to vacate. But since I'm looking at the bright side of life this year, I'm just happy they gave me a bit more notice I wouldn't be spending the night here than the 20 minutes my ex gave me.So anyeviction, my new roommate told me that a bunch of guys were going to be getting sloshed on fountains of beer, yelling at televisions, and otherwise being general asses during the Cowboys game at a place called Bone Daddy's. Although I'm currently going through my teetotaler stage, I decided to go since testosteroned obnoxiousness is just as entertaining sober as it is drunk; besides, my plans with the girlfriend fell through this weekend. Guys, if you've never been to this place, grab that crusty sock you keep between the mattress and t
Work is Scary 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The neighborhood I work in makes the film Boyz in the Hood look like a stroll through the Hamptons. Heroin prostitutes talking to fairies frequent the main street into work. The sparse wooded areas around our plant is riddled with liquor bottles, needles, and used condoms. Ghetto supa' stars leanin' way back pump the bass in their mid 90's era ride with $20K worth of aftermarket parts. My first day of work literally afforded me with five minutes of peace before I realized a drive by shooting had occurred the previous weekend and bullet slugs slowly began surfacing in the parking lot. Not too long ago, local authorities used a wrecker to fish a Suburban and four bodies out of pond across the street. In short, I'd feel safer walking past a halfway house after a firearms and cocaine giveaway promotion with a million dollars sticking out of my ass than I do coming to work every day. Last week on the way back from a lunch of what-the-hell-are-you-doing-with-your-life, I was driving und Read more:Scary
It's Been a Rough Couple of Days 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The initial rush of the website is beginning to subside and as a result I subconsciously keep wandering back to the break up. Telling myself to let it go isn't that easy (if I tell you not to think about the color red, what do you see?). Subtle cues and events that should have telegraphed that something was amiss keep surfacing in my mind in that torturous "AHA!" moment. So that's why she stopped bothering me about this or saying that! Hindsight is 20/20 and I feel like I should have caught on but I guess that can be said for any relationship gone sour. The worst part about it all is realizing the lies and deceit at the end. She was always brutally honest with me and I loved that about her, but now I find myself questioning the whole relationship. In a way it helps to let it go, but it also cheapens the whole thing. That hurts more than anything.In the end, I wish her nothing but the best. Despite everything, I think I'm one of a very small handful of people who ended up on the sho Read more:Rough
I Present the Bride and Groom 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Tomorrow we depart for the Mexican wedding and I thought I'd introduce the couple...
When I made the move to Las Vegas I decided to peruse roomates.com as sort of a half ass joke after a rock climbing buddy told me he was contemplating moving in with a stripper he had met online. Later, I came to seriously consider it after realizing I didn't know a soul in the city. Desperate roommates ran the gamut from college students and military personnel, to wannabe singers and entertainers, to guys running scams to bat you over the head and steal your shit as soon as you show up. Sifting through the potential nightmare living arrangements I happened upon a little ole Jewish lady needing to replace her gay roommate who had recently left. I gave her a quick interview in which she spouted off the locations of the six nearest Chipotle's, confided in me that she has trouble keeping plants alive for neglect, and mentioned that on the particular morning I planned on moving in she would likely be dr Read more:Present

Back to My Birthday 2007-08-23 18:20:36 Since I failed to chronicle my actual birthday by instead focusing on the car wreck, let's take a moment to go back a day earlier and reflect on the most magnificent day of the year...the celebration of my mother's crowned achievement of birthing the savior of this miserable planet and its population, me.
The celebration began with the catching up of my beauty rest so I'd look 101 times better than the average person as opposed to the 100 times more beautiful I am than said people on a normal day; it was, after all, my birthday. Nancy and I ate and then whisked away to Plano to take possession of the gift I picked out for the deserving birthday boy which happens to be the laptop that I'm currently banging away on. Expressing gratitude for my own thoughtfulness I treated myself to a midday Read more:Birthday
The Girl Who Drinks Unveiled 2007-08-22 19:49:54 So the Girl Who Drinks
agreed to be more than a epithet on the site with the presupposition that I don’t discuss our sex life. On a positive note, those who don’t know her can now put a face to the liquor disposal. The downside being, however, that sex in future commentary will be limited to that I partake in unaccompanied (unless I decide to give my infant blow up doll a name).So without further ado, here’s Nancy…Me my infant blow up doll
Me and the Girl Who Drinks, Nancy.
My Birthday Weekend Car Wreck 2007-08-20 14:20:20 Saturday was my birthday. Yesterday the Girl Who Drinks and I were involved in a car wreck which totalled her car. After being struck on the back end, her car fishtailed sending us straight in the concrete barrier on the side of the highway where we bounced off, spun around, and crossed the length of the highway to once again smash straight into the opposite side's concrete barrier. The Girl Who Drinks suffered a minor scratch to the foot and some whiplash while I hit my head on the side of the car and had some whiplash which left me with some pain in my back and neck. After a couple of hours in the hospital for x-rays and a CT scan they let me go with some pain relievers and muscle relaxers. I missed work today because I'm drugged up and worthless but I'm fine aside from some pain in my n Read more:Birthday

I'm Moving... 2007-08-17 15:48:51 ...to hell.
Several times a year I embrace my mortality and accept the fact that on those particular days my chances of dying increase exponentially due to the special circumstances that surround them and my generic capriciousness towards my own self-preservation and whimsical antics. Tomorrow is one of those days.
As of tomorrow I’ll be 14 and a half years of age for the second time in my life. In celebration of that milestone of achievement a group of friends will be in attendance that are sure to pour vast quantities of alcohol down my throat not so much for my birthday but in retribution for all of the arbitrary shots I force them to take for inconsequential reasons on inconsequential days throughout the surrounding year. Since it’s a sin to turn down drinks on your birthd Read more:Moving
