After some consideration last month, especially in relation to my little contest/bet/experiment, I decided on a strict "no girls allowed" policy from now until March 21st. Kinda hilarious to think that I have to tell myself that, because it's not like there is a line around the block that has been patiently waiting since July for me to stick my head out the door and say... "Oh yes, I am ready for you all now. Single file, girls." But, you know, that's how it's gonna be.
So, what am I gonna be doing? Have a few visitors planned. Going to be doing a lot of running. Football on Sundays, of course. There's also video games (this helps with the no girls policy, also)... including a new Fallout game. Love Fallout. It's a shooter/RPG set in a post apocalyptic society and if you're a girl reading this right now please stop touching yourself from my suggestive rugged sexuality. Just cut it out. This is a family blog.
Books. Lots of books. Gonna get all up in these Jonathan Franzen books that have been praised to high heaven. A friend of mine from graduate school compared "Freedom" to "East of Eden", which some of you might know is my favorite book. So that perked up my ears. It's currently sitting on my nightstand just waiting for me. But I have to finish the book I'm currently reading before I do that. It's the last of a trilogy, that's further part of a series of trilogies. It's a fantasy book with magical swords, magic, elves, shit like that. You know... that's how I roll. And again, girls... hands where I can see them.
We have a big Halloween party planned. I'll actually be in PA that weekend, as I'm on my way to NJ for a conference on Nov 1-2, so it works out. Trying to figure out what I want to be. I was thinking Dexter, as I found his "kill shirt/kill gloves" on Amazon, but man... I don't know. Dexter wears a skin tight shirt and he's kinda jacked, which I'm not really pulling off at this point. Gotta be authentic, right? If I'm looking for realism, I can always be Grimace, or the Syracuse Orange mascot (is it Otto? I don't fucking know...), maybe a perfect circle, a planet. You get the gist. I gotta think about it still. Might still do Dexter, if I can find an American Apparel long sleeve henley (Dex's preferred murder garb) that fits me right. Which probably isn't the case. Got some time to think about it.
Does it sound like I'm upset about this? Cause I'm actually not at all. I feel like time is absolutely flying. I almost feel like I have no time these days, even though I'm not running around like a madman. I work a lot more than I did the past two years ever since I started my new job a few months ago. A lot of days I don't get home til' 6. Dinner and exercise later and it's 8:30 and then what? I'm almost ready for bed. That leads to me trying to squeeze everything into Saturday (because Sunday is spoken for) and it's just zipping past.
I also realize that I'm gonna save some money and wind up a better person by March 21st so it's all good.
I read this little motivational blurb which was actually quite simple. The gist of it was, do you want to do something? Imagine you started working towards it 4 months ago. The last 4 months seem like they went by really fast right?Picture how far along you would be if you just started 4 months ago. The time would have gone by just as quickly. And I'm trying to live by that.
