A Rather Rocky Re-Entry

Outrageous Outrage

I can't even get angry it's so totally expected. I'm getting fucked on the business again. The Kid worked one hour on Wednesday and two hours on Saturday and got paid a full day in both cases. It's almost unbelievable. Add to that the fact that the old man just isn't very honest with me when it comes to anything and I should be getting pretty pissed off. But I'm not. You can't get all upset when shitty things happen. You just hold your own and wait for your opportunities. In the meantime you just keep on doing what has to be done.

Marinating Watchmen

I still haven't finished thinking about Watchmen. I was talking about it for a bit yesterday and it got me starting thinking about even more things. So still no in-depth review. Just going to keep thinking on it, and thinking on it, and thinking on it. A movie that makes me think this much was totally worth the $18 IMAX ticket. Of course I paid for 17 people to go. So...I've got some more thinking to do.

The Slippery Slope

So I wasn't feeling well last night. Not even that I felt all that sick, just that I was still pretty congested and my head was starting to fall off. I was exhausted right up until I actually decided to go to bed and then I couldn't sleep at all. I found myself sitting up watching a movie I had no interest in watching. Then I found myself trying to sleep again...and still not being able to fall asleep. This does happen fairly regularly, I just wasn't expecting it today. Things had been going well. And suddenly it's one in the morning and I just wish I could pick up the phone and call someone. Just wish there was a connection I could make to get me out of my head for just a a moment. But there wasn't, and there isn't. And for a split second I felt totally alone and distraught. Then just as quickly as that feeling came, it passed. And I was left looking around the room as the shapes of the shadows shifted on the walls, as the air grew thick and slow, ideas hanging down from the ceiling fan blades like thick green vines reaching out to grab me. For a moment I was afraid that the Old Ghosts were up to their old tricks but I quickly realized that something was different, and as I moved across the room I felt the entire world change and I knew what was happening was happening for a reason. Which made a world of difference from the way things used to be. If there's a reason then the riddle can be unraveled. If there's a reason all I need is enough time to figure it out.

Conclusion

I started this entry damn near nine hours ago. When I started I felt like death warmed over, now I just feel sort of eh. So that's improvement. I wasn't planning on going out tonight, but that doesn't mean I'm not disappointed that I ended up not having anywhere to go. There's a certain minor new development here that makes that all the worse, but I'm not going to get into that right now. Right now I'm going to spend a little more time cracking on the books, a little more time marveling at how quickly I'm going bald, and a little more time trying to stand the fuck up before I call it a night and head home. When I get there hopefully I can breathe well enough to get back on the treadmill and I may or may not have something to eat.

So, yeah, still kicking. Bout all I can ask for right now.

Unless inspiration strikes that's all I've got for now...'night all.
