Procrastination

I have been meaning to do an update now for a while; I mean a real update. Not sure how the time just slips away from me. I am a procrastinator, a bad one. Even in school. I would never study on a regular basis. I became a master of the all night cram sessions. Staying up all night cramming for a test, or just starting my research for my term paper due the next morning. I always seem to do my best work under pressure. Not this past week though. My boss gave me a project 3 weeks ago and Friday I got called in to show him the results. He was not happy to say the very least. Now I did have my excuses. The first week, he was on vacation, so when I actually had time to work on it, he was not around to clear up some of the questions that have come up on the direction I needed to pursue. The next week, I was out of town wrapping up rollout of a major project we launched. Then last week was spent catching up for the week I was gone. And also hastily trying to compile all the data I needed for what he originally asked me. It was ugly. The worst part is the way I have in pun shining myself far worse than he ever would. I have been in a slump since Friday. I have totally beat myself up over a relatively simply project. I haven't even felt motivated to post a blog. Felt that what I had to say cannot possibly be interesting to anyone.

Luckily I bounce back quickly. I have come to realize just how much control my super ego has on me. Today the boss compliments me to others on how indispensable I am and suddenly my mood changes and I am all gung ho and shit. LOL! I will have it redone and wrapped up by tomorrow morning. All this drama simply because I slacked.

On the home front, K has been working for a whole month now! And he actually seems to be enjoying it! For the first time in 2 and a half years, I think he may have actually found stable work and most importantly, he seems emotionally ready to be back in the work force. For those not familiar with depression, holding down a full time job can be a very difficult thing to do for those who have the illness. It has been a long couple of years. At some point I intend to write about some of the difficulties during those times. Journaling about it has been my major self-help through dealing with it. That and our friends. We are actually starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel, both from a relationship point of view as well as financially. Though I still am keeping my fingers crossed, I am so very proud of him and for all the hard work he went through to get himself to this point. I love you baby!

Picture Time

Wow it has been a while since I have posted! It has been a loooooong couple of weeks. We actually made it out to the Wrangler's beer bust a couple of weeks ago. What a blast! Our friend Johnny made it back to town for a visit and he was actually able to get us out of the house. Funny how bad I felt the next day, and I never even finished my one beer! Actually you pay $7.00 for a cup and then they just keep refilling it all night. Honestly officer, I only had 1 beer.

This is Johnny, a flyboy now living in Utah. Incredible singing voice and ALWAYS full of energy.
This is part of my Cadre. Johnny is on the left, Triskal in the middle and K, my Prince Charming on the right.

Here is Triskal, T and Prince Charming. T is the other part of the Cadre.

I've met all these guys through K. T was the first. Before K and I started dating, T actually used to stalk him. He would have his friends call him when K went to the java shack so that he could come down and try to meet him. He isn't as freaky as that sounds. LOL! He is one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet.

Triskal we have known for a couple years. He grew up here but then got exiled to Florida for a few years. Luckily he came back and now lives just a block from us. He has helped me through some really dark times the past couple of years. He rocks!

Not sure how, but all three are single. Who ever snags one of these sexy boys is gonna be damn lucky!

If it weren't for these guys, K and I would be lost I think. They have been there for us in through thick and thin and each would do absolutely anything for their friends. Between Prince Charming and these guys, I am one lucky fuck!

Little buddy, you finally made it off the island.

I haven't blogged much about New Orleans. I guess because it is just too awful for me to try to get into words. Besides, others have done a much better job than I could have.

In the midst of watching the ongoing horror reports, yesterday they announced that Bob Denver, good ol' Gilligan, has passed away.

Like many, I grew up on reruns of this show. I dreamed of living on a tropical island like that in the show. To this day, my love of tropical places is pervasive in most of my travels. Life there was simple. A wonderful escape for a young kid to go to escape the pains of divorcing parents, loneliness, and the general pains of growing up gay in straight world. It was my haven, my paradise. A place that always made me smile. They always came up with an answer for all of their troubles. I still fantasize about living on a small tropical island. Though I would like to take my prince charming, a small group of friends and my internet connection lol! I will miss you Gilligan but luckily you left us your life on the island on DVD! Think I'll go buy a coconut cream pie.
