They throw me a bone just to pick me dry...

  I'm ready to die in obscurity...

  I'm not all that much for holidays. I guess, for a man like me, all they really represent is what's missing in my life. You can bullshit yourself and say you've got the stamina to run the whole race by yourself, but sometimes you realize that there're certain things you missed out on in life.

  I spent my Thanksgiving hung over on my couch watching football. I didn't really plan it that way - actually, I didn't really plan it any particular way, that's just how it worked itself out.

  I was off from work for five straight days. It's okay, but I'd really rather just go back to my job. I always say that I'm no good on my own. I need structure and boundries. I don't like to be off of work for more than two or three days - anything beyond that, and I can get into trouble.

  Sunday was neat. Rob came over. We watched football, ate pizza, and laughed our asses off for most of the afternoon and evening. It was a great day for football. The Bears won. The Raiders actually won against the Chiefs, and Philadelphia played their guts out against New England. We watched Michael Moore's new movie, Sicko after the eight o'clock game was over.

  I spent the rest of the weekend at Ole Tyme Charlie's gettin' loopular...

  I also picked up a nifty little cold, which blossomed a bit in my lungs today, and kept me from getting work done on my car this morning. It sucks. It was cold and raining out today, and I didn't want to take the chance of going out in it and making myself worse. I have to go to work tomorrow no matter what. If I don't, I'll lose three days of holiday pay, which at this time of the year would totally suck for me.

  Other than being a walking snot factory, I'm not feeling all that bad. I've been fighting this off since Friday, thinking it was the sudden change in weather affecting my allergies. I dunno...

  It's a bug. It sucks. I'll probably be feelin' like total shit at work tomorrow.

  I think now I'm just gonna eat some leftover pizza, while I can still taste it, and maybe go back to bed...
