Back to Work

Well Mardi Gras is over and we came-out mostly unscathed. Hung-out with friends yesterday and had a good time, then of course had to return to the grind today. And have a tour tonight, of course. My boss is off all this week so I am hoping when he returns, I will be taking a few days off myself. I am actually not feeling quite as exhausted as I was and really got into the Mardi Gras spirit over the last two days of Mardi Gras, but I am glad it is over and we can take back our city once again. Next up, the Crack Whore Ball!

Balls to the Wall

I have attended two Mardi Gras Balls this year. The MOM's Ball and the Lords of Leather Ball. Both were quite interesting. The Lords was more pageantry but the MOM's Ball was 3000 people in outrageous costumes getting drunk and such. It was awesome, although I got drunk a little quick and was only there for a few hours. My friend Ken (my personal hurricane evacuation route) has been in town all this time and he and I have had a lot of fun. Last night after the Lords Ball he and I went out in full tuxedos. We looked good BTW :) Will have pics posted soon.

Cleandliness is Next to Godlessness

Well I cleaned the apartment to night since I have a friend coming in soon for Mardi Gras. Tim's situation is still on my mind since I spoke to him tonight. I can only imagine what he is dealing with. She is a bit better now but I am still worried about him. But, I am so tired right now, I do not think I have ever been this pulled about. But that may just be me :)
I have abandoned Mardi Gras and just want it over, not to be bitter but damn I am more concerned about my friends/family hehehe

Tim is in Jackson

I just spoke with my friend Tim. His mother is doing very poorly. He is currently in Jackson but may be coming back tonight. She apparently had a massive infection which caused some dilerium that has not subsided. It seems she is rehashing her life from start to finish and only periodically recognizes Tim. Please keep him in your prayers and meditations.

Depressed

For anyone who knows me, periodically I suffer from depression. This would be one of those days. Valentine's Day. Last night I went out and had a great time, woke-up this morning at a hotel in the bed of two very hot men, one was a muscular/stocky guy with a nice hairy chest. The other, his partner was also very cute. Then for some reason as the day progressed I became depressed. I realize that my life consists for work, going out some and sleeping, but even a night like tonight, I went out for a minute and basically didn't really talk to anyone. I am also late in getting the information into the tour company, the rangers are pestering the piss out of me, and I have got to get a tuxedo sometime before now and next Sunday for the Lords of Leather Ball. I think part of me wants a partner to share the pressures of life with because sometimes, even though I have amazing friends, I feel alone. I also had an epiphany last night that, in general, once I get to know people, I tend not to like them. The exception being the people I can friends. Sorry I am being bitter tonight, but I think we are all allowed a bad night/day.

Bicycle Safety

So today, my boss walks in and tells me he needs me to do a presentation on bike safety at 2 (keep in mind if was 12:45 and I have never done a presentation like this before). And it is for a class of 20 kindergarten kids. I love my nieces and nephews, but children in general I dislike. I went, gave the presentation, and everything was fine till my boss walked away and I was left with these children, which was not dissimilar to a swarm of locus descending on a crop. But my boss bought me lunch so I can not complain too much. Well I can but hehe.

Willamena Update

I spoke to Will tonight, he went on a little tour across Florida with various friends and is having a great time. Although, he realizes that he misses the simplicity of bar tending at the Lantern. Apparently, these resort queens have a fancy name for some god awful drink mixtures. Who would ever mix crown, peach schnapps, and kahlua? I am just glad that he is having fun, but not too much fun that he doesn't come back. Is that selfish, wrong? I careless, I like my Willamina. Rick is a good replacement, nice guy and friendly. But not our Will. I am also worried about our Timmy, his mom is having problems. I find myself in a moral conflict: I do not want his Mom to have problems, but at the same time, I see the effect it is having on him. And his sister who is married to a lawyer is bitching about having to help. I am from the school that you take care of your own, so that angers me. But overall things are good :)
