Friends, Romans, Countrymen

What an intersting day. Ups, downs, lefts, rights, ... side to sides (up down, sand the floor, etc.).

1) I signed the papers. I will very soon be half a million dollars in debt. WAHOO. I'm going to be playing college boy again as far as food and fun, but with any luck, inside a couple of years I'll be able to live like a person again. I'll have to pick a date for the "last meal."

2) Got an email from a "co-worker" (I'm not a fan of "subordinate" in this context) about me and my prejudice against English. I thought it rather amusing and relatively annoying at the same time. I knew exactly what was being referenced, but I responded with the following, "I have no idea what you're talking about." I forwarded it to the boss, just in case it comes up again.

3) Long work hours...funny thing though, this isn't a complaint. I actually can't get any "work" done during the day so I wait till later when fewer people are around and I actually enjoy the belief that I'm getting something done...plus, super long hours are an excuse to drive past the gym.

4) Incredibly bad news from one of my favorite families. Their son, also a friend of mine, diagnosed as bi-polar and tried to kill himself. He's ok (all things considered), but brought back some pretty bad memories. I don't pray a lot, as I have little to pray for ... I'm more the thankful type ... but I'm praying he'll be ok.

So ... like I said, up/down, and all around. It's an interesting life we all take for granted. I have my problems but I can safely say I'm happy. It's all we can hope for.
