Day 1556

Amazing

No job, up all night/sleep all day, new laptop. Yes, my brother was here.

Whatever.

Me? Good, s.m.h., but good. Finally spoke with brotherfromanothermother-he's d.n.s.'ing the Manhattan Run. I give up w/him also.

Me, I'm good. Pat Lafontaine today-get that autograph-Manhattan Run manana, Long Beach Monday. Keep runnin'!!!!!!!

Best of all, Bitch hasn't said shit to me for 2 days, perfect. Bet IT'S glad I have a brother!

Day 1555

:)

Had a great week. Busy as shit @ the job, but with our a.d., we work very well together. He has my attitude-give it your all every day. We have a great relationship (told ya, he's a drummer, played CB's). We finish each other's sentences. Best of all: we're consistent. makes the fam operate smoothly when parents work in an enmeshed fashion.

All week, got my miles, felt GREAT! Also turns out one of the patients knows Dennis. Small world. He paid me the highest compliment when he said I reminded him of Dennis, almost (patient was kind enough NOT to say "minus the crazy.").

End of August, Labor Day weekend, Stoney: nothing.

But me: I'm Satan.

Day 1554

A VERY good day

Lonely, but good.

Sucks that when I get a day off I havta do everything possible to avoid where I sleep, but it is what it is. And no, Pedrito didn't call. He has a hard time handling the truth. It told him all It's warped perception, neglecting to say anything about the REAL dysfunction here. When he heard reality, it took a while to sink in. He can't CONCEIVE the shit I live with. One SMALL example: Bitch never cleans, ever. And the upstairs tv? Why do I render it unuseable during the day? Remember It NEVER made the bed? Fucking pig.

So, had a GREAT day in nyc. started @ AP, got my miles, then hopped the bus, played all day, then to Toxichouse, It was out. Where? Who gives a fuck.

Really had fun riding the Bloombergbike.

Day 1553

Told ya so

Years ago, said Stoney should take half his money n' bank it, spend the other half. Twat's answer? "He should be allowed to do whatever he wants." Today, he has nothing, but manages to smoke. Called it. Knew when college came, the shit would hit the fan. Twat called my brother-It married well didn't It? It's mother? Dead. no other family, so again, shirk all responsibility and hit on mine-after turning them against me.

Twat. Useless twat.

Don't save for your sons college, don't encourage HIM to save, assume ZERO responsibility. Me? Who pays every MOTHERFUCKING bill here? And it expects me to print more??? And yet, I'm not allowed to touch a morsel in the fridge-God forbid I actually move anything.

And no, he still isn't working.

Called it!

He sits around all day, on the computer, on the tv. Doing n-o-t-h-i-n-g.

It enables him.

But I should print $$$$.

Reap what you sow.

Day 1552

Deja vu?

Since there's NO WAY I can actually chill @ Toxichouse-bitch lost Its job (when old people die, this is what happens, good career planning), a day off means get out. Sad, but not entirely bad.

Was like when I used to hang with Pret in nyc.

The reality: Bitch hates me, would love nothing more than for me to pay the bills and live elsewhere. Not gonna happen. Stoney? It's good cop and dad is, of course, Satan. Imagine living in a place where you can't even touch anything in the fridge? THEN, It has the balls to chew me out for not printing $$$ for Stoney's college????? August 27, he hasn't worked a moment in his life, I've told him to bank half of everything, and I gotta print $$$???? Remember, who pays all the bills, does all his own laundry, and must buy all his food? (really sets a great example for Stoney doesn't it? Giving the message that dad is a shit and each in the house must fend for themselves. Ahhhh family. Go teach religion twat. Is THAT what Jesus would do?).

Day 1551

Brush with greatness


Did my St.Francis run-glad to have made it after being on my feet all night the night before-that's a kernel I forgot to mention. For Cheap Trick the crowd was on the feet the entire time-like Nugent.

So, did the turn around, bumped into Walcott. He was walking, said he'd be joining me shortly. Kept me motivated. Helluva guy.

When I, finally, got in, looked up my race results and...AND...UNDER 10!!!!! For me, a miracle. After The Big One was cancelled, lost all motivation. Living with the shit I do, having the one thing I live for taken away, bad. But, daily running paid off!

Sunday, August 25, 2013

Day 1550

YAY!!!!!

I could see Cheap Trick 375 times a year (twice a day sometimes!!!). It is virtually impossible to leave a Cheap Trick concert without smiling.

Started the day with the Percy Sutton 5k. Nice, did ok. Then some movies, avoid toxic house then...THEN...the boys!

WAS in row K, but moved into empty seats 4 rows up. WOW!!!!! See pics below. Really amazing. From the smile of Tom's face to Rick's antics, you immediately sense they love playing as much as you love seeing them. Nice.

Day 1549

"mine"

Bitch goes shopping, strolls in @ the crack of 10, starts cleaning...as I'm trying to fall asleep. Manic twat. AND, RAGES when I ask for quiet. Still think chemo's a good thing do you? Best of all, Stoney takes my note pad to use for stickit notes, to put on the crap the twat put in the fridge. Lesson: everyone can do what they want, but the one who pays the bills.

Can't wait for the fridge to break.

Today will be epic. Race in Harlem. Brings up all the MATC memories. THEN, later this evening, CHEAP TRICK!!!!! :)

Friday, August 23, 2013

Day 1548

Tough, but that's why it's called "work."

Not an easy week, BUT, my unbroken string of daily running made it all worth it.

THAT was the good news, the other news? Been to the gym once weekly.

When I was hurt, lived there, now that asphalt is again beneath my feet, I'm @ peace, though I DO miss my gym peeps.

Thursday, August 22, 2013

Day 1547

WTF?

It bursts in, @ the crack of 9:30, proudly announcing our neighbor has a car for Stoney. Nice. No license, no job, but has a car? I give up.

Could we enable a BIT more. Best of all, It's gonna hit on my brother for $$$. S.M.H.

Got my miles, can't touch me. Life is good. Around me? Shit. Me=good.

Wednesday, August 21, 2013

Day 1546

Hump dayeeeeeee!

Love that Geico commercial.

Doing well, despite total chaos @ work, keeping my head on. My a.d. is a great find, we fit well together. Takes the load off, almost another me, minus the Hunter Thompsonism.

Stoney? Third week of August, spent $59 on a video game, no work. Really productive. Still slays me that our town has an amazing pool, he spent one summer there, years ago, when Bitch had no clue as to what to do. Amazing. If YOU were a teenage male, where would YOU be in summer????? Sure as HELL not smokin' daily and sittin' in front of a computer playing games.

Tuesday, August 20, 2013

Day 1545

Mine

It spent the night caring for some prune, so a quiet night. Before wrapping thigns up, honked the horn, Stoney came out, got cold cuts, It left. Of course he hadda leave "mine" notes all over the fridge. Can't wait 'til the fridge breaks.

This week is the kinda week runners live for. 60's in the am, warm (80's) in the pm. A morning runner's dream.  ;)

Day 1544

Whew!

Was worried, with the evening race Saturday, was worried about my miles yesterday. No prob, did ok. Got my miles, even briefly contemplated the gym-but no. Did the gym when I was injured, don't wanna re-injure due to overworking. Did ok @ the race. Hoped to break 10-I led Big Bird (unusual) as well as Brian (he always starts out too fast then dies), but no. 10:03, soooo close. But, I was under 10 for the first mile split-know what THAT means-whenever I see my split times, I fuck up. If I hadn't taken 5 walk breaks, I would'a been well under 10. Running daily has obviously paid off, my times are improving-best of all: that wasn't my intention. Glad I ran it-it WAS my hometown's first race, and in the evening no less.

Saw The Butler, wow. Ironic that I saw it after bitch makes a comment about Al Sharpton: "isn't he the one with the son in trouble." How white of the Bitch. In its mind, Sharpton=Jesse. Amazing how racism/ignorance comes out. Of course I asked if It's tits needed adjustment, It asked "wtf?" I responded "Pam Anderson, don't implants require adjustment?" It didn't understand the "you all look the same" comparison. Moron.

Entering third week of August, Stoney-still no job.

Sunday, August 18, 2013

Day 1543

Did ok!

Really don't like evening races, but since this one was in my 'hood, hadda.

Started/finished right by where I started golfing, also by the skating rink. Slays me that Stoney spends his summer smoking when there's an amazing pool right here. If I was a kid and had one of those, I'd live there in summer.

But, nonetheless, did ok. One guy I use as my benchmark went out too quick, passed him. Could'a broken 10 mins, but I took breaks-knowing I wanted to run this am I left something in the tank. Don't wanna break my streak.

Saturday, August 17, 2013

Day 1542

!!!!!

After back to back nights @ The Gramercy, starting to think I'm def displaced-my soul lies in Chelsea. Was a great way to wrap the week!

And now, hometown race day. That's half the reason I went last night. Today's race is @ 5pm. Ewwwww. Always said "if you can run after work, you didn't work." But, if you're an evening runner, this is perfect. Either way, no choice, it's right here in my 'hood. (yes, the same hood I hate, but Long Island DOES suck).

Friday, August 16, 2013

Day 1541

:)

Rain's done, weekend looks clear, Bitch out overnight, concert last night, concert tonight, got my miles...life is good!

AND, tomorrow, a 5m race right here in my hood! First time. chamber of commerce is trying to push the nabe. Cool. starts across from where I first started golfing. Wow!

Thursday, August 15, 2013

Day 1540

Down side of the week

Made it through hump day unscathed, doing ok. Miles coming along nicely, though that IT band thing still is sore, just not when running. Odd. Walking, standing hurts. Running is ok. What the hell, my head's good!

Tonight, Gramercy theater, All Stars Tour. Same concert as The Paramount 2 weeks ago, just half the price. Odd. Does that say something about NYC vs. Long Island costs? Does it say something about the venue's costs? Who cares, we rock!!!!!!!

Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Day 1539

It worked out!

Hadda get my miles yesterday (race sat evening, so with that weird time, gotta log those miles daily during the week). Prob was: rain. Good news: it wasn't raining when I left. Usually, this results in the horrible joke of: when I make the turn @ St.Francis the skies open up, soaking me after lulling me into thinking I'd pulled it off-a la Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown @ the last minute. But no, yesterday I made it clear through, showered, back to the unit, THEN the skies opened up. Nice!

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

Day 1538

Prick

Wake up, the little Stoner has "mine" stickit notes stuck on stuff in the fridge. When I tell him how fucked up this is, he starts-he was spoiling for a fight. Unreal. Still think weed doesn't do any harm?

Mid August, still nothing, but smokes daily, nice.

So, hell yes, getting my miles. U kidding? Rain or shine, the one thing I can actually manage.

It? useless. Good parenting. needs to teach more religion. Yay Jesus!

Monday, August 12, 2013

Day 1537

We're Still Alive!

Last night, the last of the "if  we're still alive, we're touring" weekend. Todd @ Westbury. So, fri with Ted, sat with Nick, sun with Todd. NIIICE! Made funnier by the fact that both fri and sun were @ Westbury, in almost the same seats!

Saw Todd 2 The Paramount months ago, walked out. He was in love with his laptop, did some unlistenable shit, and most fans (it turned out) thought the same. Guy behind me as well as peeps in front had the same opinion. He ditched that self indulgent shit and played what we love-and you could tell he loved feeding off the audience's enthusiasm! Funnier STILL: woman in front was w/her galpals taking about how her son was making her nuts smoking. When I asked how old, 17. Another Stoney!!!!! So I'm NOT the only one!

Sunday, August 11, 2013

Day 1536

THAT was unexpected!

Got a FB post from a peep about a free show, outdoors, @ Lincoln Center, NICK LOWE!!!!! Wow! So, after getting my miles yesterday, coming home to do the lawn and showering, headed back to nyc. Again, why the FUCK do I live on Long Island???

Outdoors they have a summer concert series, this was supposed to be Lowe and The Crickets, but one of 'em was sick. All the better. what a helluva night!

Saturday, August 10, 2013

Day 1535

WOW!

Up too late yesterday, after seeing The Nuge (pix below), making a new friend @ the show (next to me, in NA 13 years!), got my miles in this am. STILL was feeding off The Nuge's energy, he's 65 and had the crowd on their feet the entire time!!!

And get a FB post from a peep, Nick Lowe @ Lincoln Center this eve!!!!!

Does it get any better?

YES, BITCH IS AWAY!!!!! There IS a god.

Friday, August 9, 2013

Day 1534

TGIF

Nice to awake knowing there's ZERO balance on my credit cards. How cool!

AND, no rain, yet. Actually might get through the week with consistent mileage.

Tonight, The Nuge @ Westbury!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, August 8, 2013

Day 1533

I'm FREE!!!!!

I never ever ask for my balance when I go to the bank. Figure if I don't have bills kicked back, then I'm ok. BUT, got an angry letter from MasterCard "due to nonpayment.....lower your available credit..." Good, fuck 'em. Only use THAT if they don't take Amex. So, was determined to pay down that mother. Lo and behold, there's plenty to pay off both cards, so, I'm debt FREE!!!!!!! Nice. Got back to the office, called Deferred Comp, bumped up my contribution to the max. Niiice.

And all this because I wouldn't take "no" for an answer. This am through sat, rain was predicted. No matter, I'm determined to run, wore my rain footwear, lo and behold-no rain (during my run). This eve rain but, got my miles in!

Life is good. Bitch away @ Its groupies upstate for a few days, life is REALLY good!

Oh, and why isn't Stoney working? No Social Security card. Good thing Bitch kept it for him, now neither knows where it is.

But I'm Satan. Debt free Satan.

Wednesday, August 7, 2013

Day 1532

Beat it!

The rain that is. This time of year, showers are predicted to pop up @ the most inconvenient moments. So, got up EXTRA early (3!!!) to get my miles.  Hey, when you work @ a desk, it's not that big a deal!

Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Day 1531

Into the breach!

Shit hit the fan @ work, no problem. The great part of my job is, when they're not busy being idiots, the staff do a great job. It's when things are quiet that they can't help themselves from going totally defcon 9.

So, how'd it not rattle me? Got my miles in, so, all was well.

Nice and cool-er in the am, perfect!

Monday, August 5, 2013

Day 1530

Good to be back!

GREAT weekend, but good to hit The Line again. Was cool, almost crisp. when the shirt stays on, it's cool. Felt really good to get good miles in again, with no water stops.

Sunday, August 4, 2013

Day 1529

Back into a pumpkin!

My NYC weekend comes to a close, sniff sniff. Did REALLY well this am @ the Brooklyn Bridge Run. Broke 10 mins!!!!!!!! Shocked, but happy. No walking at all. Then, back to my hotel, grab my shit and see some flicks before heading back to Toxichouse.

This weekend reminds me how half my life centers around Chelsea, feel like 23rd st is in my blood!

But alas...back into a pumpkin.

Though it WAS a hoot bumping into our psychiatrist in The Village!

Saturday, August 3, 2013

Day 1528

You'll never guess who I bumped into today? My Dim Sum Alley Pond peep! Nice!!!!!!! His name is John, and he finished 30 secs ahead of me. No matter. I'm loving nyc!!!!!!! 5m this am, concert tonight @ The Gramercy, Brooklyn Bridge 5k manana. A terrific weekend!!!!!

Spending the weekend in nyc. Worth every penny!

Friday, August 2, 2013

Day 1527

TGIF

Was a good week, busy, out of my usual groove, but good.

Felt like living in 3 worlds: NYC-the training on 23rd st, where I spend alotta my free time and near where I spent considerable time in my youth; word-with Pat losing her mind; and running-where everything makes sense.

A good week.

Thursday, August 1, 2013

Day 1526

"Home"

Training's over. It was very good-Hispanic/Latino Cultural sensitivity. BUT, good to be back in the groove. This am, lacin' 'em up, hit The Line, get my miles.

...and then...this weekend...BACK to The City. (god, I can't stand Long Island).
