It's 3:30am - and again I sit on here trying to get tired in order for me to get some sleep. Fuck this shit. Honestly - I don't fucking get it, I really don't. I work from 7am to 330pm at my first job, my 2nd job I start at 4 and work until 1030 - then I go to the gym and work out, tonight I worked out until 1230. Grant it - I am not complaining in the least with the obvious improvements of my health and my girlish figure is starting to come back, lol - But seriously I am up to 45 lbs lost. I haven't weighed myself in a few days - I am hoping that if I don't look at the scale I won't hit the plateau that everyone seems to hit just when shit is going good for them. But anyway - here I sit - mind going a mile a minute not knowing which way is up. I got Donnie Brasco playing in the background on my TV, and listening to some live Eric Clapton - You Look Wonderful Tonight - I am not going to lie, this is one of my favorite songs, the whole CD is a great live album. If ya gotta chance and you like Clapton - I definitely suggest obtaining it by which ever method you choose to.
Ahhhh yes Layla is now on, another great song. The song in itself is a masterpiece but the story behind the song is even better. Well since I got the time it would be my pleasure to inform those who do not know what it is about. Back in the day George Harrison (from the Beatles') and Eric Clapton were pretty good friends, at that time also Harrison was married to Pattie Boyd. Turns out Pattie talked with Clapton when her and Harrison were having marriage troubles - well one thing lead to another and Clapton fell in love with her - He wrote the song Layla for Pattie - the name Layla was actually taken from a story about a princess that was married off by her father to a guy, while this other dude was head over heels in love with her and he went mad because of it ( that part I looked up on the internet ) Fast forward a few years later - Boy divorced Harrison and married....you guessed it Clapton. Harrison even attended their wedding. The marriage lasted a few years - during that time Clapton wrote - You Look Wonderful Tonight for her as well. Fast forward a few years down the road and they ended up getting a divorce. Sweet story ain't it? haha
Well I think I am about ready to try and get some sleep. Still got a lot of time left in the week, and still got a lot of things to do. I cut back yet another day at my 2nd job, so I am hoping this should help me out in the long run - having more free time to keep active and stay outta trouble. I set goals for myself when I started this job that I would get shit paid off, and it's coming together very nicely - I said this job wasn't going to be forever, and I meant it. I said this job was there to pay off my bills so I will be able to focus on getting my ass back to school, I wasn't lying when I said that either.
Oh and one more thing - Fuck Edina. I hate that town - if someone ever has worked there before, especially in retail - I know you will relate, and for those that haven't - thank the heavens that you didn't have to. I have never had to deal with more stuck up people in my life. They think that they are the kings and you are some poor nobody there to service their every need. That shit just pisses me off, they come in and act all high and mighty on my ass. I wish just once or more like once a week I would get a free pass to one of those asses and just tel them how I feel. It's funny though they come in complaining about their job and what they all have to do, and I will agree with them, they look at me with a strange ass look as if saying - how dare you compare yourself to me, especially when you work at OfficeMax. I inform them that I do not work at this job full time, that this is just for some extra cash, and when they ask what my other job is - I tell them I am a disability case manager and they just sorta freeze and are like - oh.
OK - Now I am for real - to bed I go, and in just 2 1/2 hrs I gotta get up for work. This might get a little rough tomorrow morning. lol
Peace
