It's Midnight and I'm Not Famous Yet...

Happy Tuesday everyone! I tell ya, just couldn't make it to the computer yesterday...one of the advantages of being "On Sabbatical". Monday morning rolls around, its raining out, what the hell, I'll get up at the crack of 12:30. Yup, it was one of those weekends. A good weekend nonetheless, one in which I spent plenty of time speaking of this so-called blog I have immersed myself in. Of course, there have been haters, but for the most part, many people enjoy my blog and also I have gotten some pretty good feedback. After all, I created this monster to keep my brain working, keep my thoughts moving in the right direction, and also use this as a vehicle for everyone who cares to help me out and/or give advice during this period in my life. I'd say its almost working at this point!

So Friday evening I was spending time down at the local watering hole, when a friend came up and accused me of plagiarism, stemming from Friday's blog. Umm, point taken, however in order to qualify as plagiarism there must be over 25 readers, so f off. It's not plagiarism, its called paraphrasing. Big difference. I never got arrested in school for paraphrasing...

I did rock the don't-trust-ache all weekend, finally shaving it off Monday afternoon. Some of the comments I received over the weekend: older, creepy, child molester. On that note, figured it may be time to shave. However it did provide a good laugh to many over the past few days.

Saturday night I was approached by a young lady who recently began to read the blog. Not really sure of the extent of her reading, but anyway....she came up to me Saturday night while at another local establishment and said, "I read your blog. Its good, but its too long." Actually no, I think the problem is your brain may be too short. Hey don't read if you can't handle more than 3 consecutive sentences. Don't f with me.

After a "festive" couple days all I wanted to do was to relax on Sunday and watch a little NCAA hoops on the couch, however not possible...I had a fantasy baseball draft down in the melting pot of Massachusetts, Waltham. This was a great opportunity to catch up with some friends I see maybe once a year. To my surprise a handful or so of them have been following the blog, said they enjoyed it, and were encouraging others to follow along. That was nice. Everyone also got a kick out of my killer moustache...

So here I am, hurling myself back in front of the computer on this grayTuesday. I know everyone's psyched. And hopefully the job hunt, as well as the quality of my blogging, will gain a little momentum as the week passes...

Didn't want to write too much today and strain anyone's cerebellum...


And also, when I struggle to come up with a title for a blog, I simply use the title of an old Jimmy Buffett song, in case anyone was wondering...
