What a “blah” kind of day. It was definitely “one of those” Monday’s. Walked into work to have had the CTO’s laptop die over the weekend. Always fun. Then the day just spiraled from there. Didn’t go to the gym either.

Spent about 3 hours today tattooing on myself. Yes, I said “on myself.” Attempting to finish up a portion of my leg piece. Still have a bit to go. Pictures to follow soon… somewhere.

I’m not sure why, but this song has a permanent home in my heart.

People live below me, up above me, to the side;
Even if I wanted to I got no place good to hide.
Concrete is my color and commerce it’s my pride.
Get me out of here.

No one should live like this.
Get me out of here.
From the subway’s steamy kiss.
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss.
Get me out of here.
‘Cause I can’t live like this.

Alone along the crowded streets amongst the circus freaks,

I saw Jezebel and Claribel and they were begging “mister please.”
“You can help me too”, I said and gave them my T.V.
Get me out of here.
No one should live like this.
Get me out of here.
From the subway’s steamy kiss.
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss.

Get me out of here.
‘Cause I can’t live like…
My hands are twitching brain is frazzled;
Carryin’ on in fits.
I can’t carry on in this frenzied state I’m in.
Out of here…

Out of here…

The last time that I saw you, you were wearing your disguise;
And hiding from some lawyers who were buzzing, gray haired flies.
Dried out, bloodshot eyes—have you forgotten how to cry?
Get me out of here.
No one should live like this.
Get me out of here.
From the subway’s steamy kiss.

Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss.
Get me out of here.
‘Cause I can’t live like…
Out of here…
‘Cause I can’t live like this.

Sadly, this group is no longer together (but you might recognize one of the members as Kristian Bush from Sugarland).

Today is my nephew’s birthday. Happy Birthday Austin!

I spent the night drinking with some friends. Sometimes I think I’m too old for this, but I always have fun. I guess maybe I am playing catch up?

Woo hoo! Day three at the gym. Arms and more cardio. I’m sure I’ll stop talking about the gym sooner or later. But it’s new to me, and one of the few things on my mind at the moment.
