I un-privated the video (that sounds bad) so it should all work good.
WARNING: Long Post Ahead
Oh boy to review last week:
Wednesday: Date night. Date went fine I suppose. I offered to walk her back to her car, she politely declined. Not generally a good sign, but it was a nice time. Not really sure I was even all that interested, but it appears that feeling is mutual. Oh well.
Thrusday: Work convention, Day 1. Go through the standard stuff with everyone gushing about how good I look, and a few not being able to recognize who I was. The presentations were thoroughly disappointing which is nice because it helps reinforce that I'm good at what I do when I see others be not so good at it. Ran into a few old pals and knew what was ins tore for me later that evening. The evening conference reception was nice and got to meet a legend in my business, and he in turn seemed genuinely thrilled to meet me. Also my guess that there could be some TV work coming up seems to be on track as I talked to a guy with a show who says he wants to have me on. Exchanged cards with him and his producer.
Post reception: dear god... I drank a lot of light beer. A. Lot. Took a few of my fellow conventioneers to my local watering hole, and we seemed to attract a whole bunch of other conventioneers who followed us there. Amazing how when you leave a convention center and head to a bar how much the conversation suddenly changes. Made it to last call, unfortunately. Slept in my friend's spare room as he lives close to the bar.
Friday: Left my friend's at around 7:30 am, got home, showered put on my gym clothes and hit the gym for my workout. My friend texted me and when I told him I was working out, he told me how disgusted he was that I could workout after last night. Had a persistent but not very severe hangover. went back to the conference. The presentations improved and there was even something presented that I'm going to further investigate for my work. A non-business friend wound up with free tickets to a local music festival and offered me one, so I went straight from the conference to the music festival. Apparently he had free tickets because his friend was good friends with one of the bands. The upshot is we wound up hanging out with the band at a different bar until late in the evening, again. I didn't drink nearly as much, but still wound up sleeping on my friend's couch rather than do something stupid and try and drive.
Saturday: It should be noted that March in Phoenix is kind of like July everywhere else in the country. Because the baseball teams are here and we've got tons of visitors, it's sort of the big celebration and festival month. Anyway, final day of the conference. Make it down there and am not hungover. Best presentations were on this day. Said my farewells to all of my old and new friends. And left the conference for good having accomplished what I set out to do. Went home, had lunch and prepared for yet another music festival later that night, with the headlining act being Fishbone. They're way past their prime at this point, but it's still nice to see them. Anyway, downtown Phoenix was now fully in its St. Patrick's Day ramp up and everywhere was pretty packed. Had a great time at the festival, saw a lot of music some good some really bad. Had one vodka soda as getting drinks was both expensive and very hard to do with long lines. Which is fine because I'd had more than enough this weekend. Wanted to get in a workout, but there was just no time.
Sunday: And then I rested. Well except for the cardio workout that I was supposed to do on Saturday.
I was truly beat on Sunday. So I did as much housework as I could. Got my workout in and otherwise relaxed while making sure I got back to minding my calories. Did make myself some corned beef for dinner since it's on sale this week for St. Patrick's day.
Was a touch below 180 this morning, so I'm counting that as a win all things considered. Had one of Lucy's "perfect days" today food wise, but pulled a chest muscle doing Hack Squats. So my lifting day became an impromptu cardio day as I stopped lifting and just shot baskets for 15 minutes to finish the workout. The muscle pull is not at all serious, just enough to make me stop doing what I was doing. Should be fine tomorrow.
The tl;dr version? Was busier the last four days than I have been in years, drank way too many calories but did not suffer any ill-effects from them except those calories. Might be on TV soon.
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day (oh boy): going to the baseball game with my parents during the day and then at night I will go out and do something but plan on taking it very easy and staying off the roads regardless. The trains will be running extra late so will likely just take those.
Definitely prefer your hair in this video, combing it forward makes it look rather thin.
I do hope you find the right someone V! I know how lucky I am & would hate to be dating again!
with Mystic- you are awesome & it's only a matter of time before some lucky woman will realise that. Meanwhile.........there's a fine line between looking casual & looking too casual (i.e. don't care one way or another about this date.) I think most women like collared shirts.
