Alright, I'm sorry to have another post about my hair - but seriously - it's so long in the back. I'm not sure I will make it to July without cutting it. I'm sorry GMCLA brothers, but I might not be able to pull off an official 80's hairstyle if this keeps up!

I woke up with Whitney Houston's "Didn't We Almost Have It All" stuck in my head - and I'm asking myself two things:
1) Why? 2) Could there be a song with a more depressing title? Sure, sure - the lyrics talk about recapturing the feeling - but wow. Can you imagine if someone came up to you and said "Didn't we almost have it all? You know you'll never love that way again." I am not sure how I would feel about that. Part of me would want to tell them to stop putting words in my mouth - and I'm sure the other part would wonder if they were right. Damn you hypothetical situation! Today I saw a tweet that linked to a picture of Joel Burns volunteering with an area Habitat for Humanity. So, I responded to that tweet with just a brief comment "you are seriously amazing." - AND HE RESPONDED!!! Can you believe that!?!? He has no idea who I am! Anyway, if you don't know why I'm slightly obsessed with Joel Burns - please watch this video below. And if you can watch it the entire way through without feeling moved, you have no soul. Ok, if you weren't moved, you still most likely have a soul - but come on! How can you watch that and not tear up a bit?!?
Joel - I said it early today, and I'll say it again - you are seriously amazing. Thank you for being such an inspiration and positive voice in the LGBT Community. I'm heading to Nebraska on Wednesday. I just feel like I have so much to do before then (laundry, work stuff, etc.). But it will be nice to go home and just relax - hopefully.
In other news, I went to an event yesterday for a charity my friend feels passionate about - and it was great. Once you paid to get in, you could sign up for all these healing services like massage, hypnosis therapy, hypnosis therapy with art, acupressure, etc. It was really interesting and I felt extremely relaxed afterwards. I keep thinking back to the hypnosis therapy with art workshop - I am not the most artistic person. Give me a song, I will sing it - you wanna dance, let's do this. But give me a paintbrush, and I'll look at you like you've gone crazy. But the point of this workshop was to just paint without judging yourself - and just let yourself be creative without worrying about it. And while I type that - I realize how crazy that makes it sound - and very hippie-esque. But the weird thing is that while I was painting, I didn't care what my painting looked like. And thinking back on it - my painting SUCKED. (I tossed it shortly after leaving the event). But while I was working on it - I was just simply painting just to paint. It was pretty cool. I'm not sure if that's the hypnosis at work - or if I just didn't care what the other strangers in the room thought of my painting skills. Either way, it was a nice feeling. Tonight, I was supposed to go to a friend's fundraising event. It was an event at a gay bar to help raise money for his softball team. For some reason - I read the location of "MJ's" (which is in Silver Lake) and thought "Mickey's" (which is in West Hollywood). So when I entered Mickey's and asked the bouncer where the event was - he just looked at me like I was an idiot (and rightfully so).
Anyway, it wasn't until I asked my friend where MJ's was located - and he said Silver Lake - that I realized my stupidity. So, to the friend that I promised my attendance, I apologize. To the friend that helped me see the error of my ways, thank you. And to the bouncer at Mickey's - call me! My doctor left me a follow-up voicemail this morning... not his staff, but my actual doctor. That's pretty cool.
Now, let's see if he makes house calls! Unfortunately, there aren't any medications that I can take to make me less socially awkward.
I went to my new doctor today - and he is great - but I'm a moron. Why didn't I just ask the nurse to measure how tall I was? Why did I need to tell her the entire story about how I think I'm 5'11" but my boss says I am only 5'10" and can't we just compromise on 5'10.5" --- there was no need. None whatsoever. And, as predicted, the doctor told me I need to start exercising - which I knew he would - but it's just always so painful to hear, you know? So I'm counting tonight as my last night of actual freedom before I start really (seriously) watching what I eat and working out. And with that in mind - I'm heading to Burger King. TRIPLE WHOPPER!!! YEAH!!! (I'm not really heading to Burger King now, but I most likely will have a burger tonight.) I was so excited to wear a new shirt today - until I unfolded it. I have no idea what they do to T-Shirts to get them to crease this way - but Holy Jesus - it doesn't seem to matter how long I steam this thing either - those fold lines are ingrained in the fabric!
Also - I hate April Fools Day. Probably because I'm so gullible. But this year will be a bit more difficult because my boss is a bit of a prankster. Which is great. She's 100% totally awesome. But I know she's going to do something today - I can feel it. HOWEVER - I don't want to go in today thinking everything she says is a joke too, you know? "Steve, we need to evacuate the 3rd floor! There's a fire." "Oh boss, you jokester!" "No, seriously - we have to go." "Sure, sure..." |
