Bad Day

Grrrrr. So I had a really bad day today and need to clarify some stuff I wrote while extremely tired last night.

1) What I was trying to convey last night is that I am attracted to mostly (pretty much all) straight guys out there and get frustrated that they aren't into dudes while I am drunk. I don't vocalize this at the bar to people, I just think about it and it pisses me off.
2) I really want a New Years kiss and that is not happening if I go up to Springfield.

So, why did I have a bad day? Well, I got to work and did what I had to do all day. I have been frustrated with my job because it leaves zero opportunity for advancement. There is no creativity in the position. It’s pushing paper pretty much.

I have been looking at other options within the company but it’s not exactly the greatest time to be looking for a new job. To make a painful story short, I was told by my manager that because one person from our group is being sent to LA, he is rearranging the entire department’s schedules. I am being put on a 5pm-1am shift… I am working 5am right now. I will have no time to adjust my schedule and will be expected to jump right into the shift and keep my work up. The reason is because we are losing a strong person working nights and they need to fill the gap. I am also ONLY concentrating on one sport and one show. Instead of 2 sports and 2 shows.
I kinda felt like it was a demotion but there are some plus sides that a co-worker and I came up with.
1)    When I worked the later shift, I went to the gym a lot more often
2)    This shift will give me more time to work on my grad school projects
3)    Grad school classes online.
4)    I will be the stronger person working at night and therefore able to shine over others who may be “weaker
It just kinda made my day all blah. Nights… here I come again…

New Years plans

So, this past weekend I started to re-evaluate my New Years plans. I have spent the last two New Years at work. One I got drunk while at work and drank a bottle of champaign on set... last year I was sitting at a desk snuck downstairs to take a swig of Jack.

The year before that I fell down a pair of stairs while trying to make out with a friend of mine and had to be in at work by 9am. I never did get to make out with him, he started dating a friend of mine from high school shortly after that... a girl to boot.

So, I really haven't had a fun New Years in a while. I have never had a New Years kiss and I am spending New Years eve (as of now) at a small house warming party in Springfield Mass.

I will wait for you to process that as I try to as well...

Granted, I will be with some really good friends of mine, the only gay guy there and wasted. Lately when I get super drunk I start having all these fucked up, negative thoughts. Nothing serious, but just confusion as to why I can't seem to luck out with a guy.

Last night for example. I was out drinking with a bunch of friends. It's a night we call Alcoholiday where a buch of friends from college meet up at our favorite bar as undergrads and drink the night away, catching up with everyone and it's always a good time.

There was this waiter/bartender (there always is) and he's one of the nicest guys out there. Not to mention athletic, Italian and just all around hot.  Throughout the night he made a point to come over to me and talk and give me beers. As the night went on my mind wandered about how cute he was and how nice he was being. Of course I started thinking "What if..."

Well, he isn't into guys. I realized that and it just got me down on myself. Although, I did have some fun this past weekend with a guy. I don't know how that will pan out with him being in school right now but we'll see how it goes.

Either way, I am thinking of changing my New Years plans to try and get a kiss from a guy.

Merry Christmas to all my readers!

Motherfucking Giants!

AHHHH WHAT A GAME LAST NIGHT!!!!

Back... in a groove

At one point this summer I was in this groove of eating way too healthy. I had a system... I was also leaving work at Midnight and working out until 1:30am... now I wake up at 4:00am and my eating/work out habits have been lack luster.


I don't understand it! WTF did I do to myself? At one point in August my new "skinny" jeans were getting loose on me. Now I am back in my older "fatter" jeans. About a month ago I had started making a new work out routine on paper. Currently I am doing about 30 minutes, 3x a week on a elliptical.

For me, that is like nothing. I have been lazy and just un-inspired. Work fulltime and grad school took a lot out of me. Next semester I am doing online classes so I will be able to do classes whenever I want. Should take away from some of the stress I was feeling from going to classes for 3 hours at night after working early in the morning.

Anyone out there have some good ideas for me to get back on track?

For those college football nuts out there, ESPN is going to be showing Bowl games pretty much everywhere you can think of. Very cool.

ESPN is gearing up for its most comprehensive multiplatform coverage of the College Football Bowl season yet providing coverage of 29 games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Radio, ESPN360.com and ESPN Mobile TV. ESPN360.com will offer a live simulcast of every ESPN and ESPN2 game telecast as well as both ABC bowls on short turnaround. ESPN Mobile TV will simulcast 23 of the games on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 - 21 of them live.

Fuggin Facebook

Curse you Facebook!

There are times when I love Facebook. Stalking Messaging friends, catching up on pictures, seeing who's wedding I didn't get invited too... the usual...

Well, a few days ago someone from my past friended me on Facebook. She was friends with my little sister growing up and I hadn't seen/talked to/thought of since then. I always say yes because you never know when they will post hot pictures of friends for me to drool over.

Anyway, I accepted the friend request... did the usual "How are you?!!?" wall post and saw a wall posting from some guy with a shirtless pic. Abs, Defined chest... very cute. He belongs to a High School network and I felt like a pervert.

I go work out (more on that later) and I get home to a friend request: It's him. I realize that he is the little guy I would babysit while my sisters were at dance competitions. I am happy he grew up to be a fucking hottie.

He wrote me a message to say what's up and asked me about my kickass job.

Cervesa

Wow, I really miss New York.

I had an awesome time this past weekend. What made it better is that I had a room all to myself in a buddies apartment, but did not put it to good use.

Friday night was a Holiday Party for the show I used to work for. I somehow am still on the e-mail list for the invites and responded. I met up with some former co-workers for food and drinks before hand and then enjoyed the open bar that was provided by the show anchors.

I had a moment with a woman at the party who I interviewed with 5 times while working there who told me I was looking "BANGING"... she was very cougar-ish.

There was a moment with one of the bartenders, who, no matter what, when I came to the bar, would pour me a very strong (or stiff) drink. I thought he had been flirting with me, but apparently he was only doing that for tips.

Saturday, I nursed a hangover and then showed some friends from Detroit around NY. Funny, I don't live there anymore, but still can show people a good time. That night was a birthday party at this bar Calico Jacks.

The bar is a lot of fun if you like a college like atmosphere. I was there for a friends birthday party and you can't beat $3 drinks most of the night.

NYCness

JP Returns to New York tonight to take on some holiday parties. I am pretty excited about getting back into NY after a few weeks. Anyone around that knows the digits should make sure to hit me up after 10:30... aka once open bar is done.

I'm pretty excited that my former show is still throwing a holiday party and still inviting me to the holiday party.

Mister President

No, this is not about Obama... this is about the events of the last month or so.

Almost a month ago I lost a very good friend, fraternity brother and co-worker to suicide. It was one of the toughest times I have ever had. So much so that i talked with a counselor about what happened and what was going on in my head. If anyone reading this has gone through the experience you know it's really good to just talk, talk and talk about everything in your head.

From the experience, I realized how amazing my friends and fraternity brothers are, even though many of us live so far away.

Anyway, back to how the word President. I have never been a President of anything. In high school I was Vice President of the towns Youth Association. My best friend was President, lead of the school play and Captain of the Track team. I always felt like second fiddle.

In college I was Vice President of our Inter-Fraternity Council. Vice... ugh... always second in command.

Last weekend we had a meeting of my fraternity alumni association. We met at a social club at Yale University where it is tradition to drink punch out of a silver trophy and tell stories.

Anyway, at this event our Alumni Association president stepped down and opened the floor for nomminations to replace him. The first name mentioned was mine. I accepted the nomination. It came time for a vote and I was elected President!

I am pretty excited about it because I have been wanting to be more involved on the alumni front. I'm excited.

FInals are OVER!

I honestly did not think that two grad school classes would consume my life as much as they did. God, I feel like I missed so much with you guys.

As always, a lot has happened in life. A little too much to look at the past 3 months or so and not really updating my life via the blog.

I have thought about a lot of stuff over the last few weeks. Moving back to NYC... grad school... what i really want to do.... Normal questions we ask every day.

Anyway, I am back. Hope you guys are still reading.
