August.... I hardly knew ye...

122038Well Birthday month is coming to a close... and what a month it was... on the sports front, the Yanks have taken a commanding lead in the AL East, and the BoSox are closing in on not even making the playoffs. Tiger, Tiger Woods y'all... is going for five, yeah I said five, in a row this weekend at one of the only tournaments he's never won.

On a personal front this month has been trying at times, joyful at others... from friendships made stronger... to ones rediscovered... to ones dissolved, it has been an experience to say the least... this past week has been one of my favorites, from Mariah (yeah I said Mariah), to coffee shops in the rain, to not feeling like losers by getting italian ice at 8pm. To going to bars in my pajamas to taping bits for my favorite radio program... to lying in bed as it rains and kicking all comers asses in Tiger Woods.... Birthday month has been good to me... I hope it will be good as well to my sister who takes over on Friday... and Cindy as well....

I brought my Kick the Cheat into work today... for what reason I am not yet sure, but one thing I can say is that August has been incredibly stressful for me. And it only looks to get worse, so I'm trying whatever I can to keep the mood light around here because I can tend to be a real dick when I'm mad, or stressed, or both... or maybe I'm just a dick who knows... but maybe if I kick the cheat and make myself laugh the days will go faster... maybe if all the world would just stand up and kick their cheats together, the brother's Chaps would be f-ing rich and the price of gas would drop below $2... now maybe I'm just dreaming folks... or maybe its because the effects of the HUGE green tea I drank on Sunday are just now starting to wear off, but I sense a resurgance in the human spirit... and it starts with the cheat. For those who have no idea who "The Cheat" is... A. you haven't been around me lately and 2. find out more at www.homestarrunner.com .

P.S. Just got an email from Nick Thomas a director I used to work with and he's looking to get the cast of Teacher's Lounge, a play I did, back together for a reunion run... I hope I still have the prat falls in me...
