well, i've finished that fifth cigarette of the day already. the fifth cigarette of the day is a symbolic one for me. for it's after that cigarette that i typical finish my morning routine and have started to get into whatever work it is i need to be doing on any particular day. so, five ciggies and four cups of coffee later and here i are, still entrenched in my morning activites and nowhere near ready to face the work of the day! i crawled off to be around five this morning. i fell asleep on the sofa while watching "yellow submarine" with julian...he fell asleep too. i carried him to bed and then i joined him...only to wake around 10:40am. i've been up, drinking cigarettes and smoking coffee while doing the morning routine...which goes like this: get up, put on clothing, walk into kitchen, start coffee brewing, brush teeth and pee, go check on kelly and kid (both still asleep), get coffee, fire up computer, check e-mail, write in journal or do something creative, sip several cups of coffee while smoking five cigarettes and then...here we go, let's start the day! this morning process, which works quite nicely for me thank you, typicaly takes about an hour and a half to complete. about one bootleg tape long, it's an essential part of a good day for me.
but today, right now, as i sip yet another cup of good morning america and light my sixth silently burning demon, i'm still doing the morning thing and i'm not really very close to feeling ready to tackle the world...!
and the world needs a lot of tackling these days, this day...i have things i wanted to do with the website, but i have not...i have about 200 un-read e-mail messages in my box...this house is atrociously dis-organized and sloppy and i desparate need to finish working on this room, the office/studio...charlie griggs came over again last night, he really wants my advice and involvement in his band efforts, it intrigues me because of my past but then again, i have so much else to do...things at coopershare are a bit difficult right now too...today a bunch of the bigwigs from corporate are visiting and i need to put in a positive appearance...my new promotions department is experiencing growing pains as the staff grows and changes...the seasons are changing and i'm trying to put together some new marketing plans and we're dealing with all sorts of stupid problems like, we've had NO COMPUTERS since last friday, the phones are sort of messed up and they're still not finished building me a new phone room...on top of all that at work, tonight the ladies who work for me want to throw kelly (me wife) a surprise baby shower...it's been planned for months now and everybody was really looking forward to it; and with the big brass from corporate down today, and this little surprise party planned for the evening (around 6:30pm), today is a red letter day at work! in fact, i'm suppose to go buy a few things for this little party and i'm still wearing my boxer shorts!
kelly had another difficult night last night. pains and such...today is the harvest moon and it's the 13th, a good day to be born on. at this point, any day is a good day to be born as far as i'm concerned. i just want this to be over...kelly is so uncomfortable and our life is so discombobulated and i really want to see this little cherub now!
well, i miss everybody...cassidy the most, but all my family and friends, my on-line friends, myself when i have time to be creative and play...i'm feeling like i should put the moves on it now and get this day going. Sorry i haven't been responding to the posts in the clubs, or keeping in touch on the phone or even in here so much...life is whirling away at an amazing pace and i'm afraid i'm a little caught up in it all!
okay, well, with that said and done, on to the next thing!

i don't have a lot of time to write right now, i have a meeting at the office in about a half hour and i still have yet to shower...i've only been up a mere 30 minutes and the coffee is just now having its desired effects! i'm enjoying "a little help from my friends" right now, we've totally moved our house around and what was once the office/studio area is now the home theater entertainment center...the living room, which is now very empty, will eventually become my office/studio area...julian is going to move into the guest room and his old room will be become the baby's room...we've decide our guests can use one of our bedrooms instead of leaving the room open until they come stay...we only have three bedrooms and, with the kids, we need to use them all! but, right now and until we get some phone lines run into the living room, my office and desk is still in it's old room...that which is now the theater! but it's kind of cool too, i like having the stereo and tv in here where i can see them while i work...
tonight we're going to the garland county fair with my mother and some friends of ours...it's demolition derby night and since we went last year, we're hooked on the "sport"...but for now, gotta go shower and ready myself for this meeting...more again some other time soon...
oh, here's something very cool my brother brian did for me...it's of cassidy and me during our infamous "chalmers crew family cruise 2000 to the carribean"...more on that another time too!
