my dog wont bite

quick update. the dog is whining because i have been promising her we are heading to the beach for the last hour now but i keep finding more songs to download from limewire... which brings me to how fucking excited i am for the smashing pumpkins show tonight. at the fillmore. hello! THE SMASHING PUMPKINS AT THE FILLMORE. this has got to be the best week i have had in a long time... which brings me to yesterday. my 4th marathon. my 2nd best time overall. my 3rd san francisco marathon. it was a great run, i'll have more details and pictures later. but for now, it's all about recovery. interestingly enough, i am not stiff at all like i usually am after a marathon. i'm sore, but not stiff. i was worried a concert the day after a marathon would be tough, but with some alcohol and some other happy things, i will be just fine. so i'm off to grab some lunch (starving!) and chill at the beach with the dog for a few hours before coming home to get ready for tonight. thank you to all who supported me yesterday. your messages got me through some tough spots. (i saved most of them, i'm planning to post them!) even more thanks to robin. thank you for being there for me yesterday, for the third time. thank you for the cute flip flops at the finish line. thank you for being my best friend. thank you thank you thank you. love you all. xoxo.

i walk about 6 blocks from the bus stop at 8th and Folsom to work every morning. it's not the greatest neighborhood, but i do walk by a police and sheriff station, so i feel pretty ok about it. i do see weird things though. i had my camera with me and really should have taken photos.

 
1. a slice of bacon in the middle of the sidewalk on 7th. a whole, clean(ish) slice of bacon. no other food around it, like toast or some eggs or even a stray hash brown or remnants of a cheeseburger.

2. a fake louis vuitton suitcase filled with nothing but newspapers and old mustard bottles, sitting next to a fire hydrant.

3. several limousines in the police impound tow yard (maybe this isn't weird, but for some reason i thought it was strange. it would suck to be a passenger of a limo that got repo'ed in the middle of say, wine tasting or your bachelorette party.)

last, but really, the pisser of the whole thing, was fat fred in red. fred was running a little behind today. i usually see him at around 7th and bryant and today, he was just crossing the street at townsend. i was disappointed to not only see that he was wearing little black running shorts, but a SHIRT. it was red. so that was ok. but he was late and wearing a shirt.

work is hosting a party for KFOG live from the archives 14 tonight and i get to go (only 75 employees got tickets!). i'm so excited. robin is coming! i get to show him where i work. i can't wait till he gets here.

it's sort of nice because now i can work until 6:30pm. i've actually made some headway on my desk today. it's been a rough couple of weeks, but hopefully things are starting to calm down. one thing is for sure, we keep selling product - new orders get dumped on my lap every day. job security is a good, good thing.

till next time.

xoxo.

good god i hated monday today. fat fred in red was wearing black shorts today. shot my mood to hell and it continued to get worse from there.

my ipod refuses to stay charged for more than an hour or two. it's driving me crazy. my fancy schmancy headphones are dying, too. either that or the battery is so weak it won't power the headphones fully. i dunno. i guess i'll take a little trip to the apple store. mac store? whatever.

i'm hungry.

i get to take a class at work called "taking your life back". it's how to use outlook effectively. wee.

i also get to take beginning photoshop! woohoo.

i really hate the bus now. people fall asleep on you, park their asses in your face, bump you in the head with their laptops and smell. the ferry is much more comfortable but requires that i leave ON TIME and leave work at exactly the right time or wait for an extra hour. i hate commuting.

i got my hair cut and it's cute. but part of me wishes it was just plain. oh well. at least i can put it in a ponytail and call that plain.

i could complain more, but i'll spare you. will be interesting to see if the mega boom of hits i've had goes away with all this whining.

mac store. book store. food. bed.

xoxo.

4. 5 a.m. sucks.

5. i have had so much traffic to my blog. like, over 400 hits in a day. wtf?

6. THE LATTE MACHINE IS FIXED! god, i love "A" (my alias for where i work. wouldn't want to get dooced

7. i am going to run on the embarcadero today!

8. 5 a.m. sucks.

9. thank GOD the latte machine is fixed.

10. the sushi in the cafe here at "A" is TO DIE FOR. and cheap.

have to get back to work. i need to keep a notepad with me to jot down things i want to blog about. by the time i actually sit down to type, it's all jumbled up in my head. which is pretty much the story of my life.

more later.

xoxo.

i used to love the fourth of july.  i hate it now.  it is purely a reminder of what once was and what is no longer and that sucks and i hate it like some people hate christmas or their birthdays.

i would like nothing more than to head out to the beach and bbq or check out the fastivities in the city or go to the zoo or go for a hike and then lounge by the pool but nothing is good enough right now and i hate knowing that nothing will satisfy me today. 

people have been reminding me a lot lately that it's all about my choice.  how i react, how i choose to respond, how i choose to let something affect me.  well all i have to say to that is it was never my choice to feel this way about today.  i was given no choice and it was a complete life change for me that i had no say in or no control over.  yeah yeah yeah, let go of the control, right?

well whatever.  i think it sucks, still, fifteen years later that you walked out of my life on our holiday and never even said goodbye or i'm sorry or i'll miss you or we'll have out own fourth of july when you come spend every other weekend with me in god forsaken cow town.

yeah, i need therapy.  fine.  i should get over it.  but i'm not.
