Its about me.

I had a dream…

Of New York City.  How strange is that?

And it wasn’t last night.  Last night was this big gap of nothingness.  No dreams, nothing to recall.

But a few nights ago I dreamt of New York City.  Of meeting friends at club there.  A club in some warehouse area that I walked to.  But had a skateboard.  And the people there weren’t really friends, but more old classmates.  Seriously, Matt Thompson, we didn’t hang out in high school.  I’m sure you’re a daper guy, but I haven’t thought about you since we graduated.  Maybe even before that.  But at this club, Matt Thompson, Chris Rabideau (have no idea how to spell his last name without a yearbook), Jen Olden, and some other person I recognized but couldn’t recall their name (maybe someone named Katie or Jamie…. Jamie Glen-something… I don’t know).  All in this club doing whatever people do in clubs.  I’m not sure about that either.  There wasn’t music.  It was dark and there was a bar and weird flashy lights.  And a coatroom.  I remember the coatroom very well.  Cause I checked in my skateboard.  That makes it a club right?

So yeah…. my friends from back when… Colin, Shane, Yousey, Kevin, and Reg.  You ditched me in my dreams.  You bastards.

Cavs Game

CavsTo be perfectly honest, I’m not good at basketball, I don’t ever care about being good at basketball, have never been interested in following basketball, or cared about the sport.

But when I had free tickets to a Cavs game given to me it was a good opportunity to get out with a friend and watch a game.  So I went to my first NBA game last night.

A few conclusions I’ve come to:

A) Basketball is much more interesting when you see the game live

B) Its always fun not knowing any players names. I gave them nicknames and just referred to them by the nickname all. #8 – your name is Spaz. You are the Tazmanian Devil from old WB cartoons on this team. Keep it up, you’ve earned AJ’s favorite Cavs player status. It is a new title, but deserving.

C) Watching Cleveland sports teams is a lot like watching Buffalo sports teams. The teams always know how to suck you in and get your hopes before crushing your soul with a loss.

D) If I get another chance… If anyone wants to come out and go to a game…. I would definitely go to more games. The arena is less than 10 minutes from my apartment, parking is cheap(-ish…. less than $20 for right next to the arena) and its always fun to root for a home team.

Angelo

Angelo is a strange cat.  There are very toys he actually plays with. But these squeaky animal toys are his favorite.  I’ll fall asleep seeing them on the living room floor, and wake up with one in bed with me next to my face.  It’s odd.  On more than one occasion he has woken me up pawing the squeak toys up and down the hall in the apartment. Sam shot this video last night of Angelo playing with a raccoon squeak toy on the bed.

Thumb Pain

Last week I had the thumb pain dream again.

Its hard to describe but in my dream I feel like I can’t keep my thumb straight.  It feels painful and hyperextended.  I spend the whole dream, whatever it is about , holding my thumb with my other hand trying to keep it straight.  I’ve written about this in the past.  The whole dream is, well, just painful.

I generally wake up holding my thumb and honestly believe my brain is making it hurt.

Sometimes I think dreams I have are reoccurring, only to realize they just felt familiar and only happened that one night.  Thankfully I have a blog post a few years ago.  I’m sure I’ve had it since then but man did it hurt last week.

Thumb Pangs

Anyways, I woke up to this today.

Angelo in the morning

Work

I don’t think its ever coming down.

Maybe its a sign that I like my job, but man I want I go back to work.  Its been way to long for me.  This stupid weather has been crazy. I haven’t worked since December 20th.  That is almost 3 weeks ago.  I was ready to go back after a week off.

Staying home isn’t the best for me either. I’m a notorious snacker and Christmas has left our apartment filled with candy and junk food.  I eat healthier when I work.  Although I have started P90X.  I was forced to look for alternative exercise when I the pedal on my trainer stripped the crank, so I couldn’t ride.  I did order another crank set, but it was shipped to work, and we haven’t been back yet.  But I’ve started P90x and we will see how long I stick with it this time.  Last time I think I did two weeks and it had legendary consequences for me that I only share with friends who know the most embarrassing stories about me.

All in all, I’m just waiting for the weather to return to normal, to get back to work, and to get on with life.

Here’s hoping it happens tomorrow.

Plastic Angelo

meisajDaily Life

Plastic AngeloAngelo has this weird fixation with plastic.  Usually it is plastic bags with edges.  Here it was just flimsy plastic that something was wrapped in.  Angelo spent 20 minutes just licking it.  He was in heaven.

He liked it so much that we didn’t through it away for a couple of days.  We just kept this piece of plastic on the floor for Angelo to lick.  He didn’t bite it, just licked it.  Extremely weird.

But he’s my cat.  He can have all the weird tendencies he wants.  So far he licks plastic, announces his poo’s, his spot on the (and will stare you down for it), doors opened for him, and to be touching at least one person when he sleeps on the bed or couch.

Like I said, he’s getting old and can have all the weird tendencies he wants.  We’ll blame it on his steroids.
