...This is part of my theraphy to help me get over the Mets.
It's been a while, I've been busy with work but that's not an excuse because it's not like your jobs are any less stressful or anything.
There are a lot of things I have to get off my chest. I missed my friend's wedding. Not just any friend but my best friend throughout my childhood. I didn't even try to go because I didn't think I'd care or he'd care that I didn't make it.
He cared.
And I REALLY cared that I missed it. I missed the most important day of his life and I could've went if I wanted to. I really don't want to go into that today, but maybe this week. I can't even bring myself to email him and apologize. I'm afraid it would sound shallow. When did I become this work-before-everything person. Hell it's just a job. Granted if I didn't do it, it wouldn't get done, but at the same thing who would notice anyway. I'm tired of not having time for my friends. Sometimes it seems like I don't even have time for my friends that live here.
I also really miss my father. He's not dead or anything, thankfully, but I haven't seen him since Mother's Day (how's that for irony) and I miss the guy. If you told me five months had past since I saw him I'd tell you to stop lying, but it's the truth.
And there are some good things happening. My friend Brew just got a columnist job at the Seattle Times and my friend Kellie just got a job at ESPN.com. I'm proud of both of them. I miss both of them. I've known Kellie for years and I felt like Brew and I were becoming really good friends when he left.
Let's see. I'm also going to do a list. Why? Because Mudge does them and it's a cheap way to post something almost daily. However no top 100 or top 50s...that's too much reading and frankly you don't care that my 34th favorite guilty pleasure song is "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe. Matter of fact here's the video:
That's four minutes of your life you'll never get back. :) Remember never trust a big butt and a smile.
Anyway my list is simple. My top 10 David Chappelle skits, all of which are from his now-defunct show "Chappelle's Show" which will be remembered 20 years from now as completely relevant and brilliant television. I bet Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor can't wait until Chappelle joins them in the comedy afterlife so they could make each other laugh endlessly.
