It's the last day of what can only be described as a suck-ass year. I generally try to maintain a positive attitude at all times, and I know I sometimes fail to do that...but I can only look back at 2008 and reflect on so many things that went haywire, at least as they pertain to me. I get the feeling many are feeling the same way these days...
Am I optimistic for 2009? Yes...again, I try to keep a positive outlook. The key is, do I have a plan? Alas, I do...
If things work out as intended, I will be a healthier, happier, wealthier guy finding his way in '09. I'll be walking that narrow path of change, and all for the better. My career, my relationships, my thinking, will be dramatically different than it is now...
The plan? Well, I am not going to share that just yet, as I want to see some things come to fruition lest I jinx it early on...
Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year and a great 2009! Enjoy yourselves, but lets be careful out there, mmkay?

Ten Things
Ok, so The Blazing One hit me up with the pass-along thing, and ONLY because it is Mistress Blaze will I play along (ya hear that, woman?!)...
I'm supposed to list 10 honest, and interesting things about myself and pass it along to 7 others. Hell, I don't know 7 others in the blogsphere any more, so I'll spare MOST of you some pain. Here's my 10:
1) I just finished jacking off. Nice...and at my old office, I wanked my wood on more than one occasion in the bathroom.
2) I'm a dipper. I love over easy eggs, and I dip my toast in them to soak up the yolk before devouring the rest of it. People who cut up over easy eggs have always made me wonder...
3) Many moons ago, I got out of the US Navy by throwing my chair at the XO. For those who have served in the military, you know that usually entails a court martial of sorts, or at the least, some restriction. I never received anything other than a trip to the 5th floor to be evaluated for 'mental anguish'. The truth is, I was a personnelman and knew every way to get out the Navy with an honorable discharge and that is the route I chose - 'incompatibility with military life' was the final diagnosis. The other way (back then) was to act gay and perform an act. I wasn't going there. One of the top 5 days of my life when I got out.
4) I have only had one 3-some. What's worse, it was with my best friend in high school and I double-teaming on a girl. Nooo...none of our parts touched! Truth is, we kinda took turns, and it wasn't full-tilt bozo action. I never actually did tap that girl...
5) I grew up on a farm in the midwest. And there were times when one was out in the field or away from the house that you had to do your business. On a few occasions, I wiped my ass with leaves, and I remember using a corn cob once. There is a reason Charmin holds a very special place in my heart.
6) I still have dreams of being a fry cook in high school. My wife has told me she has heard me say some shit in my sleep about it. It was kinda a Denny's type place, and I really did enjoy it. Hell, I remember working the graveyard and doing one of the hot, albeit completely goofy, waitresses as customers waited out front for their post-drunk breakfasts. Ahh, good times...
7) I have slept with one of my wife's current best friends...and no, she hasn't the slightest.
8) At my old firm where I served as a portfolio manager/analyst/trader, I lost $85k on my very first trade. My boss must have thought, who the hell is this clown I just hired? I can even remember that piece of shit stock, AVNX. Luckily, all my trades weren't that bad.
9) I briefly spoke with Jerry Jones of the Cowboys once when he was walking into Sevy's in Dallas. I told him thank you for picking up Anthony Henry as a free agent to be a cover corner for us. He said thanks and appreciated it, asked if me and my friends were having a good time, and moved along. I wish I could go back and tell him what a dumbass he was for picking up Henry and how much he sucks and should be let go.
10) The last one gets a 'double'...When I was in training classes in Arizona earlier this year, I was known somewhat as the life of the party. I was secretly proud when some of my compradres there referred to me as "The Michael Phelps of drinking." What's more, an attractive female with an obvious tilt towards the zany loved me for it, and I could have shagged it. Alas, I didn't - total fucking dumbass! But only because when we retired to the room with one of the instructors, he had the same thing on his mind, and I didn't want to be a total fucktard, so I just walked away and went to my room. No need to fuck up my lame career early on, right? I found out the next morning she didn't want to go there with him, but me... Ahh...blown chances...but I'll live to fight another day ;-)
And as for passing this along, I am only going to give it to one guy...one of the first guys I read on the blogs. A guy who has entertained all of us many times with his stories of the past...So c'mon Trashy, lets hear it...
If I have the opportunity to post on the last day of the year, I will do so. But in the event I don't have that chance, may the new year bring ya'll much happiness and all the things you desire. Lord knows 2008 sucked ass, and I'm soooo looking forward to 2009...I have a plan...

Sucks
What a fitting end to a fucked up 2008 season...and year.
The Cowboys are awful, and I can only feel like it is the ebb before the flow...
It will get better, I must have the belief...but for Lord's sake, get rid of Phillips now...
Fuck it...it is what it is...fuck it all.

Tick Tock
I cannot believe Christmas is only a week away. And exactly how much shopping have I got done? Zero, Zip, Nada, Zilch. Well, I did order one online item which should hopefully arrive by that time, but other than that, I still have some things to get.
My family finally got around to bugging me if I am going to make it down to Austin this year. I have no desire to, but my son does want to see his cousins, so we'll see what happens there. Listening to my mother be negative, and my brother brag is just not my idea of a good time. But I guess one does for his kids things he normally wouldn't do.
Rented 'Don't mess with the Zohan'. It's kinda like Family Guy in that it is so crude in places that you just have to laugh. I am not a big fan of Adam Sandler, but this did have some funny things in it. It's good for a renter, but not a buy.
And you see how exciting my life is right now, huh? How can one be so busy, yet not have much going on? Hmm...something to ponder.
Lost my playoff game in fantasy football...by two freakin' points! Ugh. Now I play for 3rd place, which means if I win I get my entry fee back. Lets hope my running backs actually do something for me this week.

Have a Q
So, the question is this -
What would you do with an attractive 5'9" blond, smart, with a great rack?
Just askin'.
Oh, and I won my first playoff game in fantasy football...on to round two, which looks tough. First game I took 120-103, but this week is going to be brutal looking at the opposing lineup.
More than that even, is I need my Cowpokes to beat the Gmen this week...we're still in the hunt!

Month 12 Arrives
I hope folks had a nice thanksgiving. Mine was ok, though I wasn't too pleased that all the other teams vying for the playoffs with my Cowboys managed to pull out their games yesterday. Everyone 'cept for the skins, anyway. We just need to beat Pitt this week.
December is here, which means Christmas is just around the corner. I have come to dislike this time of the season, as it means I will have to find a way to dole out gifts and cards to people. The only ones I really want to are my kids and close personal friends...the in-laws, family, and all others should just as soon forget who I am, cause I'm taking the hard line and not budging on sending stuff this yr...the kid doesn't have it.
The good thing is that this awful year is almost over. For that I can be grateful, even if 2009 doesn't prove to be much better. At least it holds hope, for 2008, it holds only broken pieces of ideas, dreams, and other things which I care not to comment on. To be fair, it does hold some good memories, but all in all, 2008 has sucked ass.
