I’m finally getting my shit together. I have more totes to start packing again and I made the arrangements for a U-Box. This weekend Dave and I are going to clear most of my storage space at least, I’ll have the container full and shipped by Wednesday, and we’ll see if I can things wrapped up here by that weekend. I have my apartment locked down, I’m sending out my résumé and applying to jobs just about every other day right now. I even ordered a sofa, my first sofa I’ve bought as opposed to inheriting from other people buying new furniture, and in that order I purchased a mattress and am deciding among a few different interesting bed frames. The first new bed I’ve ever owned. Seriously, here I am forty-something and this will be the first new bed I’ve had to look forward to since I was six years old. And of course, that was a bunk bed! I’ve never been one about status or wealth but yeah, a middle-aged man should have more in his life by this point. I don’t have a family, not because I don’t want a family simply because I could never afford to have one. Because as a teenage child in utah, I had more sense than to “get married” and have five kids before home room. I put that in quotation marks because those people are only playing house. This whole god damn state has fifteen children per adult and not one parent among them. Certainly not in its “government”. I didn’t mean to go this way right now but I just realized that I hadn’t posted yet today and I’m on my way to the shower. That is to say that I’m on the toilet and pushing this Middle-aged-man-what’s-dying-alone-diet shit through this middle-aged man anus, my thoughts often and quickly turn to utahns. My point is, I’m finally doing things as a middle-aged man that most people take for granted in their twenties because mommy and daddy carried them into their thirties. Moving on.
The other day I was watching some of The Drew Carey Show and I was reminded that Kelly Perine is a very skilled performer. He played Chuck the Security Guard on that show and he was always hilarious! He did some pretty wacky things as that character but he was more often than not the ‘straight man’ in those scenes and did so across from some fairly absurd visual gags and some crazy lines. I haven’t watched too much of his other stuff other than the commercials he did throughout the nineties and early oughts, but someone who can get the laughs he did performing on The Drew Carey Show, he definitely deserves some acknowledgement for his skill and talent.
Ok, I need to get going on things today but I hit my goal here and it looks like my keyboard is running down and needs to be charged so, I’m calling it here.
