This Was Written In The Nude

Took this during the writing of this post to point out my sincere nakedness. Notice how my dog is sleeping against my awful chest hair.

I just checked and ThoughtsFromParis now has 174,800 words published. To celebrate the achievement I decided to try something different. A blog post written in the nude.

Now while this sounds like  shtick  masquerading  as filler since I don’t have any ideas of what to write tonight, I will tell you that is correct. Plus, I just got out of the bath and was nude already. The only thing I’m wearing is the laptop on my thighs and a wet dog around my shins. She had her bath at the same time. With me. Totally sexed out, ladies? READ MORE

The Best Way To Destroy Someone Emotionally

This broad looks like she would yell at me too. I have a laugh all chambered-up just for her.

I was riding to work today as I always do at 8am.

Today was unusual in that I decided for a change in my normal music routine. Usually I’ll blast some Metallica or something exciting, loud, and fast. It gets me going and most of the time I’m fighting a nasty head-wind. READ MORE

Criticism – Let’s Get Fixed

Let's Get Fixed

Last Sunday a bunch of us committed to changing something in our lives that needed to shift.

Time to check in AND set a new goal.

So…

Okay, I can’t not laugh with that logo. I’d like someone to make it prettier, but… No, it’s perfect the way it is. It needs to be fixed – so it can never be. I just went meta, mofo! READ MORE

I Think Everyone Was Depressed Today

asdfasdfadf

Yes, I’m talking about you.

We all had a sad day today.  At least the few people I talked to.  And since four people is a relational sample to the rest of the earth’s population, this is apt.  We were sad.

Let us collectively stick out our lower lip and make a solid frowny-face.  That is actually fun so don’t do it too much as it takes the darkness out of depression.  Stay in the shadows for a little big longer, please.  I need you at your worst so I don’t feel alone. READ MORE

Who Wants My Ex-Wife’s Lab Coats?

I just looked it up - this is how turtles bang! No foolin'!

My girlfriend Jessica left today after a few weeks here in Chicago.  This is a woman who I met through my blog (sort of), came to my parent’s house for Thanksgiving dinner on our first date, and now voluntarily chooses to share a bed with me.

While at BlogHer she stayed here in Chicago and watched the animals.  She also took a day and completely re-designed my closet  during which she found a bunch of my ex-wife’s stuff. READ MORE

Pets Die

My girlfriend’s cat is dying.

The vet has given her three months.  They found a bunch of tumors in Muchie’s abdomen and think that this is a terminal situation.  She also has had diabetes for years.  When Jessica visited me for three weeks this summer she drove up from Atlanta with both her cat and dog.  She couldn’t leave the cat by herself because sometimes she doesn’t drink enough water and needs fluids.  Plus, you have to test her blood sugar and all of that.

Some Skag Threw A Penny At Me!

I don't look this cool on my bicycle, nor with my shirt off.

Every other Monday after work I got to a men’s group where we talk about our lives, feelings, dealing with stuff, etc.  Sounds girly?  Nah.  We do hug each other hello, though.  Then we push the other guy away and yell a homophobic slur. READ MORE

Stairs Never Get Easier

I know your pain, sister.

When I got my place nearly seven years ago, I opted for the top floor in our building.  The floor plans are essentially the same in each unit, but the fourth floor (the top) has the highest ceilings.  I think they’re 13′ feet or something.  Whatever – I thought it was cool. READ MORE
