Well, those Eagles of mine ALMOST shocked the world last night! Almost! They played a great game and kept the Patriots in check better than any team has this year. Hell I was ALL kinds of nervous before this one, and I just really didn't want to be embarrassed, say like a certain team from Washington did in getting blown out 52-7 (teehee). I am a little upset because the game was there for us to take, but a blown call or two, a stupid penalty on a punt, and AJ's interception at the end (what the hell kind of play call was that?!) sealed the deal for us. Me and Carl hung out and watched the game and wow was I into it, screaming and cursing, lol. We had to play a perfect game, and they almost did. I am proud of them, they played with a lot of fire, and that fuck-the-world attitude that mirrors the people of the city. Good job Eagles, good job. Now just don't shit the bed next week against the Seahawks and things will be OK. Oh! And thanks Eli Manning and also the offense of the Washington Redskins, because simply, you both suck! What enjoyment I got out of watching the Giants get their asses kicked on one TV, and the ForeSkins fumbling 4 times on the other. Great job, you frauds. One BIG middle finger to each of you.
I had a pretty good weekend although it kinda sucks to be back at work. I have already had a busy morning and did my physical labor for the day in taking 15 computers over to the library, grrrrrrrrrrr. I went shopping yesterday and bought myself a new digital camera and I must say, it is kickass. I'm glad I got it and I got a pretty good deal on it and also got the extended warranty for a lousy 19 bucks. I picked up some little Christmas stuff for Julia, and I also got her a little pink Christmas tree that I am going to decorate with lights for her, and I also got her those hanging beads you put on the top of a door opening to make it look cool, and I am going to install those in her closet tonight which I am sure she will mark out for.
It seems my parents had a pretty good weekend themselves with both Stevie and Matt home. I told my mom how worried I am about Matt getting deployed and she told me that I worry too much and there is nothing we can do about it. Yep, I do worry too much, but that's me. It sucks that I won't see him when I go up there, but that's life. That trip is in like 10 days and I leave for Tampa on Thursday. My two friends Roy and Ric got jobs in Kansas City and are leaving supersoon, like Ric leaves Wednesday so I won't even see him, and Roy leaves Sunday. So, me and Brad and Roy and whomever else are going to party like rock stars on Friday night, Saturday is the show, Sunday I leave and evidentially, so does Roy. I'll miss that fucker but I already told him that we'll be out there in the summer for some good times. I am glad to see them go, I mean for their own sake, as it's a fresh start for them. Florida is a transitional place, not a place to live and grow up, at least in my book anyway. Tons of people actually seem to agree with me, as I can only think of Brad and Adam as the two people still left who are actually worth a damn. Everyone else has moved on. Hmmmmmmm. Nevertheless, it should be a fun weekend and I leave here on Thursday afternoon and head down. Sweet. :)
I joined match.com after getting an email stating that they have some special offer where it's 4 bucks a month. I figured, shit, 4 bucks, not bad. So I wasted 12 bucks and joined, but am going to try a little experiment. Sticking to my resolve of being 'on strike', I refuse to initiate contact with anyone, let them come to me, and let's see what happens. So far, three winks and two emails in a day and a half ain't bad. :) We'll see what happens but my guard is up bigtime.
Oh -- speaking of girls -- now I know I really haven't mentioned it much but I do communicate with a girl in Australia who I met through the naughty site. We have spoken only through email, both clean stuff and naughty, dirty fantasies (yum), but I guess I really haven't even counted her as someone with potential as she lives so far away. Anyway, I got such a wonderful email from her last night, and I am actually going to share it with you as it really touched me. I cannot tell you how good it made me feel, how it...... well, reinforced my faith and belief in myself and my values, and just made me feel I'm on the right path. Anyway, here is what she said (I gutted it because the email was long so I am only highlighting the important parts), and this is taken directly from the email:
"Forget you? I don't think I ever can, even if I had to! Even if I die one day, I'll come and look for you in heaven!!! I know it's so ridiculous because we don't exactly live across the road from each other .... I just think of you sooooo much. I don't think I've ever felt so comfortable opening up to anyone about who I am .... You are waking the inner child in me up!! I'm finding the real me again, someone I've lost years ago. You are so real, Eddie. You the most real person in my life .... I can even see myself one day sitting in my rocking chair, listening to Queen, thinking, I wonder what Eddie is thinking about now... I feel really sad, happy and angry. Happy that I meet you, you make my life rich!! Sad because we can't just be in silence together looking in each others eyes for hours connecting, and angry because it's so unfair...."
How fucking sweet is that? And what a pretty girl she is too, just adorable, tall, long curly brown hair and a beautiful smile. Reading that email was just a huge ego boost, and made me feel so good. What a sweetheart she is and I actually find it difficult to believe I can touch someone like that. That's bigtime shit. It gives me faith that one day I'll be able to touch another like that, and that she won't live halfway around the world either. See? I don't have to put up with any shit from anyone because me and my values and my naughtiness and the complete package of ME is quite appealing to some, some beautiful someones as that. Thanks Lisa, thanks so much, you've helped me more than you'll ever know. :)
I think that's about it. I see the Mouse today when I pick her up from ballet and I cannot wait. We'll hang out tomorrow but then I won't see her for a few days as I go to Tampa. But then I come back and we are off to head back home! Can't wait!
Remember: If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one.
