Like i've said in a previous entry - I am really starting to despise
Sundays. i think there's something with the lord looking down on me and
making me feel guilty for not going to church for all these months or
something. HOWEVER, i really, really did try to make something out of my
day yesterday. i was up early, so i got mcdonalds breakfast which was
super cool. gotta love the mickey d's breakfast. then i got home and
started to do some documentary work. so...i was pretty productive in the
morning....TILL i got to around 10 or 11'ish. i decided to take a shower.
after my shower i watched t.v. for a lil'bit and then got sleepy. then
when i woke up from a 2 minute sleeping fight, i got up and washed myself
awake. i like naps when i can afford it. in other words, if i know i'm
going out late or if i know i can mess up my sleeping schedule, then i'll
nap....otherwise, i try to stay awake most of the day so that i can totally
crash when i hit the bed. BUT, this hasn't happened for about a year.
tangently -- i'm a pretty restless person. i'm too much of a thinker when
i'm in bed by myself. i think its from years of writing in bed. i've done
that since high school. i still do it now. and i've even taken it further
by doing work in bed -- putting the laptop on a pillow and getting to work
by having the pleasure of taking a 3 minute nap in between important
emails. (next time i do that...i should just write at the end of my email
-- "and now i nap till my next email! sincerely, Abe Fromen")
Even when i was doing work yesterday, i decided to vary it up by doing it
outside of my bedroom and in the dining room, by our big window. this
helped cause i think i feed off of the whiteness from the snow. i like it
when it looks nice outside....don't like it if it doesn't FEEL nice
outside. SO...i retired into my room around 2 or 3 to watch a dvd of stand
up comedy. didn't help cause the dvd wasn't that great...i won't mention
names as it's someone you probably don't know. it's just research for me.
it was starting to make my day dreary and then depression started to sink
in. i became restless as i was watching this. i was antsy and wanted to
get out of the house.
you ever watch different strokes? there was this episode where willis was
overly confident about going to college from high school. in high school
he was king of the hill. everyone knew willis jackson. he defined popular
and popular had to find a new definition for willis jackson (....OOOOooooh,
that's good werding! writer's mental note!) SOOOO..he goes to college and
all he gets are practical jokes on him. he gets the butt of jokes when he
thought he was special cause he was drafted by the coach, himself, to play
baseball at their school. he just learned the hard way that friends aren't
as magnetic and easy to come across, especially when you have to start all
over again. it was difficult.
my last few years in college...everyone knew Jonald. everyone in my
fraternity loved me and introduced me to everyone they knew cause i was
easy to get along with. easy to talk to. so friends of friends made lots
of friends for me. i moved to chicago only knowing my cousins. network
not as big. and friends of friends not as great. i went to second
city...but people are all busy with projects and even my class was small
too. we're all just writers really. therefore, not many to pick and
choose from like in college. STILL...i proceed with being the best that i
can be....to which all of you should too! just gotta keep the head up.
SO, there's always somewhat of a relief on monday. even though its the
beginning of a work week, it's also the relief of moving past another
sunday. at least i watched Rent again last night with one of my friends
and his girlfriend after complaining of how bored i was and him bitching at
me being a little p*ssy. gotta love your blunt friends! Rent made me feel
good too. go watch it...like i've said before. it made me feel
better...maybe it'll do the same for you!
