Damn, I just found out I am flying into New Jersey instead of New York. Which means I won't be staying in a nice hotel in the city. Oh well, I'm sure there will be something for me to do. I have to admit, I was looking forward to being in New York.
Well, today is going ok so far. I am pretty much done with most of my work. Then I get to go home and relax and wait for Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately I have to work on Friday. But the good thing is there won't be anybody in the office. Just a few of us that already used our floating holiday for other purposes. In case you don't know, a floating holiday is a day off that we get paid for too use in instances like this. You know, you get thursday off, but have to work friday because it isn't a holiday. Well, if you want friday off, and don't want to use your vacation or personal time, you use a floating holiday. It's like an extra day off that you get paid for. We only get two a year, and I used them over the summer. One for Cancun and the other for New York. Basically because the 4th of July was on a Thursday and I wanted friday off, and then I went to Cancun on Memorial day weekend and wanted the extra day off.
Oh well, enough about that. I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving, and if drinking is your thing, be extra careful tonight. The police will be on full alert. Besides, you shouldn't drink and drive anyway.
Happy Holidays!

Woo Hoo, I get to go to New York next week for a client meeting. I actually hate client meetings becasue they're long and boring. But at least this client is in New Jersey. And because we are flying into Laguardia, I get to stay in New York. I leave Tuesday afternoon and will be returning back to Chicago Thursday night. The cool thing about this is I get the evenings to myself. I think I will check out the sites while I'm there. I was just there on vacation in July, but this will be my first time in the winter. If you can call this winter. Actually, it's been snowing here all day. That's pretty cool. I love snow. Mainly for the outdoor activities. Because with the snow comes snowboarding and snowmobiling. Plus, it's just a beautiful thing to watch. The only downfall about snow is having to drive in it.
Anyway, it's 3 pm right now and I have to finish up my work for the day so I can leave this hell hole by 5:00. For those of you who aren't in the work force yet, enjoy it while it lasts. What I would give to be back in school again. Later

Wow, I actually was able to figure out how to put a link and my e-mail address onto this site. I have no idea how I did it, but I did. I also don't know how to change the color of the letters. For some reason it appears in red. Oh well, at least I got this far. So now I guess if anyone wants to e-mail me they can, not that they will.

Wow, do I hate my job. A little word for the wise, don't get into advertising. I just spent the past hour writing a short synopsis on the importance of an Oster blender. Apparently the client wants to make this average, everyday blender seem to have an aspirational and inspiring effect on their potential consumers. But you know what folks, it's just a fuckin blender. Let's take a look at what my so-called creative mind came up with.

Oaster Blenders
Like an unpainted canvas waiting to be touched by the painter’s brush, she blends together the perfect ingredients to create her every desire. From the beautiful scenes of a tropical paradise to the image of a latin escape. These are the inspirations of her next culinary masterpiece. As she chooses her ingredients delicately, she lets her imagination take complete control. In the end, she creates the perfect blend of taste and imagination.

Blah, Blah, Blah.
The funny thing is, I actually thought being a copywriter would be the coolest job, next to screenwriting of course. But in the end, a job is a job, is a job, is a job. No matter what you do, you'll get sick of it. Oh well, back to the monotony of my incoherent lifestyle.

Ok, I figured the best way to start off this blog is by telling the story of how I became a Blogger.
It started back in February 2002 when I found myself in a very dull and lonely state of mind. A lot of shit was going on in my life and I was pretty sick of everything. The band I was in at the time didn't seem to be the answer to the great question I had been searching for. I had just gotten into a very traumatic car accident. And I just felt very alone. Call it fate, or maybe devine intervention, but I happened to stumble upon a website titled "Alley Oop." Not exactly the answer to life, but it definatley entertained me. I continued to read Beth's journal for several months, doing my best to keep up with her interesting lifestyle. I started from the very beginning and continued to read all the way up to the now.
I'm not sure why I felt it was necessary for me to do so, but I was extremely interested. It's almost like reading someone's diary. It's like you get a glimpse of a life that you never knew. Of someone you will probably never know. Like I said, it wasn't an answer, but just a temporary solution in my time of life. As fucked up as it sounds, it did help.
I continue to read her blogs whenever I get a chance. I even check out other blogs of people on her list. Not as often as I'd like, but I still do. Now, it's time for me to start my own blog. Why now, I'm not sure. I guess I just want to say stuff that I can't say to the people I am friends with. And if any of them do stumble upon this "incoherent lifestyle" of mine. Well, I hope they find it as interesting as I found Beth's life to be. Thanks Beth. Even though you have no idea who I am or how you helped me. later

Well, I guess I can say today is the first day of the rest of my life. So to all the other bloggers and/or random internet surfers who read this entry, I say, "Hello, and welcome to my incoherent lifestyle!"
