How did I get here?1  How did I find myself looking at 7:30am on a Saturday morning as a wonderful thing?2  I’m not entirely sure. Currently my life is filled with a dizzying array of seventy hour work weeks bookended by two days that I try to re-introduce myself to my wife whom I leave to fend off the onset of mental disorders associated with the hobby of conversing with our cats.

Like many males in my demographic3 my hobbies include mass consumptions of malted yeast infused beverages4 and the playing of video games.  I am, by nature, not an outdoors type of person seeing as I need a constant stream of decongestants planted in my blood in order counteract the pollen count.  My sloth like life style has left many to wonder about my mental stability at times.5  Truthfully, I am a workaholic.  I cannot find the inner strength to turn and walk away from my work when I know that there is little reason to push my body to the point of both physical and mental exhaustion.  But I do it anyway.6

While I write this very post78my wife is fending off the zombie hoards from her vegetable garden.  I have already picked up on at least one hint that she would like to leave the house at some point today and even lured me with the possibility of beer tasting down town9  And so with that, I think that I will send this post off to the ether10 and leave the work that must be done before Monday till tomorrow.11

  2. Could it be because it is a full two and a half hours later than I normally wake? ↩
  3. I’ve always hated stereotyping. ↩
  4. Beer for the uninitiated. ↩
  5. Although the life style may in fact have little to do with that stability or lack there of. ↩
  6. Call it a character flaw. ↩
  7. A procrastination utility used to not do work I need have done before Monday. ↩
  8. Procrastination is the spontaneous reorganization of my priorities ↩
  9. Just anything to get out of the house in reality. ↩

  11. Although there won’t be a redhead prancing around with a dog. ↩
