it wasn't going to work either. In the meantime Larry asked me several times when I was going to go to Brazilian fest with him.I told him

4 o'clock and that satisfy his need to know. I noticed that I'm kind of hungry and tired so I'm a feeling like I want to sleep after I eat.

a sunny day bye don't really know what to make of it. Well I left Larry's walk the market Street and tried to find an inexpensive baseball cap.

Can't get over it.

That was an epic

FAIL!! Same sort of  team sports for hats for$20. So I decided I'd go to market East and maybe catch train out of town but then I got comfortable

here it's air-conditioned they have free Wi-Fi and I can respond to people's responses to my funky Facebook posts. I'm in a blog to delegate hungry and eat pizza with Pat.

I thought about Jumping Train but I Did Not!

Assuming I don't get caught up in my self-inflicted glory here at the train station. He has to walk a dog around 430 5 o'clock. The air feels so nice in here and I'm listening to REM's monster album which is really good

The Gallery

. I am comfortable for the first time in a few hours. The Gallery is limited without the K-Mar there. Its got the same kind of hip-hop clothing that would make me look like a fool. Heck,

At My Office Writing it Down

I can be a fool but I do NOT want to advertise it. Enough is enough already. I am not really looking forward to tomorrow since I am on vacation mode. On the bright side, I will surly not be all up in my head

On the Right Track?

since I will be so busy catching up with my backlog. That is the price of vacation along with the $$ I spent. I did get something of my bucket list so I do not regret making my choice. Another piece of good news is I have my Friday night speakers lined up for

the month of June for my 7pm meeting . That is so cool that I need to remind myself that not having a full-time woman is not the end of my world as I know it :). I just need to just take it ONE DAY AT A TIME and just leave

the rest. Shit, a woman with ovarian cancer has 3 to 6 months and she made a meeting with a good attitude for living. I just need to go and keep it moving. Well took the train from mobile market East 40th then I walked over to the varsity pizza on Locust near 43rd St. and I just felt better taking that walk

from 40th to the varsity pizza and now I got a green pepper pizza and I'm carrying it home to be EATEN!! Pizza such a simple happy food. And I like to think it's just like

my personality simple and happy. It's I let others complicate things and run with it. The pizza was very good as pizza should. Now that I am done the Pizza I got food coma. Got a nap in. Now its 6:12pm and

time to hit the Monday night beginners. It's Monday but SEPTA is definitely on the Sunday schedule  because I've walked from pats house on 42nd and Chestnut and 21 showed

Let Me IN

up at 38 Th. St.

So I'll be late but hopefully not outrageously late. Helmet 20th St. it's time to get some coffee for my last round of the evening.

I decided I need the second meeting someone to plunge myself into a meeting at never been

2 Meetings

to. I just tried to be nice and I fucked up with Siri. Believe me or for pushing me these concerns away from my head. Anyhow I did talk and well, I need to have patience and try to understand what I want and what is not really needed.
