Today is Beach / Beer day. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

In Need Of Preventive Maintenance

I am fucking tired. I am worn-the-fuck out and need a break. Since April the first until today, work has kept me from home for twenty-one days. The few days that I have had off have been filled with errands and miscellaneous "honey-do" projects. I will be home tomorrow morning. I am scheduled to return to the office on Tuesday. The truth is; and I can tell you right now, that is not happening. If I "hypothetically" were to get sick Monday night and miss work on Tuesday and Wednesday, I wouldn't have to return to the office until the following Monday. Complicated, I know. If you don't ask, I won't have to explain. In addition, Mrs. Titus is considering a trip to Alaska that would have her leaving on the 5th. So, Simply put, I am looking down the barrel of a nine day vacation. Jake can to do "whatever"!!! Should I pull the trigger? Here is a partial, running list of activities I hope to enjoy.

1. Sleeping in at least one day.
2. Passing out at least on night.
3. Playing a round of golf.
4. Seeing a baseball game. Either the A's or Giants. . .it doesn't matter.
5. Visiting Skid Jones in Sac.
6. Smoking "several" cigars.
7. Fixing the Roadking.
8. A possible Sopranos marathon.
9. A beach day.
10. Spontaneous poker night with guys from the "old branch".
11. Getting Mrs. Titus's truck detailed.
12. Get my property taxes lowered.
13. Getting all the crap in my "ebay sell pile" photographed and put online. (hey, that could make a great blog post.)
14. Did I say "sleeping in"?
15. Surprising Mrs. T by finishing all the painting in the upstairs part of the "Titus Pad".
16. Mass TIVO catch up session.
17. Reno road trip? Hhhhhmmmmmm. . . maybe if the Roadking comes back to life.
18. Get my left sleeve started in Oakland.
19. Oh yeah, Blog my ass off!!!!

Well, that's a start. Anyone have any suggestions? I would love the input.

See ya this weekend. Oh wait, you all have lives. O.K. see ya on Monday

Slow Down!!!

So I have gone back and read my first several posts, and realized that I sound like a whiny little bitch. I was tempted to remove/edit some of my posts to tone them down a bit. The more that I thought about it though, I just said "what the fuck." First of all, no one is really reading this anyway.

So, if you do find yourself immersed in my shit, let me set some of the record straight. I'm actually a pretty upbeat happy guy. I enjoy life more than most people. I don't take much for granted and appreciate a lot. In spite of some things in my past, I have been fairly resilient.

The crap you have read previously; or not, is just some baggage I'm obsessing on right now. Maybe it's the "turning forty" thing? Hell, I don't know. There is something inside me that "needs." Now I'm not talking needy/insecure shit. I just think it's time I learn something else about myself, my past, and my future.

So, rather than post like I have been, I'm going to cut myself a break and be positive for at least the next couple of weeks.
