Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope everyone reading this had a great day. I’m not a big drinker so I won’t be going out tonight enjoying any green beer. I am sure there will be many other drunk gay men out partying tonight. They can drink a few for me. Not that I don’t drink, I just don’t drink that often. I did, however, wear green today. I picked out a nice subtle green button down shirt. If I was smart I would have used my camera with it’s self timer to take a picture, but I didn’t. I hate pictures of myself so you’ll just have to imagine me in a nice green shirt. I thought I looked pretty nice.

I had a busy but good day. I got many things done and feel very successful. I’m taking off tomorrow so I prepared at work today to be off tomorrow. I got everything done I needed to get done so that I won’t have to worry about not being at work tomorrow. I also feel good about my exercise plan. When I got home from work today, I changed into my walking clothes and went downstairs to the exercise room and walked an additional 2 miles on the treadmill. According to my pedometer I have walked 7.87 miles today. That is very good for me. I usually average between 5 to 6 miles a day. I’d like to walk an additional 2 miles every day. I have to stick to it if I want to loose 10 pounds before my 40th birthday in May (I know I keep saying that, so ignore it if you are tired of reading it). Of course I plugged my new iPod Mini into my ears and listened to some soothing music while walking. It’s such motivation. I think my choice of music wouldn’t impress anyone. It actually might repell some so I won’t tell you want I was listening to. Just know it did the trick for me and I was able to get through 2 miles with no problem at all. I barely broke a sweat. All this exercise is good for me. I went on the Deathclock.com website today and found out, after putting in a few statistics, that I’ll die on Monday, April 10, 2045. That means I’ll be 81. I’m not sure I want to live that long, but it’s nice to know I might. I think 75 is a good age to die. It’s long enough to enjoy retirement but not too old to start falling apart completely. We’ll see if the deathclock is right or not. Thanks to roblog for the link to the deathclock.

While walking on the treadmill I was able to read two more chapters in the book I’m reading. The story is basically about two guys who are ex-lovers who were together for 6 months but haven’t seen each other in more then a year. They are thrown together and spend a day together and talk about everything under the sun, it seems. One section of one of the chapters talked about how they were together for 6 months and the one guy broke up with the other guy on the phone and what a shit he was for doing it that way. That little part reminded me of my last relationship. He and I were together for only 6 months and he broke it off on the phone. I wouldn’t categorize him as a shit but tacky none the less.

While I’m off tomorrow I’m planning on meeting Sweet Brad for lunch. What a treat! First of all, I never take off work. I have 10 months of leave saved up. So it’s rare that I’m not at work. I’m sure I’ll get up at my regular time and do my regular things but it will be nice not to think that I have to rush off to work. Second of all I never get to go out to lunch. It will be such fun to meet Sweet Brad for lunch. He goes out to lunch all the time and it won’t be a big deal for him but for me it will be. And third, I’ll get to see Sweet Brad. I haven’t seen him since the weekend. It seems like forever! I’m sure we’ll chat the entire time we are together catching up on the week and what’s going on with us. I’m excited! I can’t wait! (I’m a dweeb, I know)
