From the tower high I watch the earth and watch the sky the workers as they stumble by and yet I cry out for I am one with them

Sunday, April 27, 2008It sucks feeling down. The worst part is when you start getting sick of yourself and all the whining… just like this. This is the sound of me hating myself.
Fortunately, having friends around the world helps me keep my sanity. Sometimes it bums me out that most of my friends are in Nebraska out-of-reach except by wires or wireless. But I’m thankful they’re around at all. In the last week I’ve managed to talk to a number of people (Tyler, Cora, Jenny [& Phil sorta]).
Conversing with Tyler had me laughing harder than anything other than The IT Crowd, The Big Bang Theory, or Savage Chickens (read this one). Then some drunk a**hole passed out in front of Tyler’s house while driving and his head kept blaring the horn so Tyler had to go call the police. It still kept me laughing, but it ended the conversation.
I talked with Cora for 80 minutes. This is the longest phone call I’ve had in a while. Though I managed a solid 50 minutes with Luebbe the last time we talked.
I talked with Jenny briefly during lunch today. She and Phil are both feeling a bit better, but will continue to rest as they battle their separate woes. Also, she wants you all (who know them) to visit The Bolls website and leave comments so she’ll know you’re reading it.
I IMed Erika the other day. We talked about cooking, pondered the time-dilation effects of living multiple time zones away, and conversed quite pleasantly.
I talked to both of my bros today. Jesse turned 24, and Isaac bought an iPod Classic (80GB!).
So now I’ve told you what’s going on with a lot of people. Little things like these conversations help keep me going.
I took a phone call today. No surprise there. However, this particular call lasted two hours and fifteen minutes, involved calls to three other departments, I talked to two individuals from the original calling location, and had to take one break to breathe while my brain attempted to catch up with the situation.
Even with the call over, I have follow-up to do in a week.
Needless to say, I never want to spend more than two hours on the phone with anyone unless I’m talking to a woman I consider stunningly beautiful and worthy of my time.
Sure, I spent most of the call talking to a girl who sounded my age (you’d be surprised how much you can stereotype people by the sound of their voice), but what good does that do me?
… and I’m not in any way referring to Seattle.
I’m low on cell-phone minutes and won’t really be able to talk on it for the next week. If you need to talk, just text me and I’ll send you another number you can call me at. Thanks!
