Clownin' Aroun'

- So I suck at maintaining my tumblr. Not because I’m slacking... or at least not only because I’m slacking. I am super busy these days. Life is so different for me now that I have a new schedule - I’m still adjusting to all the changes.

- The new gig is going ok. The commute is killing me. But I’ll get to work from home a couple of days a week starting next month, so that’ll be really nice.

- My boys didn’t make it into the NCAA basketball tourney this year. *sniff* Not that I think I’ll be able to watch many games, but still. *sniff*  Bear down, Arizona! Bear down, red and blue! *sob*

- Someone tried to break into my house last week while I was at work. They threw a brick through my back sliding door, completely destroying it. I’m not sure why but they didn’t actually come into the house. I think maybe the door held for a while and then fell apart over the hours, and the fine people didn’t want to risk making too much noise to get in. Then again, it may just have been kids being dicks. In the end, it sucked but it could have been so much worse.

- The worst part of it was that the brick they threw was my own brick.I have a small pile on the side of my house and they just grabbed one. They didn’t even bother to bring their own brick. Like, if they had used their own brick, I”d figure that I’d be down one door but up one brick, so that’d be something. But nope. I’m not even up a brick.

- I haven’t taken the brick back outside. I figure it’s an inside brick now. A house brick. It’s a house... brick... it’s mighty mighty... just knockin’ my glass door out.

- Ok, that last one was sloppy. You didn’t deserve that.

- Not much else is happening... been busy but not at anything exciting. You can check out my IG (@bigolclown) if you are interested to see my arty stuff.

- Oh! I did get some Girl Scout cookies not too long ago, so that was a good day.

Well, let me tell ya...

I have this habit when sometimes I wash my hands too much, then they end up getting dry. But I keep doing it, see, and they get worse and worse. And usually my ex will give me lotion that I’ll use and that makes them better. And she knows about skin and stuff so it is always some weird brand with crazy life-giving ingredients. But she hasn’t come over in a while and so I’m out of lotion and my hands are all cracked and my knuckles are bleeding but I won’t say anything because I’m not a baby. So I go to the store, right, to go get my own lotion. But the lotion aisle has like a thousand different types. And I can’t remember what I’ve used before, and the aisle is full of women and they are looking at me like I’m some sort of stalker. And what am I gonna say? Hey, can you give a brotha a hand cos he washed his hands too much? Nope. Not gonna do it. They’d probably hit me with their huge purses and I’d get arrested for harassing women. I ain’t going down like that. So I try to determine which lotion best fits my needs. And they all say they’ll help, but deep down I know most of them are lying bastards out for my money. But then I see her. Jennifer Aniston is telling me to buy Aveeno. Cos it moisturizes and stuff. And Jenn wouldn’t lie to me, right? It’s like that old song says, “trust Jennifer Aniston because she wouldn’t lie to you about buying lotion”. So I put my trust in Jennifer Aniston, because she’s my Friend.

Now take that and apply it to my life as a whole, and that’s just about how it is going.

Ok, here’s a funny story.

I’m not quite ready to start posting again on a regular basis tho. I’ve been working from home for almost 15 years, and my new gig requires me to go to an office. That’s gonna be a huge change to my day-to-day. So I’ve got tons of small things that I have to do this week. But once I’m set, expect to see me around again.
