Thursday

Well the mix up was finally fixed and I'm and assistant organizer for singles at Meetup. So I'm trying to get one thing going a week in an attempt to see what people like. I've got roller/inline skating, one of my salsa classes, and a game night. We'll see how it goes. Once I know what people like I'll better be able to plan.

Generating money with the office now I just need to collect it. At the moment I have several people that have been severely hurt, but not the full money to pay for treatment. Since I trust them all I've told them they can pay me off over time so that they can get better. I'm happy to help, but when I have a bunch at one time it hurts a little. Over time it will work out, but in the here and now it's a little light money wise.

Who Knew?

I always hear of the strange way people get to people's blogs. It's always funny. Now the point I'm making here is that I track my business's website and where people come from. Now I was completely floored when I found out that many of my viewers are coming from .... Free Live Porn. Now WTF? I can't even imagine how that is connected. I checked there site for purely technical reasons and I didn't see my listing so I don't know how that's working.

The next thing is that I was voted Best Chiropractor in the city for 2006. I must have missed the awards ceremony, but there's a page out there with my name on it. Who knew?

Sounds of Salsa

Boy it's been 3 weeks since I've been out dancing. I kept saying I was going to practice and boy that never materialized. It came back to me, but I could have been sharper. On the way to class I was like I can take or leave this. It's kind of dried up for me. LOL. Couple of hours later I'm so back into it. Class was good, but the club was better. Mostly because we had more women then men tonight. Yes all the planets have aligned. For most of them it was their first night which wasn't great, but it was a lot of new faces which was fun. Since it was only me and one other guy we were on the dance floor constantly. I have to admit it is interesting how dancing brings people together. I might have to go back to the old Tropicana one Thursday to dance and meet someone. That atmosphere is more for that and the places I frequent it's more about dancing.

Quiet guy has given notice and he will move out of the house at the end of the month. I know my landlord is interviewing now for both rooms. I was happy when he wanted my to stay were I was. I like my room and didn't want to change. However I got so use to never having Port girl around it was like living by myself on my side. Since I work banker hours I'm hoping I don't get an early riser on my side.

Getting a little bummed since Spa girl has not returned my phone call on getting a haircut. I have to admit I got really spoiled with her. She does a great haircut and all the cleanup were awesome. If I don't hear from her by Thursday I'll go back to my old barber.

TMI Tuesday

1) Do you have/ever had any dating or sex superstitions? (Wear 'lucky jeans' on first date, always light a vanilla candle, etc.) If so, what are they? Nope

2) If you were stranded on the old deserted island, and a genie appeared who could only grant you one wish -- to bring one of the following people to join you, who would it be?- your spouse/significant other- an unrequited love or some person you've had a crush on- an old/past love- your best friend - I guess I'll shoot for the best friend. If I was married I'd probably shoot for that. A SO and a unrequited love might not work out after a while. Past love didn't work out and I wouldn't want to be stranded with them.

3) Tell us "weather or not" you're in the mood -- how does rain, snow, sleet, scorching heat, sweltering humidity etc. affect your libido. Rain, snow, and sleet don't do anything for me. Scorching heat or sweltering humidity? I don't feel like doing anything in that type of weather.

4) Are you a crying drunk, an angry drunk, a 'I'm drunk, let's screw' sort of a drinker? (And, if you do not drink -- which one of those things is the reason?) I don't drink and none of these are the reason.

5) Who turns you on the most & why: the activist, the author, the care-giver/healer (nurse, doctor, masseuse, herbalist, chiropractor etc.)the comedian, the educator (professor, teacher, mentor etc.) the model, the musician,the politician,the scientist - What a person does for a living does nothing for my libido. They could be a basket weaver for all I care if theirs chemistry

The Daily Grumble

Personal life is going well and I have no complaints. Just trying to enjoy these times since I know they are not permanent.

Work still gives me anxiety. I wish the schedule was just full and a others just call to come in. However it seems at not at the point yet. The schedule starts out light and then slowly fills up day by day. Maybe I'll make it to weekly goals, maybe not. These workouts of faith are not my favorites, but I know their necessary for my growth.

Slight snag on my organizing singles events. It's times like these that having the first name Mike is problematic. They put the wrong Mike on the board so I still can't schedule the events. I thought their was only 3 of us, but their were only 3 Mikes. I didn't know their was another 3 Michaels.

I Do

Well I agreed to organize all the singles events for the City of Virginia Beach. One of the groups of I belong to is Meetup. The singles group is good and fun, but all their activities are on the Peninsula which really doesn't help me since I don't feel like driving 45 minutes. So they were looking for someone to help build it up down here since we have the members for it. Hey if you build it they will come.

Squeezing

Sitting around in Starbucks yesterday. I know me in Starbucks, incredible isn't it? Anyway I was hit by the want to squeeze more pleasure out of life. After spending most of my life numbing up to it, to fully experience it is still new. Maybe it's because I've been trying to write again this week. With writing you really need to describe life around you and its hard for me to push past the surface which I found weird since I'm pretty aware and intuitive. However reading one of my daily readers this morning it talked about having your perceptions and feelings abused by those around you. Jeez theirs my life story. Why should I enjoy the world around me when I've had it pounded into me that my perceptions and feelings were a lie. What I felt was not what I really felt. The world I perceived around me was not what I thought it was. Like a monkey that is zapped for touching the red button it is no longer a natural thing for me as most things are. It's all work. Not saying that it's unpleasurable, but it doesn't come naturally.

Dear Universe

I realized I never asked so I wish for someone to love and cherish.

Post Pizza Stories & Other Stuff

I tell you it was nice to stop and get gas last night. Hated shovelling out the money, but one fill up a week is great. I got so use to doing so 3 times a week when I did pizza. Also not having to drive around looking for addresses in the dark is a nice blessing. I don't miss it, but I'm still getting use to having my nights free.

3 of my good standing patients are finishing up active care this week. I hate it when that happens, however I know everyone is suppose to do their share. No more, no less. It's just hard having the faith that I'll be covered, but the week is filling up nicely. So it will be one week at a time. I have learned (hopefully to be follow through) not to try and pay stuff off yet. I need a cushion of savings which I don't have. Without it as soon as a bump comes along I'm freaking out and I don't need that. Once I have a comfortable cushion then I can pay stuff off.

I had a weird incident in Starbucks this morning. I had a mild anxiety attack. Boy was my heart pounding and yes that was before I had my drink. It did confirm something I had suspected. I do use food to calm me. I use to do it as a child even though I was starving myself on the other hand. However I always thought the food was just calming my starving body. I started to realized this when I was dealing with all my Mom's stuff. The anxiety would come and I would reach for something to eat, but then realize I had just eaten and shouldn't be that hungry. Since then I've kept a watch on it. So this morning I just sat to relax and work it through, but the want to eat something was strong I was surprised. Something else to work on since I don't want to switch seats on the Titanic.

TMI Tuesday

1. Last week was "The Most Wonderful time of the Year", but what are your favorite 2007 memories? Teaching Eric how to ride a bike, enjoying sex again, meeting a lot of great people
2. What is the best thing you learned in 2007? Wow I hate these questions. I would go with the realization like me my business needs certain things done to it everyday to stay healthy.

Bonus (as in optional):Do you make New Year's resolutions? What is/are yours for 2008? I covered this in my last entry. No I don't.
