Instant Sean

A simple life…

I write, I work, I come home, see my girlfriend, and write, then I sleep.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Lots of stuff that I would love to tell you,

but I can’t.

Just not enough time.

Super Bowl Recap…

Today was a great day, because Joanna and I got up on time and met Kristi at church. I sat  through the message and let it sit in me and at the end of his speech he mentioned the Super Bowl.  I was saddened that the Pittsburgh Squealers made it and later this evening I was saddened further when the NFL gave them the Super Bowl.

We went home, changed clothes and then went off to the store to get last minute supplies for the Super Bowl party that I go to every year. We made calls to many of our friends and I was disappointed when Woodyard had “better things to do ” than talk to us. He sucks and he can start a bus.

I did talk to OOOSSSUU and Riggstad, I was hoping that I could get a reverse jinx by having Waffles (Marshall) call for Pittsburgh to win but it wasn’t to be. That should have been an omen.

I’m in charge of the 50 or so prop bets that keep me busy throughout the game. Otherwise, when its two teams I don’t like, I tend to get bored easily.

I was excited that Arizona made the miraculous comeback but angry at the conservative playcalling at the end defensively.  If you have a lead , the prevent is the easiest way to lose. And lose they did.

At the end of the night Joanna and I went home and found out that Kristi had a Level 2 ankle sprain from tripping on a acorn at Tech and we almost rushed her to  the emergency room if her ankle had swollen up at any time.

We almost crashed at 10 o’clock but I had some things I needed to do for the office.  I am glad that we are so close to CMN but yet I feel that we are so far away from getting what I need done accomplished.

The wounds are almost all healed and I am at 95% of operation.

The countdown to Ireland has begun, I have my passport and I can’t wait.

The Information that I thought I did but you all asked to know…

I’m not putting the rules up here because I’m not going to torture anyone else.

1. I’ve started writing 4 books, two of which are over 100K words. The other two are under 20K and are “Marinating”

2. I have a high pain threshold but low tolerance to drugs. Yup, half a pill and I’m loopy.

3. I won’t go to the hospital unless I am forced. Case in point Kerri and a friend dragging me when I had an 105 degree fever and when Joanna kept me from bleeding to death.

4. Last two times I was at the hospital, I had to have 18 tumors removed, 54 staples and the time before that I had an inch long 1/4″ gash that had to have stitches.

5. I love procrastinating and yet love deadlines. Ironic huh?

6. I have my dream job in Radio, but at one time I was a licensed UNARMED private investigator.

7. Last 6 CD’s I’ve listened to Bee Gees – #1′s, Sultans of Swing; The Very best of Dire Straits, Russ Hewitt – Bajo El Sol, Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin, Steven Wright- I have a pony and Red Dirt Blues – Jeff Strahan

8. I love ducks. First dream I ever had involved a duck on my head, a couple years later I was the Ugly Duckling in a school play (at this time I didn’t like ducks at all), I won both my first live and online poker tournament with pocket 2′s (Ducks) and my kids are my little ducks.

9. I had feathered hair in high school, now I have a one blade to hide the grey.

10. The sound I will never get out of my head will be the sound of my one month old daughter Shelby screaming in the hospital as she was given a spinal tap.

11. I love IcolonialI Facial and shaving balm, but noone in Lubbock carries it.

12. The last thing I do before I go to sleep every night is say a prayer for my kids Shelby and Ryan that they learn, love and live every day and that I might be on this earth one more day to guide them.

13. I have a ’67 Ford Mustang sitting in my garage. It is in pieces and one day I will get the time and money to finish renovating it.

14. I’ve introduced on stage Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Bryan White, Foghat, and too many more to remember. But the artist that made me smile was Mila Mason. Maybe another Ovary Act Mila.

15. While my family played soccer, I coached soccer and was a referee and linesman.

16. I’ve lost my sister, Tara and brother, Patrick and there isn’t a day I don’t think about them.

17. I’ve lived in New York, Cleveland, Ohio and Texas… but I’ve never visited the Statue of Liberty, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Padre Island.

18. With the exception of trips to St. Croix and Hawaii, I’ve never left the contiguous 48 and have never had a passport until this year.

19. I’ve only truly loved three women in my life.

20. I hate my picture being taken but love taking pictures of others, before my latest hospital snafu, I was saving up for a Canon Xsi.

21. I’m competitive and I’ve examined the grey between black and white.

22. I’ve never been arrested but have 6 speeding tickets. (Yes, I’m a goody two-shoes)

23. I once had a 27 year old virgin attempt phone sex with me on my answering machine. Whenever I am down, I play it, knowing I can never be as bad as her.

24. I love the colors Red, Black and Blue

25. I have a sarcastic sense of humor and I will do whatever it takes to go to the line between comfortable and uncomfortable just to see how people react.

26. I hate change. (I know it’s supposed to be 25, but just in case someone wanted a BONUS reason)

If you haven’t been tagged, BOOOOOOOOOM Now you are.

Yes, I’m good with a portion of evil.

Another day in paradise…

… went to the doctor and there is “nothing he can do”.  I have to wait for the one oozing bleeding wound to heal on its own.

It kinda sucks, but everything else is healing at an incredible rate so I guess I can be patient with it.

No, I can’t.

This weekend was incredible as Joanna and I got to enjoy Brian Regan on Thursday, and instead this weekend I discovered Stephen Lynch. Better and funnier….

Then Friday we enjoyed Sea Monsters at the Science Spectrum…

So WHAT could top that?

Hmm,

How about Darius Rucker , yes HOOTIE, Dierks Bentley and Brad Paisley. Jo and I got to meet Darius and Dierks, didn’t get to meet Brad, but from what I heard, his tour manager is a tool. But what do you expect? Tour managers jobs are to be the prick to the artists cool.

We were both happy that Darius brought out the Hootie catalogue and Dierks got an encore. Now how many times have you known an opening act to get an encore? Not many that I have heard of. Brad’s concert was a decent show as he kept the energy up the entire time. People were amazed that Allison Krause “came” to the concert. But they were mistaken by his 48 screen projection system that did a decent job though they had issues with the right half of the screen for the opening number.

It was a great night until I started to feel a pain at one of my sites from the surgery, and when I put my hand to feel it… blood. Not good but as I said at the top there is nothing that I could do.

Joanna has a job interview tomorrow and I hope that she gets the job. She certainly needs it to keep the parents off her back.

Work has been busy and I have five interns this semester which means that they are taking care of all the nitpicking little things that has made my life this year after the surgery easier. I am a lucky man.

I’ve avoided the poker rooms the last couple of weeks because I’m secure that my team I picked for my poker blog will come through and win by the end of the year.

Joanna and I have been losing weight because of our diets. I think that having someone support you is great.

Tonight was the greatest night in a long time. Why?

Brian Regan…

Well tonight Jo and I went to see Brian Regan at the Civic Center.

Funny guy but was more impressed with the opening act Kermit Apio!

Jo and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings cause I was craving buffalo wings and I’ve been good on my diet that I started after the surgery.

We came home and watched the new Burn Notice and decided that Saturday we’d clean the garage and I’d spend 3 hours doing nothing but writing.

I miss writing, but I have been working on some projects and spending more time thinking and writing stuff that I don’t want anyone to read.

The sites on my stomach are getting better I just need to give them more time.  I heal fast, but I’m so damn impatient.

Still waiting for my “revised” passport to show up.  Still surprised when I sent a New York birth certificate that they would put Lubbock, TX as my birthplace.  Hell, I love this place but sheesh.

Hoping my friends are doing well.  I’ve been lurking around, busy at work, my busy time of year preparing for my major event.  Then I get to go to Ireland.

I think the hard work will pay off.

Until tomorrow,

sd

Have you thought of the following today?
Calling a lost friend? Smiling at a stranger? Laughing for no reason? Kicking someone you hate in the privates?
