Vinnie's Journal

Ahoy folks!

I am back to writing my journal again after a hiatus. I hope you enjoyed that little bit on cats that I wrote. It was originally a post on a food friends Facebook page when he asked if his cat was plotting to kill him.

Another reason why I am writing again is because this month I am going to tackle the entire Art of Manliness 30 day challenge. I am already off to a rocky start as I have not done task one or two and as of 20 minutes ago, it is now day three. But I will do them. I want to do all thirty and get that feeling of aconplishment. So I will be posting the results here on the journal.

I don’t know if anyone actually reads this journal, but it gives me a feeling of releasing thoughts from my brain. If anyone of you non existant folks follow me on Twitter then you know what crazy stuff happened since my last entry. In mid December the office I work in had caught on fire and all the employees displaced. The most important people in the company, the folks who brought in the money were rushed off to a underground bunker to keep working. I feel the dust has finally settled and all the workers are split between two temporary office on either side of the river near Valley Forge while the old office is renovated. I still don’t have a computer or phone, but I do have my iBook that I brought from home to get work done on. Work os also picking up; I have been the busiest this week since before the fire.

Well it is past midnight and the cat has got off my lap so I will now go to sleep.

Good night.

All cats are working upon a sinister agenda to over throw the human race and kill us all. That is until they realize that they need us to open catfood and empty litterboxes. We are doomed the day cats learn to do this themselves.

Sorry about the lack of journal posts toward the midweek. I would have to say that it was a crazy busy week at work and now we go into one of those lulls where there are no copy jobs in bin.

WEDNESDAY:

Not a very eventful wednesday. Had a rather good Jimmy Johns sandwich to eat. Also I discovered that the Dekalb Street Bridge is now open again in Bridgeport. It helps make commute home go that much quicker.

THURSDAY:

I am now realizing why it is a good idea to do this journal daily. I cant remember what I did on Thursday. I do know that I went to swim class and that the instructor was sick.

FRIDAY:

Whoo Hoo, Friday. I had a good Friday!! Lorin and I went to the Gym and had an awesome workout and then headed out on a date night. Yup, I took the wife on a date! it was fun. We went to CPK and had coctails and pizza. Then we went over to Dave and Busters for some fun games including skeeball. When We got home I saw that my new safety razor had arrived along with a badger hair brush and some shaving soap.

SATURDAY:

I got up early and went to CVS to pick up some aftershave and talc. I then had some breakfast, showered and tried wet shaving with a safety razor for the first time. What an adventure, naturally I cut myself.

Lorin and I went to the Dog show and saw those cute lil’ Duck Tollers! Of course we had to wait though hours of Cocker Spanials just to see them compete. Didn’t get to see John O’Hurley this year.

SUNDAY:

I decided I needed to give myself the USMC fitness test. Oi! I scored a mere 34 on the test. I am not fit enough for the military I guess. My legs are killing me however after the three mile run. And then I went and chopped down Rosemary’s front bushes with a chainsaw.

Day two of wet shaving: Still cut myself, but I got a much smoother shave, I think I am getting the hang of it.

Went to a thrifshop and spent some time with Lorin there and came home to dinner with the Ryan’s. I finished the day with cartooning until midnight.
