Well, 2005 is here and I hope the first couple days aren’t representative of what the rest of the year will bring. It’s been a pretty blah time around here….

The kids have spent the past few days with their Mother…

Friday, during the day, Susan and I went to Haverty’s and bought a new, very expensive mattress. For almost two years we have been sleeping on a cheap $400 king size mattress I got right after my divorce. Cheap mattresses don’t do well for bad backs, let me tell you. Friday night Susan and I ate chicken wings (the hotter the better) and drank red headed sluts (my favorite shot). We watched movies then went to bed soon after the new year arrived. Yesterday we didn’t do much of anything but watch football and eat. The Cotton Bowl was awesome! The Tennessee Volunteers spanked some Texas A&M booty! I wonder if I have any Aggie fans who read my blog. I know there are a number of you from Texas. Well if any of you do pull for Texas A&M I just have this to say….”Ha, Ha…we kicked your ass!”

Today has been pretty much of the same….extreme boredom. I had hoped for a little lovin from the wife, but she was her usual unenthusiastic self. In other words I got a half assed blow job for about 3 minutes till I finally told her to forget it and got up and left the bedroom. Oh, but she sure came like a champ last night, but as usual can’t put much into reciprocating. And she wonders why I sometimes look at porn? Thank God that I can masturbate…

In the past two weeks I have been off from work quite a few days, what with the holidays and taking the remainder of my vacation time. During this time I have got into the habit of taking naps. Now I am not a usual nap taker. I hardly ever do, even when I don’t get my usual seven or eight hours at night. For some reason I have been taking quite a few lately, maybe it is just out of boredom….who knows…but the weird thing is that I have been having some wild dreams. My most vivid dream lately was one where it fell upon me to rid the neighborhood of an infestation of dragons. These weren’t the usual huge fire breathing variety, but instead they were the size of a raptor, were white with little wings on their backs, and they talked. I remember, in my dream, having to go out into the woods and hunt them down with a bow and arrow. I also remember seeing the half eaten corpses of my neighbors who weren’t as lucky at the hunt as I was. The thing that most stands out to me in the dream was not the terror I felt at being pursued by these monsters, but the lack of concern Susan had for my well being as I left the house, for what could have been the last time, to go confront the queen of the dragons. I remember wanting to kiss her and be held by her, and all she cared about was what was on t.v., rather than if I would end up the next dinner of the neighborhood herd of dragons. Man, everything about this dream seemed so true to life…I wonder if there really are dragons in the neighborhood….

I have noticed that a few of you have been listing some resolutions for this new year. Well, I pretty much have two big ones. The first being that I plan on losing weight. In the past six to eight months I have let myself really go. I have probably gained a good fifty pounds. Tomorrow, January 3rd, 2005 I will begin an intense, regimented low carb diet. I have had a lot of success with this diet in the past. The first time, in the summer of 2000, I lost about 96 pounds. From October 2001 till Feb. of 2003 I had gained about 60 of it back, but started the diet again that Feb. when my first wife left me. I quickly lost the 60 lbs, and snagged myself another wife in the process. Now I am back up to within 20 lbs of my all time high weight and I am sick of it. I am tired of the closet of clothes that don’t fit. I am tired of the comments from my wife, and I am tired of feeling like such a slob. If I still had a digital camera I would post a before pic here and then another in four or five months so you could see the dedication I have to losing this weight.

My other resolution is to exercise. I used to be pretty into cardio and weight training and I intend to be that way again. Starting tomorrow I will begin walking the neighborhood (watch out for the dragons!) and doing sit ups and push ups. Hopefully soon I will be able to again join a gym or invest in some home equipment. My friends, there will be a new and improved Chuck around here pretty soon. Maybe it will help the other aspects of my life if I look and feel better.

Well, I reckon that’s about it for now. I hope you all have had a nice first couple days of the new year! I’ll be talking to you soon….
