Bless me father for I have sinned it has been a month and a half since my last blog entry. Oh how the memories of CCD classes don't go away regardless if you are into it or not in your adult years.

Well it has been a while and I come with good news, I am fine. Sure I have not blogged but to be honest it's because I have not really felt like it. This is not for a dislike of blogging, I have just been doing other things and at the same time trying to have a balance at home. So I pretty much said to myself in order to relax a little at night I will either blog or read and lately I have been heavily into reading. Of course my time is shaved down a bit due to crazy and fun work schedule but that's my reality. To quote Rick Derringer, “I'm still alive and well”. So what's up with me? I'm glad you asked.

WORK: Work is going very well. I do keep very busy and I'm willing to work all hours and sometimes very long hours to get the job done. The bottom line is I'm happy and I still love the position. If we have a good fourth quarter I may part of setting some facility records. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I can feel the stress building already. If only I had control over everything.

HSL: Well, HSL is going well. Myself and barb are rockin'. Sadly though I found it difficult to keep paul in the household. There was no way I could create the proper balance so I needed to do what was best for everyone. I'm still interested at some point in trying a third party again but that is certainly in the future. Recently we had a blast at the MR. Eagle contest. Congratulations to Preacher, he's the new Mr. Eagle. He deserved to win and I think will do a great job. Myself and barb are looking forward to this weekend. It's our hometown event, The Mr and Ms. NJ Leather contest. I will run the stage ad this year barb is a judge. She's going to rock it again. Actually she's a wonderful tough but fair judge. The other thing that's cool is that our leather gigs for 2010 are starting to come in. I will be the MC at SPLF, Myself and barb will be giving a key note at SELF. It also looks like we will presenting at MAsT Philly and of course presenting at other events around the country. So all that stuff is coming together once again.

THE GYM: I am ripping it up big time. My arms and chest have gotten bigger again. I'm starting to follow some more body builder style routines and it's helping. What really makes this fun besides the extra size and strength is that barb is ripping it up too. We also have both gotten into the sport of bodybuilding. We started to get into it a while ago but now we have a greater knowledge of it and the people so we are down with it. So much so that it looks like we are saving our pennies to go to Mr. Olympia in Vegas next year. STOKED for that.

MUSIC: The scene is lame and we live in the soft generation no doubt about that. But we did get to see UFO and Monster Magnet recently and both of those shows were fab. As for CD's Ted Nugent's new live CD is amazing. Yeah he's a turd with his politics but his music which is not political is amazing. Kiss has a fantastic new CD out, Sonic Boom that was a pleasant surprise, The new Alice In Chains CD is pretty good and of course the New Clutch and the new Wildhearts CD's are rad to the tenth power.

BOOKS: I finally finished reading the Shock Doctrine. That was an amazing book about shock warfare politics and economies. The book really does a great job of explaining the steps to oppression. I also just finished Fear and Loathing in Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Train 72. Both are Hunter S. Thompson books and both are fantastic. Read, read and read these books. I just got the new Henry Rollins book in the mail. Signed and numbered for my pleasure and entertainment. The book is called A mad Dash. I hope to start to read it next week.

So that's the update. I hope to blog a little more. If not, be patient, I'll get to it one way or another.

I hope you are all well.
