I didn’t want to sleep last night…

I began a short script yesterday. I was going to finish it last night. But first I needed to work out. When I got home I talked to Dale about a script I am supposed to send out today (or soon). It got me motivated. I really need to get back on the writing track once again and pump things out like I use to. It used to be easy. Now it’s a struggle.

I was so tired though. I finally made it to the gym last night. Every weight felt heavier than normal. All my sets were a struggle. And it was one of those nights where I just didn’t have any motivation to go. Especially to get in the pool, get out, dry off, change, then run and do weights, etc. It was too much of a hassle. But I did.

I got out of the house at 8:15 and got in the pool around 8:30. I swam an all time high – 14 laps. Twelve of them with training fins and the last two without. That’s 700 Meters. Almost half a mile! It took 22 minutes and 40 seconds. Of course with several rest breaks. I got dressed as fast as I could then did an easy 20 minute run for 1.78 miles. I didn’t push myself too hard because it’s been more than two weeks since I’ve workout. Then I did weights for thirty minutes.

So yeah… I was tired.

But I didn’t want to sleep.

After my shower I managed to play FIFA 06 for about twenty minutes while drinking this god-awful ‘recovery’ drink by APEX. It was like drinking sugar water. I also had Dale on the phone as I tried to score some goals on FIFA. I was multi-tasking! The game is awesome by the way. But damn hard.

I slipped into bed around 11:45 and watched the Battlestar Galactica episode from Friday night. Wow. This show is edgy. They don’t hold back. They don’t do the pretty thing. They get down and dirty and they cross the line I’d say. The characters are heroic yet flawed. It’s definitely not for kids in my opinion. I mean, would you ever hear Lorne Greene (as Adama) of the original series tell Starbuck to put a bullet in Cain’s head? Uh… no! But Edward James Olmos (as Adama) did! Wow. Good stuff.

And like I said, I didn’t want to sleep. But I did.

And I had to get up three times to pee, I had to get Bella out of bed at 3:00 because she was coughing and needed water, and in between that I had restless night. I asked Donna to do it but she didn’t budge. So I got up and got her. Originally was going to just give her water but then she said, “Can I come sleep your bedroom?” At 3 AM I can’t argue. And I love it when she puts her head on my shoulder as I carry her to our room anyway. It was a rough night. So yeah, I didn’t want to sleep, and when I did, it wasn’t restful at all. I should have stayed awake.
What else? What else what else?

Oh yeah. Jessica called me on Sunday and said, “Guess what Papa. I got a PSP!” I asked her if her dad got it for her and she said no. She thought she was getting it for Christmas but didn’t. So she used her money she got from Christmas - $250. I was like, “Awesome! What games did you get?” She was like, “None. I didn’t have enough money!”

NONE? How do you have a PSP without games? How sad. Poor girl. I told her to email me a list of games she wanted. Of course she didn’t hesitate and a few minutes later I went to Target and got her Need for Speed – which was on the top of her list.



And of course I couldn’t resist and bought some games for Jake, Donna and myself.

For Jake:
He picked it out. I wanted him to get Spiderman or Fantastic Four or even The Incredibles. He, of course, chose another Star Wars game.

And for me…


I couldn’t resist.

And that’s about it I guess.
