Thanksgiving 2007


After Thanksgiving dinner, I always meet up with my HS friend, the Professor, for coffee at his folks. It's a nice tradition I look forward to each year.

After that, I meet up with Tommy; he's a multi-millionaire who owns 17 patents. Chances are pretty good you own something he made.

The interesting thing is that he's also the guy that first truly taught me how to fight. A mugger once pulled a gun on him but he...well, Tommy did bad things to him. He and I have our own traditions:

Niece: Uncle Tommy and Logan are fighting again.
Someone: Don't break anything!
Tommy: (to me) What rules do you want?
Me: No elbows, no knees - oh, and no closed fists to the face, I've got a date tomorrow morn...
Tommy: (punching me in gut) Don't be such a baby.

Friday morning, I woke up, ate a ton of ibuprofen and met up with a pretty Italian attorney. Our date went from coffee around the way at 11:12, to pizza in Times Square at 14:00, to saying goodbye after the Butterfly Conservatory at 18:20. We laughed so much, I can't even tell you.

But we're both swamped with work and she's off for business next weekend. I guess things'll happen however they happen.

I stayed in Friday night and most of Saturday to work but did venture out for a bit on Saturday night. I met an almost pescatarian, blond, Jersey girl that spoke German to me and told me I looked 26 when I asked. I also met a cigarette-smoking, brunette, Brooklyn girl that spoke Chinese to me and told me she was single when I didn't ask.

Sunday, more work.

And now (deep breath) it's Monday.

Music: the sirens sing so sweet and watched the sailors go down

There were fewer butterflies about since the guys shipping them there were on vacation (so we were told). But still, it was very cool.

And where have you been?

I've been listening to a song (I believe in symmetry by Bright Eyes) that says just that. I woke up thinking I should have put that in instead.

And you're right.

Haha! You know how to have a good time! I love how you describe everything as well, your perspective is inspiring. Thanks again for your advice. Glad you had a fun date. I wonder if you met me (without me being here on LJ) what you'd write. ;P

Ah, it's Monday, shoot, must go to bed now! Goodnight. (I agree with Mikaa.. it can be a cycle! Hopefully not too much though.)

Hahaha - who knows? I'm sure it'd be something good. I never write anything bad about anyone and I'm sure I'd think you were genuine.

I'm glad you're on LJ again. It helps to put your thoughts down somewhere, doesn't it?

From Jersey no less!

But this one said that she did each chicken occasionally so that's a good thing.

I did have a great holiday, thanks (back to the grind now).

As for the attorney, we'll see how it shakes out. We're both really busy but we had a lot of fun. Who knows?

I've been dreading the return of Monday. I didn't go to work for 4 days and I still feel like balls for coming in. I have poor work ethic.

And I'm cold.

And my hair looks funny.

Well, the day's almost 1/2 for me already so that's something.

And I'm sure your hair looks great...

Ooh I like your Tommy friend. Was he formally trained or was it just stuff he picked up. Also, what specifically did he do to the guy 'cause every time I ask about defense against a gun the inevitable answer is "you're screwed."

He was formally trained and, at 14, came in second in the nationals in China for forms.

We do taiji.

He said the guy got close so her disarmed with a wristlock, which he said he put on until he heard a pop, but didn't know how to fire the gun (he tried and found out later the safety was on) so he threw the gun at the guy and chased him for several blocks.

my brother and I used to spar too. He's a mixed martial artist, while I was in aikido. Needless to say he had me tapping out more times than I care to admit.

That's pretty cool - I wish I had someone to spar with growing up. Maybe I woulda gotten beat up less.
