I feel completely different in the morning than I do at night. I wonder if this happens to everyone? Sometimes I will go to bed at night with what seems to be the greatest idea ever, then when I wake up, I feel exactly the opposite. Sometimes I will have the greatest plan in the world right after I wake up, then that night, I no longer feel that way. I don't really have much more on the subject. When I woke up the other day it seemed like the perfect topic, but now, not.

I called in sick to work today. I do not have a cold or flu like symptoms, I just did not want to go today. Technically, I am not lying or cheating in any way though, because I am sick... I am sick of going to work. Does that count? I think it should.

So far I woke up at 10am and watched The Price is Right. I have been wanting to stay home from work and watch it for a while since Drew Carey took over for Bob Barker. When I was little, I sort of enjoyed being sick and staying home from school, just so I could watch The Price is Right. It is a spectacular show. Then, I ate some oatmeal and made some Jello. Next I ordered a new book from Amazon.com. It is Steve Martin's autobiography called Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life. I have been waiting for the book to come out for 3 or 4 months, and it finally comes out tomorrow. Also tomorrow, the new video game Rock Band comes out for the XBOX360. I have been waiting for it for a nearly a year. It is like the Guitar Hero series, except it has a guitar, drums, and a microphone, so it should be fun. If you have two guitars, then someone can additionally play the bass. so you can have four people 'jamming' at once. Best Buy will be open at midnight to sell it, but I think I will go to Fry's tomorrow morning around 8:30am and see if I can get it there instead.

So for the rest of the day my only plans are to go to the post office to get a shipping envelope for something I need to return, fill up my 5 gallon gas tank, because I like filling up my motorcycle at home in the garage, rather than at the gas station, and eat a late lunch. I will probably have some shrimp. I may go for a short afternoon motorcycle journey. Then I will prepare for the Monday Night Football game. I hit a 3 game football parlay yesterday, which returned 6 times the amount of money wagered. It was good times.

I think if I had just a few million bucks, I could easily live out the balance of my life and be perfectly happy. I really don't need much to occupy my time. I find myself rarely getting bored anymore.
