Welcome to my happily ever after...

birthday night
Well, Friday again. I usually look forward to the weekend so I can smoke and look at porn for hours on end, however now that I am refraining, I somewhat dread all that free time. Last night is a good example...I did everything possible not to sit at home. At one point, I made a trip to the grocery store just to buy cat food. I have a whole cabinet full, yet I went just in case I run out. I'm looking for any excuse to get out. I have worked out more this past week than I think I have in the last year. I've been averaging about 30 to 45 minutes a day on the stairmaster, and normally I would have died of boredom after that long. All to keep from being at home with nothing to do. Isn't that sad?
You know, perhaps I am just imaging it, but I really do feel like I have more energy since I haven't been smoking. Maybe that is part of the reason for my frenetic new routine. Also, I should take some of this new energy and do something I have wanted to do for a long time: volunteer work.
There's a website called volunteermatch.com where I have signed up for events and charities I wanted to give my time to. Can you believe that I haven't received ONE response after three months, and I have signed up for about 50 different things? I never realized that charities were so particular about who donated their time to them. Gee whiz....I have a master's degree, can speak English, and I don't have any open sores or anything. Why doesn't anyone want me to help them?
Today is Carlos's actual birthday, and he is coming over tonight so I can take him out to dinner. His coworkers bought him the "Lord of the Rings" DVD, and I promised I would watch it with him tonight. Now, I would sooner get a root canal than watch that movie, but seeing as how it's his birthday, I will sacrifice. I guess I'm unlike about 99 % of gay guys in the respect that I really don't have a fondness for science fiction-y type stuff like that. Can someone explain to me why so many homersectional men like Star Trek please? Inquiring minds want to know.
