Watched Airport 1975 and Boston Strangler on American Movie Classics this weekend. Both starred George Kennedy, the greatest action actor of all fucking time.

I like the term "lactose intolerant" almost as much as "carbohydrate addict." Like if a restaurant owner is lactose intolerant, he might make milk deliveries come through a separate door. lactose segregation would require milk to be stored in less desirable coolers. People who are lactose intolerant might burn crosses in the parking lots of dairies. This is how my brain works. I'm Gooch, and I'm a fucking idiot.

I need my glasses this morning. I can't see the screen on which I'm typing this. I hope there are no typos, as my tapping on this keyboard is merely making the gray haze on the white screen get larger the longer I type.

GOOCH:blind

Police bust suspected drug house

I've drank at this house and played pool in the garage which apparently was later turned into a meth lab. I've partied with the homeowner's ex-wife and ex-girlfriend. Not since the Gina Hoesly incident have i felt so close to the news.

I'm on sort of a Xanax bender this week. Really need to get stabilized. Blahblahblah. Working in the office, watching Rocky. Good stuff. I'm tired but I can't sleep. Gonna go to a watering hole, grab a Red Bull and read a technical manual as I fall asleep.

Gooch:who cares.

Holy shit. I'm perpetually tired now. I worked 86 hours from last Thursday to Wednesday, two days ago. Relationship is in shambles, I haven't talked to any of my friends, I've no energy to do anything, yet I've got plenty to do. I need to go tanning, buy hair products and get a haircut tomorrow.

While I'm at it, I'll go shopping for a new dress. Jesus, what have I become?

I saw one of those "Carbohydrate Addicts" books floating around. Can you imagine an actual carbohydrate addict? I picture a guy on a street corner offering to trade hand jobs for sugar packets. Guys selling their televisions for $10 so they can buy a loaf of bread and a bag of C&H. People going on carb benders. Sweet.

I've got to go... I'm going to suck some dick for a shot of corn syrup and a pixie stick. I'm addicted to Carbs!!!

Get it?

I've worked my ass off for the last few days. I personally moved 36 computers, monitors, mice, keyboards, and peripherals from three offices to one consolidated office for a company. On Friday I worked 18 hours straight of manual labor. At 2am I found myself pushing a cart load of monitors thinking that Christ had it better when he was carrying his own cross. Where's Mel Gibson when I need him. The Passion of the Gooch... indeed.

Fuck it, I'm tired, going to bed.

GOOCH:out

What the fuck. It's midnight? I'm in my neon lit office working on the same laptop for about six hours (two billable) merely for the sake of learning and troubleshooting. It's a good thing, I'd probably be drunk right now. My drunken antics at night yield better stories than my tech support antics. I'm watching the Ashlee Simpson show right now. I'm actually going to have to work eight-hour days starting Thursday through Monday.

Now that I have real couches in my living room, I've lost the excuse to get girls to watch television upstairs in the bedroom because you couldn't sit on the futon for more than ten minutes at a time withour incurring injury or at least having your ass fall asleep. It's the end of an era:

IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS TV AT NIGHT, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE WATCHING IT IN THE MORNING.

Speaking of my mattress, I need to get another one. I don't think you can just throw away my old one. it'll have to be burned or something. God, the fumes from the lube (silicon and water based), scented massage oils, and the pheromones alone might cause an air quality advisory.

I've been watching a lot of television lately. A lot of commercials about hounding the fuck out of your kids during their free time to keep them from drugs and alcohol. Hey, parents, I've got a tip to keep kids off drugs: Lock your liquor cabinet, get your bong off of the coffee table, and hide your fucking coke better.

Also on the TV tip: Sunday night I watched King of the Hill and Simpsons. KoH was about an overbearing, obnoxious Hispanic gentleman who gets in a fight with his wife and somewhat forces his stay at the Hill Household and imposes on their family. The Simpsons was about Homer becoming an ordained minister. Both plotlines paralleled episodes of my own life within the last eight months.

Drunk Gooch is the best: I was just cleaning out the kitchen a bit and found a 7-11 sack with two hot dog boxes, a twinkies wrapper (you fat fuck), a Maxim Magazine and a Rock Star energy drink. I don't remember purchasing any of this stuff. The Maxim and Rock Star came in handy tonight. What a pleasant surprise. Drunk Gooch needs his own credit card, though.

I'm in a really good mood right now. I know it's artificial, probably from the caffeine I just consumed. I'm supposed to go on "stabilizing" drugs to keep my moods normal. I'm supposed to avoid coffee and alchohol, which is like taking an ice-pick to the Bubble-Boy's life giving plastic shell. I'm fucking freaking out. If I really start to freak out, I'm going to hire Rodney Gooch to assassicate me. The only cool ways to die are to be assassinated, or to die while pulling kids out of a burning orphanage. I'm likely going to die from an untreated case of syphilis because I was too lazy to open up my health insurance packet. Not a cool way to go, but if it's good enough for Al Capone... what the fuck, right?

I thought we were invincible. But now I know that the things that people in love do to each other, they remember. And if they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.

Holy fucking shit. YMike in California called me and asked if I'd seen any news. I thought he was going to tell me about Sandra Dee passing away at 63, after which I'd call him a fag. Wow, shocking.

Meanwhile, I've been working a lot as usual. Trying to maintain a relationship... counseling in the near future. Did help my girlfriend's kid urinate into a urinal for the first time. I held him by the shoulders and aimed him, which is the exact technique that my friends have used When I'm too drunk to piss on my own but not to honorably pass out.

Victory is ours!

I traded my badass leather zero-gravity recliner for my Mom's furniture set. My living room is looking less bachelor like, with the exception of the Scarface and Goodfellas posters.
