OK, look out, here comes a punch, making up for last short column.

Do you look forward to the weekend? Time to relax and have fun? I have a saying it goes something like this. "TGIM" Thank God It's Monday.

It's Sunday night, I'm feeling battered and bruised by my weekend. (Was it the fights?)The early part of the weekend starts on Thursdays... Stables Michigan Idol night. Lately I feel I have to prove my self to friends Josh and Shawn, that I really can stay out past 10:00 PM after Stables Michigan Idol contest. That constant peer pressure is getting to me. laff

Okay Fine, go make rounds after Idol, down to Duso's then over to Indian Barry's something is going on over there. Head down to Lucky's say hi to brother in-law. OK its 1:30 AM. Is that late enough, or am I still a wussie??

Friday, get out of office, carry TEN boxes of wild addiction inventory to post office, luckily without falling down stairs of 18.

Take two trips to Shirts Mugs and More. Hair maintenance, at Stylin' & Filin' roughly 2 to 3 hours. Ahh, Have quality time to talk with sister, make plans for nephew's birthday party, "OH Party is at my house, yes, must find time to Clean House, uh no not in reality, do I still have my x-cleaning ladies number?

Get camera charged, going to fight night number 1, Boxing, walk down to Hooters with friend, I think she beat me up that night, or did she tell me I beat her up. IDK

OK back to fights, don't have my camera man, I'll just get some stills, run some video, no problem, stop visit with some friends. Do I have time for some boneless wings, only had 3 java monsters today.

Sister and friend are calling, they are at the gate, OH NO, I lost their tickets, oh well, buy them new tickets and a couple drinks for the confusion.

Did I miss the bout I was waiting for??? Who won that last bout, ask Penny, no she's not paying attention, someone keeps screaming. Crap, why don't I have a bout sheet?????

OK, great night of fights, get out of there, must catch brother in-law's band they start at midnight, No, now it's delayed till 1AM, - kill some time. Somebody thinks they saw a chicken walk by, I explain and make announcement over P.A. System, Hen House open till 4AM. Said I would be there, better head there after concert. I really should not be eating this late. It's packed.

Drive Keely and Sally home, wait, why am I driving you two home, how did you get there. Finally, I'm home, tired, husband wonders why I'm arriving home at 4AM.

(Mental note: Must brag to friends, Josh and Shawn, that I was out till 4AM . . . They will never believe me.)

(Saturday) Cat wakes me up 4 hours later. Drink Java Monster. What! . . . Now I'm shoveling dirt, yard maintenance. OOuu are those fire ants, yuck! Have to quit to bake cookies for Family Re-union /Pool Party.

NO, I didn't really bake them, but I had to run out to Columbus Ave to Theresa Sweets to pick them up.

Stop to office download roughly a hundred pictures of fight night off card. (I will only use one third of them)

Make it to party, only half hour late, I'm doing good, Get thrown in pool with cell phone on, or wait that was last year, get my butt beat in a game of pool, but win at darts and foosball. Got to go, "I'll come back after fights".

It's Mixed Martial Arts tonight, but it's raining, double check, is it still going on? Of course what's a few rain drops, aren't you tough enough?? Hell yeah, I'll just wear my toughman hat. Whew, make it through another night of fights, awesome.

Sunday, The Lords day, wake up half an hour late for church, Drink Java Monster, I'll still be the first one there. Get beat up by the scripture, my faith needs improvement.

Stop to store on way to office, pick up more energy drinks. Work till 6PM in office, OH NO, did I miss the chicken BBQ Event?

I'm so hungry I could eat a cow, get home, threw frozen pizza in the oven, finish work from home computer, missed another work-out, crap, forgot about the pizza in oven, oh well, it's burnt but it's food.

Get a call from business associate, oh yeah, I forget about covering the golf outing on Monday AM, ah yeah, I'll make it. See ya then.

Darn . . . Missed the Buick Open this weekend.

WORRY, Is God gonna punish me now, 'cause it sounds like I'm complaining about being to busy, will I lose my job now??. . . maybe I should not have written this, but my boss said I needed to update my column, this is what was on my mind at the time, Will I make publishing time at Midnight?

Results = Monday morning.
