Life

"Hey. What are you doing still in the office at 11:oo on a Friday night? Don't you have any life?"

"Life? Life? I've got my girlfriend who I haven't seen in a week but can't stay up for a movie on a Friday night and gave up alcohol for Lent so I'd actually have to entertain her, I've got a Russian go-go dancer who won't stop calling me to come down to the bar because it's slow and she needs someone to talk to, I just found out that an old friend's cancer is in remission, I've talked to a half dozen people I haven't seen in years in the last three days, in the last month I've spent $8,000 on comic book memorabilia, one of the greatest (or worst) weekends in my life is coming up fast and I'm not even close to being ready, I'm so friggin' swamped at work I can't even breathe and at 11:00 on a Friday night I'm sitting at my desk pricing jobs, writing a talk about the bible and realizing that I've never felt so horrible or so great ever. Life? I can't handle anymore life right now...and I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Uh...sorry I asked."
