Stop and get out of your chair right now!



I want to feel bad for this 900-pound man, but I just can't. You think when he reached 500 lbs, or when he's started calling his wife to come wipe him - he would've sought help. I do just love the quote from the young reporter "he sat in a lazy-boy chair for the rest of his life." Dramatic!

**Put another quarter in the jukebox**


Today I sat in front of 2 computer screens for 9 hours.
Strenuous is what comes to mind. Bloodshot is what comes to eye.
My contacts have been giving me a ton of trouble lately. Each day I go to work,I strive to have clear eyes and take pride in my somewhat intelligent appearance. Each day I come up short like a Roloff's foot on the gas pedal. My eyes burn worse that a jalapeno-lotion inspired handjob. No bueno. I'm thinking of getting Lasic eye surgery once I can afford it. I'm sure 30 years down he road my eyelids will droop below my cheekbones like saggy breasts - but for now, I think the operation will be worth the constant look of Royal Highness.

Snow Haze


Here's a quick pic of what's to come this season: white powder body massages, intense learning curve from babee, exploding aerial jumps through fiery rings, grinding 100 feet of rail blindfolded, riding backwards down a double-black run, back flips at sunset,and handcuffed handstands. Since I like to compliment myself every now and again I would just like to say "Looking sharp Escobar.....looking sharp kid!"
Oh how the snow makes me cold, wrinkly, and white like a rotting corpse. But there are two positives to every negative: 1) it sure is exhilarating and 2) My babee is the best instructor this side of the Mississippi.

Just Keeping It Real

To embrace a new life is to embrace change. Change is key in life, and key to love. I've been in Denver almost half a year and I think I have been quite successful. I have grown closer and closer to Monica and have landed two separate (and very different)jobs at law firms. The first job dealing with bankruptcy didn't work out. George T. Carlson was Garbage T. Work.

My second job has been great thus far.
Foreclosure......ahhhhhhhh breathe it in. You know it goes down good when closure is in the title of your business.

After all the dark years in my past, I finally feel like I've done something on my own. I'm keeping it real.

I'm proven.

Definitely a John week

To me, there's really only one musician who can speak to me through his soul. I've been reflecting a lot this week about everything that's been going on in my life as of late. Through all the ups and downs, highs and lows, thoughts and worries, exciting jubilation and nervous ticks - John's always there.

It's time

I have thought long and hard about every negative and positive outcome that will result from picking up my things and moving to Denver. I have to say that my positives definitely outweigh my negatives. Happiness is one major factor that will be guaranteed if I move. Not that there won't be times of stress, sadness, and struggle - there will be. Looking at the big picture I feel extremely confident in my strengths, my skills, and eventually my success. Packing all my things and moving into a world of the unknown will be a challenge in itself. I've always been a very competitive man in whatever task I decide to take on. This will be my biggest task to date. Here's why I will succeed: I will have someone by my side who showers me with love, encourages me, and gives her ongoing support. I work at Paychex for pennies - I mean come on really?
It's a fact, employers hire more attractive applicants. Hmmmmmm......I'm tall, have blue eyes, and a winning personality. It's natural that things are already looking up for me. I will not only take on this new town of mine, I will conquer her. Though times will be tough, I will be happy. It's time. I'm coming home again.

An unsure future for a very sure man

There will be a lot of changes in my life throughout this new year. If I had to choose just one song to base a very important decision on, what should it be? Is there one song that can make my decision easier? Is there one song that can guide me to eternal happiness? Or is there one song that can make my decision for me?

With that said, the nominees for Best Advice in a Lead Role are:
