Where's Jesse?

enjoying myself..

I am sitting outside of my house on the deck, Tanguerey and tonic in hand. The weather is absolutely gorgeous, my friends are sitting in the hot tub, we are all talking, it is just perfect. There are no mosquitos, the fountain is going and the candles and lights are all on. I can't ask for anything better. Well, Karl could be here. He went to work the auto show in NYC. I'm sure I will have more than my share of pictures to post of stuff that he thought was incredible.

This week at work has been really quiet. It is actually really nice. My supervisor is out for the week for a funeral in Florida. Unfortunately, unexpected, my heart goes out to her. I have been doing my own thing, getting a shit load of work done - Madonna's new CD has been in heavy rotation. I can describe what a difference it makes to be able to listen to my own music and do everything i'm supposed to do without someone perched over my shoulder.

On a totally random note, I have been thinking lately how lucky I am to have what I have. When I was driving home last night there were people in the middle of the road, waving their arms. I wasn't sure what was going on and frankly I was pissed because I thought it was people fucking around. It turns out they were totally legit. There was a deer that had been hit and it was just in the middle of the road, struggling to get up on its feet and sprint off into the woods. I saw it and it just hit me. I wasn't sure what to think, other than this poor creature was helpless in the road. I was thinking to myself as I drove by, if I could have had the mindset that the deer did, what would I be thinking? I just couldn't imagine.
