Things are getting tough. New year means new stresses, but it also means new challenges. So far work has been pretty sweet. I love wearing a suit to work everyday and rocking a pocket square totally makes me feel like a boss. However it seems that people don't have the money at the moment. So many time wasters. Especially when they make you pull out a million watches or rings and then just walk away without even considering a thank you. All well.
In three days I will be Sydney to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES on the IMAX. I am so very pumped. It's my first break since my trip to Bali, and will be my first days off in 14 days. I am running low on energy and really need some shopping and Batman. I am going to the marathon, so first BATMAN BEGINS, then THE DARK KNIGHT. Cannot wait!
My tax return was awesome, but this will be the last big one because I am now working a Full Time job. My "plan" is to be super practical and wise with the money. I need to get myself a new suit, pair of shoes, shirts, and watch for work. All investments, spend a little on myself for fun in Sydney but save, save, save, the rest. I need to start planning my future. But which watch? TAG Heuer? Bell & Ross? Raymond Weil? Longines? Choices choices choices.
Speaking of future. I am now living with my girlfriend. Things are really going well between us. I really connect with her on and so many different levels. She isn't like previous girlfriends. Their aren't mind games or stupid clauses. She speaks her mind, tells me what she wants or doesn't want, and we just talk. Crazy ey? The only problem is that we share the space with another couple, they are lovely, but it does make it hard to have some "us" time and even harder for "me" time. Hence why we are both looking forward to my break to Sydney.
We are pushing the boundaries sexually, and are considering the possibility of a foursome. We have always been open about the desires we have, and she made it clear to me that just because she was dating and living with me, didn't mean she would stop wanting pussy or in fact, other men. We are being reasonable about it, and trying to find what works for us. It's not completely new ground for me, but so far it's been great just thinking about it. We think we have found a nice couple interested in swinging. I will let you know.
I am rereading James Ellroy's American Tabloid. I love this book. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it. It's a dark retelling of the rise and fall of JFK and the men and women around the Kennedy family. It's American history as only James Ellroy can write it. I am also revisiting HBO's Bored to Death. Such a great and clever show. Pity it was cancelled way too early.
Thats all for now. Cya!
