aaaahhh...up before the sun, I love being an insomniac, I have so much more time!!! Time to do nothing but surf the net, scribble nonsense in my journal and watch cheesy horror flicks. I am watching Skeleton Key roght now, and so far it si LAME !! Maybe it'll get better.......doubtful at this rate....."oh my god KAte, don't try to open the hidden door...WAIT!!!"

...blegh.....

so on a side note I have been training to run the Peachtree (10k), I will be happy just to finish and do not expect myself to run the whole way, yesterday I broke the 2 mile mark and was still breathin, miraculous since my lungs are black black black !! Smoking for 10 years will do that to ya, and get this, the best time for a cigarette is after a run, it burns ur lungs and gives such a huge buzz, I really can be abusive to my body...I still can't believe I agreed to do a 10k....I am so not a runner...although I do see why folks say it is addictive....runners high is no joke........

good night at work last nght, I have recently decided that I don't give a fuck if the mexicans at work like me or not, they are so fickle anyways and all the ever talk to me about is sex, I am so over it, my Spanish has progressed from bad to worse...all I ever hear is 'quieres culiar?' and 'verga' & other ridiculous shit. It is working wonders, the respect level has risen tremendously, not just from the familia but from everybody. I realized that even if other people were letting their shit slip, I would still have the sharpest knives. I am in this to be a great chef, no mediocrity allowed. It feels good to be back !! The past 6 monhs have been so blah, and I am happy to be focused again, it inspires me to cook and create beautiful food.....I made a duck salad yesterday with pear, fennel, lime zest and a port vinaigrette. I wanna make it again, but next time use confit, instead of what I pulled from the stock pot, flavor was good, texture was bad.....

now I got to come up with a replacement pasta dish, I told Gerry yesterday I was bored out of my skull with alot of the dishes on grill, and since they were all virtually out of season, maybe we could make some changes, he laughed and told me to go to town with some ideas.....so we'll see...I know he'll throw some curve ball at me in the next few days...he has in the past.....

alright....I think I might go outside and watch the sun rise, birds are singing and the moon is moving down....

Peace yo and oh yeah TGIF !!!

and also don't forget to file ur taxes or an extension (if ur a slaker like me)...Unkle Sam can wait for my.... damn $$
