A "Dr. Cox" rant on ten things I hate...at 2:30 in the morning on a Saturday.

Ok...I have some pent-up...whatever tonight for some reason. And frankly I'm ready to give my ten things I REALLY hate...especially when I'm up at 2:30 in the morning.

10: Rachel Ray ('Nuff said)
9: Legally Blonde (the movie and the musical and any and all sequels)
8: Bad Drivers who drive at 1:00 AM on Fridays.
7: People on Facebook who say the word Holla...the phrase is dead. Move on.
6: Did I mention Legally Blonde? If so it's worth at least 2 spots.
5: Realizing you left your cell phone in the car when you're on call, and have your shoes off and are sitting in your Boxers watching last week's episode of The Office.
4: Back Pain (See previous blog)
3: Obamaniacs...ok we get it. He won...yea for you. Now sit down and shut up. He'll do good or he'll tank...but for goodness' sake...people seem more excited about this than their own accomplishments in life. I'm glad Bush is out too, and I know Obama will probably do a good job, but the election is over...and I'm sure Obama will lie like Bush did, Clinton did, Bush Sr. Did, Reagan Did, Carter Did, Ford Did, Nixon Did, LBJ did, Kennedy did...etc. No president is perfect and Obama will be no different. Oh and for crying out loud...who cares what dog he gets. For that question I lost 10 minutes of One Life to Live...thanks Obie.
2: One word: Clowns...really no more needs be said...they should all be put in a rocket and sent on NASA's first manned mission to the sun.
And the number 1 thing I hate at 2:30 in the morning...
LEGALLY BLONDE!!!! (Seriously...Bend and Snap makes me wanna bend and snap her nose off and feed it to her.)

You may now go back to your joy joy feelings.

"Irrelevance"...or the youthful misconception of it. (RIP Aunt Shirley).

 It's strange getting older.  I don't know if it's my generation or not...but in a lot of ways I still feel like I'm the younger person everywhere I go.  Even when I look in the mirror and see white hair (well...less of it on top but plenty on the bottom) and I realize that most of the music I listen to is in fact over 30 years old I can't help feeling that I'm still 'not quite grown'.  I think that's why I'm still surprised when I speak to my bonus kids or niece and nephew and they get this look on their faces that I don't have any idea what it is I'm talking about.  That in a lot of ways...I'm irrelevant. Not in any mean way. Just in that way that I can remember thinking my Dad and Mom and any person older than 28 couldn't possibly understand what it was like to be a somewhat socially awkward kid trying to navigate the simple things in life like High School, dating and how to program the VCR to record episodes of Next Generation...

The loss of a 'watershed' person in my life. RIP Stan Gosek.

It's hard to lose your heroes.  Such a profoundly obtuse statement in some ways. Of course it's hard. It involves dealing with ideas of mortality, growing into roles that until now we were happy to have filled by others and judging by the previous generations I've seen, an overwhelming urge to go to early bird dinners and eat peanut brittle and cole slaw (thank God I haven't gotten to that last stage yet...cole slaw still feels like an abomination YUCK) In the past few weeks I (and many many others) have been dealing with losing a true mentor and friend to cancer. Stan Gosek was a true renaissance person. Gifted in teaching, tennis and probably most importantly...music. He was a 'watershed' person for me and so many others I know. My wife asked me last week when I described Stan in those terms what it meant. I always defined a watershed person as someone who would come into my life, and change it so that every day after getting to know that person...my life woul...

NOW it gets busy...oh wait...nevermind I'm never NOT busy

Ya know...I love the holidays. From frigging Halloween I start thinking about Christmas. What am I gonna get Deb? What's Deb gonna get me? What's my parents gonna get me? What's my sister gonna get me? What's my friends gonna get me? You get the idea... Seriously though...I do love this time of year. Yeah it's busy. I remember back the first week of November and going through the calander and seeing what each weekend consisted of. We had PRETTY MUCH every weekend but 1 mapped out till the end of the year. When you're sitting and looking at 12 weeks of plans you start to get a little overwhelmed I think...I know I did. So here we are...10 days out. My last ten days in my early 30's...from here on in it's a race to 40 and for the life of me I can't imagine my life any different. This week alone I had a meeting last night, tonight is a meeting with Deb to see where we're at with Christmas, tomorrow is actually open, Thursday is Men's...
