Okay, this is gonna seem a bit far reaching here, but it's true, nonetheless. First off, we're living in the Eastern Time Zone. Okay, now that that's established... Here's my problem with the Eastern Time Zone... I don't think that we have ever REALLY left the Pacific Time Zone. Even after years of living in Nebraska and now living out here. I hate the Eastern Time Zone. For one, all the really good shit to watch on TV... Comes on so damn late, that you just don't wanna watch it!! Let's take Hockey for example. In Oregon or California, I used to be able to watch a Hockey game at around 5:00 pm and be in bed by 8!!! Hell, watch a double header, and be in bed by 11:00 pm!! Now, games start at the earliest... 8:00 pm. Haven't watched a full damn Hockey game since Nebraska. Monday night football. Comes on at 9:00 pm here. No shit!! I'm in bed by 9, if I have my way. Oregon... 6:00, games over by 9.
So, if it were just a matter of watching sports, that would be pretty pathetic. But, it's not. I was contemplating getting up early each day and going for about a 3 mile run each morning. That's only a half an hour. 35 minutes at most. Well, that means I'd have to get up at 4:25 each morning taking into account peeing and getting dressed. Hell, it's hard enough getting my ass moving at 5!! I still feel like I'm getting up at 2:00 am, Pacific Time. Shit, we used to get up early every morning in NE and CA. Never really bothered us like it bothers us now. I still think my internal time clock is set to Pacific Time. Heather's too. It's like a sickness, trying to get up anymore.
So, now that it's 5:25 and I have to get moving and slide a couple cups of coffee down my throat, I should probably stop typing and get a move on. Oh, the running thing... That's because I NEED to start getting back in to shape. It's finding the time. My day starts at 5 am, and I don't get home from work till around 6pm. By then, I'm so damn pooped that I just wanna eat dinner and go to bed. But yeah. I'm getting to that breaking point of tired of looking at myself. SO, it's time to change my physical habits. Hell, I rarely drink anymore. And I'm not gonna stop eating what tastes good, so I better start running.
Damn... I wish I was in California. I'd still be sleeping for another 2.5 hours.
Later, kids.

Tell me about it....every time I get the urge to call you it's like 7pm here, 9pm eastern, and that's just too late to call. So in case you were wondering why I don't call you guys much....there you go. Yeah, and the TV schedule doesn't ever match what is actually on TV. Furthermore, I still haven't figured out what time a show comes on when the announcer says 10pm pacific/9pm central.....What???? Where does mountain come in????? Anyway, that's all I have to add.
well i live in california and the only thing thats good about IS the tv schedule and time zone. this is one subject i have zero complaints on, i am amazed to find something in life i cant whine about. i will save all the things i HATE about california for another post because it will take too long. funny, i do remember watching sports and even the oscars at like 11pm or midnight when i lived in virginia, thats wacked! oh and one more thing! for all you young folks writing in, try getting up in the morning when you are a decade older like me, with an extra 10-20-???? pounds on ya. :)
i guess i should edit before i hit send....i meant in my first sentence that the only GOOD thing about living in california is the tv schedule and time zone, in case you were going "duh?" like i was when i re read my post. there you have it.
