As of late, I have been working here at Secrets all night – and running around like a chicken without a head all day. As a result, I have not slept more than three hours a night, eaten only one meal a day – and spent less time with Beavis than ever before. I have to say that although I am always a very busy man – I have never been this much of a “man on the run.”

My day usually starts at 9:00am, after going to sleep only three hours before. After doing a few household chores, I then either do work, which includes graphic design, helping friends and colleagues hand out newspapers and marketing materials – or meeting with prospective clients. Then, I usually come home around 5:00pm or 6:00pm, spend about two to three hours returning phone calls – and then head to Secrets at 8:00pm where I work until 3:00am. I usually get out of the bar at 3:30am, get home at 4:00am – and spend about an hour to an hour-and-a-half unwinding – until I go to bed, wake up the next morning – and start all over again.

I have always done a lot in my life, but I have never been running around at such a fever pitch as I am now. Even when I worked for the Giuliani Administration, moderated the South Park Digest, and hosted Ring Fever – my schedule was never this hectic and erratic. I think the reason for this is because the work I am doing now is more labor-intensive than ever before. I have always been more of a “white-collar” person, never having to perform the tasks that I do now. So when I spend seven hours on my feet at Secrets and then wake up hours later and hand out newspapers – I realize that my body cannot handle all that I am putting it through. In fact, that scenario actually happened two Fridays ago.

No matter what is presented to me, I always perform my duties to the best of my ability. But no matter what it is that I have to do – I have to realize that my body can only take so much. So what I have to do is cut down on my daily duties and get some much needed sleep – before my body retaliates to the point where I will need some recovery time…

…besides – I really miss Beavis.
