DEAR LIFE,
I remember when I had one. I would like you back please.
This work-12-hours-and-then-sleep-and-go-back thing isn't the most satisfying existence.

Dear Dan's Current Life:
I will be glad to adopt you if Dan kicks you to the curb. My current 12-hours at work, and then the gym and then to school and then homework and then sleep for 5 hours and then all over again life needs to move on. Ahhh, summer break, just the 12 hours and the gym - yipee!

If it makes you feel any better, you are not the only one who misses having any sort of life at all. xo
Posted by:DetroiterInNYC | April 22, 2008 at 12:36 PM
Oh no. I hope things slow down a bit for you soon so that you can enjoy everything you miss right now.
.. On the bright side, I bet your paychecks are currently bigger than usual!
Posted by:Daveia | April 22, 2008 at 05:53 PM
That is not a good way to live. Hopefully it will get better soon...

This is why I envy the folks in socialist countries. They don't have to work so hard that they don't have any kind of life. They have all kinds of fun. Our 100% capitalist system really robs us of our humanity. It only gets worse and worse the older you get. Canada is looking very enticing to me now.

Just passing by...I was in South Beach last weekend and saw you on Friday at Oriente where I was having dinner the next table over with my boyfriend. I watched Real World Miami in high school and having someone gay on tv helped me understand and realize I wasn't alone.
So, this is off your topic above, but I just wanted to say how cool it was to see you on Fri.
Take care.

Justin, you should have introduced yourself. Don't be shy next time. Dan, if you were still a media whore you'd actually have a life and the bad part of being a salaried employee is that you don't get piad if you work overtime.

Go here: http://men.style.com/details/features/landing?id=content_6746
Details did a photo shoot with 20 former Real Wolrd cast members. Melissa (RW,MIami) bashes Dan in her video interview. What's her problem? The shoot happened at the time of the Awards Bash so it DOES pay to attend these shows. I am sure the cast members got paid a nice sum for appearing in Details. You can buy the may 2008 now!!!

Amen to that, sister.
