These dogs are barking!

What's your prediction for Geof's time working Chicago?"




"My prediction? PAIN!!!"


As I mentioned in a previous post, I am in the wonderful town of Chicago for a mega convention over the next week. The good news is that I get to enjoy the fulfilling nightlife that Chi-Town has to offer, with parties and events. The bad news is that oxycodone is not legal because I could really use some right now and Alleve is just not cutting it.

No I'm not a drug addict. I am talking about the need to cure the aching of my feet. See, I have to stand on pure concrete (with $0.01/per 20 sq. ft. carpeting) and walk all around the enormous complex for some 11 hours straight. Then there is another hour/hour-and-a-half wait in the taxi line. So yes my feet are a little sore. Actually, they are Uber-SORE! These dogs are barking!

I teach hockey every week which requires me to skate on my blades for close to three hours without sitting down at all and when I come off the ice, I can run a mile. That tells you how much anguish I am experiencing now and will be for the remiander of the week. I sat down to finally write my review for Paranormal Activity and all I could type was: "The couple in Paranormal Activity had it easy. They didn't have to stand on concrete for 11 hours at a time for 6 days straight. And they feet didn't feel like they were eating the rest of their legs." So as you can see I am not in the right frame of mind to do that right now.

So if you think I am being a little girlie-mon and telling me to call the waah-bulence or some shit...I challenge you! I challenge you to stand on some damn concrete in your tight ass (but baller) dress shoes for 11 hours straight with no breaks for 6 straight days. Will you accept the challenge?

If not can you at least send me some pain killers for my barking dogs? Pretty please?

(ETMC Disclaimer: Geof does not advocate the recreational use of pain killers and is only venting because his feet are Throbbing harder than Gristle.

Secondary Disclaimer: Geof is not a fan of the band Throbbing Gristle. In fact, Geof never heard from them before until he just did a google search to find something that throbs and didn't want to write anything with sexual allusion

Third Disclaimer: Geof is not a fan of Throbbing Gristle because they suck or anything, it's just that he never heard their music before and cannot give an opinion on whether they are good or not. So hopefully no Throbbing Gristle fans were offended because no intentional offending remarks were made.

Fourth Disclaimer: Geof never refers to himself in the third person like The Rock or Rickey Henderson or even Terrell Owens. Geof is only doing so because all of the blood from his head has rushed to his broke ass feet.)
