Getting Stupid with Cupid
I haven’t had a cold that kicked my ass as hard as this one has in a long while. This one has been kicking for about a week now and I’m finally feeling better, but not 100% yet…then again..I’m probably never 100% any time.
I went out to dinner last night for an early birthday dinner and to see a band we’re thinking of booking for our wedding reception in June. After dinner we had a few errands to run and thought we’d swing by target. All of these people were last minute shopping for a Valentine’s Day card and since we were both there and didn’t see the need to spend money on a card…we each picked a card and then handed it to one another and read them. We both said happy valentine’s day, kissed, laughed and then continued on with our evening.
I’ve been following the Olympics, which is always a nice break from typical programming. I was randomly glued to the biathlon earlier today where the participants would ski for a bit and then stop and shoot, then ski on for a bit and then stop and shoot. I would be a little nervous competing against someone with a loaded rifle on their back, but then again I shop at a ghetto Wal-Mart twice a month whether I need to or not.
What’s up with the crazy professor in Alabama who shot her colleagues over not getting tenured? It’s not like all the clues weren’t there before this all happened…apparently having some involvement in a package bomb in the early 90′s and the “accidental” death of her brother… I don’t have all the facts, but this lady has some problems (beyond issues).
Anyway, I’m working on a few more blogs that will be posted in a couple days, but wanted to post some filler today.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
The roof sounds like it’s about to blow off of my place…I’m going to go see what that’s all about.
Super Bowl Sunday
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
I woke up feeling terrible this morning and I’m going to bed feeling worse, but I’m going to try and take it easier than normal and hopefully won’t be too sick for long.
As much as I love going to Wal-Mart during this time of year to witness the mayhem of people filing taxes and then going nuts with their tax return in the form of an instant gift-card, I didn’t have the patience nor time to deal with the people or the lines (since the closest Wal-Mart is nasty and often has a third of the actual lanes open) so I went to
Sam’s Club where I was in and out in 10 minutes and now have toilet paper for months now.
I was pleased with the Saints victory tonight. I joined the game early in the 2nd Q and watched to the end.
I didn’t think The Who was all that bad. I was expecting a total shitfest of a half-time show with many artists and the children holding shit up etc. My attitude may change if I have children someday, but I’m really glad they didn’t bring in some childrens chorus. I know…it’s a big deal to the kids and a great moment in their life…but the fact is…I hate listening to children sing.
I need a good night’s sleep and to remember to grab a dollar so I can buy a homeless paper tomorrow from the guy I try and buy from when he has a new issue. Since I have more spare time now, I think I’m going to do a little more volunteering with a few needs organizations. I always volunteer for the beer festivals, but feel I need to do a little more interacting with the people that the organization is helping.

The Snow Fall
This weekend I was finally able to sleep in a little. The weather has been extremely cold and there was a little snow on 
the ground. That didn’t keep me from helping a friend of mine on Saturday unload a van full of items that had been in storage for a while. Once we got everything unloaded at her place, she offered to drop some drum cases off that she was giving me and then pick up a load of items headed to Goodwill for me since she had a van at her disposal. The very last box of records I was getting rid of was in my hands I headed down the stairs. About three steps down I hit some ice and threw the box of records forward because I knew I was about to tumble. I landed on my ass so hard and then bounced down another step or two. Yes it hurt like hell, but I hope anyone who witnessed had a good laugh (I would have, had I seen it).
Woke up this morning with a really bruised backside.
Getting ready to record
December has been a very busy month for me. A couple years ago I decided to go back to school and finish a degree I started many beers ago. Next weekend I will have accomplished the goal of finally finishing my bachelors degree and walking across the stage to accept that. Many are asking, now that I’m done with school what are my plans? My plans are to reconnect with my creative side and put out a record that I’ve wanted to record for a while. I will be working on building new websites and custom blog themes and learning how to 
operate a new project studio that I’m slowly putting together.
I’ve written more papers this month than I ever care to do again (unless I’m getting paid) and have been going to work in a stressed out over dramatic work-place to pay the rent. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone smile in the office and it actually mean they were happy. I’m looking forward to the holidays and having some time off to spend with friends, family, my fiance, and work on The Cesspools.
Gym Nauseaum has really helped me out big time with getting my project studio ready so that I can continue working on more material between times when we can get together. I’m excited and really have a bright outlook for this next year.
I will be back to updating this site at least once a week. Feel free to holler at me with questions, ideas, suggestions, etc.
Happy Holidays everyone!
