David where are you?

Friends,

I know it's been ages since I last posted anything. I've been so busy lately that I just haven't gotten around to wasting time posting anything. Ahh who am I kidding I got bored with blogging and completely forgot about my little area of webspace until I came across the car seen to your right. Yes it seems that Kit was enjoying a nice day outside for a leisurely stroll while Mr. Hasselhoff was inside getting a steakburger and/or a milkshake from Steak and Shake. Seeing as I didn't want to disturb David or Kit as they could've been on a secret mission to overthrow some terrible plot to destroy human kind I simply snapped this quick pic and went on my way knowing that the world is safe with Nightrider in my vicinity.

Snow Day....????

Ok now I've seen it all. When I used to live in Missouri there had to be at least 4 inches of snow on the ground before it was even a possibility that school would be canceled. I can even remember a couple of times when I was in school that nearly all the buses were late because of bad weather conditions, but we had school anyway. When I went to college... well lets just say that your door had to be snowed over for the campus to shut down (translated: no such thing as snow days).

I move to Memphis, TN and thing were... well... let just say that snow had a little more effect on things down there. If there was even a dusting of snow things were canceled. This to me was completely foreign. I mean I could sneeze and the streets would be clear yet they would call off school.

This has all been topped by today however. Yes today a school day was canceled with out there being any snow on the ground!!! Yes folks, school was canceled without snow on the ground. In fact it wasn't even snowing when the cancellations came in. School was canceled on the mere possibility of it snowing. Yes you read that right... THE MERE POSSIBILITY!!!! And when I say school I mean all schools, including the college campuses. Now as I'm sure you're all wondering at this point, "well did it actually snow??" the answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Not a dusting, nor a flurry, hell not even even one freakin flake!!! Unless someone sprayed some water in the air and it froze before falling to the ground there was NO SNOW!!! So yes, here, the POSSIBILITY of snow can cancel schools. Good thing they didn't say there was a possibility of a blizzard, people might have just decided to board up their businesses.

Blindsided

You know it's odd how things end up being the way the are sometimes. A month ago I was getting very tired of my job. Seemed to be doing nothing but working and was completely burnt out. A month ago I was actually looking at other jobs and thinking of leaving my current spot. Now, however, I don't think I could be dragged away by a raging bull tied to my ankles. It's amazing how things can change so fast. Seeing as how last year was for me I shouldn't be surprised by that, but then again it's crazy how sometimes the chips fall in just the right way that things work out perfectly or more than perfect. I was completely blindsided by the way the chips fell most recently but I sure am liking how they fell.

A good weekend

This weekend my Dad was in town, and he was in town for one simple reason. For us to go to D.C. and visit "The Wall." As you can see by the picture we made it. I'm happy that I could do this for my dad. I know it meant a lot to him. I'm just happy that I could help him close a chapter and be there for him and with him when he did it. This was my way of being able to give a little back after all the years of my dad being there for me through thick and thin. Hopefully now dad can find a little more peace in his life.

Put me on the DL coach

Yes, I finally hurt myself playing basketball. When you consider the law of averages and the state of my knees and ankles I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. So I'm sure you're all wondering what happened. Well according to the doctor, since I went to the ER to get it X-rayed, I have a serious sprain injury however I'm pretty sure I actually dislocated it but popped it back into place before I went to the ER. The doctor wasn't sure about the dislocation part, but I'm pretty sure that when I snapped my foot from being at some crazy odd angle back to being in the proper angle that that likely constitutes as dislocation.

I'm basically out of playing ball for the rest of the year and I'll have to stay off my ankle for at least two weeks. The bad thing is that it's my right ankle and so I haven't figured out the whole driving thing yet. Maybe I can teach myself to handle the gas peddle with one of my crutches... (don't try this at home kids!!!)

For now though I'm kinda handicapped and depending on friends to help me get stuff and get around town.... Actually I'm hoping that my friends can help me get around town. This theory hasn't been tested yet. I will say this though; if it hadn't been for one friend in particular I might've had to figure out a way to drive my ass home by myself tonight. So to that friend I am very grateful and lucky to have her as such.

An odd phone call???

Today was unlike any other day. I was in cycle making babies as usual. It was actually a slow day, and and looking like I'd get off early for once (and I did). However, there was a part of the day that, well... just stuck out. I got a curious e-mail from a previous employer asking for me to call him ASAP. Now I would have to say that this previous employer would be the last person on earth I would ever expect to want to call me, but he did. We talked at length about things, like where I currently am, and what I'm doing and comparisons between where I am and there. Yes it was a very interesting conversation indeed. What makes it all so funny however is that my previous employer doesn't know that I do know exactly why he called. Funny those things are.

3G Goodness!!!

Wow it sure has been a long time since I blogged on here. Wish I could say a lot has happened in that time but alas it's been pretty mundane actually.

I guess the best news is that I upgraded to the new 3G iPhone on Saturday. Yes, Saturday because all the freakin stores were sold out on Friday. Hell, I was lucky to end up with it then. I got one of the last remaining two that were at the Apple Store after they had just got a fresh shipment that day. So why did I upgrade when I had only my old free iPhone for about three months before hand. It's not because I had to have the coolest newest gadget out there. It was because I was pulled into a wading pool as a joke at a party and thus my old iPhone met it's untimely demise. Good reason to upgrade though right?!!

That really has been the highlight of the entire time since my last blog was posted. I've been on a couple of dates in that time. Some good some bad, noting really worth mentioning on here though. I do have one tomorrow night and so maybe it'll go well. We'll see.

Oh, one thing I guess that's worth mentioning is that I've picked up a room mate for a short time. Being the good friend that I am I'm putting up one of my best buds that I've made while being here in the Beach. The owner of the place he had been living sold the house and thus he was in need of new living quarters before he ships out in three weeks. So being the good friend that I am I put him up for the three weeks. So far it's been good but if all else fails I can just throw his carcass into the bay.
