S.N.O.W

I'm done with it. Sure it is better than gloomy regular winter but only when you don't have to drive in it. I am tired of people thinking they have invincible cars when they drive in snow. I would not have issues with snow if my car could stay clean and I did not have to drive it in while worring about all the other morons on the road.

I need a vacation away. I'm not sure the cruise in March will come fast enough.....

A New America

I'm not really sure what to say about today. Remarkable, fascinating, amazing, historical... the adjectives could go on. For so many reasons today was beyond words. To watch an African American elected President means so much not only for this country but for the world. Never in my life have I been so attached to a presidential candidate or excited about who gets elected. I have hope again for not only this country but for the world. Obama is a man who seems to always know what to say how to inspire people and how to bring people together. He is the answer to what we need.

I'm pumped that Obama can; speak un-scripted and not sound like a monkey, bring people together, inspire people, give us hope, loves his wife and kids, is a minority, his background can hopefully help in areas of the world who aren't too fond of us, wants to try to talk to enemies before fighting them and the list goes on.

I also have to say that I was so excited to see Bush go. What that man did to this country and to our reputation in the world is unbelievable. I am thrilled to see him go and see the end of the Bush's in the White House.

Brrrrrr.....

So I hate the sound snow makes when it is so freaking cold (as it is now). It kinda has the same effect as nails on a chalk board for me. You probably know the sound I am talking about - it's like a squeeking noise. I feel like the snow is even trying to tell me that it is way too cold. Negative numbers as lows and highs are totally unacceptable. Places have closed beacuse it is so cold. Last time I checked we were in Ohio, not the Artic. It is too cold but I do like the snow.


PS - As a side note I also hate having to spray cleaning stuff on my windshield every .2 seconds when driving because of how dirty it gets. Totally annoying.

2009 Re-do?

I would officially like to request a re-start to 2009. It has not been good so far. One of my co-workers had a family member commit suicide, another one's wife lost a baby three months into the pregnancy. I've had my own relationship issues.... it's just been way too much already.

So how do you think I could go about starting 2009 over again?

Ok I've Been Lazy....

So my last post was in Novmeber. It's now 2009 - I've been a little lax. What I've been up to? Not a whole lot.

Went to Kyle and Ashley's for Thanksgiving. Met her family, played a LOT of Guitar Hero World Tour, the weather was warm, it was nice.

Went to Philly for work. Sucked. :-)

I got sick the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas. Lost about 5 pounds because of not eating, but I felt horrible. I would not recommend this type of diet.

Kyle and Ashley came home for Christmas. Ash missed her connecting flight by 10 minutes, I reamed a few folks at American Airlines, she got a flight through Chicago to Cincy and Kyle had to go get her. They were here for about a day and a half then Kyle drove her home to South Bend, IN. On his way home he got caught in an ice storm and had to stay in a hotel, getting back Christmas Eve morning. Again we play a lot of Guitar Hero, we have a problem.

Went to a cabin in Hocking Hills with Autumn, Dan, Aaron and two dogs. It was a good time. We lucked out on nice weather to go hiking. I'd go back.

New Year's Eve Aaron and I went to Autumn & Dan's. We played Guitar Hero World Tour(seeing a pattern here?). We had a good time.

Came to work yesterday exhaused. Two weeks off was great but I was up way too late, slept in too much and was overall REALLY lazy. Don't get me wrong it was a great break but getting back into the grove of working isn't going well.

So there you go, now you're caught up. I promise I'll be better at posting.

Oh yea - and I'm counting down the days till January 20th! :-D
