You Found What?

I had been having problems with my garbage disposal so I called the plummer to fix it. So I had to come home during lunch to meet the guy at my place. He began to snake the drain to unclog it. It was taking him longer than normal so I wondered what the problem was. He kept turning on the disposal and nothing was going down so he un screwed the pipe to see what the problem was. He pulled out a spoon, actually not just one spoon but 2 spoons were stuck in the pipe! Yeah, no wonder the disposal wasn't working! The plummer tells me you need to stop putting spoons down the drain! Duh, like I would really put a spoon down the drain on purpose! Now the drain is unclogged and our disposal works, now I can do dishes again!

The Best Time at Best Buy

Last Wednesday I was in the parking lot of Best Buy on my way to pick up a few things. I was just about to turn into the lanes to find a parking spot, as I was just about about to do that I felt a bump to my car. My first reaction was, 'That bastard just didn't just hit my car!' This was not making my day go well, I really did not want to deal with the exchange of the insurance and then taking my car in to be fixed, that is such a pain. I then park my car and got out to look at the damage, I couldn't really see in anything in the light so I backed up my car towards the parking light. Both me and the man that hit my car looked at it. I couldn't see any scraches or chipped paint. That was a relief! The man said he didn't see anything either and he offered me $20 for the whole thing, I took it, its $20 for nothing done to my car! Score! I just got $20 for someone hitting my car!

'Sick' on Monday

Yesterday I called in 'sick'. Ok I'm burning in hell cause I really wasn't sick, I just wanted to take my birthday off. Overall my birthday was good, I slept in and went to lunch with my mom and then saw a movie, then that evening I went out to margaritas. I had my first shot of tequila. Sorry most of you were there to witness it.... I had fun and would like it be a regular Monday margarita day- hell $2 margaritas! Another year older and all the new fun and exciting things I can now do.....I guess ill have to wait til I'm 65 to get a discount on things....oh well....

A little Johnny for today

Unchained
Johnny Cash
have been ungrateful
And I have been unwise
Restless from the cradle
But now I realize It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Oh I am weak Oh I know I am vain
Take this weight from me
Let my spirit be unchained
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk
And I am overcome
Seems that we've both forgotten
Forgotten to go home
Have I seen an angel
Or have I seen a ghost
Where's that rock of ages
When you need it most
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees

A Day of Relief

Two years ago last August my uncle and his best friend was hit by a hit and run drunk driver. Just this week my family received justice for the killings. To this day it is hard for me to forgive that man who took away a great man but as time goes by there will be forgiveness. What his death taught me is that there is no question that drinking and driving is wrong and I will never do it no matter what. In the past few years there has 6 deaths that all have meant different things. It sometimes is hard to believe that God sees sin, whether it be driving drunk and killing someone or just lying to someone as the same in his eyes. It is amazing God's forgiveness covers everything you do. It is also amazing how man can forgive someone that killed a family member yet they have a hard time forgiving that friend talked shit about you behind your back. I just ponder on that sometimes, why do we choose to forgive some things but not other? I am just glad God didn't decide to do that.....

Birthday Lunch

Since my birthday is in the month of November, I was invited to the November lunch for all the employees that have their birthday this month. There was only about 8 people who showed for lunch, of that I only knew one other person. We had to introduce ourselves to each other and to top off the funness of the lunch we had to listen to a 20 minute spel about how our company is doing. I just love to sit around a bunch of people I don't know and talk about useless things! The food was pretty good, we had a chicken type dish with rice and steamed veggies and for dessert there was cheese cake. Ah, the things I have to do for a free meal........

Double Take!

For all of you who know Jeremy Phelps, there is this guy who comes to the written world that looks very similar to him. It was crazy the first time Nathan and the James saw him!

Last Saturday was the Alpine's Sneak Preview. There was around 200 people showed up for this private party. The place looked amazing. A lot of money was put into making this a success. This is a pic of the lodge. Alpine's grand opening is Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks Tad!

After talking to my friend Tad yesterday about my job, I realize I was not doing anything to go for the job i want. Today I finished filling out the application for the job. Even though I have gone though the interview process for this job before I am determined to do something I actually went to school for and not do something I don't want to do for a while. So hopefully I will actually find a job that I am happy doing......

Where is Waldo?

My new project for the next week or so at work is proofing maps. You might think hey, that sounds fun. Jon pointed out its just like Where is Waldo, yeah right Jon. Making sure the cities are where they are suppose to be is so much fun. And its even funner when they don't give you the coordinates to find the city and that is where the fun begins trying to find a damn city amongest many others, get the margaritas out for the fun times! One good thing is I found the Promise Land it's in Pennsylvania.

New Post

Ok I haven't blogged in a while, I feel like jared and justin but they have blogged more so I have no excuse. Nathan said he would look at my setting so I know why it doesn't look right. I've been thinking a lot about Tim lately especially since I hang out with miki more. I still can't imagine losing someone you have loved that much. I just know that I miss him as a friend. The funny thing is when I think about the memories of him I can't help but think are they real memories of what I remember of him or just memories that someone else has of him? I don't really know of anything I can really say to miki, I just have no words to comfort her. I really don't know how she feels, what thoughts are going through her head or how she deals with everyday life without him. I just want her pain to go away but does that mean for sadness to leave too? I don't know I wrestle with that all the time. Help us deal with his lose but not to forget him or what he has done.
