I am not to be martyred, I am not to be worshiped

Well, we can all thank Lily for this post, because she's been yelling at me for a bout a week to update. so, Lily, this is my update.

I have some good news to relay, well ... unless your name is Pat McGhen, then you hate me for this.. but I am going to see Guster in november... in Gettysburg. I'm going with Jeremy and Lee Ann and we're going to have a blast, and hopefully they'll have a t shirt so I can buy it for my brother, he really really really wants a guster t shirt. okay so maybe that's a lie, he would probably burn it, and then me.

Other good news, roof's done, and so far we haven't really been tested but there are no leaks.

I actually wanted to do this last night, and I was in the mood to update.. today I'm just not in the groove, and I'm talking to jeremy, so I'm distracted so I'm going to end this now and possibly do something later.

Dream yourself to sleep, at night
only lying beneath the clouds.
Spend your lifetime, in the shade.

Did somebody tell you this is how it's supposed to be?

I know it seems like forever since I last posted, but I have made the effort tonight to ramble on about a few things.

Thing number 1 - I was thinking today, something very uncommon (yes I know), but what if the world stopped turning? What if the sun stopped rising? What would we do? I mean, I would surely be disappointed. Not so much because of the end of the world, but because I honestly don't think I've lived my so called life to it's fullest potential. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with what I've accomplished thus far, but I certainly can say that I would like to do a lot more than what I've done. I haven't made the best decisions in some areas, but I've made decisions beyond my years in other areas. What would you do differently, if you knew you only had 7 days left in the world?

Thing number 2 - With all the hype about hurricanes going around, it also makes me wonder if we are really prepared for nature's "disasters". There are a lot of safety procedures that do happen to make things easier in our survival, but what happens when what we think is going to happen ... doesn't happen? What if we expect it to last two days, but it lasts two weeks? Because personally I don't think there's any way to judge mother nature. I would like to see what we could do if a natural disaster happened in this area.

Thing number 2 ... that's thing number 3 for those of you following along at home - I want to add something chipper to the end of this post so that everyone doesn't think I've gone all depressed and want the world to end and want everyone in the area to die in a flood.... It's true that I've been rather upset lately and I'm kinda lost, confused, and frightened, but I don't want everyone to die in a hurricane, or by global warming .... just a couple handfuls of people. muahahaahaa!

Happy Anniversary

wow, it's 8:05am ... I just got home from work. I went in at 3pm yesterday afternoon. wow! 16 hours of slicing roast beef. blah.

Past few days have been kinda fun. Aside from the 16 hours work has been really good. Spent the past couple of nights at Jim's, his parents were out of town so he was scared to stay home by himself. haha, not quite but doesn't that sound funny? We played madden, checked out hot girls on myspace. And.... yeah.

Uhm, yeah, I have to be back at work in 6 hours so I'm going to bed.


Happy annual celebration of my birth. (21)

hopelessly human

Kansas is on my playlist right now... Kansas is good. I found out today there will be a fall hockey season, and I have been picked for the team. I'm excited about this because I didn't get to play this season because of work. Works been okay lately, I'm not looking forward to this week though because tami's going on vacation ... so that means I gotta work crappy shifts this week. and I also get to work on my birthday, which I don't mind so much, but other people have been calling me dumb and telling me I should have requested off. Oh well, I'm going to bed.

flush on the turn

I recently decided I would start playing cards with my dad and his buddies, and I've played in 4 games before tonight, and we played 2 tonight. First game of the night, five people playing, first man out. Nothing too exciting. Second game, still with five playing, was a little better for me. I ended up winning the game - $80 - not bad. So after 6 games putting in a total of $144, I now have $80 of it back. Now they're going to want me to play a lot more often... and I don't have a problem with that I just have to keep an eye on money situations here and there. But, it's 4 am... I have to leave for work in 5 hours... I'm going to sleep.


final hand, all in, flush on the turn card.

grow some hair

last night was pretty fun, went to the steelers' preseason game. It started out cool when the steelers decided they wanted to score a touchdown in 12 seconds... on defense. But the game got more and more exciting as the people around us got more and more drunk. We had these two guys trying to fight. didn't really work out too well. and me mike and adam just decided to make football turn into every other sport. and, for the record - big ben is going to hit 17 homeruns this year. that's my prediction. I'm trying to think of other stuff to write.. and I just can't do it.
