Friends are Great

Not too long ago, within two weeks, I got an amazing surprise in the mail. A brand new camera. Not just any camera, but a NICE one. A Rebel T1i, which was just for me. I was not expecting this camera at all, although I did hear from Miss Me that I was getting one, she was able to trick me into believing she was not telling the truth about 3 days later. I believed her.

Needless to say, I was shocked and floored when it came in the mail. I am quite sure my mouth was hanging open and I was unable to talk for a few minutes.  It was a gift from a mutual friend of mine and Miss Me’s, who for whatever reason,  decided to give me a gift that is pretty awesome. I am very thankful and have since used up all of my bandwidth at Flickr within about three days.

This same friend often listens to me bicker and whine when things don’t go quite my way, which is awfully nice of her. She’s also very brutally honest, so she generally tells me to STFU and get over myself, which in most cases, is exactly what I need to do. So, thanks for that too. (more…)

Relax

Oh, what a great weekend it was. I got to actually relax for once. I even got to spend some time with my nieces and nephews, who are, at times, just a great bunch of kids, but of course, they are sometimes a pain in the butt too. :) Generally speaking they are all pretty good though.

Of course, we had Valentine’s Day this weekend, so I hope it went well for everyone. Mine was enjoyable, I got to spend some time chatting with the most amazing woman in my life, Meagan. See my previous post, “Waking From The Dream” to get a better idea of just how great she is! We’re a very long distance relationship, well, multiple states away, which is less than countries, I suppose, but still. Anyway, So I was thrilled to have time with her and enjoyed the time and conversation we had together very much. (more…)

Waking From The Dream

I’ve dreamed of finding a woman who I felt understands me; in a way fills in the voids I have felt in my life, encourages me to be better, yet loves me for who I am, and is patient with me as I stumble. A woman who brightens my day just by being in my life, makes me smile and laugh with delight at the simple thought of her. A woman who brings a bit of magic into my heart, a tingle that ignites a spark, where every day is a good one.

A woman who will stick with me through the ups and the downs, smile at me as I frown, turning me all around, making me think anew. Laughter fills my soul, I cannot help but smile, a woman so amazing that the earth shakes as we collide, fostering brilliantly a cosmic array, reaching through the past and far away, a woman who calms the fears, puts aside the tears and loves me through it all.

Dear Super Bowl

Every year people get excited to watch you and I am no different. I enjoy the experience of watching two of the country’s best sports teams compete for the title, but I do not understand why it is that year after year your half time show is featuring out of date musicians. Sure, they were amazing in the past, but this years, The Who, looks around the age of 80, and granted their music is okay, I am certain someone like Beyonce or some other more modern musician could have put on a much more powerful and energizing performance than some old men who barely move on the stage and rely completely on flashing lights for their show.

Thanks.
