back from the dead

My last couple of days are a dream mixed with work, sore throat, sore nose, lots of thermaflu and many people being nice to me. I have come out of the dream and have the next couple days off, the big game is tonight, and I maybe a trip to chicago. Lots of things to look forward to. I am excited to try and take some pictures of the gloomy midwest and read. I hope to get some things done this week. feels good to be off the thermaflu.

running

my nose, I seem to have been bitten by the chill of this season. my nose is stuffy and runny, how it can do both seems like a miracle. and my brain feels swolen. been reading the psalms found a good one...128, I have been feeling happier these days.

heroes

wow has anyone seen that show? I have heard a lot about it, its amazing, I just finished about 5 episodes with jen, its the fill in for lost.

by-the-way i still havent called back the mystery newyearsevegifter, tomorrow might be safer. I am a little nervous. I dont like prettending to be interested, is that bad??? I cant stop thinking about my parents friend crazy judy. i dont want a crazy judy.

i keep burping up meatballs from my meatball sandwich, it feels like acid.

Happy New Year

I had a great night with all my friends last night. We had a unexpected visitor bring a new years gift.

my new, ahem, er friend???

This is how my conversation went with our neighbors friend, and now I guess he is my friend too...

J.-Hey are you selling your car?
Me-yes, you interseted?
J.-Yes I used to be a mechanic, and have spinal problems, can I come in your house and discuss, your life?
Me-Umm, we are kinda cleaning the house, but sure.
Jen (from the kitchen)- uhh do you want something to drink?
J.-No I just want to sit and talk about art, your family, our spritual connection, and how to draw the candle holder on your wall.
Me-ok, where to start...should we dive into my family first?
J. yes but first let me get you a box of half eaten coconut chocolate treats.
Me-thanks I love coconut.

he says next time he comes over he wants to draw...I think I will be going out for coffee.

snowy night

our last night in New Mexico, and it has been snowing since, they have closed the roads and flights are being canceled, we were lucky to get out when we did.

The man upstairs came through

2 weeks ago I started being stressed out about my trip to my parents in new mexico, 1 week ago I started losing sleep. 3 days ago I couldent think about much out. a couple hours before the trip I started almost breaking out in hives. Its seemed to be all in vain. We made all the flights we planned now I am able to calm down and hang with my fam, which is not exacly calm.

Merry Christmas

So those of you who are reading this may be reading this on your brand new Mac...if you are, you are a lucky son of a gun. Others might be reading this because they are bored, not with their famliy, bored of their family, don't like their family, don't have a family, or just are plain addicted to the internet. To all of you I hope you have a safe, and good christmas, I really hope all that I know will be happy and enjoy the season. Matt take care on your drive to NY, Jed have a good last christmas with your girlfriend. And to my family I hope I make it home. Pray the flights are open enough for us, we kinda need a christmas miracle. To the rest of you...Hi.

good morning

I have been having a couple of really good days, i would say my disechantment is at a alltime low.

The Weekend

I am back to a couple days off. last week I didnt have more than one day off in a row and I forgot how much I love the 3 days off. lets hang out world. I am free for the next 3 days.

zombies are depressing and fun

Why do I like to watch zombie movies? Is it because I still have an imagination like a boy and like to think of ways I would escape from columbus if it was surrounded by zombies. I do and I have...First the scene is set, Jen and I decide to spend the day at home watching movies...or better yet we decide to go camping for a weekend and come back in the middle of the night. As we come into town we realize something is strange, nobody is on the road. Everyone is home we think, but mostly we are so tired we dont think much about those "trivial" things and go to sleep, when we wake up our world is turned upside down.

We find out the entire state is quarentined and abandoned, sort of like New Orleans, and we dont have phone service of anykind. we need to get to an amory and the hummer dealership and stop by the apple store to loot...anyway you can imagine what happens next. if you cant I am writing a book someday. it just might be about zombies.

more work
