Merry Christmas

It's here, it's here, it's here.  Yup, Christmas day.  So while sugar plums were dancing, and not a something were peeping.  Santa flew all around the world and...yeah yeah yeah, whatever.  Anyway, so it's Christmas.  Remember this today, as you eat your ham, turkey, or roast beef, remember that Christmas is a celebration with family and friends and the birth of Christ.  Remember that caring is sharing, and giving is a good thing.  It's a very good feeling, that's what it is people.  So enjoy Christmas and have a wonderful New Years Y'all.

Hunt for Red October...

It's Phillies post-season folks.  What can I say, it's a wonderful time for us Phillies phans.  See what I did there.  So here we go, after coming home from a long day of car hunting.  I was able to come home and enjoy what was left of the game.  Now don't get me wrong, while searching for a vehicle, checking the phone constantly is not something that should be done when negotiating.  Yes that's right, not good...the salesman becomes more friendly, the mood is right, and we begin talking about sports.  Boo me, did a bad job negotiating today.  Anyway, me yelling at the parking lot is awful since we went down 3-0 very quickly.  Boy that was just bad, however give us a roaring 6th inning, with Howard's bat coming to life, and we are back in this bad boy...two batters later, Raul blasts one out as well...and the lead is our.  See what's nice about watching the Phillies for the last few years, we never count them out, and with our Aces running on all cylinders, and Halladay getting his composure up and running, winning was not out of the question.  So yes, good win tonight...quite wonderful really.  However, what I missed most, I wished I could have watched the game with a few beers, my Phil's gear, my extremely bad for you snacks, and of course most importantly of all, my oh so important Phillies loving friends.  Oh how I miss them.  I really miss them, they are extremely important to me.  I hope I am home to enjoy the rest of the playoffs with them.

Well nothing super exciting tonight, just watching television, and thinking I'm getting better.  But honestly, am I?  I don't know.  That's life for you.

Sometimes it still hurts. You know how it is man. It's like, you wake up every day and it hurts a little bit less, and then you wake up one day and it doesn't hurt at all. And the funny thing is, is that, this is kinda weird, but it's like, it's like you almost miss that pain. - Swingers

Enjoy the Saturday evening everybody, and enjoy the song below...been stuck in my head lately...the band is He is We.

Eagle's Sunday, and Everything in Between

Ahh...Eagles football, nothing beats it really.  Getting together with friends, watching the game on the big screen and enjoying life.  I guess that's what these lazy Sundays are for.  Vick is hurt, Eagles are not looking to jazzy, and well Dave is still screaming at the t.v., and of course I love each and every minute of it.  What can I say, football season is back, and it's a lovely thing really.

Lately my mind has been preoccupied with many things, I'm really just trying to keep myself busy and not get myself in trouble.  However, we all know I can't live like that and I have to have something going on in my life (sarcasm).  Honestly though, lets think about this.  I've finally decided, I need goals for the upcoming year.  And following in Chucky's footsteps, I think I'm going to start volunteering after work.  I just want to be able to help out more, and contribute to society.  I've been thinking, and now it's between working with animals at an animal shelter, or taking the plunge and working in a soup kitchen to help the homeless.  Both are very virtuous causes, and both would be very rewarding.  However, as much as I like serving food and helping the needy, I think I wanna be able to walk a dog, and be a foster care taker every once in a while.  So I think I've decided on the animal shelter.

A big goal I definitely want to have is meeting 5 new people, and hopefully making 3 new friends.  Yes, this goal is feasible, and yes this goal is doable.  Well to me I think it is.  I like to say that I enjoy the company of people, I like being a social butterfly and making friends.  However, I don't want to expand the circle in our group, I just want to meet nice and wholesome people.  People that I can call upon and maybe go out and get drinks with.  The way I've been seeing it, it seems like I have become a really selfish person, and I really want to help and do things for others.  Maybe working at an animal shelter will help me reach this goal.  I believe we all have to set some sort of goal, some sort of resolution, I think this will be mine.  

Lastly, I would honestly love to be able to completely learn this instrument we call the guitar.  I know there is no such thing as ever perfecting it, but I know I would love to get better at it, and to be able to play it like a pro when need be...oh and scales, I have to start learning how to do that as well.  Oh, and another thing, I wanna learn to play the uke...ukulele that is.  Yeah, that's right something different, it's only four strings...how can I fail?  Don't answer that.  

This is the year I push myself to be all that I can be, go out there and do the same everybody.  Look forward to being a better you, you deserve it.  Cause honestly, all I want to be, is a better me.  

"People try to find reasons why things aren't perfect. Fight to deny every smile they're deserving, But we can try to end this, just give me one kiss, Let me show you how, even now, things are perfect 

If you want to grow, you gotta let it go... 

You, afraid to fall. You, you know it's all...You, afraid to fall. You, you know it's all love, love"

So yeah, still bummed, still thinking, and still not drinking.  Trying to learn my lesson the first time around, glad, I can just type out my thoughts this time...it's a lot healthier, however I did drink that JW the other night, but not the whole thing, so I should be okay.  Oh and CP's turtle was planking, I thought I should add that here.  Made me smile a bit when I needed it.  Thanks little guy.

Weifest

I have the greatest friends on earth.  Just imagine this, tasty adult beverages, really epic decorations, tasty morsels, and good music and baseball.  What does all this combine give you, a really great party, that's what.  Seriously, my friends are the best.  There is no reason why I needed this party, there is no reason why this party had to happen, it just did.  And I like to thank everyone involved (we really didn't needed the crown and sash).

Oh what a day, making decrees, awesome pic...and all the champagne I could want...woo!!  Life is good.  Life is very good...today however is going to be rough moving around, I don't think it's a possible thing or progression for me...by frankly as I type this, I'm running on 2 hours of sleep...should've taken a bed or couch somewhere...floors sure do stink.  ^__^

However, I do get to watch the sunrise, and as I watch the glistening of the morning dew.  It's quite a wonderment watching all of this, and then in the background I hear the slight sound of 93.3 WMMR.  Hahaha...awesome, Chris I feel bad for you buddy.  No one deserves to work a double after a party, especially like ours.  Wow, and another surprise...seeing my boy John, a-ma-zing.  Good times, good times...or buckets really!  Night world, it has been good, very good.

Oh, this is better no?  Right guys?

The following was written at 7:25 p.m. at the Chapterhouse:

Second place…I'm pretty sure this isn't good, drinking all this coffee has got to be bad, I know the first one was just a chai tea, but still…I don't understand.  What do I have to do in life that I'm not doing right now?  I just wanna be a good person.  Isn't that what we're suppose to be?  So this is where this is leading too…relationships.  This has not been a very good week for some, and awesome for others.  It's crazy how life can be.  I wanna start with my brother.  Oh fiddlesticks…gotta run for now…not forever.  A short brb.  

The following is being continued...NOW!:

So I lied, it wasn't a short brb.  I had to find Jillian, and then it was decided it was time to get dinner.  I wanted to write something on relationships and all that good jazz, but I think that I'll do it at a different time.  For now I'll just talk about the exciting aspects of what I call South Street.  

So last night was quite interesting.  Our first stop was the Wine and Spirit store on South, epic...bottle of Pinot Grigio, store was quite nice, a nice older gentleman was at the cash register, and the store was lit very nicely.  Layout was okay, had a hard time finding Pinot, but all in all good experience  Our next stop dinner.

So we decided on sushi, I only know of one sushi shop on South, the Maki House, honestly it was just a convenient place, however it turned out to be very comfy.  Also the fact that the Phils game was one, "AWESOME!"  So we ordered about 5 rolls, and you know what...for what it was, it wasn't that bad.  By all means it wasn't super fantastic.  But quite lovely when you have lovely company.  Here's where the fun really begins, I really didn't think a bottle of Pinot would get her quite amped as it did, however it totally was awesome, and I'm not going to lie, it was epic.  So we're watching the Phillies game, and you know what's hilarious, a fantastic person screaming and yelling at a t.v. screen filled with Phillies stinking.  It's awesome, because Jillian was literally screaming in the restaurant full of people...which is EPIC!  Hahaha...gosh, just thinking about it, it's still funny in my head.  I think I'm going to remember this night for a while.  

So after our epic adventure at the sushi place, we scurried along to Jon's on South, we decided a bar was a really good idea.  You know, finish watching the game and all...and you know what, it was.  Hahaha, strawberry margaritas...nice.   So we had to sit next to a douche who didn't even know sports.  Doode, you think if you're going to bad mouth a team you would have one...you don't even have a f*cking team, so "SHUT YOUR HOLE!!!"  Anyway, after our little downer section, we left Jon's and headed to our next destination.

After our little taxi ride, we finally arrived to McGillans.  Wow what a rocking place...you know it's good when people are dancing to "Dog Days are Over."  It was quite nice really, good drink selection, and though it looks like a dive, it kinda wasn't it was just sweet.  A kind of place...hmm...hipster like?  Possibly, not really, however I think the simple fact that I saw a man do the N'SYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" dance was worth it all.  Hahahaha...fantastic.  Jillian has really fantastic friends, I like to say that now.  So very sweet.  ^___^

I really like to thank her, for a great evening, I needed this night...thanks Jillian.
