Ten Years

I received an email recently promoting my ten year high school reunion. It’s really hard to believe it’s really been that long. Seemed like our five year reunion wasn’t that long ago either.

I vividly remember my five year reunion because of one question. I breifly ran into a classmate, where we didnt have time to hold a detailed conversation, but she sincerely asked a simple question – “Are you happy?”. I was caught slightly off guard, but told her I was.

I doubt this classmate would remember our breif conversation, but it has stuck with me ever since. If I only knew one thing about you, this would be enough. Are you happy?

Be happy =)

Infamous last words…

I have the feeling that more often than anyone cares to admit, decisions are made if only because it seemed like a good idea at the time…

Radio Silence

Last weekend I moved into a house with a friend of mine here in Atlanta. It’s been great so far, but we don’t yet have cable or internet. There’s not a lot to do… I do have one of those fancy Internet phones, but you can only use one of those for so long before you start to lose it.. I’ve read a good bit, but that’s about it.

What did people do before TV and Internet? People were probably a lot smarter back then…

Signs

If you go to a restaurant where every customer inside is obesely fat, no matter how good the food is, you probably shouldn’t be eating there.

Plane Crash

Plane Crash in Phuket, Thailand. My brother was on the same flight a couple months ago – could have been the same plane.. Scary!

Lost Keys

While approaching my car after church today, I realized that I did not have my keys. My car *was* in the parking lot, so my keys couldn’t be too far away… So, I walked back inside to poke around. 15 minutes later, still no keys – but one idea left. I returned to my car where I found my keys right where I left them – car unlocked, keys in the ignition.

Brilliant, right? Well, adding insult to injury, my car battery is completely dead (obviously). Luckily, I was able to get a jump and go on my merry way, but the whole thing made me feel like a complete idiot.

My Windy City Woman of Ill Repute

About a month ago, I began receiving comments that were absurdly full of sexual innuendo to most every entry I wrote. These weren’t your run of the mill spam comments mind you – each one referenced the entry it corresponded to. These comments were submitted to about every entry I wrote for about two weeks, then stopped.

I never approved any of the comments to be shown publicly for obvious reasons (trust me on this one), but I was quite amused by the whole thing. I have my suspicions as to who the culprit was, but they vehemently deny all involvement (I’m still skeptical). The only thing I have to go on to try and identify this mystery commenter is their IP address, which traces back to Chicago. However, it’s been my experience that those things aren’t always right…. Considering I don’t know any females (I hope =P) in Chicago, I’ve reached a dead end.

Not that any of this is terribly important, I just wanted share my amusement =)

I’m not dead yet!

Haven’t been good about updating this thing. I really don’t feel creative these days. So sad.

I finally broke down and bought my first country music cd(s) in probably 15 years (the last one was Garth’s debut). One was the latest Keith Urban, and I’ll admit that it’s good, but not overwhelming. I need to listen to it more though. The other album I bought was the latest from Sugarland. That album is simply *amazing*. I really didn’t know more than three tracks off the album before buying it, but there’s only one track on the album that I don’t love. Jennifer Nettles’ voice is impressive too.

I’m quickly losing faith in Auburn’s offense. It could get ugly. Our defense is pretty good, but they keep getting thrown under the bus by our offense. In other football news, I won my first week of fantasy football. I love it.

I can’t wait until the weather cools off…. I can’t wait until the weather cools off…. I can’t wait until the weather cools off…. =)

European Heaven and Hell

As told by my cousin, who heard it from somewhere else -

Heaven is a place where all the cooks are French, the police are English, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian, and everything is organized by the Swiss.

Hell is a place where all the cooks are English, the police are German, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.

Instant Credability

A few weeks ago I went out to a bar with several guys, and a girl who was dating one of said guys. The benefits of adding one female to a group of guys are astounding. To other women, a random group of guys is an unknown commodity. But by adding a female, it lets all other women know that these guys are decent enough for other women to be around them. The guys get instant street cred inside the bar.

If you see a group of girls surrounding one guy, it’s a completely different story.

Actually, we didn’t talk to any females we didn’t already know that night… If girls think guys who go to bars just to meet women are shady… they are probably right.
