Many months ago, I was told that I needed to go to the mid-singles (older singles) activities because that was where I belonged. Bull crap! Who determines that?
This weekend I attended a mid-singles conference. Mainly for the food, something to do, and to meet Ken Jennings. He is a nice guy. I told him that my co-worker thought I looked like him.
Last night at the fancy dinner at the Marriott, one guy at our table asked around how many kids everyone had. Where I belong my butt.
Few things are worth doing in life. Or rather, few things we do in life will ever be remembered or even cared about in time. Work being chief among them.
In time the issues we concern ourselves with will not matter much in time. I wonder if some experiences might be looked upon as humorous. Anger being chief among them.
What can be done that will have meaning in time? Is it worth holding a grudge?
Setup my new DVD player with my flat panel. I bought the thing for a monitor at work. I changed jobs and it has been sitting at home. I tried attaching it to my laptop to watch DVD's... but it took too much CPU cycles. I then tried to attach it to my older stand alone desktop, but that over kill for a DVD player didn't work well either.
I could use a better sound system, but that's OK for now. Maybe when I move into a nicer place.
I broke out my iPod and put some pod casts on it. I was impressed by the ease of it. Now, it will be a challenge to keep new content on the little Shuffle.
Had a great time In Utah. Every day I was in Orem except the last, I ran into someone named Happy. It was cool; she's nice.
Went shooting with my brother. It was fun to pull the trigger.
Watched the new National Treasure movie. It was cool.
Just had a salad for lunch. Me, a salad! I also missed breakfast... My body is in shock from eating all those goodies to this.
I have seen a bunch of movie trailers that I would consider anti-war propaganda. Probably from the Democratic party. :) I actually like seeing protesters at work. I just wave to them because I have no power to say fight or stand down. OK, I can say it but no one will listen.
Anyway, I saw a movie trailer yesterday that, in my opinion, glamorized transporting illegal aliens into the country. Well, at least, cute little ones.... Great. Well, the movie watched with some friends was just as lame.
Like Napoleon Dynamite, I found some parts to be really funny, but overall I found Juno to be alright. It was either watching that show or watching I am Legend again. I honestly found the movie to be quite amusing. It seemed so unconscionable that I was emotionally detached from the beginning.
Now, I did see some trailers for some cool movies coming out next year. On the way out of the theater i saw the poster for the new Indiana Jones movie. They actually made it. I really hope Lucas doesn't kill this too with some Jar-Jar creature or some emotionless, gay acting/dialogue.
Last night at one of the three parties I attended, this special someone stood under the mistletoe with her arms open. I asked if she knew she was under the mistletoe. She acknowledged that she did.
So, of course, I went up to her, put my arms around her, and kissed her on the cheek. I don't think she really thought i would do it. :)
I wonder how many other parties there were and how many others went under the mistletoe. I watched a friend go under.. I think he knew but she did not until people started shouting and she hesitantly let Josh kiss her.
I'm glad I got dragged to the Colonial 2nd ward. I went last week and didn't want to hear from people that I was back again. Maybe I was just over reacting.
Last year, I had the chance to hug someone around this time, she then moved to the Virgin Islands... I have been dreading it all year that I did not hug her. she was there at Church and of course, I hugged her this year... but I stepped on her foot! D'oh!
Oh well. Got a bunch of hugs and what not. Christmas time is the best.
I have for the last few weeks or so, have refilled a bunch of water bottles to be drunk at work. I'm actually quite proud of my 33 cent funnel.
Santa came to work the other day. There was a lot of good food.
Should be a fun weekend. I kind of feel this women will back out on our "date". She said she wanted to be friends, but that's usually a lot of bull. I just asked her because too often it feels like pulling teeth to get a date.
Packed the month with many events. I still have a lot of time.... but have lots to do. For example:
Thursday night Redskin's game - watched it at Joe's sports bar.
Friday night: Phoenix Sun's game.
Saturday: Pancakes, shopping, moving boxes, short nap, party.
Sunday: Church, dinner party, ham radio tests, bed time...
Every weekend has been like this.
I logged into some old accounts today just to show some activity so my accounts don't get deleted. Why? I need a life. :) It's interesting to see what's new.
I like free stuff.
