Deep Thoughts

-
It's been a while since I let the mind of Mike flow all over my blog, so let's do it!

  • I've spent most of the morning tweaking the blog, adding links, playing with the html code. What do you think? I think it looks pretty darn spiffy. As always if something just looks completely out of place, just add a comment.
  • Work is going well. I enjoy the place so much better than my last job. Now we are in the middle of construction and by next week I should have my own desk! And computer! And printer! Yay!
  • Kat is nose deep in school right now. She's going to have to take classes in the summer to complete her foundation of art so she can declare her major. 2006 is going to be a very busy year for her. She also is out looking for work since Sephora only needed her during the holidays.
  • Speaking of Kat, her birthday is coming up on the 7th. And she thinks 24 is old! pfft.
  • I just do not have a life right now!
  • Today I'm going to be catching the football games. I have a feeling they're both going to be intense matchups. I'll predict that the winners will be Carolina and Denver. I think that would be an awesome Super Bowl.
  • Jessi and her dad are clearing out her apartment. She found a roomate in Appomattox and should be all settled around the first weekend in February. Be sure to call her an Appomattox girl whenever you talk to her.
  • We need to have another Wrecking Crew gathering. We have been so scattered over the past few months! I'm thinking of having a big ass cookout and drunkfest at the Reams family cabin on the James River around the 4th of July.
  • The spring concert season is all over us! I have to save up and get In Flames tickets soon. Korn and Mudvayne will be closeby in March as is Nine Inch Nails. If anyone wants to go to these, please let me know so I can make plans!
  • Lately I'm glad I never pursued my dream to be a coal miner.
That's all for now. There just isn't all that much going on. Just sitting and enjoying the wife's laptop.

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after

Dear Topaz, Today was a very good day. It was seasonable, but a little warm for this late in September. The sun was out, and some clouds rolled in. It felt like a pretty normal day. Work went well. Of course, being Friday, people are in better spirits and with some of the senior leadership out of the office, a few extra laughs were had with my associates. The ride to work and home was fairly typical. There's still entirely too many people who would prefer to focus on other things rather than driving. It's also nice to see some people heading out of town. I always imagine they're going a happy occasion to see family or celebrate a birthday or a wedding over the weekend. The boys are doing well. Their grades are holding up. Of course, they're both grounded, for various things. Their room's still a mess. The youngest is getting used to middle school and the oldest decided he likes Green Day. Janine and I are very disappointed in this development, and we ho
