December Already?

-
I just figured, what the hell, let me get everyone updated before Blogger shuts down for the day.

The more I complain about time getting away from me, the faster it goes, so I'm not going to lament over losing the entire month of November. It was still a very busy month and I got a lot done. I've been driving for a week now.

I've even been Leslie a ride the past couple days, because her car is in the shop. I feel very proud now that I can help instead of just being a burden. I'm still waiting for Kelly to cash in on his free cab service late one night, haha.

Janine can rest in now in the mornings, and she's much more refreshed and happy now. I can't begin in a million years to thank her for helping me out. She's so beautiful and funny, I have to keep pinching myself that I can have someone so great for me in my life.

She's already purchased my Christmas present and it's driving me crazy! I know she hid it at her Mom's and I'm still tempted to break in and go find it. But like I told her last night, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack! I know what I'm getting her though! I really should get off my bum and go get it today, but knowing me, I'll wait for the last weekend before Christmas and go fight the crowds.

We went to her Mom's last night to watch Superman on her big TV. I don't think I could ever watch that movie on a regular television set. So far I've seen it in an IMAX theater and on a big screen LCD TV.

Why is Arby's so expensive? I mean come on, it's a fast food place, not Ruth's Chris!

Speaking of roast beef? What's all this nonsense going around on TV about Brittney Spears showing off her mommy parts? Someone send this lady some undies, please!

Ugh, anyways...

Jessi is doing well too. I haven't talked about her in a long time. She's very happy with Sam and for once I feel better knowing she's got a decent man in her life. I can't wait for the four of us to hang out. I'm still yet to meet him! Worse yet, he's still yet to meet me!

I can't wait for them to see our house. I'm still overwhelmed and happy to know that I share all this house with Janine and our 3 cats, well technically 4, I can't forget about Fred. He drops by from time to time for some food.

Things are going pretty well now. I look forward to having a fun Holiday season. I just have to keep things balanced and focused so I don't get myself too stressed out. That seems to be something I'm good at doing every year. Losing sight of enjoying this time with family and friends.

Enjoy the weekend, people!

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

The Drowning Death Spiral of Modern Political Debates

There's nothing like a tragic loss of life for people to tout their political beliefs. And it's so much easier in this social media age. As I've noted many times before though, there's a lot less discourse now and a lot more shouting and yelling. The weekend tragedy in Orlando is a sad and depressing example of this showboating. In the midst of evil and intolerance, sides have geared up to discuss the merits of gun control again. Yet I don't really hear a coherent debate. What I hear are two sides screaming about two narratives that don't mesh together at all. Picture two children arguing. One wants a video game and the other one wants to eat. The focus is in two different arenas, food and fun. On one side of the gun debate are people who are strong advocates of constitutional jurisprudence. Passing increased measures to limit a law abiding citizen access to weapons, they believe, will not solve the problem of evil that exists when a bad person obtains o

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
