Hola

Yo soy Miguel.

I figured I'd recap some of the going's on around here over the past week. Don't worry, it's painless, but I have pictures!

Last weekend, Janine and I took 3 days to go to Maryland, DC, and back home in time for some local commitments. I had a good time. Driving through DC is no picnic at all, but overall the trip was worth it all.

We left pretty early Friday and headed to Aberdeen, Maryland to visit my brother. It's my first time up there and damn the boy lives very, very far away. He's basically on the Pennsylvania border and he works in DC. He drives 2 hours to and from work every day. Insane!

We got there in time for a late lunch/early dinner. Barbie made meatball subs, green beans, and corn on the cob. It was very yummy. We then hung out for a little bit and decided to watch Cars. Kaleb loves that movie, and neither Janine and I had seen it, so it was worth it. I was so happy that I got to spend some time with my nephew. He looks so much like his brother it's sad, but that's ok. Us Lewis' are handsome folk! While the movie was playing it started to snow. I don't think I've ever seen such huge snowflakes in my life. They were fist sized!

I was worried I'd be stuck there and not get to the hotel Janine and I booked in DC. Nevertheless we made it. The roads were a little slick, but thanks to my expert driving, we were completely safe. Finding my way, on the other hand, is a totally different story. There's nothing quite like getting lost in the nation's capital at 10:30 at night on a Friday, and after finding 3 of the wrong Marriotts, we finally found our destination.

The hotel was really nice, so was the staff. We had a yummy belgium waffle breakfast and were on our way to DC. I got lost again.... I took us about an hour off schedule, but we did eventually find the metro station in Vienna. I know where it is next time at least!

We did hop the metro, but with time running short, we decided to just loop around and head home. No biggie. We had to attend my other nephew's birthday party. He turned 2! The party was a lot of fun, but I was way to zonked to enjoy a lot of it. He got a lot of nice presents, though. Keeper is such a cool kid. Everytime he see's me he says "What!" I love it.

Sunday we got up and headed to Janine's mom's to watch the Super Bowl on her big high def screen. It's a beautiful thing. Wes had made a shit ton of king crab legs and we all pigged out the whole night. Congrats to the Colts for winning it all. It was kind of one sided and boring, but the commercials were semi entertaining, and so were the other guests.

I'm thinking the next mini vacation will be in Virginia Beach. At least I know the area. Jessi has also invited us to come see her new place. From what I hear, her and Sam have made quite a cozy little love nest. We'll see what happens. Janine's schedule is very prohibitive for now, but I'm hoping that's going to change realy soon! I'm so proud of her.

Valentine's Day is around the bend. This means that 2007 is trying to slip past me like the last two years did. I can't let that happen.

Last Night

I had a ball last night! Janine picked me up from work and we headed to Regency to grab some food and pick up James , who come to find out is a huge Sevendust fan and a lot of fun to hang with, more on that later. We headed to the Innsbrook Pavilion which looks really nice as far as outdoor venues go. There was your typical heavy police and security force there, and I don't blame them considering the copious amounts of alchohol that was being consumed by everybody. There was some band playing already out of Boston, but I wasn't impressed. Come to find out later the guy I was headb anging with during Sevendust was their guitarist. Soil came on next and I'm sold. I had doubts about their new lead singer, but he had a lot of energy. By the end of the set he was down in the circle moshing with the kids and hippies who paid for those tickets. As it started to get dark, Sevendust came out and blew me away again! The entire show was good. There's never a dull moment between th...

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 ...

Here's a rundown of what I've been doing over the past several days: P layed with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, pla yed with my iPo d, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, and played with my iPod. I know, I've been slacking on the blogging, I've slacked on my radio station. I suck. The station is back on the air again, so please tune in, metalheads. I'm obviously updating the blog now, so that takes care of two birds with one big, smooth, stone. New Year's came and went pretty quick. Janine and I hopped in the PT Cruiser and rode to Easton, Maryland to party with her friends. I had such a good time with them. I can see w hy Janine is so close to them. They're all so laid back and fun and genuine people. We all got pretty tipsy...
