Election Time Randomness

-

I have been away for quite a while. I figured I would return with a load of randomness!

  • Where have I been? On October 13th, I said "I Do", and "I Will", to the most wonderful woman alive. Janine will probably be awarded sainthood for putting up with me, but I cannot begin to express how blessed and lucky I am to have her in my life. She is truly everything that I could ever want in a life mate, partner, spouse, friend. My main goal in life is to make sure she is happy and provided for.
  • Speaking of Mrs. Lewis, Tuesday is her birthday! It is also Election Day, so we'll probably celebrate by hiding under a rock for 48 hours, enough time for this American election drama to blow over. 
  • Speaking of Election Day, something has always bothered me in the wide world of rhetoric. There is a maxim that if a person does not vote, they are not allowed to speak out about the condition of their country. Not only is that a form of bullying, that's also a form of elitism. We should be just as willing to fight for people's right to vote as their right not to vote. There are plenty ignorant and dumb people who will pull a lever and probably have just as little business decrying the condition of the world as those that do not vote.
  • Speaking of those that may not vote on Tuesday, people really should vote on Tuesday. It is our most fundamental civic duty and we only harm ourselves by not voting. Do not under appreciate the gravity of that basic right. 
  • Speaking of voting, let me just say that I will always feel that third, fourth, and fifth party votes are completely wasted. Thank you for allowing me to have that opinion.
  • Speaking of opinions, I am delighted that Janine wants some barbecue for her birthday. That will be a nice treat and I'm looking forward to seriously devouring some meat. 
  • Speaking of meat, I am on a long salad eating streak. As some may say, I may turn into a rabbit, but I can't help it. I have been on a serious vegetable kick lately and I can only account that to old age.
  • Speaking of old age, I'm sure there were a couple nice points I was going to make about this week in general, but I've already forgotten.
So that does it for me. I'll be back to posting regular opinions soon. The little free time I've had has either been spent on the yard, or working at Rootzwiki writing news posts. I'd like to think with two major holidays coming up, Thanksgiving and Christmas, I'll have nothing but time on my hands...

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 ...

Under a Spell

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...
