Well its christmas time. and i have been listening to christmas music on the radio while driving places the past few weeks. i read a blog titled "To Every Man a Manswer" written by Dr. Awesome. men write in with questions about manliness to Dr. Awesome and he answers them. someone recently asked him what the manliest christmas carol is. here is his respose you should read it. you'll like it. even if you aren't a man.
Last week i was in my first blizzard in a while. i miss them. i can say for sure that i wasn't in any blizzards last year. i know because everytime it snowed last year i was out shoveling it (sometimes as it was still coming down) and i didn't even own a jacket. if you can survive outside without a jacket then there is no way its a blizzard. I'm hoping for some more blizzards this year. they are fun. can't beat blizzarding
my roommates got rock band 2 this week. i am no where near the greatest at it. i just switched from hard from medium the other day. (which is a much bigger diffuculty jump than eay to medium) but sometimes the strangest thing happens when we get the the toughest part of the song, the part where everyone is in a perrty good frenzy because of how quickly the notes are coming at them. well a few times in this spot i have had to focus so much on the strumming, keeping the tempo super quick, takes the rests right, counting how many notes are wizzing past, etc that i have completely forgot about hitting the buttons with my left hand. but somehow my left had would keep pushing the right buttons at the right time.
not sure how it did it. i swear someone else must have been controlling.
maybe i am just better at rock band subconsciously than i am consciously?
e-vites, endings, and every stinkin year
a while ago was the two hour special 24 event. kind of a build up to the season. a story that happens between seasons 6 and 7. i made a facebook event about it and invited some people. it wasn't really a party, just watching tv. i invited all the guys in my house (they are always invited to watch tv with me) and a few other people that had watched 24 with us in the past. nothing serious just a "hey wanna watch 24?" kinda thing. well on facebook the event had 5 confirmed guests. me, three of my roommates, and some guy named "Lucho Espitia Useche"
he is not my friend,
in real life or facebook.
he is from columbia.
he isn't even friends with any of my friends.
from what i could tell all his friends are from columbia too.
number of friends i have in columbia: 0*
i was kind of hoping he would show up for the party but he didn't. it would have made a better story i think if he did. maybe next time i have a 24 party i will invite him. see what happens.
i drove home from my parents house on thanksgiving night, i had to work the next morning. it was that night that i realized that going to bed is one of the best things to do when you finish driving. its so nice. park the car. grab your stuff. lay down and go to bed. it ties with playing ultimate frisbee for my favorite thing to do at the end of a drive. twice this summer i came back to the cities (once from north dakota, once from south daktoa) and within 30 seconds of parking my car was playing ultimate.
not quite sure what this means. does that mean sleeping and ultimate are really similar? cause that doesn't make sense... or does it?
... nah, it doesn't
what is it with people this time of year. its like the 3 months we have without snow people completely forget what it is and how to drive on it. there are two types. type 1 must not even realize that there is such a thing as snow and keeps driving half a billion miles an hour even though you can see him sliding and slipping all over the place. type 2 sees the snow and realizes it is slippery and apparently believes there is nothing in the world more dangerous than going over one mile per hour on the snow. the other day i was on lexington (45 mph zone) pulled up behind someone at a stoplight. when it turned green the person in front of me started going (barely) and so i let my foot off the brake. i saw they were giong slow so i didn't put my foot on the gas. just let my car go the 5 mph or what ever it goes all on its own. but no... thats too fast. had to use the break again.... really. really... you have to go that slow... ugh
this time of year it seems everyone else on the road is a horrible driver. but come spring time once we have been driving on snow for about 10 months they won't be.
ok yeah most of them will still be horrible drivers. just better at snow.
*i have nothing against people in/from columbia. i just don't have any friends from there. if you are from there and want to be my friend thats fine with me.
