Pressure

Random Information that is meaningless but hopefully entertaining...

Well I don't have kids, I don't have any recent pics of myself that need explaining, I am not in a relationship well I'm in tons of relationships, (family, friends, coworkers, God) but I mean the guy girl ones...  Basically I don't have a lot to write about but for some reason people demand I write, so here I am.  Sure I could be in bed enjoying a nice needed slumber but I choose to write based solely on peer pressure.  I'm 25, shouldn't that have gone away by now?

That just reminded me I had a birthday...I must say that I'm not overly concerned about making a big deal about my birthday anymore but some people that I associate with (friends and family) decided to have a three day celebration of my existence...it was nice. 

I ate dinner with the family courtesy of my sister's unparalleled skillz in the kitchen (here is where I like to go on about not knowing what happened to the girl that would not step in the kitchen, but I refrain well I mean I did actually say it so maybe I didn't refrain, the point is she is a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen)  Friday night was my not-so-surprise-surprise birthday party at Circus Skate planned by Brittany.  It was a lot of fun, not many of the guys made the big event but Stevo and Noah (not my nephew Noah) made it out to the 'big show'. 

That place is a trip, It has been a childhood dream of mine to visit the Circus Skate since I was a child growing up in Southern Illinois and never being allowed to make the 'far drive to Murray' well upon living in the wonderful yet overtaxed city of Murray for going on 4 years?  maybe 3 I have finally been....

I wish I was more brave but there were no medical people on staff so I refrained from trying anything crazy on the ramps and such, and I enjoyed heartily the yelling by the owner towards the young children, and Ashley, on the PA system.  I must say that's the most gangsta slam rap I've heard in a long time as well.

The point is it was fun and an experience that will allow for many amusing conversations about the experience.

Well I think I've reached the point of being long so I'll stop the typing marathon and continue the saga of life that I lead.  As for now take care kids, and remember that signaling BEFORE the turn is critical to highway safety...

I don't usually care for forwards but I found this one to be really good so I will use my Xanga page to share it.  Enjoy!

Enjoy the Coffee...

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and
returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -
porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,
some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

After all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said,

"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it's normal for you to
want only the best for yourselves, that's the source of your problems
and stress.  Be assured that in most cases the cup itself adds no
quality to the coffee, just more expense, and in some cases it even
hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
consciously went for the best cups ... and then began eyeing each
other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee: the jobs, the money and the
position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and
contain Life. The type of cup we have does not define nor change the
quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we
fail to enjoy the coffee.

new stuff and life happenings

 

It's a Kawasaki (my first Kawasaki) ZZR 600 and we will be giving rides for $20 per half/hour in order to pay for her.  Sorry guys limited to female passengers because well taking guys is weird. 

Otherwise it looks like I am going to have a Dodge Dakota for sale in the near future in order that I can drive the more fuel efficient Toyota Camry that I have acquired.  Once she is in road worthy condition I'll be tying to squeeze some more miles out of that vehicle, it's already at 191K but I think I can get another 50-100K out of her ;)

Anymore I think I just enjoy the challenge of keeping something running more so that knowing I will get to where I would like to go.  More recently I found a 1990 Ford Ranger to get me some mileage, I just bought it as an alternative to a trailer to haul the dirt bike on but being as if it gets some mad mileage, I've just been driving it everywhere!

Here she is...



I guess that's all I have for now, I was feeling the pressure to post some stuff, one of these days I'll write something meaningful, in the meantime I hope this is enough to get some people entertained.
