Vacation post #2

It has been a good vacation, oh wait, it is not over yet. One more day until it is back to reality. I have done a lot in the past two weeks, which I will write about later.....I started, and I continue to maintain this site mostly as a chronicle that I can look back on to see where I was a week, month, or year ago. I did that tonight. I went back and perused the past year, and it reiterated the fact that it was a shitty year.....There were some good points (buying our first house for example), but overall I would like to extend my middle finger to most of last year........This year will be better. I know it.......I have seen all the cheesy year end wrap-ups and I don't want to do one of my own. I look forward to the new year...........More later, I have to enjoy my last late night doing whatever it is I enjoy doing. One more day until it is back to reality.........It sure is cold outside. I would love to be outside in that cold smoking a cigarette. I think I will sit next to the fire for a while longer.........

Vacation: post #1




Yes, I am on vacation. Fifteen days to be exact. No school, no work, and no stress. I like vacations, as they are few and far between.....Oh, the Christmas season. The girls had a wonderful Christmas, as the presents were to the point of excess, and the food was unlimited. The adults had a fine Christmas also, watching the children open gifts, and then being in charge of opening them. I don't know if anyone who reads this blog is familiar with the packaging they use these days or not, but let me describe the process of opening them. One must picture an unassuming Barbie doll in a seemingly plain cardboard box. Nothing to it. As one rips open the box in assumption of sliding the toy out, one encounters resistance. What could it be? Upon further investigation one comes to the realization that a labyrinth of plastic coated wire is weaved, as a fine tapestry is constructed, to ensure the safety of said doll. Upon even further inspection it is discovered that there are wires securing every accessory that accompanies that plastic toy. The ultimate truth is that after one has wrestled with twenty or so super-bread ties to free Barbie and her companion "pooping dog" (I am not exaggerating), one comes to the realization that the security that surrounds the doll is compromised by the mere cardboard that surrounds it. I can comprehend the reason for the lashings. To keep rowdy children from pilfering the contents of the retailers prized purchase, but I must ask myself: what is next titanium packaging? Will they soon install shock pads that must be deactivated after the purchase, and before one leaves the store? It is insanity. Hold on, The girls have a fresh round of toys that I must "open" for them..I will be back in an hour or so......Then there is the lead paint. It turns out the Barbie in question was recalled because the dogs poo (which is also his food), was painted with lead paint. Oh great, now we have to throw out the dogs poo and pooper-scooper that came with the toy and make the children cry. Damn Chinese. If anyone is wondering what the hell I am talking about check out the toy. Craping dog........Damn. I am quitting smoking. I have not smoked a pack of cigarettes in two days. I usually smoke a pack to a pack and a half a day. more on this later. I will post some pictures of the girls and the Christmas morning extravaganza. Later.

Reel Easy

It was a busy week. I finished the quarter at school, and i am glad that it is over. I think my GPA is still 4.0. We'll see. I haven't wrote a post in a while. I have been really busy, helping my father start a business. I have been doing the technical stuff. We have a website, and things are rolling along. I don't want to divulge to much info now, partly because that is all I have been doing lately. I will post a link to the new site, but I will through out a disclaimer: the site is under construction. reeleasycustom.com I have lots more to say, but I am tired. I will post again soon. I posted some stupid pictures bellow.....
