The Unknown

Everything happens for a reason. I didn't make it on my trip this past 4 day weekend. I did have a wonderful weekend though. Friday hung out with work friends. Saturday I hung out with friends and met someone new. Sunday went to a Cardinals game with Ed then showme's and so on. Monday I went walking with RD and celebrated a friend's birthday at the Barrel Head. I am pretty stoked. This is probably the best weekend that I have had in a long time. I feel like I am living again instead of just going through the motions. If that makes sense cool, if not, well it does for me.

I'm half the man I once was

Me 7 years ago would have hopped in my car and made the trip by myself. I'm almost mad at myself because I didn't go. I rationalized it to myself saying that it would be better for me to just stay in Springfield and try it another time. When will I get another time though? That is what I wonder.

I'm getting older and I feel it happening. I don't want it to happen. I'm at a good age. I wish I could just halt it right here. I don't feel that I'm going downhill or anything I just feel like a plateau is being reached. I will be 26 in just a little over a week. June 5th.

I went to a HV co-worker's party last night. Had a good time.

Today went to Darcy's with a buddy. I tried the veggie horseshoe. It was very tastey. It wasn't as scrumptious as a bacon cheeseburger horseshoe with american fries from Suzie Q's but it was good in its own right.

My parents left for the weekend. A few friends are out of town for a wedding for the weekend. Other friends are out of town too.

BUT E &A are in town and now I am going to the Cardinals vs Nationals game tomorrow down in Saint Louis. I know I know... I am a Chicago Cubs fan but how can a pass the opportunity to go to a major league game and enjoy the atmosphere, sights, and beverages. I love baseball as a whole. Seeing as how my weekend is completely freed up I had no reservations about saying yes.

I got some more DVD's.... I know I'm on a kick right now.

Clerks. X: The tenth aniversary edition
Mallrats (10th Anniversary Extended Edition)
The Frighteners (Director's Cut)
The Blues Brothers (Widescreen 25th Anniversary Edition)

I also preordered :

Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition (Superman - The Movie / Superman II / Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut / Superman III / Superman IV - The Quest ... Superman Returns) (2007 Corrected Edition)

This actually came out a while back, like in the fall. That edition had problems with it like they left things out of it and it wasn't as complete as they claimed it to be. So I waited patiently for them to reissue the corrected version with all the bells and whistles and now it is finally available for order!

She's so high

Hello folks! How's life? Things are pretty good here. Working quite a bit. It's summer... well, almost. I have had sometime off recently from the night job and I have been taking it easy when I am not at work. Went to Chicago 2 weeks ago to volunteer at the Lakefront March of Dimes WalkAmerica. That was tons of fun. I might be taking a big road trip over Memorial Day weekend. Do I see mountains in my near future? Quite possibly.


I recently purchased some pretty awesome DVDs.
Elektra - Two Disc Director's Cut
Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut Two Disc
Constantine - Two Disc Deluxe Edition
Gladiator - Three Disc Extended Edition
Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - Four Disc Extended Edition
King Kong - Three Disc Deluxe Extended Edition
Kingdom Of Heaven - Four Disc Director's Cut
Sin City - Recut, Extended, and Unrated Deluxe Two-Disc Set
Spider-Man 2.1- Two Disc Extended Cut

I saw Spider-Man 3 at the midnight showing when it came out. I liked it alot. Good action and Great special effects. I don't know if I can claim i to be better than the first 2 but it is certainly worth going to see on the big screen.

Last night I almost went to see a 10pm early showing of Shrek The Third but that ended up not happening. Although Monday night might be a possibility.

Last weekend G and I had a garage sale. I sold my world famous Carmels and Chocolate Chip Cookies along with cans of soda and I think I sold a DVD or 2 but I made about 70 bucks. That is not taking out how much I put in but I sure as heck didn't spend 70 bucks on ingredients. I would call it a success.

I've had complaints that I don't blog anymore. I do what I can but either I'm busy or I don't have access to a computer. Have patience. I will blog when I get the chance or have something to say. I still have a cell phone and you can call and leave a message on there and I will try to get back to you.
