Is it over yet????

Usually when I write these blogs, I play some sort of music in the background. It could range from Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins to Zepellin...to even the Eagles. It just depends on what kind of mood I am in. Tonight, I have two little girls playing Rock Band in the background. I'm pretty sure they just did "The Joker," by The Steve Miller Band. Emmamonster is on vocals and she keeps saying Morris instead of Maurice......I've also heard Blondie's "One way or another" sixteen times. My ears are bleeding.

I lost my wallet over Christmas. There is nothing more excruciating than going thru your own garbage looking for your wallet. I got up first thing this morning and called the DMV to order a new license....called my bank to cancel my cards, and was worried sick about the loss of both my UTC ID and my Social Security Card...oh, and the $120 that was inside it.....To ensure the safety of everyone around me, after the search was called off, I went to bed. It was 824pm

Bonnie smacked me on top of the head this morning to tell me that my Nana had my wallet and for me to drive my butt to Cleveland and get the loot. It was the happiest Ive ever been to see those ridiculous Fireworks stores as you enter Clevegas. My sweet Nana had it the whole time. Unfortunately, when I called her last night, she was unable to find it. 12 hours later and I was awash in goodness. So, who wants to buy an ID of a 34 year old man???? I don't think I have any underage folks out there, so I have an extra.

Ok...my kid is butchering Linkin Park now....ouch. "What I've Done" has never been so bad. The cool thing is that they are having a ball and that makes up for the tone deafness drowning out all sound in my home.

I got to hook up with an old...dear friend Christmas Eve. Everyone has that friend that you have known since you were crapping your diapers, right? Well, Justin is that guy. I have always looked up to him. He was the coolest cat I have ever met, and still is. I have never been around anyone that just.....bleeds personality. Growing up, he was always dating one hottie after another and is still the only person on earth that can make me spew beverage out my nose from laughing. We had a falling out years ago and officially kissed and hugged...no really, we kissed and hugged and made up. That made my Christmas worthwile.

I had two good cries this past week as well. Man, you feel so much better after snotting all over yourself. Those that know me can probably guess what made me boo hoo, but I think if everyone had a good cry now and again, they would probably be better off.

Oh...they are playing "Beat It" by MJ now.....I think Im going to stroke out at any point. Now, I understand why my parents barricaded themselves in their bedroom whenever I had friends over. Of course, instead of playing Rock Band, I was actually playing my record player, yes, I'm that old to have had a stereo with a record player. My mom actually whipped my butt for playing Poison's, "Talk Dirty to Me" in the 7th grade. "Down in the basement, lock the cellar door, and baby....talk dirty to me" What was her problem, she listened to Elvis.

Some quick notables......My cousin whipped me again in Fantasy Football..and I hate his guts. I'm going to burn his house down. Gas or Kerosene????

My sister has cut all her hair off for Locks for Love...I think that is pretty cool. Steph has always it seems to had long hair, so to cut it all off was definetely an act of selflessness.

I got both underwear...and more pajama pants from my Nana. I assume she thinks I throw out my panties after every use. I dunno, I have more undies than channels on my TV...so that is about 400. If anyone is an XXL and needs some boxers, let me know.

School starts back next Monday, and I am going to take 20 hours....yeah...that's right. I'm an idiot. My ego starts thinking that I'm Einstein and that I will breeze through it. The early betting is that I drop two classes within two weeks....but I'm going to hold out as long as I can. We shall see.

In closing, it was great to see old friends and family...both related and not related...(Shout out to my second mom) I can only hope that everyone had the opportunity to get caught up with loved ones. Right now, I am being summoned. I have waited all night to be able to make Don Henley look silly with my bangin version of "Hotel California." Clay has left the building. Happy New Year!!!
