Stuff. And Things.

I hate when people suddenly stop posting on their blogs without any warning, and you start to wonder if maybe they died tragically, but you'll never find out because you typically don't know these people writing the blogs.

I didn't die. Facebook and Twitter take up a lot more time than you think. I even deleted my MySpace account, but that was only because the ratio of normal people to lecherous old dudes and skanky teenage girls was way out of whack. Anyway, after thinking about blogs and social media all day at work, my appetite for those things in my freetime started to diminish.

So what was I doing while I wasn't posting here? Some of it was spent working, obviously. I did have a nice 3 week vacation in December though. Went to Dallas for a few days and while there I got to see the Ravens hand the Cowboys their asses in a nice gift wrapped box. That was lovely :-) What was NOT lovely was seeing this freakshow in the parking lot before the game:


I also got my eyeballs fixed, so no more glasses! More importantly, no more guys at the bar starting a conversation with "I like your glasses" (lame) or "has anyone ever told you you look like Tina Fey?" Yes, LOTS of people have told me that. Not that I have a problem with Tina Fey, because she's pretty hot, but after a few thousand times of hearing that line it just gets old. The results were pretty impressive - I went from 20/400 vision before surgery to 20/15 after...because even my eyes are such perfectionists that they managed to improve on perfect.

The Ravens made it to the AFL Championship game, in case you haven't heard. I'm proud of those boys for making it so far after many pundits in the pre-season predicted a four-win season. If only we didn't keep losing to those pesky Steelers. We'll show them next year, won't we, Ray Ray?

Bringing everyone fully up to speed on my life, as if anyone honestly cares...Ravens Band has started up again already. So check us out at the St. Patrick's parade on March 15. And if you know any competent musicians, please send them my way. (Emphasis on competent). BSSC spring football starts on Sunday, so I'm looking forward to delivering a pounding to all opposing teams, courtesy of the Fighting Amish. My annual Shamrock Shake scavenger hunt has begun, and I've actually found them in two McDonald's in the Baltimore area: one on York Rd. just north of the circle, and the one inside the Wal-Mart at Port Covington. Be a pal and let me know if you see them anywhere else.

So that's my story. According to my stats, my blog certainly wasn't lonely while I was gone, what with hundreds of people visiting after searching "Blockbuster late fees" in Google. One silly post over a year ago is still #3 in Google. Seriously, go check it out if you don't believe me.

I'll post again soon. Or not. :-)
