30 on the 30th

So, today I turned 30. Woopty-doo. I've never been one to care about my age. I never thought 30 would be a big deal to me like it is to others. And it's not. Honestly, I don't feel 30. I feel like I'm right around 23. All the benefits of being over 21, and mature enough to know when I need to be responsible. But, I don't feel 30. I guess I'm young at heart or something. While I've always been mature for my age, I've never felt my age. And, my life is just about where it should be for 30. I've got nothing to really complain about... except maybe my health as I am under the weather. The sore throat and snuffiness is gone, but I'm dealing with the deep cough that sounds 1000x worse than it really is.

What am I doing to celebrate? A show. But it's over by 9pm and the cast party is tonight. So that's sorta like it'll be for me. I can pretend at anyway.

Danke

I just wanted to publicly thank Eddie C. for introducing me to Something Positive. Today's (er... yesterday's) comic has me in stitches and they usually do that to me. So, thank you Eddie, *you big gay boy, for introducing me to Something Positive. While, I don't really get into most of the web comics you constantly barrage me with, I truly enjoy the hell out of that one. Plus, PeeJee is so dreamy.

By the way, I'm extremely busy right now. You, dear reader, should be happy I had time for this post. Mostly, it's work and the show taking up all my time. I do get a few meals and bathroom breaks in. Otherwise, it's work, show, sleep, repeat. Soon, I hope to share my feelings on Christmas this year. Stay Tuned for: Black and Blue Xmas Balls or Jesus was born in May...

*Eddie's not really gay, we just like to rag on each other... ALOT.

Caffeine Free Mountain Dew

Really? What's the point? Don't we drink the Dew FOR the caffeine? My wife has been trying to kick caffeine out of her life. Kudos to her. She buys caffeine free Coke, etc. I prefer the Diet variety of soft drinks. No sugar, no calories, no taste, lotsa caffeine. That's what I want. We can't keep soda in the house because we each have our own separate needs (read: wants). Caffeine free for the wife, Diet for me, and something the kid will drink. We have to buy like nine 2 liters every time we shop; that's 3 per person. Thank goodness for soda pop sales like 5 for $10.

The summarize: Caffeine Free Mountain Dew is a bigger oxymoron than Microsoft Works.

B is for Busy

Monday - Friday.
Sweeps. Work keeps me uber-busy during November. Right after work, I drive home to change, maybe eat, and haul to rehersal.
Home for 11p. There's general cleaning to do. Where do you fit family in? Check emails. Wind down with video game. Stay up entirely too late because the damn game is too addicting.
Friday Night. First night off during the week. Enjoy family time by eating a meal together. Catch up on TV missed during the week.

Saturday. Sleep because I don't get to bed during the week until 1am usually. Also, good for cleaning that didn't get done during the week. Laundry. Make candles. Generally, a trip to the library with the kid. Maybe squeeze in the first (and last) home-cooked meal of the week (Note to mother: No, I'm not eating fast food every meal. Mostly prepackaged stuff).

Sunday. Best day of the week. Church. Football. Finish candlemaking. Reherse. Hope laundry got done.

Repeat until Jan 2nd.

So, when do I have time to post? I don't know. At the moment, apparently. Stay tuned. I'm kicking a new blog idea around. A chonicle of weight loss. It's just a thought at the moment...

F/911 and Oscar

Just a quick thought: Now that Bush has been re-elected, how more likely is it that Fahrenheit 9/11 will win an Oscar for Best Picture? Think about it for a second. Who votes for the Oscars? A left-leaning Hollywood... The Sean Penn's and Susan Surrandon's. Of course, Gov. Terminator gets a vote too, so who really knows if Hollywood's biggest prize could turn into one big protest vote? Just total speculation from me, but the theory is sound. Right now the field is said to be pretty wide open, with F/911 and Mel Gibson's "Passion" leading the field.

If you though Michael Moore's last Oscar acceptance speech left a bad taste, imagine his next one... especially if it was for Best Picture and not just Best Documentary.

Just a little morsel of thought to chew on.
