The above post made me smile as it brought back a fond x-mas memory. My step grandmother gives me and my siblings calendars every year for x-mas. It was Christmas 2001 And as we all know, a few months prior, tragedy shook America (remember we have been told to "never forget" so remember). I was in my second year of college which made me 19 at the time. Home for the holidays the family was gathered around the christmas tree ready to exchange gifts. The kids were presented with our gifts from grandma, each of us knowing they were just calendars. Oh, how I was wrong. My brother unwraps his and laughs at the fact that he dislikes NASCAR. My other brother unwraps his and smiles that his calendar is adorned with the San Jose Sharks NHL franchise (wow grandma got one right). My step sister takes her turn, National Parks or some shit, she seemed pleased enough. Then, my turn. All eyes direct their focus in my direction as I begin the unwrapping process (I'm not a shredder so this is a slow and meticulous process). The gift is unwrapped and there they are in all their sculpted glistening manliness...The NYFD 2002 pinup Calendar. She either thought I was extremely patriotic or liked men. Unfortunately grandma It's neither, not that there's anything wrong with that. Where did you hang it?

On the side of my fridge in my apartment. I wasn't going to let a perfectly good calendar go to waste.

Finally got a job with good hours to last me through the end of my tenure in Boise, thus leaving me with INVERITABLE MOUNTAINS OF GOLD and enough money to comfortably move to Seattle. Woop woop!

Someone caught up to me on the freeway and followed really close for a minute. I saw a flash and realized they were taking a picture of my awesome license plate.

I finished my schooling in Vancouver today, off to Victoria next week! Are you fucking kidding me? We've lived in the same city for months and I still haven't seen your rusty face! Nor will I by the sounds of it. :/

I know people say they are busy, but when I say that I truly am not joking. After working 12 hour shifts for free ( well actually paying tuition to work 12 hour shifts for free as part of my training) all week, on top of regular classes and exams, I have neither the time nor the money to do a lot other than sleep. Having said that, I intend to come back to Vancouver to work when I graduate in 6 months, and you better bet your ass you're on the top of the list of people I want to have a beer with.

In addition to the weekly Dark Side of the Moon laser show I've been fortunate enough to be receiving for awhile now, last night I got to fiddle with some color effects and give the kids (and some suspiciously old men) a psychadelic Lady Gaga experience.

Also, I'm well aware of how busy/broke you've been. The exclamation was more directed at the world, which has clearly forsaken me.

None of you give a crap, but my loan was approved today (finally), which means I do in fact take possession of a condo next week. Now I get to shop for some additional furniture (going from 1 bed / 1 bath to 2 bed / 2 bath). Shax / Megatron, how firm do you like your mattress?

Nice J-Dawg! I took a tour of an insanely awesome apartment in the most badass part of Tacoma tonight, and it's literally one street behind an Irish pub and around the corner from my favorite sandwich shop of all time. Currently filling out the application!

Posts which indicate that things are goin' golden for the Electric Cowboy are generally among my most favoritest posts of 'em all. You GET dat shit, J-Dawg. You GET it.
