Weddings, Taxes and Razors.

Let me start off by saying that I know it has been some time since I have last blogged, and it is well known the reason behind not blogging. That would be the My-Space Evil Empire and I apologize. But what is done is done. And we all need to move on or some how find a way to co-exist. Anyways... Here are my thoughts on a few things that have happened to me, almost passed me by, and cut me.

It is no big secret that I am smart, however it is a secret that I am smart. Let me explain:) I have had a realization over the past weekend. I am literally growing up before my very own eyes. It is quite amazing. I fisrt noticed it while I attended a good friends wedding last weekend. The wedding showed me that I am nowhere near that, that being having even a date. It did however, spark my first serious thought about weddings and marriage since last time I saw Wedding Crashers. That is when I knew I was growing up before my very own eyes. No longer did I think that this was something to put off and put off, it was something I needed to do, and do quick or there could be serious consequences. I of course am talking about filing my taxes here, for I learned this week that it is so much smarter to file your taxes in February, rather then April 15th with 6 million other people, especially when you are getting a fat return. And, yes I learned this the hard way, but I still did learn something and that is all part of growing up in front of your own eyes. I know now that it is sometimes better to do things the right way so that it does not come back and burn you later. I am talking about shaving now, of course, for I have finally learned the correct way to shave with out your neck catching on fire and looking like you tried to hang your self with an extension cord. The secret is to use the new Gillette Fusion. It has five razors, all designed and created for comfort. And a sixth one.... but I am not sure what that one is for yet it still is the best thing that has happened to my face since Snow White kissed my cheek at Disney World(last may). It makes growing up in front of your own eyes easier to look at too. It also shows that it is just so important to pick out something that will bring a smile to your face and work well with you, and help you better your self. And of course I am talking about marriage and weddings again:) So it is these three life changing things that are not only easily interchangeable but life shaping as well. The three of them have taught me more in one weekend then I have learned in 28 years of watching Monty Python's Meaning of Life. I know I am the better for making these connections, hopefully you are two. Now, you go and find your own connections in life's everyday journey. Just watch out for Until next time.

Blogs-on-Demand

Let me start by saying that this is weird. I haven't done this in so long it might take me 15 sentences or so to write something that is worth reading. So, for that matter, I will talk about what I have been up to for the first 12 sentences. I have been getting older. I don't mean just 28 days older, which is how long it has been since I have written a blog. I also don't want you to confuse my growing older with me growing wiser, for unfortunately that is not has not been the case either. I have however treated my body so badly that it(my body) has teamed up with, most likely with my mom, to nearly disable me and make me feel old and decrepit.(Ok, I apologize to the seriously old and decrepit, but I also know that if you are seriously old and decrepit you are not on computers.) Ok, so I have attempted over the past couple of months to do things I have done my whole life, which are listed here in no particular order... stupid. I am athletic(kind of)always up for a game of basketball or video games, I did however have a notion that I was also a great football player, even though I never played it. So what do I do? ok ok ok I am way past 15 sentences, and you don't care, so on to more stuff...

I want to share with you my new hobby. Tivo and On-Demand television. I shell out 8 extra single each month to have this technology pumped right into my room. YES, a clicker's reach away from my bed, and computer chair. And it is sad(what isn't when you really know me) but that is where I spend every waking hour. I have watched entire seasons of shows that I do not even care about just because I can. I have watched every series on HBO and Showtime, all while keeping up with Lost, 24, Amazing Race, Deadliest Catch, Pimp My Truck, Greys Anatomy, Boston Legal, OC and Sponge Bob Square Pants. It is really amazing(read: sad). I have sat in this room so long staring at the TV I am starting to look very pale and my eyes are falling to the back of my head. It is really amazing(read: exaggerated). This weekend I was informed about a channel that I did not know existed. Exercise-on-Demand. Channel 980 or something. The thing is you can bring up Pilates, Yoga, Stretching, Abs, Running, Meditation classes at any time. Now, I really don't ever have to leave my room but to eat and go to work. It is really amazing(read:amazing). Well, it was amazing till I just attempted a level two Abs class taught by a Nazi with steel abs. I am now forced to write this blog laying on the floor, because my abdominals hurt so bad I can not get myself off the floor. It is really quite amazing(read: "I need help!") So, I think tomorrow I am going to try something that sounds easier like this one I saw on there, "Breathing made Easy". But the whole, Tivo and On-Demand stuff is pretty cool, I just wish I could better limit myself to how much TV I watch a night, because it has gotten out of control lately. But hey that is my life's weakness, not knowing how to or when to stop doing things that are bad for me. Like right now it is 230 and I should be asleep, but I just can't seem to stop and go to bed. It is really amazing(read: no it is't). So on that note I will show a bit of control and go to bed before it gets much later. First, I got to watch a show though! Until next time.
