Could not be more of a 1st world problem. I don’t get any point of this party
Selfie. If the only thing you post on Instagram and twitter are selfies you need a long walk off a short peer. Nobody wants to see your face in the same pose 100 times. If the only interesting thing in your life is your face at a slightly odd angle, you need to do something with your life.
Food and family always a good mix.
I expect to gain 3.3 lbs. This week. 90% of it on Thursday. Ah man. Can’t wait to just pig out and sleep. Like most Saturday afternoons for me.
It’s also the signal to setup the Christmas tree. Time to drag it out of the garage. Maybe even decorate outside also. We haven’t put any lights outside in previous years but this year I have the itch. Should I go with a massive inflatable ?
It’s getting cold now. I guess I need to start wearing chap stick and putting lotion on. I ain’t got time for that.
While listening to one of the many podcasts on my Stitcher playlist, one of the channels had a port from another podcast called the Story Corps.
The particular story really struck a chord in me. The story is told by someone in the military who has a wife in the same unit. It’s a explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) unit. In short, the husband looses his wife on a mission and he was put in a vary dark place mentally.
A friend of his wanted him to to talk a young lady who was in the service but suffered severe injuries in the conflict. Her positive take on life in spite of loosing both of her arms is amazing. She is so content with what she has and does on a daily basis really forces me to think about my daily “activities”.

From occasionally observing this outbreak, it doesn’t seem like the world is putting much effort in containing this.

On a lighter note, I expect the skins to make it deep into the playoffs. After beating the Cowboys, RGIII is coming back and we have a bye after the Vikings. Never mind the fact they are 2 and 6 so far.
The controversy is getting pretty heated regarding the Redskins name. I guess the name has been thrown around for so long, that some people have just assumed it’s part of the everyday vernacular. I would a assume, almost any term relating a color and a skin attached to it, would be inapporiate. For example, would The Washington YellowSkins or The BlackSkins be accepted. I would guess not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_%28slang%29
If the “skins” don’t change their name by the end of the season, I will find a different team to cheer for. Unless they make it to the Super Bowl, then I will give them one more season. 🙂
I found this poor guy dead this morning. I think one of my guests squished it last night when they arrived.
If you had a friend who destroyed your house just to watch some football, he probably won’t be my friend long.

I am not even sure what they are fighting for. Either way, I highly doubt this will aid in the resolution of the downed Malaysia Air.
even engineers. Some amazing material science in the little thing
