Shooting

Today I went with my friends Scott and Tyler and we shot an old tv to bits. I should have snapped a few more pictures when we were done, 'cause we took a .22 rifle and a 9mm handgun to it quite a few times. Also we found Cheap Trick's Greatest Hits and I put a few holes in it from 100 feet back. It's been a good six years since I've shot a gun, good to know I've still got it. It was about 29 degrees F outside, and I didn't bundle up quite enough. After about a half hour my hands were pretty numb, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold the 9mm. The mud was frozen solid so that was nice. Tyler still managed to get all dirty though. Looked like he'd been standing in diarrhea or something.

I got home and my wife had a fever of 101.6, that soon went up to 102.8 and got us really worried. It's really cold outside today, so I bundled her up and we sat outside on the porch for a few minutes which really helped. I said a few silent prayers, and last I checked on her it was down to 101.2 which is a relief. Hopefully she'll get feeling better.

Busy Busy Busy

I haven't had a whole lot of time this week for anything but homework. Yes, I have gotten behind on some of my tv shows (gasp!), haven't played my guitar in weeks, haven't been able to read my book I'm currently reading, or continue writing the book I'm currently writing. I've been working working working on homework, and the sad thing is, I don't think it's even going to pay off. I spend so much time reading, taking notes, reviewing, but in the end nothing sticks and I've got three tests next week. We'll see what happens. My gnomes are all staring at me. I guess I should name the newest addition. The majority on my facebook poll said his name should be Gene, the rest said Carl, and no one voted for Kyle. It's my gnome, and his name is Kyle. So ha. Suck it, bookface.

New Gnome addition

Huzzah! my wonderful wife got me another gnome for my birthday! Right now on facebook the discussion is not heating up about what his name should be, and names are not "bouncing around the internet like a beach ball at a Nickleback concert"! The options are Kyle, Carl, and Gene. If you exsist and are reading this, feel free to add your thoughts. Otherwise, continue to be a nothing that is not reading, has no thoughts, and no opposable thumbs.

My Birthday!

So today is my birthday. My first "happy birthday wish" was from the Jimmy Eat World members forum. I think it was sent exactly at midnight. It was an automated message. As thrilled as I was, if you're going to send birthday greetings, they should be somewhat personal otherwise you might as well send me a message every day wishing me the best and I'll just delete it. But, since technically it was my birthday, I was kind enough to let it sit in my inbox (after removing it from junk mail).

Right now I'm at school considering my options for what homework to start on first. Turns out that the world keeps turning and deadlines don't change for you when it's your birthday. It's a day like any other where you do laundry and homework and fight with the stupid access point in the business building to stay connected to internet for more than one !@#$!%@#^W# minute.

Blogging?

I haven't blogged in a long time. Truth is, I don't know if anyone is going to read this. But I think I'm going to take a shot at this blog stuff again. Back in high school I did it, and had to beg people to read about my silly little life. Now, I guess I'll just do it 'cause it's therapeutic. So I'll see what I can blog about.
