Yay for 26
I guess Rod Woodson was 26 for a while too, both in age and number. But I am happy to be here and 26, which means I made it through 25. It has not snowed here this week, thank goodness. This blog just might see post No. 200 yet. Come on spring, get here soon.

So yeah...
OK, I actually have decent topics to right about this time. And more importantly, actual time and desire to do it. I'm immersed in the middle of writing back a bunch of people this week and all that happy good stuff, so there you go, time for a post.
So anyways, last night was a pretty interesting night. I went to see a play called "Godspell Junior" It has a bunch of little kids, hence the junior I guess. But a reason I also went was to see new ECCOTA director and former co-worker Scoop. Now Scoop I would consider probably one of my closest friends in town. Probably when you have nicknames for each other, that happens. She calls me vamp, I call her Scoop. We also hadn't seen each other in about 7 months. Yuk. Thanks life. So the play was good. After the play, was better. See, before I know it, I'm at the Royal with Scoop and a couple others and I'm watching a karaoke competition. Good stuff too. One of the guys I was sitting with is now in the finals of said competition. Nice.
Today will be spent trying to not be so tired (good luck) and watching Tiger and golf. Not a bad day. Wish they would start a little earlier though. But otherwise fun.
I'm also going on vacation probably around the start of August or around that area. The 2nd statewide tour sponsored by Pontiac will be even better than last year's. Greensburg is already noted as a likely site and that could be followed by a bunch of other places to visit various lady friends. All right. And then of course I end up in Kittanning. Way to cap it off in style. NOT.
OK, I need to write one more letter and collect some sanity. Later Days.

In Someone's Face
So here I am yet again. By no doubt, my fans are either tiring of my presence, or thankful that I still have a presence.
So I got yelled at on the phone today for no reason. Some guy from some corporation named ITL was upset about the paper's coverage of some lumber company's little ceremony today. I had nothing to do with this event especially since you will notice the lack of details surrounding this occasion which is only important to like a handful of people.
So the guy didn't want to yell at me, he wanted K. Well, K wasn't there. So I had to hear him rant for 5 minutes about stuff and how we're terrible and on and on. He did thank me for listening which was certainly alright of him.
Why do I delight in sharing this? Easy. At least this guy was direct in voicing his displeasure. One of my biggest personal pet peeves is people that talk behind other's backs, something that sadly happens more often than people think in the newspaper business. So, my advice. DON'T DO IT!
In other news, the weather can't decide what it wants to do. How frustrating is that. Oh, thanksgiving is next week, a fact that is puzzling many people. One fun fact was absolutely destroying "Soulja girl" and his song "Crank Dat." Now this song was used during a volleyball team's home game as the first song on their warm up track. Even then I thought the song was a tad annoying. Well, wouldn't you know it, I found out that RoboCop, Superman and lots of foul language are primarily mentioned. Oh, and those three steel drum notes that are prevalently heard throughout most of it. How fun is that.
I was happy to make a new Facebook friend. In another ironic twist, people in the SRU comm dept. (or at least this one student) decided to talk to me for a "Where are they now segment." Pretty cool for sure.
OK, that's about it for now, I suppose I should be doing more important things. Like sleeping. That would be great. Peace out. UUUUUU!

Hello Winter
Autumn used to be my favorite season of the year. Seeing different colors of the rainbow and seeing the fall foliage from outside my room window was kind of cool. Notice, I said from my room window. I never went outside exclusively to see the fall foliage because, well, I thought it was boring, a waste of time, could be doing better things like petting the cat, things like that.
Well, now in Ridgway, autumn is much shorter. It usually lasts for about 3 weeks now instead of 2-3 months. Summertime in Ridgway lasted until October. There were some snippets of fall during October and slightly into November. Of course tonight going into work, it was snowing. Bye, bye, autumn! See you next year and thanks for coming to the party for 5 minutes.
My nickname at work is now Vamp. Well, it really is to just one person who I refer to as Scoop. Scoop just celebrated her 30th birthday the other day. That's the one that got the Peanut M&M's. It also should be noted that Scoop is married, ending any pitch thoughts. Thank you. Scoop has promised to buy me a bowtie for some unknown reason. Let's see when that happens. Scoop did leave me a post-it note thanking me though. So nice of her. Scoop also notices quite a bit about me already, very interesting.
Other than that, I've just been busy finding people on MySpace and having terrible dreams. Two nights ago, I had a dream where my lovely adorable gal pal from school, Jenna was there and I saw her. In the dream, Jenna ran away when she saw me and I ended up chasing her until I woke up. When hearing about this, Jenna told me "lol Greg I would never run away from u" That's how the kids talk these days.
Last night, I had two interesting dreams. The first included me in my dad's truck trying to get away from a delusional madman with a gun shooting at me. Yikes. The second one included me in the Bonnie learning how to drive in the snow and doing a terrible job at it. I did not wreck the car though.
So now that everyone thinks I'm a giant weirdo, I'll leave it at that. Later!

Waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting. I really could be doing more constructive right now than waiting for professional sports games to end on a computer. But alas, that is exactly what I am doing right now. There's no shame in that for me.
Today was certainly an interesting day. To not give away any secrets, there is a certain friendly wager among me and one of my other co-workers about how long the meeting will be. Today we both won and lost. She won because I didn't think everyone would show up. I won because I got the closest time. Needless to say, she has a bag of Peanut M&Ms on her desk. I got 2 bags of pretzels. Oh, and Thursday's her birthday. She's 30 and is looking forward to not being a twentysomething. I suddenly feel so young again.
I'm still trying to be set up on a date by anyone that can get a chance to at work. Just fantastic. But work has been going OK so far, can't complain too much about that. I actually got some of the apartment cleaned up. It's coming along and looking better. I also recently bought Scrabble for the computer to improve my vocabulary. That certainly won't help very much but it was worth a try. R.E.M. is on the radio right now. MegaRock is my nighttime companion. That sounds so naughty.
Good times for sure. I'm excited for Thanksgiving and coming back to SRU on Nov. 29 to be a judge for senior presentations. It will be great and a good time. I've been ordered to have a good time haha. I know I will. OK, that's it for now, I'll see everyone on the flip side dawg.

It's Cold
Here's a newsflash for everyone. It's cold. I was reminded of this like three times yesterday. The funny thing? It wasn't that cold yesterday. At least in the afternoon, I thought. But it was a topical thing to talk about.
I voted on election day. No big surprise there, but at least the people that I wanted to win did, and it looks like the people that I wanted to not win, did not. Clever saying for sure.
It's been a lot of people's birthdays this week, including my dad's yesterday. Happy birthday to everyone. My dad brought home his new motorcycle, or as I like to call it "the little brother I never had." I will call him Silverback for the color. It's better than calling it "Beardy" for the owner.
Crazy that Thanksgiving will be coming up soon. I'm excited for that for sure. Who doesn't love feeling tired from turkey? Also, the cleaning process is proceeding decently. Not great. But decently.
OK, that's about it for now. Off to do something else.
