Blip...Blip... Blip...

Lately I have had a bunch of random things floating through my mind and life. The following is what I have been thinking about/worrying about/ or maybe just a blip through my mind.

• It is that point in the year/seasons where I am sick of snow and winter but I don't think I am quite ready to deal with the allergies that come with spring time.
• I have not even been excited for March Madness this year. Which is strange because for as many years as I can remember I have ran the pool here at work. This year someone else ran it and I am not even that excited to watch. I am blaming ESPN. Seriously I am. They started back in February "Last 4 in and First 4 out" seriously did they need to start that early?
• Of all the hunting tags in the world that I would actually draw--the one I know the least about I actually drew. In just a few weeks I will be on the mountain trying to hunt bear with my bow and arrow. I am way excited, but don't mind saying I am also a little scared.
• My blood pressure is still pretty high. The doctor gave me a prescription several weeks ago to take. Well, I didn't like the way it made me feel, so I stopped taking it. On my next visit he yelled at me. Let me tell you, having someone YOUNGER than you yell at you and tell you what to do, does not, repeat, DOES NOT lower the blood pressure. Anyway, he gave me a new prescription and it doesn't make me feel as sick.
• Last week I went out to dinner with one of my great friends from college, really he was my Little Brother in Sigma Chi. Anyway I went to dinner with Pat and his wife Camille and their twin daughters. They are BEAUTIFUL little girls. They are just over a year old and it was the first time I had met them. I know, I am a bad big brother. Anyway, I don't know how Pat and Camille can keep up with them. They do a great job at parenting and I am just in AWE of them.
• One of my pet peeves is people flinging their cigarette butts out the car window. During the day I don't notice it as much, but driving in during the darkness of the morning it is always more visible. Call me silly, but seeing red hot tobacco bouncing down the road and towards my car is not a happy moment for me. I see it several times every morning. Use your ash tray people!
• Last week my friend Melanie's nephew Jake was shot in the eye with a soft paint gun. At first the prognosis was not good for him to have his vision returned. Monday morning while talking to Melanie I told her that I had been worrying about Jake and she informed me that the doctor said he has never seen such a miraculous recovery. I know Melanie's family is very faithful and I am certain they sent many prayers in Jake's behalf.
• Thanks to the state of our economy, we have had some recent changes at work. Including the elimination of some positions. I hate seeing friends leave, and it sucks even more when it is not their choice. I have been worried about my job, the economy, and how are we ever going to get this all done?
• I have officially given up. Seriously, you all know I have struggled with the scales for many years now. Well, I just have no more will power or fight left in me. I still go to the gym 4 times a week but watching what I eat has really been difficult.
• On a lighter note (ha ha) my iTunes crashed a couple of weeks ago. I had to go back in and rebuild so many play lists. I think I was about completed, when the stupid thing crashed again. This time I thought I had lost about 3,000 songs. After a little search I was able to find them and get them loaded back into iTunes. Now is the process of building play lists again.

Well, I think I have just thrown up everything that was in my mind lately. Maybe it is now empty? Wait, was it empty before? Anyway, sorry about the ramble. Have a great day everyone!
