This Is The Latest I've Been Up Since...

...my bachelor party. Which was actually just me and my groomsmen at the apartment playing video games and drink a bunch of Mountain Dew.

So why so late tonight. If your mind has gone to the gutter, then you should you should be ashamed. My darling, beautiful, and pregnant wife has been in bed since we got home from dinner with our friends. It takes a lot out of you when you're grow another person. What was I doing?

Me and Jen have a spare room the houses, for the most part, the extra junk that we've brought with us to our home. My musical things live in the guest room, as does Jen's crafty (and other assorted) things.  Lately, and frequently that particular room is a particular mess. I pull things out and play around while Jen adds to her assortment. Other than more space, that room was in much need of some organization. Hopefully I accomplished some of that. I basically just separated our things. Musical things here, and crafty-ish things there. Jen will most likely hate it. Oh well, I tried. In addition to cleaning, I also worked on a guitar, rearranged my pedalboard, and wrote a lullaby for my soon-to-be born baby.

Night has come, look where we are

I just want to say that I love you

1000 times brighter than a star

and so close I can hug you

Go to Sleep my baby

Go to sleep my baby

Close your eyes and sleep tight

You are in good arms tonight

Go to sleep my baby

Go to sleep my baby

Everything is gonna be alright

When  you close your eyes and sleep tonight

Not ground breaking or anything, but I want to write some simple lullabies and record them. When we find out if we are having a girl or boy I want to use our baby's name in the songs. I want them to have some unique and personal. I can't wait for this little kid of ours.

Its My Birthday!

B-Day quote, "Super-Size that jumbo mofo".

My dear wife got me a wii for my birthday. I've mentioned this before, but today we got it set up with netflix. Its pretty much awesome. You can watch movie online on your TV. We actually watched some of season 6 of King of the Hill. Its was pretty exciting. We watch a ton of movies at the Apt. This is mostly due to the fact that we don't have cable. Netflix is amazing and even more so now that we're aren't stuck watching movies on our tiny laptop. I recommend Netflix for anyone not wanting to get cable but still wanting to enjoy movies and even some TV shows. Not to mention the fact that you can receive movies by mail.

Now that the shameless plug is over. I'm a little nervous about going back to work tomorrow. I got into a little altercation with a "boss" and it may have long lived consequences. I'm not terribly worried, but the co-worker is rather unreasonable at times. Its a good thing she really doesn't have much authority over me.

My wife found these guys and I have to hand it to them. They are pretty cool.

New Beginings Are A Lot Of Work

So this is the first of many blogs I intend to write in the next season of life. I guess it would be somewhat helpful for you the reader to know a little bit about the person that is writing what you are reading. First of all let me let you know that I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ, but I have some major issues with religious cliches and nonsensical babble passed off as spiritual. I don't swallow anything before taking a good long look at it. That includes everything. I may be a tad too analytical. I am a horrible speller. Just then I tried to spell the word, "speller" with two 'E's. No matter, I spell check like a mad man but somethings still fall through the cracks.

I am starting a new blog obviously but there is something else that you don't know. I have just moved from my parents home into an apartment in the neighboring city. "Trying to gain some independence?" You may ask. Well, yes and no. You see, I'm getting married in six weeks so I have to get some type of home in order. My parents, who are loving and supportive, don't seem to have any strong feelings about my moving. This may be because they have had three other children do the same thing. I being the forth to do so, they may just be over it. My wife-to-be's parents on the other hand have been enthusiastically involved with the entire process. They, having only one child if you don't included the paraplegic-wiener-dog, have been very enthusiastic about the whole wedding/home preparation thing. I am grateful for all of it

New Beginning, New Year, New Guitar, New Kitchen appliances. Its all so new. New freedoms, New house, New Home, New Wife, New Life, I just can't take it all in. I want to take advantage of all of these thing at once, but I can't, so I jump from one to the other. All the while time flying by. I want something to make me pause and reflect. Maybe even capture the moments and the thoughts that I've had along the way. So, really this thing is for me, but I'll allow you to come/read along. Don't get to overly excited, my life can be a little humdrum for most, but maybe you can appreciate the simpleness.
