What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Ziggy]

Probably told this story before

but when I was young I asked for Yoshi's Cookie for Christmas. My mother thought I was talking about an actual food product so she went to the grocery store and inquired about it.

Classic.

A few years ago my Father in law went to New Orleans, and my Mother in law asked him to bring her back "something unique from New Orleans". He brought back a box of zatarain's jambalaya mix. That still cracks me up.

Makes me think of someone saying "My trip to San Fransisco was amazing, and I brought you back something special..Rice O Roni!".

Smile: I'll be spending at least five hours in a car today. Why does that make me happy? I won't be driving and I'm itching to finally play some new DS games (by new, I mean new to me). Also, going to a birthday party, so free food, and the menu includes ribeye steaks.

I'll be in the car, driving, for over ten hours tomorrow. The drive is for a funeral and I would drive twenty hours if I had to, and luckily I have every disc to the Star Wars Radio Drama to keep me awake.

Today = Celebrating another year of life.
Tomorrow= Honoring the loss of a life.

If that ain't life, I don't what is.

Smile:
Finally going to finish my family photo project. Grabbed a 2TB Seagate HDD and now compiling photos from 4 phones, laptop, Nikon camera, & 2 DVDS all into one external drive.

The plan is to get a secondary drive in about 6 months & always keep a backup. I want my kiddos (one now, hoping for 1 more) to have photos years from now. So many photos are lost when most folks upgrade phones.

I know, I know....the cloud. Think of my external HDD as my photo album.

: Working 9 days in a row, submitting a school assignment that I know isn't my best work but I have no more time to work on it, being exhausted... I'm ready to have a day where I can drink a bunch of Octoberfest beer and wake up at 2 PM the next day with no consequences.

It's called "Retirement".

Buddy of mine is celebrating a Birthday today, and since I'm going to a funeral and can't visit, I sent him a youtube video of me:



Yes, the camera is terrible. The singing is terrible. But fuck it, I did it with no practice, in one take, and it's completely different than the other hundreds of "Happy Birthday!" meaningless posts.

Store the secondary OUTSIDE of the house. Dont trust a firesafe with it.

My work photos are stored in two different states, but that is overkill.

Smile: I'm consulting for a company large enough that they own helicopters (and still haven't been asked if I could go on a helicopter ride). Things are going swimmingly and it has been a great synergistic relationship and I get nothing but "Atta Boys!".

Frown: I just sent a mass email to the company that was supposed to end with, "Best Regards, Luke ", but rather ended with "Best Retards, Luke ". I always proofread my email, but never my signature. Time for a change on that.

Smile: Seems like everyone got that it was a goof, and now "Best Retards" is now a thing that will stick with me for some time.

Truck is officially junk, so my parents are scrambling to try and find something I can afford payments on. I would look here, but I ran through everything available in 15 minutes of looking, there isn't anything reliable in the area, and as I have found out, my condo does not allow you to work on vehicles in the parking lot.

Mix that with my never-ending stream of school work and shitty schedule, and I'm going nuts. I might have to drop my accounting class, its only an hour a week and I'm learning jack squat in it currently.

And to top it all off, I'm going to be making multiple 2 and a half hour trips this weekend, at least four. You would think my birthday weekend would be relaxing, but nope.

Birthdays might be your worst days, but one day you'll sip champagne when you're thirstay.

While I am a Biggie fan, I'm too close to H-Town and NOLA to be using East Coast lyrics to describe my life.
