Not getting in the Holiday spirit
It is strange. I don't really have anything to grumble or complain about. Everything in my life is going fine.
Yet I just don't seem to get that Christmas spirit. I am not really grumpy like the scrooge, but I am not joyful either. I seem to be in a limbo like ehh... state of mind. Almost like it does not really matter to me if Christmas comes or not. We have not even put up a Christmas tree this year and that doesn't even phase me. This blah feeling has spread though more and more of my life and is starting to bother me. I like being happy and grinning like a fool all the time, but I just don't seem to find the motivation I used to have.
I have heard that men have a monthly cycle, but unlike a woman's a man's is entirely emotional. Maybe it is true and I am going through something like that. Or maybe I just need a special someone in my life.
I am probably one of the lucky few who get along fine with all the relatives that I have and I look forward to holidays where I can go up north and visit the grandfolks. I usually go with my parents as my navigation skills are so terrible there is no telling what state I would end up in. Of course this year my parents said that they are heading north around Christmas/New Years time. This does not really help with scheduling days off as that is like 2 weeks. I'll work something out.
I finally got my car back from being repaired yesterday. It looks fantastic and drives like new. They even washed the car real good (something which I had been meaning to do for some time now). In celibration of my mobility I went out and finished my Christmas shopping. So time to wrap everything in 2 days.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Nothing much in mind.
So much for posting regularily.
I guess that I see my life as being so boring that there is nothing worth posting about.
My car is still in the repair shop, they initially said it was going to be done middle of last week.
Last week my little sister stopped by the house to visit. I don't get to see her much as it is and she and her husband are moving out to Colorado soon. I wish them well.
Spent last week on vacation, but with no car I was not able to get out and do anything. I wanted to go and see a couple of movies; King Kong and the Narnia movie. Missed seeing King Kong with my old friends from the library I used to work at because I was feeling sick on Sunday. Some Zicam and extra sleep and I am feeling much better. I definitely want to see the Narnia movie in the theater. Maybe this Friday as my game group is not getting together.
Should finish my Christmas shopping soon, will see if I can borrow the car tonight to get it done. Then I can relax more as there will be one less thing in the back of my mind.
Been playing a beta MMORPG lately and it has been eating up most of my spare time, the rest has been used on watching a few television shows and completely redeading my hair.
My dreads were looking real awful as I had neglected them for about 2 months and they developed kinks, loops, and real loose sections. After spending many, many hours redreading they look pretty sweet now. I put some real small rubber bands near the roots and at the very ends to help them stay dreaded better. I washed the front ones already and they go all poofy and soft, but they held together pretty well. I will see how long it takes until the front needs to be redreaded again. I am guessing another two washings and the front will need to be tightened, so I might be able to do it about once a month. If I do a couple dreads a day it would be pretty easy to maintain. Of course I said it wouldn't be too hard to post to this blog every day either.

More car crunching action
Hi again. I won't even bother with posting more excuses on why I have not updated this blog. Frankly most of them would not be true.
My brother ended up getting double tapped in the side of his car which ended up being totalled. That is 4 car crashes within a month for my family. Oy!
So I told you about the fenderbender in was in a while ago. Well I did not get around to taking it in to the autobody place. Then last Thursday it was snowing and the roads were super slippery and I ended up slipping into the curb with my front passengers side tire. I hit pretty hard as the wheel got shoved back into the rear of the wheel well, so now I have no car and they are working on fixing it.
It is a bummer, but at least noone was hurt.
