| Alright so I guess I am going to try blogging routinely again...at someone's urging! hehe I have tried multiple times and failed, but "when in doubt try and try again." ... I think that's how that quote goes...eh, who knows. :P (look I even changed the color scheme and stuff too ;D)
So, today I had the day off. It was a really relaxing day. I slept into 11 (yea, I know...I'm a bum), then hung out with my uncle, cousin and cousin's kids (nephew and niece in-laws?). I ran around with them for awhile and played a exciting game of "jail bird" (lol well that's what I call it...basically just tag where you take them to jail when you tag them, then they escape and it starts all over again). Ha kids, a gotta love them? I like hanging around and messing around with kids...then I can let the kid inside of me come out :P Whenever a kid is shy (which most are at first), I find it as a challenge in order to get them to smile or laugh and come play a game or something so I try to be as goofy as possible haha. Needless to say one of my nephews-in-law was really shy to me at first, but that passed quickly, and by the end he was playing the game with everyone else and calling me "King Kevin" and gave me a hug when he left haha kinda cool...maybe everyone should call me King Kevin?? lol jk don't think anyone would go for that :P And plus it would probably annoy me after awhile.
Well, anyway, needless to say after running around for a hour or so with them I was tired and ready to take a nap lol. But, I didn't. Instead, I decided to go see a movie. For some reason moviefone didn't show anything except War of the Worlds playing at the theatre. I knew that was wrong so I figured I'd just go and try to catch something. Well, I got there at 2:00 and nothing was playing until 3:40 so I was just going to walk around the mall until the movie started.
Instead I ended up going to circuit city and bought like 6 or 7 movies, a magazine at some magazine stand, and ice cream from cold stone creamery (Man that place is good!).
Movies. $70. Magazine. $6. Ice Cream. $3. Some good eats and something to do for the next couple days. Priceless. There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's mastercard.
So, after all that I ended up just watching "Rainman" at home. Pretty good movie. Good Story, good acting, etc. And I have 5 other movies to watch tomorrow and over the weekend! (Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Airplane, The Transporter, and The Untouchables) Anyone see them? I dunno...I just really watching the old movies, the classics, etc. The stories of movies were alot better back then even though the special effects and stuff are better now...
Well so I watched that, then just laid around for a bit, then headed to my young adults group at church. But, alas, there was vacation bible school there so the group wasn't meeting. So I came back home, got my butt kicked at cribbage by my uncle and cousin, had greaaaaat bbq chicken and corn (my uncle is a goooood cook) and then went to play basketball at the gym.
And now I am sitting here at 2:30am having chatted and messed around on the net for the last 2.5 hours. A couple good conversations with Van and Marina, so well worth it.
And the best thing about my day...even though I just summarized it in a 1000+ words I didn't accomplish anything at all haha ... and tomorrow I get to do it all over again. I think I am going to go see "The Island" in the morning...haha, well 11...that's still morning right? :P
k...let's see...a quote to end with...
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. -Abraham Lincoln |
