At work, I work the overnight shift... usually 10pm-6am.
Today I'm working from 6am-2pm... so I'm sitting in the security office with nothing to do because the day shift guys do less than the night shift...
But I got a lot of sleep last night... my buddy Reid and his wife brought some pizza over to my apartment last night and we just chilled and had a great time...
They left kind of early (they're married... of course they left early... married people are lame... hahaha... jk), but it gave me the chance to go to bed early as well and I kind of liked it! I got good sleep and woke up at 3:30 this morning wide awake! 3:30 is usually my mid-day, so I felt like I was sleeping in! hahaha...
I chilled around the house, read some of the blogs I subscribe to... my favorite ones: Barefoot Roadtrip and Seattle Daily Photo. Both are great... every time I visit the Seattle Daily Photo, it makes me want to live in the Pacific Northwest more and more... it's the perfect place for me...
and every time I read the Barefoot Roadtrip, it makes me want to get out and do something outdoorsy! (Little plug for ya, pops! not that anyone but you and Danielle will ever read this...)
But I woke up, got a shower, read some bloggage (that sounds like a health issue... bloggage...), made some French coffee, ate some yogurt, some Honey Nut Cheerios (good for the heart, cancels out the pizza from last night!), and read a bit of 1 Peter all while Colin Hay's acoustic stuff was playing in the background... made for a great morning and a killer way to start the day!
Then I got in my car, turned my iPod to John Denver's "Late Winter/Early Spring (When Everybody Goes To Mexico)" and cruised with the windows down letting the 72 degree morning air enliven me even more! now that I'm at work, I went on a patrol and listened to Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" and now, here I sit... with my Oxford History of Ancient Egypt (described in the two posts below) and this should be a great day!
Also, a couple of personal notes:
I'm going to start trying to laugh at the things that frustrate me the most... i.e. liberals, pop music, rap/hip-hop scene, overly christianeze phrases, ignorance in the church, robotic christians, horrible leaders, women drivers, california, commercials, bad acting, people who seem like they've never opened a book or watched the news in their lives, people with no common sense, people who care nothing about anyone around them, people who do whatever they want without regard to the effect it has on everyone around them, people who make messes for others to clean up, people who rush to be the first in line for everything (unless there's limited space, like being in line for tickets, etc... then all is fair!), people not using their turn signals, people who take forever to turn like they're going to flip over if they take a corner at 5 mph, people who think they're better than everyone else, people who have to talk loudly when they're talking about something they think is cool just so other people around them will think they're awesome for talking about it, people who talk loudly on cell phones, people who think they're the most awesome people in the world, clones... (i.e. people who look like everyone else (i.e. emo kids, gangsta wannabes, the new UFC wannabes, preps, girls who think they have to reveal everything with the way they dress, etc...)), people who chew gum, chew loudly, chew with their mouth open, talk with food in their mouths, breathe heavily while eating, clutter, people who always seem to have to have something wrong with them and think that their problems are a lot worse than everyone else's, people who constantly talk about their problems, people who only have negative things to say about everything and everyone (I've noticed myself becoming a little bit like this), people who are super clingy and rely on you to build them up all the time (almost like you're their crutch and their reason for living and their source of happiness...), people who always have to spread drama and cause issues within groups, Obama supporters, the media, anti-war activists, anything that has come out of Obama's mouth, etc...
wow... that's a lot of things that frustrate me... it felt good to get it all out...
I need to start laughing at these things because I haven't been... and I've been turning into a grouchy person... and that's just not me!
second personal note:
The History Channel is really getting on my nerves!!
Ice Road Truckers, Gangland, the UFO shows, Expedition Africa and the Monster hunting show are NOT history shows!! what do they think they're doing?! that's stuff for the Discovery Channel!! let them do it!
also, they need to stop stating theories as fact without stating that they're theories or presenting other theories!
okay... my rants are done... I'm having a great day! I think I'm going to make some garlic-herb chicken with broccoli and Red Lobster biscuits tonight and see if the crew wants to play Scrabble...
