got the word... as unofficial it is
checked ebgames today... and they're telling me that i'm about 15th or so on the list. what list you ask... the list of pre-ordered xbox 360's that they've yet to have in stock. i'll save you from the details of this mess... but anyway... in maybe less than a month i'll actually be playing some 360, and while i'm at it i'll make this green box over here-----> have some relevance!! seeya 'round
many a reason
yeah, there's a few reasons for my absence of late... the most prominent being the holidays! i had a good christmas and am looking forward to a great new year. it was an interesting and (vicariously at times) trying christmas for me and emily. over all things went well and we enjoyed spending quality time with family and friends- that's what life is all about; not presents and gift receipts and keeping up with the jones'.
also adding to my lack of updates has been the pesky hard drive on the computer. it's been replaced (today actually) and hopefully this ol' girl can act more like the reliable computer it's supposed to be. the drive was on its way out for sure, and i'm so sure it was gonna come at a complete ly inconvenient time... each day when we powered on the cpu we received a message that stated, "1720 hard drive detects imminent failure". now if that's not enough of a kick in the rear end then i don't know what is. so, needless to say, we thought about it and just decided to buy a new hard drive... which i installed today (everyone hold their breath on that one!) thus postponing our plans for a new laptop even more. it just doesn't make sense to fix now only to replace in a month... so we'll just wait a bit longer 'til we make the leap to Mac!
also standing in my way as of late has been a pet project of mine that i started on my "vacation time". basically, i renamed (re-tagged) all 9,300 of our mp3 files!! it sounds worse than it really was... see i'm a fanatic about organization with music files-- i like to have each file embedded with the correct song title/ album/ artist/ track #/ genre/ year, information. ya see, it's just one of those things...! so, with a little help from a program called "musicmonkey" i retagged all nearly 10,000 of our music files... it took about 10 days of putting in a few hours or more each day... but hey whats a greenskeeper to do when he's off for the winter!?! needless to say, the "renaming" has taken me from most of my usual web based cyber-routine... which included blogging.
so... hopefully this hard-drive will do the trick... and the mp3's won't pose a problem now unless i let the new additions get away from me... and new years day is only 3 days away, so once that passes we'll all be a bit more settled. yes, more time for work, more time for play, and yes... even more time for blogging!
peace
happy 2006 y'all!

Let it snow, let it sleet, let it freezing rain...
winter's here y'all, and i'm loving it! the holidays just wouldn't be the same without snow and just all around winter goodness. yeah it's cold, yeah it's hazardous at times, but come on it's perfect... and i also get much needed time off from work. yep, no more working 6 or 7 days a week for 12 hours a day, no more getting up at the butt crack of dawn (4:30am), and no more swealtering hot summer sun and humidity! yes, it's safe and accurate to say that i am extremely amped for winter. bring it, full force, with all ya got "old man", i'm ready! now just as long as everyone has a safe time navigating the myriad of sidewalks, roadways, parking lots, staircases, and unkempt pathways within our world, then i'll reserve complete serenity and bombast!
let it snow! peace

Keegan
Here's Keegan, our 6 month old tiger cat... Cool cat, cool cat!
He's a pretty interesting guy... he loves to play (as all cats do), keeps us up most nights, loves to watch "this old house", doesn't talk/ meow at all, falls off the foot stool when sleeping on it, isn't really picky about his food, greets us at the door when we come in, doesn't like cinnamon, loves snow...
... i could go on for a while, but you get the point- he's a cool cat!!
