888 - 430 = Perfection

Let me tell you, I am in love with the Ferrari F430. It's really an amazing car; just perfect really. There's nothing that would keep me from buying one if I had the money. Who could explain this better than Jeremy Clarkson...



Well, there's one thing that would keep me from buying it. The new 458. Brace your jaw so it doesn't hit the floor as you watch this clip. I was not prepared, and now I have a bruise on my chin. And yes, you want to wait for the 1080p version to buffer; it's worth it.

Birthday present

I've gotten into a habit of buying myself a birthday present once a year. Last year I got my camera, this year I got a keyboard (much, much cheaper than the camera)! Just hit the place order button on Amazon, it should be here Thursday! I love getting new toys, especially the ones that present me with a challenge. I don't play the keyboard, I've never tried to play the piano, but I did play trombone...so, there's that. Haha, this should be interesting...hopefully I'm able to teach myself without too much difficulty or frustration.

From my parents, I got a real coffee grinder (a burr grinder to replace my cheap chopping style 'grinder'). Had the coffee for the first time this morning, and it was really good. Now all I need is some whole bean French vanilla and I will be set. Now that I think about it, I should have gotten that with my keyboard order on Amazon.

As for the picture for this post, here's my parents dog enjoying the Christmas day snow (yep, it snowed down there, and yes, the whole city shut down).

I'm still here

It's been a while since my last post, so I figured it's time to get back into it. I've been really busy with work, working long days and weekends. Thanks to me being salary, I only get paid for 45 hours a week. Hopefully all this work will pay off in about 6 months. There is one more hell week, then it should ease up. I'm going to try and post more, but who knows...I can't predict how much I'll post.

I started going through pictures trying to decide which picture to post here, and realized that I have 687 Christmas vacation pictures that I haven't gone through yet. Started going through those while listening to a Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg Pandora station. That's really a good time. It's been a slow progression, but editing pictures is getting more and more enjoyable. About 10% of the Christmas pictures look like they'll be good. Here's one of the Christmas tree my parents put up.

That's enough for one post, I could go off on tangents and make this one really long post. I think I'll break up my tangent thoughts into more posts. Maybe more than one post this weekend!! Shock!
