Wasted Continuum

Happy Christmas everyone! I know I’ve been completely neglecting my blog since October, but I really have been trying to reorganize my whole life. I can say without hesitation that I am making great progress. I know that I still have a steady stream of visitors everyday to my site and I thank you. I will be getting back in to a regular schedule of blogging probably at the start of the year. I am off work until January 5th so I have plenty of time to finish reorganizing. I hope you all have a great Christmas and holiday season. You can always catch what I’m up to by either following me on twitter or checking out my Flickr. Both are good glimpses into my every day moments.

I’m finally finished going through my Christmas photos. They’re all tagged and I have uploaded the good ones to my Flickr. 37? Yes, there are only 37. A bunch of them are private. To my friends and family who still haven’t created a Flickr account, you don’t get to see the cute photos of Katelyn.

Now that I’m done with my Christmas photos, I have to go through all my San Francisco photos. There’s a lot of them.

I took quite a bit of photos last night. I picked out a few choice ones. I have a lot more I want to post up on my Flickr, but for right now, I have 17. It’s the short summary of the night.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday. I know I did. Here’s to a great 2008!

It’s finally here for those of you who have been waiting. Merry Christmas everyone. Remember what Christmas is all about, pretending all your problems don’t existing and stuffing yourself with lots of food and alcohol. Well, maybe that’s just me. Don’t forget to drink water as you consume your liquor. That’s my only advice. Also, give, give, give. Be safe everyone. I’m off to California tomorrow so there probably won’t be any posts except for twitter posts. I may have some quick posts throughout today.

Happy holidays and I will be back at the start of next year.

Apple has a new “claymation” Mac ad. Is it officially Christmas now? I still need to put up my tree.

So it’s one hour and thirteen minutes into the last day of 2006. I couldn’t say goodbye to it any quicker. It’s been a long, long year for me and I’m looking forward to the new year. I’m gonna make it a good one. As always, this is a time when we all reflect on the year passing. For me, it’s been a bit of a eventful (for better or worse) 365 days for me. Ok, not all 365 days were eventful, but quite a few were. Here are my milestones of 2006 in a semi-quasi chronological order:

• Jan – Accepted a full-time position as a web designer/developer.
• Feb 12 – Turned a year older (personally not very momentous, but it’s here by default).
• Feb 15 – My niece was born (tried to steal my birthday, but missed by a few days).
• Feb 15 (later that night) – Called up Marie to tell her the news. She, in return, tells me that she’s moving to Michigan. Awkward conversation ensues for the next two hours.
• Late Feb – Mai tells me she’s moving to San Francisco to study fashion design.
• Mar 1 – Got my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XT).
• Mar 4 – Helped Marie move out of her apartment. Had a lovely dinner with Marie and her mom.
• Mid Mar – Met the lovely Star. Watched V for Vendetta on the Ultra-Screen.
• Late Mar – Helped Mai leave for San Fran.
• Apr 7 – Drove down to KC with family.
• Jun 4 – Bought a JM Custom Strat from Guitar Center when all I went in there for were new strings.
• Jul 1 – Took first photo trek with the Canon. Star came as my photo buddy. Practice shoot with fireworks.
• Jul 4 – First real photo shoot with July 4th fireworks.
• Jul 6 – Bought my GTI.
• Jul 22 – Mai returned for her god-brother’s wedding.
• Aug 11 – Marie returns for vacation. Spend an amazing day with her. Told her how I felt at the end of the night. Everything implodes. Friendship slowly dissolves.
• Aug 25 – I fly out to SF to see Mai for her birthday. Stayed at the Hilton. Had the quickest tour of SF ever.
• Oct 6 – Watched Ben Kweller at First Ave.
• Oct 14 – Watched Shannon Curfman at Bunker’s with Ms. Linh – her first real concert.
• Mid Oct – Realized that I have a subconscious obsession with the character Rory Gilmore, not Alexis Bledel.
• Oct 21 – Watched David Sedaris at the Orpheum Theater again with Ms. Linh. She is now a fan of his.
• Oct 24 – The last time I hear anything from Ms. Marie.
• Oct 29 – Watched the Foo Fighters open for Bob Dylan at the Xcel with Ms. Linh.
• Nov 4 – The first time I listened to Mignon Fogarty’s podcast, Absolute Science. Reanimates my podcast interest.
• Nov 5 – My concert weekend streak officially ends.
• Nov 10 – Watched Roger’s band play at Half-Time Rec with Debbie.
• Nov 20 – Saw a girl at Caribou that looked exactly like Rory Gilmore who is now referred to as Ror-a-like.
• Dec 15 – Watched Shannon Curfman at Shaw’s Bar & Grill with Star – her first blues rock concert.
• Mid Dec – Saw a girl at Caribou who kind of resembled Rory. Now there may be two Ror-a-likes or this is the original Ror-a-like and she didn’t really look like Rory in the first place.
• Dec 24 – Took a photo trek to Rice Park to capture the giant Christmas tree.
• Dec 28 – Drove down to Sioux Falls to meet Mai at her family’s place.
• Dec 30 – Mai and I drive back to beautiful Minnesota to spend New Year’s here together.

Well, that’s my list. I think everyone should of made one of these lists in one fashion or another. See you all on the other side.
