Yeah, I know. It has been forever since I have made an entry on my blog. I told you all at the outset that this blog was going to be a half-assed effort on my part. So I have not disappointed. I guess to be considered a serious blogger, you have to write something everyday, which I have neither the time or energy/desire to do. Whether it's because I am at work, or just chilling out at home with Brianne, I have things in my life that rank much higher on my priority list than religiously maintaining a blog that like two or three people read (Hey, sis!).
To quickly catch everyone up, the following is a list of things that have happened since December 9th, the date of my last entry:
1) Christmas: Got a lot of nice things, such as new golf shoes, some movies and the new Helmet CD. It sounds pretty good, but not their best effort, and they do a Beatles' cover, and I am not a Beatles fan.
2) Went up to Haymarket and saw Roman, Irina and their new baby Ayden. Had an awesome time!
3) Got way too drunk for my own good on New Year's Eve. After 12 beers, and too many jello shooters to remember later, I was, as I posted on Facebook that night, "drunker than Jimmy McNulty from that one episode of THE WIRE where he crashed his car twice, wound up at some diner, and then wound up banging the 20-year old waitress that was serving him."
4) Watched the Hokies get dismantled at the hands of the Stanford Cardinal. The ACC BCS Bowl futility continues. Plus, the Hokies' top two running backs have declared for the NFL Draft. Uncertainty about next season is at a high level.
5) Watched the Redskins finish up another losing season. And now, both Mel Kiper and Todd McShay are projecting the Skins will pick Cam Newton with their first pick. The last Auburn quarterback they drafted didn't work out, so I hope they don't pick Newton.
6) Celebrated Brianne's birthday this past weekend, with her family and two of our friends. We went to dinner and then went bowling.
I am sure I left some things out. Looking forward, I am ready for spring to get here ASAP. Now that football season is pretty much over, I am ready for warmer weather. Warmer weather means I can break out the golf clubs and hit the links. And with the gift certificate to my local course I got from my sister, I will be playing some rounds for free! But I am so done with winter. I had to drive home in the snow yesterday and my car damn near slid off the road...THRICE! (Here's looking at you, Conan O"Brien). Brianne and I are hoping to take a trip to Pigeon Forge this spring as well because we haven't taken a vacation in some time. So we have plans for warmer weather!
