Writers Block

Writer's block is a bitch. Having nothing to write about makes me seem is though I am negligent towards my blog. Maybe I am. I figured I would fill you in on a couple of happenings that have occurred in the past few days.

1. Marty returned home from basic (boot camp, whoop ass period, etc.). It was good to see him slimmed down to nearly an even 200 hundred pounds. I don't want to release a position on my feelings of the War (Iraq), the Marines and how they are perceived, or any sort of political candidacy or their position on the War. I am, however, glad to see the Marine Corps give my friend an opportunity at a better life by teaching him necessary life and career skills. Semper Fi!

2. I drove my first "long drive." I drove to High Point, which is about 4 hours from New Bern, all by myself. Yeah, I know, give me a cookie, blah blah blah. It was super sweet driving that far on my own. It was also cool driving in my new car. This leads me to my next thought.

3. I would not have been able to afford my car without the help of my late-grandmother. She was supportive of me all through my life. During her lifetime and younger years she lived a frugal life, always saving, being safe. Due to her frugality and wise money-management techniques, I am fortunate enough to have things that many other people do not. I hope that someday I am able to repay my grandmother's generosity by doing the same thing for my future children and grandchildren.

4. Law & Order is the first show in a LONG time that I have actually made an effort to watch. For some reason I am intrigued by the arguments made by the D.A. (Jack McCoy) and the opposing attorney.


Well, that is all I have for now. Adios!
