A bit of our life, in words.

So, another sleepless night… I figured I’d write something. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by and the question again pops up: “Who ever thought we’d get this far?”

So pictured here is my new guitar! It’s the second electric guitar I’ve owned. My first one was used and destroyed a few years ago by my brother, along with my $600 amp. My first electric guitar was a cheap $100 Fender Squire. I still remember “splurging” and going down to the local guitar store in Searcy, Arkansas during my first year of college and picking that up with my cousin Cory. I took it back to my dorm and first learned how to play some John Mayer on it.

This new one is a Fender “Mexican” Stratocaster. Definitely a step up. I bought a Line6 Pocket POD to use in place of an amp for now until I can afford a nice one. The first song I learned to play on this one was “Nobody Else” by Los Lonely Boys. Fun stuff!

I also got a new MacBook Pro after my dad left Pam’s laptop at an airport over in Europe! So Pam is upgraded to an early 2008 MacBook Pro and I’m sporting the new uni-body one. It’s pretty slick! It’s great to go to a LAN party and not have to haul my “gaming machine” over there. I can just take my MacBook Pro and it can handle just about anything I throw at it (though it does get hot!).

There’s a side by side. I’m getting Pam to start using Mac OSX. It’s frustrating for her to learn things over again but she’s being really patient about it and letting me have her move over to OSX.

Business wise, there’s lots of things in the pipe that we’re working to get out. So that’s all still at a “coming soon” status.

Christmas was great. There weren’t any scheduling conflicts this year, woohoo! That’s all I can think of for now, later!

So I had jury duty yesterday and was one of 6 selected to be on the jury out of 25 people. I’ve always generally believed that, yes, I know there are innocent people in jail and that bad things happen to good people. I understand that… but I also understand that the other 98-99% of people who are in court are there for a good reason. And that people are good at lying and story telling, etc, etc.

So the case we heard was a solicitation of prostitution case. It basically came down to the undercover cop’s word against this Chinese lady’s word. Long story short, we found her not guilty in like 20 seconds after we all sat down in the deliberation room. I could go into details about it… but don’t feel like typing 20 pages! It was definitely a good experience and gave me some insight on the world in general.

In other news, is it crazy or what how the number of people who say, “if so-and-so wins, I’m moving to such-and-such”, just grows exponentially as the election comes to a close and how it’s largely the democrats who make such “threats” or “incredible” statements. I’d like them to lose just to prove what a drama-queen they’re being; cause you know they’re not going to pack up and move like they say they would. Weren’t there some celebrities who made those kinds of statements but never made good on them when they lost?

Anyway, that’s all I’ll say about the election, because for anyone who cares… who couldn’t talk for pages about it?
