A New Day, a Different Decade

I can't believe I forgot to blog about a certain special someone yesterday... (drum roll please...) Milo! My Jack Russel puppy who just turned a year old! Whether he's nibbling at my shoes, hopping in excitement when I come home from school, or sleeping on his back in a crazy position, Milo's personality never fails to please. Don't you just love people like that; no matter what time of year or situation they are in, you can always count on them to have a smile on their face? It's pretty sad that my best friend, who's exactly like that, has been in another country for about a month now =[ . But hey, there's no point in being depressed about such a fact, especially considering that she'll be back soon ^.^ . To take my mind off of a few things, I recently brought the Journey: Greatest Hits album. There's nothing like a little bit of Journey to make you feel epic again. Along with the Journey album, I also listened to about 3 different Dean Martin CD's, and wow, I mean WOW. Dean Martin's music is so free spirited and intellectual; it's quite riveting. The music industry today has become...how can I put this lightly, a boatload of crap? Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I wonder why some people tell me that I should have been born in a different time period... is that true? I've always been told that I'm mature for my age, well, at least by the adults who I seem most mature too. What an interesting remark...

First Post, Followed By A Snow Day

Ah, the first blog post. A feeling of... liberation? But nothing's quite as liberating as waking up to a blaring newscaster on a groggy Friday morning and learning that it's a Snow Day. Two snow day's in one school year; Bloomberg's quite the generous man I guess! As I toppled back into bed for another five hours of rest, there was no doubt in my mind that I would soon build the most epic snowman ever created, with the help of two colleagues of course. After waking up to the smell of corn muffins and coffee (Thanks, mom!), I put on my "construction worker" boots (as my dear friend likes to call them) and trekked into the white monster that was somehow considered 'snow'. My God, the snow was knee-deep, freezing, and falling at the speed of light! But I have to admit, nothing compares to cascading in mounds of freshly fallen snow, sliding down an icy slide while giggling like a child, or feeling the sting of snow that was just thrown at your backside. After a long, rambunctious hour of frolicking like 3 year-olds, we decided to get down to business and build this snowman of epic proportions. The only thing that got in our way were the icicles plummeting rapidly from the tree's ahead, but much was accomplished in that time period. For once, the snowman did not appear as a mound, but an actual figurine! What an achievement =] . Hopefully, I'll post a picture of it later in the week. Well, that's all for today's post, and on a final note, a regular day can always become more than expected, usually when you least expect it. Does that make any sense? I hope so. =]
