• Seems like forever since I last updated. Last night, Mark and Amy came
  over for chili dinner. Shit, it was pretty damn good. Normally after
  dinner, we either play games or watch a movie. For some reason, we got
  LAME last night and started looking at old pics. It was cool and funny
  to look back at old pictures, it brought back a lot of memories. Some
  of the pics were from when my dad was in the Korean war back in the
  50s. It was wild, in a couple of the pics, he looks just like Mark. Or
  should I say, Mark looks just like him. We also looked at pictures from
  high school which was crazy. There also was a picture from camping a
  few years ago in which all the guys had a "gay pose". Dave is the
  funniest part of this picture. Actually, its hilarious. Honestly, I
  should be offended by it, but I find it too funny to be offended,
  especially since I'm in the fucking picture. We are going to campaign
  Scooty to have this picture in the slideshow at his wedding, but I
  don't know if he will do it.

  After a while, we called Dave on the spur of the moment and asked if he
  wanted to play Risk. He agreed and we headed over to his house. I love
  that game, I usually do very good at it and this was no exception. I
  wound up winning in a game that took, I don't know, a certain length of
  time. I'm usually pretty good at board games, which I guess makes up
  for the fact that I suck ass at sports. After the game, we just sat
  around talking until about 2 in the AM

  I feel bad for Mark and Dave. They both work for the same small company
  (its a surveying company, Dave is a dude that goes out and surveys the
  land. Mark is a computer aided draftsman who does shit with the work
  Dave does) and things are getting tough. Winter has always been their
  slow time, but they are down right now to 30 hours a week. They also
  just laid off 5 other people. The company.........lets just put it this
  way, they are not the most, uh, ethical company around. Because of this
  and because business is sorta slow, it might be only a matter of time
  before they lose their jobs. I just hope things work out for both of
  them, since they both have just had their first kids with in the past 6
  months (Mark on Aug 9 and Dave on Dec 29).

  Well, I went and done did it. I bought a big screen tv today. I got it
  from Grant's and its a 56 inch Toshiba hi-def DLP something something.
  Its got some sorta new technology which might be used in about 5-7
  years but until then, it is useless. I'm very excited about this, it
  will be delivered next Saturday. The only problem is that they will
  call me between 6-7AM Saturday morning to schedule delivery. Ouch.
  Thats SOOOOO fucking early, especially since we will be playing cards
  the night before. Oh well, I guess I will just have to deal with it.
