Progress

It's been a while and I think you've earned it.

Today at work there were some whole lemons sitting out. Before you start grilling me about why Top Secret agents have bowls of lemons sitting around, I'll just go ahead and tell you . . . that I can't tell you, because it's top secret. Instead I'll tell you what this bowl of lemons meant to me today . . . why they were more important to me today, than they have ever been on any other day with a bowl of lemons sitting out.

Juggling.

You saw my last video and how amazing I was right? Well I've only gotten better. Some of it was practice, but some of it was Cofo's technique of not practicing.

I saw the lemons at noon. Instantly I knew what I had to do. But I waited. I waited because I was busy with top secret things.

Finally around 2 o'clock my opportunity came. The opportunity to show the world what I could do. To show them that I'm so much more than just another top secret agent.

I grabbed three lemons and instantly felt a little nervous. Nervous because this time I wasn't just standing alone in my room practicing with actual juggling balls while nobody watched me.

I was using lemons. LEMONS! If I dropped one it would fall on the ground . . . and then what?! Would I have to throw the lemon away? Would my top secret agent boss get angry at me for inappropriate use of company property?

It didn't matter. The lemons were there and I had to juggle. Not only did I have to juggle, but I had to juggle where people could see. So after I grabbed the lemons I looked for the first person I could find and demanded that they watch.

And so I was on stage, sure, it was only one person, but they were looking at me. And guess what?

THEY WERE IMPRESSED! . . . SUCCESS!

I think it's safe to call myself a juggler. Time to break out the resume . . . some changes need to be made.

Life altering decision - Help Please

Today I had an appointment to get my car stereo speaker fixed. The appointment was at 2, so I dropped it off at BestBuy and then headed over to Barnes and Noble to wait for it. I didn't expect it to take soooo long though.

After about three hours they called me and told me to call them back or just go in. So I put back the "Calvin and Hobbes" book I was reading (great stuff by the way) and went over. Guess what? They didn't even get to my freaking car. Somebody called in sick so they couldn't get to it and now I have to take it back in the morning.

Am I angry? Sort of.

However, during the waiting period I had some time to think.

As most of you may know, I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. All I know is that it seems to be going nowhere, and I know one thing is for sure, I don't want to stay in Nevada for much longer.

So here's where you guys come in. I need some advice.

Over the past few months I've been thinking about where I want to move to next. I moved to Reno on a whim, so I'm really trying to give this some thought.

I know I want to move where there is family close by, because I can't stand living so far away from all of them now. San Diego has always been in the mix, but I've lived there already and even though the weather was beautiful during Christmas and it was a pleasant change from the cold winter, I think I might miss the seasons too much.

So that's when I started considering the Chicago area, where my brother lives. I even talked to him about it while we were together for Christmas and he told me Cadiz has even brought it up to him.

But this would be a big move. It would be expensive, and I wouldn't necessarily have a job when I got there. However, it would be close to my brother, and the Beast would be a little bit closer as well. Not much, but closer.

Plus, if my brother has kids, I would get to be near them.

It's also less expensive to live in than Southern California.

So what are your thoughts?

I would plan on moving in May I think, because that's when my bowling league will be over. Nothing is set in stone, but a large part of me is ready to get the hell out of this town.

Tuxedo dress

As most of you may remember from my last post, I am an awesome juggler!

You may also remember that my sisters and I are going to be in my brothers wedding.

After he asked us to stand up there, we (mainly the Beast and I) were overwhelmed with questions. My main one concerned the dress I would be wearing. Not because I hate wearing dresses, because it's my brothers wedding and I will wear whatever he wants me to wear, but because I wanted to know if it would be a tuxedo dress.

When I mentioned "tuxedo dress" I knew exactly what I was talking about because I could picture it in my head. However the rest of the Fam* was confused.

So today I came up with a preliminary drawing of what the hell I was talking about. It's not perfect, because I'm not exactly Michaelangelo (yes, I'm talking about the ninja turtle), but it covers the basic idea.



Soooo, what do you think? Pretty awesome right?!!?

* Yeah, I abbreviate the word family now.

FYI - Cadiz12 - I will of course wear whatever you want me to wear.
