I had such a nice weekend, I slept when I had to sleep and that was a big change for me as you know and as a result I got to enjoy my weekend a bit more. I was going to go to the Festival of Books but in the end I stayed home instead, I just didn’t feel like dealing with traffic. I watched a couple of futbol games including the one between the four time champion DC United, my team by the way, and the New York Red Bulls. My team came back from a 2-0 deficit to win with a final score of 3-2 and that was exciting. I also watched the movie Next starring Nicholas Cage, with my nephew and I have to say that it was good. I also played COD 4, I had not played in a week!! so I was ready, I did not play as much as I have been playing as of late but I still had fun. I watched some TV Sunday night and went to bed late, yes I did.
It has been almost five months since I stopped using Windows Live Writer because of a HTML problem. I thought that by now something would have been done to fix that problem but that is not the case. I am very disappointed about that because I love Windows Live Writer and can’t wait to use it again. What is funny is that while I am waiting for the Windows Live Writer fix to be released I received an e-mail from my original blog editor Qumana letting me know that they had an upgrade. I still have Qumana on my desktop and I am thinking of downloading it to Sunshine and give it a test drive and that should be a lot of fun.
I think that I am a good driver, I obey the rules of the road, I am courteous and always on yellow alert. The reason why I am always on yellow alert it’s because I know that there is always a numbskull, or two, that is not paying attention like the guy in this story. I am on my way to work yesterday just minding my own business listening to Kiss with no cars whatsoever in front of me while on the other lane there is a long line of cars. All of the sudden this guy just moves to my lane without signaling which is bad enough and without even looking which is far worse. I had to suddenly brake and thought about honking but I am pretty sure that he wouldn’t have heard me because he was busy on the phone, yep. It sure makes me want to go back to riding the bus again but fortunately I don’t give up that easily.
The five day weekend just flew by and I didn’t do anything productive but then again that is not news. What’s sad is the fact that I have to go back to work and even though I love my job I just wish that I didn’t have to but sadly I do. Someday I am going to be the boss of me but until that happens I better get ready for that L.A. traffic plus I hear that it’s going to be about a million degrees today. Hey, that is life in the huge, it should be big I know but I want to see if you are paying attention, city people.
After working so much and having not enough fun, yeah right, I asked for three days vacation and I got it. So I am off for the next three days and that means that I have a five day weekend, yeah!!. Don’t worry though, I will stick to my blogging schedule. I still don’t know what I am going to do but resting is pretty high on my soon to be written list. I may, and that is a big may, do some work around the house and that is about it. I do plan on enjoying my days off as much as I possibly can because lets face it, how many five days weekend do we really get each year?, and the answer is, not that many.

The weekend was a very short one for me, mainly because I spent most of it playing Call of Duty 4. I stopped playing for a while but once again I am at it like crazy. It’s a cycle with me, I play a lot for a while and then I stop for a while and in the process I go to bed late and wake up even later, wait a sec, that is always the case so I should not blame COD 4 for that. I do have to say that playing online with other people it’s so much fun specially when you play with your friends. I think that I am going to have to write a post with my updated stats but I don’t know if I should wait until I reach a certain milestone, which is very close, or do I just update?, I am going to have to think about this one for a few.
Yes it’s true, I am still here, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, believe me, I am not that lucky. Been busy working and driving and working and even more driving, there is just no end for that vicious cycle. Anyway, I am going to make this post a very short one and you know that I have a lot of experience with those, have a great weekend and I will see you soon.
I have been driving to work since last Wednesday and I have to be honest here, I feel funny doing it. Maybe the reason why I feel funny driving it’s because I used to drive every once in a while on weekends and driving three straight days was something kinda new because I sure can’t remember when was the last time I did that. I just need to get used to it all over again I suppose but until them I just can’t help feeling funny. I have been taking the bus to work for the last three years and on my way back home I would get a ride from my friend as you know. Well, he got another job so that was not longer possible and to be honest I didn’t want to take the bus back home for one reason, I am usually tired and it is a one hour to one hour and a half ride depending on traffic and I just didn’t want to deal with that so instead I am driving a borrowed car until I get my own wheels and I can’t wait for that to happen.
As you all know one of my newest favorite movies is Enchanted, if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend that you do. To make a long story short about 2 Sundays ago I went to the iTunes store and bought So Close by Jon McLaughlin which in my opinion is the best song from the movie. I already played the song 37 times on my iPod with more to come. I am sure that you will love this song as much as I do so go to YouTube and sing along, enjoy.
You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Continuing with disappointment week and in case you don’t know what I am talking about just check Monday’s post at Gainsnlosses and you will understand. Anyway, I have been looking for a car for a few months now, I found a nice VW bug a while back but in the end nothing happened there. Well, last week I was just checking ads and found one for a 78 Mercedes Benz 450 slc that really caught my attention. I looked for a picture of said car online and as soon as I saw it I knew that I wanted it. To make a long story short when I went back to check the ad this past Monday the ad was no longer there, imagine my disappointment. I had time to call and time to go check it out last week but nope, I was too complacent again and have no one to blame but myself. I just can’t believe myself sometimes.
