This is going to be about as random as I get. Even I don't know for sure what is coming next:
Thanksgiving fascinates, excites, and disappoints me all at the same time. I love having a day to reflect on all my wonderful blessings (though I really try to do so a little more often). But it amazes me to see so many hours put into making a meal that will be done in less than one. At least we have left-overs.
Distance is relative. When we lived a two hour drive away from our family we thought it was so difficult to make the trip. What a bunch of wieners/whiners we were.
Sleep is precious. Especially when the only sleep you get sucks.
Family photos are always an adventure. But never a good one.
Traipsing through the snowy, muddy mountains hunting rabbits for 4 hours is a great way to work off Thanksgiving dinner. It is also a great way to destroy a pair of already dying shoes. Good thing I brought another pair. Cargo pants and wingtips are not a good combination.
Studying goes slow when the test you are studying for is 4 months away. The motivation just doesn't seem to be there, but you give it a go anyway.
The music of Ayreon is amazing. The stories, aural landscapes, and emotions that each album portrays move me. This is a good thing, and one not accomplished by just any music.
JoeUser is an amazing community. The first online community that hasn't pissed me off (in extreme), and the first one where I actually, truly felt I was a part and that there were those around me I really valued. Thanks to all of you, new and old, for making this such a great online place to be. I hope you know I mean that.
