Suit Jacket

Recently, I gave this powder blue jacket to Scott.
It was a licensed reference prop from DefJam:ICON.
Used to model proper gangster attire for the game.
May it live on in my memory here, and here alone.

Last Season's Championship

Kerry and Mike and I saw Scott play hockey!
He did a great job out there on the ice!

Light Bulbs

I was replacing light bulbs recently.
(so was Rae! our lives are synced!)

One bulb was broken in an overhead light.
(I coerced it's remains from the outlet with pliers!)

Good thing I always have some nice safety glasses handy!
(better than glass in your eyes.)

double booked

It seems like my whole life is double booked sometimes!
There is always something to do, somewhere to go.
Each day is made up of making decision after decision.
Its nearly always multiple choice questions on life's tests.

Never a dull moment - I always have plans.
There are so many things I want to learn and see and do!
However, I do like the idea of putting up my feet a bit.
I can't help but feel like I'd be wasting time, though!
After all, our lives are made only of time.
There is so much to do!

VOIDED

Norman returned rent checks after the new company took over.
I VOIDED them, and for some reason, thought it remarkable.
