Bottle update

I guess I should start my posting habits with an update on an earlier one.

Christmas has now come and gone, and the time spent with my family was enjoyable. I was even able to spend an evening with my best friend from high school, and we had a lot to talk about, catching up on recent events in both our lives. I feel a little bad for keeping him up so late that night, but he didn't seem too concerned with kicking me out and it was really good to get a little more reconnected again.

The drive down and back wasn't even too terrible, as the trip down was pretty uneventful, and the trip back, while threatened with ice, stayed away. However driving back the Sunday after Christmas was a little hectic, as you have so many people on the roads who don't normally drive, and it shows. There were no less than four wrecks along I-85, which caused several slow downs and complete stops.

What I want to know is, why do people feel the need to come to a complete stop along an interstate highway, when the wreck is on the complete other side of the highway, and in no way impedes traffic flow. Come on people, act like you've been in this world longer than 20 minutes. It's a wreck. You aren't going to see body parts strewn over the highway, and even if you did, why would you want to, you morbid, sick fucks? Just drive!

During our traditional Christmas Day food overload orgy and gift exchange, the last gift handed out, was of course, The Bottle. As I mentioned earlier, it was my turn to fill it this year, and I sort of feel like I took an easy way out. I decided to fill it with a multi-colored sand sculpture. I figured, if nothing else, my brother could keep it on his desk at work and it would at least be pretty. I was even proud of the way it turned out, as it looked a bit tye-dyed. Hey, at least it beats filling it with orange juice, which I received last year.

Catching Up

I know it has been a long time since I updated this site, and I have a lot of catching up to do. Rest assured I will be posting more frequently now that the holidays are over and I have time to settle back into somewhat of a routine.

Another post coming shortly.
