Today's one of those days you wake up, its cloudy, dreary and raining and all you want to do is lay in bed and sleep til lord knows when. Not for me though, I'm here, sitting at work wishing I was home. Oh well.
Right now we've been working on some home renovations and putting up some new interior doors making the house look a lil more modern and not so 1950ish. So far, we're about 1 1/2 doors in with 4 to go. Fun fun! Once that's done, we're having a contractor come look at the house and do a couple windows. Not only will the house look better aesthetically, it'll help keep the cold air out during the winter so it's a win win.

Hobby
So as I sit here at work, I'm thinking "I need a hobby". I really don't have one. Essentially my days consist of going to work, XBox, TV for the night. Granted I don't mind doing all that but I feel like a hobby would definitely be something interesting. Not quite sure what I feel like picking up. I used to assemble model cars and such and that could be fun and was also thinking maybe picking up guitar but my only experience with guitar comes from Rock Band/Guitar Hero and I know that it's not even close to the real thing so I dunno. Anyone else have any suggestions?

25 Things
So Amy and Caitlin have done this thing where you name 25 things about yourself that others may not know about you. I figured I'd hop on board this as well. I might try to get some bonus ones in but we'll see :P
1) I tend to 2nd guess myself as well. As I sit here at my current place of employment, I sometimes wonder knowing what I know now, whether I should have gone into another field ie-computer science or something along those lines.
2) I'm a huge sports nut. I love all New England Sports but most especially the Red Sox and the Bruins. Probably a lil too much of a fan, just ask Amy :P
3)I have a tendency to fall in love with Boston Bands-Aerosmith, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Dropkick Murphys
4)I'm a video game nut. Generally with XBox but with the Wii as well. Pretty much always have been with Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Gameboy
5)I love to draw. I'm not that good at it. I'm more into cartoonish drawings and none of that still life crap.
6) Love to tinker with cars. I mostly just do small repairs (oil, brakes etc) I like it b/c a)I learn from it and b)I save a lotta loot.
7)I'm a huge dog lover. If I could have dogs running around everywhere in the house, I probably would but, a)we have a small house and b)not economical and c)it'd be so loud!
8)I have a love/hate relationship with New England. I hate the weather, but love it. N.E. is one of the few parts of the country that has all 4 seasons. Some places just have hot/warm. Here its mild, hot, cool, snow.
9)I have a great wife <3
10)I have great in-laws. Mom/Dad have both treated me like I was their oldest son since the day they met me and the brother in law is great as well! :)
11)As I've grown up, I've realized that the Earth is something we should value and treasure. I've hopped on with Amy and Caitlin in being a little more 'green' and trying to recycle more, use less plastic bags
12)Growing up I was the typical Boston kid: I was gonna grow up and be the next Nomar Garciaparra for the Boston Red Sox and be the starting shortstop. Well, that sure as heck never happened haha.
13) I'm horrible at deciding things. What to do, what to have for dinner. Amy and I will sometimes just sit there for like 10 minutes trying to figure out stuff to do.
14)I love my Peanut butter and jelly. Yes, I'm almost 30 years old and I still pretty much bring in a PB/J sandwich everyday to work. Not only is it delicious, but I save a ton of money from not eating out everyday which I don't understand. Say you eat out everyday and spend $5/day in food/coffee and what not. $25 a week $100/month $1200 a year! That's just crazy the amount I save =]
15)I find it so much easier to text someone than actually call them. I think a lot of people will agree with me on this fact. Instead of calling someone and asking them "Hey, what you doing? Wanna come over?" Can be sent in a simple text without even having to talk to them
16)I consider myself a big history buff. My wife thinks history's boring but where would we be without it? :) Probably the part I love the most is WWII. I have books upon books and tons of movies recounting the acts of soldiers of that time
17)Staying on the book theme, I consider myself a bookworm. I love to read. It helps pass the time at work and at home. Whether it be something by Tom Clancy or something from the WWII era, I am probably reading something of that sort at any point.
18)Allergies. I've had them my whole life and they'll probably never go away. I seem to have them year round. Just ask my wife lol I think she get's a lil annoyed by it sometimes but I can't help it! I seem to be allergic to almost every type of airborne allergen and only allergic to a one food which doesn't bother me (shellfish!)
19)I actually don't mind baking. I've always had a sweet tooth so it fits well with me. Often times I usually take the shortcut and just bake stuff out of the box but I tend to enjoy making a cake or other sweets.
20)When I was younger my house was broken into two times. Both during the day and the first time I was actually home and was only about 10 years old. It was quite the traumatic experience and since then I've always been a lil OCD about making sure my house is secure and all the doors are locked up tight.
21)Crying babies in public annoy me. My wife and I totally dislike being out in public and just hearing kids and babies cry constantly. Lol, we're gonna make GREAT parents.
22)I'm such a procrastinator. I dunno why, but putting things off is a thing that I do awesome and that's probably why its taken me so long to do my list of 25 :)
23)In my fantasy life, I'd have two cars. My everyday car would probably be an Audi A4 and my fun car would definitely be a Ford Mustang. Preferably one from the 60's and either a GT350 or GT500. Eleanor
24) I love fantasy leagues. Probably started off about 5 years ago doing fantasy hockey on Yahoo! and now I do pretty much every sport. Hockey, baseball, football, football pick'em, college football pick'em, NCAA brackets
25) I've taken a ton of languages over the years. 7-12th grades I took Spanish and took a couple in college yet I'm not even close to being fluent in it. I've also taken a year of Latin (bleck!) and I've taken German as well (double bleck!)
BONUSES!
26)I've had a few hobbies over the years that I probably wouldn't mind revisting. For instance, I used to be big into fishing. Also was into doing up model cars.
27)In middle school, I played clarinet. I was never really that into it so I didn't really stick with it. Now that I'm older, I've had thoughts about picking up another instrument, probably guitar (mainly get that from playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero, even though its not even remotely close to playing the real thing)
28)I've always kinda considered myself savvy in electronics. Mainly from my days of working with cell phones for Verizon. I may have not been in the business for awhile but I always try to keep myself up to date on the latest and greatest.
29)I'm a tv junkie. Whether it be reality tv, WWII documentaries, sports, cartoons, sitcoms, I'm probably watching something along those lines several hours a day.
30)Amy hates long toenails, I hate long fingernails. I dunno why, it just irritates me when they get long.
31)Last but not least, when it comes to music, I'm pretty eclectic...I love a wide choice of music. However, when it comes to remembering lyrics to em, forget about it. I'll probably sing a few lines and then hum most of the rest lol.
That's it! Amy and Caitlin have already done theirs and I'll probably be the last one to do this. Doubt anybody else will read this or even do it themselves.
