Happy Birthday to me!

Yep, In about 2 minutes from now I'll officially be 29 years old. Was born 9:40am on November 16th, 1979!

So last night Amy made me an awesome steak dinner with Potatoes and shes cooking me a birthday cake today! Can't wait! Also last night it was quite enjoyable just kinda relaxing with no where to go, no where to be. Although we did end up going grocery shopping at BJ's since we lost power and then ended up getting caught in a major downpour on our way out! But anyways, we just hung out, watched the Bruins, Cops, and Top chef while having some delicious pomegranate martinis!

Thanks Amy! :)

Happy Birthday to me!

So I was on my days off from work and I wake up on Thursday the 13th to find a card addressed to me. So I was like "Hmm". On the front of the card was "A long, long time ago" (think Star Wars) and on the inside it said "You were born" and meanwhile the card was playing the Star wars music haha! Also included inside were 3 tickets to the Bruins Montreal game that night! I coulda never have guessed it! Amy got me such a great present and something I really had no idea what it would be.

So we sat in the Loge section which was 15 rows back behind the net of the Montreal side. Couldn't believe how many Montreal fans were there! It was probably about half of the crowd! Well, needless to say, they were quiet almost all night cuz the Bruins kicked butt 6-1! With chants of "Carrrr-eyyy" (The Montreal Goalie) and "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, gooddddbyee" made it quite an enjoyable to taunt the Montreal fans. Not to mention, the guy sitting next to me was crazy! And he wasn't even drinking! He was all about the high fives and just going nuts!! Then on the T ride home a Mtl fan and a Boston fan almost had it out.

So overall, Amy totally rocks and can't thank her enough! Tonight shes making me a steak dinner and tomorrow her parents are cooking me a dinner!

Yes we can!

Well, the elections come and gone and I'm mostly satisfied with the results. I'm happy with who got elected President. As Caitlin said, "This has gotten me interested in politics" which I have to agree. While Bush has been in office I've been hohum but now with Obama I feel he could hopefully make a difference with the country. I hope that he can get us out of the rut that we're in and have other countries actually like us and not hating us.

As for the Massachusetts ballot questions, I'm not all too happy with the outcome of them.

Question 1-Eliminate State Income-Didn't pass which I'm happy cuz that would cut state funding even more than its already getting cut and put the PD even more at risk

Question 2-Decriminalization of Marijuana-I have no idea how this passed but it did something like 70% yes...this is just stupid. People try to justify why its good but I'll never buy it. Especially with the field I'm in now we just let people who are smoking joints get away with it by giving them a $100 ticket. Whoop de do

Question 3-Banning greyhound racing-This is the one I felt most strongly about and now dog racing is going to be banned in MA. For several reasons. A)My mother in law has worked there for 20+ years and now will be out of a job B)Police details will now be gone once the track closes. C)Now because of the stupid ASPCA supporting this dogs will be sent off to other states without regulations and others could possibly be put to sleep. How could societies sworn to protect the rights of defenseless animals let this happen and support this? Why would you support something where dogs are going to be killed. This is absolute blasphemy and I wil NEVER support the ASPCA and I know that my mother in law will never give money to them again. It's an outrage.

Well, thats the end of my rant. As I said, I'm both happy and upset with the results.

Minority

I feel like the minority around here. I think I'm the only guy here at the PD who voted for Obama. I woulda thought my coworker who is around my age woulda voted for Barack as well but shes voting for McCain. Oh well, I keep my opinion to myself around here cuz I don't feel like starting any fights :P

Oil Schmoil

So yesterday I thought I'd be super productive. First got a call to work a road detail where it was considered an 8 hour minimum (meaning if I worked say 10 minutes I'd still get paid 8 hours for it no matter how much I worked). Then got my car inspected and then decided that would I change my oil today. Ended up being a disaster. I had the drain pan lined up where the oil was draining but forgot to take into account that I'd need to move it as the oil drained out. So when I sat up I saw oil friggin on the driveway and went into a panic lol and threw sand everywhere to soak it up. Gonna leave it like it for awhile and hope it doesn't stain the driveway too bad. Then when I was wrapping up, I thought I had enough clearance where I was layin and smacked my head on the AFrame ugh lol!

It's over already :(

So at this point last week, myself, Amy and Caitlin were probably just about getting up and getting ready to head down to the Cape. Seems like it was just yesterday she was here. The whole weekend went by like a blur and only wish that we had more time to show Caitlin more of the sites and sounds. Only hope that she comes back so we can relax a little bit more and show her some more of the area. Who knows, maybe Hanson will stop by again ;)

Been awhile
