2 days and counting...

Just 2 Days remain until CJ and i make our trip to chicago... i shake with anticipation

Lets begin with the fun and follies of christmas weekend, shall we. I left early from work on friday because i felt like hell. Maybe not hell... but pretty darn close. I had that damn sore throat thing going on and i was feeling very sleepy. So, since i was one of the 5 people who showed up to work (out of 22) i decided to make an executive decision and go home and sleep. I took a 2-3 hours nap then got on the road to StLmo. Yeah, i drove straight to my brother Sam's place. We still had all of our christmas shopping to do.

My bother now has me hooked on watching that HBO series Band of Brothers. For those of you that haven't watched it, its frickin' great. I dunno maybe i'm just a nerd who enjoys to watch the history channel every now and then but, Tom Hanks really did something terriffic. I'm almost contemplating the purchase of said mini series. Its rather 'spensive though... its $90 at best buy (where i got a gift certificate for christmas) but only $60 at Walmart(which, i hate going there as much as Dane Cook hates going to the DMV. ungh. the Kroenke's live here in columbia too so, i might as well go knock on their door and hand them my money directly. hell all i have to do is walk upstairs in my officebuilding and there is the kroenke group. they are everywhere.)

Oh, so for the merryment of chrismas i got to witness the ol' Brasses family temper in full force. My dad managed to loose his cool and pull a U-turn in the middle of an intersection doing about 30+ miles per hour. He spun the back end around like a pro... or maybe he just watched too many Dukes Of Hazzard episodes reciently. At any rate, it was amusing to watch him take some 90 degree turns at 40+ MPH all while yelling obcenities.... if you want to know what little thing made him angry you can just ask me in person. its nothing too big.
