For a long time, I have wanted my own blog, a place where I can express myself, talk about things that interest me, and at the same time, have a “site” that I can call my own. I write often but most of my writing I keep for myself in a journal. So a few months ago I thought “maybe I should start a blog!”

So here I am, after a lot of thinking and lots of back and forth (mainly with myself), my blog is set up and ready. There isn’t any specific theme or topic for this blog — just a place to share some of my thoughts.

I want to thank cl1ck4207 on the Twitters for helping me. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate his help.

We helped out!

Today our friends Kim and Cole moved in to their new house! We had a lot of fun helping them out despite the bad weather. It was cold and everything was slippery. But we managed to get everything in their new home before it started snowing and that was awesome. What was less awesome was, as we just left. Our car got stuck in the snow! Not fun! If it wasn’t for the help of a random person and our friends (Kim and Cole) we probably wouldn’t have made it out. Needless to say that wasn’t as fun but we made it and that’s all that matters.

After helping our friends move today. I’ve decided that from now on all books and movies will be bought digitally!

Snow Day

Today we had probably the worse snow day in the past few years, at least to my knowledge. The last time I remember seeing this much snow was back in 2008 when I first moved here. I remember it was mid February and there was still a lot of snow around and yet people say it wasn’t as bad as this year. Regardless, today was a challenge to come out of the house and try to get the kid to the grandma’s and then the wife to work and the worse part of all of it is that for some reason I woke up starving! I was super super hungry so I knew I needed something to eat right away. So I had decided to go to a near by Starbucks after dropping my wife off and get a sandwich or something and coffee, of course. I get to the Albertsons (where the Starbuck it’s located at) and perfect, there was nobody in the parking lot and nobody in the store. I purchased my coffee (Grande non-fat flat White) and my sandwich (Double smoked bacon and egg). Go back to my car and thought it was the perfect opportunity to sit there in my car and eat my sandwich. And just when I was about to get my first bite, another car pulls right next to me! Crap! Now I’m thinking that this person is going to look at me eating. Of all the places this person could have parked — the parking was empty — it parks right next to me! Anyway, regardless I ate my sandwich and continued my merry way to work, which it also was kind of a challenge. The roads were so bad, cars were getting stuck in the snow and everything was slower than normal — a mess to say the least.

Getting back home at the end of the day had the same challenge, roads were bad (specially in the neighborhoods, not so much the main roads) traffic was slower than normal and cars stuck in the snow. I don’t think I have ever shoveled so much snow in my life. I hope tomorrow conditions improve otherwise it’s going to suck a bit.
