Ambling through randomly meandering ramblings…

Running good. November 21, 2006

So lately I’ve been running pretty good.  I’ve started playing poker again, which makes me nervous because of school coming up, but so far it’s been good to me.  I made $1000 this weekend.  So now my wallet is quite full of hundred dollar bills.  Beyond that, I got all my problems sorted out with the IT office so they finally let me register.  I’ll be taking 2 classes with Joel next semester!!  We’ve got a statistics class together (which we didn’t even realize we were taking the same class until one time we had lunch together at Burrito Loco and were chatting about it…) and we both registered for Gospel Choir.  That’s going to be pretty awesome too.  We’re going to be singing about so many classics.  It’s going to be ridiculous.  There’s Noah, Moses, David!, Ezekiel (he saw a wheel, in a wheel, way up in the middle of the air), Samson…and there’s always the dude who did the whole walking on water, dying for our sins thing.  Plus the word “alleluia” will be sung at least 1 million times.  I mean, 250 people, times…say…30 times in a song, practiced twice a day, for say 12 rehearsals before a concert = 180,000 alleluias…shit…I guess it’ll be tough to make it to a million.  But over the whole semester it’ll happen.  I’ll try to keep a tally.

Thanksgiving is here!  I recently realized this is one of my favorite holidays.  Two days off work, just to sit around and eat a whole fucking lot of good food and then watch football.  I mean, seriously, how does it get better than that?  This weekend I’ll be a busy boy.  Thursday is down to Rochester to see the Kangas Klan (hm I wonder if Alex will be there?  Hope so.  Haven’t seen him in a while.)   I’ll have to remember to bring some money to pay back my cousin Jenna.  We’re going to the John Mayer concert together when he comes to town.  It’ll be cute.  She’s not a real Kangas though.  Her mom was.  Anyway, then we’re back Thursday night, and Friday afternoon we leave to the middle of the BADger state to get a family portrait taken with my mom’s side of the family.  It’s going to be a really cool event.  The age spectrum (84 year old grandfather, 1 year old cousin) is pretty amazing.  It’s really great to be around the group of people that share the same roots (and genes!) as you.

Beyond all that, in general I’ve just been fantastic lately.  I’m nearly as happy as a clam.  I haven’t quite reached clam status on my happiness, as girls don’t seem to like me much.  But I’m a patient guy.  They’ll come around.

Soooo excited for Thanksgiving Dinner.
