Christmas is over
and not a moment too soon, too! I think I was going to freak out if I heard "Someday at Christmas" just one more time. It would not have been a pretty sight, I assure you.
How was your Christmas? Mine was very nice. I got a lot of great things, and I gave a lot of great things. I spent time with both sides of the family this year, which was nice. I always dread going to family events. I'm not sure why that is. Probably because the only thing that people every talk to me about is work. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't like to talk about work when I'm not at work. I'm more than my profession.
However, I don't really know how well other members of my family know me. They may not know about my hobbies or interests. We're really not that close. I always kind of admired my wife because she spends time with some of her cousins. The only time I see my cousins is on a holiday or funeral. And even then, we don't really talk to each other. It seems that the only thing we have in common is ancestry...and a love of food.
As I mentioned above, I got some great gifts this year. But the best gift I received, was a phone call from my pen pal in Nicaragua. Edgard and I have been friends for almost 4 years. We email each other at least once a month, entirely in Spanish. Molly and I had just finished watching the Simpsons' Movie (thanks brother Phil Good) and were getting ready for bed, when I got the call. It was a thrill to finally be able to speak with someone that I have been writing to for so long. It was also an eye opener. I need to practice speaking (and listening to spoken) Spanish. If anyone out there wants to help me out here, it will be appreciated.
Finally, Molly and I went to see Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story over the weekend. I was worried that it wasn't going to be all that great. After all, I've been dissapointed with Judd Apatow movies in the past. But this movie was HILARIOUS! Go see this movie! John C. Reilly is great as usual, Jenna Fischer is amazing (and hot as always), and Chris Parnell is in it (If he's in a movie, you know it's going to be good).
That's it for now. I hope your Christmas was great. If you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope your holiday went / is going well.
Courage
