"Life is a storm

... my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you: as Albert Mondego, the man!": Edmond Dantes - Counte of Monte Cristo......favorite movie ever.

so i realize i havent written in a while but life has been rather busy as of late. So here we go!

Friday night was spent relaxing with a friend of mine who made dinner in return for some booze.....mmmmm stuffed shells!

Saturday we finally had our first WW trip of the year, skiing at Blue Moutain. It was my first time out on the mountain all season and it felt SO GOOD. I hung out with Mervin, Tim, Chris, and Bryant for most of the day so it was all good. The busdriver missed the Sheetz on the way home (i believe on purpose), so Tim was pissed that we had to settle for WaWa.

Best quote of the day goes to Tim: "Everyone hold on, my happy trail is stuck in my jeans, I cant move!"

Saturday night I went to MadMex with Matt for a bit then watched some canadian HS drama show with Liz till like 3 in the A.

Sunday I relaxed for a good portion of the morning since I hadn't really had time to myself lately (maybe i shouldve blogged then). Then watched "Love Actually" with Liz......let's talk about this movie for a second....

So I really like the idea of love being all around, and almost always conquering everything....it's basically my philosophy on life....but is it realistic in this day-in-age? i continue to hope so, but idk. Plus, the girl who ends up with the prime minister is INCREDIBLY attractive...both in the way she loks, and the kind of person that she portrays.....Zoey may have competition.....
Anywho, i got a little depressed after the movie was over seeing as how i havent really seen love anywhere around me at all lately.....blah.

On Monday we got the news that two brothers of AXP passed away in a car acident this past weekend......now obvi I feel sorry for their friends/family....but....(disclaimer: pessimism). I feel like people become so fake when things like this happen. This goes back to my discussion about "love being all around." People in the world (or at least around here) generally dont give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.....then when things like this happen, everyone is all "cherish life" "i love you" blah blah blah......and then a week from now it will all go back to the same....there will still be drama, animosity, hate, apathy, and a total disregard for anything that doesnt immediately benefit you. Idk, i guess I fell like the way people act cheapens the tragedy that happened....you want my advice....try to ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING from this.....not how maybe YOU should stop and smell the roses, bc when ur gone, well, ur gone. But thw way that you TREAT OTHER people, will live on.....if that makes any sense.

ok, pessimism over.

Monday i woke up at 3AM to go to work early bc i had a presentation to my regional manager proposing the project i have been working on all coop. Originally we prokected it to be abouit 60k, but it has since gone up to about 160k....and is still rising, so i was freaking out that they were going to pull the plug....but they didnt....yet.

Then yesterday i was able to kind of catch up on some more WW stuff (we have another ski trip this Saturday), and have some time to myself...which was nice.

Lets see what today brings!

Currently Listn'n: Rammstein - "Amerika"
