Let's Give this a Shot!

Merry Christmas, albeit a day late and a dollar short as old adage goes.

I find myself doing this for no further reason than to simply put down random thoughts, ideas, and from time to time just get things off my chest.

I will not say to anyone who reads this or knows me that you will at all times be graced, mentioned, or even simply spoken of in the most positive light. I will simply say that the truth as I see it or randomize it will be posted and if you are uncomfortable with it, darn it, start your own blog and let me have it in rebuttal. On the other hand, if you do in fact know me or my personality, you will fully understand most of these thoughts, good and bad. You will also be man or woman enough to know when I am simply venting or if I really do have a true gripe to you that needs to be addressed.

With that said, hello. This is going to be fun I can see it already.

Today, December 26th, 2009. The year is almost over and there are again so many things that I wanted to get done this year. As in many years past, I have failed myself again. 2010, Hi, My name is Dean, do you think we can maybe get somethings accomplished together? Let's finish that project, start that one we have been putting off, land on our feet more often, get back up and stop freaking whining about it, learn something new that will actually help? I hope so, welcome 2010, and to steal a line from Home Depot, Let's Build something Together!

Not sure where to take this next. As stated in the title, this is a wandering of and a.d.d. mind. I find myself sitting here with Pandora playing, hopefully quietly enough as not to disturb anyone else in the house who may be sleeping or reading. As the new song starts I can't help but wonder why I picked this station. I am really not in the mood for Michael Buble` right now. Ah, Pearl Jam Radio, now that's the stuff. Which reminds me, I really should update my iPod since I am down here and thinking of it.

So, a reflection on yesterday for a moment. I want to start by stating that it was a great day, Christmas seems to always be the only time we can actually get the entire family together for a few hours each year. Well, the only real time that we want to be together. A.d.d. moment, r.i.p. to all those we have lost this year! You will not be forgotten no matter how busy our lives get or how it may seem that we have. Ok where was I? So yesterday we all sat down together as a family, ate, drank, and caught up on things for the year. Some of us seemed to want to be there more than others, some of us didn't show up at all (but should have), and some of us wished it could have just been frozen in time and perfected for future use. Whatever your thoughts are on Christmas, it doesn't much matter to me, I see it as a time to get together and just relax from the 360+ days of busy hustle and bussle everyday life. Thank you for all gifts, thoughts, ideas, and conversations.

I think I have said enough here for now, as I find myself having so many ideas right now that I fear I could make this go on all night. That wouldn't be good for you or me. Have a great night world, I think we will be talking again soon.

Love and Peace!
