Afroman hits home

(sung to the tune of the Afroman hit)
I was gonna come over last night until I got high,
I was gonna check out your new xbox but then I got high,
Now I'm sitting at home not calling you back, and I know why (why man),
cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
la da da da la da da la la da da.

(n8's verse)
I was gonna woop your ass at Madden until I got high,
I was gonna drink all your beer until I got high,
Now Gus is playin solo, and we all know why (why man),
cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
doo, doo, doo, doo da doo, doo da di,

Addiction

Hi everybody. My name is n8 b and I'm addicted to myspace.
Seriously.
I thought I would sign up and just kind of surf around checkin out all my friends pages. How wrong I was. By day two I was obsessed with upping the number of my friends, adding music to my page, postin new pics, etc. This thing is very evil.
That being said, if you're on there add me to your friends. If you're not and you want to stay sane, DO NOT sign up. It's worse than crack I tell you (well from what I've heard). But if you're not signed up and have a few hundred hours to waste, by all means sign up and let's be friends. Except for you Nancy Smoot. Go breed your hate elsewhere.
Sorry I haven't been posting. I was gonna blame it on the hustle and bustle of the holidaze, but that would be lying. And that's wrong. Just plain wrong. I promise to post more often.
I *sour patch kid* all of you.

No More Driving, No Kids!!

I survived my first official Christmas as a married man, barely. I have always considered myself a Christmas type of guy. I enjoyed driving through neighborhoods looking at the lights, spending time with family. A regular Clark Griswald. I don't know anymore though and I am not sure if it was just all of the running around this year, the changes in family dynamics or if I am just becoming a grinch....

Running Around...
I know that driving to family events, shopping malls and traffic are all part of the holiday season, but this year, it seemed to really piss me off. I found myself cussing out grandmas who have no business on the road rather than ignoring the idiots and decrepit and listening to Christmas music on that channel that plays non-stop holiday music for a month. I seriously almost knocked a guy out because he was actually blocking the entrance to parking for the whole mall and NO ONE was pulling out of a spot.

Family Dynamics...
Usually, my Christmas Eve is spent with my mom's family and Christmas Day with my dad's family. This year, being married, there were two more families to visit, which not only means more running around, it also mean that you get to hear this..."When are the kids coming?" Oh and don't forget about this, "You better take care of her!" coming from the all of the family members that you have never met because they aren't allowed out of the house except for holidays. The other problem is that now that I am older, my cousins are having kids. Although, the 4 "kids" ranging from 6 months to 4 years old are all very cute, I realize more and more that after 10 minutes, cuteness falls to annoying. Nothing says get me out of here like picking up a kid and discovering that there is now piss on your shirt and pants.

So is it just me? I hope it was just this year and next year I will be my normal "Dicko Claus" self.

what did you get for christmas?

I'm always curious about presents. My Christmas was looking bleak between work stress and present buying stress and funerals, but it turned out okay. I got a new jacket and some simpsons dvds and some books and of course I bought myself a Xbox360. Plus I took Abby shopping and to dinner and a movie at Cinetopia in Vancouver. And Abby took care of a lot of the shopping and I think everyone liked what we got them, which is important too me.

Cinetopia was a little spendy, but the snacks are reasonable and you can take those and pizza or other food into the theatres, plus its really loud, really big screens, big comfy chairs with plenty of leg room, and we went into the restaurant and wine bar, which is really upscale. They serve food in portions to share at $7-$15 and you order a few different ones (or 5 like us, we were hungry) and then get some overpriced (but very good) wine, and get full and drunk before the movie. It was nice. (although I spent over $100, you could easily get away with $30-50 without the wine)

We saw the Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe, the Chronicles of Narnia, and that movie was great. Good for kids although young kids might get scared at the battle scene cause they show some close-ups of some really scary and ugly looking creatures. But there is no blood and no sex and no cussing, so older children should be fine. It's a great story and really good special effects.
