I ask for a bone, I got an Ipod

      Back to my happy thought of the week: My Ipod. I don't think people realize how much this Ipod from Roe meant to me. I was seriously having the worst week ever, I felt like Peterman from Office Space. "Everyday you see me, that's the worst day of my life..." thats the week I had been having... and it was only wednesday. Work's been a drag, I know I shouldn't complain, but it has and to say anything else would be dishonest. Its a whole miriad of problems that I'm trying my best to ignore and not let it get me down, but it was taking its toll on me. That and I've been sick this week, so it was a one two combo. But roe, calls me up, and handed me something that brought my spirits up. I mean it was just one of those times where you're throwing your arms up in the air and begging for God to throw you a bone... he threw me an Ipod. It was great, and totally unexpected. That and the wife made this killer pasta dish that had me ooing and ahhing, it was fabulous. So through food and music my spirts were lifted. I know that's materialistic and stupid in a sense, but I think God knew what little thing would make me happy, and as long as I see that the blessings in life are from him and through my friends and family I think I have the right perspective.

On the U2 tickets front:
I hopped on Ticketmaster to see if for some odd reason some atlanta tickets might have shown up. They hadn't but two st. louey tickets showed up, 100 bucks each behind the stage. That's a bit much for behind the stage, though I thought... well might be worth it. Then i looked at the date, december 14th, and realized thats pretty darn close to christmas, and its in the middle of the week. We spend Christmas with the inlaws in Macon so that would require some massive traveling in December and I don't think I want to drive all the way to St. Louey in the middle of the week then have to turn around and come back to work for a day or two and then go to Macon. I checked out Ebay, but no atlanta tickets were up that were decently priced. They were all a bit more than I wanted to pay. Nose bleeds for 100 bucks per ticket. We'll see, maybe in a few months i'll have a better job and the wife will be rakin in the dough as a teacher. Until then I can just dream a little dream.
