Long Time, No Blog

In efforts to keep with my 'post-promise', I'm trying to find some thoughts to write down on this late Sunday/early Monday update:

I went to Starke, Florida with my friend Cheryl Miller for the weekend. It was fun and we had a good time. I hung out w/ her younger siblings and I played the Super Nintendo quite a bit (Mario All Stars!!! We played Super Mario 3, yeah). I hung out with her sister Rebecca's boyfriend, Jeremy. I stayed at his place on Friday night in Jacksonville and stayed up late, told male-bonding stories, and watched Office Space (hilarious movie, by the way). On Saturday we went to Gainesville. We went to the mall, Texas Roadhouse, and a bunch of stores (Old Navy being one of which). I was very much disgusted by the amount of corporate capitalism that was present there. I understand my views on fashion, fiction, and most media outlets differ from everyone else's, but there was so much crap that was being marketed in that commerce that I actually felt weird. Maybe it's because I'm the only one who feels this way (I know I'm not really, but I'm a minority). Or because I feel like no one (especially the people I care about and really want to understand me) really understands my perspective on the whole thing. Today I drove home to Melbourne, after lunch at the Miller's. Some things I would like to accomplish this week (in no certain order):

~ Blog ~
~ Have a good, honest, long quiet time ~
~ Hang out with Tara Howard ~
~ Hang out with the Melbourne Boyz: Nick, Bryan, and Thomas~
~ Take my Grandma grocery shopping (i love hanging out with her, she's a rad ol' gal)~
~ Take my Grandma to my Grandpa's grave and put some flowers out~
~ Have lunch with the Intersil crew (where I worked the past two summers)~
~ Mow my parent's yard~
~ Visit my pond that I haven't seen in like 10 years (it's the pond at the end of our 5.5 acres of land)~
~ Eat at some very Melbourne Beach areas (Pizzaro's Pizza)~
~ Watch some digital cable that my parents are paying for~
~ Do stuff that I cannot due because I live 8 hours away from my parents~

That's pretty much it. I will try to update you guys on the happening of my week long Melbourne life daily. Until then, carry on with the task...
