Whew, the Christmas rush is over. The adventure yesterday was dealing with the massive amount of snow. We got somewhere between 1 to 3 feet of snow. In order to go from my mom’s house to the grand family gathering, it took roughly 30 minutes of 4 us of shoveling snow to get the driveway cleared out. That didn’t include getting the snow off my car (as we didn’t use it).
Then we got to spend some time with the extended family which was great. I did get a chance to sit with an uncle who listened to me about things that have been going on for me. In the end, I think he gave me some great insight into something that had been bothering me. How did he do it? He used he own kid and her mate as the example. Somehow it made sense in my head and it’s giving me something by which I can attempt to base a different rationalization to a series of things I’ve gone thru recently.
There’s obviously a good reason to have family in your life. They are there to be a voice of reason or a sounding board, as they have your best interest in mind. At least mine does and that gives me a great feeling. I think another thing that was interesting is that everyone was generally surprised by my emotional state over it. What was the general response? Oh yeah… “wow, that’s not your usual m.o.” The fact that I heard that numerous times from friends and family means something is strangely different in my head. Go figure.
Then came a stop at my dad’s house for some dinner and a few more presents. We knew a storm was coming in and realized we had overstayed. Thus came the drive home. My mom started us off, however she was having some issues seeing out of her car with all the snow coming down. So we stopped on the side of the highway where I took over the driving responsibility. It was nearly a white out. No snow plows, and a few brave souls attempting to drive the canyon. We made it home with seeing only one car having gone off the side of the freeway. Not bad.
With the new rationale in my head, I’m going to start attacking things more in the new year. I think I lost a bit of my spark in 2008, but I’m already climbing back. I’ll be posing some questions to friends in the next couple of days in order to start putting some things in motion for some ideas I have.
To me, that’s Tres Cool.
No, I’m not particularly going to start going all dance electro on ya. But it is a vastly different style and because I’m feeling quite different today, I figured it’s as good a day as any to make a change. As it’s said, every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. Which is very true.
What grabs me about this track is the instant definition of the rhythm. Right from the start it smacks you with a desire to start boppin around. At least it does for me. I’m really drawn in by the production there is no doubt about that. Mostly because I’m not a big time club goer. However, this is a fun tune and I could imagine being out on a floor bouncing around with a drink in my hand while dancin with a girl or two or more.
Definitely something I need to do is get out more. Not necessarily to dance clubs, but I do need to be more social than I already am. That’s one of my resolutions for 2009. Get more social. How about you?
