SQUIRREL!!! Nooooooooo!!
This morning I got up and pulled one of my 365 things this morning and yesterday’s post was sorta foreshadowing to today’s thing. Before I read it let me tell you what happened this morning.
I got up this morning to take Toby, our dog, for his morning walk. So I decided to take a different route and kind of mixed it up. As we were turning a corner on the sidewalk I heard some scampering on the roof top of one of the apartments in our development. I looked up and I saw two squirrels running across the rooftop. One of them had a piece of food or something in his mouth. I noticed them running and they were getting closer and closer to the edge and I thought to myself, “SQUIRREL(for you all that have seen Pixar, “UP”) you gonna run out of room, what you gonna do!!!?!?! So this squirrel leaps off the side of the roof towards the tree! I’ve seen squirrels do this plenty of times and I was like, “Man, squirrels are awesome they can…” at that moment the squirrel missed the branch and I just sat there thinking, “Oh my god! Noooooooo!!”. The squirrel hit the ground and the other squirrel was at the edge of the roof just looking down. I didn’t go look to see if he lived or died because I didn’t want to crush my morning. Maybe I’m a bad person for not checking but also in my mind if I didn’t see that he died then I won’t know if he did. Squirrels are amazing creatures and I love seeing them when they play.
You may ask how does this pertain to my thing of the day and I’ll answer honestly I don’t know but it makes me thankful that I’m a human and I have someone like Renee in my life. Today’s thing is:
“63. You stuck by me. Through everything…”
It’s funny I pulled this one because I was telling her the same thing last night how thankful I am that she stuck by me through so much and she does. Renee you’re a remarkable woman and I can’t wait until November 21, 2009 to say “Yes, yes and yes” to being your husband and I love you so much.
You all have a wonderful day and I’ll type to you tomorrow if not later.

The Camera Man
So this weekend I started watching “This American Life” Season 1. Got to Episode 4 titled “The Camera Man” it spoke about a young man whose step dad was Frank Garcia from the band “OXO” they had one Top 40s Hit named “Whirly Girl”.
So the thing with “This American Life” for me is that sometimes it hits closer to home than expecting. This show brought out a lot of past memories of growing up and certain things that happened and also made me thankful for things that didn’t happen. I really finished the episode thinking “Wow…just wow” I’m very thankful for where I am in life right now. Even when around me people are acting crazy and stupid stuff is happening I know that I can look to my “True North”, the nickname that I gave Renee to find solitude and calmness. If you haven’t listened to or watched “This American Life” I highly recommend it. Also if you have Netflix you can watch it direct off their site. It’s really really awesome. If you watch movies and spend about 10 bucks at blockbuster a month you should try out Netflix it’s really awesome and I’ve been enjoying it. Even though our Bluray player is in the shop we can still watch some movies we want to see online.

This morning!!!
So after a brisk walk with Toby we were finishing up the walk I was going to go throw his p00p into the dumpster (yes we are good dog owners and pick up after our dog.) and this is what I saw.
Dumpster diving at it’s best!!!!! I looked in the back of their truck and they already made a few hug scores one being a nice push lawn mower! Our complex has like a total of six dumpsters so I’m sure this crew of two find our place a gold mine!
So after having burbon slushies for the first time at the couple’s shower I felt like living on the edge and making Renee and myself “The Breakfast of Champions!” here’s the winning photo shot with the lead singer from Gorillaz. 2d
So you ask…what is that? I tell you a tall glass of milk and Chocolate cookies!!! oh *NOM NOM NOM* now to figure out what it is I want to cook tonight!

The Future Soon
So for the past three days I’ve bee singing Jonathan Coulton’ song “The Future Soon”. It’s a song about a geek kid in class that is in love with a girl. He sends her a letter to tell her that he loves her. She laughs then runs off with a “better” guy. So he daydreams (or does he) about how he re-engineers his body taking away all the “imperfections” and replaces them with cyborg parts so that he could be perfect.
He also creates a robot army and OH NOES!!! His love is caught in the midst of the battle losing her eyes, which he replaces. Does she love him in the end or is it forced love? Here’s a created video for the song.
I think I been listening to this song a lot lately because I remember I used to be that guy back in the day. I wasn’t the coolest kid…at least that’s what I’ve felt. I’m very thankful to be in a relationship where I do not feel like I have to replace my “imperfections”. I know there’s been plenty of times I told Renee that I wish I could just cut my stomach off or just fix my cowlick or something. She loves me regardless and I feel the same for her very much her.
So my words of wisdom would be wait for that one that loves you for your imperfections and perfections.
