oh danny boy

at work again. hopefully nothing goes bad today because i'm an inch away from quitting this wretched job. of all the things i did not want to come back to in utah, this was on the top of the list. made it back last night though with just enough time to unpack the u-haul for my mom. she officially is a utahan, or whatever we are called.

my last night in denver rocked. we went to some smoky little bar and sang karaoke. i vowed to myself i'd never be caught dead singing, but sure enough i was up there belting out buddy holly. gonna try and convince kim to maybe hit up some while we are here in utah so that when we go back out to the CO we'll be rock stars.

here is the official x-mas list that i received or co-received (kim being the other):

miles davis - kind of blue
john coltrain - the very best of (impulse records)
dolce and gabbana cologne
christmas scrapbook made by lia
chicken or turkey cooker or something
crocheted blanket made by ma
paper shredder
beard trimmer thing
burton hoodie
SF 1000 piece puzzle
the hunt for red october
the man with no name trilogy
swat
huge set of plates, etc.
huge set of silverware
snowboarding socks
neck warmer thing for snowboarding
volcom hat
scrub pad for when i do the dishes
u2 - how to dismantle an atomic bomb
napoleon dynamite
slackers
towel with mi nombre embroidered on
fancy dancy hair products
2 front rockford fosgates for my jeep
jerry mcguire
the girl next door
eurotrip
and my snowboard that i kinda got as an early present back in like november.

so i think that's it. so much stuff happened on the trip and i'll just have to write it down as i remember. i always have the image of me keeping the blog up to date while i'm out there, but it never seems to work out that way. went snowboarding at breckinridge and copper mountain. might go up this weekend or next. somehow i actually got decent on the trip.

thoughts of the day: mcdonalds has to be hitler's spawn. they could give a rats about quality of food and care so much about cutting costs that you can see the changes on a daily basis (no napkins, condiments, salt/pepper, size of food, cup sizes, rising prices, no cool happy meal boxes anymore and toys, etc.). i hadn't eaten there since probably the beginning of last year. then in denver i ate a double cheeseburger with karen and also ate another last night at ma's house. they are soooooo dang good. so good. my mouth is wet with a craving for another. but whatever you do, don't give in!!! satan leads this vile corporation. thou shalt surely burn in the fiery pits of hell if you take another bite. even though hell never tasted so good, go to chipotle instead. or good times for that matter (100% colorado beef so i hear). for those without such delicacies, carls jr/hardees might be a better option. i think i have an even better idea. how bout we all eat at home fatties! (myself very much included).

good to be home, just sad that home is still in utah.

p.s. mystery commenter: you intrigue me with your words. you've even made me think about my own little actions which is a rare thing to do. who is this masked marauder who speaks words that have never been more trueer?
