this weekend i just kind of bummed around. i watched some dvds, finished reading a book (cash by johnny cash, and it was excellent), did some stuff around the house, nothing too exciting. i watched the entire first season of that show ‘how i met your mother’. i started watching it almost at the end of last season, so watching it from the beginning was good. i am convinced after watching the first season, that had my friend andy and i been living in NYC, we’d have been ted and barney. you have to know my friend andy to realize how much barney he actually is, on down to the snappy wardrobe and the sayings. i think the writers may have met andy a couple of years ago and based the character on him. when i first met andy, i thought his house was decorated too nice, and that we wouldn’t be friends, but that all changed the more i got to know him. then i’m ted (but i wouldn’t have been stupid enough to dump victoria, especially like how it went down!), in ways that i’ll not describe here. i guess when my friend len got engaged, i just kind of lost whatever safety net i had about being single. i had a group going in 2003 that i loved. and then everyone either got married or moved to houston by the middle of 2005. all that was okay, and i’ve met some great people since then, but i don’t have a group i can call to hang out except one night a week, and even then, sometimes i get “sorry, hangin with the wife tonight.”

i guess that’s why i’ve set goals for this year to do things i have not done before, like go to the grand canyon. i want something to happen this year that makes it memorable, something life changing. i’m sick of being bored.
