Day 13

As I mentioned on the last show, I just got made permanent at my job. So today there was a little ceremony where they introduced all the new permanent hires at the weekly company meeting. The company CEO brought me up to say a few awkward words and this was what I came up with, “Hey it’s great to be here. I love [this company]. I love Christmas. Oh…and I love to party!”

Did it get a laugh? Yes. But immediately after he took the mic away, I wished I had waited a beat after he put the mic in my face and said…

It might not have gone over that great, but what a great moment!

Day 12

YouTube recently posted a video called “2013 Rewind.” Sort of a mish-mash of all the big events from the past year. I recognized so few things, it’s more than a little sad. I recon=gnized maybe 4 songs in there, a few faces, and a couple viral videos. It’s not like I don’t spend time on the internet. I’m online for hours everyday both for work and pleasure. Yet somehow, mot of this still past me by. How about you? Do you remember this crap?

Day 10

Tonight I finally got it all the decorating done. Last year, I think our outside lights were up for a total of 5 days because I didn’t get around to putting them up. But this year, oh this year we’ve got lights baby! Look at this good stuff.

Whew…now I can relax…except I haven’t done any shopping for anyone on my list yet.

AW CRAP!!!

Day 9

Hey everybody. This is a test blog. I’m not actually typing this into anything I’m talking into my phone as I drive to work. Easy I’m running late with today’s blog and this weeks episode of 10 cast. So I decided I would talk my blog into my phone and see if will be good enough to post as my blog. But I have a feeling, that is going to be riddled with errors and really hard to understand. But the most important thing I wanted to talk about on my blog today was that I need your help. Matt Sweet, Noah and I will be busy so we can’t record an episode. So I wanted to ask you people, what do you think we should do for our blank episode? We can’t do another episode of call waiting because we don’t have time to get together. I was thinking of doing a best out of our holiday shows, or I could do a high-five list of songs we left out of our hi5 favorite Christmas carols. Or we can do another idea that you guys think up. What do you think?

Wow, Siri just read that back to me and it blog sounds like a train wreck. You know what, I’m in a leave it like that, and will call this experiment of failure. I’ll update with corrections when I get home.

Day 8 BONUS!!!
I Could have waited a day and made this tomorrow’s blog, but no. This could not wait. This is what the holidays are all about. This is why God gave us his only son, because he knew one day we would have Star Trek and the internet and make this glorious video.

If that doesn’t fill you with Christmas spirit, not even the ghosts of Christmas past present and future will help you get it back.

Day 8

I swear I wasn’t going to go political in December. I was going to try and make all these blogs about Christmas, Christmas carols, Christmas movies, Christmas shopping, etc. But then the anniversary of the attack on Pear Harbor happened after Nelson Mandela died. In case you weren’t aware, President Barack Obama ordered the flags be flown at half mast for a few days in remembrance of Nelson Mandela. How did that lead to a squabble on Facebook? Read on! (Note: My Facebook friend’s name and image have been replaced with Mr. Potter from “It’s A Wonderful Life.” This is to (a) protect their identity and (b) technically squeeze a Christmas reference into this blog)

As we all know, no one has ever changed a political opinion because some jerk-ass comedian argued with them on Facebook. So I just let this go by with out commenting…ah who are we kidding?

Great comment there, Tim. Except you’ve got the facts exactly wrong. Pretty much every president since FDR has ordered the flags flown at half mast on December 7th. Thankfully, Potter deleted my comment so very few people aw it. So as long as I don’t draw attention…

Ok…well, I guess that’s fine. You called yourself out on your own timeline. I guess that’s integrity? Well at least the incident is over so we can put this whole business behind us…

Oh COME ON! You passive-aggressive tool bag! Look, stop trying to blindly defend “your team.” Obama ordered the flags at half mast for Mandela and ignored Pearl Harbor. And he….

What? Oh no, Potter saw this and commented? Tim continued to argue? This can’t be good…

Oh so Obama DID acknowledge Pearl Harbor and did order flags flown at half mast. Well…just because you were right doesn’t mean you’re not a douche, Tim.

Day 7

So yesterday was my day off and I was going to put up the outside Christmas lights. Originally I was going to do it during my son’s nap. But then all that napping looked like so much fun that I decided to get in on it. I figured I could put them up later in the evening after he went to bed. Besides, I wanted to grab some hooks from the store first anyway.

Cut to 8pm last night and as my son climbed in bed, rain was pissing down on our house.

…so I guess I’ll wait until he naps today? At least I went to the store and got the hooks last night.*

*Of course I didn’t

Day 6

I know your Facebook and Twitter feeds are probably clogged with people kvetching about how cold it is, but I have to join the chorus. It is flippin’ cold! I’m wearing two shirts and a sweatshirt as I type this and I’m STILL cold.

It sucks especially for my wife and son who are sick. We had to by a mini-space heater for the poor little guy’s room.

Someone kindly inform mother nature that this is California and we don’t have any need of this cold business. Send that crap to Canada. They’ll love it.
