Inspiration

My friend Jason thinks that his rants and raves are exactly the things to turn people off to blogs and cause them to "wince". I, however, would like to correct that by saying that his blog has inspired my own. I mean, I already have a completely fake online personality, so I figured I need somewhere where I can actually be real. Hence, this space.

Today was a completely productive day! I managed to *finally* get my W2s and go to H&R Block, got my car inspected (and it passed...amazingly. for details, read on), and found someone to change my brake pads and rotors for FREE (yes, the guys at Monroe, who I usually despise I should add, were kind to me and passed me without charging me $210 to fix my brakes. They told me that they need to be changed immediately though and suggested I find a friend to do the work for free! Doug of Monroe Muffler, you are my new best friend! Thank you for having a heart...for once.) Then I hung out with my friend Brad Frank and this was the most productive time of all! I had such a nice time with him tonite! We sat around and looked at a bunch of pictures he's taken over the years...Brad's a really good photographer, he's never had any class or training in it, but he just takes these beautiful shots all the time, without even trying it seems! He had some photos, that other friends of his had taken, framed and hanging on his walls, so I decided that we should go thru his own pictures, pick out the best ones, find the negatives, and plan a little art project where we go and have them blown up and framed. Then we did some reminiscing, drank hot tea, and watched Garden State. It was a lovely nite.

By the way, for those who may be interested, Brad Frank is actually the one behind THIS. Pure Genius! Many thanks to you, Brad!
