many ramblings
For some reason I just feel like updating....not exactly sure why though, considering I have nothing to update.
Valentine's Day is over for yet another year. This is a holiday that makes no sense to me. What exactly is the point of it? To hug your loved one and be close to them all day? If so, then it just doesn't make any sense because this is supposed to happen throughout the whole year, not just on one day. The only difference that I can see is that gifts are supposed to be given. Which I suppose isn't that bad, because you can now get them those gifts that you forgot about at Christmas (if your forgetful like me and many other people I know).
The Daytona 500 is this Sunday. This is a good thing, since football is now over, it will give me something else to follow when I'm sitting here at work bored out of my mind.
Jenn and I have both came to the conclusion that we don't want our kids going to Harbor Beach or Lakers. We went to the soup supper and basketball game this past Friday with my parents at Lakers, and it was unbelievably weird being back in that building. To put it bluntly, I didn't like it. I constantly felt that people were watching me or something. I think that with my younger brothers going there now, this affects this feeling. Because all of his friends look at me and say, "hey, that's winkel's older brother." Just like what we used to do in high school. And also just like we used to do, we'd talk about them. I know that I shouldn't care about what they are saying, as I'm not in high school anymore, plus I just don't really care what people think about me anymore, however, it is like as if I convert back to my high school days, where I really did care what people thought of me. I think a lot of it has to do with it being so close to my mom and dad's place though, because up there, everybody knows everybody, so everybody talks about everybody with everybody. So I wonder if what they are saying is good or bad. It really bugs me though that I just can't get over it. Getting back to my first sentence of this paragraph, if we are living up there, we'll probably send our kids to caseville. That way they can dominate while playing sports. :)
As a side note, I saw Beth Kurzer the other night while walking out of Meijer. It was a very....odd meeting. For one, she has lost quite a bit of weight, or got a lot taller, not to mention that she has a new boyfriend. We didn't talk long, but she seemed like she was doing pretty well. It was odd though, because we were pretty good friends in high school, and then when I saw her on Sunday, I felt like I didn't even know her, I just knew who she was. I think that's how it would go with most of the people I went to high school with. It was the same way when I saw Jeff Dubs at the basketball game on Friday. I felt like I didn't even know him, even though we knew so much about each other in high school. Weird how people can grow apart like that.
Lastly, my spring break consists of Feb. 28th through March 4th, and I'm thinking about going up to visit Curt Walz either sometime over spring break, or else the weekend of March 4-6. If anybody wants to come along, just let me know.
