Well, the saga appears to be coming to an end. Over the last month or so, my sister, Val, and her fiancé have been going through a rather odd breakup. Franko and her have been together for twelve years and it seems like Val woke up one morning 5 weeks ago and just decided that was the day she was going to just start over with her life from scratch ( Read more... )

Really, it's been one of those slow weeks. I'm only really writing an entry so that people don't think I've forgotten I have a blog (Which is something I can't say for 90% of my Friends List. Where are all you guys ( Read more... )

Okay, so, last entry I talked about how my sister, Val, is apparently breaking up with her fiancé and boyfriend of the last twelve years, Franko. Tuesday night the plot thickened. Val came home from work and the couple had an altercation over their Xbox 360. Val ended up dragging the video game console up to their bedroom, locking the door behind ( Read more... )

How about yesterday's Super Bowl? The people I watched it with wanted the Giants to win, so I became a fan by default. I mean, I'm not huge into football (I typically watch only for the commercials) but it was one of those rare games with such controversy that I was caught up in it all the way to the end. Seems word on the street is that the ( Read more... )

Wow, my New Year's entry was fairly depressing, wasn't it? Yow. One last emo-hurrah before the year finished up, ehh? Well, what I didn't really talk about back then was what was going on around here and I've kind of gone almost two weeks since New Years, so I probably have a lot to talk about. Let's hit some big topics first ( Read more... )

I've let too much time go by without making an entry. Two weeks? That's pretty bad. It's been a busy two weeks too. My brother, Ryan, came home from college in Minnesota with his cat ten days ago and all is well. It's good to have him back, but it's strange too because everyone seems to be tugging at him to hang out when all he wants to do is catch ( Read more... )

On Wednesday, Val and Franko took off on a 10-day winter-vacation to Orlando. They're gonna try to hit all the major theme parks and even hopefully attend a Space Shuttle launch on Sunday (Unless they delay the launch again). Franko gave Val a serious, professional digital camera as an early Christmas gift so that they could get great shots of the ( Read more... )

Well, this year, I broke with tradition and opted out of joining the huddled masses yearning to spend money during the Black Friday holiday sales. Yea, I know, I'm not hard core unless I spend 10 hours standing in a line freezing my fuzzy bunny butt all to buy a $12 flash drive. But for crying out loud, the deals this year sucked!! Where's the 500 ( Read more... )

What a busy few days I've had! Well, busy being wacky. On Saturday, Val and Franko gave me an early Christmas gift: A three-month subscription to Xbox Live so I can spend the holidays playing Halo 3 online alongside them and my brother, Ryan, when he comes home from college next month. Already, I've spent a good chunk of the last few days playing ( Read more... )

Val and Franko have weekend-game season tickets for Portland's Blazers NBA basketball team. This last weekend, Val didn't want to go to the Dallas game so I went in her place. It's always nice to see a major sports event- I love the crowds and the energy and the noise. It's always a blast. Towards the end of the game, a couple arena staffers with ( Read more... )
