Daily Update: 'Super Tuesday' Edition

Yes, thats right. Right now, at this moment I am a powerful person, and it is because I have already Voted. I won't go as far as Evan's Blog as to endorse a particular candidate yet, but I will say that I wore my NRA t-shirt to the Polls! It bothered a few people, but They're not allowed to campaign within 100 feet of the polling place, so they couldn't try to argue with me, because that would be considered 'Campaigning', so I had them beat. And when they tried following me to my car, turns out that I had parked within that 100 feet radius. And both I and they knew this because 'someone' had strategically placed chalk distances on the ground leading up to my automobile, and my car door was only 86' from the Polling door, so I smiled at them as I drove off. So now I proudly wear my 'I voted' Sticker. And I did that all right when I got up, before work, and I was actually on time today!

Last night I didn't quite make it to FHE. But instead a few of us went to what I now call 'JJHE', or 'JJCEE'. Which is 'Jim-Jeff-Chris Event Evening'. It was great. So we were going to El Cholo for mexican food. On the way over we ran into Cheryl, and we talked her out of going to 'Speed-dating' and into 'Getting Food' with the guys. Danny came with too, which made it a well rounded evening. The second we got there, Jeff started 'working his magic' with the much younger hostesses. Enough so to the point of the rest of us just walking away, so we didn't 'interfere'. I had to go back a minute after he was 'done' and put our group on the list. The food was just as good as the place downtown. We spent the whole time gossiping about everyone that we knew... but NO ONE that reads this, so you are safe :)

Then even later in the evening, I went over to Fairburn to help Bethany learn German. In her quest to learn every language on the planet, I figured it was the least I could do to help her out and since I have a masterful knowledge of the language, I was indeed the best person to help her. It was difficult to teach her at this moment, although needed, because she had just come back from the twitterpating Speed Dating experience, also due to the late hour, and she normally goes to bed I think at 8pm and it was 9pm when I got there.

I had a brief moment to work on The Painting again last night. I was still interested in exploring the color Blue, so I continued with that theme, and dove right into the water, just like I had literally done last September when I was there. Oh it was so cool/cold. The paint brought back the salty taste in my mouth, it brought back the physical exhaustion from having hiked all day, and it also brought back the memories of Ryan's I-talian Beach Babe 'friends'. As my brush would flow up and down, I could also feel myself wading in the clear crystal blue water all over again. For a minute there, I even had to fend off the annoying sea gulls from diving into the gently painted water and smearing it. The lush blues, and the avid green hues are enough to take your breath away. Its not near complete, but its a good first step for the water. After I I'll probably end up re-doing the water as the last step like I normally do anyway.

At work today I was talking with Collins, and apparently he had a 'Big Bertha' story times 2 at his party! We joked all about how funny it was for most of the day.

Lunch was sponsored by In N Out.

I'm listening to Flogging Molly right now.
