Daily Dreaming

Christmas came and went.  It def. didn’t feel like Christmas, maybe it was because I had to work then hop on a prop job, last minute plane to come home.  Even the lights we normally look at every year were out.  It was somewhat very anit-climactic.  It was nice to be home with the family though, as fast as it went. 

Once I got back, it was back to the proverbial grindstone that is work.  One thing about the holidays is that it reminded me how much I miss my Campbell family.  Yes, I know, another diatribe about how much I miss everyone, but it’s true.  I haven’t been able to see them like I wanted to with a combination of visits from me and them, but it’s time that’s the problem, no one has any.  With work, school, travel and life to get in the way, it’s hard to see people that live five hours away.  But we still have love, no matter how far. 

Congrats to Laura-Kate and Andrew on their nuptuals, as well as Dan and Jennifer.  Geez, it must be something in the water down there.  I’ll be sure to bring my own water next time I visit.

Song of the day:

Come Back Down by Lifehouse (www.lifehousemusic.com)  I heard this song and thought of mine and Michelle’s adventures with Lifehouse.

Here’s a reminder of those adventures:

 
                 Rick, Drums                             Jason, Lead Singer
 
                  Ben, Guitar                                    Bryce, Bass

Staring right back in the face
A memory can’t be erased
I know, because I tried
Start to feel the emptiness
And everything I’m gonna miss
I know, that I can’t hide

When you come back down
If you land on your feet
I hope you find a way to make it back to me
When you come around
I’ll be there for you
Don’t have to be alone with what you’re going through

So…I’ve realized that I’m bored.

Not bored with my job, DC, my friends, my apt., anything like that.  I’m just bored.  It’s the kind of bored that led me to jump out of an airplane.  So, needless to say, this is the type of boredom that needs to be handled in a delicate manner.  Mostly because it’s too cold and too expensive to skydiving right now.  I wanna go to New York…that’s what I wanna do. 

Song of the day:

Out Tonight by Mimi Marquez (character in Rent) (www.siteforrent.com)

     
      (The Broadway Cast)                      (The Movie Cast)

Whats the time?
Well it’s gotta be close to midnight
My body’s talking to me
It say,’Time for danger’

Please take me out tonight
Don’t forsake me - out tonight
I’ll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight

So yes, Heather is right, I haven’t posted anything new in quite some time.  Well, here goes…

My foot hurts like hell.  I have Planters Fasciitis in my left heel, and distressed tendons in my left foot, heel and ankle.  Know why…well my doctor said I’m just on my feet too much.  Imagine that!  So, because I’m disabled in my left foot, I have had to quit the wonderful world of retail.  Sad day, but I think I’ll live. 

So work is fine other wise.  I have to limp around the newsroom until I go home for my air cast, but it’s no big deal. 

Fun times:
Bob: How are you Brian?
Brian: I’m uh…I’m interesting.
Me: It’s a good way to be. 
Oh the fun times in News Research.

So I’m pulling stuff out of nowhere to make this blog Heather worthy…how am I doin?

I guess that’s it.  I should get back to being productive.  I found out that the wonderful Puter people at the post can see everything we do on the computers in the newsroom, so I’m thinking that blog updating isn’t quite working on a news related issue.

Movie of the Moment:

Rent The motion picture of the Broadway hit ‘Rent’
(http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/rent/)

I felt the
Faint trace of thunder
But there’s no sign of rain anywhere
No, there’s no sign of you anywhere

This time, I’m naming names, I’m being specific…CHAD…WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!  He never reads this so he won’t get mad… 

Chad, one of my two best friends of like almost ten years, will be leaving for Paris Island (Marine Boot Camp) on Monday.  Now, I know..it’s not that big of a deal.  I know several people that have gone through it all, boot camp, combat, etc, but never someone this close to me.  My hardest thing about it all is the fact that one of my jobs at the Post is the info and photo research for “Faces of the Fallen,” a feature honoring the fallen solidiers of Operation Iraqi Freedom, or if you ask me, Operation This is a big waste of time, money and people.  My biggest fear is that one day, I’m working on it and his name appears on my list of fallen soldiers.  I don’t even want to think about it right now.  There’s no crying in the newsroom.

Just keep him in your prayers and everyone else in combat right now.
