New years post

So for my anniversary we went over to my folks house. Me and Barb, my brother and his wife, and my parents all have the same anniversary date.
We had a great time there, the highlight of the evening being a gift my parents gave to Ryan. It was a Spider-man mask and glove that had a mechanisim in it to shoot Silly-string out in 3 streams. For a few breif minutes Ryan was magically and completely transformen into Spider-man ( his hero ).
I mean here he was dressed up like Spider-man and low-and-behold he could SHOOT WEB FROM HIS HANDS.
My description falls completely short the event but he was the perfect picture of unadulterated childehood joy.

Later all the kids went to Garnetts house and me and Barb went out to celibrate not only New Years but also our anniversary.
Well here in this 3 million plus hick town there was almost nothing open on our side of town, sure there were the block parties but to hell with that. Raving 20 year old drunks don't do much for me anymore as well as the crowds and the expense ( getting crotchedy I guess.)

Well we found a little place on Indian School that was open, of course there was Karaoke. Barb is an accomplished musician and I love music, so Karaoke is normally not our kind of night, but we went in anyway.
There were of course a few renditions of good music done poorly ( one that stands out was Evanescence wich should not be in a karaoke book ). Well it was busy and we had not touched our drinks really ( we also didn't like the fact that is was kind of a white upper-middle class bar, we both enjoy diversity.).
Then this SEVERELY obese woman decides to start singing NIN "Closer". Now being "caloricly challenged" myself I am NOT making fun of her weight, ( in fact it was very sad).
But when the pretentious, drunk, women who is so obese she has to sing sitting down because singing and standing at the same time is too much physical exertion starts SCREAMING off key "I want to fuck you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside" it's time for me to go. So we went.

We went down to the break room where karaoke was also playing but oddly enough it was GOOD, the people could actually sing. I don't like rap at all and there was a guy there just bringing down the house rapping I actually like listening to him because he was so good.
While I was there Im drank as much water as I could stomach and took vitamin B when I got home ( somehow large doses of B vitamins protect you from a lot of the damaging effects of alcohol.)
Then we walked home leaving the van there.

I knew I wanted to celibrate, and I knew this one night wasn't going to end my fitness routine in fact I vowed it not too. So I got up Monday and worked out without the slightest hint of hangover. But it wouldn't have mattered how good or bad I felt I would have still worked out.

Well me and Barb have not had a door on our bedroom for a while so our "adult time" has been diminished wich has been more than a little frustrating to me.
So we did large amounts of very very dirty and quite possibly illegal things to each other for several hours.
I finished putting the door up today.

It really was a good way to start the year, me and Barb have been through some pretty serious stress and we made it out much stronger and closer to each other.
I have started a new fitness program that takes out any guess work and I have some concrete fitness goals. And somehow it seems I finally eliminated the procrastination demon as far as workouts go ( wish I could have done that when I was 17 ).
Love the new direction things are heading, hell I like the fact that I have direction at all.

Peace, love, and success to all as always.
