The Return of Bob, and the finding of a worthy musician...
Ok, so you won't believe this... and actually, I don't either.
30 minutes before I had to be at work this morning, the door buzzed, so I buzzed it open, mistake.
Our retarded mailman buzzes all the time so that he can put a package inside the door, so I thought nothing of it. I open the hall door, and BOB... yes BOB is standing there.
(Pause, insert screaming here)
He was all angry and leaning down at me running me over the coals about why I haven't been returning his calls, and that I'm a hypocrite for saying that I'm a Christian, and not resolving things with him, and that all he needs to do, to sue me for a mistake that I didn't really make, is to give his (mythical) "team of lawyers" the go ahead.
To make a long story short, he went on for quite some time, and quite frankly, scared the bejesus out of me. There is no longer any bejesus in me. Not even a little bejesus. He's a fairly imposing figure. Although he's thin, he's very tall, and I'm 6'.
I have to give praise to God for the strength to stand there and listen to him, hear him out, and not A) freak out. B) run away C) call the police D) give in to the pressure he put on me to fix HIS problems. I stood up for my position, told him why I wouldn't return his calls, and why I do not want to work with him any more.
We ended up coming up with a solution, and I am pretty satisfied that he'll be out of my life by next week. I am going to be in Joliet doing a favor for my manager at Starbucks. I will stop by and find a file that he cannot find, put it on the desktop, and be gone. That's it. He said that he won't pursue the lawsuit thing anymore. I wouldn't really care if he did, but I am so tired of having to worry about him calling me, or showing up outside of my house, or at my work, or whatever. I just want it done. D. O. N. E.

On to something nicer, Sarah and I were watching "Austin City Limits" tonight, because there was a captivating artist on. His name is Ben Kweller, and he has apparently been around since 94 or so. Very "Pedro the Lion" meets "Beck."

Christmas is in the air...
Yeah. Christmas... It's in the freezing cold air.
I have been having a hard time getting into the actual spirit of Christmas this year... mostly because we've been in the "Spirit of last few weeks of school for the semester" around here.
Bob, the maniac, has tried to contact me again this week. After nearly a month of heavenly silence, he forgot that I don't work for him anymore... again.
My parents and my brothers are coming out to our apartment, and state for that matter, for Christmas day... this will be very cool, as Sarah's family will be here as well. It should be a very enjoyable christmas.
As for gifts. The only thing that I want this year is quite beyond my grasp. So I've asked for money or gift certificates towards it... If you were to guess, it wouldn't be that hard... It's the only product that I truly believe was made for me. It's a small, lightweight piece of heaven that holds more songs than I can listen to in several weeks... straight... The 40 Gb iPod from Apple is the Apple of my eye. They're pretty expensive, but if anybody would get their money's worth out of an iPod, it's me. So I'm dead set on it. Even if I have to wait till my birthday comes around in March and use money and gift cards from that...
Well, I'm getting sleepy, so I'll sign off now.
Later,
Jim

Rappers for Kerry
I've been half asleep all day today... poor me.
I heard a funny comedian talking today about how so many in the rap community supported the Democrats in the last election, and how it "made alot of sense..."
With a few exceptions... Republicans are known for being a male-dominated, gun carrying group. Obsessed with personal gain... Things that the rap community wants NOTHING to do with...
Very funny.
Jim
(P.S. To gain a better grasp of just how big John Kerry's head is, it should be noted that the picture above is one of the Senator with full grown 38 year old homemaker, Louise Macanucky from Omaha, Nebraska.)

Incapable of an intelligent thought
Yeah... So I have nothing to say.
I do however have something fun for everyone.
My young sister in law, Kaitlin, had quite the amusing post on her blog today in which she compares herself to an old woman, quotes the movie "That thing you do" and refers to Samuel Clemens on a first name basis. Ah, to be 16 again... I love this girl.
So cheers, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Day Off!!!
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!
Ok... so I'm excited. I have really been looking forward to today. I have some fun plans, and hope to accomplish them. Due to sleeping in, the day is going faster than I anticipated, but I have already changed the windshield wipers on the car, talked to somebody I needed to talk to (yeah, that wasn't vague...) and had some devotional time. I have been, for the last 20 minutes, browsing the internet to see what's been going on at my favorite sites, and while doing so, came across this little nugget of joy. An unexplored page on a website I've been to before. The author and his friends review horrible movies, and explain them in a sentence or two. Sometimes they even have sound, picture, or movie clips to accent the horribleness! It's fantastic!!! And very entertaining... I suggest you check it out.

Life, and other completely confusing issues...
So God is good. This is the one and only thing that seems stable in life right now. Strangely enough, it IS the only thing that IS stable in life, ever...
Sarah and I have been having a hard time lately. Mostly due to the fact that we can't see much of each other due to her college semester which will (hallelujah) be done in 2 weeks.
I am working hard, and will hopefully make shift manager by the end of the month. I'll definitely be making shift pay by then... which will be nice. I keep doing my best, and hoping for the same.
Later all.
