With Christmas coming up, I'm going to be posting the lyrics to all the songs from My Favorite Christmas Album Ever (at least until I have children from whom I have to hide it).
Every few days starting December 1, I'll post the lyrics to every track (minus 'Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies' and 'Overture', both of which are instrumental...) in order.
Let's hope thePatrick doesn't beat me to any...

My finger's a few ounces heavier...
...but other than that, being married doesn't feel any different at all. I mean, yeah I don't have to go back to my apartment at midnight. And there's that whole procreating thing. But it's been about a week and it hasn't really HIT me that whoa, I'm married.
It almost did Sunday. But not quite.
Oh well. I'm liking it. I don't want to give the wrong impression with this.
Pics anyone?
Debating to whom to fling the garter. John-Face got it.
I had to secretly conspire with thePatrick every time I got the chance to arrange for him to drop my car off for me.
I'm honestly surprised at how fast the night went. We had a great time and almost forgot to cut the cake before we left! (pics to come later)
I'm glad the planning and stressing about the day are past. Now I just get to live out my days with my honey :)
That is all.

Myne Very Owne Lyric Quyze
So, taking a cue from thePatrick and Chonny, I've decided to put up my own Lyric Quiz. I knew 9 on thePatrick's (though I guess I only get credit for 7, as 2 were already guessed) and 7 on Chonny's.
Ready iTunes? Here we go...
X I think we have an emergency. I think we have an emergency. If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong cause I won't stop holding on
Emergency by paramore
2. When I first came to this island that I called my own name
X High as a kite on a flight soarin through the night, droppin new sh*t from the f***in mothership
Hellborn by Unwritten Law
4. We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
5. I've got a friend, his name is motor, and he used to dance in the summer.
6. Whistles the wind blowin my way, sweepin me back, back here to stay
X We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control
Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd
X There was a guy, an underwater guy who controlled the sea, got killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York or New Jersey (2 acceptable answers for artist)
Monkey Gone To Heaven by The Pixies or Frank Black
9. When you grab a hold of me, tell me that I'll never be set free, but I'm a parasite, creep and crawl I step into the night
10. Hin und wieder stell' ich fest dass ich nicht mehr lachen kann, über Sachen die ich früher lustig fand
X I've been really tryin' baby, tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
X Mother and child, I'm such a man for a short while, and promises be, the world just spins faster than me
Energy by Collective Soul
X Met a girl, thought she was grand, fell in love, found out first hand
She Hates Me by Puddle Of Mudd
14. I haven't paid attention to a word you've said, and I wouldn't really care if tomorrow you were dead
X Hey hey hey that's what I say, Hey hey hey hey!
Running Out Of Turbo by The Sounds
16. I can still feel you I can still feel you
X Is this how it was intended, the sunrise over smokestacks in the midwest
All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know by The Ataris
18. Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, you'll never be a better kind if you don't leave the world behind
19. Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time, I feel ali-i-i-ive
20. I'm a killer, cold and wrathful, silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom
21. Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that, now you're all gone got your makeup on and you're not coming back
22. They laugh at me aloud, they say I'm just a clown
X Bite the hand that feeds your face, one more thing you can't replace
Caving by Reggie And The Full Effect
X It's like seeing a car crash form inside the car, the driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
USA-holes by NOFX
25. Walking down thought I saw a penny, something tells me it wasn't red
Good luck.

Peasant's Quest...
I had some time to kill on my grave shift, so I decided to beat Peasant's Quest. Or, got to the end anyway...you can't beat it. Trogdor's indestructible.
I stunk like a peasant.
I dressed like a peasant.
And I got on fire like a peasant.
Fun for me.
That is all.

It's Not Christmas Yet
I promise. Want proof? isitchristmas.com will tell you.
We still have another holiday to go before Christmas can come. Remember Thanksgiving? That holiday where we eat a lot?
(We do that every day...)
Ok, that holiday where we eat a lot with people that annoy us.
(Oh, he's anti-family...)
Really now. Let Christmas stay in December. Do we start getting ready for Halloween before Labor Day? Or do we see little green dudes all over the store when we go in to buy a card with a big red heart on it? Not so much. (If you do see this in whatever store you go to, please feel free to burn it down.)
So why exactly is it that Christmas is let loose so far before its time? I can't come up with a good answer. Sure, I've got my cynical, idealist rant about how commercialism is ruining Christmas, but that just makes me sound like a pompous douche. And we don't need anymore of those. There are Douche-a-Plenty in these parts. (That's right theBodilys, I used it in a sentence!)
And who in Frick's Crap decided that the day after Thanksgiving had to be the day EVERONE AND THEIR HAIRDRESSER starts shopping? Relax, you freaks! It's because of you all that I don't dare venture outside my house that day. Heck, sometimes I feel like I need to hunker down with a shotgun just to keep the most confused consumerist zombies off of my porch...
Whatever the cause, it is now irreversible. So I will give up my stand to keep Christmas in December and allow it to start on "Black Friday". But until then, NO decorations, NO displays in stores, and for the love of all that is in any way, shape, or form holy, NO CHRISTMAS SONGS ON THE EPHING RADIO!
Jerks.
That is all.

Veteran's Day
Thank you.
To everyone who has served, especially with me.
I know I've complained a lot about being a part of the army, but if I got a second chance, I'd enlist all over again. I don't know what I would be doing, where I would be living, or even who I would be. I've been presented with some amazing opportunities because of the choice I made. And my life has truly been blessed.
If I hadn't joined the army, I wouldn't be marrying Catherine in 11 days.
I joined. I got deployed. I met who would become my best friend. I moved to Logan because of him. I got hired at Youthtrack because of him. I convinced another friend to move to Logan and work with us. He and I moved in with a third friend who introduced me to The Woman I Would Marry.
In addition to Catherine and Patrick, there are several others who I never would have known otherwise. Matticus, Raisor, Mason, Leslita, SSG Hotlips, Shay, and Top Rod. These people have been a great source of happiness and comfort to me. They all get extra special thank you's.
EDIT: Upon completion of this blog, I read thePatrick's. Wow...freaky.
That is all.
PS: A note to the ROTC:
Please don't asplode things around me. Especially unannounced. I understand what you're doing and understand the purpose behind it; I even mildly appreciate it. However, the reason for my appreciation is the very same as the reason for my annoyance. Honoring people who have been around booms by making things go boom doesn't so much make sense to me. We don't like them.
Heart rates increase.
Hands tremble.
Legs give out.
Thoughts scramble, and yet immediately focus at the same time.
It's uncomfortable...

So much cool...
Chontel brought me cream cheese at work last night. She told me to watch Eddie Izzard's standup. I laughed.
Then we randomly stumbled across this nugget of joy. Watch the WHOLE THING!!! At 2 minutes, you will officially lose your mind...
Today, I got this in my e-mail...thanks, Mom
Also, I played this game today. It's fun (f'realz)
On a not-so-rad note, don't go see The Haunting of Molly Hartley. It's beyond dumb.
That is all.

Called. It. !.
Remember a few blogs back when I mentioned Licensed Breeding?
Well, apparently, the Dutch Parliament reads my blog.
Check it out.
Please let this pass.
And spread. Like melted butter.
That is all.

It had to happen eventually...
Last night, the inevitable finally happened. I got RickRoll'd.
What is RickRolling, you ask? It's when one falsely posts a video labeled as something you actually want to watch, but then you're subjected to this.
I don't even remember what I was wanting to watch. But I laughed when it happened. I Wiki'd it and found out that this has been going around for over a year.
People have too much time on their hands.
Myself included. Yes, way, way too much time.
I think Catherine is planning an intervention.
