So I have been a little lazy, and somewhat busy. Excuses right, we are all full of em. But it is what it is, and I am here.
I have spent the last week hanging out with friends, family and getting some projects on their next step to completion. Did a lot of socializing last week because one of our friends had his sister in town. It was a lot of fun, and made me and my fiance' realize that we wish that we would have met more people down here. Not to say that we have not found anyone that has similar interests or are fun to be around, but there really hasnt been anyone outside of military that we have become friends with, which is crappy. Every place I have ever moved to before I have always found people to hang out with, and maybe it is just us and not getting out enough, or maybe it is the people here I do not know. That being said, we have at least found a group of friends that we do enjoy spending our time with, having parties and going out, but the bars here are still terrible.
I finally built the Megabloks Halo Pelican I got for my birthday. IT was missing one piece is the only gripe I gripe I have, other than that, it went together well, is sturdy, and is an awesome set. I might even buy another just for the pieces, around 950 for 60 bucks is a good deal, because some friends and I are looking at a game called brikwars that allows you to play a tabletop war game with Lego/minifig creations. Brikwars.com I have a stock interwebz picture here, and ill post mine with a crappy timelapse slideshow tomorrow.
Last night it was time to bottle my beer that has been fermenting for the last two weeks. From what I can tell, it went well. The real test is two weeks from now when I can actually try it. Keeping my fingers crossed, but I am also already looking forward to me next brew. I might attempt a Mead, or some sort of Honey brew, something a little lighter to entertain with because a lot of the people I know down here do not really like Irish Reds like the batch that is brewing right now.
I also said some thoughts. I have had a couple days in the past week or so that have made me a little down. Nothing major, just shitty days. Now at first when you realize a day sucks, you just want to forget it and you give up on making it better. I also had to think though that I have had good days too, and that if every day was good, than would they really feel that way. Now hear me out for a minute. If you never had a bad day in your life, even the good days would just feel normal. You see stuff like this in the kids/people you know who are spoiled. They act like the nice things they have and fancy things they do are normal, because it has always been that way. But when you experience the same things, you feel like they mean more to you. Same thing when you really think about people across the world that are less privileged than you, your normal day is a wish come true for them. I guess what I am getting at is that at the very least, bad days only make the good days that much better, and really you should try and slow down and learn from your bad experiences, because change in habit or action can prevent those from happening again, and prepare you for the other unforeseens in your life.
On a lighter note, MIT students make Ketchup dispensing robot, these wont be taking over the world anytime soon.
