Anybody still interested in reading this? Damn you MJ!!
So I’ve kinda stopped blogging for various reasons. Life doesn’t seem that interesting to write about and most people I talk to already know what I’m up to. So it seems kinda redundant to be yappin about the same stuff in person and in writing. I don’t think anybody wants to hear weekly updates on how I play kickball and drink my face off on Thursday nights. I suppose there were a few interesting things the last few months, but I guess I was just lazy. Here are some quick hits:
Washington Capitals Playoff Hockey:
Round 1 Game 7 - Rangers Lose!
Chili-Cookoff 2009:
When will we learn from our mistakes?
Camping at Assateaque Island:
Wild horses at the campsite which happened to be near a great beach too.
I guess the only interesting thing that’s happened lately is the Michael Jackson fiasco. So about 34 days before I was supposed to see MJ perform in London, the Reaper decided to pay him a visit and persuaded Whacko Jacko to go with him. Argh!! This turn of events has put a serious crink in my bucket list. One item was to see Madonna live (check, I saw her last year), and the other was MJ (shit, at least I tried). My initial reaction was to cancel the whole bloody trip but my hotel reservation was going to be a problem. When I had booked it, it was supposed to be a special awesome rate, and there was a disclaimer about no refunds and no cancellations because of the spectacular rate. I thought, no problem. I’m committed, so I won’t need to worry about cancelling anything. I guess I didn’t expect the highlight of my trip to fizzle out like that. I could probably go through my credit card to get a refund, but I’ve decided a vacation isn’t the worse thing to deal with so I’m gonna check out the UK still. I’ve never been so it’s a good reason to go still. With that said, I have requested a refund on my concert tickets. The concert organizers are giving people the option of getting a full refund or in lieu of a refund, you can take a wickedly expensive commemorative lenticular ticket (ooooo - lenticular). Perhaps the ticket is worth something on eBay, but I’m not really willing to risk $150 to find out. The good thing is that the money saved from the concert will go towards general spending on the rest of the trip.
So that’s that. Vacation awaits in about two weeks. I think I will blog my adventures while I’m there so I’m resurrecting this for a little while. Happy times!!
