Happiness is...

...belt fed weaponry.

I could have used some tonight. I knew everything was going well and something was gonna give, well, it did. I turns out that I'm not going to get the weekends off thing. There's a fine print deal that said I had to put a slip in saying I'd be off light duty in 6 months in order to bid.....well, I didn't do it. I have a couple of angles I'm gonna try to get it back, but chances are slim. I hoping it's just a brief karma repeal because so much good stuff is gonna start happening job wise...stay tuned.

On the baby front...talks continue. So that's another thing to stay optimistic about.

I could do a lot of stuff tonight, but I have a computer to order for Maggie tomorrow and a class to attend in the afternoon for the postal resume. So I'm gonna hit it.

BTW...my friend Paulette got the job and she reads this, so I think she ought to post a comment and apologize to everyone that she's denying me valuable weekend time with yall. (Actually, if it has to go to somebody, I couldn't pick anyone better than her)

IT'S A BOY!!!!!

I found out about an hour ago that I had a son 25 years ago. It's taken me that long to get in touch with his mom. I'm not going to go into a whole lot of detail here until she gives me the approval. I want to find him to pass along some of the family health history.

The mother called him "George" during the pregnancy. He was born September 9th, 1979. Now here is the weird part. My wife was born September 9th and I stopped drinking on September 9th, 1989. (But I'm back drinking now...thank you very much!)

I had a feeling that it would be a boy. That is how god deals with me usually. You see, there will be no more Fitzpatrick's. My brother and cousin had girls.

So as I get more info I'll fill you in.

I'm asking for multiple mojo from everyone. A lot of good stuff is happening this week. I finally have weekends off at work. I'm hoping I didn't exhaust all of my workplace karma, cause I have several other jobs that I'm trying to get. Plus, we have to start checking the adoption place to try to contact "George".

Send it to me people.....

I just thought.....I guess I have to get some cigars, huh?

HUUUUGE News Comin'

Probably the biggest news of my life. Hopefully I should have something by the end of the week.

I've been working on a "Postal Resume" for the last couple of days. There are a few jobs coming up that are higher rates of pay, better hours, etc. But that's not the big news, that's just why I haven't posted for awhile.

We went shopping on Saturday and I made the mistake of going to the Guitar Center in Harrisburg. I'm now approaching full gearslut mode and want to spend about 12 grand on music equipment. It won't happen, but it doesn't mean I still don't want to do it.

Shea Quinn is working there so I got a chance to catch up with him a little.

A word of advice. Never go to a music store on a Saturday. All the kids are there which is usually a pain. But I have to admit, the adults were worse.

Remember to keep checkin' back.

Huge stuff....really.....huge.....massive.

Super Bowl 39 and other stuff.

Patriots 24, Eagles 21. I was right on the point spread. I really hoped the Eagles would win, but usually the team that's been there recently wins. I mean, it's not like it's Dallas winning or anything.

The big story tomorrow will be the lack of Philadelphia's hurry up offense. I really think they could have had a chance if they would have saved some time.

On to other things.

Baby 81

Besides being a great name for a band. Did you hear about this? They found an infant from the tsunami in Sri Lanka. A bunch of people went into the maternity ward and started fighting over the baby right there. A guy said he would kill himself if he didn't get the child. Really bizarre.

Blue Eyed Six

Another great band name. In fact, I had a band with that name. I heard on the radio that they are doing a documentary on them. Here's a link to what it's all about.

Too Sexy Fitz

This was a piece of mail that came thru. It had two very hot pics of a brunette on the front. They were advertising pants and the headline was "Two Sexy Fits". Ok, I took some liberties with the title. But you all agree with me, don't you? :) The girl on the left is the one I'm talkin' about.

Iraq

There's preliminary information that the elections in Iraq may turn out like the invasion. Poorly planned and wrong headed. They may turn out to elect a government just like the one that their neighbors in Iran have. A religious one.

I found out that Billy is where the mess hall blew up about a month ago. I'm thinking that's a good thing cause their already on their toes.

Everybody have fun tonight...

(ok...I have to...)

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

Beef Wellington...

Who's he???

This is an actual conversation I overheard at work. I wanted to tell the guy that he's a body builder or professional wrestler, but I didn't come up with it fast enough.

These guys pump quarters into these machines at work that have multi games on them. So they go to the quiz games. Then they can't answer 2/3rds of the questions. Very funny.

I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to talk about and I forgot all of it.

I don't remember if I mentioned Podcasting, and I'm too lazy to look at my old posts. I may start doing that. They say it's gonna be the new blog? I like the idea of doing my own el cheapo radio type show tho. It may happen. God knows I've got the gear to do it.

Coming into the weekend. Talk to yaz later.

Puffy Rules

I love Puffy AmiYumi. I'll repeat that quite a bit.

I'm thinking about podcasting. I'm gonna look into it, but I have all the gear to do it. I only have 50 projects that have to get done. Why not add another one. :)

Hope you kids the are hanging in there. Spring is on it's way.
