I can't believe it's almost February 2009; this year has been going by so fast already. A bunch of fun stuff has happened since I last posted, I turned 25, went to Tulsa for Christmas to visit family and friends, went to Tulsa again for new years at Erik and Tara's house, White James came to visit down in Norman, and a few days later Pepe came as well! Last weekend Amber celebrated a birthday, we went to Yamato steakhouse where we sat at a hibachi table (so awesome) and went to a movie. Tara and Erik also came down last weekend for the festivities and added to the awesome January I've been having so far. To top it all off today, President Obama was sworn in today which has been pretty cool to watch history happen live on CNN's feed. Regardless who you voted for this election does represent one of the most historic days that America has seen and it's been really interesting to watch. I specifically liked what he said about science:
"We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost." -President Obama.
I guess I like specifically his views on bringing science to a higher standard, to use it to help meet some of the challenges we face regarding health, environment, cars, etc, etc. Having a president who is more electronic savvy, and overall interested in science development, and is interested in using technology to our advantage is really important to me. If you missed any of that this morning I'm sure it will be flooded in news updates today.
Yesterday Joe Walker resurrected his blog and begun posting on blogger! I fully support his new blogging campaign and look forward to his cynical posts. Joe's site had a pretty sharp design, or lack of design, just simple. I really liked how simple it was so I tried to cut back on my own websites design myself, changed a few colors, and grabbed my old blog's mascot back when we all posted on the oefnetwork. So I hope you like my small tweaked design, and new colors. The little guy up there is Makar, from Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker, he's awesome and he plays the violin. I think that's about all that is on my mind today, except for Aretha Franklin's hat, or bow, or present, whatever the hell she was wearing. That won't leave my mind, it's too big. Also, my new years resolution list is here:
1. Learn to play my acoustic guitar.
2. Keep working out, and get less fat.
3. Update often!

I also have an instrument I need to practice more often. Do you think we would go very far as an acoustic guitar/ accordion duo?
Blogs all look the same in Google Reader. Good luck with your resolutions. I worked out tonight for the first time since Thanksgiving Day (This weekend's debauchery made me hit 240lbs for the first time in months and I'm not letting that get out of hand ever again).
yay a new post! I like her present too
oh yeah, you should call me sometime or I should call you
