Dude, i haven't written on this thing in a long time. things have been pretty good lately. I just got back from Grand Cayman on Saturday and I'm getting used to the stress bubble again.

AHHHHH! I just went out to the mailbox to mail...a letter, when I looked across the street at my neighbors yard to find the most distgusting thing ever! Our neighbors have recently purchased a gigantic inflatable "GOD BLESS THE USA" ribbon! Not to mention that this humongous thing lights up and glitters at night! Its ludicrous!
