KGBlog

i'm really excited about the upcoming month for my blog. exciting stories and an exciting time of year. christmas and all that that entails...which may include a brief switch to the holiday header(i'll hold off as long as i can on that but it may not be too far off.) anyway, be excited, but not too excited because then i might let you down...just a medium amount of excitment and expectation.

peace out,
-kg

answer me this. would i have believed you if you had told me i could get lunch (a full one with a side and cookie and drink and all) for a dollar? would i have believed you if you told me a few months back that all of my teams would be 10-2 by the waining weeks of the 06 football season? nay. not a chance. but here i sit today having witnessed both. amazing. this is a great day. did you know that moe's serves the maggie moo and other childrens menu items for 1 dollar on sundays? neither did i. sunday is now my favorite day to get my favorite moe's meal. maggie moo w/ chicken. also, well done on the seasons so far wfu, lsu, and notre dame. keep it up.

so here i am on a late night ramble. it seems as if it's been quite a while since i last wrote anything that had any real significance to it. lots of humorous stories but nothing really about life or me or anyone else. i dont know what it is i want to talk about here but i feel the need to say something. i guess i'll just sum up my life right now. i work. all the time. its the busy season at the portrait studio. families, kids, everyone coming in for their christmas photos. really good for us since we just opened but it means we dont stop working. through december we're in 6 days a week from 830 till...well until the last appointment finishes which is usually 830ish as well give or take a half hour or so. last week i almost got to 60 hours. its crazy. and we all think so but if we can make it through then we will have rest in jan. thru till easter and then another couple of crazy weeks and then easy sailing till next christmas. but in the meantime there we are day in day out shooting pic after pic and doin our thing. so that is my life in a nutshell. do i like it? i guess so. pictures are fun and i really do love portraits. but i wont be able to go to church for a really freaking long time. and i miss it. last year working at 1st pres i realized that the thing i loved about the place the most was the community/family feel of it. and now i dont get to be involved at all. it sucks. i just got back from hanging out with a few friends. we had the guitars out and were singing worship songs. and it was the first time i had in like a month. and i miss it. music is huge for me and worshiping in community is something that connects me with god in a special way. i havent experienced it in so long that i wonder what effect it's really having on me. i mean i think i'm still nice and try to be there as much as i can for friends, which is all well and good but what about god? yeah of course i can find him in the mundane of life...he is there just as much as he is always there anywhere, but there is something so different about this life i lead right now. work, eat, sleep, repeat. that's about the same. but there is something so awesome about going to work when you know that much of your day will be spent talking about god and his work here. last years internship was so amazing for that reason. i find myself now with days going completely by without having one single discussion about god, without one hymn being sung, without the shared understanding that we are all striving to follow his purpose for our lives. its not that he is not there. it's just so much easier to remember his presence when one person or other is continually pointing him out for us all to see. i guess all that is to say that i miss living a life so continuously focused on pointing others to god because it so much of the time kept me focused on him as well.

well yeah but this is a totally different and better story. one that may have just fulfilled a lifelong dream...

the other day a co-worker's (krystal) husband and son came in to say hi to her and see the place. we all greeted and met and such and then they took off for home. the next day as we chatted about the new season of OC, krystal said, "oh yeah, kevin, when i got home my husband said, 'that kevin guy looks just like seth from the OC.' " and just like that my year was made. the fact that everyone imediately agreed and comented that i not only look like seth but act just like him as well only confirmed the realization of said lifelong dream. check that off the list of lifelong dreams. i'll be smiling about that one straight through christmas.

as i sat on the couch tonight watching part two of a two night OC extravaganza i came to a realization. Not only has ryan slightly, just slightly, matured over the past few years, but his fighting has improved dramatically. i harken back to the premier when the image of luke dropping ryan on the beach with one shot was seared into all of our memories. and tonight ryan did what we all thought may never happen. he did the same to volchok. one punch to the ground. well done ryan. i am almost as proud of him for this feat as i am for him not actually killing volchok with the broken bottle he was immediately hovering over him with.

i also came to the realization that even without marissa this season seems promising due to the fact that the writing seems to have returned to former glory after its slump last year. that and kirstin seems to be back to a healthy normal person weight. i guess i'll find out how those hold up as the season moves along.

ps: in other news, tomorrow is my first day of work.

...at me for putting this up here but sometimes i blow myself away with my ability to guess random things. (ie my favorite example from a childhood game of trivial pursuit: who considers himself the errol flynn of B movies? (ps errol was in the original robin hood with olivia de havilland) ronald regan. (that was both my guess and the correct answer....did i know it or have a clue....nope)

....so back to the matter at hand. here is my most recent ridiculous guess from aim:

KillerRabbit92: hey
hp THAt GUY: what up?
KillerRabbit92: nm
KillerRabbit92: just getting read to go trick or treating
KillerRabbit92: guess who i am
hp THAt GUY: nice
hp THAt GUY: hmm
hp THAt GUY: hopefully chuck norris
KillerRabbit92: what????? how in the world did you guess that
KillerRabbit92: i even have chest hair though
hp THAt GUY: hahahahaha
KillerRabbit92: its incredible
