Memorial Day weekend

The Jazz Jubilee is back in town, although I never really attended the event and in the past. Sounds like fun, except that you have to pay a high admission price to get in. So this Memorial Day weekend, instead of being out on the road, I'm spending it at home. High gas prices are still out of control and I think it's affecting my social life, because I virtually use the car to go out and kick it with my friends. I rarely use public transportation, although I was thinking of going downtown by taking the bus and the light rail one day.

Mother's Day weekend

I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day. I gave my mom a Hallmark card and some roses. Like they say, it's the thought that counts. Didn't do a whole lot else that day, except that my brother came up to visit for the day... and to do his laundry... lol.

Getting reacquainted is hard

It's been several years since I've been in contact with anyone from high school. It's also been over a decade since I've been in elementary and junior high. I've always wondered what all these people I've met over the years -- these old classmates of mine... Old friends of mine -- are doing now. I remember them, but the sad part is that I don't think anyone even remembers me. My ten year high school reunion is coming up in about a year, although there is a reunion coming up in a few months for alumni between 1993 - 2000, but I doubt I'll go because it's expensive and I'll probably don't know anyone there. If I do go to my reunion next year, what am I gonna say to them when I tell them I'm going by my nickname again? I went by my real name throughout high school and it was becoming a big identity crisis for me. I go to school as "Steve" and outside of school, I'm "J.R.". What a weird and funky feeling. I went back to using my nickname altogether after high school when I went to college for awhile. For now, I'm using MySpace.com to try to get reacquainted with old friends, but that too is doing very little. *sigh*

eBay as a Seller

I'm not new to eBay. I'm familiar with it like everyone else. I've bought from them before. The thing is that I'm new to selling. Yes, I started selling on eBay a few months ago and so far, I've sold six things already. I figured that everyone does it to earn some extra cash, so what the heck, let me join in on all of this. It's been a trial-and-error thing for me so far, but I'm getting the hang of it.
