Come Down With Fire, Lift My Spirit Higher

Alas the holidays are over and now it's back to normal, whatever that may be for you. Wil begins 2012 with renewed hope for the future and a lot of work to do to get there. Right now I gots me some bidness to tend to but never fear, I shall return directly.

The Loot

Ok, so here is what Wil wound up getting for Christmas. What a strange mix of stuff.

An early present was this fine Bed In A Bag set that Wil had picked out from WalMart and Gina was nice enough to buy for him. I wanted something in blue and I desperately needed it so I got this earlier in the month. It is indeed very nice.

I was definitely wanting and needing this handy bundle for my new Samsung Stratosphere. I put it on my Amazon Wishlist and my nephew Nick got it for me. Cool, someone actually looked at the Wishlist, it really works! I really like the clip on the back of the cover that enables you to prop it up horizontally, that is really cool.

Also from Nick and my Amazon Wishlist is this book from the late, great Bob Probert. Yes, Wil occasionally reads and as most of you know Wil was/is a huge fan of Bob Probert. They were working on this book when Bob checked out in July of '10 and his wife and the author went ahead and finished it. I am sure it is gonna be a good, interesting read. The first sentence of the book is "Tie Domi was a little fucker, and I figured, "Why not?" Yes, should be fun for the whole family.

My nephew Jon gave me this cool White Sox tumbler that can microwave, be frozen, thrown off a cliff, survive a nuclear holocaust, etc. I will use this regularly.

No, this is not a joke. For those of you that don't know I currently live with my sister's family which includes my 2 younger nephews, Nick and Ryan. Now mind you they are 24 and 18, respectively. That doesn't mean they're not chuckleheads though and everyone in the house must be armed. Yeah, it's like that.

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we were able to get Gina up here from Louisville for Christmas also which was nice. She came up Christmas Eve and stayed until Thursday morning which made probably the best Christmas I've had in a decade complete.

Well That Was Fun

The holiday has now come and gone and it truly was the best one I've had in a long time. Here is a pic of the festive Commander. I'll fill you all in on the gifts and such tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great day!

Every Picture Tells A Story, Don't It?

Today for you I have a few random photos and 1 video clip just for the hell of it.  Enjoy.

My youngest nephew Ryan walked up to my door with our niece Jocelyn yesterday and fell into this pose for no reason. Jocelyn looks totally bewildered, as was I but it was funny as hell. "God, why hast thou forsaken me!?"

Yes, Christmas is right around the corner. Tonight Ryan and I went out and got all of the rest of the supplies for our massive Christmas feast/party that we're having this year. I am actually looking forward to Christmas for the first time in many o' moons. Here's a shot of Wil on Christmas Day, 1973. God I loved that purple suit thing!

Speaking of Christmas, as was referenced a few times on this blog in the last week or two, this makes me seriously LOL every time:

Just for reference, in the words of Heff, "This is where the magic happens".

Here's a couple of assbags that have nothing better to do with their time. Truly sad.

The Blackhawks defeated the Montreal Canadiens tonight 5-1 at The UC. The last time I looked Detroit (sucks) was losing to Vancouver late in the 3rd so that is also a good thing.

Wil's awesome head of hair continues to grow at an alarming rate.

If I don't make it back this way before then, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and what not to all.

Kim Jong ILL, And Other Shite

The world will surely be mourning the death of the enigmatic North Korean President, Kim Jong Il, who checked out at the age of 69. Huh, let's see what happens next in this hotbed of freedom and civil rights. I'm thinking not a lot, but ya never know. See you later there Kim, I loved you in Team America: World Police.

Wil is headed off to the Dentist today after having successfully knocked out the abscess that plagued him most of the week. Tooth #12, your time is up biotch! I will be in the chair at 1:30 PM CST, think of me fondley, oh yesth!

I'll take a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind please

The Blackhawks ran their winning streak to 5 straight as they pounded the Calgary Flames 4-2 Sunday night at The UC. They now have the most points of any team in the league and oh, Detroit still sucks. Speaking of 5 and a game misconduct, the victory did not come cheap as Defenseman Brent Seabrook got taken out of the game by Rene Bourque.

They are actually good friends in real life and I really don't think Rene meant to injure him, nothing really malicious here. We shall see how long Seabrook is lost for in the next day or so as right now he is just listed with the old "upper body injury".

And just to show you that Wil is a real Blackhawks fan, here's your sign...

This pic also serves as a hair, and now beard growth official update, much to Heff's chagrin. Just to remind everyone of our goal, here is what we are shooting for:

Fucking LOLZ! Have a nice day peeps!
