"I Killed It!"

YIKES! It sucks outside. I haven't seen a snow like this since.... Well, last year when it snowed back in February. I didn't mind it back then. I had two snowed in days that were put to good use. I finished up my final Masters project and graduated. Today, I actually had plans to mosey to a bar. That isn't going to happen. In my youth (I'm not all that old), I would've been dumb enough to hit the road and drink. My older, wiser self looks at this weather and says, "Fuck it, Joe. Stay on the couch." That's where I plan to be. Besides, I have beer here. Trust me, I have beer here. I have wings in the oven. There is power still (this place has more power outages then one could shake a stick at), so I will be watching videos, in particular, one with Charlie Brown and a Christmas Tree. I love "A Charlie Brown Christmas." It has to be one of my all time favorite cartoons. In fact, I wrote a story... an award winning story... that was inspired by that cartoon (about an Ostrich and a curmudgeonly Uncle). The Wings just set off the smoke detector. Now, how in hell did that happen? I just noticed I don't have a vent over the stove. That's an issue. Anyhoo, I shall stay in and watch Charlie Brown. I also have a Charlie Brown X-mas tree. Seriously! I do! It's an actual Charlie Brown tree! It came in a box that has Charlie Brown on it! It's a big stick with a red ornament. I put another ornament on it and some little lights. After all, it needed a little love. I just might turn the lights on. So, yeah, the weather fucked up everything. I will live. I hope you are all safe and on a couch somewhere with smokeless chicken wings and beer. Later.
