Polish Pride

So as some of you know, I am 100% Polish. And I am insanely proud of that. Last summer I went to a Polish festival that was held nearby, and it was loads of fun. There was music, people dancing, a ton of food, and then a lot of cool exhibits. I got to see a Polish sheepdog (I don't remember what they were actually called) which was cool cause they were huge and almost pure white. Well onto the subject of the post, a little after that I ended up looking for some Polish clothing articles and I came upon this site called www.polishpride.com. It's really cool and there are a lot of things on there. Well I asked for one of the sweatshirts for Christmas and I got it. Now I can show off my pride everywhere I go. (Its the PL Est. 966 Tan Hoodie) But yeah I'd say if any of you has any Polish in you, or is just interested that you should check the site out.

(Thanks grandpa, I love the sweatshirt.) :)

Its beginning to look a lot less like Christmas!

I love Christmas. I love getting gifts, and even more I love buying gifts for people. But even though I love Christmas so much, I hate it too. Confused yet? Well work in retail during the holidays and you'll feel the same way. The holidays are a time where you have a ton of people coming to buy gifts, and expecting that they will get said gifts, even though they are trying to buy them two days before the 25th. When you think of Christmas you think of all the happy times, dancing through the snow, singing carols, and whatnot. But when you work in retail you see the Scrooge in everyone. If you don't have the particular product they want, be ready for a hailstorm of insults and accusations directed right at you. I don't understands why this happens, but that's how it works. So next time you are shopping for Christmas (most likely next year I would assume), please oh please be nicer to us. We try our hardest to make you all happy.

Hunter

Work is insane because of the holidays and I haven't really been able to update the blog.. So I leave you with a drawing I drew awhile back. If you don't know, its a Hunter from the game Halo.

Skyrim

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I picked up a copy of Skyrim from Redbox and was playing it. I only put 6 hours into it, but I am hooked on it. The game is amazing! And this is coming from someone who isn't normally a huge fan of RPG's. Games like Mass Effect, Star Wars: KoToR, and Dragon Age I want to like because they are great games, but I have a hard time playing them because I start to lose interest quite fast. I also had played a little of both Morrowind and Oblivion, and both of them were a hard for me to get into. But Skyrim is different, it is just awesome. :P When I started the game I decided that I wanted to be an Orc tank, which is odd because I tend to like using magic more often than melee, like in Diablo 2 I always play as the Sorceress. But for once I am enjoying fighting through the lands of Tamriel with just brute strength. The feeling of pulling off finishing moves on almost all of your enemies is great. This game is a must play for anyone who likes games, or knows how to move their hands to be able to play a controller. I so wish I could actually afford to buy the game since I haven't played since the first time.

Snowy nights

I love this weather. After it gets dark, there is no wind, you go outside and the snow is falling peacefully. Standing out there looking up at the sky, I gotta say that that may be one of the greatest feelings ever. It is just so beautiful. I've always loved when it snows.

It was a dark and stormy night...

It was a dark and stormy night. Well not really, it was dark cause it was a quarter to midnight, but it wasn't really stormy. It was snowing though. I was driving home from my girlfriend's house and the closer to home I got, the more snow there was. I got to one point in the road where it turns right and goes down a hill, and it didn't occur to me that I should probably slow down because it hadn't been slippery at all elsewhere. Well when I got to the top of the hill I saw some tire tracks that didn't turn with the road but went straight. Oh crap... Well my car hit the turn and just like the other car didn't turn, just started sliding forward. Unluckily though, said car was still at the side of the road where it stopped and I was sliding right towards it. I started freaking out because I didn't want to hit the car so I tried to steer it away into the curb. That didn't work, but I did manage to completely turn my car sideways and my car slowed down really fast. I then slowly started going again and finished driving home. And that was my experience last night, it was both scary and kinda fun. Luckily for me it was so late so there wasn't any traffic coming the other direction.

Still need new tires...
