What I Learned in 2011

AMAZING things come to those who wait!
Spotify is my BFF
Even after 10 years sabbatical from snow skiing, I still can pick up right where I left off
OKC/Edmond Chiropractor Dr. Jason Block is the biggest joke ever! Never never never go to him...well if you'd like damage then you should go see him
Trash begets trash
Willie Nelson Jr. make for some good cruises/rides
David Fincher is a genius!
I'm weird, and strange and in my own world that very few can understand
I'm good at alienating myself and a few select others

Obligatory Life Chronicle Post

I'm posting today to chronicle the current weather occurrences.

We've been experiencing earthquakes in the homeland and it's not normal. I personally think they're an incredibly exciting experience! The "big one" we felt on Saturday evening, set a record in our lovely state. It was a 5.6, the one tonight was only a 4.7, this one came in the middle of a thunderstorm that's been spitting tornadoes out all afternoon/evening, are you excited yet?! Though the "Republic" argues it is nothing to do with their fracking, I believe it is a large contributor. When we drain our motherland of the natural gas and cause us to quake enough, you'll find us settled at the bottom of a large lake, please enjoy your beach front property Texas!

Come visit, what other state can you say has earthquakes, F5 tornadoes, floods, droughts (63 days of 100+ degree days), land hurricanes (YES! Actually Hurricanes!), blizzards, wind shear storms, ice storms, severe thunderstorms (always thought these were common but some have never experienced a thunderstorm) and death hail all in one?! Maybe the state parks & recreation needs to hire me for their next vacation tourism campaign? I think the above paragraph is a huge seller!
