So... Thanksgiving break

Before I start writing I think I should let you all know that right now I am listening to Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. It replaced Tiny Dancer by Elton John in my head about 20 minutes ago. I am pretty excited about that.

I feel particularly fortunate this thanksgiving for many actual reasons and a few stupid ones. One in particular I am really excited about. Since my parents house is ten minutes from my house and my in-laws house is only seven minutes away I have a ton of time to kill this thanksgiving break. So, instead of writing my paper for Kevin's class, I am going to do something totally dumb and revive my hobby from last summer. While tutoring a kid last summer I discovered you can write letters to professional athletes asking for autographs on sports cards. At first I wrote really serious letters and then I got bored and started telling various american league outfielders how much I love chocolate milk. Overall, I mailed 114 different athletes over two months. While I am not going to do that much ever again. I want somebody to think I am cool at some point, I am planning on writing letters to the colorado avalanche. After a week of paper writing and presentation planning I am so ready to just sit down with my wife, put in a dvd, pop open a beer, and proceed to tell Joe Sakic what I am having for dinner, Milan Hejduk that I need a haircut and Jose Theodore will be hearing about how stupid my cats are. Seriously, they are retarded. I am looking forward to letting my mind going a little fallow this week. Who needs a brain when you can have autographs.

So, now that I have outed myself as the worlds dorkiest 13 year old, is anyone else looking forward to doing something totally stupid and mindless over break?

Now listening to Glamorous by Fergie.
