ha ha ha - time flies wicked fast

got a christmas card today from a friend of mine,
and glad to see she's well.

so i figured, best way to see how she is most currently was to check her journal. these online things do serve a purpose, you know?

ha ha ha,..... dude.
she's getting engaged. well, no. scratch that, Ghostrider, she IS engaged.

that term bewilders me at this very exact moment, real time, mind you, as i type and you read.

engagement.

you see, last night, oddly enough, i just WATCHED Rules of Engagement again. Good movie. Can't go wrong with good ol' Samuel L. Jackson. Throw in a good Texan like Tommy Lee Jones...

I digress. Engagement. I mean... ok, so a guy proposes to a girl. she can either say yes, or throw the ring at him and run the opposite direction. and usually, the girl, although she generally knows it's coming... is still oh so fuckin happily surprised when the guy proposes, or rather, does the whole engagement thing, that she sounds off to the world.

how does my current state of mind think right now?
well, a guy sneaks up on a girl, rather, ambushes her, with the question... will you marry me? of course, proposing in a prone position would look damned silly and pathetic, but in video games, this is the best position for the most stable shot"s and avoiding enemy fire. so, the next best stance in video games is to take a knee.

How coincidental. the guy takes a knee when he proposes. or, in David Carr's case, it's a signal to the other team, "i give up, quit sacking the shit out of me".

Usually, aside from firing with semi-automatic weapons, in the video game, a grenade is also produced. "Brick, where did you get a hand grenade?" To use, pull the pin, count to ten, and throw. The pin looks enough like a ring...

So... pull the ring out, count what seems like an eternity of 10 seconds, or the amount of time for the girl to have that deer-in-headlights look of i knew this was coming, but did not know this was coming... and then,... well, don't throw the ring at her, but offer it. and wham...

enemy...well, ok, not so much in this case, but the opposite side....if accepting, is officially engaged. and then you tell the world, and voila.

holy shit, it's just barely 2006, and we're starting off early. On a sad note, a family friend's family has lost a loved one, but at the same token, two engagements are abound. a friend is also ....oh shit. THREE engagements are abound and it's only the 3rd..well...4th frickin day of the year of 2006.

time flies. wicked fast. ha ha. i'm 30, motherfuckers. ha ha. shit. 10 yrs away from the priesthood. some cute single girl-next-door but-has-a-freaky-side, (few issues, no kids), I'm RIGHT HERE! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU???? ha ha.

and with that, to all my friends getting engaged, congratulations. :) World needs love, sweet love.
