Hey everyone!

I would like to officially welcome Andrew Lucas Hight to the world.  He was born on March 22nd, 2010 at 1:15pm.  His birth weight is 9lbs 6oz and 21″ long.  He is adorable and everything his mama and I could have asked for or wanted in a son.  Love you, Andrew.

I went swimming tonight at my friend’s “heated” indoor pool.

It was about 40 degrees outside.

And about 50 degrees in the pool.

I don’t think that constitutes as “heated”.  Unless it’s 20 degrees out.  Which it isn’t.

Maybe I will just sit in my nice, warm, dry clothes next time.  Yes, I do believe I will do so.

There’s a squirrel that’s been on our porch for the past 30 minutes or so.  He is climbing over all the empty cardboard boxes and firewood out there.  And tearing the cardboard to pieces.

Dumb squirrel.  I put a few crackers out there for him.

He took one.

I think I will just let him be and watch.

Amanda and I were laying in bed tonight and she was cuddled up against my arm.  Now she is fast asleep and, yes, still laying on my arm.  I can’t feel my fingers or arm.  But, I still got my taxes done, checked my email, posted on my MySpace, posted on my FaceBook and am now writing in my blog.  All with one arm.  I would make a good handicap.

Though, I would be a better if I had a wheelchair.

Amanda and I finally got the crib up tonight!  She is extremely excited about it and so am I.  Now all that is left is to paint the wall, hang the letters of Andrew’s name on the wall and have the baby.  We both will be so relieved to just have him here.

So, as a hobby, I have gotten into body piercing.  I have done about 5 on myself and 5 on other people.  I don’t know why, but the idea of having plastic or metal infused into skin is just so cool to me.  It’s like an extension of my creativity and edginess that I can share with everyone else.  Here are just a few of the piercings I have/have had/performed on people.

When the joy and happiness of

Summer has come and is done

The cold air blows much harder

The Sun is all but gone

We talk about how it used to be

In the Summer when things were grand

When we used to walk down by the lake

We stood there hand in hand

We watched the Sun move out of sight

Like a flower in the fall

We sat and let hours fly by

And then there came a call

Like a tearing wind it came through my soul

Destroying all it could

When it was done I had no more

Nothing seemed like it should

My heart cried out my soul it wept

My mind grew old and weary

My body had began to leak

All the joy that was within me

I could not feel anything

No anger no pain no hurt

The feelings had all been numbed away

Yet I still felt so burnt

My life was spent

Or so I thought

My eyes they filled with tears

How could this happen to me I sought

The answer in my fears

I contemplated the old ways

Of how things used to be

And then I realized that it was

Just not meant to be seen

Why would I think that I could be

So much bigger than it all

Than the sun and the stars up in the sky

Looking down over us all

I never will quite understand

What my purpose for life will be

But I know that I should not be bitter

And this will set me free

Amanda and I at Top Food at midnight some night.  There were many more late night runs, both for movies and for food.  Top Food has robbed us of many a dollar and hours of sleep.
