dystopia

The Winter storm that plowed through the area, beginning on Sunday, left me snowed in all day yesterday. It came as a complete surprise. I knew the news had called for snow, but I only expected the usual flurries that don’t stick to the ground and usually disappear after 10 minutes. Instead, it just kept coming. I’m glad that we went out Sunday morning to look around at rings and do some shopping because we wouldn’t have been able to do it Sunday evening. The snow fell very quickly and when I woke up Monday morning I realized I wouldn’t be going anywhere. We got probably at least 6 or 7 inches, if not more. I stayed inside for most of the day yesterday, until it warmed up a bit around 2:00. Both me and my fiancee went outside to clean our cars off and make a path in the driveway. Then last night my throat started feeling scratchy and then I started feeling congested in my chest and all I could think was oh no, please don’t let me be getting sick. I can’t afford to be sick right now, I’ve got way too much going on. I can’t afford to miss work or stop planning my wedding as it is only three short months away now. I got up this morning, still feeling not so great, took a shower, came to work and here I am. My throat still feels a bit wierd, I’m feeling slightly better and hoping this is just a 24 hour bug and it will pass and not get worse.

As for the wedding planning, I didn’t really get much at all done this weekend. We went out to some jewelry stores seeing what they had to offer and comparing the prices. I checked on my invitations to see where they were in the mail. I should be getting them in the mail on Thursday hopefully. Speaking of the invitations, I didn’t buy any stamps, which I was going to do this weekend, but didn’t do. I also have yet to speak with the DJ, but I have everything I want to talk to him about in my head and wrote down now. We have yet to buy plane tickets and that’s stressing me out because I’m afraid the price will just go up if we wait much longer. I can’t wait to get the invitations. That’s what I’ll be doing this weekend, not to mention I have an eye doctor appointment on Saturday, in which I am going to ask for a trial pair of contacts to wear on my wedding day. My mom actually sent me a text message yesterday asking what the date of the wedding is. I couldn’t believe my eyes?? What? You seriously mean to tell me you don’t know the date or you forgot it? I can’t believe that. Oh well….I did watch a good movie this weekend called “Felon”. It starred Val Kilmer and I didn’t even know it was him in the movie until the end.

Here’s some good quotes from the movie:

John Smith: When your life is defined by a single action, it changes the concept of time.
John Smith: What a piece of work is man. And there is no good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Human beings are perhaps never more dangerous than when they are convinced beyond a doubt that they are right. Patience. Penance.
John Smith: Usually I’m quoting someone else’s words. The least I can do is give you some John Smith originals. They won’t be poetic. But they’ll be the truth. Yes, prison desensitizes you. But it also forces you to see what’s most important. Family. And loyalty. Because a con like you knows neither exists in this place. So don’t run from who you’ve become, felon. Embrace it. Grow from it. And you’ll never lose sight of what truly matters. That’s my final piece of advice, Wade Porter. You protect your family at all costs. Even if you’re forced to kill again. Because if i had to, I’d wipe out the whole planet to get mine back. So long, friend.
John Smith: I wanted to show them what unimaginable looked like. I purified their madness.
