The art, humor, and philosophy of a guy named David Uribe.
Hey everyone. It’s 1:30 in the morning and my family is still up and at it. We always wait until midnight on Christmas Eve to celebrate by exchanging gifts, hugs, and kisses. It’s always an emotional thing for us. Above is a picture of a handful of my cousins with my brother and me tonight.
Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks to all of you who have been a part of my life. I have been blessed with your kindness.
In my last entry, I recommended listening to the soundtrack of the film Once. Well here’s a scene from the film where they perform one of my favorite tracks When Your Mind’s Made Up. The video quality is terrible but this one had the best audio version. Sit back and enjoy.
We’ll return on Sunday afternoon, just in time for me to hop on another trip up to Orlando with my family where we will spend the week together for Christmas. The cousins and I will most likely end up going to one of the many theme parks where we will dine on expensive snacks with our Disney Dollars. I’m not quite sure yet, but I may have to travel back down to Miami on Wednesday to work a few days before driving back up to Orlando to spend New Years with the family. Either way, it doesn’t bother me. I enjoy being on the road, listening to albums and audio books. I’m trying to decide whether to purchase the audio version of A.J. Jacobs’ The Know It All or Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. Either audio book runs at least 15 hours long in an attempt to cover a world of data.
I’d say it’s a nice way to end one year and begin another: Food, friends, fun, and a whole lotta facts.
On a completely unrelated note, please check out this soundtrack for the Irish indie film Once. It’s wonderful.
I don’t know if I’ll have much internet access after tomorrow, so enjoy the weekend and Merry Christmas!
Every now and then I’ll score some tickets to a Miami Heat game. The seats are incredible. They’re 9 rows behind the Heat bench, which gives me a great view of the players, the coach, and most importantly the crowd camera guy. I’m referring to the dude who points the camera onto fans during time outs and commercial breaks, giving regular Joes like me an opportunity to bask in 15 seconds of fame. Well, Monday night was no exception. I was on the screen about 3 times, and I had my cousin film one of these glorious moments. Behold as I do my Robot Dance in front of a few thousand people.
Hey everyone. Got so caught up in enjoying my little vacation that I missed out on writing about it. I’ve been having a great time thus far. The folks in Chicago were real good to me. Nathalie and Cory have been awesome hosts in Baltimore as well.
I realize I should be writing more about whats actually been going on, but I’m about to eat breakfast. So instead I’ll leave you with this new interview with Ron Paul. Enjoy!
Take a look around and leave a nice comment if you find something you like. Thanks!
