The world unofficially ended today, Johnny Damon is a damn Yankee ...

Merry Christmas to all!

How lame is this? Sending a festive greeting to my loyal followers in cyberspace. I had meant to send the Christmas cards out this year. Needless to say, you didn't get one from me, the JB. So I'm throwing a party. It's at a place called Jamie's in London. Great name. I visited there earlier in the year. Sadly, I won't be there as I'm here in Australia, but tell them I said 'G'day!'. Trust me. I'm sorry I cheated again and posted an old picture. My camera is currently on the blink, I don't have a connection to the computer and my photo opportunities are surprisingly drying up these days.

More surprising than seeing Kobe Bryant dump 62 points in three quarters of action on the Dallas Mavs today was the departure of Johnny Damon from Boston. It's like selling your soul to the devil for $US52 million, only worse. Needless to say, I'm disappointed.

Today marks my third week back in Oz and almost two weeks back on the job, which goes to show that time flies, no matter whether you're having fun or not. Work is kicking my behind. The weekdays generally consist of me waking, getting ready, around 90 minutes door-to-door on the commute, (insert work here), around 90 minutes door-to-door on the commute, getting unready, sleeping. Pretty simple really. I'm looking to the weekend and Christmas. Luckily, I don't have to work on the sacred day, which would go against my moral belief system anyway. But with Momma Blog working at the nursing home and the siblings with the families of their significant others, it might just be Poppa Blog and myself gearing up to watch some NFL games via satellite. Just like a normal weekend, until everyone gets home and then we can open presents. Back to work the next day!

What else is happening? Preparations are taking place for K-Beezer's wedding and earlier this week Poppa Blog and myself received our Geelong membership and seats at Skilled Stadium. I'm (not-so) quietly confident for next year.

Anyway, I wanted to spread some Christmas cheer and wish you all the best for the New Year. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable festive season and make 2006 a year to remember! Stay blog savvy!
