As I write this I’m at jury duty. Yes thats right I got called for jury duty again! I guess I did a really good job last time so they want me back. My last time was in 2000 which means I’m allowed to be called up again since its been more then 4 years. At least this time I have my laptop and ipod to keep from getting bored. Maybe its time to catch up on my blog.

*** Update: I didnt get picked during jury selection. The case turns out to be a medical malpractice suit. The lawyers asked if I had any relatives in the medical field and questions about tort reform. I replied yes my brother and my cousin so I was excused! Now I won’t be called again for at least six years! Its actually weird I thought orginally I would be a fair jury and thought this time it would be an interesting case, but I have a feeling they wanted jurors that weren’t that knowledgable on the subject.

I feel so out of shape today, my arms and shoulders are sore. Yesterday I put up sheetrock at the other house. Trying to put up sheetrock on a ceiling by yourself is very tough. Since it was only one 4′ x 8′ piece I cut it in half so it would be easier to hold up. I still got some spackling and painting to do next.

Ugh so out of shape. I havent done much because of my foot injury, usually I ride like 20 miles 3 times a week either on my road bike or mt bike. The foot is getting better so maybe now I can start that back up before it really gets too cold to ride.

I have to remember to get something tomorrow for mom its her birthday.

Feeling a bit older. Wish this aging thing would stop now.

Valentine’s Day….sucks. A stupid day to make people who dont have someone in their lives feel even worst!!

Top Ten Valentine’s Day Plans Of This Guy

1. “Be his own Valentine” five, maybe six times

My brother calls me in the morning around 10am. He was about to go to school but the Jeep wasn’t in front of his house. He thought maybe it got towed but no it was stolen. Nobody ever had their car stolen on his block. This has been one of the worst week this year. In one week my car gets hit and my Jeep gets stolen and my dad’s car breaks down. Well finally some good news later around 10pm my brother calls. The police found the Jeep. Some girl was driving it with her friends about 14 miles from Pittsburgh. No major damage except they broke the iginition lock and stole some items from the Jeep. I think they got pulled over for DWI cuz my brother found a case of beer in the back seat. Well I’m glad he got back the Jeep. Now hopefully I get my car back quick.

Ive never had a accident nor ever been hit while driving but this Friday night as I tried to visit my brother in Pittsburgh I got hit. No matter how safe you drive others drive stupid. It started as I was entering I-80 from Route 23 in New Jersey. This stupid person in a white SUV decides to slow down almost to a stop one lane highway for no reason. Why you trying to stop when there is nobody in front of you? What an a**hole!. So I slowed down and honked the horn, next thing I know the car behind me hits me. I turn to look and then again another hit. Meanwhile the SUV in front of me hears the crash and takes off not even caring to see if anybody was injured. Well the only good thing was nobody got hurt.

Now, don’t just walk away
Pretending everything’s ok
And you don’t care about me
And I know there’s just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care…

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I’ve had that all I can take
And I’m about to break
Cause I’m happy now,
Are you happy now?

Well after about two days of walking on the roof and running around the basement my cousin Kamal and me finally installed a satellite DISH.

Now mom can watch ZeeTV and other Indian channels.

And now I can add sat/cable tv installer to my resume.
