Happy Birthday Mother Teresa!
On Tuesday, (Dec 11), we celebrated my Mother's birthday. It wasn't anything extravagant or out-of-the ordinary - just a pleasant evening spent together. ;-)

All I Want for Christmas…
All I want for Christmas - I am disgusted every time I hear this and I never thought I'd hear it from my family. What ever happened to "it's the thought that counts"? What ever happened to "it's better to give than receive"?
You’re Invited…
Michelle and I are going to get married and you're invited to the reception. We figure, first we'll send out the invitations and once everyone has confirmed that they'll be coming, then we'll start the phone calls: "Hi, we just wanted to remind you about our wedding. And, oh yeah, before we forget - you've been assigned to bring the cake. See you there!"
The Skeletons in My Closet
I was never a part of High School. I went to school everyday but not always to my classes. I was usually in a practice module in the music room, practicing my bass. Every two months or so I was in the Principal's office fighting for them to let me stay in school. I remember the only time I came really close to being kicked out was supposedly because my math teacher had been complaining that I was missing too many classes. I still remember my argument "Tell me, if I have a 98% in Math, the highest mark in the school, why do I need to go to class everyday?" My marks were good but my attendance was "atrociously low".
First Post…
So, here it is: the DM Blog. I have decided to start writing a blog to give me an outlet (or soapbox?) to vent. For those of you that know me, most of you describe me as "difficult to read" and many of you have complained that it's almost as though you don't know me at all... Well, perhaps this blog will give you some of that much-sought-after insight into who I really am, and what makes me tick.
