Nostalgia...

SO....
This is Paul by the way, and I just wanted to share this video with you, because its about some wierdness going on in a small farming town in California called Greenfield... where I am proud to say: I grew up and walked the streets as a little-Paul, lol. Fortunately I found my bride in a different way than some people seem to be working it back home. I guess I don't miss weird culture-clash stuff like that... but I'd do anything to get my hands on a good Greenfield burrito again, like pay cash, or soda, or beef etc. :) Classic!

And now... story time with uncle Paul... When I was in middle school, I remember walking on a road a little ways out of town, which really isn't that far since Greenfield was like 2 square miles, and my friends and I saw what appeared to be a dead gorilla. Now, I know what you're thinking... you're jealous that you never found a dead gorilla when you were a kid. Yeah, I know, but what can I say, that kind of luck just runs through my veins. Seriously though, it really happened and I have no clue how it got there, I'll let you use your imaginations.

And so, there you have it, these are the fond memories I have of my hometown: human trafficking and dead gorrilas, hahaha I just hope this has been as fun for you to read as it was for me to write.

FINALLY!!!!

24 started again! And I'm sooooo happy!!! It does stink to have to wait a week in between watching episodes, but I'm not patient enough to wait for it to come out on DVD. Happy happy day!

Suprise for Paul

Tuesday I finally got my first quarterly bonus, hooray! Paul and I had big plans of using my bonuses to chip away at our debt, the store that I trained at got $2000 bonuses, so we figured it could make a pretty decent dent in our debt every few months. Upon receiving my check though, I realized that not all stores are created equal... nor do they bonus equally. My bonus was pitifully less than $2000... don't fret... I seized the opportunity to score major brownie points with my hubby. Paul had finally realized that after months of hinting and outright begging, that I was not going to buy him Guitar Hero World Tour (I told him we didn't have room... and we don't). But since we now had some extra money, but not enough to dent the debt... happy Tuesday to Paul... I got him Guitar Hero World Tour. I was sooooo excited all day, I had it all planned out: cashed the check at lunch, quickly went to WallyMart on my way home and then had him come help me with the "groceries". He was pretty shocked and happy, and I was giddy with excitement! For those of you who know Paul, he doesn't show a wide range of emotions, so basically what I got was... a huge grin and a "WHAT?!" and a big kiss.

So party at our house... feel free to come play. Paul's REALLY good, I stink, but we have fun.

P.S. for those of you who don't know Guitar Hero World Tour is a video game were you play music in a band, comes with a guitar, a drum set, and a microphone so you can sing along. Pretty fun stuff!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

So... I play guitar...

Hi everyone, this is Paul again... posting my second blog ever; you should all be so proud. Anyway, a few months ago I had this goal of recording some Christmas music on the guitar in the hopes that it would be done before December and I could send a CD to people. Well... it didn't work out, but a few days ago I did finish song number 4, and I decided to do some research to see if there was a way to post my own music on a blog. Well it is possible, but it takes about... three years. I did finish though so here you are. Let me explain a couple of things though. To listen, click on the player below, where it says posts... scroll down and pick a song. For some reason, it says christmas goodness 3 times, don't click those. Also, the song Jingle Bells is on there twice... I can't explain it, it just so happens that its the one song I would almost prefer nobody heard, but I convinced myself to add it anyway, and there it is... twice. You should listen to that song last because I sing in it, and you don't want to ruin your appetite for the other songs. :) Jenne, do you remember when I told you that I don't have a "church voice," and you asked what that meant? This is what it means... listen to jingle bells... basically... I suck! hahaha But that song was a lot of fun to do so I threw it on there so people could see what kind of weird things I do for fun. Also I added a recording I did of I am a child of god just for fun because a lot of people haven't heard it. Enjoy!

Don't ask me what it means where it says subscribe to podcast or whatever... I don't have a clue. But, should anyone feel the desire to download any of the songs... I don't really know how to do that, but email me and I'll email you the songs... for free, because I'd say they're pretty much worth... free. paulramos84@gmail.com

Greatest Weekend EVER!

Paul and I have been looking forward to this weekend for like... at least 6 weeks. That's a LONG time. It's an all stars line up with two of our favorites:
FRIDAY: Our favorite comedian BRIAN REGAN

It was amazing... this was the second time we have seen him live and once again we were both almost (or actually) in tears and had stomach aches from laughing so hard. Seriously, he's funny on TV and his DVD's but in real life just watching him play off the audience is incredible... if you get a chance to see him, GO!!!!

SATURDAY: Trans-Siberian Orchestra (this is my favorite song)

This time last year....

I was inspired by my cute sister-in-law Kristen's blog of what she was doing this time last year... This time last year I was GIDDY and brand newly engaged as of last night... late, late last night. Sigh... it was so awesome. He wrote me a song and hid the ring in my guitar... so cute. This year I told him that in honor of our engagement anniversary he should write me a song... and a song every year after :) but that didn't happen. Better luck next year. To celebrate we bought our first Christmas tree today. Now I get to decorate HOORAY! I'm sure it won't be anything grand, but I'll post some pictures of what I do... maybe. ;)
