Holiday Gifts

Remember that Early Holiday Wish List that I posted at the beginning of the month? Well, it's pretty amazing that I got pretty much 3 out of 4 of those things!!

1. The 320gb Hard Drive: my mom sent me a check for $200 and you bet I went online and bought that hard drive right away! I transferred the files and installed it in my laptop ASAP! And now I have an extra external hard drive as a bonus! :)

2. MacBook Battery: still working on this one... Cost is $130... I can't afford it right now. But I just checked the battery's statistics right now:

• Original Battery Capacity: 5020 mAh (Don't ask me what mAh stands for.. I dunno lol)
• Current Battery Capacity: 629 mAh - 12% of the original.
  

LOL, isn't that ridiculous? and this is only after 29 months. Well, anyway, it's definitely time for a new battery because I can't get more than 15 minutes of use without plugging it in.

3. Cuisinart Blender/Food Processor: so it turns out that my family DID buy one of these a long time ago and they just never used it. SOOO I went home and grabbed it and now I own one! Well, without the food processor part, because they lost it... BUT I have the blender! And I've been making myself smoothies since I've gotten it. YUMMY!

4. Iron Gym: I didn't think I'd be getting this one, but the other day, the 26th, I went to CVS Pharmacy with my ex, Jen, after having dinner at Islands. She needed medicine because she was getting sick, so I tagged along. There I was in the aisle for Sudafed when I turned around and saw the Iron Gym on the top shelf of the next aisle. I ran over and grabbed it, checked the price, and proceeded to go buy it. LOL. $30. :) So I put it together, and tried it out on my door. UNFORTUNATELY, my door frames are too wide. LOL. But, the quick fix is to extend the bar (which is not recommended, but i'm going to do it anyway).

So yay for Christmas gifts! I'm happy that I got what I wanted this year! I can't remember a year where I actually got most of the gifts that I asked for! So that's pretty nice!

Did you all get what you wanted this year? What did you guys get? What was your favorite gift?

Christmas Starts Today! (at least for me, it does!)

You guys have no idea how excited I am for today. Today marks the beginning of Christmas for me! :)

"Dude, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Why the hell are you already celebrating Christmas?!"

HAHA - well, I'm glad you ask that. TODAY will be my first performance to the public in the Christmas parade at work! I'm so freakin excited, you have NO idea. I LOVE this damn parade. I'm such a big nerd... and a big gay! AJ asked me tonight: "Your mom knows you dance in a parade at Disney... but doesn't know you're gay?" LOL. In all honesty, she probably knows but just doesn't want to see it... and I don't really want to clarify it for her either. Not yet, anyway.

Back on topic!: The Christmas parade is soooo freakin' magical. I just love it! The music is amazing and the dancing is so fun. I can't contain my happiness right now! WEEE!! I just wish that all of you can experience it in person! I know at least one of you will be seeing it soon - and hopefully it doesn't disappoint. But if anyone is planning on visiting The Happiest Place on Earth this holiday season, PLEASE let me know! I would love to say hi to you while I dance down Main Street! HAHA.

So here's a video of me! I'm so glad I found this. I had never seen this one before but it's ME for like.. 30 seconds! So you first see me at 1:03, coming towards the camera from the background. I'm the guy in the white chef's outfit, dancing next to the Gingerbread Cookie. And I stay in view until 1:28! How fun! I might look a little... tired... cuz this is at the end of the parade route. But that's really no excuse... I'm pretty disappointed in my performance right there actually.



And yes, I'm in a wig and have a fake mustache on. That's not what I actually look like. Although that wig is pretty cool... would LOVE long hair like that. And auburn hair. HAHA. Yeah, they gave the auburn wig to the Asian. LOL.

If I find a better video of me, I'll definitely post it. And I definitely plan on getting video of myself in my new role soon. And I'll most definitely post that! But if you want a preview of what that part is, it's from 8:00 - 8:23 in the video. I'll be one of those guys dressed in the green "pimp" outfits. LOL :)
