The holidays are getting ready to run us over once again. There was a time when this time of year brought out the best in everyone. Now a days it only seems to bring out the worst. I used (I hate using this word) to love this time of year. I guess as I get older I turn more and more into a Scrooge. I liked making/buying gifts for everyone and getting things from people. I can't go near a store the closer we get to Christmas for fear of killing someone. I honestly believe it has to do with the area I live in. When we lived in Raleigh we went shopping on Black Friday and had a blast. Everyone was so friendly and cheerful. Here people would kill each other for a discount. They get very mean and rude. I've taken to letting my wife do the last minute/discount shopping and I come up with homemade items. I don't get along well with others (which is funny seeing as I'm a Nurse). Then my family is a bit insane (as if they're all not). So, I'll run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off and try to make my rounds to different family member's house/party/dinner or whatever is going on.
In other news: Our friend is coming up for Thanksgiving so we get to spend time with all of them. Can't wait to see everyone again. I think it will be a better time as no one will be constrained by work and such. That way the time we spend together with be relaxed and we'll be able to talk freely, without worrying about the time. I always get like a little kid when we plan on spending time with them. I'm get so excited I can't sit still. Then I start to ramble, as if that's not obvious!
I'm having trouble finding a program to add light to my Halloween video. I need something like Photoshop for video. Any help/ideas? I haven't worked with touching up video so I don't know where to look/begin. It would be great to be able to see something more than just a flame floating in the air and my face appearing under it. I know I'm going to have to do another video of my fire eating as it was only me "kissing the flame" and it's very jerky as my wife had a difficult time finding me in the view finder. I still want another video of me actually eating the flame. I'll have to come up with some sort of routine for that one.
Enough for now.
Best.

Harley, you've been missed bud! Isn't this what "the holidays" is all about. Family, friends...
Oh, by the way you've been tagged re: 6 weird things. Sorry. I got tagged and needed to tag. I usually don't do this but I've know my tagger (internet wise) for several years. I had to follow through. You're there bub... you have to jump over to my blog to see what you've been tagged for. But then again, you don't have to if you don't want to.
Take care and enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends.
