Life in Norfolk, keeps going on....

I would have never thought that I would enjoy work more than my time off, however, that is not the case here. I have two new roomates and while they seem to be decent fellows I have absolulety no privacy whatsoever and hours of lying awake listening to crappy rap cell phone ring tones do nothing to comfort me. I am in the process of working out my housing allowance with the US. Government and will hopefully be able to have my own room and kitchen. That is basically all that has been going on.
Work has proven to be very stimulating and unique (how many people can say they work on helicopters for a living?) I enjoy it for the most part although I am not planning on making a career out of it. I am healthy and thriving in this very livable Va. climate. If anyone would like to visit I'd be more than happy to have company (depending on my schedule). For now. Andrew

More Homer quotes

I found tons of these in my quest..

Homer: "There's your giraffe, little girl."

Ralph Wiggum: "I'm a boy."

Homer:" That's the spirit. Never give up"

"Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems."

"How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?"

"I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman."

Scully: "Homer, we're going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions. Do you understand?" Homer: "Yes." (lie dectector blows up)

Homer Simpson quotes


  • (upon meeting aliens) "Please don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!"
  • "I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here."

  • "To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?"
  • "Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos."

  • "What! There's money in the grease business?! In that case my veins are flowing with liquid gold!"

One thing that really annoys me...

When I'm riding in a virtually empty bus and a new boarder has to pick the spot right next to me to sit down when there are numerous others seats that haven't been taken. Or am I the only one who rides the bus?
Yep, I'm the only one who rides the bus.

Well, I am down here in Williamsburg Va. and I have to admit that it is one of the prettiest places that I have ever been to in Virginia. My buddy Ryan and I visited the Colonial town this afternoon and plan on spending the day there tomorrow. I'll post some pictures later.
