Hello gang, another Christmas has come and pass, and it was good. My nephews got a Wii for their house which made my Mom sad since they now do not have a reason to come over here now (since their Wii has more games than ours, paraphrased from my nephew. My Mom got a Karaoke Machine (the nice professional one from Costco) from us kids, I think my Mom has never been more excited for a gift. My dad (as well as I) got Ipod Nanos, he also got a car adapter (I already have a car adapter.) My brother got a ton of shirts, a tool kit, a decal for his alma mater for his car (Radford University), and a briefcase for his new notebook computer (from me). My sister got the entire collection of Sex and the City, every season, I think she freaked when she saw it since she has been wanting that for a long time. I also got a Nike watch, the afformentioned Ipod, all three seasons of "How I Met Your Mother" (more for my Mom than for me), and the Mel Brooks movie collection (including Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and History of the World, part 1.
More update on gifts and such on Saturday when we go to Winnie and Bob's house.
On a side note, I got the best Christmas gift I could possibly get by having my super huge interview with Army Logistics on Dec 31st. I REALLY hope I get this position since this really seems like the type of career path I want to take. Plus the position is cool since it is a way to support the Men and Women of the Armed Forces by making sure their supplies reach point B from point A. Well, more on this after Wednesday.

Weird Dream
I had one of my weirder dreams last night. So in this dream I was a time traveler. But there was a reason I was able to bend time and space, the reason was this mouse that was my pet. This mouse was not the only one that could do it, he was part of a family of mice that had the power to bend the space/time continuum at its will. The problem was that we were near this shed (yes a normal, run of the mill shed). This shed represented absolute logic and would suspend the powers of the mice and my powers as well and thus we were both fading away. So anyways, we were stuck by the power of this shed until a girl saved us (do not remember what she looked like, just a random woman), and together we destroyed the shed, but the problem was that by destroying the shed, the shed was the center of all logic and order in the world and the world dipped into chaos..unfortunately, at this point I woke up, so I'll never know how my adventure as a bender of the space/time continuum will end...
Maybe someone out there can help to end it for me.

Some of my favorite things, part I: Pro Wrestling
As many of you know (well all none of you), if Tom has one guilty pleasure that he watches religiously, that would be the wonderful world of Pro Wrestling. Now I know what some people say, it is not real, it is a fake sport, blah blah blah. I know it is not real, as in it is scripted, but the risks these guys and gals take every night to entertain fans like me is VERY REAL. If you do not believe me on that, just look up Owen Hart or Darren Drozdov, okay, I did it for you. Both of these guys were in the prime or just getting into the prime of their careers in wrestling, when one tragically died (I remember that night well, it was a PPV that my brother and I ordered, one of the worst moments I've ever seen on television) and the other had a freak accident with a botched move and is now a quadriplegic.
What these wrestlers can do to contort their bodies, jump from insane heights, and in some cases, both. But the wrestling itself is only half of what they do. They are also have to act. I mean the acting level on these guys is basically the same as a soap opera, but essentially, wrestling is like a soap opera for guys.
I've been watching wrestling since I was a young kid and seeing Hulk Hogan battling Andre the Giant and teaming up the Mr. T. I've seen some great moments in wrestling history and I'd like to give you some of my favorite moments/angles/matches for me in no particular order:
1. The forming of NWO - Maybe the most groundbreaking move in wrestling history. Up until this time, Hogan was a good guy and the most popular wrestler of all time, but to turn him into a bad guy and then align him with some of the best of the business (at that time) like Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and others, well, that was one I'll never forget.
2. Steamboat vs. Macho Man - A match that was basically 15 years ahead of itself. It was an aerial show that really no one outside of Mexico and Japan had seen before and the greatest match in Wrestlemania History.
3. The Four Horsemen - Flair, the Andersons, and Tully Blanchard, those four are a MAJOR reason why I am a wrestling fan today, the first real stable in wrestling and one of the best groups ever formed
4. CM Punk winning the WWE World Title - This was a great moment for me since I did not even see it coming, and it was a nice surprise, plus, CM Punk is awesome!
5. Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon (Ladder Matches) - These matches were two of the best matches I've ever seen, especially at the time, since no one had really ever done this kind of match before
6. TLC I and II - Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, OH MY! Those matches that involved the Dudley Boys (Tables) vs. The Hardys (Ladders) vs. Edge and Christian (Chairs) were some of the most brutal matches I've seen outside of ECW. I really think all six teams that were involved in these matches lost at least months if not years on their lives
7. Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle - These two fought back and forth for the TNA World title for months and every match between these two were awesome
8. Mankind vs. The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell) - This was one of the most brutal matches I've ever seen, the punishment that Mick Foley took was pretty much something that no normal human should be able to take.
9. Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat - Greatest match ever! Nothing else needs to be said, just watch and enjoy two of the greatest wrestlers in their absolute primes
10. Stone Cold vs Vince McMahon - Probably the greatest angle of all time and the biggest reason WWE won the ratings war in the 90s

First day of Subbing
I completed my first day of substitute teaching and I have to say it was a blast. I worked in PE class and the kids played mat ball, which is an indoor version of kickball, only instead of bases there are mats. I am glad for all but the last class I had Mr. Coghill there with me to help direct traffic but the last class I got to deal with the class solo (we split the class and he took half of them to the other gym and they did jump rope and hula hooping and halfway through class we switched). Man, I cannot wait to get my next substitution assignment, it was SO much fun.

Fredericksburg
I wish I knew where I will be in the next five years. I am hoping out of Fredericksburg and on with my life. But alas, we never know what the future lays out for us. Not that I do not like Fredericksburg, on the contrary, it is a wonderful city that has the comforts of Small Town America with the conveniences of a city bigger than what it really is. I've never really talked much about Fred before but I'm going to talk about her now. I've lived in Fredericksburg now for 24 years, and in the Fredericksburg Area for 28. In this time I've seen her grow up right along side me. When I moved into the city when I was 6 years old, Route 3 was not the big commercial trap that it is now. In fact there was nothing but farms, the "brand new" Spotsy Mall, and Shannon Greene Golf Course. People actually shopped downtown. The hospital was across from the high school, The old high school was there and was just finished with its final expansion. Walker-Grant was still the old school near Hazel Hill and Mayfield.
But this city has grown. We've seen three schools built, New Walker-Grant, Lafeyette Upper Elementary, and the Brand new James Monroe High School. Shannon Greene was bought underneath trustee's noses and in came the thing that city residents complain the most about and yet is the one thing that has kept our city afloat, and that is Central Park. We've seen Mary Washington Hospital go from being this old, worn down, beat up looking medical facility into a world-class medical campus with multiple clinics and offices surrounding the aesticically pleasing, technologically-advanced main facility. We've seen Route 3 go from being just another rural road in Fredericksburg into the commercial and residential nerve center of our city and area.
I love this city and if I can stay in the area, I probably will. But if turns out that I am to move on to other areas of the country or world for that matter, I'm ready, but I will always hold a special place in my mind and in my heart for my adopted home and the place I've lived in for the majority of my life.

It is Turkey Day
Hello blogosphere, it is I once again to talk about probably not much. So today is Turkey day and in a few hours I'll be making my way to my cousin Karen's and her husband Mark's house to have the Thanksgiving meal. It should be a good time, hanging out with the family, watching (dreadful) football, and eating more food than a human should be able to intake. I dont really have much else to say other than I'm thankful for all of my family and friends that I have and hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and I also hope everyone gets what they want to get for Black Friday.

Museum Trip
I went to the National American History Museum today with Shannon and had an awesome time. We saw some big engines, early American Electronics, A Dodge Caravan (This was the first car I ever drove), A Sega Genesis (I feel real old seeing a Genesis in a museum, I still own one), Julia Child's kitchen (Come to find out, she did not really drink on her show, it was actually some stuff called Gravy Master and water), The Star Spangled Banner (That definitely touched the patriotic cord, the pipe band there helped with that as well), and also R2D2 (Picture of Shannon and R2 is on Facebook). It was a fun time and hopefully I can go back there again when I have more time to look at the exhibits.
My Aunt and her 2 kids are coming up on Wednesday (well Tuesday night) so I'm looking forward to that. Next week should be fun, with them coming up, Turkey Day at my cousin Karen's house, and seeing many of my family members. Then Friday, well, it is Black Friday and it is also the Fastball concert. So should be a good week for me, we'll see :).

Music discussion
I just want to take the time to talk about music. Right now, I'm listening to Travis's "Why does it always rain on me?" I am a huge music fan and listen to multiple genres. I think my love of music was instilled by two main influences. First my parents, I would remember growing up listening to the beautiful sounds of Motown, the bouncy, happy tunes of the Beach Boys, the British invasion bands like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, and the eclectic sounds of Disco and Funk. The second influence was the fact I grew up in the MTV generation (back when MTV actually showed Music Videos) and would watch videos like Dire Strait's "Money for Nothing" and Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days". These two influences grew my interest in music exponentially.
I've been to a ton of concerts in my time. I remember the first one I ever attended. I was a senior in High School and I went to the Smokin Grooves Concert 1996 with Cypress Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees, and Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. It was so cool, hearing bands I only heard before on TV and the radio. Well, since that concert I've been to several different events in several different genres. I've seen 311 and a group I'd never heard of at the time called Hoobastank (this was before their debut album) at the last ever concert at the Classic Ampitheatre in Richmond (They demolished the place to put more seats at Richmond International Raceway.) I've been to see The Who, who were ok live but not great. I saw Chicago (awful live) and the Doobie Brothers (awesome live).
I've also been to some awesome concert festivals. I've been to two WHFStivals, including one that featured Live playing "Lightning Crashes" when there were strike of lightning in the distance. I went to the Rolling Rock Music festival and my brother and I had caught the worst case of food poisoning after competing in a Hot Dog Eating contest (we finished first and second, my brother bein first, by one bite!) I've gone to the Warped Tour and seen such bands as Rancid, D12, and The Bouncing Souls.
Bands I want to see live in the future are: The Killers, The Editors, Interpol, Jay-Z, and the Arctic Monkeys.

Thoughts 11/13
Well, I had a bit of a shock last night. My Mom had sharp pains and was vomiting left and right. After basically having to drag her out of the house, we went to the hospital. They knocked her out, did some tests, did not really come up with anything, gave her more drugs, and sent her on her way and told her to go and make an appointment with her doctor. She is sleeping right now and seems better but that was really scary to me.
They said it may have something to do with the Gallbladder. Did you know that the human body does not really need the Gallbladder to survive. I guess it was one of those items where it is nice to have but not entirely necessary. I guess it would be like buying a car and having a GPS system inside it. It is not really a necessary thing, but, it does not hurt to have it. Well, I guess in this case, it does hurt to have it. I don't know. Oh well, this was probably not the best analogy for it, but whatever...
Link of the Day: Shannon on News 7!!!! "Wow, that is incredible!" :)
Have a fun-loving Thursday!

Thoughts 11/10
So I paid $1.95 a gallon for gas today. I NEVER thought I would pay sub $2 for a gallon of gas ever again. It was pretty sweet getting over half a tank for 20 bucks instead of the 40-something I paid only a few months ago.
In other news, I've been outside a ton lately. I think my computer going boom was a blessing. I have not even wanted to play an MMO in the last couple of days. What have I been doing? Nothing really, just reading a book, people watching, the things that one does when they are sitting out in the sun. Well, hope everyone has a wonderful Veteran's Day.

11/7 Thoughts
Hello ladies and gents of cyberspace (all zero of you that actually read this...please if you do read this, post a comment, even if it is just a "You suck" or something). So I'm going to watch some HS football tonight. My old high school, JM plays Courtland tonight and if they win they get a #1 seed in the Regional Playoffs. Should be a good time.
In other news, still a member of the 6.5% (newly updated today from 6.1%). I may actually have something though. The Army has a PAID internship program with their logistics program. It sounds like a cool job. Working to make sure that the soldiers have their gear and their stuff. Stay tuned for more from this. As for sub teaching, no word back from the background check. I wish they would hurry the hell up and get it done because not working is really driving me crazy.
Oh well, no link of the day today since I'm lazy and don't feel like finding something today.
Update: JM 41 - Courtland 18 and JM clinches a #1 seed in the Region and home field throughout the playoffs.

So I'm 30 now
So now I'm 30. No big deal. I had a good birthday. I voted. I hung out with my nephew and the parents. Then I went to NOVA, hung out with Shannon and her family and went with Shannon to see CNN's election night coverage on a theatre screen. Overall good times, noodle salad. Now if I can get a job or FCPS calls me back, it will be the icing on the cake (no pun intended).
I'm going to keep this one short. So until next time fellow bloggers!

Main Computer go Boom!
Well, I'm on the laptop atm as my main computer's video card went deep six on me. I knew it was kind of limping along so it was not exactly a shock. But I will say this, that card was probably the last NVidia Card that I will ever own. I'm going to go with an ATI card this time (dont know which one yet, I'll figure that out tomorrow.)
In other news, I posted pictures of last year's Thanksgiving at Winnie and Bob's house. That was a great time and I cant wait for this year's fesitivies at Karen's house in a few weeks. Oh well, I dont really have alot to say other than Halloween was pretty fun. I dressed up as a Undead Judge complete with a Gavel, my old graduation robe and some white and black makeup. Went with Shannon to a party in Fairfax then we joined her sister and attended Rocky Horror Picture Show at the University Mall. Overall a fun night.
Oh, one more thing, My brother, sister, and I decided to get dressed up (my brother in his Dress Blues, sister in a nice outfit, and me in my suit) and go and get pictures done for my Mom's birthday. My Mom loved it, but I was disappointed since I was expecting to see some Niagra Falls. I will try to scan those pictures in sometime soon and post them onto facebook.

Today is not a good day
What a shit day this has turned out to be so far. First, my sister had court today to deal with the custody of her children. Well it ended up being a preliminary hearing and my sister now has custody officially of my younger nephew, Daniel. Now here is the fucked up part. The EARLIEST date for their big court date is May 14th!!!!! I could not believe it. Neither could my Mom and sister.
Then, my brother just got word that he is going to be shipped overseas in 2-3 weeks. They said he is most likely heading to Gitmo or Baharain. They are also extending his stay in the Navy by 4-5 months. Oh, and still no job for me....good times noodle salad for the Hayden family.

Job Fair Part Deux
Well I got back from the job fair earlier. It was MUCH better than the Fredneck one yesterday. I am right now trying to think of a cover letter for the NY Fed (even though the job is in Richmond, it would be for the NY Fed). There were actually a few positions that interested me there. I talked to some people and it seemed really cool.
I think my favorite job that I saw there was with Army Logisitics, since their main job is to help coordinate all the stuff in the military and make sure stuff gets to the right place, soldiers get their clothes, weapons, etc. With my brother in the military now, it just would seem like a cool career to get into and something very interesting to me.
I also got some pretty good swag. I got a hat from an government watchdog named FINRA and a couple of nice pens (my favorite is the FDIC one).
So, hopefully something positive comes out of this. Wish me luck people.

I know two posts in one day!
Hehe, didnt expect me to make a 2nd post today, but I am and it will be brief.
Went to said Job fair from the previous post. Found one job that actually pertained to me, though, tbh, I did apply to it as soon as I got home so I guess that was better than nothing. Hopefully something does come out of it, I'm sick of being at home and broke all the time.
There is another issue I have right now, but that is for another day and another time. As for now, I'm heading to bed.
I'll probably post tomorrow after I get home from Job Fair #2, this time at UVA (I have a good feeling about this one, this one seems structured for college graduates)....Good night all zero of you who read this, oh and if you do read this, feel free to comment....

Getting ready for another job fair
Hello again Blogosphere, It is I, Tom Hayden, once again, to talk about something...Oh yeah, this job fair I'm going to.
Job fairs are alright...you go, you mingle with these recruiters, you give them a resume, and it seems to me, you never hear from them again...Well, that is not completely true. I did get an interview from the last job fair I attended. Unfortunately, it was to become an Independent Agent for an insurance company. I could've gotten that job without busting my ass through UMW, but I went to see what they offered (I was hoping it was an actuarial position, sadly I was sorely mistaken.)
Well, I will update again sometime soon, I actually like posting like this since I can go back and see WTF I was thinking later on.
Oh, here is my link of the day:
http://www.erinmckeown.com/ - This was my HS valedictorian, she is an awesome singer and I think I'm going to go and see her perform at 9:30 club in December, if anyone else wants to go, feel free to throw me a line.
Job fairs are alright...you go, you mingle with these recruiters, you give them a resume, and it seems to me, you never hear from them again...Well, that is not completely true. I did get an interview from the last job fair I attended. Unfortunately, it was to become an Independent Agent for an insurance company. I could've gotten that job without busting my ass through UMW, but I went to see what they offered (I was hoping it was an actuarial position, sadly I was sorely mistaken.)

Update of my life
I am a total slacker when it comes to my blog....and I have a TON to report about me...
First, I finally graduated! Got my little piece of paper that says I got a BS degree in Economics...
Still unemployed...but looking, and will be starting Substitute Teaching real soon (hopefully next week).
Not much more, short post..hopefully I start again...of course I said that last time....oh and I didnt stay communications chair long, I moved over to being the Senate Parliamentarian...
