Day 2: So Far, So Good

Dear Anybody,
I like the sound of that, maybe I'll start each normal post with it. Of course, I have to give credit where credit is due. Jack Johnson, an amazing singer/songwriter who's music I love deeply had "Dear Anybody" at the beginning of one of the CD's that I bought. I like how it sounds, so anybody who is bored enough to read this should definitely check out his work.

Well, this is the second consecutive day of blogging, and as the title states, so far, so good.  It is a bit after 5 pm, so I'd say I can safely discuss the day without much more going on.  Today was fairly uneventful.  I vacuumed out the van, hereafter referred to as Vinny Man the Fugly Slug, or That Ugly Piece of Crap, or something like that. If you haven't caught on yet, Dear Reader, I absolutely despise the Vinny Man. It makes all sorts of noises that it shouldn't, it has a million dents, it is gold (I hate gold cars with a passion) and worst of all: it is a mini van. Yuck. Anywho, Darling Dog Bella was riding with us on the way to work a few days ago, and she has a nasty habit of shedding. A lot. I don't know if dogs shed more when they are excited, or if she is the exception, but, right now she is just laying by my chair and I can literally see the hair coming off of her. So, with her shedding and the visit to the beach that Logan (my brother, you'll see more of him later) and I did last night, there was a lovely mixture of dog hair and beach sand coating the inside of the Shop-Vac.

I don't want to bore you with the details, Dear Reader, so I'll just skip ahead in the day to what I've been doing for the last 1/2 hour. Two words: Robin Hood. I believe I might have mentioned it before, but in case I haven't: ROBIN HOOD IS F*CKING AMAZING!!!! I love it. I just started the third (and sadly final) season, and it is sooooooo good so far. I have a great love of TV shows that can make me laugh and cry in the same episode, and this (as well as my first love, Supernatural) is an expert at it. Everyone, drop what you are doing, acquire a Netflix account, and watch the BBC version of Robin Hood.  You will not be disappointed.

Well, I fear Eddie (my computer) is dying, and I must leave you. Don't feel too bad, because I feel that I will keep this blogging thing up, and be back tomorrow. :)

Peace, Love, and Chickengrease,
Mackenzie

Someone shoot off some fireworks, the blogging has begun!

So, it's my first post on my new blog, which is currently untitled because when I created it, I wasn't feeling inspired enough to come up with a good title. Maybe, if I actually get some followers on this thing, I'll let them (you?) submit a name.

Being that this is a first blog and all, I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. My name is Mackenzie Borek. I hail from the small town of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, but I am headed off to the big bad city (just kidding, I know Eau Claire isn't too big) for college in approximately two months. This is both exciting, and a little scary, because I'M MOVING OUT! Which I obviously haven't done before. But, I think I'll have fun too. I'm moving into an "overflow room" in my dorm, which baiscally means "hey, sorry, we didn't have room for your sorry a**es in any other place, so we thought we'd toss you in here, cheers!" Fortunately, my new 'mates seem pretty cool, from what we've seen of one another on Facebook. Also, did I mention that our room, while being a six-person-room, will only be housing four of us? To quote our dearly messed up celebrity friend Charlie Sheen, "uh, WINning."

My life at home is pretty normal, at least it is to me. I live at home in good ol' BeRF with my parents and my brother, who will be a junior this year, and my adorable, spoiled brat of a dog, Bella. I won't go too deep into detail on that just yet, I think I'll save it for some day when I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to write about.

Since it is past 11:00, and I still want to get in an episode of my latest Guilty Pleasure (just kidding, I totally don't feel guilty about it) the BBC version of Robin Hood before I go to bed, I think I'll cut off the printing press for the night. If all goes well, I should be able to say something else tomorrow!

Peace, Love and Chickengrease~
