You’ve heard me very rarely gripe about the cold winter weather in Tampa this season. It wasn’t just all talk.

6th Coldest February
4th Coldest Jan & Feb combined
10th Coldest Winter (Dec, Jan, & Feb combined)
Ranked 2nd for “Most # of Days 60 deg or less”
Ranked 27th for “Most # of Days 40 deg or less”

Full report from the NWS Tampa

I recieved this from my ex girlfriend Kathy. I think this is a great cause & will be donating later this year. I promised Kathy that I would pass the info along & spread the word. The deadline is Oct 28th, 2010.

Hey all,
sorry to make it so impersonal, but I’m trying to send out alot emails to spread the word… so please pass this along to anyone you know that might want to help me.Almost all of you know that I lost my mom to breast cancer in Dec of 2008. I am fighting back by doing the 3-Day Walk in October with my Aunt Niki. There are many women out there who have been diagnosed with this disease and there will be more in the future. You can help find a cure by supporting me in my walk. I need to raise $2,300 for the walk, and all of the money goes to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the cure foundation and their research.

Please go to http://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2010/TampaBayEvent2010?px=4736366&pg=personal&fr_id=1472 to donate. If you would rather donate by cash or check you can mail that to me and I can send it to them. (Kathy’s address is my old address in Clearwater).

Thank you so much for all of your support and love! Please, let’s find a cure so someday no one will need to suffer!

Kathy Oldenburg

The past few days, I’ve had a cold which included a sore throat. The sore throat still lingers a little, but I believe the cold is gone. I also think my alergies started up early. I have also discovered that I have a chest cold. I usually get a chest cold every winter season usually 2 weeks after the onset of significantly drier air is in place. Since I didn’t get the chest cold back in Dec, I thought I escaped it. Wrong.

So yeah, very mild allergies and a chest cold which can linger for weeks. Grrr.

So, I started another job. It appears that this can be more profitable than Courier driving & Auction driving. I’m excited. I’m so broke, its not even funny. I have to do whatever it takes to pay my bills. If you are keeping track at home, I now have 3 jobs.

Last night, I went out on a date. Yes, with a woman. It was my first date since the crazy melissa days back in November. The date went very well. Infact, it went better than I had expected. The date consisted of a relax atmosphere. I picked her up, went to a sports bar, & played some darts over a few drinks.

Check out 2 clever & funny parody songs made about Casey Anthony last year. She’s the Orlando woman who let her kid rot away in the trunk of her car.

checked out haiti on google earth (google imagery was taken after the quake). That place was in really bad shape prior to the quake. Check out the Palace and then look about 1 block south and 2-3 blocks NE. Almost pure poverty. It reminds me of images from the movie Slumdog Millionare. I wouldnt be surprised if Haitians were getting better care now than ever before.  Its sickening to hear reports of Haitians saying its other countries responsibility to help them. What little gov’t they had was usless.

I pass by 20-30 homeless people a day who could use the aid, food, & water that is currently going to haiti. So freaking sad. Why not a Red Cross ad of “Help Americans. Text 99999 for $10 donation”. Yeah, you don’t see those ads - well you do after a disaster.

And I do think its sad what happened to them. I’m so thankful I don’t live in such shambles. I’m so thankful to have a really crappy job. They were in horrible shape prior to the quake. Where was our compassion then? There wasn’t any. Nobody cared about Haiti prior to the quake and in 1 year, nobody will again. Since most of the gov’t officials died, maybe new leaders will take a stand and actually help build a stronger & better place. But then again, why make that kind of investment & care about your people when you know other nations will step in when disasters happen. Must be nice to have that safety net.
