Slideshow

On Saturday we had a party for Keeley's 2nd birthday that was February 8th. I put together a little timeline kinda slideshow of her first 2 years.

St Elmo's Fire

So I'm out driving today listening to this cool Jack FM station that plays some 80's music. I hear this song St. Elmo's Fire (by I can't remember who, and I've actually never even seen the movie) and I had this great memory come up about that song. My freshman year of college I roomed with this guy named Keith. I don't even remember his last name. Keith was one of the strangest guys you'll ever meet. He had this room to himself and I transferred in mid-year to the room (not to college). When I get there, he says, "I'm not the most organized guy, hope you don't mind." He had all his stuff in one gigantic pile all on his half of the room. Except some clothes that were in the closet. He'd come in sometimes in the middle of the night and dig through the pile looking for something loud enough to wake me up. He'd always ask me about these crazy schemes he'd have. He once rented a truck trailer and had a haunted house in the trailer and charged admission for people to come through this truck. He had a bunch of people on our floor as actors in the haunted house. He also kept asking me about his scheme for pickup dry-cleaning. Where he thought college kids would pay to have someone pick up things that needed dry cleaning and pay a little extra for the service. This coming from the same guy that had the ball of his possessions on his side of the room. His dad was rich and ended up financing a lot of these ventures for him. Anyway, back to the song. I'd walk in the room, many-a-day and find him sitting in his little desk chair listening to the stereo. He'd listen to this song, St Elmo's Fire. And when I say he'd listen to it, that was the only song he'd ever listen to. He'd ask me every single time, "This is a great song, isn't it?" I got so tired of that song. But it really made me laugh when I heard it today. I guess it's more funny to me than to everyone else.
