What Was I thinking
Ever have one of those moments when you could just smack yourself in the head with a mallet. Well I had one last month and have been paying for it ever since. My son wanted to learn to play an instrument so he could get into the school band. He had tried playing a trombone when in elementary school and didnt really seem to like it and eventually gave up his career playing instruments. Now the boy has decided he wants to start all over again and learn to play an electric guitar. I’m sure this was brought on by his obsession with playing rockband and guitar hero with his friends. Anyway to make a long story short I decided to give in and let him start playing an instrument again. This time however instead of going out and buying him a new one we found some nice clearance used instruments online at an ebay store. He picked out a pretty nice electric guitar, amp and stand for half the price It would have cost me at a local music shop. Well needless to say once he got that new guitar in his hand he hasnt put it down since. I’m now dreading the endless screeching and not so musical sounds coming from his room. Oh well I guess we’ll chalk this one up to another lesson learned the hard way.
Belated Happy Holidays
I was on vacation over the holidays and wasn’t able to get this post up any earlier but I hope each of you were able to enjoy the Christmas season to its fullest. My family and I were able to spend tons of time together, share gifts and visit other family members. The wife and I didn’t exhange gifts this year as we have some major purchase we need to make this spring. We plan on building a new deck , getting a hot tub and perhaps do some other landscaping around the yard. I just wanted to jump in and wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Not That Norm – Please Read!!!
Ok I just bought this domain a few weeks back because I wanted to create Norm’s world and explore learning web development and get used to the world of blogging. There evidentally is a Norm Stulz out there that is a comedian. I keep getting asked to do shows, perform charity functions and sell CDs, which I would love to do, however, I’m not that Norm. I’m sorry for the confusion but the previous owner decided not to renew their domain and I will be developing my own blog here. Those of you looking for the comedian I’m sorry that’s not me.
What To Buy My Wife
I dread buying gifts for my wife, every Christmas i seem to get it wrong. This year I’ve taken a differnt approach and started watching the IE history bar to see what type of websites she’s been going too. Seems she spends a lot of time looking at websites selling coach designer handbags and several other fairly expensive womens accessories. Another favorite of hers seems to be a company that makes beaded purses that aren’t quite as expensive as Coach bags but still arent cheap either. I bet though with the economy the way it is I can find some Mary Frances designer handbas on clearance. If i strick out I may go a completely diffrent route and buy her a used ladies golf club set she’s said for years she wanted to learn how to play. Any way I go Im sure I wont get her exactly what she wants. Perhaps the best christmas gift is just to hand her some cash or stick with old standbys like jewelry and furs.
Welcome to Norm Stulz.com
Welcome to my first ever atempt at making a website here at Normstulz.com. I havn’t the slighest clue as to exactly what I’m doing but will make every effor to get up to speed on all the latest in blog creation. I’m really not sure what type of topic’s I’ll be discussing here but rest assured the will most likely bore the heck out of most of you. In the odd case that you happen to actually find something here worth reading and would like to add some input please feel free to leave a comment. Just so long as it’s not a bunch of vulgar spam as those I’m sure I’ll have to block or deal with in some fashion. I’ve heard horror stories about people starting their own websites or blogs and then getting mass attacked by spammers of all types. Oh well I guess that’s enough yammering for an intro post so until I write again have a good day.
