Sometimes I just get stuck in my own head. I get so wound up about something that I just can’t get the thought out. Typically the gym works wonders for getting out the kinks in my brain. I don’t have the luxury of going there until noon so I’ve tried to drown out all the confusion by music.

I never really could figure out why I turn to loud music when confused. It hit me this morning while I searched for the appropriate song. I just want to stop thinking. I just want thoughts to get out of my head. I don’t want to think anymore.

On a completely unrelated topic, it appears “Effin” did not go over well with…everybody. So that’s off the block for middle names. The middle name for M2 is pretty easy to pick. On both sides of the family Alan (or Allen) is the common middle name for the men. So Allen (or Alan) will be M2’s middle name. I’ve tried the shout test in hopes one first name sticks out better than the other. “COLE ALAN MOTYLINSKI! GET BACK HERE” or “TAYE ALLEN! DON’T TOUCH THAT!” All seem to work out fine. We might just end up flipping a coin.

Over the weekend my brother and his lovely wife brought Avery William to this world. 9lb 8oz of all boy. Even at a glance he looks like a Motylinski, crooked nose, baggy eyes…Job well done Drew. He has the most beautiful hazel-blue eyes from Michelle’s side of the family. I do hope he hangs on to them. He was also born with more hair than I’ve ever had. He didn’t cry much, being of this world for only 10 hours or so I’m sure he was tuckered out.

I really did fear holding Avery. I kept going on about all the Baby Stories Court and I watch on TLC. Believe it or not, I’ve picked up a few things from watching those dads stumble through the first couple of days. I was so worried about his little, wobbly neck, I didn’t want to hurt him. Afer a few moments of holding him I settled into Unclehood and started promising everything under the sun.

One day after Avery joined us Courtney and I learned the gender of our own little bundle. It’s a boy! w00t! Yet again the Motylinski gene shines through. We’re 9 for 10 with the boys. You can read Court’s entry about our top baby names. My quest is to try and convince her that Effin is a legitimate middle name for the child. Nothing would be better than Cole Effin Motylinski.

Yesterday I read an article on Digg proclaiming the release date for the new Nintendo handheld had been broken and it was available at Targets and Walmarts across the country. Up until yesterday I had little to no interest in getting a DS Lite. Prior to yesterday the only games that even peaked my interest were the new Mario Bros. game and one called Brain Age (it’s supposed to make you smarter). But after hearing that I could procure one 10 days before the official release date sent me into a tizzy.

Court and I went to our local Target to pick up a few necessities for the weekend. I casually RAN to the game isle in hopes of scoring one at my first store. No luck. In fact, it looked like they had stocked them, then pullled them because their shelves were mysteriously very empty. The hunt had begun!

We returned home. I threw on a more comfortable outfit and told Court I was heading out for a Geek Hunt. I needed to find a DS Lite. I invited her along fully expecting her to turn me down. To my surprise she was game. We hopped in the car and started driving.

We ran around to a few more Targets and one Walmart but I wasn’t able to find a DS Lite on sale. The best I found was a demo unit at Walmart. Although I never found one I still enjoyed the thrill of trying to. Being the first nerd on the block to have one is always fun. Of course, most of the time I’m the ONLY nerd on the block.

Will I get one when its finally released on June 11th? Maybe. By then, though, I bet I’ll be on to the next greatest thing. But until then I’ll continue to check the local Target hoping to score one. Today rumors are floating around that Nintendo moved the date to June 1st. My hunt continues…
