what it is

So it’s been a while. Yes I know. That’s just how I roll.

Past few weeks have gone pretty well. Went to “Chicago” last weekend for the kids hockey tourney. We ended up winning which made for a great weekend. The kids were really happy and it was great to win. Unfortunately, our 6 game win streak ended Wednesday night with a 5 to 1 spanking.

Saturday I finally got around to doing some things I’ve been meaning to do around my place. I fixed the garbage disposal, mopped the floors, dusted, and did my taxes (I love getting money back). Went out a few nights… didn’t get too crazy, but still had fun.

Yesterday was a pretty long day. Got to work about 7:30 am… left around 10:15 PM. We go live this Thursday, so things are a little crazy. After work, made a pit stop at the Loon to see some friends who were in town from Houston. Don’t worry, I didn’t have any Jack and Cokes, just a few beers and sausage pizza. After I got there… I was informed there was some really hot guy named Chase from some Gossip show. I saw him… wasn’t too impressed. But then… the door opened, and in walked Owen Wilson. I was a lot more impressed with him (Hello… Zoolander, Royal Tannenbaums, the list goes on). Anyway… it’s only Tuesday, and I’m ready for Friday.

Back to the hotel life

But this time I'm in Chicago

Somewhat Success

This past weekend I was somewhat successfully in completing most of my tasks. Status update:

1. Clean Room - 75% cleaner
2. Clean Bathroom - 50% cleaner
3. Laundry - 100%
4. Mop Floors - 5% -- I thought about it
5. Vacuum - 0% -- I didn't think about it at all
6. Throw Some D's - 100%

Overall, I completed more than half. Pretty decent I guess you can say.

This weekend I leave for Chicago to help coach a kids hockey tournament. The high on Friday is in the single digits... so it will be just like my good ole days in Minneapolis. Should be fun driving in a city I've never been, and hopefully I'll have some time to see some sites (Other than the inside of the bar with parents).

The past week or so I've also been hanging out with a new girl. She's kept my interest thus far and is actually really nice and fun. Shocking that she still talks to me, considering I forgot her name minutes within meeting her, but then again, I was drunk, but so was she. So it all works out. We'll see how it all un

Best mileage so far in the jeep

Goals for the weekend

1. Clean Room
2. Clean Bathroom

4. Mop floors
5. Vacuum
6. Throw some d's

Any bets on how many of the 6 above tasks will get done. I'm going to very optimistic and say 6.

Back in the day

an old friend sent me some college photos... good times...

College friends with Leslie

Ski Trip 2004... poker and drinking... good times

Welcome to 2008

Well, it's here. I made it another year. Time is just flying by, before I know it, it will b e 2050. Can't wait for that. It will definitely be a party.

Last night was definitely a party. Unfortunately I don't remember a lot of the night. But I think the 3 second video of my roommate summarizes things up the best (I was the video taker... as you can see, my hands were not steady as I went):

Some highlights of the night include but are limited by my memory:

1. My first McDonalds Hamburger ever, i ate two. They were t-t-t-t-t-tastay tastay
2. Drinking three beers and a Jameson-Coke prior to going to the all you can drink for one low price party
3. Watching several white boys do dance offs
4. Roomie vomiting on one of the bartenders.
5. Charlie the cab driver who started the night off for us with some rock and roll. Love it.
6. Heart to heart with my roommate where I apparently cried a little
(Apparently someone who is wearing a bracelet, a female of course, thought it would be funny to flick us off while taking the picture... .thanks)
7. Me being MacGyver and trying to pick the lock on JR's door. Eventually climbing up to a strangers balcony, and then getting a post from DF to up to the third story balcony, only to find out the balcony door was locked.
8. Walking 2 miles to get home from JR's place at 4:00 AM... priceless

I think all in all it was a fun night, and a decent way to start out 2008. This is me breathing.
