So today I woke up really early. Not on purpose, just kind of woke up. I checked out what was on television. What I saw was not what I expected. Saturday morning cartoons for starters are not on as early as they were when I was a kid. I remember waking up at like 5:30 or 6am when I was a wee lad and started my morning of cartoons. I had to get some in before I had to do chores so I did this

Well, one of my favorite holidays has come and gone. The Saint Patty's Day parade was yesterday. It was a good time. I caught a hotdog from our Sheriff Williamson. Shared it with my friends. Got some candy and a button. I probably could have got more free stuff if I had a spot right at the edge but I was a few people back. I met Shoo, Mrs. Shoo, Kirsten, Lori, and others out.My camera

So, as many know, I'm a huge Superman fan. Back in 2001 the tv show Smallville started and I loved it. I watched as often as I could. Then I started to get busier, and started watching less and less. Now I won't watch it because I have no idea what is going on and I don't want to ruin it. And yes, it is still on. Smallville is currently in its 7th season and I just read that the CW (

Oh boy, last night was my and Melissa's apartment warming party. We had such a huge food spread it was awesome. Adult beverages and spiked punch and jell-o shots too. It was a good time. I didn't get to bed until about 4am and I passed out when I hit the bed. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, you rock, and those who didn't... where were ya? It's cool, more left over beer, liquor, and food

Question: Are grits and cream of wheat the same thing?Answer: NOCream of Wheat is a hot breakfast cereal invented in 1893 by wheat millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The cereal is currently manufactured and sold by B&G Foods. Until 2007, it was the Nabisco brand made by Kraft Foods. It is similar in texture to grits, but made with farina (ground wheat) instead of ground corn. The product made

I wished for a snow day and I got it. Now, I told myself that I would move the rest of my stuff into my new place if it was a snow day because then I would have tons of time. Well, I didn't really think about how I have to shovel myself out of my parents' driveway and then I will be trudging through the snow at my parents' and my new apartment getting all wet and wearing myself out even

So I have gotten back into reading again. I just finished the novel Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Very good like the movie is good. I now am currently reading The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. It is wonderful. Aparently the book is the basis for the first two movies. Like the first half of the novel is the first movie and the second half of the novel is the second movie. At first I was

Well, maybe I'm having my midlife crisis right now. At the rate that I am going this could be midlife, who knows? Not me. It's been a while since I last blogged, I know. The thing is that not much has changed since I last posted except that a few people got married. Holidays happened. I got hit with the worst flu ever.... twice. Now it is January and isn't January the month for changes?

Well well well. Here we are. As per usual I have been working alot. Usually putting in between 50 to 60 hours a week. Things are well with the family except for my Grandma, she hasn't been doing well recently. Things are good at my place and with the roomie. I hang out when I can or when I am not exhausted. Anymore I am just worn out. I'm back to my split shift day job. It started back

Today I am going to the Cubs Giants game. I am so stoked. I'm going with my dad, Shan, and Jen. It is a birthday present for my dad but no reason I shouldn't be excited too. Only thing is that it is a day game and we have to leave spfld really early so we have enough time to get some grub before the game. Dad is picking me up at 6am and yeah, right now it is 1:30am. I've never been good

Yes, I still do wings on Sundays. It is a tradition going on about 2 years now (or is it 3?). I don't make it every Sunday but I think it is about 3 out of 4 Sundays per month. It is always a good time. Laid back and relaxing. Good cheap wings and cheap beer and baseball on the tv's (or nascar or football depending on the season.) Cubs swept Houston today. Awesome. My dad, sisters, and I

I love Maroon 5. I got their new CD for my birthday from my sister Jen and I listen to it all the time. There are a few in particular that I really like to hear and sometimes start the CD on that song and play from there. You should check it out.The Summer job is going well. Everyone thinks that I've been on a vacation because I have a pretty good tan happening. It is mainly because I take

What a day. Geez. I worked about 13 hours today after a 10 hour day yesterday. I am beat. The next 2 days are just straight 8 hour days though. With my evenings free. Started my summer day job today. The kids a cool. I'm with a specific group the rest of the week until their group leader gets better. It is their second day and there are already issues that usually go along with girls.

Since moving I have inherited a dog. My roommate has a blue tick coon hound and his name is Scooter. He likes to beat me up. It's like having an older brother who for fun likes to pound me every so often. Scooter has left bruises on my arms and has ripped a few shirts so far. He's a cute dog and I hope these photos can capture how huge he really is. Also, he is about a year and a half old.

This has been an interesting weekend. I had high expectations and ended up with totally different results. That is life though, right? I still had an awesome time. Friday was good while working the door. People came out. We had fun. Some had to leave earlier than I thought but there is always next time. Saturday I slept in and then took my mom out to dinner for her belated Mother's Day

Hello. It is actually June. Can you believe it? I'm having a hard time. It seems like it should only be February. I'll take it though. Love the warm weather and having a tan again. Being able to walk outside in shorts and a tshirt and walking around bare foot in the grass. That is such a wonderful feeling.

Me 7 years ago would have hopped in my car and made the trip by myself. I'm almost mad at myself because I didn't go. I rationalized it to myself saying that it would be better for me to just stay in Springfield and try it another time. When will I get another time though? That is what I wonder. I'm getting older and I feel it happening. I don't want it to happen. I'm at a good age. I wish

Hello folks! How's life? Things are pretty good here. Working quite a bit. It's summer... well, almost. I have had sometime off recently from the night job and I have been taking it easy when I am not at work. Went to Chicago 2 weeks ago to volunteer at the Lakefront March of Dimes WalkAmerica. That was tons of fun. I might be taking a big road trip over Memorial Day weekend. Do I see

Yesterday was good. I had the day off from the day job and I slept in which was spectacular. I then did a little more moving of small stuff from my parents' house. I worked the door at DH Brown's and a few people came out and hung out with me at the door which included Kirsten and Lori. I wasn't feeling it on the drinking aspect of the evening so I switched to coke early in the evening.

I have now stayed 2 nights at my new place. I still have a few smaller things to get moved but for the most part I am moved in... well, I need to get to unpacking all the boxes now. I won't have my own computer set up at my new place for a while. I'm sure that G will occassionally let me hop on hers to check my email and check the blogs. I'm getting the drift from my parents, mainly my dad

Well, I have nearly everything moved in except the majority of my clothes and a few other things which have yet to be dug out of my closet. By saying everything is moved means that I have transported it over there. Is there any organization of what I have taken to my new place? Nope. I have yet to get the time for that. So far haven't spent a night there yet but I assume within the next day or 2.

I've been sick(yes, again) I don't know what it is really. I don't think it is the flu. It is a sort of no energy, feverish, sinusy, dry cough thing. I've been taking the necessary precautions such as no alcohol, plenty of sleep, staying hydrated, and medicating myself. I think that I am getting better as it started around Thursday and I am feeling better but not 100% yet.Moving is coming

Huzzah! This is my 1000th blog post since I started blogging back in March of 2004. Crazy how time flies. My life status is finally changing a little bit. I am moving out of the parents house for good. It is about time too. I'm moving to the northside of town. A friend has been gracious and invited me to live at her place for an affordable price in a really nice duplex. Right now I am

Okay. So I don't scare too easily. I do startle easily but that isn't necessarily scared. I'm a little scared. It is about 2:30am and I am sitting here at my computer just browsing blogs and checking my online stuff. It is totally quiet. I grew up in this house and I feel totally safe in this house. That is until something like this happens. When I was growing up we had this Halloween

I am moving out. Not tomorrow, not next weekend, but the plan is by then end of the month. I've got a lot of packing to do. Peace.

Hall & Oates rock. Now, with that out of the way. This has been a great and exhausting week. I have had a lack of sleep due to late night socializing and working quite a bit. Daytime naps have been in full effect this week. Without the naps I probably would have died from sleep deprivation by now. So much going on and so much not going on the blog. Man, oh man. Tomorrow night I am going to

Man, I'm tired. I blame it on my dad. He had me get up super early for a Sunday (9:30am) and help him move a desk into the back of his truck. After that I should have gone back to bed. Did I go back to bed? Nope. For some stupid reason I decided that I was good to go. Now I can barely keep my eyes open. I still may lie down for a bit but then again there is an exhibition game on WGN today

Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? I haven't told many people because this is in the very very early stages. I called my bank to see how big of a loan I could get based on my credit and income. At this point I am just doing this to size up my options. I could rent an apartment, I could rent a house, or I could just purchase a house that would be mine. I know some of you are probably thinking,

I don't know why people don't call people back. Especially when a message is left and in the message it is specifically said to call the person back. Then there is the fact of never calling back. I can understand if a person is busy that day or night but weeks go by without a return phone call is kind of rude. A simple "hey sorry, I've been busy" return call goes a long way. Then I start to

No photoshop editing done here. These are scanned photos of me when I worked at Baskin Robbins circa 1997-98. I can't figure out the date because well... it was so long ago and I don't remember for sure when I bleached my hair. Honestly I had forgotten that I had done that. Check me out!

I don't know what it is but I for the most part haven't gotten out of bed yet today. Besides a little to eat and now a little computer time. I didn't over do it last night either. If I had then I'd think, oh okay, it's because of that. I guess I'm just pretty tired then. I do have to leave for work in an hour. I don't want to go, I hope it isn't busy.Last night was dead at the bar. A few

I was informed that 97.7 the River and then 97.7 TV97 are both no longer. It is now 97.7 "Alice" which I think might be Alice Cooper because I know he has a radio show that is pretty popular. I know a lot of you probably don't care because you have indulged in the ipod craze and never listen to the radio. My thing is that I love the radio, I have no need for an ipod, so I am excited when new

So, I got a call today from Molly. She says, I have to turn on 97.7 on the radio. So I turn it on and it is no longer The River. It is TV97 and is ALL television theme songs. It's crazy. That's all it is. At one point they said they were going to have some commercials and it was a montage of old commercial jingles. I don't know how well a station will do like this because a person can only listen

So we went and I got a supreme pony shoe. Yes, I got a pony, but I did this because we split an appetizer of fried white cheddar cheese balls.

I wish we had a snow blower. I thought we had one but my dad said he sold it over 10 years ago, I don't think that is accurate but who knows. Not me.So I shoveled my car out of the huge snow bank that built up around it. I thought I was being smart by parking under the car port in our duplex drive way. Nope, not really because then I still got burried since the snow was blowing like mad.

Well, the whole city of Springfield is officially closed. When I got the call from Hollywood saying that the store is closed for the day and I don't have to come in, I knew it was serious. This Blizzard is crazy. I really want to go out and play in the snow because how often do you get fresh snow this high to play in? I mean really. BUT I'm a big old wuss and really don't feel like bundling

I love driving in the snow. Okay, there is only half truth to that. I love driving in the snow in the middle of the night when the roads have barely been plowed and I am practically the only one on the road. It is like a ride at an amusement park that I have total control or sometimes no control over. I play it safe enough but sometimes I'll speed up just a little and the hit the brakes a

I finally broke down and switched over to the "New Blogger." Actually I was forced to, somehow it made me do it. I kept looking for that little link that says to not transfer... blah blah blah.

Sometimes I feel like friends have come to a point in their lives. The one where they pick and choose who they still want to be a part of their lives. I have some friends who I feel like they are becoming strangers and there isn't anything I can do to stop it. If I am being weened out, it's okay. I may not like it but it is their choice. I just hope that there wasn't something that I said

Oh, who ever made me sick is gonna get it. jk. But really though, I caught something that I haven't had since I was a little kid. Vomiting and the runs at the same time. Came out of no where too. So, as to not get anymore graphic, I am ending this. I need sleep anyway. I've been sleeping all night anyway. If anyone gets this because of me, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had it. Once I did

I don't know why and I don't have a specific example but many people know what I am talking about. I say, be yourself and stick to spreading the holiday cheer. Only 7 days until Christmas. This is going to be a long week. When you hurt someone

I work. Alot. I feel like I live at Hollywood. Counting later today (Monday 18th) in the past 10 days I have worked 8 closing shifts at Hollywood. But I do have a break... after Monday night I don't work there again until Saturday night. Whew. I'm looking forward to 4 nights off in a row. Well, 1 night will include my door duties at DH Browns but still the same, it is not Hollywood. I've

Well, as usual I've ran myself ragged. I'm sick with something. Probably just a cold. I took a sick day today to rest and get better. I don't know how much better I am feeling. I've been medicating myself hoping that it will get better. As many people probably found out tonight. I have a new cell phone. Yay! About time too! I've been struggling with my ghetto phone for about a month now

Oh my. My sore legs were the focal point at the beginning of my day but by the end of my day I could care less that I have limited mobility. Get me one of those power wheel chairs I see advertised during daytime tv.To start my day I couldn't sleep last night. I have been going on about 2 hours of sleep. That includes my 20 minute nap that I was able to get in during my break between shifts.

Oh boy. Saturday night after I got out of work at the video store I headed downtown. There were quite a few people out and everyone was having a good time. I decided to join in the fun as the mood struck me. The reason why I say Oh boy is that I am feeling it 2 days later. No, I didn't drink too much, not even close. What I am feeling is the extreme soreness in my upper legs. I danced

The internet misses me. Wow, I didn't know that was possible with the millions of users and the millions of websites out there. :)Sorry to my loyal blog readers. I haven't felt up to par lately and I really haven't had anything to talk about really. I work. I try to have a social life. When I am not working and when I am not working or trying to be social, I am usually asleep. Yesterday

Oh man, the drive up was fun. Probably the best ride I've had with my parents in a long time. Not much arguing to speak of really. Then we went to Shannon and Neil's new house in Chicago. It is nice. They have a room all ready for me to move into, Here I come! Just kidding Shan. That is unless the parents kick me out too soon. Then we went to the Church for the rehersal. The usher besides

I slept a decent amount yesterday. I did the nap during the day. That's normal. Then I got home from class, ate and then lay down in bed and I passed out at 9pm. I woke up thinking, hey it must be about time to get up for work. Nope, it was only 12:30am. I was like, whoa, felt like it had been hours and hours. I guess that I am just getting used to sleeping short shifts. I ended up

The IMDB page for Van Wilder 2I never saw this one coming. If anything maybe another one with Ryan Reynolds but no. This one focuses solely on Taj. AND it comes out in just a few weeks(December 1st). How did this slip past my radar? It must not be advertised very well. I did read there is a small possibilty of a Ryan Reynolds cameo but I don't know for sure.Probably to coincide with the 2nd

Just The Way You Are ( Billy Joel ) Don't go changing to try and please me, You never let me down before. And don't imagine you're too familiar, And I don't see you anymore. I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble, We never could have come this far. I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are. Don't go trying some new fashion.

Oh boy, what a long freakin day. And I'm not even working the night job today. I was in charge all day at the day job. Let's just say, I'm pretty stressed. It was nice having a few sets of extra eyes but yeah, I pretty much ran the show from beginning until end. Circus might have been a better way to put it. At one point I thought I was going to lose my voice, it was getting hoarse. I'm

The weekend is over already. Flew by! I did all the shift director stuff tonight by myself with minimal guidance. Now, I just need to work on speed. My pay raise goes into effect next pay period. Yay. I like money. Tomorrow I have to pay a lot of bills. Boo! I hate bills. I get to see 2 of my sisters, my brother in law, my future brother in law, Ed and Amanda, and Jessica and Gavin (the

I must have done something wrong. I think working so much and not being available has hurt me. I feel like a stranger in my own life.

I got a wake up call this morning. I goofed. I was late for an all staff work meeting. I apparently turned my alarm off in my sleep because I don't remember hearing it but my mom does. I hadn't told her of the meeting before hand so she didn't know I needed to be anywhere. The alarm should have woke me up though. I even set it down away from my bed. I think I'm going to need to invest in a

Uneventful night. I worked the video store. Then I hit up DH. Happy Birthday to Lora W. Headed to Moho's after that. Then I headed home. I sometimes wonder why I even go out. It is a habit I suppose. I'm afraid that I will miss out on something spectacular. I hate hearing the stories that start out with "Oh man! You should have been there!" Know what I mean? Nothing ever happens though

I think that people lie everyday. If you don't then you are a rare exception. When people ask, "How are you?" and you respond in kind with something along the lines of well, good, or fine. You're more than likely just saying that because you know people don't really want to hear about it. By not sharing and keeping the truth bottled up that makes us all, liars.
