So … today we are going to play a game called fill in the blanks and then back to your normally scheduled viewing, aka the blog.

I am currently ___________
<blockquote>
Watching southpark, blogging, and coding … yes, all at the same time.
</blockquote>

When I watch TV I ___________

</blockquote>

**NEWS ALERT**
And now for your regular scheduled programming ….

Another Friday wasted. Sometimes I just want to go to sleep so that tomorrow comes quicker. As much as I love the night, the day suits me better. Bike rides, fishing, hiking … so many things to keep my mind off things and to help me relax.

Tomorrow night I really want to go camping, so I think I may get all of my gear together for that. We’ll see.

Today was rather long. In fact, the last week or so has been pretty long for me. My life is composed of work, work, a little fishing, a few bike rides and sleep. That’s been about it. I haven’t been on my bike in a while, given I’ve been so sick. I think I’m going to muster up some energy and just go for it. I’ll deal with the consequences later.

Anyways, back to my day …

I woke up late again today … I’ve been late alot lately. There is really no rhyme or reason to it, I just have been. I’ve had a really hard time focusing, not just at work, but with everything really. Normally, I could spend all day doin 1 task, or one activity, no matter how mundane. However, now, not matter how boring or interesting, I give it 3 minutes tops. I’m not sure if that ties in with the sleep thing, I’m no doctor.

After work, I was so tired. Like I’ve been saying all week. I’ve got nothing left in the tank. Mentally, physically or emotionally. I was so tired, and yet I wanted to go for a really long walk, which I did. It was so peaceful. I went to the platte river and just stood in the cool breeze for as long as my ipod kept playing. Which actually was for quite a while. Once it died, I decided to head home. I got home around 9 or so, and got a great idea to go to the aquarium. I refuse to let a good friday night go wasted, so I went through the aquarium. I spent very little time at each exhibit, except 2. The otter pen, and another one of my favorite exhibits.

I must say. Otters know when they have an audience.

I got home, grabbed some grubb, fed my fish and bill and did a few other things.

Nothing to exciting.

But for now I’m bobbing for apples. I’ll blog more tomorrow.

I promise.

Corny video, great song.

I’m not sure if you know this or not, but long blog titles are IN! Ok, probably not but I say so!

Anyways …

It’s hard to believe today is Thursday already. It seems like I was sitting here last Thursday saying the same thing. Amazing how quickly time is flying by. I’m not sure yet if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I can see both sides to that coin pretty easily.

It’s good because I really want the next few months of my life to fly by. I know that sounds stupid, but once when I was a wee lad sitting at home in Clovis New Mexico I wished for the same thing, except it was to start college and to start college. I suppose the same holds true now, just the wording is different. I’d like the next few months to fly by so I can see where I’ll be ending up, given a chapter of my life will soon be closing. Not only will I be moving, but the saturated memories that I’ll leave behind here at this apartment will be a refreshing relief.

I’ve had a ton of good times here. It can easily be said I’ve had some pretty poor times here as well.

So much has happened in the past year, things I never thought would happen. Both good and bad. I never thought I’d be alone, and I never thought I’d have a job as a developer. I guess you win some, you lose some.

I hurried home today to catch the football match. Everything wsa going perfect up until the last 2 minutes which happened to be in extra time. /sigh. Oh well … it’s a long season, and it wasn’t even the Rapids that were playing so I guess I can’t be too mad. Saturday though is the US match. I’ve got that time squared away to watch it in complete bliss.

As for this weekend, I dont have very many plans. I’m going to use tonight and tommorow to recoup my emotions and my physical strength given it’s been such a long week to say the least. I’m so tired, both physically and mentally. I need a break and usually the weekend wisks me away just in the nick of time.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get back on the bike this weekend. It’s been a good week since I’ve last rode, given I’ve been so sick, but if the weather’s good, I think I’ll venture out.

We’ll see. My throat is still so sore, and my head aches with every beat of my heart. I’m feeling better though, surprisingly enough. We’ll see, I need a way to thoughtfully relieve my stress.

Like I said, it’s alot of nothings right now that’s adding up. Nothing in particular. Odd isn’t it? Oh well …

yesterday I gave an analogy of pie, corn bread and life.

If that doesn’t sum it up, then I can’t help you …

My new band of the moment if you haven’t noticed is CCR. They have so many great songs, and even more songs with great lyrics. wow. amazing stuff. Not only is this a great song, it has an AMAZING intro! The best ever ….

Sometimes life is a nice big piece of cheesecake. Smooth, rich, filling. Other times however it would seem that life is a dried, over cooked piece of cornbread ready to crumble at the slightest turbulance.

Today it seemed like both.

Sometimes I think I’m an emotional wreck. One minute I’m so happy and the next rock bottom. Laughing out loud one moment, and crying on the inside the next. Sometimes it seems overwhelming and other times it just seems cosher. I look around and I see people, and when I take a closer look I see the same people whom I once thought were happy, actually completly the opposite.

It’s life. People deal with it’s ups and downs in diffrent ways. I suppose I’m still trying to figure out how I deal with mine.

I got into work today, and after work I get to my car and I can’t find my keys.

I really just wanted to drop to my knees.

Not just because of that, that’s nothing. But when you get a bunch of nothing’s that add up, well .. you got it, it adds up.

Now, now I’m so tired I just want to fall asleep …

Until tommorow …

Yesterday I was speaking about being pleasantly surprised. It happened by way of a major corporation Bose. I have these headphones from them and the ear buds kept falling out. I went ahead and went to the bose store to purchase more, however they were free! Apparently I wasn’t the only one having issues with them! Oh well, it’s worth it, the sound quality is amazing.

I was riding my bike to walmart to pick up some supplies and I noticed that in my drawers there was a breeze. I looked down and there was a gaping hole in my crotch.

Attractive right? Even more so riding a bicycle

That was another pleasant surprise. I suppose it was pleasant because it made me laugh. I’ve never had that happen before.

It’s two oclock already. Oh brother.

I slept in today, and I didn’t get out until about 1pm or so. I’ve missed so much already. The football matches are already over.

I really really need to clean the house and my room.

We’ll see though. I need to recover.

This cold has taken so much out of me.

Until tonight/tomorrow. It’s time for some more bengay.

I didn’t do much today. Heck, besides doing a load of laundry, I didn’t do jack.

It was awesome.

So, for my recollection in the future, I figure I’d recap my weekend for myself. Sort of like a this moment in history.

Friday, I got off work and me and dan headed to the infamous D&B. Apparently he doesn’t like it, but I don’t ever hear about kids complaining when they are dragged to Chucky Cheese. Lets face it, D&B is a big kids Chucky Cheese. We had enough beer to wet the whistle, and a pretty tasty shrimp basket. Mmmmmm. Fried Shrimp. Can you say tasty? Personally, I could go every day for the Galaga machine but that’s just me. Beach head is pretty sweet and of course my all time famous horse racing is more than fun. However, we played mostly the horse racing game and the rest of the night was spent at the shuffle board table. For the record, shuffle board is a pretty addicting game. I seriously thought I could have played all night. Just when you get the rhythm down it seems like it’s time to leave.

Bummer.

It reminded me of bowling/being a ballerina. You have to lift your leg up and your arm up as if to whisk the "puck" to the other side. Then there is of course the tongue biting as it creeps ever so slowly to the other end then, "plunk". Right off the frickin edge! Doh! It’s a really fun game, and if you ever get the chance to play, I would advise so. Here are some quick <a href=http://www.mastersgames.com/rules/shuffleboard-rules.htm target=_NEW>rules</a>.

Saturday was interesting to say the least. I decided not to go for my marathon bike ride, and stay home and watch the USA vs Trinidad and Tobego Match. We won! Not only did we mop the floor versus China 4-0, we beat Ecuador and now T & T. El Salvador is up next. Being an American, it’s so awesome to see packed stadiums with nothing but American Flags. It makes me that much more impatient for the next world cup. Although we got outplayed in 2 of 3 matches in Germany, I still believe that American football is on the rise, and ultimately we can steal football’s thunder. Of course it’s going to take time but in my lifetime I feel it’ll come.

I just have to be patient.

I’m so ready for it though. I do feel a huge sense of patriotism seeing all of the fans get behind our boys, waving their flags and chanting. It’s an amazing feeling to say the least. I think the only other time I’ve ever felt that was at the only professional baseball game I went to when I was a kid when the Air Force did a fly over and it rattled the whole stadium. Everybody went nuts.

It’s an awesome feeling.

After the game, I headed to work. We’ve been really super busy lately and 3 of the 4 people in my office were talking about coming in this weekend to finish up some things, and we did. I did anyways. I finished up everything that’s been slowly eating away at me for the past few weeks. Although it’s taken a toll, it hasn’t really. In retrospect I’ve had far more stressful jobs 10 fold. Easily. I just let my emotions get the better of me sometimes. I hope that’s normal, if not I’ll end up sending myself to the nut house. I like to have a good time at work, but I also want to make sure everybody knows that they can count on me when the going gets tough. Although it’s difficult because of my "level of expertise". In time hopefully I can be as dependable as a leg in a tri-pod. Until then I suppose I can just sit on the sideline and cheer for the home team.

So that was my time at work.

Afterwards I had a date. It was really weird because we went to the cricket in cherry creek which there, and at choppers is where I went to eat lunch at for the longest time. Given I worked in that area. Awesome food … both places of course. As for the date, We’ll see.

Shake it up! Now shake it up! Heyyyyyy yaaaaa! … I can’t get this song off my ipod. It’s awesome …. see my previous post "Heyyy yaaa" to see the video I’m listening to right now.

I got home, like I said, 10ish. Slept in. Didn’t do jack today. Today was really a blur, and a good blur.

And I would continue posting … remember me talking about pleasant surprises.

I just got one.

Peace.
