Hey (say it slowly and like your hitting on someone)

I know I said I would be updating more frequently last week, but this week has been so freaking busy it was ridiculous. Check this schedule out.

Monday: Work 7:30-4:15. That means I woke up at 5:30.
Dream Theater Concert. My brother got me a ticket to the show for my birthday. It was awesome! But it started at 8 p.m. and the played for 3 and a half hours! I got home at about 12:15 a.m.

Tuesday: Work (see above) Traffic was awful on the way home. I got home a little after 5 and turned around and went straight to my in-laws for dinner. We got home from the in-laws and caught most of House. Then I had to watch 24 from the night before. Got to bed around 11:30

Wednesday: work (see above above) Went straight to church after work was in the office for a couple of hours then went to the house church. Got home at 10:15. 24 was a double episode on Monday and on Tuesday I barely made it through the first so I watched the second episode. Sleeping at 12:15.

Thursday: Work (if you don’t know by now….) Went home and was going to take a nap…. But the new Ghost Recon 360 came out, so I played that rather than napping. Then the Palmercat Gal and I went to the Suns vs Spurs game (she got me tix for my b-day) The suns got waffled! The game started at 8:30 p.m. and we got home at 11:30. Sleeping at 12:00.

Friday: Work. Got home and cleaned up the backyard as we were having dinner with another couple. Shaved, not bic’ed, my head, showered, got dressed the doorbell rang, cooked steaks, ate, hungout and watched wild boyz until 11 p.m. Friends left I finished another W.B. episode and called it a night. I fell asleep around 12:15 after watching an episode of House.

Today: Woke up by my dog at 5 a.m. because it was raining. I walked to the back to door to let her out and there was like this wet stuff falling from the sky. I was so confused because I had not seen such a thing in ages. I ran to the computer to see what this strange phenomenon was called and sure enough it is called “rain”. At 1 my family is gathering for a late lunch and a poker game in celebration of Yarsh’ birthday. Then Pudd is throwing a chocolate fondue party because her parents are gone for the week. I am sure we wont be home again tonight until 11 or so…….

This has been the busiest week in recent memory. Here’s hoping that next week will be a little more relaxed.

I be a working man... well soon enough that is.

That’s right my friends I am back! As many of you know I “lost” (lost= a Costa Rican took) my job on January 31st. Well over the past four weeks I have done….. nothing. My days consisted of “waking up” (Waking up=when Reagan (my dog, (can you use parentheses inside of parentheses?))would lick my face to let me know it was almost lunch time.) I would play some Xbox360 have lunch go to the church to fulfill some intern duties then head home and meet the wife for dinner. I would then usually watch whatever show was on until about 10 p.m. then I would put the wife to bed and go play some more video games or watch whatever reality show was on Mtv or VH1. I probably averaged going to bed around 2 a.m. I would wake up and do it all over again.

This has been an awesome month! Until I look back and realize how much time I wasted doing nothing when I could have been reading or studying something. But this time of my life officially ends on Monday when I start my new job! I realized I was running out of money and my wife doesn’t make more than someone who works at In and Out. So I got off my ass… I mean butt and got a job. I will be working for Desert Hills Bank on 30th street and Camelback. They are a small bank in Arizona, only 3 branches in the state, but they pay great! I will be making more than I was at Hell… I mean Trax.

The people seem cool and the hours are good. It will suck to have to back to wearing dress clothes every day but I can handle it. So here are som observations over the past month that I have made:

1. XBOX 360 is amazing. I absolutely love it.

2. Jared Reasey is an awesome guy but if you want to get under his skin just start an argument. Really any argument will send him into a state of frustration beyond belief. I have found this to be highly entertaining since Jared hates confrontations.

3. When my wife smiles I get great joy out of it.

4. Last weeks episode of 24 was great, too bad the week before was lame.

5. There is nothing on T.V. between 10am and 6:30 pm.

6. I still love Playstation 2, and Dance Dance Revolution is not just for gay people.

7. I live really far away from…. Everything.

8. I have great interview skillz

9. Gas is ridiculous (enough said)

10. Walmart only sells versions of things you need but never what you actually need. You have to get those things at a real store.

11. I love hanging out with Josh, Mark, John and Jamie.

12. I hate Lost as much as I love it. I don’t want to watch it anymore yet I do.

I think that’s enough for now. I will do my best to keep updating….. Maybe…. I mean I promise.
