I don't have much to say, but since I'm paying $5 for wireless internet here at the Luoisville International Airport I thought I would at least do something moderately worhtwhile.

Of course I wouldn't be in this position if not for the fact that Argyle Sillystring Argyle sucks. I'm not sure I should go into details, but just trust me... they blow! And now the next flight out is delayed for about an hour or more. And its not even an Argyle Sillystring Argyle flight. But it is a Delta type flight so.. I blame them, since they've been sucking it up to.

I'm so looking forward to getting home, getting food, and getting to be with Susan. I apparently may have to spend time with my newfound mistress this weekend too. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage that, but I'll probably need rest on Monday. :-)

OK.. thats enough, I'm going to go pick up some cheese to go with this blog. I could go on (mostly about work), but I'm afraid I'll have more to bitch about next week so I'm going to save up for it!

You’ll never drink alone down there, good god I feel at home down there

So I'm indulging in one of my more ricockulous pleasures... watching The Real World. If any of you missed the MTV show of spoiled people who seem to have model-esque good looks and incredibly slutty tendencies, this season the sent them t Sydney. Everyone surely knows of my love affair with that city. And the main reason I watched so much of this season was the scenery brought back good memories. And maybe for the drama queen cat fights... the girls were pretty bitchy too.

I just relaized they didn't have an angry black man or flaunting homosexual.. or a combinaton of the two, on this season. Ratings will be low.

Ayways, the final episode is on, and they all were just shot having some grub and singing with the band at a wonderful irish pub called The Mercantile Hotel. Now, I spen a fair amount of time and money in this place. I sent two people there when they went down. I think Joe got laid and Ryan called me to proclaim it was the greatest pub on earth. Though I think his decision may have been influenced by the Vic Bitter. I'll never tell what all I did!

I met my ex-fiancee there. Well, I guess it's my twice Ex'd fiancee there since we broke it off twice now. And luckily, Gaie is still a good pal and has been a fabulous adviser over the past 6 years.. wow, has it been that long. And she was always very accomodating o my drunk dialing her late at night.. which I suppose was made more palatable b it being middle of the afternoon there.

So, here's to special places and interestin friends. Amazingly, acocrding to Ryan.. they still remember me there. If any of my loyal readers make it to Sydney, head down to the Rocks and have a VB at the Merc!!

PS.. I proofread the subject line, happy Grace?

Feeings, nothing more than feelings.

Bad feeing seem to be in abundance today. Whether your wretching your lunch out in Espana or beinf filmed with your first grade class for local TV, there seems to be something not just right around. Other than learning my girlfriend is a celebrity, today has been thus far uneventful. Though, theres some rough weather coming this way, that can be fun.

SO my anxiety today started when I woke up. I usually don't remember my dreams, but this morning I awoke with a feeling of anxiety and, well... just a little freaked out.

I have a bit of a fear of heights, and my drema had me placed at the top row of a very high stadium. And below me was the Concord Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps performing a show. And not that being ridiculously high on the stadium was enough, I apparently was sitting on a 10 foot tall pile of cushions. And I was scared for my life. I apparently got down off the cushions and onto a less precarious perch.

But the damage was done, I woke up (before my alarm went off) and was so anxious and enrvous I had to make sure i was only bed high off the floor.

Other than that I cruised a part of town known as Old Louisville today. And theres lots of potential inthe older houses there. I was checking out some potential apartments, but I'm not sur eit's where I want to me. I'm also not sure where in town I want to be period. Though I'm leaning toward a couple options and checking on others. Soon... I'll have some place everyone can come to Louisville and party!

Now I'm off to make a sammich, pour a cold beer, and watch TV and Thunderstorms for the night.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried. I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.

oday marks the end of a long and arduous journey. I have officially received my Taco Mac Passport Club Jacket. Yest, 325 beers, $2000 later I have a nifty new navy blue jacket. The celebrations abound! I would like to thank everyone who helped me along to the way, and all those who believed me and helped me acheive this goal! And just short of 2 years since I joined the club, and 5 months since sine I actually passed the mark to get the jacket.

OK, so enough of such nonsense. I'm home in metropolitan PTC this weekend. It was a tough decision. I'm glad I made the decision to come down. Its been nice just hanging with Jersey and J and Adam. Thre was even an outing to the Tavern. And as always, it proved good for people watching. And there was enough alcohol involved to not only have me dancing, but J also. Somehting that I have seen maybe once!

Then saturday night, we all just kind of hung out around the casa watching football. The three of us, possibly all home for an evening for the first time since moving in. Each consuming our respecitve christmas gifts (I recieved an mini keg of Paulener from Adam and bottle of Woodford Reserve Bourbon from J). It was just kinda nice. as much as I look forward to my own place, I'll miss the roommates. And not only for the furniture they provide.

Of coruse I have a feeling ll the furniture is been well used (if u know what i mean) and is in need of replacement. Could be the noise caused by the cracked couch and the chair losing screws.

I've got a long week ahead, waiting to hear if I'll be upgraded (with a significant raise) and then really looking for a home to occupy in SDF.

I'm also feeling overdue for a foreign adventure. I blame Grace for that. Though it seems I'm gonna be a groomsman in July. I get to get dressed up, I hope we have obnoxious pink tuxedos! ANd I also found out some confirmation about a couple people in my past... well, one of them. And I don;t mind so much about what happened, but it does bother me no one said anything. Oh well, I've finally found great girl who makes me happy, and I love her more. I finally made a good choice.

Heres to getting through another week. Why can't everyone I know move to Luosiville with me? Think of the great parties we could have! WHo's gonna end up nked in apartment swimming pools with me this summer?

Went the distance now I’m not gonna stop, just a man and his will to surviv

Heres to random blogging...

I like how everyone's surprise for the year was Susan and I hooking up. Yeah n one saw that one coming i suppose, but I'm glad it did.

I'm kinda feeling blah. My foot is hurting again for no apparent reason, I think it may have somethign to do with my shoes. Perhaps time for new ones, especially since the lining is coming out. Oh and the pain they seem to be causing.

I bought a Jimmy Buffett CD last week with a gift certificate (thanx Darci!), and to my surprise it wasn't just a double CD, but a DVD was included. The CD and DVD were recorded live in Anguilla. I'm very much pondering running away to a warm beach type area, possibly inspired by the fact todays high in Louisville was 20. Yes, I said hi. And theres this strange white stuff on the ground... the locals call it snow.

So, in addition to missing Susan, I'm also feeling a little homesick. I mean ti wis a great apartment, and theres always such fun people around there. I was kinda feeling blah about not having that here when I move in a couple months. I'll be back to entertaining myself. Well once I do move up to Louisville on a more permanent basis, everyone has a standing invite. And feel free to center visits around Derby Days (Chas) or the Kentucky Bourbon festival (I think that one caught Tanjoes attention). I may even be able to find Ryan some Arabs to make him feel more at home.

And I expect Grace to show up often.

I'm also a little sad college football is ending. NFL just isn't the same.

I think it may be time to let Susan see me really go out partying... that could be scary.. for her. Might be time for a CU visit.

Everyone keep good thoughts that I could get upgraded soon.. should know in a week or 2 for sure. I hate the uncertainty and the waiting.

So, things I've learned lately, don;t taunt tigers in the zoo, they will eat you! Seriously kids, what the hell were you thinking? And now your going to sue the zoo (nice rhyme)! OK, yes its tragic some one died, but this is the first time in 40 years or so a tiger has even attempted to escape. And it specifically seemed to chase down the people that were screwin with it. Whats sad, is they'll probably get some money out of this. That pisses me off.

And to the oil people charging me a ridiculous mount for gas, I think they're profits should be returned to the consumers... hrrrmm theres another platform for my upcoming political campaign.

I think thats enough randomness for tonight. Everyone be safe and stay warm!

Long nights, impossible odds, keeping my back to the wall.

Happy New Year!!

I'm up here in Louisville, wheres it freaking cold. I don't think it ever passed the freezing mark today. Now theres a nice dusting of white topping on everything. Yay, I got to see snow. Too bad I have to go to work tomorrow. That makes me a little sad.

I hope everyone had a nice christmas and New Years that followed. After coming back to work in between, I had some very nice holidays. Of course the time spent with friends and family was much to short. I had a great time with Susan and her friends over the weekend And i experienced my first Trans-Siberian Orchestra event. I have to say it was very unique and I really enjoyed it. The surprise appearance of Tommy Shaw put the show over the top. For those who don't know, Tommy Shore was a member of the 70's/80's band Styx. Great times!!!

Other than that, I suppose its time for addressing all those new years goals and resolutions Easy, I'm not making any. I don't do predictions either, I'm always wrong. And the the goals I have aren't specific to 2008, but seem to be an everyday sort of thing. Theres of course things I would like to do, and I'm going to do my best to make those happen. But I'm not into getting all sad when life throws me a curveball and I know things change. So I have some hopes and dreams, and we'll see if I can bring some of them to fruition.

Other than that, its back to thr grind tomorrow. I'm hoping to hear some news pn potential upgrades at work, and then tart my apartment hunt here in earnest.

Well, i'm going to crack open a beer (theres a fine loal brewery that makes a nice dark Stout, thats aged in a bourbon barrel... yum) and cheer Hawaii on to victory against UGA... its not looking good for them though.
