Home Life...

Well, I'm in my new apartment, as you all know. It's nice, but boring so far. Don't get me wrong, I love the place, but I don't have internet access, dish, a tv. There's not a whole lot to do except paint. I'm painting a few accent walls this weekend, and as soon as I can get some paintings put up it'll be looking sweet! I'll post some pictures as soon as I'm done. For now though, here's the first picture of my new place. This was taken last night before I went to bed:



Don't worry mom, I'll be buying a little food today after work ;-)

Anyway, I'll get some more pictures this weekend so that you guys can see the rest of the place. Other than moving, not alot going on lately. Aunt Anne and Kyle are going to Disney World today and tomorrow, but I opted to stay home and paint. I need to save some money! I'm going to put my patio lights and my air chair up later tonight, so I'll be well on my way to a sweet bachelor pad!

And in other news, my Fantasy Football team is on a two week winning streak, taking me to sixth place with a 2-4 record. The guy that I'm playing this week has a horrible team, so I'm fairly confident that I can win again! Depending on how many points I score, and if one other guy loses, I could move up to fourth place this weekend. Woohoo!

Ouch, what a weekend....

Okay, so what's up with me in the last week or so? On Friday Stephen, Kyle and I played in a Magic the Gathering tournament at a comic book shop here in Sarasota. Well, Stephen and Kyle play. I found out about five minutes beforehand that a third of my deck was illegal to play, so I bowed out. In a standard format tourney, you can only use cards that are up to two years old. Well, a chunk of mine were two and a half years old. Doh! Oh, well, there's always next weekend. Anyway, Stephen took third and Kyle came in dead last out of about nine people. He's learning though!

After the tourney was over we went back to Stephen and Jacqueline's house to play games. They had a couple more friends over and we ended up staying up all night. And by all night I mean ALL night. I didn't sleep a wink. I had to go to work from seven to noon on Saturday, so I figured I'd just be better off staying up all night, as apposed to just getting two or three hours of sleep. Whooo boy, was I tired! My hands were shaking a little bit the next day ;-) I did learn something useful out of the whole thing though; Five Hour Energy shots only work when you take three of them combined with about two pots of coffee!

I finally got back to Aunt Anne's at about three-thirty in the afternoon and just passed out! I didn't budge until Sunday morning at about six. I felt very refreshed though! I went to Starbucks for my morning get-up-and-go, and then watched football all day. It'll be nice once I get into my own place I can get the NFL Sunday Ticket and catch all the Broncos games. I'd love to bee able to see those two point conversions with 23 seconds left on the clock for the win! It's not as exciting when you're just watching the replays on Sport Center. Team Mansquatch is doing good this week though! I'm at 71.50 points and my buddy Mitch is only at 52. All my guys have played, but he's still got a wide reciever and a running back playing tonight, so it's going to be a close one. If I can manage to hold onto the win, I'll move up to fourth in my league! Pretty decent for a fantasy football rookie!

Alrighty, time to go do paperwork. I love you all and miss you lots!

First day at work...

Today was my first day at work for Scott Paint! Same stuff, different paint store. It's tough learning all the new products, and how they tint, but it's basically exactly what I was doing before. Except it's a slower store. Verrrrrrrrrrrrry much slower. At Kwal I was used to doing five grand in business before nine o'clock in the morning. Today at work we did four grand all day. That's slowwwwwwwwwwww. Oh well, at least I found a job!

And tonight's my first ever draft in Fantasy Football. That happens in about a half hour actually. I've been reading all the little magazines and articles online, I know who I want on my team, so we'll see how it goes. I'll probably come in dead last at the end of the season, but I'll be talkin' smack all the way! Go Team Mansquatch!!

Guys Night

So last night I went out with my Old Man, Ty, and the Uncles for dinner and a movie. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings, which tasted fantastic, and then headed over to the theater to see the new Batman flick. Holy movie theater prices Batman! That movie was friggin' awsome! I would highly recommend it to any that's interested. after seeing Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, all I have to say is "Jack Nicholson who?" I don't want to say too much about the movie for fear of giving it away, but it was awsome!

Tonight I signed up on Yahoo! Sports for Fantasy Football League. I'll be playing in a league with my old boss Duff and my buddy Mitch who lives in Florida. Never played Fantasy Football before, but those guys wouldn't shut up about it last year, and it sounded pretty fun. So, I'll give it a shot this year and then proceed to fail miserably and come in last place! ;-)

Anywho, tomorrow's my last day at KWAL. I've been there for the last three years, and I've lived in Colorado my whole life, so this is going to be a completely new experience for me moving to Florida. I hope it works out... I think I'm starting to get a little nervous ;-)
