Flight Numbers

I got a job offer as you may have read that I thought a little too good to be true. I still had to prepare for it. I bought like 500 bucks worth of crap to make sure I would have everything I needed on this tour while always having a little shadow of doubt running around behind me. Last night, after about a month of waiting for a rock solid confirmation, I got flight times and numbers. I am happy. I did not waste 500 bucks. My life kick starts Feb. 7.

As a way of celebrating I bought a 160GB hard drive for my laptop. I should have it by Tuesday and installed later that day. I only have 100GB now and it is full. To the brim. iTunes really sucks some space away once you start buying TV shows.

After todays cheering extravaganza I have one more Aflac and then my daily routine is uprooted and reinvented. WQOT FUCKIN' WOOT!!!

The Mohawk

so if you will notice the link just to the right of this post, the one that says videos of me or something like that, click it. I just posted me getting my mohawk. The reverse one has been up a long time and I just figured the initial hawk would be good to have on there as well. Please watch and click the ad at the end. It won't load anything but a website and it will make me like 30 cents. Thanks. I'm in Stockton, CA.

again with the ipod

I really don't know what I would do without my iPods. I've flown 4 or 5 times since Jan 6 already this year and have a few more to come I'm sure. The only thing getting me thru this travel hell(especially the cross country flights) are my iPods. I have passed so much of the time watching tv shows and listening to music that it just seems to "fly" by. My current shows of choice are The Office, Heroes, 30 Rock, Southpark, Moral Orel, and Metalocalypse. I wish more episodes of Weeds, Stella, and The State were available.

I'm in San Francisco for the night. It is very rainy and overcast. Can't even see Alcatraz from Pier 39. I walked around for a bit and got some coffee. I'm sure I will spend the rest of this cold wet night in my hotel room. Putting stuff on my iPods.

I'm beautiful

State College, PA. A lovely little basement bar named Phirst's (I think thats how it's spelled) and a crap pile of Snakebites. In case you aren't my sister, a snakebite is hard apple cider and a lager mix. Tastes like candy and goes in your belly fast. I drank a lot. Played pool drank more and watched some open mic bullshit and then drank more. After I had my fill of snakebites I moved over to HopDevil. 6.7%. Awesome. Once we made it back to the hotel at about 2:30 I quickly made my way to the toilet, face first. Good times. I did lift one side of a pool table about a foot off the ground and a girl told me I am beautiful that night too.

By the way, if you're going to bitch about me not calling when I'm in Atlanta you might want to post your name in your comment. That way when I go back to Atlanta I can call.

Sometimes its better to drive

Get to Richmond airport at 1130 for a 140 flight. It was delayed til 345. Got to Chicago at 601. Connecting flight departs before we can get to it. Awesome. United says there is nothing at all they can do for us. We cancel our ticket and then rent a car and procede to drive to Indianapolis. We got here at like 1am and we were supposed to land at just past 6. Awesome. I sure as hell wish we had just driven from Richmond.

36 hours

I am home. 36 hours of home. I have a bunch to do and it mostly invovles hanging out. I miss my friends already and I haven't been away that much yet. I had lots of fun on my first little trip. I saw a good friend who I haven't seen in well over a year. She made me play guitar hero and showed me how bad I suck at it. Fucking pinches hard too. I was awake for like 42 hours or something stupid like that. I drove a PT Cruiser with bird crap on it around Hollywood for three days. I ate popcorn for dinner one night and nothing the other. I drank fancy beer and jumped around on rooftops while trying to find the on switch for the hot tub. My life is fun. But I did miss home. I am glad to be here.

Sitting like a pro

 
So I got to Atlanta on Sunday night. It's Thursday. I worked Monday, Tuesday and Wesnesday. Today I have off. I have done nothing all day. It's ten til 7pm and I just got dressed. Tomorrow I work again and then finally leave. I am finding that a week in one place that isn't home pisses me off. I'm good if I can keep moving but this shit is driving me loopy. At least I got to go to PF Chang's and get this kick ass forture.

my new year

So unofficially my new year started today. This past week was just part of 2006. Today I left Richmond to start the first of many trips, long and short, away from home in 2007. I am almost in Atlanta. I will be there 5 full days then fly to Irvine, CA for two days. Back home. Travel included it is only 9 days gone. For the most part I've been told to expect being away from home almost the entire year. This first one is just a taste.

I knew about being gone all of January a long time ago. I learned about the rest of the year just days ago. You may have read about it. I know I will love every second of that job and never forget the things I will get to see and do but I don't at all think I will have proper time to say goodbye or enjoy my friends and family for one last minute. Just sort of caught off guard. It's a gonna be a good thing though.

Goals for the year, pay off credit card debt and car. Finish the continental 48 states (only three left), and maybe move. Who knows? It's gonna be an all out MeFest and I love it.
