Long Time!

The last time I blogged was in January! Jesus what have I been doing with time?! Nothing! Really! Working 25 to 30 hours a week. Man thats tough as a server at Olive Garden. I don't know how I ever make it through a day. I've been playing a lot of xbox. Probably around 40 hours a week. I should get paid to play xbox and work at Olive Garden for fun. Wouldn't that be the life! Haven't been running much. I run about every other day. From the last count I have 140 sum odd days till I run the Leadville 100. I'm gonna die. I guess it is gonna happen sooner or later.

I really haven't done much of what I was hoping I'd be doing so far this year. I'm a slacker at my own goals. That's kind of crappy after I think about it. So lets not.

I've been reading a bit more lately. Usually at night when I'm getting ready for bed i'll read for 90 minutes or so. Way not on goal for my 52 books in a year but I think if I knocked down I could catch it. Best book I've read this year so far has been Paper Towns by John Green. You should read it.

I have this awesome idea for a video I am going to make. I even bought a pretty sweet outfit for it. I know the only time I ever go shopping is for a ridiculous outfit but you know you would too. Ok well i'm getting sleepy and i have 11.5 hours left to stay up till I can go to bed. I'm gonna go eat and drink some coffee. Maybe play xbox or read or both at the same time.

Chau Chau,

Post Grad Post Grad

Again here I sit 1:30am writing my days happenings of being a Post Grad. Not to exciting but I enjoyed myself to the fullest. I woke up this morning and instead of getting up and doing something productive I got on facebook. I then proceed with uploading more photos from Chile and putting all my Patagonia pictures on Photobucket.com you can check them out here!.

(Skip the whole Next Paragraph it's a rant!)
When I went for my run today I was reminded of when I was pulled over by a State Trouper on new years eve 4pm in nowhere wv. The jackwad police officer came to the conclusion that me and my two other friends in the car had illegal drugs and firearms. We were told to get out of the car with a gun drawn, while 3 other cruisers showed up. My 1984 Honda accord was then searched and the K9 unit was called in and we were all what I would like to call cavity searched but legally I guess was one step away. We were all let go with and I was given a warning not to roll through any more stop signs. Yeah sure! This is where my hatred for all officers of the law stem from. I have never really liked them. I feel that all are stupid pricks for lack of wanting to really explain my true feelings. There are a few exceptions but they are just exceptions. I know that most of their prickness comes from their traning and their over exaggerated sense of being in control of the situation. Maybe if they thought them people skills they would be better at their jobs or maybe if there wasn't 600 of them in a county that only has 10,000 people in it.

Earlier today we (my mom, sister, and I) went out to walmart. Mom needed to return tire chains and my sister wanted a daily planner and 2010 calendar. After eating at subway I went looking for my mom when I ran into my dad with the autistic kid that he works with. He likes to look at things up close. Very Close! So we mimicked him. It's kind of amazing what you can see up close. Try it sometime. The first thing I examined was my subway cup. I don't know how to explain what it looked like up close but it was different.

Also I bought a 400 dollar Bowflex dumbbell set. I know crazy! I was actually trying to go back but somehow submit the order. Oh well I guess it's time to get ripped now. Best part about it all is that I can make payments on them for the next 40 months. Thats almost two years.

I didn't start my second book yet. I'm gonna read The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I am pretty sure I've read most of it but never finished it. In fact I think it was the book I was reading when my College trig told me that I was going to fail out of college and then make nothing out of myself. I then made a bet with him that he was wrong and that when I graduated I would take him out to dinner. Little did I know I need a job. So after I get a job i'll take him to dinner. But now I just have to make something of myself to prove him wrong on his whole prediction.

Oh what I would give to be 6 years younger again...

Where are you Chile?!?!

It's been almost a month since I have landed in the mother land! I've kept myself pretty busy with seeing plenty of friends and driving up and down the east coast getting into all sorts of trouble. It's slowly setting in that i'm unofficially officially a Post Grad. I feel like it's a good excuses to put my life on hold until I figure out what I want to do. I actually have lots of things I want to do but some of them require the passing of time to even start. Job huntington is a tad bit harder than I imagined. I would think it would be a lot easier to get a job that you didn't care about and could quit whenever you wanted but I guess i'm wrong. A friend pointed out that I wear my feelings on my winkles too much so me finding a job like that will never work for me. It's ok though. I don't like being dishonest or putting on a show! It's a down fall of mine...i know.

I made two new year resolutions! One of them I made with my friend Michael to run everyday in the month of January. For those that know us probably find that a tad of an under achieving new year resolution but we didn't want to aim to high. You know you can't go failing at something right in the beginning of the new year or else it just sets up the rest of your year to be a failure. We have the same goal for this spring! 4:02 but mine is for the 1500 and his is for the mile! 4:02 gets me to a time that I was told I would never be able to run and for Michael that is the qualifying time for D3 nationals..

My Second new year resolution is to read a book a week. Now by day 3 of my new year resolution I was told by more than one person that it was impossible and that I should name an amount of pages I was going to read a week so that way I wouldn't shy away from bigger books and not get discouraged. Well to those that think I am going to fail I have one thing to tell you. Suck Off! I will read a book a week and even though i'm behind right now I will catch up and by this time next week I will have two books read and a third one its way. Thank You Very Much! Don't tell me I can't do shit......

I think i'll keep you guys post on my day to day or days to days post grad activities. Like today I went and interviewed at Olive Garden. And then afterward I walked into a computer repair shop and asked for a part time job. I got the job at Olive Garden and I start on the 18th. And I think the computer repair place will give me a call here in a day or two. I think it went well. Afterwards I went and got some of my favorite pizza. Stopped by my dads. And then drove in a blizzard doing the speed limit.... My day also started with a nice 60 minute run with a friend from Saint Marys.

Ok Well Talk to you later!
