While Andy and I were out enjoying tall and frosty at Damon's ("The Winchester"), he mentioned that we are restoring full diplomatic ties with Libya, and removing their country from a list of state sponsors of terrorism. He found this out from CNN today. This is good news! I don't know why but I'm ecstatic about the whole thing. This also means ( Read more... )

More days til my vacation. I can't wait. Even though I was out of town last week for Tiffany's graduation, I was sick most of the time and didn't get to relax as much as I wanted. But I'll be able to relax for a good solid nine days starting next Wednesday. I'll be flying into Portland, Oregon that day and Tiffany and I will be driving to Aberdeen ( Read more... )

I'm sick as a dog right now. I woke up at 5am this morning in so much pain and my throat sore as hell, I had to call out of work sick. Sucked because I was suppose to work a double (16hr shift) but I'll only get paid for eight as far as sick time goes. I hate calling out sick. I rarely ever do it, but I couldn't of lasted all sixteen hours if I ( Read more... )

Tiffany and I got back into Raleigh earlier today. Had a really great time at Mona's. The turn-out was really good, better than I expected actually. Everyone who showed up I haven't seen in a long time and it was good to be able to catch up on how everyone was doing. Big thanks to everyone who showed up! I hope you all had a great time. I know ( Read more... )

So my only day off was today, which I enjoyed. Just got back from hanging out with Dan, who's my sister's boyfriend. He flew into Raleigh tonight on a week long business trip so he decided to give me a call so we can get together and hang out. Andrea gave me a heads up on this last week so I was anticipating a call from him and luckily it pulled ( Read more... )

izuko showed me this website that he thought I'd be interested in. It's a blog from a guy who's a Japanese english teacher (JET program) in Japan. This site is hilarious I tell you, but it's gonna take me several hours to read through all his entries. It's definitely worth checking out though in my opinion, for those that are interested in what someone ( Read more... )

Congrats to UNC Chapel Hill for defeating Duke in the last game of the season, 83-76. I wasn't really particularly rooting for either team, since I'm a VT fan (their basketball team didn't do too good this year). izuko and I were at Damon's last night watching most of the 2nd half of the game. The place was packed, mostly UNC fans too. Ken's gonna spend ( Read more... )

I threw out the idea to a few people about having a formal Mona's get together in Newport News, Virginia. Right now I'm playing with the idea of doing it around the 25th of March, which is a Saturday. For my friends in the Hampton Roads area who haven't seen me in a while and would like to get together with me, and my lovely girlfriend Tiffany who' ( Read more... )

Tonight was my last double of this buddy bid, so now I'm going back to a 5 day work week for the rest of the bid until April. It'll be nice, since I'm to the point where I'm pretty burnt out on back to back doubles (16 hr shifts). Gonna be nice to go back to a normal schedule. The only thing I don't like is not being able to fly out and see Tiffany ( Read more... )
