busy busy busy

Life can come at you fast if you know what I mean... I haven't posted in like two weeks.
Trip to Chicago last weekend was fun (minus the 6 hour delay leaving MSP)
Lisa (mike's sis) has a dog Lulu, who might be the funniest dog ever...just ask Mike. All in all I think I could be pretty content living in Chi town, as long as they do away with that ridiculous sales tax. That really cramped my style.

Stopped in Uprise and heard some funny antics about the one and only Sam McGuire (who doesn't have an antic about him).
Also - we went up to the Hancock tower to check out the view and happened to be up there when a huge storm rolled in. It was pretty crazy to watch storm clouds coming in below you...Mike overheard one of the waiters telling the other that he'd never felt the building swaying so much...dude. You're 96 stories up - what do you expect?
Lots of delicious food was consumed on the trip as well as a few good beverages...some of the best (not chicago style) pizza ever can be found here.

A hot dog, chocolate cake shake and some fries later and we were already on our way back home. Too short of a trip, but a good one indeed. Thanks to Lisa for the hospitality!!! (and Lulu).

On another note - we're almost moved in!!! Very excited but tired...sick of moving is an understatement. The stress of losing my job (soon to happen due to the acquisition) and moving in the same week is getting to me...but hey, it could be worse, right? No? oh. ok.

Also!!! Mike is back in school! Can you tell I'm hyped??? I'm hyped.

You know why else I'm hyped. Because I make this face when I dance:

That's right...I call my dancing magical. It's like an extreme sport...totally edgy.

The other thing I'm hyped on:

God - so hyped!

Put it in your calendars NOW!!! Do it.

The Good Ol Days

Monster Mash

Why is it that slow computers make you want to bash your brain in??? I expect instantaneous results...is that too much to ask? I don't think so.

My life is so busy it makes me want to scream. Trying to stay in touch with old friends, new friends, old employers, current employers...going to weddings, going to bachelorette parties, going to engagement things...looking for apts/houses, looking for a new job, looking for a job with the new company...keeping in touch with my mom, my dad, my brother, my grandparents...going to chicago, go to puerto rico, not having any money...
I'm over being busy; too much is being put in without enough of a payoff right now. Of course as I say that I'm confirming with people via the magic of wireless telephone technology that I will be going out with them tomorrow night. I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't double booked at all times...maybe enjoy it?

I'm sure you've already seen it; but I was reminded of it twice today so I thought I'd make sure to mention zeitgeist the movie...you should watch it; but remember...everyone's got an agenda.

Life as we know it...

So if you weren't around this past weekend I'm not even going to bother filling you in. You don't really deserve to know all the awesome things that went down over a span of 4 days if you didn't care to partake in any of it. Let's just say that we're still in agreement that Jason Bourne could kill you. rightnow.

I will give a plug to l'etoile magazine which I'm really glad exists (and not just because of the blog they did on you tuck). I'm also kind of hyped on Metro Mag right now. Both of these local rags are trying new (if not completely different) new things and I like that. A lot.

Go outside now...get off the computer...life as we know it is passing us by.

Bourne Again

You can be a lot of different "Born Agains"
You can be a Born Again Virgin
You can be a Born Again Christian
But You can't be Jason Bourne.

Simply put, that was the most ass-kicking movie I've seen in a long time...maybe even ever (and I've seen all of the Terminators. Go see this movie. If you haven't seen the first two stop reading this. Go rent them. Then go see Bourne Ultimatum. Duh.

Yeah! Sam's back in town (though rather briefly). He thinks Bourne was ass-kicking too.
I'm trying to guilt-trip Sam into coming to Too Much Love this weekend. Is it working?

This weekend is set to be action packed yet again. Heading to Jerry's 30th Birthday Party at Town Talk Diner in a minute (and maybe to Electro Bowl after)? Tomorrow is Christina's going away party. Saturday is the Huf5 Shoe Release Party hosted by Familia...and TML...and my brother will be around...and it's also Little John's going away party. OMG my calendar is booked. Also on Saturday Stacey & I are about to test El Pati's (on West 7th on the other side of the river) ChileQuieles. They better be dope.

Oh yeah...a special Estonian is back in town...wonder who that could be?

BLOCKED

So I think I'm blocked from blogging at work...lame. I know blogger has been weird lately - but besides that the only time I'm able to log in is from computers other than my laptop at work. Harsh.

So...I don't give a shit. Awesome.

Sadly enough my family reunion has been cancelled because family members are dealing with different illnesses, which makes me wonder why aren't we having a family reunion? You never know how short life can be and it's important to keep connections while you can. I guess that's out of my control though.

Anyway - it sounds like this weekend is shaping up nicely. My brother is going to be around Saturday which should be fun. All kinds of awesome stuff is going down...or up? Though this week (especially Wednesday) has been all around awful it looks like Saturday will be exeptionally enjoyable. Pizza Luce (oh how I love thee mashed potato pizza) is hosting their annual shindig and the one and only Familia is hosting the Huf 5 shoe release on top of that. Can we handle all of that? If you haven't checked out the new Familia website you're dumb. And since pretty much only TG & TC read this I know you have. So I guess you're not dumb...And of course - since it's a Saturday an appearance at TML is in order. If you don't know what TML is you suck...or you don't read my blog which means you suck.

So there you have it. Nothing fancy...just an update on everything you should (or could) be doing this weekend.

finally...back on the blog

so for some reason I wasn't able to log into the blog for a few days...lame-o. so I'm at Familia blogging...all right. I would link to Familias website if I could (and mike is being snotty because i don't know the code)...but don't be lazy...just type it in...it's all new www.familiaskateshop.com dudes. mike is going to hell. I will send him there.

I was invited to a wedding via email the other day; it was awesome. I'm actually going to the bachelorette party tonight - yeah - girls gone wild! Congrats to Erin Manning - who will soon become Erin Somethingelse...I don't know what his last name is.

I can't even blog right now because Tucker and Mike are distracting me so much. I quote "white chicks got no right" that is out of context.

I just hope you're all ok...

So the bridge is absolutely horrible and I just wanted to say hello and tell everyone how much they mean to me. Thanks to the two people (and sometimes Jen) who read my blog.
