1/30 today is my first day of work. I have to be awake at 6 am in the freaking morning just to make sure I make it there by 8am. I have no idea how bad traffic is going to be, I just know bedford is at least alot closer than driving to dallas every morning like I was with my WFG job in uptown. I dress in my nicest clothes, I decide to rock out the graphite gray pants and a blue shirt with a black sweater pullover. I really don't know what to expect, I just know I hate waking up when it is still dark outside. Luckily, for me, I took some iChill and passed the crap out around midnight. When I hit traffic on the way there, I have a mini-panic attack (I cannot be late for the first day of work!) but I still manage to make it on time for work (5 minutes early!). I get lost in the wells fargo building, trying to find the training facility that I am supposed to be in. Apparently, wells fargo has 2. So I walked around until someone told me that the training facility was in another area and that person showed me where it was. When I walked into the classroom, I noticed only 4 other people there... 3 of which were black. Now I'm not racist or anything, it was just kind of amazing because I was literally a minority there. And I'm not talking just that room... I'm talking all across the floor. Everyone is black. Just unexpected. There is also no hot girls there on the floor and apparently everyone there (including my team) has underwriting experience of some kind. This might be tough.
Apparently, I also came unprepared. But again, that isn't my fault either because I wasn't put in a position to be prepared. Everyone was apparently under the impression they had to bring their SSN. Well I never got that memo and thought I left it at home (it was in the car the whole time). Also, apparently they didn't even have my offer letter for how much I made an hour and a yearly salary. Wow wells fargo, you guys need to get on the ball asap. So the first 3 hours of my shift, I basically sat in the training facility and texted people. Literally. They had us sit in there while they tried to get all the paperwork input in correctly. THis took literally forever. Which was cool i guess, just boring. Finally, around 11, after paperwork was filled (I barely filled out anything because I didn't have my ssn) they had us walk out and sit with a girl for an hour or two and kind of spectate what a underwriter does.
I sat with an underwriter named cathy (i think?). I could immediately tell by looking at the awards on her wall that she was a hardcore goodie-two shoes.. Than I got to thinking, there is one or two of those people in literally every company I have ever worked for. She was hardcore wells fargo... Literally by the book about everything.. I mean it's cool if you get your shit done, but she was kind of smug about it, like, "hey i deserve recognition because I do everything.." kind of person. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way. She was very knowledgeable on what she was doing though. I was completely lost almost the entire time as she navigated through the DOS screens that looked like FBSI from Fidelity. I have another teammate on my team (I'm pretty sure is gay because he has a high voice, among other things) who I also thought was an overachiever until he got caught texting blatantly by one of the workers there. Hahah.
The day flew by pretty quick. I went to a 1 hr lunch at schlotskies, than when I got back we had a huge meeting with everyone on the floor. Yeah, there are no hot girls. I checked. Literally. Every nook and cranny. And. There. Is. NOTHING. But whatever I guess. We all went around the room and everyone introduced themselves and gave the name of a food that best represents them. I got up and told everyone that I love long walks on the beach. Everyone started laughing. I told everyone that if I was a food, I'd be mac and cheese, because I go good with everything... Everyone cracked up again. I'm good.. I know.
After I said that, the girl next to me half hugged me and said I have swag... too bad she was 9 times my size.
Oh yeah, some black girl in my class told me I have "that edward cullen twilight swag." That's a first, lol.
Swaggerific. Also I need to mention that my manager is flipping super hot. And she's my age. A little blondie with a nice body. Nuff said.
The rest of the day they sat me and the "gay guy" with some other underwriter person for the rest of the day.
The place is pretty cool. There is no schedule efficiency measured at all, and I got to go to the bathroom whenever i wanted too. I also got to go to lunch really whenever I wanted too too. Pretty sweet. Near the end of the day I had a meeting with my manager about "code of ethics". Nothing too excited here to mention. I think that sums up about everything I can remember from work today, if there is anything else I'll be sure to go mention it later.
After work, I went and worked out back around 9ish. This is pretty early for me but still pretty late in the evening. Yeah, the gym was still crowded to maximum capacity. There were like 20 people waiting to play a game. I worked out back hard and ended up jetting.
LASTLY, BEFORE I FORGET, SHADI HAS A HOT GIRL.. I'll explain later.. I'm tired. night

today today today
1/29 Today was my last day before work tomorrow. In fact, I have to wake up really early tomorrow so I'm going to make this short and sweet. I had freaking defensive driving all day today. it was like 6 hours long.. from 1-7. I took it at the same place I always take it at, and got another NEW instructor instead of the last one. There was 4 flipping people in my class. Seriously. 2 old guys and a 16 year old girl that sat on the same row I did. I almost fell asleep like 4 times during the movies part of it. The defensive driving itself wasn't too bad.. Just really long and boring. The instructor was going hardcore by the book, so we actually had to be there the full 6 hours. We only had 1 15 minute break and a 30 minute dinner break. I ended up talking to the 16 year old girl (not like that) most of the time in class, she was in class because she wrecked her car because she rear ended someone. Sucks for her. She is only 16 (turned 16 in august) and already has a wreck on her record. Anyway, her name was leigh ann posey, her mom was actually a middle school teacher at Aledo! Imagine that.
She ended up rolling out with me to chipotle to grab some grub. She seems like a really nice girl.. She apparently drinks and parties alot too (She's really into nirvana and grundge). We ended up coming back late because our lunch break wasn't long enough. After some more boring videos, we took the drivers safety test and I ended up making a 95.. (I missed the Rural accident question again like I do every year). I waved goodbye to both leigh ann and the instructor.. See you next year mr. instructor. lol.
After I defensive driving was over, I headed over to the grocery store and got some shopping done for tomorrow... I gotta wake up early tomorrow so BBL

updates oh my
1/21 So for the first time in a long while, I ended up not going out tonight... Sarah really wanted me to go out with her and meet up with her friends but I didn't have a wingman. Kolby, who was down to go originally, had called me but I had left my phone at home (which like, never happens) when I went to go work out so by the time I called him back it was too late.. He already had made plans. I ended up chilling at home, watching sweet home alabama on CMT, and just relaxing. The whole time, gina was blowing up my phone, asking to come over and spend the night. Seriously girl, I don't roll like that. I don't want an easy one night stand, and you leave in literally 2 weeks so I really don't want a hump and dump from you, I'm sorry. but yeah, she was texting me and calling me like nuts, I never answered any of them. Call it what it is, but yeah I don't roll like that.
1/22 Today I took ole meeks to the dog park. It was a beautiful day outside, and I knew I had to get my meeks out and about (and check out the wonderful women of tcu at the same time, lol.) Of course, when I got there, the place was PACKED. There was a ton of pretty women there, and I made a bee-line for the first "triad" of girls that were nearest the gate when I walked meeka and I in. I forgot all their names already, (one's name was cathy) but one of them was actually president of tri delta at TCU!!! Want to know why this is so good?!?!?! Because of ALLL the possible networking capababilities. I mean, not only was this chick really funny and cool, but she is prez. Which means whenever they have a party, or a social event or something, I might find a possible route to go (thru them of course) and meet even more girls. This was seriously the link I needed. Apparently all 3 live together (the other 2 were kappa kappa gammas). One of the 3, a blondie, was super hot.. But also super taken, unfortunately. So I did most of the talking to the blonde girl and the prez.. I let them know that I had just recently moved to the area, and I didn't know where anything was (this helps put me in a good spot because it will look to them like I am just networking, which is totally what I am doing.). halfway through talking ot them, I knew I needed to get their numbers, especially the tri delt prez. So I went in froom networking perspective and said, "hey, next time you guys are out you should totally hit me up.. I literally know like 10 people here." And boom goes the dynamite. I got the 3rd non-taken roommate's number, and the tri delt prez's number. Like I said, above all else, they were actually cool to talk too and hang out with. I can totally see why the prez became the prez.. She is really funny and has a really outgoing personality.. So we shall see where this takes us! UP IS THE ONLY DIRECTION WOOT!

eventful?
1/19 oh, what an eventful day.. Where do I start? How about that I got a BS speeding ticket yesterday, and I have to go do defensive driving.. which freaking sucks crap. So today, I went down to wells fargo to go get a money order because apparently, the only way to pay for this stupid ticket thing is either a money line or a money order... freaking stupid. When I got in there and talked to the notorizer, she recommended I call them first before I get it done so guess what I get to do tomorrow!
After all that crap happened, I went and got my haircut.. My old nemesis Socorro cut my hair.. The reason I call her my nemesis is because I am pretty sure this woman had it out for me forever. I remember back in the day she would skip over me even though my name was on the list, among other things.. And I never knew why, either. Today there was practically no one in so I didn't really have anyone to choose from so I just had her cut it for me.. and let me tell you, there is a language barrier. I know she is spanish and all, but she had no idea half the stuff I was saying, I am pretty sure. Lol. I told her to point cut my bangs, and she somehow interpreted that I meant I wanted a point for my bangs. Yeah. I have no freaking idea how or where she got that from. Luckily, it was easily fixable. I literally almost LOLED when she actually cut my hair into a point. And seriously, it's the worst feeling in the world when halfway through the haircut, you start thinking about the language barrier that is between the customer and the haircut-ress. Seriously. I literally had a mini-panic attack because I was like wtf, my hair is going to get demolished. Lucky for me though, she corrected it and everything was good to go. Another thing about socorro, she always finishes my haircut in like 20 minutes flat, almost like we are at the daytona 500 or something and she's the pit crew. That kind of scares me, because it makes me feel like she did an half assed job. Either way though, she seemed in really good spirits today and after doing my hair it looks fine, so we are good.
After I left the haircut place, I went home and chilled for a bit before I decided to get dressed up in my blazer and head to downtown fort worth to meet up with kolby. We started the night off at library, and unfortunately for us, no one wanted to go out. We walked around the entire bar and we really didn't see anything worth talking too, we even went upstairs to scope out the joint and there was literally nothing in there to look at. dudes as far as the eye can see. We ended up going outside, and gave it literally 10 minutes to pick up or we were going to leave.. Just then, we ran into ole MEGAN Seacrest.. She was apparently here with half of her sorority! she went out to smoke or something on the patio, and she came out with a girl named kate, who was actually really really hot. I was definitely impressed. She worked at twin peaks and she looked real tasty. Anyway, Kate smoked, and we didn't have a lighter, so she ran off to find someone that did while megan and kolby and i talked. It was nice. I like megan, just not in that way.. And i'm pretty sure she is freaking obsessed with me. Yeah, I said it. She comes on so strong onto me all the time, it's like chill bro! It's all good! everything will be fine. that isn't in her vocabulary though.
Anyway, after some talking, Megan straight up blurts out to kolby, "you should go after my friend, she will definitely 'get down'". I'm pretty sure this is code word that she is a huge whore. She looks good, but still, she is a whore. And that's gross. Who knows how many guys have steamrolled that. According to megan, she's the slut of the sorority and gets down with everyone and that kolby should make a play. Megan then informed us of how great of a wingwoman she was, and she actually really tried to help my boy kolby out with her! Unfortunately, it was too little too late because captain grey shirt was all over her. While all this was going on, I ran into Micah and his new girlfriend.... Ready for this.. MIRELLE. Old mirelle from uta.. Aka the girl that wanted my balls for like 3 years but never got served them, lol. She really doesn't look all that good face to face, maybe I didn't make that big of a mistake at all. Anyway, I talked to micah and his bro shawn for a bit, when out of the blue, Courtney Mahaffey shows up! It was like a Hollister family reunion. Courtney looks really good, but she has a flipping kid.. That's gross.
Anyway, apparently mahaffey knew the "town slut" kate and they were supposedly BFF4L so they were talking for awhile. Kolby went in to get a drink and left me out there with Kate (barfing megan left as well). I started to spit some game at ole kate and sure nuff, stupid megan comes out and cockblocks the hell out of me, even though I wasn't even really pursuing her. Freaking ridiculous if I do say so myself. But it's whatever. Kate and her both end up going inside, but before she goes inside she says to me, "That's what you get for crossing me.." Than flips me the bird. Yeah, I am pretty sure this girl is maddingly crazy.. Or just semi-retarded.. or both.
After a bit, Kolby came out and I was ready to go at that time. Megan came back out onto the patio and I explained to kolby how bad megan had cockblocked me for no apparent reason whatsoever. I guess this got her upset or something and she went back inside and hung out with her Ate a Pie sorority friends.. I told Kolby we should just go, it was already after 1, and I really wanted to go to Capital bar and hit up 7th. We took one last glance thru around library, even ran into Summer (Yeah I seem to always flipping see her nowadays) and we ended up jetting for capital.
When I got maybe 5 blocks from montgomery plaza, we discovered that kolby forgot to close his tab out at library so we had to turn around. I drove back to the garage and parked, and we headed towards library again for the second time. Kolby was already pretty smashed at this time, he even jumped on the little "your ride must be 7 feet or shorter to enter" sign in the parking garage and swung on it like a monkey. Kid is crazy, I tell you. Anyway, we managed to make it all the way back to library, he closed his tab out, and I was just contemplating us going home when I suddenly got a text from Megan saying they were going to Cafe Brazil with all the other girls. Kolby and I were for sure down.
So it took some time to figure out where cafe brazil was. apparently, it is by tcu, but i had never been there before. when i got there, i quickly discovered there was little to no parking, anywhere. there were open meters everywhere, but i typically have no change. i must've driven around cafe brazil on berry street at least 10 times, before i went down the street beside it and kolby and i noticed 2 hot girls walking towards the parking garage. kolby quickly rolled down his window, and started yelling over to them. at this time, i figured it was a lost cause.... i mean, we don't even know these girls, they are drunk and don't know us, i can't really see this going well at all, but it's whatever. i end up pulling into the garage in front of the 2 girls and kolby starts talking to them.
they end up wanting a ride to the 4th floor of their place. being the nice gentleman that i am, i offer them a ride and they actually hop in! i was surprised, but happily surprised. To enter the gate, you need a little keypad clicker thing, which they had, so the whole time I just assumed we were going to head up to their house for a bit and hang out.. When I pulled to the 2nd floor, I noticed that the only way to get through the exit was that you needed that same clicker thing and I quickly uncovered the fact that they just wanted a ride, nothing else... SO we ended up dropping them off at the second floor elevator because they wanted out. But by this time, I was already at the exit gate now and realizing the gate wouldn't open. Cue my mini-panic attack. I started freaking out, because it was already way after 2, and I had no idea if anyone else would be going through the exit anytime soon. Kolby is laughing his ass off, while I'm just really in shock mode. Lucky for us, there just happened to be a car leaving, so I quickly followed the car out and managed to get myself to safety. Lucky me.
Kolby and I ended up parking at one of the meters, and I managed to find a few quarters that I threw into the little toll meter thing to get us about 30 minutes of time. I wasn't planning on staying long, and now we had an excuse to leave whenever because we only had 30 minutes of time alotted. Little did I know what I was getting into.
When kolby and I get inside, we see that the group had already ordered food and were chowing down. All the girls I had met earlier in the night were there, including some other girls that I hadn't had the opportunity to meet just yet. Before we could even sit down, Megan starts gagging and looks like she is about to hurl. I never realized how hammered she was. Yummy. Her red haired friend (probably the nicest girl at the entire table, that I would come to find out) walked her to the bathroom where she puked her brains out. In the meantime, we were entertaining the "guests".
So starting off, I was always good at selling myself, so I was trying really hard to sound personable, get to know everyone at the table, and so on. Little did I know how rude these girls were. After some small talk at the beginning, it started to get heated almost immediately. But, it turned heated in a good way. The girl next to me, who apparently has a boyfriend from north carolina, was super smashed and was playing with her food.. Literally. Like she was making a super duper huge mess. she was taking all the chips on her plate and crushing them into a million pieces, and spreading them all over her plate. Like really? I mean how old are you? That was cool when we were like in 6th grade, but cmon now. So naturally, I started calling her "crumbs" and giving her a hard time about it. The girl on my far left ended up not only bumping her head on the wall behind her, but spilling her drink all over the table. I dubbed her, "spills." The other girls at the table didn't mean really anything to me, except kate, who I was still putting in work with. i must say though, she ordered 2 meals for herself. That's flipping crazy.
After needling both of them, it started to get kind of heated in a funny way. I couldn't stop laughing at how immature these girls were, and how lame they were when it came to insults. They had nothing really good, and Kolby and I kept needling them about everything. "Can someone spill a drink all over the table again? thanks." or, "Does anyone have some crushed potato chips I could borrow? Oh there we go." stuff like that. It ended up being really funny. Even kolby was having a good time, and he was throwing back insults at them like it was no one's business. At this same time, I found out that the meters were FREE after 2pm, so I wouldn't even of have to pay the change that I did. Well, that's good to know. I also found out from kate that megan's boyfriend was a virgin, and kate straight up told me she is a whore and can't wait more than 2 weeks without sex. She also said she doesn't believe in relationships at all... Sounds like a true Slore to me. lol.
Around this time, megan ends up actually leaving and going home with the redhead girl who drove. I call her barfing megan now because that's all she is good for, apparently. Crumbs wanted me to drive her ass home, but I quickly quipped, "Sorry I didn't drive.. I rode a bike here. literally, a 2 seater bike with kolby." That got her off my back. Drunk people believe everything.
After a while, everyone got up to go and pay their tab. I apologized to the waittress for the mess they made. It seriously looked like a atom bomb had just been dropped on the table, lol. Food and crumbs were literally everywhere. After all that happened, we ended up walking out and going our separate ways. The whole time Kolby and I could not stop laughing at how stupid they were. What a great night.
After all that crap happened, I went and got my haircut.. My old nemesis Socorro cut my hair.. The reason I call her my nemesis is because I am pretty sure this woman had it out for me forever. I remember back in the day she would skip over me even though my name was on the list, among other things.. And I never knew why, either.

Kolby and I ended up parking at one of the meters, and I managed to find a few quarters that I threw into the little toll meter thing to get us about 30 minutes of time. I wasn't planning on staying long, and now we had an excuse to leave whenever because we only had 30 minutes of time alotted. Little did I know what I was getting into.
When kolby and I get inside, we see that the group had already ordered food and were chowing down. All the girls I had met earlier in the night were there, including some other girls that I hadn't had the opportunity to meet just yet. Before we could even sit down, Megan starts gagging and looks like she is about to hurl. I never realized how hammered she was. Yummy. Her red haired friend (probably the nicest girl at the entire table, that I would come to find out) walked her to the bathroom where she puked her brains out. In the meantime, we were entertaining the "guests".
So starting off, I was always good at selling myself, so I was trying really hard to sound personable, get to know everyone at the table, and so on. Little did I know how rude these girls were. After some small talk at the beginning, it started to get heated almost immediately. But, it turned heated in a good way. The girl next to me, who apparently has a boyfriend from north carolina, was super smashed and was playing with her food.. Literally. Like she was making a super duper huge mess. she was taking all the chips on her plate and crushing them into a million pieces, and spreading them all over her plate. Like really? I mean how old are you? That was cool when we were like in 6th grade, but cmon now. So naturally, I started calling her "crumbs" and giving her a hard time about it. The girl on my far left ended up not only bumping her head on the wall behind her, but spilling her drink all over the table. I dubbed her, "spills." The other girls at the table didn't mean really anything to me, except kate, who I was still putting in work with. i must say though, she ordered 2 meals for herself. That's flipping crazy.
After needling both of them, it started to get kind of heated in a funny way. I couldn't stop laughing at how immature these girls were, and how lame they were when it came to insults. They had nothing really good, and Kolby and I kept needling them about everything. "Can someone spill a drink all over the table again? thanks." or, "Does anyone have some crushed potato chips I could borrow? Oh there we go." stuff like that. It ended up being really funny. Even kolby was having a good time, and he was throwing back insults at them like it was no one's business. At this same time, I found out that the meters were FREE after 2pm, so I wouldn't even of have to pay the change that I did. Well, that's good to know. I also found out from kate that megan's boyfriend was a virgin, and kate straight up told me she is a whore and can't wait more than 2 weeks without sex. She also said she doesn't believe in relationships at all... Sounds like a true Slore to me. lol.
Around this time, megan ends up actually leaving and going home with the redhead girl who drove. I call her barfing megan now because that's all she is good for, apparently. Crumbs wanted me to drive her ass home, but I quickly quipped, "Sorry I didn't drive.. I rode a bike here. literally, a 2 seater bike with kolby." That got her off my back. Drunk people believe everything.
After a while, everyone got up to go and pay their tab. I apologized to the waittress for the mess they made. It seriously looked like a atom bomb had just been dropped on the table, lol. Food and crumbs were literally everywhere. After all that happened, we ended up walking out and going our separate ways. The whole time Kolby and I could not stop laughing at how stupid they were. What a great night.

oh chyeah
1/17 Today was the Stars game! I was so pumped. I was out all night the night prior so I set my alarm for 10:20, thinking that would still be fine in order to get tickets.. I know they play the Red Wings and all, but I figured it still would not have mattered because it was on a tuesday during the first week of school.. Boy was I wrong.
When I looked online to order the tickets, they were already completely sold out for the 9 dollar tickets.. needless to say, I was pretty bummed. I couldn't believe they sold out so quickly! The next highest up in terms of cheapness was 23 something dollars, which I really didn't want to pay. I took one last ditch effort and went over to stubhub, and managed to find the tickets for 18 dollars apiece, but there were only 6 available tickets and we had 8 people! Well, Andrea texted me and said she had some meeting or something she had to go to that night and her and JT weren't going to make it. She had told JT to text me and tell me what's up but of course JT was asleep or not paying attention or something.. Who knows with that kid. I ended up buying the tickets to stub hub and headed down that way in the evening. I picked up Sam and his friend on the way out there (I met them over at the gas station in Arlington). Sam drives a piece of crap white car.. I figured he would drive something better or something but maybe I am just being superficial. Anyway, we head out towards dallas to meet up with shadi, gina, and brooke at gingermans at 7pm. I actually made it on time, and actually got there before both Shadi and Brooke/Gina arrived!
I was dressed to impress as well, I wore Jeans, a white button up with a black sweater pulled over it, and my nice banana republic jacket over that. Shadi wore the same jacket I did so we kept making jokes the whole night about wearing the same jackets. Once we met up with everyone over at ol' gingers, we decided the great idea to save parking would be to all pile in one car.. I told the group that I preferred to take 2 cars and that shadi could drive brooke, but shadi's car was dirty so he agreed that we all pile in my BMW. That means 6 people in 5 available seats.. We somehow managed to make it work (which I still don't know how we got everyone in the backseat. Brooke had to sit in the middle on top of Gina's lap just to fit.) and we rode "mexican" over to the stub hub place. Yeah, apparently you can't print the tickets online, you have to go and physically pick them up. WHICH IS REALLY FUNNY, BECAUSE YOU GET CHARGED 15$ FOR A DELIVERY FEE. That makes no sense.. But whatever. Luckily, the stubhub place was only a few blocks from the American Airlines Center, so I took my crappy phone (still freezing all the time, even though it's a new phone) and put the address in and got us on our way there. We actually managed to find the place, which I have no idea how.. If it really wasn't for Brooke, I really don't think we could've found the place. To get inside stub hub, you have to park in the garage, and walk to a really sketchy door, where there is a sign that says STUBHUB on it. You than have to ring the doorbell, and then they unlock the door for you (Which looks like it had been broken into before but it could barely shut all the way).
When we got into the stub hub office and got the tickets, I smartly asked about parking and if we could just remain parked in the parking garage without getting towed. The stubhub lady ended up giving us a free platinum seating ticket worth 20 bucks so we got free parking! that ain't a bad deal at all. So we all piled back into the car, rode mexican style again over to the american airlines center, piled out, and walked into the arena. (I also forgot to mention, shadi got us yelled at by a police officer but he said loudly to all of us, "we should all jaywalk!" lol.)
When we walked in, apparently everyone from detroit was at the game because there was more detroit fans than there were stars fans from what it seemed like. We got lost walking around trying to find our seats, until we did finally eventually find them way up in the rafters. It looked to me that the seats we sat in were 9$ seats, which kind of pissed me off because that means we wayyyyy overpaid on seats with stubhub.. But she did give us free parking, so can't go wrong there, plus there was no 9$ seats available anyway so it wasn't a bad deal at all. When we sat down and looked around, I saw a bunch of empty "9$ seats" that i guess weren't available online. really stupid.
So the game was enjoyable. After the first period, shadi was hungry so we went to go on a beer run downstairs. When we walked outside, i ran into ben yang, who was also at the game, and we talked a bit about me possibly moving to dallas for this wells fargo bank job while the 2 girls waited in line for brew. After talking with him for a minute, we let him go and shadi and I went to join the 2 girls, while sam and his friend left and went to the opposing line in the pizza patron section to get food there. When Shadi and I stepped in front, apparently some fat redneck girl in a stars jersey thought we were cutting, and didn't take to kindly to our behavior. She went out and told shadi, "blazers or not, cutting isn't cool.." I looked at Shadi when she said that, and I could tell shadi wasn't paying attention at all, and he replied back with.. "Welll...... Alright then!" in his deadpan voice. It was so funny, Gina and Brooke could not stop laughing about it. I didn't even get a chance to order, because the concession stand ran out of water. Yeah.. I have no idea how you run out of water, but they apparently did.
We went back to our seats and enjoyed the rest of the game.. I talked to gina about her new job, and how kansas doesn't have hockey, and how I wish she stayed, and all of that. I even put my arm around the girl and kissed her on the cheek and took pictures with her. It was a very nice moment. Her laugh really does warm my heart.. She is a really good girl, and it kind of sucks that she is moving in 2 weeks away to Kansas permanently. She still seems interested in me too, but I have no idea what's going to happen. At the same time all of this is going on, I'm talking to Sam, and we get on the topic of rushing.. apparently, his friends want him to go beta and I basically told him no and told him all the benefits he would get out of pi kappa phi.. And he said he would check them out! Maybe we have a possible future Pi Kapp in the house!? Too bad he can't be my little bro in the frat... That would be awesome.
The game was close all the way to the end. Near the end of regulation with a tie game, I could see Gina really getting into the game and getting stressed out and almost every near goal.... At least the game was exciting. It ended up going into an overtime and then a shootout, which we ended up losing 1-0.
after the game was over, I wanted to show sam and his friends what all dallas has to offer.. they have never went drinking before out here, so we all agreed to hit up uptown for a bit for some drinks. We all piled back in the car and I put on "Still Moving by Pretty Lights"... Soundtrack to my life I tell ya! We rode mexican back to boll street, and went straight over to renfields (the place was empty and I didn't know any of the people working there) and ended up jumping ship and headed to sfuzi for some brews. We stood around and talked about literally everything, and it was really really nice. Also, I saw Erick DAMPIER OF THE DALLAS MAVERICKS in the house! The dude is HUGE! He is starting to look a little old though. After a little bit, Shadi and I took a "designated bro bathroom break" to see what other girls were in the house.. And so I could text adrienne B., this really hot blonde girl from Tech back (I couldn't do it before because Gina was always right there). We had been going back and forth as far as talking and she seems like a really legit nice girl.. So who knows, maybe I will come see her or something. Unfortunately, there was nothing really to look at in Sfuzzi that I really saw, and it didn't really matter anyway because we were with gina, brooke, and my friends and we couldn't ditch them anyways.
When we walked back and met up with the group, Sam got to talking about how he can't drink anymore because he has a bad heart condition where he had to get a pacemaker installed. He also can't play any really contact sports either, I can't even imagine what that is like. That seriously must suck. He also said that the pacemaker he originally had broke, and the doctor that operated on him left a faulty wire in him or something, so he ended up sueing, they ended up settling, and now he got 8 figures off of it! Freaking crazy.. Now he is seriously set for a long period of time.. And I know money doesn't buy you happiness, but I know it can sometimes relieve stress, and who knows, maybe it will turn to be a more valuable trade-off since he can't play any sports really the rest of his life. Besides soccer.
Around this time, gina and brooke had to bounce because brooke had work in the morning. We said by to the girls and quickly tried to make a play on the table behind us that was full of girls. Shadi ended up going up to them and trying to icebreak, by saying that they should all go take a picture with Erick Dampier, who was still in Sfuzi with his wife. The girls BLEW HIM OFF BAD. One of the blonde girls was like, "No hablo ingles." I mean really? how bitchy can you be? Shadi got pretty much hustled down but it don't matter because those girls weren't crap. They weren't even cute, and their personality is awful so who needs those type of people in your life anyway? Shadi called them all lame to their faces so we got the last word anyway, so screw them.
After the bar, I was starving, since I hadn't eaten since like lunch that day, so I tried to convince shadi to go get some grub with all of us. Shadi said he had to work, so we ended up going our separate ways and I took sam and his friend back to arlington, where sam's car was still parked. Before I did that though, we ended up eating some food at Waffle House and just kind of chilled. I found out sam's friend is getting married soon (he hasn't proposed yet) and I ended up getting a HUGE PLATE OF FOOD, the All Star Special + 2 eggs extra + another side of hash browns. I freaking killed it. And it was mighty tasty. It must've taken alot of energy to cook our food, because our cook literally went and sat down and fell asleep at the table behind us. Hahhahaha. and yes, I got pictures.
1/18 Today I got a email from wells fargo saying that they had gotten my voicemail that I had accepted the offer and had me fill out some background information crap online. I also drove up to go see one of my BFF's, Ericka C., in Arlington.. She texted me and asked me to come work out at the Mac with her so I headed up there to lift... Unfortunately, I don't have a membership anymore so I figured I'd have to pay 5 dollars for a guest pass.. Well now, it's 8 freaking dollars! WTF. And on top of that, they STILL wouldn't let me in, until Ericka was there to "sponsor" me.. Yeah, pretty freaking retarded, but it's whatever. So I met up with Ericka at the Mac, and we worked out core, biceps, and triceps.. it's been awhile since we have worked out.. It's been awhile since I have seen ole ericka.. She still looks cute as always. We ended up staying at the gym for about 2 hours working out, and I really tried to help her fix her form so she could get stronger up top. Her friend Lauren Hinson also was at the gym, but apparently she was too cool to work out with us (I Guess, I think she is stuck up). I also ran into old Luke (AKA the guy I tried to rush like eons ago). He got let go from his Pepsi job and now he's back in the market looking for a new position. His company gave him a great compensation package, so he basically gets paid for the next 2 months while he goes and finds a job.. Not bad my friend, not bad indeed.
About an hour and a half into the workout, Ericka left because Lauren wanted to go and she was her ride. I ended up staying, and finishing my bicep workout. After the gym, I went and got some Chipoodle (that brown rice really is freaking amazing) and headed home, only to leave again in 30 minutes to go meet Chris out in Montgomery Plaza.. Although it is a wednesday, there was virtually nobody out. I forgot that when school is in session, the place is pretty dead except for thurs/fri/and saturday. Chris and I spent most of the time at Pour House, watching the Clippers/Mavs game and hanging out. The Clippers ended up winning on a last second shot by Chauncey Billups and I ended up schooling Chris in Pool at the same time.. (well not really schooling, he missed the corner pocket for the 8-ball and I knocked it in). We ended up jetting around 12:30 and headed home and here is where I am at now.
When I looked online to order the tickets, they were already completely sold out for the 9 dollar tickets.. needless to say, I was pretty bummed. I couldn't believe they sold out so quickly!

Progresssss
1/14 I know I'm been bad at this, but let me fill in what happened yesterday. So today was yet again a other chill day for me. It was very, very beautiful outside, so I knew I had to go outside at one point... I also wanted to check out my video camera so I was sure to take both out with one stone. Before I get into that epic adventure, I was getting my phone blown up by Dominique the bartender, ashley Phillips (who I had talked on the short drive to don pablos), and Megan d.. (I always want to call her megan P for some reason..).
Long story short, I ended up chilling and watching the saints and 49ers game... It was a really great game, but I missed the game winning touchdown because stupid directtv is messed up. Once the game was at halftime, I embarked on a trip to the sand dunes, with old Meeks in tow, to try out my spiffy new camera... Little did I know what was in store for me.
The moment I let Meeks out of the car, she started going crazy and went and tried to sniff everything... It took forever to actually get into the dunes, but when I did, the first thing I did was tie up Meeks to the picnic table so I could do some sand dune climbing with my camcorder. Bad idea.
So I tried the great idea of climbing the sand dunes with my camera in my right hand at the same time. I managed to get halfway up, until I placed my hand in what I thought was a sturdy hold, which need up being not the case as the sand eroded and I lost my grip and actually fell off the mountain. As I fell, I hyper extended my right foot trying to maintain my balance and not fall, but my momentum was too strong and I fell off of it onto the ground below. I was seriously lucky that I had no Injuries and the camera was fine.
I decided to put the camera away and climb again. Again, I got halfway up before I lost my balance and ended up falling off the wall and landing on my feet. Good thing I crouched when I landed, otherwise I could've done serious damage to my knees. I was not going to let myself be deterred, to I put the camera away and climbed it again, this time making it to the top. SUCCESS!
After I climbed up, I took Meeks back and watched Tim tebow get absolutely smashed by new England.... I really don't know why so many people hate the guy, he's a good dude. I originally was supposed to go out tonight with old kolby but he opted to back out last minute because we went out so much this week and it was a far drive. I quickly searched for a replacement wingman for tonight, but couldn't find one. Just then, guess who called me...
Only jacquelyne... The girl I send random "holy frijoles" texts too. We ended up talking for a bit but before long the conversation started to get hot and heavy... So heavy she ended up sending me a picture of her "situation.".. I don't even know this girl, and she doesn't even know what I really look like and she is sending me that... Just goes to show she's not the type of girl that I would be into. Either way, midway through our phone conversation, my phone deserted randomly.. Thank god. I'm pretty sure that was god saving me right there.
After that debacle, I went to the gym and played some hoops. I ran drills for the first 30 minutes, and then ended up playing 25 and a game of 2 on 2. My shot and midrange game is really developing, and I scored 23 points but barely lost. A lot of my points came from 3 pointers and midrange which is good. My teammate (a Mexican kid from kennedale who can run forever and dribble pretty well) and I were down 6-1 to the other team and we came all the way back and stomped them for the win. I had an awesome pass where I was in the middle of the key, impacted up my dribble, put the ball through my legs (like Bryan) and then hit my teammate who was cutting to the hoop with a no look bounce pass for the layup... SICK!
I'm going to bed now, night
Long story short, I ended up chilling and watching the saints and 49ers game... It was a really great game, but I missed the game winning touchdown because stupid directtv is messed up. Once the game was at halftime, I embarked on a trip to the sand dunes, with old Meeks in tow, to try out my spiffy new camera... Little did I know what was in store for me.
The moment I let Meeks out of the car, she started going crazy and went and tried to sniff everything... It took forever to actually get into the dunes, but when I did, the first thing I did was tie up Meeks to the picnic table so I could do some sand dune climbing with my camcorder. Bad idea.
So I tried the great idea of climbing the sand dunes with my camera in my right hand at the same time. I managed to get halfway up, until I placed my hand in what I thought was a sturdy hold, which need up being not the case as the sand eroded and I lost my grip and actually fell off the mountain. As I fell, I hyper extended my right foot trying to maintain my balance and not fall, but my momentum was too strong and I fell off of it onto the ground below. I was seriously lucky that I had no Injuries and the camera was fine.
I decided to put the camera away and climb again. Again, I got halfway up before I lost my balance and ended up falling off the wall and landing on my feet. Good thing I crouched when I landed, otherwise I could've done serious damage to my knees. I was not going to let myself be deterred, to I put the camera away and climbed it again, this time making it to the top. SUCCESS!
After I climbed up, I took Meeks back and watched Tim tebow get absolutely smashed by new England.... I really don't know why so many people hate the guy, he's a good dude. I originally was supposed to go out tonight with old kolby but he opted to back out last minute because we went out so much this week and it was a far drive. I quickly searched for a replacement wingman for tonight, but couldn't find one. Just then, guess who called me...

behind
so i know i'm falling behind on this so let me try and catch yall up to speed....
1/8 So the highlight really of today was that I chilled... It was raining all day and stormy outside, and it was a Sunday so I really didn't want to move much. I tried to get some people together to go to church with me but no one was able to pull through. I stayed out way too late on Saturday night and didn't get to bed until late so I ended up not making it to church.. Not a good excuse I know, I really need to get back into the swing of things again. At like 8 or 9pm I was feeling in the mood to go do something so I a text out to Cydnee, a girl I met at library a LONG time ago with Shadi (I think it was like 2 weeks after I broke up with shelby. Unfortunately, we haven't hung out since then I don't think, so I didn't think she would follow through.). Surprisingly, she was actually going out that night! Yeah, she's pretty much an alcoholic.. Lol.
Even better, she was going out with all girls, and 6 of them! Sounded way too good to be true, but I had nothing going on and they were going to Pour house, which isn't that far from where I lived. So I called up Chris and told him the situation, and he agreed to meet me at like 10:15 out at Montgomery Plaza. I was dressed to impress, so I went with the blazer, jeans, and a dark shirt.
Knowing me, I was running late (I swear, my bathroom shower water power is seriously messed up... I had to mess with it for like 5-10 minutes before I realized that the water was on and that's why the water pressure was so low.). When Chris and I met up, we headed over to Pour House not really knowing what to expect.
When we get to Pour House, we realize 1. It's Karoake night and 2. There is no cover today. It was pretty dead inside when we got in there, accept for a huge group near the front of the stage watching people do drunk karoake. I thought she might be in that big group in the front but I wasn't sure, and she wasn't answering my texts, so Chris and I just hung out at the bar for the moment. After we finished a beer, we checked out "The Garage" which was the next door club place and saw that that had a little more people, but still wasn't the crowd or the environment we were looking for (I felt like the bar was in the middle of the subwoofer, it was super freaking loud, and I tried the "hey what time is it?" line setup to the cute blonde girl sitting next to me and it didn't work out.). We ended up leaving there when Cydnee texted me and said she was going with all her friends to Froggies over on white settlement..
When we stepped outside, it started POURING so I got freaking soaked, even though I ran all the way to my car. Chris hopped in Passenger and we set out to our new destination.. First I would like to say, my BMW lights do not work very well in the rain and in the dark, and Second, it was nearly impossible to actually get to the bar. For some reason, white settlement doesn't have a off road to the bar directly, and you had to pass the bar, take the next road, and work your way back to the bar.
When we stepped into the bar, soaking wet, we saw that it was completely empty except for 1 pretty cute girl sitting at the bar. She mentioned to us, "So it looks like it is raining?" and I ended up talking to her for a second before I realized she was one of the 6 girls Cydnee was bringing with her. Cydnee walked in 5 minutes after we did (I have no idea how we beat her there) and we realized that all the girls in the bar were all Cydnee's friends... And might I say, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. THEY WERE ALL HOT. The first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the group was.... "FIELD DAY BITCHES." lol. LET'S START GAMING.
Using the people skill that I have attained, I tried to game the whole group. This actually works in my favor, because typically, a person that was interested in one of the girls there would go after THAT ONE GIRL.. And not really game the other girls.. Which actually works against them because you want to be liked by the girl AND all of her friends... Because they are typically more inclined to stay longer, and on top of that they are more forgiving in letting you get some alone time with her because you have developed rapport with everyone. OR a guy might get intimidated by all the hot girls, and clam up, or just purely talk to his friend.. Either way, it doesn't work as well as gaming all the girls because when you do that it makes you look epically more confident and it makes you look like a ladies man. So that is what I did.
During the gaming process, I figured out like half of the girls were taken or had boyfriends... That still didn't deter me because developing friendships with these girls and then networking through them to meet other hot girls could seriously work in my favor. One of the girls I found out had just literally broke up with her boyfriend that day, and of course, she was drunk and all over the bartender.. She looked a little sloppy, and not really my type of girl. Another 1 of the girls, a dark haired girl, went out and slept in the car for whatever reason only to return later and start drama with everyone in the group for whatever reason.
Because that girl started drama, the hotter girls ended up leaving so the only girl I really knew was Cydnee. We ended up jamming out on the soundsystem and I introduced her and her friends to DJ Inphinity, one of the hottest techno guys out there. She definitely liked. Chris and I ended up playing pool with her and her friend, and I took my best shot at trying to teach Cydnee how to play.. (She seriously had never played pool in her life so she was terrible at it, lol but it didn't really matter.) She ended up quitting halfway through to talk to one of the 'bar regulars" there, (I could've easily taken her back if I really wanted too but it's whatever..). Chris and I finished the game (Chris won on a really lucky shot) and we ended up jetting because Chris had to wake up early the next morning to go pick up his laptop... I drove Chris back to Montgomery plaza, dropped him off, and that's that.
1/9 I did a bunch of errands today.. I had an interview for a client asset manager position in Dallas in the afternoon.. Thank goodness it was in the afternoon, because I didn't go to sleep until very late sunday night.. The position would allow me to travel to california for business every couple of months, and my training is actually in california believe it or not so if I did get the job, I would get sent out there for like a month.. Crazy, huh? The interview was with a headhunter group called Gradstaff, they find jobs that are more for entry level and recently graduated college students that way it wouldn't be me competing with 15 other people that have 9 years of experience. Walking into the interview, I noticed most of the people that worked there were around my age... And might I say, the freaking front office clerk girl was SOOPAH HOT. Goodness. Should be illegal to be that hot. Anyway, they had me fill out some silly paperwork in the beginning that I tried to do as fast as I can, including the w-9, than I actually went and spoke with "whats-her-name", her name literally escapes me right now, but she seemed nice. She was a kappa delta in college apparently from what she told me. I felt like I pretty much aced the interview. After the interview was over, she told me she would go and submit my resume into the hiring group and that I would probably get an interview from them later on that week.
After the interview was over, it was like 3:30 and I had a tough decision to make... Do i stay out in dallas and possibly meet up with chris and go watch the title game, and risk that he might bail, or do I head home? I opted to stay and swing by the mall area where I walked around for a bit.. I ended up actually buying a shirt, believe it or not, from Banana Republic (which I thought was on sale but was surprisingly wrong). It was a dark shirt, and I bought it primarily so I would have something to wear with my nice cuordoroy(spelling?) suit jacket thing that I got from them. After doing that, I swung by vitamin shop and picked up some supplies, mainly some protein and a multi-vitamin. After all that, I tried to talk chris into meeting up in uptown (which was the original plan) but he suddenly decided to back out so he could go watch the game with his parents.... I tried in vain to get him to come out, but it did not work out.. So I ended up texting Jesse D-unit to find out that a bunch of people were going out in arlington to watch the game.. He was at hooligans because he was poor, but everyone and their mother was apparently at Humperdinks.. I really wanted to go to boomerjacks. Chris, of course, didn't want to go to either.. Even if I picked him up. freaking unreliable... But whatever.
I ended up driving straight through arlington and home, after I found out from Jesse that it was a huge dudefest up at humperdinks (A fiji dudefest). Before I got home, I stopped by best buy near ridgemar mall to FINALLY get my phone fixed.. I literally couldn't stand my broken phone any longer.. Freaking thing crashing all the time and the GPS never worked. So i had them exchange it out for a brand new one, which would ship in a few days, and in the meantime, they would give me some crappy loaner phone that I could use.. It was a Samsung Galaxy 3G.. And a Galactic piece of crap I might add.. The GPS worked amazing on it, and it never froze, but the internet was SO SLOW... It was freaking awful. But, at least I was one step closer to getting my new phone that would be crash-free and HOPEFULLY the GPS worked in it.
I wanted to go look at camcorders as well while i was there, but they were closing the store at 9 and I got my phone in there at like 8:45... They saved all my contacts to the sim card, and for whatever reason that also stored ALL my twitter contacts and some of my facebook friends who I don't have numbers for.. Why it did that? no one knows.. But it was freaking annoying, because I had like 800 numbers in my phone so it took forever to go through it and delete the stuff I don't need or to even find a number or whatever that I needed on that phone. One last thing.. When I took my phone in and was explaining to the cell phone guy all the issues it had, and then told him the battery smelt funny, like it was corroded or whatever, the guy takes out his own phone, which also happens to be a samsung infuse, and takes the battery out of the phone and literally smells his own battery! lol it was pretty funny... The guy seemed pretty cool, he apparently is in a band or something because he would not stop talking about it to the mexican guy sitting next to me (who also was in a band, apparently.. I still haven't decided on a camcorder yet, so we shall see what happens.

Sunday, January 8, 2012
So here is my update of the past 2 prior days,.,
1/6 So I'm going to make this one short and sweet but I ended up going to downtown fort worth by myself... I had pretty much given up on all my wingmen and I was pulling chicks pretty easy by myself so I decided to head out to capital bar and dirty crow, where I had exhibited some success before. Might I also like to mention that chris finally texted me today and I acted like I didn't know who he was and he pretty much freaked out.. So much that he was not only blowing my phone up, but he was also blowing up vijethas and my sisters phone up wondering if I was mad at him. Lol I made him sweat a little, but I did end up calling him back. Regardless of what happened, in the long run that stuff doesn't really matter. I just need to seriously take it a quarter mile at s time and just go from there. That's how I need to live in 2012.
When I did talk to chris, I could tell he was really sorry just by how anxious he was. Before I even called him back I talked to v about everything and she kept saying we should work it out or whatever and that I should call him back. Besides, it's chris bates... I can't be mad at the guy forever... (especially since I sprayed that fart spray in his car lol). When I did talk to chris, I told him I didn't like that he had lied (we were supposed to rock climbing a day before we actually did but he lied and said he was still cooking when he wasn't). I also said he needed to be more reliable among other things. When I finished calling him out, he pretty much accepted it and said he would try to fix things now. He originally wanted to go to downtown tonight but he ended up getting stuck at work forever, so I told him not to worry about it.
I also discovered that playing pool solo doesn't work as well when pulling tail. I went straight to capital bar and spent most of my night there, since I had done library the night before and dirty crow.. I ran into old Kinsey young, and her boyfriend and his friends. It was nice to catch up with her.. Supposedly, her and kasey had a falling out over something silly and it strained her relationships with her friends with everyone. Her boyfriend seemed a bit nerdy, but surprisingly cool. I never really got to meet the rest of her friends.
After talking with her, they all decided they wanted to dance so they all went to the second floor of the bar area... I followed them up there and went straight for the bar, which took the guy forever to get me a drink even though all I asked for was a beer. After I got my drink, I turned around and saw the whole group gone. Oh well. None of her friends were worth taking a flyer on anyway.
I endedmup going downstairs and checking out the pool area, where I started a game of pool and just hung out. There was some people there, but it wasn't packed. I finished the game rather quickly (maybe I gt some pool skill after all!) and I noticed a dark haired girl standing right behind me all by herself. I debated whether I should go talk to her or not, because the rule of thub is a girl will never go to a bar by herself... Like ever. So I figured her boyfriend was in the area or something ut I figured, hey why not? And opened a set with her.
I asked her to play pool, but she quickly shied away. I asked her if she played darts and she said no too. So I decided to mention one more "feeler question" and if she blows this one off than I would just move on. I ended up mentioning to her that I just moved there and almost instantly she dropped her phone, turned to me, and started asking questions.. It was rather amazing. Her name was Victoria and she works for bnsf railway. She was with her friend who was across the bar from her, surrounded by s pack of guys. Apparently, according to Victoria, her friend Marie knew everyone and was "in the know".
I continued to talk to Victoria but before long her buddy Marie had gotten the guys out of the picture and came over and joined our conversation.. I did pretty well balancing the convo out between both girls and learned some good info from them. Marie is a kappa alpha theta, from tcu and she was in her early 20s. Victoria was 28, married, with a house, and out of school. Yes, I said married. So did I get her number? Well...
I got both of them. Lol. Marie is single and she is pretty cute. She also likes to rock climb. Both are brunettes and supposed BFFs. Victoria clarified she was married but still gave me her number anyway. When I asked her where her husband was, she said he was going to pick them up... I found that rather interesting. Why go out without him? Unless youre trying to portray that you are single? Who knows.
After the bar closed, I waited with them until Victorias husband or something came. I hugged them both nd jet. Being single does have some great advantages (and so does lone wolfing it to bars! )
1/7
Today was a chill day... My sister and mom both wanted to go to a shooting range for their birthday (which is kind of amazing in itself because I can't see my mom liking guns whatsoever). So we drove to the elk shooting range on cherry lane in fort worth for some family bonding time. I had never shot a gun before either (I went to a gun range during rush week one year about 3 or 4 years back but I never shot.. I remember giving JD such a hard time and I kept telling everyone that JD brought a crossbow and a knife to the gun range, lol. Jasmine was our night event girl that night [this is before her and Cody shacked up and are now engaged with a baby in tow - I'll give details about that later]). I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit intimidated shooting a gun just because the risk was so high if you made any type of mistake you could get seriously injured. Nonetheless, the person that was running the gun shop was a very nice and knowledgeable person about guns and he showed us a bunch that we could choose from. On the wall behind him, he had m4s, shotguns, and other "heavy artillery". And again,I won't lie, but I was definitely interested in shooting those as well.
After going through a quick lesson on how to load and fire the weapon, we settled on a 9mm Luger. We all wore protective eyewear and ear protection stuff since it was indoor, the sound was much more louder then if we were outside. My dad ended up shooting first. There were 3 other people in the lanes next to us, and when one of them shot when we first got in there everyone jumped but me. I could totally tell and sense how nervous my mom was now around guns.. I could also see her rethinking her decision to shoot one too.
Might I say, even with the ear wear, the gun we were shooting was insanely loud. It also had a really bad recoil, where the top part of the gun shifted backwards when you shot, so it could feed the gun another bullet. So if your hand was in the way, yeah.... Major Payne (no pun intended.). I shot right after my dad and I was nervous from the get go. I mean, what if I put the bullets in backwards or something? What if I shot and hit a metal thing and it ricochet back into me? Idk, I guess I like to worry a lot and take hypotheticals into account. None of that ended up happening, and after I shot, I felt cool, calm, and collected. I even hit the target in the ear! Bullseye.
Next up was my mom and sister. When they were going up to shoot, I looked around at some of the other people shooting. Seems like we had quite the diverse crowd.. There was a nerdy guy to my right wearing a xmen hoodie, and a couple rows down I saw a guy that gave me the impression he was still living with his mother. I won't hate though. But now I contemplate what guns can do. When you hold a gun and fire it for the first time, I swear, you get this sense of power feeling wash over you... Maybe a little sense of entitlement. Like, I can't even explain the feeling, really. If you think about any competitive sport, such as basketball, football, tennis, etc... You will reach a certain age where you just can't play at a high level anymore... Or you just don't have a skillset to play well at all... Maybe you are uncoordinated or something, who knows. The point being, guns you are on a level playing field.. It doesn't matter how athletic, old, male/female, Caucasian, black, whatever... You can shoot a gun whenever and I guess that's why some people buy them. I don't know, just my speculation on it.
Manwhile, mr. "I'm still living with my mother" decided to bring a shotgun to the target range and pretty much obliterated the targets he was shooting. While he was shooting, he was also laughing maniacally. Pretty sketchy bro.
My mom and sister were both nervous shooting the gun. My sister didn't flinch as bad as my mom, but when my mom went up to shoot, it really looked like she didn't want to have anything to do with the gun she was holding in her hand. She held the gun too tight and leaned all the way back, expecting the worst. Even when she was aiming, you could tell her hands were shaking a tad. After she fired off a few rounds, one of the empty shell casings hit her in the head (didn't hurt or anything, just scared her) and she was pretty much done for the afternoon.
Before we left, we tried out a .38 I think? This one had bullets that were a lot more skinnier and the gun itself had a lot less recoil, which means it also wasn't as loud. I actually preferred this gun to the other one, and everyone else agreed.
After we left the gun range, we went to don pablos to eat. I scarfed my enchiladas down with the quickness and washed it all down with a nice cold beer.
We left and went home. My sister had to leave because she was beginning training for her exec board thing with tri delta and I ended up going out that evening with....guess who... Shadi. I had deleted his number but he called me and asked me to go out.. I was kind of bored so I said yes and called some of my friends. My friend Gina and her friend Brooke met up with us out at Gingermans pub.. Might I say that it took me forever to get there? Because it did... Because some smart guys decided to close interstate 30... Why? For construction, but that is still super freaking retarded. The rest of the night was enjoyable though.. I really think I might like this Gina chick, but like Shadi said, I need to make a decision if I'm going to for sure go after her before breaking the friend barrier (I.e. Kiss her, etc.) otherwise it may turn into another yessica situation (I'll explain later.).
Shadi originally only wanted to stay out until 1 but he ended up staying out the whole night. Ginas friend Brooke is really cool as nice... I could really see her and Shadi being a good couple but she is wacky and she will never run out of stuff to talk about with her.. She seems like she has a great personality to boot and she has a good job so who knows?
After some drinks at ginger mans, we ended up leaving and going to "the den" to meet up with 2 of their friends.. We never ended up running into them, but we spent the rest of the evening in the rooftop hanging out, people watching, and talking. (I swear, there was a girl wearing some fur vest that looked like a Viking, lol).

1/6 So I'm going to make this one short and sweet but I ended up going to downtown fort worth by myself... I had pretty much given up on all my wingmen and I was pulling chicks pretty easy by myself so I decided to head out to capital bar and dirty crow, where I had exhibited some success before. Might I also like to mention that chris finally texted me today and I acted like I didn't know who he was and he pretty much freaked out.. So much that he was not only blowing my phone up, but he was also blowing up vijethas and my sisters phone up wondering if I was mad at him. Lol I made him sweat a little, but I did end up calling him back. Regardless of what happened, in the long run that stuff doesn't really matter. I just need to seriously take it a quarter mile at s time and just go from there. That's how I need to live in 2012.
When I did talk to chris, I could tell he was really sorry just by how anxious he was. Before I even called him back I talked to v about everything and she kept saying we should work it out or whatever and that I should call him back. Besides, it's chris bates... I can't be mad at the guy forever... (especially since I sprayed that fart spray in his car lol). When I did talk to chris, I told him I didn't like that he had lied (we were supposed to rock climbing a day before we actually did but he lied and said he was still cooking when he wasn't). I also said he needed to be more reliable among other things. When I finished calling him out, he pretty much accepted it and said he would try to fix things now. He originally wanted to go to downtown tonight but he ended up getting stuck at work forever, so I told him not to worry about it.
I also discovered that playing pool solo doesn't work as well when pulling tail. I went straight to capital bar and spent most of my night there, since I had done library the night before and dirty crow.. I ran into old Kinsey young, and her boyfriend and his friends. It was nice to catch up with her.. Supposedly, her and kasey had a falling out over something silly and it strained her relationships with her friends with everyone. Her boyfriend seemed a bit nerdy, but surprisingly cool. I never really got to meet the rest of her friends.
After talking with her, they all decided they wanted to dance so they all went to the second floor of the bar area... I followed them up there and went straight for the bar, which took the guy forever to get me a drink even though all I asked for was a beer. After I got my drink, I turned around and saw the whole group gone. Oh well. None of her friends were worth taking a flyer on anyway.
I endedmup going downstairs and checking out the pool area, where I started a game of pool and just hung out. There was some people there, but it wasn't packed. I finished the game rather quickly (maybe I gt some pool skill after all!) and I noticed a dark haired girl standing right behind me all by herself. I debated whether I should go talk to her or not, because the rule of thub is a girl will never go to a bar by herself... Like ever. So I figured her boyfriend was in the area or something ut I figured, hey why not? And opened a set with her.
I asked her to play pool, but she quickly shied away. I asked her if she played darts and she said no too. So I decided to mention one more "feeler question" and if she blows this one off than I would just move on. I ended up mentioning to her that I just moved there and almost instantly she dropped her phone, turned to me, and started asking questions.. It was rather amazing. Her name was Victoria and she works for bnsf railway. She was with her friend who was across the bar from her, surrounded by s pack of guys. Apparently, according to Victoria, her friend Marie knew everyone and was "in the know".
I continued to talk to Victoria but before long her buddy Marie had gotten the guys out of the picture and came over and joined our conversation.. I did pretty well balancing the convo out between both girls and learned some good info from them. Marie is a kappa alpha theta, from tcu and she was in her early 20s. Victoria was 28, married, with a house, and out of school. Yes, I said married. So did I get her number? Well...
I got both of them. Lol. Marie is single and she is pretty cute. She also likes to rock climb. Both are brunettes and supposed BFFs. Victoria clarified she was married but still gave me her number anyway. When I asked her where her husband was, she said he was going to pick them up... I found that rather interesting. Why go out without him? Unless youre trying to portray that you are single? Who knows.
After the bar closed, I waited with them until Victorias husband or something came. I hugged them both nd jet. Being single does have some great advantages (and so does lone wolfing it to bars! )
1/7
Today was a chill day... My sister and mom both wanted to go to a shooting range for their birthday (which is kind of amazing in itself because I can't see my mom liking guns whatsoever). So we drove to the elk shooting range on cherry lane in fort worth for some family bonding time. I had never shot a gun before either (I went to a gun range during rush week one year about 3 or 4 years back but I never shot.. I remember giving JD such a hard time and I kept telling everyone that JD brought a crossbow and a knife to the gun range, lol. Jasmine was our night event girl that night [this is before her and Cody shacked up and are now engaged with a baby in tow - I'll give details about that later]). I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit intimidated shooting a gun just because the risk was so high if you made any type of mistake you could get seriously injured. Nonetheless, the person that was running the gun shop was a very nice and knowledgeable person about guns and he showed us a bunch that we could choose from. On the wall behind him, he had m4s, shotguns, and other "heavy artillery". And again,I won't lie, but I was definitely interested in shooting those as well.
After going through a quick lesson on how to load and fire the weapon, we settled on a 9mm Luger. We all wore protective eyewear and ear protection stuff since it was indoor, the sound was much more louder then if we were outside. My dad ended up shooting first. There were 3 other people in the lanes next to us, and when one of them shot when we first got in there everyone jumped but me. I could totally tell and sense how nervous my mom was now around guns.. I could also see her rethinking her decision to shoot one too.
Might I say, even with the ear wear, the gun we were shooting was insanely loud. It also had a really bad recoil, where the top part of the gun shifted backwards when you shot, so it could feed the gun another bullet. So if your hand was in the way, yeah.... Major Payne (no pun intended.). I shot right after my dad and I was nervous from the get go. I mean, what if I put the bullets in backwards or something?

so I haven't updated this and I don't want to break my resolution so let me send out a quick update..
1/4: Today was the day to return some stuff... Mostly that soundbar that wasn't working as well as I had imagined and the iPad speaker thing that I got for Christmas.. I'm really excited about getting a camcorder with the money, I just don't know which one. I am really digging the Hero camera, because it's waterproof and meant for outdoors, just the only problem is that it can't zoom in... like at all. So I'm still kind of undecided about the whole thing. Outside of that, I did some unemployment work and I landed a interview for a financial analysis company that was supposed to be friday 1/6, but got moved to monday at 2:30. It's an entry level analyst position in dallas, and I am kind of excited about it and hope I get it.
1/5 Yesterday I had a big interview for a loan position with wells fargo. Dad found a job with them on wells fargo for me the night prior and they had advertised that they were having a job fair for that position in bedford from 8am-6pm. I woke up kind of late but managed to get to the wells fargo place before noon. Before I walked in I sat in my car, and studied the job description over again. It is a customer service role, but you need alot of experience in the loan department, which I didn't have. I got lost trying to find the building for the interview, and ended up walking around in circles but I finally managed to find it.
When I walked they had me fill out a bunch of paperwork for the job.. Because I was a walk-in and didn't have a scheduled appt. (It was nearly impossible to book an appt online on their website) I sat down with a interviewer lady named tricia and basically tried to sell her on the fact that I am a good people person and I have a bunch of background in the finance field to help cover up the non-existent loan experience that I had. I really have no idea if I got the job or not, so we shall see in the coming days.
After the job interview, I watched a few episodes of madmen with the family but I was really in the mood to go out and chill.. I was supposed to go out with megan P. but she bailed because she didn't have a car to drive herself to fort worth and her friend backed out last minute.. So going through my phone, i decided to go ahead and text hunter, one of my budding wingmen. He was heading out to library with one of his friends, and according to him, he was going to stay until 2.
I went and got all dressed up, and headed to downtown fort worth expecting to meet up with them.. When i texted him again, he texted me back one word, "left.".. so I didn't know if he meant he was on the left side of library, or he actually left the bar. When I texted him back asking him if he left the bar, he never responded and I never heard from him the rest of the night. how freaking unreliable... First him, than shadi, than chris.. Might I even say that I had my friend vijetha call shadi because he wasn't answering any of my phone calls or texts over the past week and he ended up calling me before I made it out to library.. When we started talking, he basically bitched me out for asking vijetha to contact him (he kept saying, "don't get other people involved, just understand that im busy, yada yada yada.") how hard is it to just text me back and give me a heads up or something? I had just gotten a new phone (I had gotten it when I took my old piece of crap infuse phone into best buy and they gave me a loaner phone for the time being) and chris and shadi suddenly just cut contact with me so I didn't know if it was the phone or what. Needless to say, it kind of pissed me off when he came at me like that. We talked for literally 5 minutes before I left him go and waited in a huge line at the library (the cotton bowl was today so a bunch of people were in town for that).
While I was waiting in that line, I really started reflecting on my friendships and relationships I had with other people.. I guess I felt like I was contributing way more than I was receiving, and I was quickly discovering that a bunch of people that I considered "friends" were completely and utterly un-reliable... I mean, how can I be friends with someone that you cannot rely on at all? Chris lies to me so he can get out of hanging out with me, and chad bitches me out because I had a girl text him to see if he was even alive.. Hunter can't even give me the courtesy of a text back to tell me what's up, I mean what is going on here? I think I need some new friends ASAP... People that are more reliable.. I have lots on my mind, and lots of decisions I may need to make such as cutting ties with some of these "so-called" friends (more like opportunists to me) but we shall see where the future takes us..
I ended up going to the library by myself... I was dressed to impress, and I quickly discovered that going to a bar by myself really isn't all that bad. I stand out because I dressed so well, and I don't look like a douche because I don't have a wingman with me.. In a way, it makes me look mysterious.. I had girls of all shapes and sizes approach me that night, and I really didn't even have to do much. 3 girls gave me their number (I really wasn't interested in any of them) and 1 girl even walked up to me and politely asked me for my number.. Hey, that's a change.. We shall see what tonight brings.
On the way home, I talked to Megan P for like an hour and a half in bed about just about everything.. I told her everything that happened, and it was nice to see someone understand it from my point of view. I also talked to my friend V as well, and she also sees where I am coming from. Who knows, maybe I'm having an epiphany or maybe it's a sign from God saying I need to get out of this place and move elsewhere.. Maybe it is really time to plant my flag elsewhere... Well see what in the oncoming days what happens.

Tres bien
So I'm a little late updating this thing because I was too tired from rock climbing yesterday. That's right, I went indoor rock climbing, with ole Christopher "Columbus" bates. I first went and applied to some jobs in the analyst field (there's a ton now, I guess because of the start of the new year and all) and tried to figure out my game changing plan of what I'm going to do going forward. I might possibly go get my masters and go take out loans for one semester and go back to school (probably uta) until I can find a new job but I'm still not sure.
I found out that one of my friends (Dominique, the tri delt) got fired from her job at renfields corner the other day. The day I was supposed to go to the hockey game with shadi, his girl, and the girl I met at abercrombie (she was a manager people!), Blair, she ended up cancelling on me last minute AS I WAS DRIVING TO DALLAS. I was already sick that day with a sinus infection too.. And she doesn't even apologize or even call me and tell me she can't make it.. She does it by text message.. I mean who seriously does that? And it was the whole way she said it too.. "Hey just give my ticket to someone else because I can't make it.. Raincheck!" Like really? Anyway, it ended up turning into a positive because I gave the tickets to shadi and his girl and I hit uptown.. Where I met hannah and dominique who were bartenders/cocktail waitresses/servers at renfield's corner. Dominique supposedly got too drunk or something on the clock so they fired her. That sucks because she was really really cool. But I could totally see her getting fired because drama follows her everywhere.. So I'm not surprised.
I met up with chris at dynorock in Arlington for rock climbing and Christmas gift exchanging.. I got him a nelson Cruz shirt and a an awesome "awkward family photos" calendar. During rock climbing, chris got winded way too early and hardly climbed at all. Not only is he extremely out of shape, but he gives up way too early. He needs to push himself.... That's how you get results. I ended up doing most of the climbing, and I'm not going to lie, I was concerned about my safety when I discovered chris had no idea how to "spot" me climbing down. A lot of times he would have slack on the rope because he would pull the black lever thing before I even leaned back. Silly guy. I destroyed my hands on the huge tether rope, by trying to climb it only using my hands and not my legs. I will master it though.
How could I forget about the pranks? Chris told me that he lied to me yesterday, and that he wasn't really cooking all evening like he had told me. So I felt it necessary to prank him badly for it as punishment. Whenever I would rappel him down, I would drop him like 5 feet fast then let go of the lever, forcing tension in the rope. This would cause a sudden tug in the harness around his waist, leading to chris getting racked... I did this 5 times in a row to him -- the rack of doom! Haha.
Needless to say, that doesn't top this prank I also pulled on him. After getting a classic chris phrase, "what the hell." after he opened my awkward calendar gift, I also found it necessary to try out some new "fart spray" that I got on amazon. I initially wasn't going to spray it in his car, but after I found out he had lied to me, I found it essentially necessary. (I had requested that we opened gifts in his car). I sprayed it 3 times when he wasn't looking, and then exited the car. As he was backing out, I overheard him say, "it smells like shit in here." and drive off.
About 10 minutes later, I called him on the phone and he told me "it just reeks of shit in here." and that he had all the windows rolled down. He couldn't figure out why it stunk so bad. He hypothesized that it was from rock climbing somehow. I kept quiet to keep from laughing out loud. He said it "smells like diarrhea" and that he first noticed the smell when I left the scene of the crime. He even went and checked the backseat and trunk for any open food... I got him so bad. I'm laughing just reading this.
After dynorock, I hit up the gym and played some hoops. I ran into a guy that I've hooped with before and found out he was only 17 (I thought he was in his 20s).. What a hoss.
Be back laterrrrr
I almost forgot.. A day before new years eve, I ran into ole melanie de la fuente.. THE melanie de la fuente... Aka the girl I had a crush on in high school/early college years. I ran into her at re fields in uptown. Boy, has she changed. When I was talking to her and she realized who I was, I could tell she regret blowing me off way back then when I asked her on a date (I asked her out for coffee). The whole night she was talking to me and she even facebook messaged me that night because she couldn't find me.. Well, you missed your chance Mel... You snooze you lose.
I found out that one of my friends (Dominique, the tri delt) got fired from her job at renfields corner the other day. The day I was supposed to go to the hockey game with shadi, his girl, and the girl I met at abercrombie (she was a manager people!), Blair, she ended up cancelling on me last minute AS I WAS DRIVING TO DALLAS. I was already sick that day with a sinus infection too.. And she doesn't even apologize or even call me and tell me she can't make it.. She does it by text message.. I mean who seriously does that? And it was the whole way she said it too.. "Hey just give my ticket to someone else because I can't make it.. Raincheck!" Like really? Anyway, it ended up turning into a positive because I gave the tickets to shadi and his girl and I hit uptown.. Where I met hannah and dominique who were bartenders/cocktail waitresses/servers at renfield's corner. Dominique supposedly got too drunk or something on the clock so they fired her. That sucks because she was really really cool. But I could totally see her getting fired because drama follows her everywhere.. So I'm not surprised.
I met up with chris at dynorock in Arlington for rock climbing and Christmas gift exchanging.. I got him a nelson Cruz shirt and a an awesome "awkward family photos" calendar. During rock climbing, chris got winded way too early and hardly climbed at all. Not only is he extremely out of shape, but he gives up way too early. He needs to push himself.... That's how you get results. I ended up doing most of the climbing, and I'm not going to lie, I was concerned about my safety when I discovered chris had no idea how to "spot" me climbing down. A lot of times he would have slack on the rope because he would pull the black lever thing before I even leaned back. Silly guy. I destroyed my hands on the huge tether rope, by trying to climb it only using my hands and not my legs. I will master it though.
How could I forget about the pranks? Chris told me that he lied to me yesterday, and that he wasn't really cooking all evening like he had told me. So I felt it necessary to prank him badly for it as punishment. Whenever I would rappel him down, I would drop him like 5 feet fast then let go of the lever, forcing tension in the rope. This would cause a sudden tug in the harness around his waist, leading to chris getting racked... I did this 5 times in a row to him -- the rack of doom! Haha.
Needless to say, that doesn't top this prank I also pulled on him. After getting a classic chris phrase, "what the hell." after he opened my awkward calendar gift, I also found it necessary to try out some new "fart spray" that I got on amazon. I initially wasn't going to spray it in his car, but after I found out he had lied to me, I found it essentially necessary. (I had requested that we opened gifts in his car). I sprayed it 3 times when he wasn't looking, and then exited the car. As he was backing out, I overheard him say, "it smells like shit in here." and drive off.
About 10 minutes later, I called him on the phone and he told me "it just reeks of shit in here." and that he had all the windows rolled down. He couldn't figure out why it stunk so bad. He hypothesized that it was from rock climbing somehow. I kept quiet to keep from laughing out loud. He said it "smells like diarrhea" and that he first noticed the smell when I left the scene of the crime. He even went and checked the backseat and trunk for any open food... I got him so bad. I'm laughing just reading this.
After dynorock, I hit up the gym and played some hoops. I ran into a guy that I've hooped with before and found out he was only 17 (I thought he was in his 20s).. What a hoss.
Be back laterrrrr
I almost forgot.. A day before new years eve, I ran into ole melanie de la fuente.. THE melanie de la fuente... Aka the girl I had a crush on in high school/early college years. I ran into her at re fields in uptown. Boy, has she changed. When I was talking to her and she realized who I was, I could tell she regret blowing me off way back then when I asked her on a date (I asked her out for coffee). The whole night she was talking to me and she even facebook messaged me that night because she couldn't find me.. Well, you missed your chance Mel... You snooze you lose.

Duex
So I'm going to keep this post short and sweet today.. I worked on some work for my dad and started looking at camcorders that I might purchase when I return my sound bar and my iPod dock thing I got for Christmas... It was also family movie time tonight because my sister came home with MAYA so we all watched the movie Bridesmaids. It was pretty funny. I was supposed to go rock climbing today but wasn't able to go because chris bailed last minute. He did say that he would be down to go tomorrow after...... Wait for it...............
Wait for it.......... HIS DATE..... Lol yes Chris got a date with ole Priscilla Escobar (aka a girl that was really into me and has been into me for awhile but I never reciprocated). I'm happy for chris.... A bit surprised, but happy. Priscilla is a good girl, and someone that chris could handle (chris follows me and goes for chicks in my league, that aren't in his, or he goes for party girls and comes on way too strong.)
I'm also planning another road trip to Austin so I can see Alyssa Potas, aka Amanda Potas's sister.. She has to go back to work tomorrow so she won't be able to make it up here to Dallas anytime soon.
Time to hit the hay... Zzzzzzzzz

First is the worst
So like many other people, I'm going to try and update this blog once a day for an entire year of 2012.
I'd first like to get started by discussing what happened on new years. While some people are celebrating at house parties or with there significant others, I went and celebrated in Dallas and I would like to say it was a big mistake. Nearly every place charges cover (the den, which is where Shadi and I went, charged 20 dollars of cover). And on top of all of that, every bar is super crowded so it's nearly impossible to get a drink or even move around without running into someone or getting elbowed or bumped into. New years eve is really overrated anyway. I mean what are you exactly celebrating? It's not a Christian holiday and it's not anything really different from any other weekend of the year, it's just more packed with people and drinks are more expensive. I don't know,maybe that is just me.
I'm glad 2011 is over. It's been a long year, and I'm another year older. I've lost 3 people that were close in my life, sahra, tegene, and Matt Reyes. I still can't believe sahra is really gone. I can't wrap my mind around it still. I guess it's the whole brutality of the way she passed that still really gets me... It just doesn't seem real to me still. I hope 2012 will be a much more fun and fruitful year.
Where were you when the clock struck midnight on new years eve? I was on the second floor of "the den", a bar located next to jake's hamburgers in uptown Dallas. I was in the middle of an entryway, trying to meet up with 2 girls that I had met the night prior (Gina and Michelle), 2 girls from Kansas University. Instead of meeting up with them, I got stuck in a huge crowd of random drunk and obnoxious people in the middle of the doorway. Lol. Good thing that NEw Years isn't that big of a deal to me. I did manage to meet up with Gina and Michelle, but they were only there for a few moments before they had to leave because Michelle was so drunk she could hardly stand up.
After they left, we bar hopped in bars around uptown but it didn't work as well as you would think. Half the bars were still charging cover, even though it was after midnight, and the other half weren't allowing people even in the bar anymore because the fire Marshall had come by and threatened to shut them down. So we played it low key at ginger mans on boll street, which wasn't really crowded at all (because they only serve beer and not liquor). Shadi and I got some entertainment for the night in watching some 30 year old middle eastern guy with a 1 foot beard they and spit game at a chick way out of his league. Needless to say, he went home alone.
After the bars closed, we hit up roccos pizza on McKinney street. Everyone said the had good pizza, but I wasn't too impressed. The pizza was way way too greasy. When we walked in, we both got to see some girl that was way to drunk for her own good walk out of the restaurant and puke all over the place. I guess pizza was a bad choice for her too. Lol
Today was a pretty chill day for me. I pretty much relaxed the whole day, hung out at the house, and watched the Celtic game. It was pretty entertaining (especially because they won)and rondo had a triple double. After the game was over, I went and shot some hoops then went bowling with Vijetha, jacole, and Erica.
When did I get so bad at bowling? I used to be good! Especially because I was able to put a hook on the ball and get a bunch of strikes... Now I'm awful. I had a friendly wager with Vijetha over an embarrassing picture I took of her earlier today and if she won, I'd delete it, if I won, I got to keep it. She ended up having the game of her life and getting like 5 spares which is completely unlike Vijetha and I couldn't hit anything at all. She ended up beating me by 30 pins or something.. It was bad. But I'm a man of my word, and I deleted the picture.
After bowling I went grocery shopping, and basically got all the most healthy foods that exist at walmart. Today was also one of my last days where I consistently cheat on my diet and eat really badly (I had taco bell, it wasn't really good).
Oh yeah, and chris bates got mad because I wrote on his Facebook that "tim tebow > chris bates". He texted me almost immediately after I wrote it, lol what a weird guy.
That pretty much sums up everything for today, I'll give this thing a shout later. Happy New Years!!!!
