Well Hello There, My It's Been A Long, Long Time...

Yes, it has indeed been a long time. Alot has happened with me, but ive had very little time to blog. I know, extreme sadness.

Also in the category of extreme sadness, i had to deal with on of the hardest choices in my life lately. As many of you know, i interviewed for a full time position working for apple in cleveland. I got offered the job. Yay! Well, not so much. They offered to pay little more then what i make now as a student employee. That makes very little financial sense for me to leave school to work for apple when i wouldnt be making enough money out there to barely survive. So, i had to turn the job down. Honest to god one of the hardest things ive had to do in a while.

On the job front, a technology support specialist position has opened at ITS, the job ive wanted to apply to for a while now. I went overboard and got 4 letters of reccommendation inside ITS, sent in a resume, cover letter, and reference sheet. I REALLY hope i get this job. REALLY.....rea....really.

On the good side, though, our Intramural Flag Football team seems to be shaping up very nicely. We had our first scrimmage this past thursday. We have had a few actual practices before that, but never with the whole team there. We got there around 830, then found out that they moved it to the turf room of the field house. So cary(from work) and i both had to drive to our respective homes and get tennis shoes rather than the cleats we had on. We still get to the field house with time to spare, get warmed up, stretched, and took the field. We were playing some clowns that were really cocky. We took a quick lead, but they eventually matched it. We played really well but had alot of bad coverage and penalties which gave the other team prime scoring opportunities. We only lost by one touchdown, but we could have had that game if we were prepared. Oh well, at least it was a scrimmage, not a recorded loss.

We were about to leave, and they asked us if we wanted to stay, since the 10:00 slot only had one team. About 60% of the team stayed, which was still more then enough for us to play with. The team we played i i found out afterwards was a ranked team. We had alot of experience on both sides during the second game, and ended up winning. These guys werent some random jackasses, they were ripped big guys with some real athletes on their team. We ended up winning 14-12. It was insane. I got my first TD of the season there, nothing special, but it still got us the 2pt conversion we needed. Funny part was the first play of the game, they got a 5 yard penalty because their QB didnt have flags on. Which prompted me to ask the head ref...how can this be flag football if he doesnt have....flags. Cause then its just..football. He agreed and thought it was funny. All in all, this is going to be a good time. Look for us on the intramural fields thursday nights at 9. You all may ask, dont you work those nights? Yes, i do, but my boss let me take an hour off for these few weeks for "teambuilding" since most of the guys on our team are from ITS. w00t!

Thursday was Katie and my 6 month anniversary, and since today is the only real time we have together, were going to actually go out on a date for it. Seeing as how its the 6 month milestone, i figured i should do some special things for her. Im sure shell say something about them. Its going to be good, kids, lol

Hope all is well with everyone. Please let me know you read this....i havent been posting much cause i dont see much in the chatterbox. If you read it, let me know by posting in the c-booooox!
