I havent updated in forever but I am feeling motivated to do so so Im gonna run with this motivation before it goes away and I dont get it back for another couple of months.
THE BIRD....
My job is the most amazing job I have ever had and the people that I have met there.....wow!!! Awesome people, really faithful and loyal....and as of right now, great supporters. I've been quitting smoking for about a week now and when I try to smoke when I'm drinking or something around them, they take my smoke away and break it. Its kinda shitty but at the same time, its wonderful, cause these people are wonderful....the real non judging type too.
This weekend I really did some good bonding with The Bird (Breinenstein) family. On Friday, I had a couple of drinks with three of the sisters, the brother, and the brothers girlfriend....they were so much fun and they took me on my first trip to Marty's...strong drinks the old cousins make over there! Saturday was the Annual Bird Auction and I went and bought some fun stuff and watched as Ben the brother worked the bar hungover while the sister and the girlfriend recovered from their hangovers by betting a dollar on who could out drink the other. The auction started at 2 and ended around 6 but when I came back in to work at 7:30...they were still drinking....and I'm pretty sure they started at noon....haha...they were so funny! So we had a jagermeister promotion last night and NEESON came up to see me! We had a couple of drinks and played darts with Ben and his girl, Julie (I think I shouold use her name now cause I keep bringing her up in this entry) Yeah, NEESON IS THE MOST AMAZING DART PLAYER EVER....HE ROCKS MY DART WORLD!!!! Overall, I couldnt ask for a better job and just so you all know, The Bird is the best place to drink ever....its really laid back which allows for some good drinking fun....
We have $1.50 Miller High Life and Miller High Life light on special right now!!!! Champaigne of beers.....what a deal!
THE APARTMENT
Slowly returning to the F8 that Ive always known and loved....still have alot left to go but hopefully I can learn alot by just playing with the cards that Im dealt every single day in the best way that I can. Sean is doing great, I think,.....his humor columns in CM Life are hilarious...I'm so proud. We arent nearly as close this year, which makes me really sad because well, he's just been like the big brother I always wanted since Ive known him and not having that but knowing its there makes me really, well, sad...however Im sure with time whatever put a wall between us will soon go away and I'll have my favoritest other half back again....lol...sounds like I want to have his babies....but I assure you, thats just not how it is! Brandon- well, I'm not gonna lie he created alot of pet peeves for me at first in the kitchen but now none if it really bothers me now....well excpet when he doesnt rinse his oatmeal bowls out...cause I hate soaking dishes, its takes too much time. But no, I love the kid more and more every day. I never really know what to expect from the kid but I do know that I feel safe when he is around. You can just feel him keeping an eye on everything....its not like hes all up in your business or interferes but hes observant and when he needs to take a step in or sit and do some extra listening to ensure sanity of another, he does....very cool kid! JJ, well, JJ is a story of its own and he should have his own little bolded subtopic but rather than go into useless detail that I will be laughing back at in a few years anyhow, I'll sum it up. We have our ups and downs....so many more downs than up and to be honest Ive lost a lot of trust in him as a friend and as a person just by the actions that I have seen in the last 7 months, but he is a very good person who does alot of great things for his community and his loved ones when he isnt out for revenge so with that being known I will continue to love him and continue to try to let the kid back into my heart and hopefully one day I will again love, respect, and trust him as the loyal, commited, and faitful friend I always thought he was. Apart from our own issues though, he seems to be doing great, hes the tri sigma sweetheart, continues to run CMU's campus and just became president of my favorite faternity ever....phi kappa tau! Chaci- Chaci the wonder chico chinchilla is doing better than ever....he needs a new hammock, a new sand bath, a new water bottle, and a new ball. Yeah, I have been neglecting his materialistic needs...Im thinking my lil guy is going to have to get exra spoiled pretty soon here. Jesus Fish Mr.s Gonna Die Soon is doing good too. He just relocatted to my bedroom from the living room. I think I am going to have to put him back though, its just selfish not to share his beauty and fun stupidity of a 7 second memory with everyone! Now all we need is an Irish Car Bomb Night....but this time all the roomates should be around. No more of this half of the mafia planning car bombs in irish ways.
THE SCHOOL SHIT
This topic isnt very fun....school is school but I do know what I am going in to now. Theraputic Recreation. I've always wanted to do it but there is this other half that crazves the knowledge of the buisiness world and all it entails so I've been struggling with my actual calling and this for some time. However, its time to crack down and do what I was meant to do. I think I am going to go on too. To Occupational Therapy. They have a really good masters program at Grand Valley! How cool would it be to live in Grand Rapids....oh that would be awesome. I have to get my grades up but I think I am doing pretty good this semester so thats a start.
FINANCES AND MISC
I'm doing a little bit better this semester with money but I think I see too much of my money invest into my drinking habit....and really I dont think invest is the right word for that....but at least it might work for the memories I am making while pissing away my money. I still havent gotten my financial aid but hopefully I can get that soon and get my stuff taken care of.
FRIENDS AND PHI TAUS
I love my friends. Its really nice to have Mayberrry up here now too. I got to meet him when I lived in Lansing with my girls and now he is up here doing our education program. Super cool kid, except when I wake up half naked in his bed because I got up in the middle of the night and decided to take my clothes off all over his house in my sleep. Yeah, thats not "ligit". His roomates are real cool too. Corys a hell of a dancer and Randy his cousin, well, lets just say hes a good sport, at least when it comes to getting beat at street fighter by a girl. My girl Kim Sawchuk, well, I'm super happy for her, she is a tri sigma now and she just seems to be doing really well for herself. I have a feeling we wont be as close as we used to be anymore cause of all of her commitments and all of her new sisters but I think its cool. Friends are like footprints, right? Shes left her fair share and no matter how far we grow I know no matter what when we do hang out it will be like we never grew apart. Shes just one of those frinds. Love her! My phi taus!!! They are the bestestest ever. They have been doing a good job raising money for their philanthropy, getting involved with stuff around campus, and being hospitable to all those that come their way. I am proud to be able to represent such an awesome group of guys. They are softball champs for the second year in a row too!! Toph is a bad ass coach and the guys make a bad ass team. I missed Big Sean alot though:( Ok so I could go on for hours and hours about these guys so let me just do a quick summary.... Tuesday night after softball drinking, homecoming....drinking with alumni, eating pig, tailgating, parade at the house, and playing James Bond at 6 in the morning with Tom, Havener, and Juice....Oberon Friday which turned into a pain in the head, the date party with the deephers (love those crazy girls), Wheeton and Pat coming to the bird on Halloween, computer games with Tim and Double AA, goodfellaws with Kurt, King, LMFJ, and Juice, religious debate with Pat....supersperms and good call miller....what else do I have to say?
WEll I think that is all folks....I know Im forgetting alot, but goodnight to you all and to all a goodnight.
