| Old Journal 5-31-08 I woke up today and watched some tv. I went outside to finally get a work out in from my boxing bag. It was a nice work out an I really am glad I was able to get it. I was determined and motivated today. I called Annie and I wanted to put together her ping pong table thats been sitting down in her basement for like 5 months. I got there and it was in a billion pieces. The instructions were worthless. It just didn't make any sense. I was hoping to use this building activity as a building back you life type of thing. I guess I ended up quitting the project, due to missing pieces. I guess my life is missing a piece. Haha not sure where the symbolism stuff is coming from but I was in a really different mood today. With June coming up tomorrow its one of my most sensitive months. Me and Chris went tot h vfw tonight. Tornado sirens were going off. It was pretty dark skies north of us. I sucked at cards tonight. I just wanted to defend my title. I left and went to go meet someone for drinks in uptown. It was pretty fun. 5-30-08 My stomach was in a bit more pain today then it normally is. I decided to call and make an appointment for next week. Today I decided to just eat real healthy. I guess its time to shock my system with healthy plain boring food. I am not really a fan of doing that but I have no choice right now. After work today I went to Fridays to meet up with Emily Rad and Becky. After that I went to Biff's in blaine to play some pool with the gang. I was actually making some good shots for once. We then went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Mario had an announcement to make. Well Actually Danielle figure it out before any of us did. So we found out Mario and Liz are engaged now. It was pretty exciting, I think he said they wanted all of us in the wedding for next year. I am not sure what he meant. We went to Monte's just to try to attempt to sober up. Christine was driving me back to my car and I noticed my window was open. i totally freaked out, but I must have forgotten to roll it back up. Luckilly nothing got stolen. 5-29-08 For lunch today I had jimmy johns. I wanted something light and easy. I ate half of my sandwich. I tried to force the other half down I was looking forward to using my new work out toy. I guess I wont be able to since I have kickball tonight. Its been kinda gloomy all day, but we havn't seen any rain yet. I drove down to the park early. I didn't know if it was going to get cancelled or not. So I kept calling the weather line to just be extra safe. Being around this area kinda brings back memories. Every time I drive over the mississippi bridge it brings back memories to the glory years. We lost 5 to 1 tonight. It was cold and rainy, but I trained my team for these games. For some reason we just can't get it done. Even when the other team was short a person. We went to bullwinkles and we made a stop to the corner bar. It was pretty busy in there. Then we realized it was the bridge workers just hanging out in there. They look like a bunch of hicks with there camo hats and stuff. I seriously thought it was a hunting convention or something. 5-28-08 I was feeling pretty tired today. My sleeping habit is out of whack. Thats why I never take naps. It just messes me up. For lunch today I finally brought in some food from home. Me and Danielle went biking and I we went by Andy and Jenni's new house. I was checking it out. I was so hot, I was sweating by the time I got back to work. I went to Ol Mexico after work today. Then stopped by the house again to see the inside this time. I had to run home. Some bodys computer at home had a virus and I ha to clean it up. I went to kickball tonight. We are the best team and we just lost to the worst team. We lost 1 to 0. We had no offense to save our lives tonight. It was a bit frustrating. Me and Matt went to the Fort Snelling club to get some drinks. I couldn't tell if it was a vfw or a legion. Regardless we were both disappointed in the team. Hopefully next week is better and we can get another win. 5-27-08 I got up a bit earlier today so I could goto my DR's appointment. I was so out of date with how things work. I am so used to seeing the nurses use clipboards and sheets to answer questions. I was a bit confused when I saw them using laptops and tablet pc's. I thought it was kind of cool. They tested my blood and they tested my urine. The final diagnosis. They didn't know what was wrong with me. They said my blood was clean, thank goodness. I have been a whore as of late. j/k. I got back to work and I was so tired from just being up early. I found a boxing bag on craigslist today. It was $25 bucks. It was one of those stand alone ones. The type you poor water into the base. Anyways, I drove to North oaks to pick it up. This was probably the nicest townhome I have ever seen. I was just excited to have my new work out toy. I got home and I was so tired. I think the warm/cold weather has taken its toll on me. I will b taking things easy, since we are monitoring my tummy for now. 5-26-08 I slept in till about Noon today. It felt great to just e able to do that. I weighed my self today and I am down about another 3 lbs. Which is great. I love being able to lose weight. I went to the vfw for burgers for lunch. I went shopping after that. I was looking for some new jeans, but was unable to find any I liked. I then did more shopping at Target. I was looking for more useless things to buy. Ofcourse it aint useless, but I tend to just buy weird things. Once I got home. I took some more meds, this time around I wasn't feeling to well at all. Luckilly I have my appointment set for tomorrow. I am not sure what wrong with me. I have been doing a very good job of taking it easy. With things getting hectic in the next few weeks. I have alot going on as of late and its taking its toll on me. Its being hard living the single life and trying to stay home. I have managed to do it very well. I am quite proud of myself. You would be amazed how mush I have saved already. I guess priorities change and you grow up after awhile. 5-25-08 I really wanted to get on my bike today. I just didn't have time to get it done at all. I got more tv time in today. I also did some cleaning, which is always my favorite thing to do. There is sarcasm there. We went golfing today. Brightwood golf course to be exact. It was Lindsey, Dan, Mindy, Mary and Steve. I know this is like probably the 4th or 5th time golfing in my life. I sucked so bad today I was throwing my golf clubs all over the place. My driving game has improved today. My putting game which is usually my best game was totally a set back. It was nice and humid and hot out. Today was the first time it actually felt like summer. Afterwads I was meeting up with them for lunch. I went to Applebee's, and I was waiting for everyone to get there. They called me asking where I was. I said I am already here. I totally blanked out and forget we were going to Chili's instead. I felt so bad, my mind has really been floating away lately. I was feeling so out of it. I guess I was being kinda of in a cave lately. I decided to just goto the Blue Fox. I just wanted the night life tonight. 5-24-08 I spent most of the day cleaning. I did more resting and I was just getting bored sitting at home. I guess this is all part of living a normal life at home. Its been hard, but I am getting used to slowing it down. It has calmed me down as a persona nd I feel like I can be more socially active since I am not drained all the other nights. I ordered some pictures of my friends online from the past year. I took so many pictures. I figured why not get them printed out for good times sake. I went to the VFW to play cards tonight. I didn't have any plans, so I figured why not. My return was awesome. I got 1st place tonight and Marco and Lindsey finished 2nd and 3rd. We had a good final table and got rid of the rift raft. Well atleast the people we don't care so much about. There were alot of drunks there tonight. It was kinda cool. I looked outside and there were like a dozen low riders pulling into the Vfw. I guess there was a quinceanera party down stairs in the basement. 5-23-08 I knew today was going to be extra busy at work. With Nancy and Scott off for today. I was going to be over taking by work load. So I came in extra early today. I felt so weak today, I think the pain just makes me tired. For lunch we had chipotle. I ate as much as I could. I got home today and i was just super tired. I laid in bed and I was watching tv. Andy and Jenni biked over. We talked outside for a bit. We ended up going to Jimmys for two for ones. Once I got home, I was just trying to find something on tv. I was unable to find anything. So I was forced to go through some blockbuster movies and I was going through seasons of things. Eventually I fell asleep. I think the pills kicked in and out I went. 5-22-08 Today I knew was going to be busy at work. How much busy? Not really sure. I wanted to take a vacation in the next month or two. I need some thing to just get away. For lunch today since we were so busy, we just ordered pizza. We had the ultimate grill pizza from pizza hut. Chicken, steak and ham on a pizza. It was pretty good. Not sure if its one of those things I would order all the time. I went to pick up Cara and we made our way to the game. Tonight was one of our low points this season. We let 9 runs in the first inning. I think that deflated our sails. I think the final score was 2 to 14 or something like that. Thats with them freezing the score after they ten runned us. I was playing a bit tenative. I think my injury has really gotten inside my head. We went to Bull Winkles for drinks. They waitress is giving us $5.00 pitchers now. Its awesome. We strolled over to Grandmas, we heard it was the last night it was going to be open so we had a drink or two and maybe a shot just for good ol times and Jamie's bday outting ofcourse. We stumbled our way to the Corner bar for more shots and darts. It was alot of fun tonight. I am glad we are able to get Jamie out again. 5-21-08 I took Jamie out to The Loop today for her birthday. I don't get a chance to get out down there much, but when I do. I want to eat something real good. I think I had the best pizza in a very long time. It was just fun to talk about things to keep up to date. I used to see Jamie atleast 2 times a week like 5 years ago. Now its like once in a blue moon. Funny how peoples lives just change. I got ready for kickball today. I wasn't too sure what to expect from me. i told Lindsay to put me at the bottom of the kicking lineup. I just felt I would hurt the team if I was put higher up. We won 4 to 3. I saw one of the most ridicuolous calls in kickball history tonight. I was on 3rd base. With two outs. One of our girls was up and she kicked it down 3rd base. He threw the ball to first, but it hits our girl in the ankle. The ump calls her safe. I ran home. Confused and unaware of how a ball hitting her is safe. The ump said you can only throw between the shoulders and knees. I laughed and the other team was just pissed. I was like I don't know any kickball rules. Anyways we win. Thats all folks. 5-20-08 Today was all haywire for me. I have to just keep my head up and keep going. Sometimes I wonder if I have to worry about something just to keep things interesting. I received a phone call from and old friend today. Its always exciting, since it just lightens up your day. From what I can gather, one of my favorite singers cd came out Tuesday and I was so lazy I didn't even bother to pick it up. Is it the fact that I know it will be there tomorrow. Probably, but for now I have other things to take care of. Its just been super busy for me at work. I am shutting down mentally. Plus physically, my stomach is still feeling pain towards my lower left area. I got home today and I tried to work out, but it hurt when tried to jog. I was looking up stuff on web md, but I got no where. I tried to get some rest tonight. I am glad I was able to stay in. 5-19-08 I think if I tried running something in my stomach would rupture. Well thats the feeling I have this morning. I listened to kdwb this morning and some times I like listening to the radio and sometimes I just zone out. I guess I do have multiple personalities sometimes. With my moods and stuff. You never know which Tony your going to get. I had lunch with Andy at Chili's today. I havn't ate there in a very long time. The bartender/waitress girl was cute. Her name was Megan. Thats two megans in a row while I am eating out. Hmm, maybe the next time I eat out I will get another Megan. Maybe I am in the Megan faze right now. I have no clue. I had happy hour with Mario at the vfw. We had burgers. We havn't done that in a very long time. Almost a year I would say. I stayed home tonight. I was just tired and out of it. I havn't fully recovered yet. Right now I am just trying to get my breath back. I feel so exhausted. I guess I have all week to recover before the big run. 5-18-08 The pain in my stomach still lingers and it sucks. I am so afraid to eat anything right now. I am starting to not trust any bodys cooking when i eat food. i guess thats a good thing since I am supposed to be not eating out anyways. Today I got up early and I went to the driving range to whack a few balls. I did pretty good, atleast good enough to think I will do good in the tournament. I met up with everyone at the vfw and it we were of to the course. I thought I did pretty good today. I didn't whiff or have too many bad balls. I only lost two balls into the water. Which I think is good for me. We tied for 2nd to last place. I think there was a 4 way tie. We got back to the vfw and had our steak dinner. I couldn't stay to long because I had to drive to Andover and play volleyball at POV's. We won 2 to 1. We blew them out the first two games. I think the last game we let them win out of pitty. They were so bad. I was starting to bleed on my wrist. Oh well it was fun, we played the bean bag game there and I ran into Chris Farmer which is always a nice sight to see. 5-17-08 I woke up and made lunch today. About thirty minutes later I had such a bad stomach pain that I couldn't really move. It felt like the time I had food poisoning where the pain was just awful. I had no choice but to get to my bed and try to just curl into a ball. I fell asleep and woke up 3 hours later. The pain was kinda away, but I felt the lingering affects. I didn't feel like eating or drinking at all. I went to the Roller Derby and it was pretty good. I wish there would be more heavy hitting, but it was enough to get my moneys worth. Strolling back to my car, I realized how much I miss working down town. Even though, some of those times sucked. Later on that night I made my way to the Mike and Heidi's, for Lindseys birthday. I wasn't drinking at all. I had a bottle of Boones farm in the car just for fun. I decided to leave it there. I had some food just to try it out. It felt ok for now. I hope I feel better soon. 5-16-08 I was more interested in getting through the day. With my temper tantrums as of late. I needed to get to the weekend. I havn't been feeling so well lately. My stomach has just been hurting a bit. For lunch today we had Davanni's. It was ok, I just wanted to get out of the office today. It was just wonderful out. In the past 3 weeks I have gained some extra lbs. I was doing so good, but I let loose some how. Now I need to work on getting it off again. Its going to be extra hard this summer with all the sports. I went to Pearl Vision today. Today was the first time I would ever learn to get contacts in my eyes. It only took me about 30 minutes per eye. After that i drove to meet up wtih Mario and his g/f since I was going to be in the area. I drove to Valley View to get the Roller Derby tickets from Nicole. I was driving home and I got a text from jen to meet up at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was so tired and not really feeling to well. 5-15-08 During work today, me and Nancy had to goto St Kates to pick up a few switches. It was so weird when we got lost. We went into the library and its so weird. The girls just stared at me. Then I realized it was an all girls school. Too bad they weren't hot at all. I met up with Lawrence at Gabes for happy hour action after work. Went to watch the beginning for the puff n stuff game vs Undies game. I guess Puffy was able to pull through. Tonight at our kickball game we got of to an awesome start. We were up 4 to 0. But the other team came raging back. Chad hit our first home run of the year. The final score was 5 to 8. They were just to much for us to handle. We went to Bullwinkles and it was lots of fun. My favorite part about kickball games is just the fact we go out and BS. This is what I love most and enjoy it. Makes me remember why we do this. Me, Dan and Mike went to the Corner bar for more shots. I guess we can't seem to get enough of it. I talked to Heather for a bit. Sounds like things are going good. 5-14-08 I was driving to work today and I noticed that there was a car pulled over. I was going to pull over and help, but then I noticed they had a cell phone call going on and I decided not too. I guess I was feeling like I was in a very helpful mood today. I was pretty grouchy this morning. I was ready to blow and I felt like I was going to be on a mean streak all day. i was getting pissed off about little things. After lunch I cooled down. I was to my regular self after I got some food. I was eating my chicken almond sandwich and I was unable to eat all of it. Nancy gave me a pill to make me feel full. It worked for a few minutes but I got hungry again. I went to Fridays to get a few drinks in. After that I made my way to kickball. I didn't know what to expect for tonight. We won 6 to 5. Our defense really held strong, but there was a few minor set backs. Other then that we did a good job of scoring and playing defense when we needed it. I made my way to the 5/8 club and had a few drinks with Matt and Keith. I then made my way to the vfw for one drink and I called it a night after that. 5-13-08 I might seem a little crabby lately when I wake up in the morning. Not sure why I am so angry. I think I am just bottling up and its starting to pop. So if I seem tense thats why. I went to Pearl Vision today to get my eyes checked. My eyes got worse, but my intentions were to finally get contacts. Its more of a cosmetic issue. I am going to get color contacts and for me to get them I had to have another eye exam. I guess it was ok, I havnt had one in two years. I got home today and made dinner, its been awhile since I tried something new. I did some light exercising. With my back hurting so much I am not as able to move around the way I want to. Its a quiet night tonight and I am glad I stayed in. I guess I won't get to relax like this much. So this is good for me while I rebound from my wounds. 5-12-08 I have been so tired, that my mind has been wandering so much lately. It was a nice day today. I was just trying to keep up. Work has been a bit busy as of late. For lunch today we went to eat at Ol Mexico for the buffet. Well I rather eat the buffet cause it was more appealing then there menu. I left work and went to Cub to grab some food. I wanted to buy some chicken breasts and beef for some future cooking events. I havnt really cooked in awhile and I have been a bit stressed lately. I think I need to relax and do that. I have been looking into trips lately. Things are going to pick up. I want to shed some extra weight before I go anywhere. Maybe that can be motivation for me. To just lose about 10 lbs and then take a trip somewhere and probably gain it all back. I dunno, my mood has been out of whack. Its been hard to sleep. Atleast I am some what eating healthier. 5-11-08 I was not feeling so well this morning. I got home and I just went back to bed again. Well I tried to get to bed but I basically just laid there. I knew today was going to be a bit action packed. I went to the mall to get nancy a bday gift for Monday. I then walked around the mall trying to find my 3 year old nephew something for his bday today also. It was mothers day today so we went to my brothers house and they had a joint family mothers day thing. We got lots of crab legs. About over 30 lbs of it. Thats mathematically about $150 worth. I was so full. I think I was getting ready to puke. I went to Champlin and we had volleyball practice. Next Sunday we are going to start our volleyball season. So we needed all the practice we could get. I think we will be ready, we looked sloppy but I am sure we will be perfectly ready. I got home and I basically watched some NBA playoff action. With my mind wandering lately. Its a good thing to just stay in tonight and take it easy. 5-10-08 I was supposed to get to TIES early enough so we could decorate Nancy's desk. I got there a bit late. I have a sleep issue as of late. I went to the mall to get some stuff done. I met up with Mike and Heidi for lunch today at Big Bowl. Oh how much I love this place. Ok lots of sarcasm there. My food was ok though, it was good enough for me to be happy. We went to go see "Iron Man" after that. I was kind of excited to see it and I had no expectations since I don't remember the cartoon when I was little. I got home to relax a bit more, I eventually made it to Fridays for dinner tonight. I met up for Brynn's birthday at Billys on grand ave. I was so drunk. It was fun though. I talked to Matt for a bit. I also talked to some random girl named Nikki for awhile. She was interesting. I remember it was like 3 of the girls bdays in that week. We went to Annie's house and I stayed the night there. I knew I had too much to drink to be able to get home. 5-09-08 With all the craziness of yesterday I was so tired today. I was just super busy all day today. For lunch today we went to go eat at Old chicago. I am just not a big fan of eating there food. It just doesnt taste good to me at all. After work today I went to go see "what happens in vegas" It was pretty good. I was not expecting much out of it to tell you the truth. I went to cheapo to try to find some music. I have been very addicted with cheapo lately. I was so tired tonight I decided to just got home and stay in tonight. I watched a few movies and it was nice to just be able to relax tonight. I had stuff on my mind and I had a good chance to balance my money and figure things out. I figured with both bday events tomorrow I should just take it easy tonight and see what happens tomorrow. 5-08-08 I forgot my shorts at home, so I decided to just drive home for lunch today. I grabbed taco bell on the way back. I was just in a confident mood all day. I knew things were just going to work out tonight. I went to the VFW after work and had dinner there. Mike and Heidi were there. I played buck hunter. I now have the high score and most perfect sites. Now I can brag for ever there and see my initials "HBK" up there every time I go there. I went to the game tonight. The other team looked intimidating to us. I ran the bases hard tonight. I gambled a few times and it paid off and basically we just worked a team that was not paying much base attention. Our girls stepped up this week and we had our power kicker back. I was happy with our 6 to 4 win, but I was still not happy with some defensive mistakes. Afterwards we went tot he Corner bar and had a few drinks. I made my way to Fridays for a bit and eventually called it a night. 5-07-08 that snooze button was hit like 3 times this morning. I had a hard time getting out of bed. For lunch we went to the park and hit some balls on the field. We were working on our defense today. It was pretty tough trying to catch that ball when the sun is at its peak. I really didn't know what to expect for tonight. I had alot of time to waste and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I ended up going to Grumpys for a quick one. I just needed a different place to go. I went tot he VFW to play some cards tonight. I wasn't really trying again. It kinda sucked that I had to play such a late game tonight for kickball. We won tonight. 2 to 1 I believe the score was. For some reason we always seem to win the close games. Either way its a win and it was fun. It was getting a bit cold tonight. I need to start wearing pants. I dunno, its May it should b warm right? 5-06-08 I was not as tired as yesterday. I really wanted to enjoy the weather outside though. Danielle, Mario and I went to the driving range at Island lake. I was struggling a bit, but I finally hit a nice groove. With all the hard core guys around me swinging and hitting the golf bar far. i tried using all my strength. When I do that though I was either missing it or shanked it pretty good. I went to Fridays for dinner, It was nice getting everything paid for me. I guess I like getting treated every now and then too. I don't know why, but I was very appreciative. We went to the mall to do some shopping. I got to pick out outfits for her to try on. We went to the VFW for a few drinks. I was tired and got home early. I watched Juno for the first time. It was an alright movie. Just a random boyish girl who deals with pregnancy, with a MN twist. Its kinda funny hearing mankato, stillwater and st cloud in a movie these days. I have been dieting pretty well lately. I just gotta keep it up. 5-05-08 I had a hard time sleeping last night. I kept waking up every hour. So I said screw it and I got up at 5am. I made it to work by 6:30am this morning. Lately I feel like I have had nothing to talk about. I think its the fact that I am just lame. Nah, i think its more of the fact I have been trying to slow my life down a bit. For lunch today I had carrots and broccoli and some nasty dip. I don't know why I grab lunch from Cub Foods, but I was in a healthy eating mood today. I drove to the park on my lunch, there were people on the courts so I just stayed away from them. I got home and just relaxed. I was so tired. I eventually made it out to TGIF. Becky, Steve and Annie were out too. I just wanted to get a quick bite to eat. I had so many free appetizers that I used up about two of them today. Thats when you know you go there too much. I went to the VFW where everyone else was. Patron, patron, and more patron.. I was starting to feel it a bit. Its the only day Scott really gets hammed on purpose. 5-04-08 I spent most of today trying to be outside for the most part. It was just wonderful weather out. I had lunch with Joe and Green Mill. Well we had the brunch. Good thing Aaron works there. He hooked us up. I went and shot some hoops tried to get my stamina back up. I went for a short bike ride also. I was so tired when I got home I just laid down and watched some nba basketball. I was slowly falling alseep. I was trying to fight it off. I knew if I took a nap, I would not be able to sleep tonight. I went to The Stadium for Jenni's bday gathering. it was fun. I think I had more then a few vodka red bulls. We ended up going to burger king for some reason. Not exactly sure why. Either way I needed food and thats all I have to say about that. I got home and I was so tired. I made sure to turn on my alarm for tomorrow. I have alot going through my head these days. Its nothing major, but I think the change in weather is starting to affect me. 5-03-08 I slept in today. It felt great. Waking up around noon, with out any alarm to wake you up. I shot some hoops at a local park today. I was trying to re work my jump shot. I am basically redoing whole shot. From the way I release the ball to my jump. I got alot of work to do. I was doing some light reading online. I was trying to figure out ways to eat healthier. I ended up going out to dinner with an old friend today. After that I went to get drinks. I was just in a weird mood all night. I ran into Paula, and old friend from our soccer and kickball days. We stayed at the bar and talked for awhile. She was a bit surprised that i was still single. I didn't know what to tell her. It was nice to talk about it though. She gave me some good insight on things and I figured out some things. It was a fun night overall though. Its not like I am out to closing time anymore. So I was pretty tired and it felt great to just get home and go right to bed, 5-02-08 I really wanted to just get through the day as soon as possible. I have been very tired as of late. I think the extra nights of sports is harder for me to get used too. The weather was crappy all day. Rain, and more rain. Its not really to depressing for me. It just recharges me and it give me time to think. Think of it as being something symbolic. I got home tonight and I was just watching movies. I had to catch up on LOST. Since I have kickball on Thursday nights I am unable to watch it now. I also watched Good luck chuck. I was told i am basically Chuck. So basically very girl he screwed ended up getting married. Well in my case any girl I liked is finding that special someone. i got the itch to go out later tonight. I had a few drinks and then just called it a night. I needed some fresh rainy air to relax me some more. I could only do laundry for so long. I am happy it is the weekend though. I can't wait for that stimulious package to kick in. Hopefully next week. 5-01-08 The weather seemed a bit cloudy all day. I was in a pretty quiet mood today. I was focused on alot of different tidbits. I dragged Danielle to goto Target with me today. I was bored and I needed to walk around. After work today I had to go home to get my shorts for tonight. I forgot them at home. I was excited to see my other Blockbuster movie come in the mail. Everyone has been talking about "Juno" lately. So thats why I want to see it so bad. Tonight for kickball we got a 3 to 3 tie. It was my fault we tied. I tried to put two girls in right field and right center. They took advantage of it in one inning and that cost us the win. I was so mad at my self for even trying that. We went to the Corner bar for some drinks. I was feeling so full. I ate nachos and once Dave and Mary came. I had to eat some pizza too. It was a fun night out. I just wish we could have gotten the win. We were far better then that team. |
