HEYYYY

weirdddd that i live here
a nice little shot i took from the top of the arena... really terrifying that if i dropped my camera, theres a good chance itd fall out on the ice during the game
a nice crowd shot of a sellout crowd vs cinci... a little different than the hounds days of 100 people
a little hockey action

and here are some other random pics of stuff

hey hey everyone. soooo its been about 6 months that I have been out here, didnt think i'd last this long.. but ive been enjoying myself more and more. just like disney, i hated it at first, and then was sad to leave. soooo the season ended up going rather well, we finished the regular season with the best record in the league... we beat stockton in the first round of the playoffs.... then ended up beating alaska in 5 games. next came utah, which i went and it was a blast. mormon ladies are rather attractive. then onto the league championship... in which we lost to cincinnati. but i went to there, and it was a really good time as well... a win would have been much better tho. so now its the off season here, with not too much to really do, except wait until october for the season to start up again. its like 110 degrees here, and really not that comfortable. i moved out of the last apartment and am now in a house with a few guys... and its great. except right now the a/c is broken. i took some pics of the new place, since i did that at the last one too. im doing what i can to have some money saved up to get a flight on home for a weeklong vacation the bourb. whenever i do that i will be sure to post the days ill be home. meet up with everyone and chat about all the interesting stories that i wont really post on this thing. so there are some pics. everyone enjoy and i wish everyone the best on the 4th of july.

heyyyyyyyy you guys

so lets see.... as of the last post march 19th, life was rather swell. and now it for sure has gotten even better. i said later work for a few days, where i headed on down to good ol eastern illinois. had a pretty hot date wednesday where we watched walk the line.... who needs top model. needless to say, that was fun. thursday again was fun as we watched house of 1000 corpses. what a sweet date movie that is. lots of guitar hero was played in the afternoon of friday.... and then on to the western party. lot of good music, lot of guns being fired.... typical party. after the party i had a fun evening... not the best saturday morning as waking up and then driving backkkkkk to work to a game kinda sucked. the game ended up being busssssssssy. then came home after to work my magic and after a lot of pleading.... got myself a girlfriend. yeah shes pretty cool. and today i finished up my online class for goood.... so no more classes til maybe grad school. no more homework... ohhhh its great. and so there will be 5 games the next 10 days which is going to suckkkkkk.... but after the game next friday, im excited. and then onto a great and maybe nervewrecking weekend. but anywho... stuff is rather splendid. hope the same for you 3 that i know read this.

im back from florida!

hey adam. im updating again for you since i have some free time here.

to anyone else who reads this, ill give a little update since my last post. well the drive back from florida was pretty depressing leaving all that fun stuff to head to illinois. but it was good to roll into town at like 5 in the morning, and then head over to hang with matt and kyle at the garage sale. im pretty sure i got hurt right when i got back from falling from a tree. School started up, and it was quite the semester. the new apartment is pretty sweet as its in the woods right across from the ladies. a relatively easy semester with classes, swimming was the worst class as it sucked being all cold and jumping into the pool. I had a little rough time in september when i was running from chris and tripped in a ditch and rolled my ankle pretty bad. i was on crutches for a solid 2 days. after that came halloween time where i was dressed as a ceiling fan, and happy birthday to adam then. Thanksgiving break time came and that was a good time. Kyles party was a good kickoff as we danced to boyz 2 men throughout the night. then we had a sweet snow storm there when we awoke, and it looked like sledding was in the plans, but nope, 0 snow back home. i dont really think anything too crazy happened over thanksgiving break. then came the final haul of the semester. finals seemed to go good except the last night before heading home for break i figured out i needed to take an online class in order to graduate in may.... so that was stressful there for a bit. im pretty sure everyone knew how pissed i was. needless to say, i went to the bar almost every night over christmas break. i had a sweet christmas and then new years was a good time as we all met some babenasties out at the bar. so come early january it was time for me to head up north and start the working world when everyone else headed back down to school. it turned out that working for a pro hockey team was rather easy, and i headed down to eiu to visit everyone for my big 22nd bday. then back to work where i dont really do much.... the first few weeks, i browsed pretty much every website out there. not too much really happened the rest of january i dont think. that was the time when i met a good friend named bel, whom is heading to late night right now. february went off without a hitch i think, the month so flew by. just working and visiting. nothing really exciting happens at my time up north here. its kinda boring, im ready for the season to end so i can be back in bourbonnais and wont have to work as much, and will have a bunch of free time to hang, since it seems like what used to be the ol gang will all be in town. and a sweet vacation to disneyworld would be fantastic, as i miss the fun of that place. and a visit to cali to see fork would be definitely fun too. march again is flying by as eiu just had their spring break, where i ended up getting to see quite a few people. and very soon ill be down at eastern which hopefully will be a good time. since i havent gotten to go to country night in a long long long time, this western party will need to be good. maybe patricia and andrew will give some peer pressure into going wednesday night, but i dont even know if they go anymore. so im thinking about summer once again, and i should make a to do list about it. im already set on the job thing, so i dont have to worry bout that for once. im wanting to take a road trip, maybe not reallly far, but at least to another state. then somewhere to the beach. definitely at least one dunes trip since there were none for me last summer. hmmm what else. attend at least........2 baseball games. and ill say at least 2 concerts. some bonfires quite possibly. a trip to six flags is needed. i wont miss out on going bear hunting either this year, i was gone the entire time that they were in town last year. some late night bike rides are a must. and the most important is having a kickass grad party. and lets see if i can go a summer without getting hurt at all too, but i wont vagina out on something to make that happen. so if you have any summer suggestions let me know. so thinking how soon summer will be, pretty much when the season is over aka april 7th, unless we make the playoffs.... im pretty happy with life, as i cant really think of much to complain about.
so adam you take care, and have a good one. xoxo

and apparently you read it to kyle. so sup dude. how are things?

mmmmlater

well guys... tis tuesday... im done at the kingdom.... stuff is turned in.... im about to go pack all of this up after i go down the slide one last time here. the brother gets here in like 4 or 5 hours. then soon enough home to illinois. so i will be seeing you all friday. buh bye florida.

pretty much... later florida

so guys... this may be the last post before i head out of this joint... as it is wednesday night and i work til monday, then comes josh to come and kidnap me outta here. today and yesterday were my last official days off, and i pretty much made them productive... yesterday me and justin went to the pool and went down the slide a few times then were like... ehhh you want to just go to the beach? so we packed up our crap and hit the road to cocoa beach for the day. my last stop at the ocean til who knows when... hopefully not too long. then stopped at the ronnyjonnys there and then came on back into town... for a night filled with nothing really, that kinda tired us out. then today me and mississippi went to the pool for a while, checkin out the babes... or lack there of today. and so then i went and got that oil changed, which ive been sayin id do for a good month now. me and mississippi went and browsed the gift shops to figure out some fantastic things to get some friends... i dont really know who wants/ is expecting anything, so you might want to let me know if your one to be pissed off at me for being in florida for a summer and not getting you anything. and you may want to call or something cuz i dont know if ill be checking this til im illinois bound. and yeah cancel that, im sure ill check this while at the kingdom sometime. deleting probably would have made more sense, but oh well. yeah so later once again.

party on the 11th ? ? ? oh yes

so close

last night was in fact the format show, and needless to say, the format was amazing. they opened up with my favorite song aka dog problems... mixed up new stuff with some old stuff, and ended with tie the rope. they said that they felt orlando was going to be the best show of the tour... so come midaugust when i see them in chi-town, we will see if they say the same thing. and then after the show i headed over to pleasure island for the first time in at least a month, and yeah after like 5 minutes realized i hadnt missed much. before the format show there was some red carpet thing at the movie theater for some band like B 5 i hadnt heard of them but they must be somewhat famous since everyone was going nuts when they arrived.

but yes tis good to know that i will be hitting the home area in 2 weeks. i only have like 10 more days of work at the magic kingdom.... then when asked how many times ive been to disneyworld, i can say at least 50 and blow peoples minds. these last 2 weeks of work, i will be sure to slack an even more amount than normal, find anyway to leave my mark at this place, and try and sneak in my video camera and do some filmin of all the secret stuff... maybe get some money for that stuff.
though all of my bitching about hating it here tho, i am glad i did come. i got to be in florida for an entire summer, i stay at a resort, where i go to work at a place that has a huge castle, and people in costumes everywhere. theres been plenty of people i hate, but then quite a few that have made it fun. and yeah a week and a half and i have the disney graduation where i get to celebrate with mickey and goofy who will be in caps and gowns, and then later that day the bro will be getting here where we will have ourselves a good time... then on back where i will hopefully be seein everyone before school happens. and then seeing everyone during school and all that jazz. and now kyle even has a pool, so we will have a week of that... thats right, i invited myself. and so yeah i believe thats it. so peace out. pfff
