The greatest thing ever invented. I now know what I need to do with my life. Champion Faceballer!

Dudes, I should really be asleep. But I'm, not even close. I am wide awake and dancing around the internet doing nothing. Updated photos on myspace and reading about movies that I will probably never see. Well, scratch that, I will see them just not for a very long time. Tuesday is my favorite day of the week these days. Marieta and I are taking a Spanish class. I am not sure if I am retaining anything but I feel pretty solid while in the class. It helps me remember my French. Plus, I get to learn some cool slang. like Que gran cagada. Your homework is to figure out exactly what it means. Were in the class because Marieta needs to learn Spanish for her job. Half of her patients speak Spanish as a first, or only language. I have to take the class because I need to know what Latin spies are saying behind my back... damn Federales... If I'm ever in another band I want it to be something along the lines of The Federales. My new job is pretty rock n roll. Last week I was sitting wi

It is a pretty widely held belief between both my family and my friends that one day Marieta and I will move back to the Midwest, most likely Iowa. Why? Well I was born in Chicago, have lived most my life in Iowa, and Marieta has close to her entire family an hour outside of Des Moines. I understand that "need" to be close to your family. It's part of the reason I like living in California. I haven't lived with 6 hours of my parents in 7 years, let alone the same state ( I won't get into the ridiculousness of SoCal and NoCal being one giant state). So is this idea true? Yes, Marieta and I both agree at some point we will be living in the breadbasket. Now the question is when? I heard last year when I lived in Chicago that Des Moines is getting a NBDL team, The Iowa Energy , which does kind of excite me, is the DL offspring of the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. I would have season tickets if I lived there. Now when I originally heard of this team I said "W

What if I say I will never surrender? yeah! How do you like them apples. I really dig this new Foo's single. I'm not daft or anything. I mean it's not anything new really. It's loud, quiet, loud, quiet, loud, loud. That's Dave Grohl writing style. It hasn't gotten old with me yet. I mean the songs that rock, they rock my toe nails off. Beanbag made sure to let me know he already has their album. If you know anything about me know that I hate get albums before their actual release date. I love the feeling of buying an album, ripping off the plastic and rockin it in my 'rolla on the drive home. Last Thursday I started my new job @ KPIX CBS 5 . I feel like a weight is slowly being lifted off my shoulders. I am finally on path to starting a career in the broadcast field. KPIX is great. I may only be pulling tapes, running, prompter and minor editing work right now but I don't care. There is a lot to learn and everyone I have talked with there seems willing t

T-minus two days till I start my new job, and let me tell you this past week of waiting has been painfully slow. I have nothing truly against Hertz. They got me to California, they have been providing me a source of income for barely over a year, but man, this weighs you down sometimes. In other news, the Bears lost. Well I can rationalize they owned that game until the end of the third quarter and even then it took a trick play and injuries to let the Chargers win so that's okay. Now the injuries, that brings tears to my eyes. Mike Brown is out. If Urlacher is the man than Brown is his shadow, every thing he is just without the recognition. That and the rookie who went out are gonna really, REALLY, hurt our Super Bowl hopes. In other NFL news I watched the Niners game last night and man did they get lucky. Stupid Cardinals should have swatted that fumble out of the in zone and they would have won with a touchback. I'll keep you posted with KPIX updates.

I would talk more but I am really tired. Enjoy this woman, rocking the guitar outside of the cheese board collective in Berkeley.

Next week I start a new job at KPIX cbs5 San Francisco. That's right I will once again be working in the downtown of my city (see Hertz @ Union Station, Chicago, IL). I don't start till next week, but that gives me a week to enjoy the feeling of- what the hell am I talking about! I want to start today. This what I want to do with my life! Work in television production. Oh yeah, my position is Production Assitant. There is a whole crew of us and our responsibilities range from tape running, teleprompter controlling, occassionally copy writing, and video editing. Is that awesome? I do believe so and I don't want to wait. Mainly because waiting means working full days at Hertz for another week. but whatever. Okay. So I'll talk more in my real blog. Check it out

I am really jumping the gun on this post. Why? I can't tell you. Why did I even bother to post at all? Well its late, I'm bored, and anxious for this week. Yes, I know you haven't heard from me in a while. If you want to know whats up here: That's right, I got my plates. I waited until the ding of the bell. It almost came down to a decision and I don't think I had the points to retain the belt. Should I go to sleep? yes.
