Doomed Alarm!

Not so smooth transition time!  Google Plus, have you tried it yet?  What are you guys feeling so far?  I personaly love it. It actually feels like a true social networking site to me.  It’s not just a collection of “friends” like Facebook or MySpace always seemed to be.  I’ve had a few conversations with some pretty amazing people since moving over to Google+.  Two or three photographers, a few programmers (web and other), I’ve even had a hangout with some verified Google employees now!  How could this NOT be cool?

If you haven’t tried yet because you are stuck without an invite feel free to use my invite link below and join in on the fun.  Let me know if you find anything cool that I may have missed or if you set up your circles in a super handy way that lets sharing easier for you.

Also, sorry the site is being super slow right now.  Working with the host to figure out why it fails so hard.

Anyway, fun was had and that’s all that matters in the end anyway.  Now to sit back, watch some TV and play a bit of Xaos.

I guess I could get my taxes done…. crap… they are due in only a day or so..

I fell behind on my goal of one book a month for reading.  Basically I got too lazy to go to the library to pick up new books. My mom actually let me borrow some books by Karin Slaughter which look like they will be pretty decent.  Only problem is I’m missing the first book of the series.  Maybe today I’ll go to the library and actually check the first book out.

I’ve also started playing Xaos again now that it’s back.  This game is really addictive for me and I’m not quite sure why.  It’s just a text based game and I do a whole lot of nothing on it but it keeps me highly entertained and I guess we can’t ask for much more than being fully entertained by the games we play.

Guess I should also do my taxes…

• I now have a new position at work, kinda a promotion but no raise so more of a lateral “hey, better for you” type of promotion.
• I am reading at least one book a month as my new year’s resolution.  What’s your resolution, do you have one?  Has it been successful so far?
• I am really wanting to play some Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood but just don’t have it.

That about wraps it up….

P.S. This is the first time I got to fully carve a pumpkin on my own!

You guessed it! I’m going to be in the Knoxville Race for the Cure! It’s only a week away! I just received my shirt today so I’m all ready to go. Mom and Sarah asked me to join them this year so it should be an interesting time. Not looking forward to waking up early but it’s for a good cause so I can’t really complain.

If you are interested in helping out you can join me at World Fair Park on the 30th or if you can’t make it you can also help by donating.

I had a lovely vacation in Florida with my girlfriend and her super fun family for the 4th of July.  I’m sure it is safe to say that we all had a great time and wish it could have lasted much longer than the week it did.  All eight of us stayed with her Uncle Charlie who lives in Lauderdale by the Sea.  So you can imagine the fun times that must have happened with almost ten people living together for a full week.

Day 1:
We went to the town parade on the 4th which was pretty amusing, especially since Charlie and Melissa were actually in the parade supporting a political candidate.  We also went to the beach for a bit of relaxation and sun.

Day2:
We went headed to Orlando so we could get an early start on Day 3.  I had the pleasure of riding with one of the coolest kids ever, Kat’s oldest nephew, on the way to Orlando.  This means of course that I got to play games the entire ride up which is a big win in my books.  Once we got to Orlando we stayed in a great hotel with a super cool pool.  We stayed in the pool for the rest of the day going in and out of the waterfall and sliding down the slide even with a friendly game of tag. Kat, Melissa, and I had a craving for some ice cream at night and snuck away for some Ghirardelli time, shhhh… don’t tell anyone!

Day 3:
We all excitedly woke up for a day at Universal Studios Island of Adventure!  For those that haven’t been before you get to do all kinds of fun things like: meet superheros, play in Seuss land, ride crazy rides, get soak on some of the rides(Sorry Angela), watch a show, explore the world of Harry Potter (complete with a cold glass of butter beer and tour of Hogwarts) and much more!  Only sad thing about this day was the lack of 1 ride that required a child and our child didn’t want to ride with us…

Day 4:
I honestly don’t recall this day that much…  I think this was a resting day where we played at the beach.

Day 5:
We went on an air boat ride and got to seem some alligators!  It was a pretty sweet ride, and we got to see other animals in a zoo like environment once we were done with the tour.

Day 6:
Also a resting day? We did a water balloon toss two days somewhere between day 4 and now.

Day 7:
This is the day that Kat left We went to a casino at Kat’s request.  It was pretty fun and I think everyone came out with some money.

Day 8:
This is the day I drove back home.  A very long sad drive.
