Concert and working out

Well, the first wednesday after classes certainly was intersting.


I told my friend Matt, that I was going to workout Wednesday morning on Tuesday night. Well, since for some unknown reason I didn't wake up until almost noon, I didn't workout in the morning. I lounged around the house until it was time to go to the concert up at Viejas.

Gary Allen (Country) was performing and since it was in the outlet center up there, I went up alittle earlier than I needed to for the concert since I needed another pair of shoes for the trip. So since there is a Nike outlet store there, I went shopping for a pair of shoes. Tell me if I got a good deal or not, the shoes that I bought sell in the stores regularly for $75, but at the outlet store I got them for $35. I thought it was a good buy so I got it. Mom was with me, and she wanted to see if there were any other shoe stores in the center. Reebook has a store so we went over and she looked at shoes, while I looked at everything else. I found a jersey from the Golden State Warriors that was on sale for like $26. I'm not normally a big fan of the Warriors and probably won't have gotten the jersey, but when the name on the back matches my name, I got it.



We then went to the concert after dropping the bags off at the car. Even though security said no pictures, here is one anyway. The way I look at it is since they had a professional taking pictures that will end up on the web, why can't I?

Got home from the concert and went and worked out for about two hours. I have good news, I'm down to 269.5 pounds :) only 19.5 more pounds to lose before school starts again in August. On the workout front, I'm up to 300 crunches.....not bad for a guy who really couldn't do more than 50 a month ago.

Welcome to summer!!!!!!!!

Last week was pretty quiet from me for the simple reason that it was FINALS WEEK. I technically as of this posting still have one more final period remaining, but since I took the final the final week of classes, I don't really need to get into the classroom this evening.

Obviously it has been summer for a week (unofically) on the calendar. The real start is coming up in a couple of weeks here, but I have my first sunburn of the season. After spending most of Saturday at the beach for a birthday party. This was the longest that I had been at a beach for three years. I had a good time and the look on teh birthday boys face was priceless when the surprise guest.

On Sunday, I spent the day at home and either watched on tv or on the Internet coverage of the NCAA baseball championships. I am keeping an even more intent eye on the championships this year since I will be at the World Series championships.

So now it is full speed to the big trip later this month. In case you have been living under a rock, or I just haven't mentioned it to you. I am going with my parol officers to Des Moines, Iowa (where my dad grew up for three years), then over to Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series - Championship game #1. After I watch some great college baseball, the family will be making the 6 hour drive south to Wichita, Kansas with a stop in Abilene, Kansas to checkout for my dad the Greyhound (dogs, not the bus company) Hall of Fame.

been a week

It's been a week since I have bog'd, but since I'm smack dab in the middle of finals, it is going to be another couple of days before I release a full fledged blog.

My final final is on Monday, if I haven't blog'd by then, I will do a blog while in the final. Since I've already taken the final, I will be able to just blog while everyone else is taking the final.

pitcures that I promissed

Well it is not "later today" but here are the pictures from the storm. The first is a shot of the driveway leading out of the apartment complex. The second (Vertical) pciture is a shot of how the hail looks like snow from a winter snow storm. And the final one is a wider shot of the same roof.

Talk about a full bag

WOW, what a weather day in Southern California!!!! Contrary to what Albert Hammond sang in the 1970’s it does rain in Southern California. There was hail, snow, thunder and lightning, and even a tornado touched down. All of this cold weather activity just a couple days of it being over 100 degrees. I was scheduled to be in attendance at the Lake Elsinore Storm game as they hosted the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Well, with all the crazy weather in So Cal the game was rained out and the Storm/Quakes will play a double header on Saturday to make up for the game. Meanwhile, 14 Miles to the Northeast, there was a very crazy storm going on. Lightning (which to those who know me well, know I HATE!) and thunder was going on. Then came hail, and more hail, and more, and more. I will post a picture later today so that you can understand what kind of storm I’m talking about. Once we left my friend’s apartment complex it felt like I was back in Denver driving in snow, just not as cold. So even though I along with everyone in the party that I was in had called the Storm’s front office to find out if the game had been rained out or not, and we were told the umpires would make the decision at 7:00. Well, we got to the stadium around 6:40 and cars were already leaving the facility. So our party went down the road to the IHOP in Murrieta and had dinner. We enjoyed dinner and then went back to the apartment. Once leaving the apartment, my friend that works in the Quakes front office (who had gotten us tickets to the game) called me after his radio program and he told me that there was a tornado just 7 miles from the apartment complex. I’m glad I found this out AFTER it had happened. Had I have known about it while it was happening, I’d be totally freaked out.

As far as other things, the English instructor did not change my grade on my beloved term paper. She did give me a print out of my grades and she insists that if I rewrite one of my earlier papers she will give me a passing grade for the class. As far as other things are concerned, I’m just 10 days (as of the posting) away from freedom for the summer.

Nothing new in SV

Well, here it is 12:35am on Tuesday and I'm just hours away from confronting my English instructor on my absolutely herendous grade that she gave me. I am simply going to present the fact that six other teachers or English majors said that they would give me at least a B on the paper. Plus when you also figure in that my anthropology teacher gave me a grade of C, it is absoultely unimagionable that I could be that bad in the English portion of the paper.

In other news, I found out this evening, that even though my Intro to Computers class is scheduled to have a final on the 2nd of June, the option of taking the final on Wednesday has been presented to the class, and I will be taking full advantage of this opportunity. Also, I have been informed that I will be the CIF-SDS Lacrosse Championship announcer. For those that are not familiar with what CIF is it is the California Interscholastic Federation (the High School governing body for sports). So that will be going on Saturday at Rancho Bernardo (Northern San Diego). Also, I will be in attendance for 2 Lake Elsinore Storm Baseball games this week, Thursday and Sunday.

Greetings my fellow Bloggers

Well here it is on Friday and I'm just barely over the fact that the other 3 or 4 people that I have asked have graded the paper on the B level even makes me madder (is that a word?).

As far as other things in my life are concerned. This weekend will see me on the road alot. Saturday will see me on Coronado and at helix High in La Mesa (please notice that I purposefully did not capitalize the name of the school, not a big fan of the school) to view some HS lacrosse as I found out earlier today (Friday) that I will be the announcer for the HS championship games next weekend for both the Boys & Girls. So that I'm not going in to it completely blind, I thought I would go out to a couple of games. Also on Saturday I will be attending 3rd Saturday Round-Up which is a monthly square dance in Balboa Park.

On Sunday, I along with Mom and Matty will be making the 102 mile sojourn to Garden Grove and the Croakers. I'll be enjoying the fun and then coming home to have fun at "Las Vegas night" at a San Diego square dance club (Sundown Squares). While in the midst of all of this, I must read three essays for English on Monday.

So if you need to get a hold of me this weekend, give me a ring.


Only 17 days (as of the posting of this blog) until I'm free for the summer.
