Hot Off the Presses!!!

SOOOO there has been an insane amount of demand for my next blog posting. I realize that you all find my life incredibly interesting, but you have to understand. When you live the kind of life I do. It leaves very little time for blogging...or the rest of the internet world for that matter. That being said, let me update you on what has been going on in my life lately.

First off, I got a new job. No more Minor League Baseball for me. For those of whom to which it is news that I even had a job, I do/did. I used to work as the head groundskeeper for the Mobile Baybears (the AA affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, located in Mobile, AL). I worked with them for three years, and it was a hell of a time. But now it is on to real life, and the real world. I now work for a medical staffing in Mobile. It has been about four weeks now, and it is actually pretty fun. The hours suck (8-6, and on call 24/7), but it is challenging and exciting....so ....awesome?

Secondly, I am in hot pursuit of a puppy. I have been pushing everyone around me, Megan, my parents, my roomates etc. to get on board with the idea of me getting a puppy. And no one will do so!!!! I am on a freakin island here! Has everyone else lost their minds? John Cox has a dog, Taylor Humphries has a dog, Cat and Mike have a dog, Hilley's girlfriend has a dog....why am I so dsicriminated against? Why must I be treated as a leper??

Thirdly....I don't do a lot else. I recently found out that I will be able to come home for Christmas (hooray!). And seeing how I missed Thanksgiving, I am pretty excited about this. I had to miss one of my favorite traditions of all time, the Hell Hole football game, played annually during the Thanksgiving season (there is not really a set date for it yet...). BUT, I am pushing hard to have a game over Christmas as well, so hopefully I will get to play at least once this year. Last year I had recently undergone knee surgery to repair a torn ligament...so I was relegated to QB, and could not really run. I still threw a bunch of TD passes, and actually had 2 interceptions.

So yea, that's my life....don't miss my next post (no set date yet), which will be covering that big orange thing in the sky, and what we can all do to please it.

still working on a sign off....lets see here

..one love...

nope, that one makes me feel like a gay hippie (eh Cox???)

eh, Ill keep working on it...for now


Stay Classy PLANET EARTH

Strange Times at work

Ok......So, I work for the Mobile Baybears, a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Arizona Diamondbacks, as the Head Groundskeeper. Recently, since the season ended, I have been moved to part time groundskeeper and part time salesman. It is very.......whats the word.....interesting. The job can be boring at times, because I am not allowed to sell a lot of the stuff. So I spend a lot of time wandering around with my buddy Jason, and today we stumbled upon an interesting topic.....which endagered animal would taste good on the grill? Or in the steamer.....oven maybe?


You get the point. But I have been completely consumed with this topic all day long. And I have come to absolutely no conclusion. So I want anyone who reads this to think about it.....even though I am pretty sure it is just Megan

Beer Fest

So in Mobile, they hold an annual Beer festival downtown on Dauphin street every year. This is the first year that I am not working at the stadium and am of age to be able to attend this little event, so I am excited. It promises to be a clustering of drunken people drinking a lot of beer from all over the world. I plan to drink from at least 6 different continents tonight....lets see.....

first of all, I want something from Asia, and something from Africa. I am not sure what the most prominent African beer is.....is there one? I am gonna have to google that.

Secondly, or thirdly I guess, I want a South American beer, maybe something Brazilian

And of course, I want some of the old favorites, Guinness, Sweetwater and so on.

So wish me luck on my international quest of intoxication....I will need it

The Woman I love....

Is a crazy person! Haha


Ok, so she is a lot of other things as well, but right now, she is a crazy person. Apparently she has been obsessing over the background on her blog for about three days now, and it has been affecting her sleep. Its kind of cute in a way, and I can't help but laugh. She is on the cusp of discovering the secret to making a blog background, and she has had several laugh attacks throughout the half hour we have been working on it.

But onto other things she is;

aheem.......

The woman I love is...incredibly funny
The woman I love is...the sweetest person I have ever known
The woman I love is...Beautiful, and able to be elegant and a complete goofball at the same time
The woman I love is...a diabolical genius
The woman I love is...an inspiration to everything I do in life
The woman I love is...a shining example of everything I want and aspire to be
The woman I love is...strangely obsessive about certain things....example 1 - certain movies like dan in real life, marley and me and p.s. i love you
The woman I love...is an ever changing surprise that I look forward to every day

She got my hair cut today, and blogged about it on her site......God I love that woman......

Its been awhile, suppose I am not great at this whole blogging thing. Just finished with the eighth game of a ten game homestand for the old Mobile Bay Bears. It has been hot and rainy the entire time. It has been awhile since I have been this tired....probably since the last ten gamer we had. Anyways, for those of you interested in the Bay Bears records and such, they suck, and continue to lose. Although we have won three straight now, and to be fair, we have had a ton of people get called up, five in all, including a coach.
Well, I think it is all but official that I will be in Mobile for at least another year, probably working for the Bay Bears the whole way around. Its not so bad, I would actually encourage people to move here if they asked, but no one ever does. It is quite nice to be warm all the time. Heading to the beach this weekend for a much deserved break I think.
I also got bored today and made a facebook page for my cat. I think that officially makes me creepy....oh well

The Virgin Blog

Soooooooo, Blogging huh? This is a new one...so here goes I geuss. I am up late at the moment, typing a paper for what is my last class of my college career! I am so sick of school, but then again, why should I be in such a hurry to get out? I hear that this is supposed to be the best time of my life a lot. It has been fun that is for sure. But I tend to think that things will continue to get better as time goes along, and I get to start a family and all that good stuff. I understand it will be hard, and that I probably have no idea what I will be in store for, but I am still looking forward to the future. Anyways, this past weekend was Megan's big event for her job, a huge barbeque competition. Let me tell you what, you have not been to the deep south until multiple arrests occur at a charity event. It was crazy. But it was also pretty amazing to see all these people come out to help a great cause. The generosity of some people will knock you off your feet sometimes.

I am just sitting here now, completely distracted from my work, and I am thinking about some crazy events that have taken place in my past......
-Camping with John, Hills and Dizzy. Hunting for woodland creatures, jumping/tumbling down hills, fishing, getting shocked by horse fences, wading 5 miles down a river.
-Creek boarding with my brothers and Tim
-Creek boarding with Mark and Goodwin in december in wet suits
-starting and regreting a short lived rap career
-Flipping the camera man the bird at my grandparents wedding anniversary party (smooth move by me)
-Late night beach trips with Megan and Hastings
-Mardi Gras
-Athens
-New Mexico
-Maine
-So many late nights at the apartments or at the lonely bar

so many things, to many to recall.......
