Oh Patrick, you are so full of Mekrob!

Well, its January 5th.....of 2010. Ten years into the new decade, and it still doesn't seem like the 90's were that long ago. Weird stuff eh? Oh well, moving on..

So I got to go home for Christmas, which was fantastic! I got to see all my friends and family, and got to play a sweet game of Hell Hole football. My team won of course, thanks in large part to myself, but also to a disgusting pick six to end the game by loyal follower of the Mobile Tuna, Patrick Hughes. John A Cox also had an impressive game, as he had at least 3 interceptions, including 2 taken back for touchdowns. It was exactly what I wanted it to be. I love football.

Back in Mobile, it was back to work on Monday. 4 days of work, and then New Years. The week of course crept by, with each day seeming to go by slower than the last. It was agonizing! Call after call, shift filled after shift filled....it was so boring! Finally I left for the weekend and went home to prepare for celebrating New Years. Drew Adams came into town for the weekend, and we had ourselves a throw down that will go down in history. We spent all night on Thursday drinking and hanging out at the apartment, and eventually spent about 3 hours taking shots and hanging out with our neighbors whom we had never talked to before. They are all from Chile and speak some broken English, but it was a fantastic time! We found ourselves some fun new friends that night, and I actually hung out with them a bit the next day as well. We went to bed after five, but good Lord it was awesome.

The next night, me Jro, Hostyle, Dizzy, Dan and Bob played an absolutely epic game of monopoly. We were playing with teams, and it got intense! We were playing until around 2:30 am, until Catie and Megan came over, and Catie ended up spilling my Irish Coffee (You have to drink coffee when conducting business!) all over the board, effectively ending the game and ruining the board. We ended that night at Ihop.

The next night we were hanging out at Patty O'Tooles, an Irish bar around the corner from my house, playing pool and taking shots. Another good night!

This week however, I have paid dearly for my long weekend, as I have been completely miserable at work. And of course, as fate would have it, I have had to stay until 8 on Monday, and 7 today! It's been rough, but it is gonna be the weekend soon enough I suppose. I am heading to the GMAC bowl tomorrow with some buddies, and will be freezing cold....but I will get to see Dan Lefevour play some football! So that is something to look forward to.

I can't wait to get home to Atlanta again, cause being home for holidays made me realize how much I missed it...
