So, last night I went to see Juno. Now, if you’ve been living under a rock you need to get that head out and pay attention. If you enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine, you will enjoy this movie. The movie follows Juno, a 16 year old sarcastic disenchanted with life high school student, who finds out is pregnant. Now, this might sound like a sappy happy go lucky movie, but it is anything but that. The cast is amazing and the dialog is sharp and smart. I’ve been spreading the gospel on this movie and believe me, you will love it. You might even shed a tear or three. It is that good.

Finally, this just happened about 30 minutes ago. I came back from watching A&M basketball and I noticed that I had lost my thumb ring. Well, to be honest with you, I’ve lost my thumb ring about 2-3 times. Luckily enough, I’ve always been able to find it. Now, the only reason why I’m bringing this up is because of the way I found my ring this time. It was inside my pants. Yes, inside my pants. Not in my pockets, not in my boot, but inside my jeans… I don’t know and honestly at some point I stop questioning it completely.

So, about 48 hours ago, I started feeling pretty bad. Every muscle in my body hurt. I had a pounding headache and running a slight fever. Now, 48 hours ago I played 3 soccer games in one night. So, I wasn’t sure if it was my body punishing me for thinking I could do that much exercise when I had been void of any physical activity for almost two months due to an injury. However, like the trooper that I am, I tried to tough it out. Well, 24 hours ago, I knew I had the flu. This thing has just knocked me down completely. I feel like I got run over by a large truck. Everything still hurts and I have no appetite. In addition, I’m getting hot flashes, it gets cold then gets hot, repeat. Either way, I’m debating if I should visit the doctor. I’m so stubborn when it comes to doctors. My philosophy is something along the lines that I don’t like to take my sick days when sick. So, I only visit the doctor for my regular check ups. Regardless, if by tomorrow I’m not feeling better I think I’m going to visit Dr. Ho and get her to give me some drugs. :-(

Had never been there before… actually had never been in South Carolina. I was there for the first time two weeks ago and while it had a lot of vegetation, it was nothing that really stood out in my mind. However, this past weekend was different. The trees had all sorts of colors. Red, yellow, brown. It was beautiful. There is a stretch out of GSP airport lined with tall trees on both sides and it was like something out of a book.

There’s not much to do in Spartanburg and I didn’t have a lot of time to do anything. However, I recommend this chicken place and this bbq place. I don’t remember the names, but I’m pretty sure there are not a lot of other options.

So, about a month ago I jumped out of a plane and it was the most amazing experience ever. There was fear, there was joy, there was relieve, maybe even a tear or two. I recommend everyone tries it, it is an amazing feeling. I went through Sky Dive Dallas and they were great, very professional and the whole thing took just a couple of hours.

Well, there have been a ton of things going on lately, so I’ll start things up with a picture from my new phone. A couple of things which will be coming up will be new site, phone, job, planes, etc. Stay tuned.

It has been an interesting two weeks. Last week I spent most of it in bed. I came down with the flu and it was the worst I’ve ever had it. I tried to battle through it on Monday and Tuesday, which was not a good idea. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I didn’t get out of bed. I literally slept for 48 hours. I didn’t eat anything at all, just water and the occasional nature call would get me out of bed. Then on Friday I had 3 soccer games. Usually, I’m one to skip a game if I’m under the weather, however these were championship games and I had to play. :-) Needless to say, I did pretty good and we won 2 out of 3. Good times. However, I paid for it for the next two days. It probably was not until this week where I started feeling 100%. Now, I’m not one to take a lot of drugs, butI’m seriously considering taking the flu shot this year. My mother has always told me to take for years, however I just don’t see why you should take medicine when you’re not sick. However, after my last episode I’m going to give it a try and see how it goes.

Now, I’ve been on a banana buttermilk pancake kick. I love this stuff and I must say, I make some pretty mean pancakes. I might post my recipe.

Finally, the Aggies were embarrassed by Miami last night (09/20/2007). I didn’t get a chance to watch it, I was doing some volunteer work. However, I was getting text message updates from a couple of people at the game and around Texas. I think it’s time for a change of coaching staff. Regardless… We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we…

So, since I’ve been at home for about 5 weeks now I’ve made sure to hit the gym in the mornings. I wake up at 5 AM, make a light breakfast, and walk to the gym. Now, this is the second time where I get home and notice that I’m wearing an article of clothing incorrectly. Two weeks ago it was a shirt which was on backwards (front to back). Today, it was a pair of shorts. Now, I don’t know how this happens, but I have a feeling it has something to do with that foggy feeling you have when you first get out of bed. Alas, I think I need to invest in nothing but reversible work out clothes.

So, I was looking through my cell phone bills and noticed this nice little change in usage. Can you guess which month was crazier than hell? This month is shaping up to be very similar.

January Minutes 3,008 Texts 1,046
December Minutes 1,634 Texts 1,043
November Minutes 1,389 Texts 714
October Minutes 1,648 Texts 432
September Minutes 1,903 Texts 834

That is 50 hours of phone usage for one month which translates to about 1.6 hours every single day including the weekends. However, it was probably more like 2.2 hours per day Mon – Fri.
