"My Couch Pulls Out..."

This year already seems to be flying by. It’s mid-April. I am going to College Station this afternoon, when I leave work. I am definitely looking forward to it, especially if it is even half the fun we all had last year.

So I went to get my hair cut yesterday in West Village and I had the same lady cut it as last time. Being the polite person that I am, I asked her how her week had been going. The rest of the time I was there she explained in detail how her week was un-folding, including the pain status of her kidney infection, which subsequently caused her to miss two days of work. Don’t worry, she got antibiotics and they seem to be doing the trick. My point to this one is: I guess I got what I was asking for, but normal people just give you a “glass half empty / glass half full” summation of the week. I think it is weird how some people share a lot of information with people they barely know. Like for instance, when I was in high school, I managed a dry cleaners and people would come in and tell us all sorts of gruesome details regarding their lives. Note to self: don’t be that guy.

Today I was reading a news article about a Twitter-War between Ashton Kutcher and CNN – to see who could reach 1 million Twitter Followers first. WTF?!? That is actually news in our country? Seriously, people… who gives a shit? Crappy News Network and the guy from Punk’d are tweeting. You can file that under stuff I will never lose sleep over.

I got Amanda and I tickets to go see Louis C.K. at Lakewood Theater in about 3-weeks. If you have never heard of him, definitely check him out on YouTube. Louis C.K. is an Emmy Award-winning stand-up comedian, writer, actor, producer and director, guaranteed to make you laugh.

I leave in exactly 5 weeks for Puerto Vallarta for Memorial Day weekend. There are about 10 of us headed down for a long weekend to stay at Adam Miller’s place. I know I just got back from Mexico, but this trip is too good not to pass up. We’d all been talking about it for a while, and you just can’t beat it! I figure, this will be my third trip to Mexico since the beginning of 2009. I am probably going to get harassed for frequent travel to the country. I swear I am not smuggling drugs. I am going to miss the Byron Nelson Classic this year because of this trip. That’s a bummer, but I am ready for a little fun in the sun.

We came in fifth place at Pluckers Trivia this week. I do believe we had the best team name though: "My Couch Pulls Out, But I Don't" (aweful, I know...)

April

This was a pretty busy week for me. I had a lot going on. There were a few people out of the office this week on vacation and I had to help pick up the extra load. I do not mind though, because I am leaving on Thursday for a long weekend in Cancun. I don't think this week can go by quick enough. 

Me and a buddy from work have been going to Plucker's on Wednesdays for this Trivia Challenge. It's pretty cool, unlike the trivia handheld games you play in other sports bars. The whole place is involved in this one. It's crazy. There are around 30 or so teams and you write down your answers. The top three winners get gift cards (each at different values depending on winning order). We have went the last two weeks and our team won both times. Oh how the nerd in me thrives! 

Yesterday a bunch of us went to Brittany and Ryan's house for a bar-b-que and it dawned on me how old we are all getting. Several of the couples there were married and one was pregnant. I walked up on a conversation with a group of wives talking about their interest rates on their mortgage. That is when it all hit me. I am 25 years old. That is mid-twenties. In a couple of years I will be in my "late-twenties" ... that scares the crap out of me. I've decided I am going to hang on as long as I can. 

April is going to be a pretty busy month. Like I said I leave for Mexico on Thursday, and the following weekend I am going to College Station with a bunch of friends for this Crawl Fish Boil and the Aggies Spring Game. We went last year and it was my first time to go to CS. It reminds me so much of Lubbock. I need some time away from Dallas for a little while.
