all alone

It's true, i'm officially alone in my house now. For all 27 yrs and 2 months of my life, i've lived w/ someone else, with the exception of 4 months my sophomore year of college. Matt moved out last weekend. A few funny stories about that. So Matt rents a UHaul to move all his things out, as well as pick up a new couch he bought. So he goes to the store first thing to pick up the couch and then when he gets back to my house we loaded the rest of his things. As we are driving down to his house, the furniture store calls and says they gave him the wrong couch (wrong direction for the chaise on his sectional couch). The couch was also wrapped up, so Matt really didn't inspect it too much. Then, at his new house, he discovers that a water pipe busted underneath his kitchen floor...the kicker here is that his water hadn't even been turned on yet...how in the hell does that happen?? Not the greatest start in the world for Matt w/ his new purchase.

So I've been on vacation the past week. It's been alright, just stayed in Indy, so nothing too exciting. Helped Matt and another friend move, went out to the Indy Tennis Championships one day, had a behind the scenes tour of Lucas Oil Stadium (basically went everywhere except for the Colts locker room), went out to the US Senior Open practice day on Tuesday (and going today), and that's about it I guess.

Fantasy football leagues are getting close to being underway. We drew for draft positions this week in my friends league and I got the #2 pick, so very excited about that. And my keeper was Chris Johnson (TEN-RB) and he only costs me a 14th round pick...looking forward to complete domination this year. (To uphold the integrity of my blog, I should point out I didn't make the playoffs in this league.) Work league, which I dominate in every sense of the word, hasn't really started yet. more on that as the season gets closer...

Dave and I (and maybe a few others) are heading to Cincy next Monday to watch the Cubs/Reds play. Speaking of the Cubs, did you notice it only took them 10 days to make up their 3 game decifit to the Cards? I'm having some good dialogue w/ Diddy (a f*n Cards fan...I know, he sucks), about how these next 2 months are going to play out. In fact, it may be time for Diddy and I to have a podcast/running diary on the Cubs/Cards battles down the stretch.....I'll get back to you on that.

Video of the Week - I'm sure some of you have seen this as it got some pub on CNN and other websites last week. But if not, you need too! You'll forward this video to your friends, trust me. It's definitely why YouTube is one of the greatest websites ever! If I end up marrying someone half as cool as this, then I've succeeded in life (and the bride in this video has to be AWESOME if she would do this on her wedding day). Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) most of my friends make me look like MJ on the dance floor, so not sure my guys could pull it off....prove me wrong bitches! Also, look at about the 2:30 mark...this guy is giving Matt a run for his money, but a little less awkward! Happy Viewing

  1. Didn't you just have a birthday in May? Get out your calculator and crunch the numbers again, Mr. CPA. Did you just get in at 6:20 AM when you posted this? Wait, don't tell me....I really don't want to know. Anyway, hope you're not too lonely without roommates.

  3. Haha I saw that video. If I can get a hold of video footage of our bridal party entrance into the reception at my sister's wedding this past weekend, I'll send it your way. You should post it on here. It was fantastic. And completely impromptu. We came out to "Brass Monkey".

    Have fun living alone! And yes, you are old. :)
