and hello!

God knows if anyone still reads this. I know....it's been a while. I've been, well, busy. You see, I made this new years resolution: HAVE AS MANY ADVENTURES AS I CAN! One stipulation: I can't take off crazy amounts of time from work AND I can't be the only one going on the adventure. Someone has to join me. Sooooo if I can afford it and I won't have to miss work or miss a lot of work, I'm probably going to say yes and DO IT if you ask me. This is the perfect time to do this. God knows what will happen to me tomorrow right?

So far I went to the CHARGERS v. COLTS playoff game, went to VEGAS, partied it up with a whole lot of January babies, took an almost spontaneous/partially planned trip to MAMMOTH, planned a baby shower, and decided that I was going to do FIGHT NIGHT for THE BOXING CLUB. **disclaimer: I signed up for fight night again, but this doesn't mean that I will actually get a fight. I can only hope that they find me a match this time. But for those that are interested in coming to watch, in the case I do get a fight it's MARCH 14 @ the POINT LOMa gym.

Some of the other stuff I've got coming up: chillin in LA on Saturday with my bro and Ellene, going to UTAH for a lil' snowboarding trip with Karen, Kristine, and the rest of the boys of ZAPATA RD March 4-8, then the return of a College Kids VEGAS TRIP JULY 4TH WEEKEND!
So, rest assure friends, if you want me to join in your fun, there is time and space for you!!! I figured its a great to spend quality time with people I love and meet new people....like I need to meet anymore people right? Sometimes I feel I know too many.

Other than adventures keeping me busy, I've just been working....a lot...and at the same time trying to train and workout. Unfortunately, working has been overtaking my working out and it's making me irritated and pissed off a lot of the time, making me stress out at work because I have to cancel sessions because of work. WORK WORK WORK...I really do hate complaining about work, but that's what I find myself doing a lot lately. Mainly I think it's because between me and the other guy in my department (YES THERE ARE ONLY 2 OF US ON MY SIDE OF THE DEPARTMENT) we are not getting ANY help and no one's cutting us any slack at all. The two of us are doing the work of 4 people (including stuff that should be done by a supervisor, stuff my manager, the bossman, can't do because he has other stuff to do). This includes splitting the work load and writing up the expirements for the day or future days. Due to circumstances out of my hands, the company has to decided to give Will and me A SHIT LOAD OF WORK. Sometimes it feels as though the "powers that be" (at work) want to just push and push me to see how long it'll take before I crack and have a breakdown...which unfortunately kind of happened today in front of good bossman....I think I just don't want to feel like I'm a failure and I can't handle the pressure or something like that.

So, here's my reasons why I should shut up and stop complainning because I know better:
1. At this point in time, I should be glad I have a job.
2. My boss is a great boss and all this crap that's happening is out of his control.
3. I'm not the only one stressing out over work. EVERYONE else does...at least at some point.
4. I refuse to look like I can't handle it.
And there, venting over. I think I just need a hug or something.

Something else about fight night: I'm scared that I'm ill prepared. I havent been trainning as hard as I used to. My heart is still in it, but I haven't been spending the same amount of man hours in the last couple months like I used to. I wanna do this, I wanna do this. I feel like I have something to prove or something.

Ok, well, anything else on my mind? ehh....blog about it later. Hopefully I can keep up with the blogging again.
