I seem to be slacking on updates but I haven’t vanished yet.  Tera got a new job as a dental assistant in Marietta (aka the big news) which is awesome.  She loves it so far and it will be far superior to working insane hours at Salt Fork.

We saw “Drag Me to Hell” a few nights ago and it was amazing.  Easily the best horror movie I can remember seeing recently.  It seemed to have a bit of everything.  I was skeptical even though the reviews were incredibly positive but it lived up to the hype and more.

The NBA and NHL are each in the finals.  I haven’t watched much hockey recently but I’ve still been watching basketball.  I’m still picking the Red Wings over the Pens in 6 for the NHL finals.  As for the NBA, I’d probably say Lakers in 5 over the Magic.  I hope it’s closer than that but I don’t think it’s going to happen that way.

I’ve been doing a ton of photoshopping recently.  I’ve had a lot of images turn out extremely good.  It’s kept me busy which is something I need.  Time to call it a night.

Not much new has been going on.  I’ve been busy getting moved out of New Concord and continuing the job search.  That’s been about it.

Today was fun.  Scott came down after church and we watched the Indy 500.  The race was good even though Marco Andretti (who I wanted to win) didn’t even complete a lap before crashing.  Helio Castroneves won by a large margin at the end so it wasn’t a very exciting finish.  Overall, it was well worth taking the time to watch it all afternoon.

We went to Seneca Lake after the race to meet up with some of Tera’s family at her mom’s camper.  Thunder boomed a couple of times but no rain.  There was chicken and hot dogs grilling but I still wasn’t hungry from lunch so I just had a piece of Kennedy’s cake.

Time to sit back watch the rest of the Cavs/Magic game.

It’s been awhile.  Ok, it’s been looooooong time.  Still, not too much has changed.  The sun still rises in the east and sets in  the west.  The grass is still green.  I’m an Alum of Muskingum College.  Wait…that’s a big change!  As of Saturday afternoon, I became part of the “Long Magenta Line.”  Luckily I was able to do it in four years rather than five or more like some people who graduated.  The commencement ceremony only lasted about two hours which was far short of the suspected three and a half.  Following the ceremony it was back to Cambridge to visit with family and friends and eat.  It was a good time.

Being done with college means that without a job I have nothing to do.   I’m going to miss the summer days at CNS but my days there are over.  It’s time to move to something new.  Hopefully, one prospect in particular works out but I don’t feel  as though I should mention it here.

Perhaps the best part of being done with classes is that I can now enjoy the NHL and NBA Playoffs with a clear mind.  The NHL Playoffs have been great while the NBA Playoffs have been somewhat annoying as a result of appalling officiating.  With that said, I can’t say I haven’t been entertained.

I plan to keep this up to date a bit more now but I don’t know how that will turn out.  I’ve said that many times before and failed to deliver.  The only promise I can make is that I will try.  

Baltimore over Oakland
Arizona over Carolina
Tampa Bay over Dallas
Washington over Detroit
Buffalo over Miami
New England over St. Louis
New Orleans over San Diego
NYJ over Kansas City
Atlanta over Philadelphia
Houston over Cincinnati

As you hopefully noticed, I did some work making the site look less plain.  I’m pretty satisfied with the results.  The new site definitely seems more easy on the eyes.  Here are my picks for the NFL this week:

Buffalo over San Diego
Chicago over Minnesota
Pittsburgh over Cincinnati
Tennessee over Kansas City
Dallas over St. Louis
Baltimore over Miami
NYG over San Francisco
New Orleans over Carolina
Houston over Detroit
NYJ over Oakland
Green Bay over Indianapolis
Cleveland over Washington
Tampa Bay over Seattle
Denver over New England

Picking Cleveland over Washington might not be the smartest choice but I’m hopeful after the Browns win last Monday over the Giants.  This weekend shouldn’t be too busy.  I have some papers to work on but nothing too drastic.  I just hope this weekend feels like it lasts longer than this past weekend.

My picks went 8-5 with only remaining game being MNF.  I’m content with that.  Yesterday was a great day to relax and I needed it desperately.  After church, I spent the afternoon watching football and then following the games online.  Around 6 I stopped at Tera’s and then went to her Grandma’s for her brothers birthday party.  It was fun.  I got dragged into painting Tera’s nails and surprisingly didn’t fail.  Her nails turned out much better than the time she wanted me to dye her hair.  We left her Grandma’s and watched a movie.  Today it’s work from 9-5, pick up Tera’s rings, then probably to Cambridge.  I came in early this morning so I could work on my OS project in the labs and managed to get what I couldn’t get to work for hours Saturday to work in about two minutes.  The day is starting out good, I just hope it continues.  Check out the Media Page to see the saddest safety in the history of football.

Games in BOLD represent correct picks thus far:

Atlanta over Chicago
Miami over Houston
Baltimore over Indy
Minnesota over Detroit
New Orleands over Oakland
NYJ over Cinci
Tampa Bay over Carolina
Washington over St. Louis
Denver over Jacksonville
Dallas over Arizona
Phili over San Fran
Green Bay over Seattle
San Diego over New England
NYG over Cleveland

 Yep, it’s been months and months but here I am.  A lot of stuff has gone down since the last update.  I got engaged, started my senior year at Muskingum, etc.  Fun Fun.  Classes this semester have kept me incredibly busy but I’m hoping to try and maintain some decent updates since most other people do.  This one will have to be kept short, but I do want to post my picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.  I’m going to try and keep my picks on here, might keep me from letting my blog go for a few more months lol.  So here they are:

Atlanta over Chicago
Miami over Houston
Baltimore over Indy
Minnesota over Detroit
New Orleands over Oakland
NYJ over Cinci
Tampa Bay over Carolina
Washington over St. Louis
Denver over Jacksonville
Dallas over Arizona
Phili over San Fran
Green Bay over Seattle
San Diego over New England
NYG over Cleveland

Nothing new has been going on lately. I’ve been sick for the last few weeks but that’s been about it. Hopefully it starts to fade soon because it has really started to get annoying.

Weezer’s new album “The Red Album” came out yesterday. From what I’ve listened to so far I’d have to say it’s one of their better recent albums. Considering the fact three years have gone by with nothing new, anything is going to be better than nothing. It’s different but in a good way.

MMA had it’s network television debut on CBS last Saturday featuring Elite XC. The show felt more like WWE than true MMA. I could go on and on about what I didn’t like about it, but it’s better than nothing. If I had paid money for it rather than watching for free I would have been outraged.

Work has been boring lately. There seems to be nothing to do around here besides sit on the internet. As good as that may sound to some, it’s not!

I finally have time to relax. Right now I’m at Shawnee State Park in Portsmouth, Ohio hanging out. Tera had to come down here for work and I got to tag along to enjoy a free stay.

Classes are basically halfway over now. As far as I know my grades are pretty good. Shouldn’t be anything below a B or B-. The past few weeks have been insanely busy though. Project after project after lab after exam etc. This week of Spring Break is probably the most needed break I’ve ever had. I was beginning to go pretty crazy.

Since it’s officially March, that means March Madness is just about to kick into full swing. I’m pretty comfortable with where Duke is even though they could be better. I’m hoping they beat North Carolina again because I would think that would lock them in for a #1 seed. Only time will tell.

Time to watch some basketball.
