Rock of Love II<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What a wonderful show, that defies most laws of sensibility. It makes for good entertainment. I still think that Brett Michaels picked the wrong person at the end of this show. Season one he picked the right person. Just.. on that show she just wised up and said no to him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This weekend I didn’t really hang out with many people. Except for last night. I played basketball with JJ and Emily and it was fun. I was on my game for the first night in oh-so-many nights of playing basketball. I didn’t want to leave the court. Contrary to popular belief that was the first time I had hung out with anyone all week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was nice to have the week to myself. I was able to feel like I had evenings- and sleep along with that. I talked with a few friends from Portland recently via messengers it was good. A break from the norm..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a Blazers game in Phoenix this week. The very last game of the NBA season.. so I have been checking on tickets… JJ and Emily both have both expressed interested in going. Yep, the Blazers might just finish above .500- they beat the Dallas Mavs and the Lakers in their last few games. Thats mighty impressive. Oh dear NBA season, you came quickly but left even quicker. Yankees were also winning, but Derek Jeter got hurt and in turn they faltered against the Sox this weekend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Work-wise.. due to the huge backlog they hired temps and now we are caught up on work. They keep switching what I do and now processing documents… It works for me, I like to switch it up. The office took a trip to see the new building we are moving into. It was a big disappointment. It will be small and very much like a stereotypical call center. I can’t wait… Nothing like this brand new office building on the 9th floor. They told us it was going to be better…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A friend that I’ve known for a long time.. is interested in God. Which makes me happy. I want to talk to my friend about it – find out where they’re at.. but on the other hand I don’t want to push anyone away. So for now.. I’ll let it take it’s course. That by far is the most exciting thing this week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t think there is anything else big or exciting to talk about. Not at the moment at least..<\/p>\n

“Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it’s what’s in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will.” – Birdee from Hope Floats<\/p>\n
