Yes... KOBE! NBA Finals time, baby! No Shaq on the Lakers this time. I am not sure who I want to win. I guess I really don't care. I want to see a good series going to game 7, triple overtime with either KG or Kobe hitting the game winner at the buzzer. That would be the greatest game of all time!
My parents were suppose to come, but my dad is having some trouble again. He had to go to the hospital in Milwaukee today. My mom called me at about 3:30 or so. They asked the hospital if they could put it off until tomorrow, but I guess they said that it couldn't wait. I hope everything goes smoothly. Please, if you read this, keep him in your prayers... I just wish this would work out sooner rather than later.
Other than that, today was pretty busy at work. I went to the gym again after work. I debated taking the bike today because it was raining... but it all worked out because it stopped before my ride to work and before my ride home :) I don't care if I soaked coming home, I just don't want to get wet going to work.
Well, that is all I have for now.
"You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?"

Not looking good...
Well, things went alright today. I had some basketball after work. I felt shitty for the first couple games (my lower back was killing me), but after about 4 games, it stopped. Unfortunately for me, I was out of gas by then so it didn't do me any good. I am really tired right about now, and I would go to bed if it weren't for the fact that I want to talk to Teija after she gets out of work. I am hoping she calls so I can at least straighten stuff out... I got a hold of her on break but I couldn't talk at work.
My plan to take the bike up to Houghton may have to be put on hold. It is suppose to rain and storm this weekend, but I will keep my eye on it. The more I ride it, the more I am going to miss it when winter finally comes around :( I was looking at some gloves and a jacket on Dennis Kirk. I need a pair of gloves regardless, but I also want to look into a nice jacket to keep me dry (at least my core) if it does ever rain.
My parents are coming tomorrow to visit me. I am excited! Surprisingly enough, I don't go home very often even though it is only an hour and a half away.
Other than that, I don't have anything else of note at the moment.
"I give and you take and I waited for you but I made a mistake.
It's clear that your fear is so near because I see the look on your face.
You tried to hold me under, but I held my breath.
Alone and now you wonder, what I possess.
Hey! Nothing you can say!
Nothing's gonna change what you've done to me.
Now it's time to shine.
You're gonna burn in the light"

Red Wings Lose!
So last night I watched the first overtime of the Penguins-Red Wings game. It was quite a game from what I heard and saw. I missed most of it because I forgot it was on and I only stayed up until the end of the first overtime because I was getting really tired. I am happy that the Pens won! If you know me, I am not a fan of any Detroit team really. I have never been, and unless Shaq goes to the Pistons, will never be (or maybe Barry Bonds to the Tigers. Haha, just kidding Brandon). While I should root for them since I am in the home state, I can always use the excuse that I was born in Marinette, Wisconsin ;)
Today was for the most part, uneventful. I am getting more and more comfortable on my motorcycle. I may take it to Houghton this weekend, weather pending or maybe soon after that. I still need to get some nice gloves and probably a jacket. We shall see.
I went to the gym after work according to my usual routine. Gotta keep it up.
Now I am home and just probably going to watch a movie pretty quick here but before I go...
I think I need to clarify something for someone that I posted yesterday. I feel kind of bad if it came out wrong. The last thing I want her to think is that she wasn't important to me. The reason I didn't think that we were "on the same page" is because I think we would work better as friends (and I definitely don't want to lose her as that too). I hope she will read this and at least give me the chance to explain myself if that is what she is upset about.
I am also going to post my song of the moment lyric starting today.
"Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her
Used to jump up in the maybach and roll out
Used to care, she used to share
The love that she used to give me can't be found
I lost my way, she said she'd stay
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold
That was before a great depression kicked in and rocked us
And that was before the hurricane came in and stopped us
I told you to leave, but you lied to me
When you said that, "baby no worries I promise to get us back". "

Tracking my Progress
It has been a long time since I posted, but I think it is time for me to start up again. New things since I last posted... a lot. But I will list my most eventful.
- Got my motorcycle license and I love it! Riding a bike is such a rush and you get great gas mileage. The only downer is you really have to drive defensively... assuming everyone is going to take you out.
- I am single again. That happened a few months ago. Not too bad, not great... mixed feelings on that. I do think it was for the best as I don't feel that Tejia and I were really on the same page.
- I still have the same job.
- I lost 30 lbs since the beginning of the year. But now I have a new goal. This last weekend (June 1st would be the start), I have one year to get in enough shape to be able to do the requirements to get in to OCS (ie. be able to the the PFT to get into the Marines). No, I am not going into the Marines. Randy and I made a bet that I could do it with him next year, so if anything, I hope this will give him enough motivation to work out more to make it in next year as well as giving me an incentive to push myself. I think a year will be plenty of time to fulfill the requirements.
We will see. This last weekend, Katie and Emily came back with me to Iron Mountain. It was fun, if for anything, to have someone I know (other than my family) get to see my apartment. They came so they could pick up Emily's friend Cameron from the Green Bay airport. I had a lot of fun making the road trip with them (there never seems to be a dull moment... ever). Cameron is from London (Emily met him 4 years ago online and they have been talking ever since, but this is the first time they met). He seems like a pretty cool kid. He is staying for two weeks up in L'Anse.
Well that is all for now. I will be back soon :)
