February 28

Oh, last day of February, how busy you were (and fun). Non-stop is my middle name, SON. No, not literally. That'd be ridiculous. Anyway, it started with a little work at the Buy, then a little lunch at the home, then a drive to Grand Rapids where a little John Mayer concert took place after a little snack at Founders and a little hanging out at Mike and Meg's house. We were about 8 rows back and near-center. Pretty awesome. I will say that every time I see Mayer live, I'm reminded of how good a musician he is. The best guitar player I've ever seen in person. Bar-none. When he tours again with the Trio I'm going to be there, no questions asked. A whole set of blues music with Mayer would be mind-blowing. Anyway, we just got back and I'm thinking about heading back home tonight. I have some stuff I need to do in the morning anyway, so it could work out for the best. On top of that, it's not even that late. BOOM!!!

February 27

Well, as far as the new house goes, we got a lot accomplished today. By "a lot" I mean basically everything from Brandon's Grandma's house is now in the process of being unpacked or unpacked in Burton. The majority of the electronics are set up, window dressings up, furniture, etc. A lot of good came of today. I stated at 9:30 and finished around 7. I got home, ate some late dinner, and now I'm getting ready for some rest before the early morning. Right after work I'm heading to Grand Rapids, so I want to be awake.

February 26

After a day that offered up some work, lunch with friends, driving in snowy weather, shopping, helping Lo' and Brandon, and late dinners, I'm feeling a bit tired. I have a semi-early morning tomorrow; the moving truck will be at Brandon's grandma's around 8:30 and we're going to be taking everything over to the new house. With the help of a decent amount of people, they should be all moved in by the evening. Yessir!

What a "fun." day it was. I worked for a bit this morning then hit the road to preview a wedding video with some friends. After that I continued to scramble to find somebody to go with me to Ann Arbor to see fun. at the Blind Pig. A last minute replacement was needed and, unfortunately, wasn't found before I left. About half the drive down I received a call from a pal of mine saying he'd be able to meet me at the venue. I was relieved, especially since it was a friend who I knew would appreciate the band. As for the set itself, it was awesome. About half way through the set they even played their rendition of "Dog Problems" which was a Format song I never thought I'd hear live again. Like I said before, that moment alone made the trip worth it. They closed with "Take Your Time" to finish off a great evening of music. The only thing that would've been better was if the doors opened on time. It was supposed to be an 8pm door time and instead turned into more around a 9 to 9:30 door time. No one had an answer for why, either. Hmmmm. Oh well, still a great time.

And dog problems, I signed a lease,

February 24

Work never ends. Tomorrow I finally get a break. I'm going to be heading to Ann Arbor to see fun. at the Blind Pig. Should be a good time.

And so it is,
B

February 23

I worked through dinner tonight. This is becoming a bad habit to fall into. I just turned the TV on to see Michigan losing to Illinois. Speaking of Michigan, apparently the NCAA has determined that their football team was not in compliance with standard practice time rules and will attend a hearing in August to see if any sanctions will be imposed (not including what the University decides to do to itself). Hmmm. All I have to say is I'm a State fan...and even I feel that Rich-Rod has just about worn out his welcome.

I need some grub,
B

February 22

Normally I'm a fan of frozen pizza. Every once and a while it hits the spot. Tonight, not so much. Shortly after downing a few slices my stomach started to act up. This is disappointing...

So, my day consisted of working on the computer. What else is new.

Amadeus,
B

February 21

Worked all day - 7am to 8pm - at Best Buy an painting over at Brandon and Laura's new house. Now bed.

I'm already sleeping,
B

February 20

Let's get right down to it; I was filming a weddig with Ryan all day today. I just got back home and am headed to bed because I have to wake up for work early tomorrow. As for the wedding, it was Ryan's cousin who was the bride. We did the usual filming routine, so nothing special to report there. I will say that the food at the reception was amazing. Home-cooked goodness. Mmmmm. So, overall, a good day.

I dislike papercuts,
B

February 19

I woke up today and started working on the computer until around 2:30 or 3 when I was finally able to head out to Brandon and Laura's new house and help clean up. Unfortunately I ended up working through lunch so I had to wait until pizza was ordered later on, but boy, was it some good pizza. Honestly, by the time I arrived, a lot was already accomplished. I ended up helping with the wall-washing while some more mudding was going on. Later, Brandon and I ran to Home Depot to pick up everything from kitchen faucets to dryer vents. When we got back their furniture had arrived and was sitting in the office room and living room. Lo's parents were just leaving when we were bringing everything inside. We just had to wait for the oven to finish cleaning itself and then we were calling it a night. Remember now, I got there around 3. The newlyweds had been there since 7 am. Needless to say they were exhausted. Tomorrow they're going to start painting. Hopefully I'll be able to help out after Ryan VanLoon and I finish filming a wedding in Owosso. Hey, it's easy money.

I want to see Shutter Island,
B

February 18

From the time I woke up until after dinner it was business as usual. Only after that did I swing by to see Brandon and Laura. A little Taco Bell and some CoD and I'm now tired. I would've been in bed sooner if it wasn't for a documentary I started watching and became engrossed in. It was called Street Fight and was about the 2002 Newark mayoral election. The majority of the film was spent following Cory Booker's camp while cutting in here and there to check in on Sharpe James and his smear campaign. Well, thanks Netflix on XBox. You completely defeated my need for sleep. I hate you...yet love you.

LeBron is insane,

February 17

Do you want to know what I DO on normal days such as this? Work. That's about it. To tide you over until something sexy comes up, here's a picture.

NBA trade deadline is tomorrow,
B

February 16

A little bit o' work makes for a good day. Well, it does most of the time; that is unless you're working 21 hour days with 3 hours to eat, sleep, poo, exercise, call the homies, and play PS3. So, for me, it was a good day. For others of you...

Don't go down without a fight,

February 15

Thanks President's Day weekend for NO SCHOOL TODAY! That's what I'd be saying if I was still in grade school. But I'm not, so instead I say, thanks President's Day weekend for allowing me more time to try to get some sleep. What? I have to thank the weekend for something.

Today was a lot of running around, hanging out, eating, and a bit o' work. I'm back at the house now and am probably headed to bed. I did just get done playing a little CoD with the guys. Yup, a little hardcore action with a little friend action = good action. Rhett...in order to call yourself a CoD player, you have to dive into the hardcore. Do it.

I should really get something to drink,
B

February 14

Today the family got together to celebrate my Aunt and little Cousin's birthdays. There was snacks, cake, presents, and then some card playing (classic). Throughout the night I caught different pieces of the All-Star game and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, the game itself made up for the (lack of) entertainment the last couple days. It went down to the last shot in which Anthony could've won it but missed. Dwayne Wade received the MVP and the atmosphere seemed to be up all night. It was crazy thinking that over 108,000 people were inside that arena. Massive.

That's about all that happened. After work I got some lunch from Panera and came home to rest for a bit. I didn't get much sleep the night before. Man, I haven't been getting much sleep at all lately. Starting to feel like I'm on a Rhett-type schedule. Speaking of...if you're reading this, I'm sorry. What am I sorry for? I'm sorry that a couple days ago a trade was made OFFICIAL that basically changes the entire Washington Wizards team. Hello 4 new players and a completely new video for the Wiz; goodbye Caron Butler (starting SF), Brendan Haywood (starting C), and DeShawn Stevenson (Lincoln tattoo). I remember you telling me specifically when you were roto-ing Mr. $5, too. Damn.

Is Rip heading to Dallas,

February 13

Let me just say that that was probably the worst dunk contest I've ever seen. Yes, you heard it here folks, the 2010 dunk contest was downright TRRRRRRBLE. The best part of the night was probably the skills competition thanks to Steve Nash. But man...that was bad.

Today I finally finished organizing the rest of the attic stuff and put it back above the living room. Eventually it will all be coming with me to either sell to a collector or put in a gigantic glass case. Why, you may ask. Because I can. Other then that I ran some errands, ate some foods, and made sure I worked tomorrow (which I do). So until then...

Shannon Brown = disappointment,
B

February 12

I almost forgot what a normal day felt like. By normal, I mean waking up at a decent hour after a decent night's sleep to get ready for what turned out to be a decent day. Well, a day filled with errands, cleaning, and more laundry. Later on I got together with Chad and had some BWW's. Then it was the start of the NBA All-Star festivities and some CoD. Man, I'm getting hungry thinking about those leftovers. Mmmm...

Mars is a red planet,

February 11

I spent all morning either on a plane or in a terminal. It wasn't too much fun, but red eye flights never are. One thing they are: cheaper. BOOM! Anyway, I got into Flint closer to noon and my Dad came to pick me up. As soon as I got home it was unpacking time, then cleaning time, then laundry time, then, before you knew it, dinner time and passing out due to exhaustion time. I actually just woke up about 30 mins. ago and realized I should probably start typing before it gets too late. Tomorrow I should be back on a normal, Eastern time schedule. As much as it was nice to get away for a week, I'm glad to be home. I want to thank Bradley and Colleen one more time for allowing me to participate in your Wedding festivities. It was a great time that I won't forget anytime soon. Thanks to Tori and Gina for allowing me to stay with you both while I was out West. And thanks to random flights, as it turned out B.o.B. aka Bobby Ray was on my flight from LA to Atlanta. He's a hip-hop artist that I enjoy. Anyway, I talked to him for a little after we got off the flight and before I had to hike to concourse D. Good man. OK, I'm hungry. Time for some food and more sleep.

NBA All-Star Weekend starts tomorrow,
B

February 10

Catching up is fun to do, so let's reminisce. After trying to sleep in as much as I could, Gina and I headed out the door to grab some food at her Aunt's restaurant. Always a good meal. The next stop was Huntington Beach to visit with Jess for a bit. She's currently seeing a guy named Ryan who has a couple kids, and man, are they filled with energy. As soon as we walked to the door it was off and running. We all ended up going to the park for a little and hanging out. It was good to catch up with Jessica, as it has been a LONG time since I've got to talk to her for an extended period of time. It was later in the afternoon when we left to head back home. Well, in this case, home was toward Brea to go check out Up In The Air before I left. So in my short time in California, I got to see two fantastic movies that, back home, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to catch. I love it. When the movie got out, it was in immediate trip to the airport to catch my flight. I thanked Gina and her mother for letting me stay with them again and was off. Inside I waited in a longer line to GET TO security than the actual security check lasted me. It was bizarre. Either way, I got to my gate, sat there until around 10:30, and boarded.

Oh, flying,
B

February 9

Hanging out around here is a good time. The day started with a trip to pick up Gina's cousin, Crystal, and then we were off to grab some food at Swingers. You can never go wrong with a meal from there. Still the BEST chocolate shake I've had in a long time. After lunch it was movie time at the Archlight. We decided to go check out Crazy Heart which was great. Jeff Bridges was fantastic as Bad Blake and not a bad singer, which is a good thing, considering his character is a country singer. Next up was AMOEBA! I love me some Amoeba. Like I mentioned during the summer, I could easily spend hours upon hours there, but we didn't have that kind of time. I was only successful in finding one album in stock for a friend. The others were all sold out.

When we left the record store, the Wolfman premiere was starting up, so we walked behind a barrier and waited around for a few. Low and behold people started walking out. Crystal and I got our picture taken with Craig Robinson (Darryl from The Office) and I snapped some more shots of Common, Emily Blunt, and Benicio Del Toro. Throughout the night we saw John Krasinski, Hugo Weaving, and Anthony Hopkins walk into the theater as well. So, yeah, it was an interesting experience. I will say one thing: I HATE THE PAPARAZZI WITH A PASSION. I think I hate them even more now given we were standing between a group of them. They were talking down to everyone around us, almost disgusted some didn't know who "person x" was or that "person c" was going to be in the new Tron movie or, well, you get the idea. Basically they're all a bunch of self-involved dicks who take pictures and invade other people's privacy for a living. Way to go, I hope you feel great about yourself. Not to be shallow, but all of them...not the best looking group of people, either. So yeah, moral of the story, never join the paparazzi unless you want your life to amount to nothing important. I know, I really do hate these people. As I was taking pictures with my little Canon PowerShot, I was feeling a little stupid. I was doing the same thing these other douchebags were doing with a cheaper camera. Still, I figured since I was there, I might as well.

To end the night we headed to a shake shop called Millions of Milkshakes to grab some dessert. To be honest with you, it wasn't anything too special. Think Coldstone for shakes and you've got a good idea of what it's all about. After that we drove through the hills for a bit, dropped Crystal off, grabbed some dinner, and now I'm laying in bed at Gina's. I can't believe I'm going to be on a flight back home tomorrow around this time. I can tell you one thing, I'm going to be tired. Haha. Even though I'm on the West Coast, I'm definitely still on East Coast time.

Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try,
B

February 8

Today was definitely more my pace. The sleeping arrangement at my sister's apartment was a little rough (I was on a couch about 2 feet too small) but I managed. While Tori was at class I did some laundry, cleaned up, jumped in the shower, and grabbed a little bit to eat. As soon as she got back we were back out the door to Redlands' campus. I hadn't yet seen it in person so it was cool to walk around, take some pictures, and see where my sister spends her weekdays. Next up was a trip to a local bakery to pick up some pastries that we were going to take out to my Aunt and Uncle's place. So off we were to meet up with them for dinner at Outback. Kelsey and her fiance, Danny, ended up being there too, so it was cool to finally meet him in person. (I've been typing "meet" a lot during this post. I'm sorry.) We then ran back to their apartment where we enjoyed the brownies/cupcakes that were purchased earlier. My Uncle showed me a few iPhone apps he was developing, so be on the lookout for "Family Book". After we said our goodbyes my sister drove me out to Brea where Gina was waiting to pick me up. And now I'm at her place typing the daily post. I'm also exhausted, as I feel the lack of sleep from the past few days has finally caught up with me. The funny thing is it's not even midnight on the West Coast. What is WRONG with me?

Arclight tomorrow,
B

February 7 [B]

We were coaxed into getting into this shady "limo" with some mad Russian lady who kept filling our head with comp'd door fee's and free drinks. Mike, Eric and I were in the back while Brad got shotgun. In this instance...not so good. At one point I was thinking we were going to be driven out to the middle of the desert and murdered. When her scheme didn't work, she tried getting us to go someplace else, but we were over it. However, this is when the whole "it's a small world" thing comes into play. She was doing the typical small talk action and asking us where we were from. We all responded Michigan and she came back with a, "Oh yeah. I know Michigan very well. Where abouts are you from?" We all responded Flint and she came back with a, "NO! You're joking. I lived around Flint for (insert months)." Now, at this point, I'm thinking this lady is a great BS-er. I mean, she almost had me convinced. And then, without anyone saying another word, she bursts out with, "Yeah, I used to live on Seymour and Reid." We all lost it. Not only was this crazy Russian lady telling the truth about Flint, she lived in SWARTZ CREEK! Now tell me, what are the odds. And for further proof we started chatting with her about the area and she knew exactly what we were talking about (even asking if certain stores were still around). Anyway, she ended up dropping us back off at Brad's hotel after unsuccessfully trying to take us to some random strip joints, but we still came away with a hell of a story to tell. A hell of a story. Oh, and at some point during the ride she kept commenting about how, for her age, most women's bodies are destroyed (THE ACTUAL TERM SHE USED) but how she was looking pretty good still. If this story seems jumbled, you now know how we felt the entire time we were in this vehicle. It was surreal. Absolutely surreal.

This morning (after the events of the previous evening), the first thing the guys did was head to the MGM Grand for a little buffet action. Everyone always talks about Vegas buffets, but we hadn't had a chance to try on yet...until then. And let me tell you, for $25 dollars, it was worth it. Anything you could think of was at your disposal. Literally. We all ended up eating about 4 plates worth of stuff. Well, I was more like 3.5. Still, we all tried getting our money's worth and succeeded. I then ran back to the hotel to clean up, change, and meet everyone at Brad's to figure out who's going with whom to the "chapel." We ended up being able to fit everyone into a couple of cars and the limo, so all was well. Once we arrived we hung out in the lobby until it was time for Colleen to head into her room until the ceremony started. Throughout this many different people were logging on to a website where you could actually watch the wedding through a live stream. Not only did you get the ceremony, but you got whatever was going on in the lobby before hand, too. Needless to say we all were getting calls and texts saying "I can see you guys right now" or "Wave" or "This is awesome"" or (you get the idea). We all then moved into the hall where myself along with a few other friends and close family witnessed Brad and Colleen get married 10 years to the day after they first started dating. No joke.

After the wedding, Eric and I decided to take a stroll down to "old Vegas" while other pictures were being taken. It was a small hike but worth it to see this once happenin' spot. It was crazy to see the streets almost completely barren, but that had more to do with the Super Bowl starting than anything else. Still, it was a sight to see. Once everyone was set and the newlyweds had picked out the photos they wanted (that the chapel provided) we went our separate ways one more time. Brad and Colleen went to get actual wedding pictures taken (with Brad's mom) and we jumped in the limo and headed to the Venetian to hang out before dinner at Canaletto. It was 5 when we arrived and reservations were made for 7, so with some time to kill Mike headed to the blackjack tables and the rest of us walked to a cafe to grab some drinks and appetizers to tide us over. It just so happened that the Super Bowl halftime show was getting started, so we got to see that along with some of the 3rd quarter. At around 6:20 or so we got a message from Brad telling us to meet at the restaurant for more pictures, this time with the group. So from then until we were able to get inside, it was pictures on top of more pictures. Good times, though. There was also a really awesome moment where Brad and Colleen walked near a group of stringed instrument performers and had their first dance. When they were finished everyone in the general vicinity that saw what was going on started clapping. Like I said, awesome.

It was finally time to eat a full meal again, and what a set-up. We were on the top level of the Canaletto and had a separate room overlooking part of the shops in the Venetian reserved. A gentleman by the name of Mario came out and described the menu to us (even though we could've saved a lot of time by reading it ourselves and not trying to decipher his broken English translations), but it was good for a laugh. The food, on the other hand, was delicious. Well, there was a general consensus of "pretty good" and when you're dealing with a large party of people, that will have to do. The cake was next and it was great. Remember, this is coming from a guy who really doesn't enjoy cake a whole lot. Even on my birthdays, I was never too big into it. HOWEVER, this wedding cake was amazing. Just ask (insert name). They'll say the same thing.

Shortly after dessert I went over to everyone and said my goodbyes as it was getting late and I still had to get Tori and head to Redlands. When I called she was over at Treasure Island with some friends. Because it happened to be right next to where I was, I walked on over and waited for her. Long story short, we got back to my hotel room, I cleared everything out, and we hit the road to Redlands. We got in around 2:21 which, if you factor out the time it took to go through a terrible McDonalds drive-thru (for Tori, not me) and pumping gas, we made the trip in about 3 hours. Not too bad at all.

Well kids, I'm freaking tired. I really haven't had a chance to sleep in this entire weekend, so I may try catching up now. Needless to say I had a great time and there was no other place I'd rather be than with 2 great friends during the happiest moment of their lives thus far. Can't beat it, folks. Can't beat it.

This is a story about love,
B

February 7 [A]

I'm planning on posting again later tonight to update on the wedding and the other festivities. But before I forget, I need to type what went down yesterday after the Venitian. My sister and I ended up walking around and to different shops on and around the Strip. In particular, the Miracle Mile. Well, before that we walked around the Citywalk and into this large modern looking structure. Inside that were basically all of the stupid expensive shops like D&G, LV, Gucci, etc. It's a shame, because it was designed beautifully only to have a limited number of people visit it because of the choice of stores. Whatever.

Now, next was the Mile, where we spent most of the time in. There were some pretty decent sales going on so I ended up picking up a fee things. Soon afte I received a text from Brad saying they were in the MGM doing a little gambling. Tori wanted to hit up the Coke store before we split up, so we did. It worked out because it was on the way. Once I got to the Grand I found Mike and Brad at the blackjack tables. Apparently things weren't working out. Anyway, reservations were made at Emeril's restaurant at 8:30 and, considering it was being looked at as a semi-rehearsal dinner, Brad had to go looking for a shirt. So I ran along with him. Long story short, we ended up looking in 3 differed casinos before we finally ended up getting a taxi to the Mile. We went to a few stores in there, scrambling because it was already close to 8:30 an we weren't too close. Brad ended up finding something at Quicksilver while I got a button-up from American Appearel. Good thing I went with him, as I was not dressed for the occasion to begin with. Next we hightailed it back to the Grand and speed-walked to Emeril's. We got there 15 minutes late, but it didn't matter because everyone was still waiting for the table. We finally were seated and proceeded to have one of the best dinners in a long while. So good.

Now it was time to go out with just the guys and so a little night before the wedding action. Unfortunately, the first thing that happened as far as the activities were concerned was Brad losing some money. From there we walked some more around Vegas before we ended up at Planet Hollywood. After a few minutes, a decision was made to head to some
strip-joint. And that's were the real entertainment began...

More to come tomorrow,
B

February 6

Last night was insane. And I'm not even talking about the clubs. Hell, I didn't even go to any of the clubs. My extent of the partying was heading to Brad and Colleen's room around 11 and hanging out with all of them while pictures were being taken and drinks were being downed. Flash forward to about 2 hours later and we finally started making our way to the MGM Grand. Now where Brad and Colleen are staying you can essentially take one long walkway from their tower to the casino. It's a bit of a hike, but you can get there quicker than if you went outside. However, when some people are drunk, it can take longer. Long story short, around 2:30 I was taking a friend back to his room because he was so wasted. The rest of the group were still trying to get into a club, but because I wasn't dressed for the occasion (Vegas dress codes are lame) I figured might as well try to help out. Well, we got a little under half way back and the dude passed out. Boom. On the floor. Done. I tried asking people if they would mind staying with him while I ran to get some help. Because Vegas is filled with nothing but premadonnas and douchebags, it took a while. Finally a nice group of people did stop. A few runs later I got back with security on their way. When I got back the group of people were taking pictures with my passed out pal. Classy. What do you expect? Haha. Anyway, once a wheelchair finally arrived, we lifted him up on to it, walked the remaining (long) distance, and got him back to his room. A transfer to the was next and, after waiting for a bit, a cab ride back to my hotel room where I passed out.

When I go up today we all headed to the Venitian for breakfast and to scout out where the after wedding dinner will be. Then it was more walking, hanging out, and exploring.

On a side note, my friend has no recollection of what happened to him last night. This will be a fun story to explain. As for tonight goes, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Monte Carlo trumps Travelodge.
B

February 5

The only reason I've been typing these entries earlier is because I'm not sure what time I'll be getting in at night and am not sure if I'd remember to post anything later. That being said, so far the day has gone slow. I know, Vegas = everything not slow at all. Well that's true when you have people to interact with. I waited until around 2pm to meet up with someone I actually knew and now I'm in a hotel room while he gets some shut-eye. Brad and Colleen are taking care of their marriage arrangements at the chapel while the brothers and parents are eating and settling in. I'm not sure when we're planning on going out, but when we do, it should be a good time. I'm not saying that this waiting is a bad thing, especially since the reason I came out here was for Brad and Colleen. I'm looking at it as extra charging time before the night's festivities.

Oh, side notes. Tori may be coming out later tonight. I'm going to see if it's possible for her to stay with some other friends of ours who will be arriving later tonight. Also, as soon as Mike and I got into our hotel room, we heard loud shouting/arguing coming from the room next to ours. If that continues you best believe I'll be getting a hold of the front desk.

Until later,
B

February 4

10:17 AM - Well, here I am. Sitting in the terminal in concourse C, gate 2. I have about an hour left before we start boarding for Las Vegas. It was an early morning, but I'm hoping to sleep once I get in. By early morning, I mean 3:07 wake up after about 42 minutes of sleep. Eh, who needs it. On second thought, I do. Yeah, I do. On the bright side I don't think I forgot anything, which is always in the back of my mind when I finish packing. Hopefully it all comes back with me, too. I'll periodically update this throughout the day. Right now it's just a good way to pass the time.

1:25 PM - I'm talking Pacific time, now. Just arrived earlier than expected into Las Vegas and checked into my hotel. I'm just on the phone talking to different people and trying to het everything arranged. Man, I need to get some food. Oh, but before I go, let me say it's beautiful here. 60 degrees, sunny, no humidity. Awesome. I guess now I just wait and see when Brad and Colleen get in.

8:53 PM - This afternoon I ended up walking around the Strip for a couple hours. Just seeing everything, at least from the outside, that I didn't see when we brought Tori out to Redlands. After texting and talking to some friends both before and during the walk, I got back to my room and ordered a burger. Watched some basketball and Office on my laptop, talked with some more peeps, and now I'm contemplating getting some sleep before Brad and Colleen get in at midnight. I don't know. I'm exhausted. This is my last entry today though. See you all tomorrow.

The Waltons do take a while to say goodnight,

February 3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINA!!! Now that that's been said, I've got good news regarding Chase. Apparently the charges I had questions about were transferred from my old card that was closed. Basically it was much to do about nothing. Out of sight, out of mind, no worries.

As far as today, I need to finish up as many projects on the computer as possible, book a hotel for tomorrow night, pack, clean things up, do laundry, etc. You know, the classics. In fact, I should get on that.

Oh, Las Vegas,
B

February 2

So, I was checking my banking statements from the last few months today and I'm thinking the same S.O.B. who stole my identity the first time may be at it again. I'm getting a hold of Chase. So lame.

SO LAME,
B

February 1

Goodbye month of my birth and hello month after my birth. What does one do to ring in the second month of a new year; he gets his laptop back. Stupid RAM. I have a feeling I'm going to need to order another stick soon. Anyway, Brandon made the trip with me this morning and we stopped by Fortune House on the way back. We then drove back to his place where he was acting as middle man between the different banks in-charge of sorting out his home buying situation. When he finished we threw in Star Trek on blu-ray before he had to head to the Cage. I got home, did some computer work, and updated everything on my laptop. Now it's time to finish some Fortune House and head to bed.

Smiles,
B

Ladies love cool B. That's my alter ego. My Grammy award winning alter ego. He's got a big head and is a bit of a jerk.

With that being said, work was work. Then there was lunch with some friends, home to work on the computer, then over to hang out with some more friends. We ended up watching Gamer...which was terrible. If you liked it, sorry, but I don't see how you could have. Haha. Not good.

On the other hand, I'm watching a documentay called Second Life that takes a look at MMORPG's, the people that play them, and the different situations they find themselves in because of said games. It's pretty interesting.

Well, that about does it for today.

Remember to breathe,
B
