Halloween

Wyld Life
So tonight (YES TONIGHT!)
Sorry, just got done with club and I'm still in that mood. We had an awesome halloween club where almost all the kids dressed up. I wasn't sure what to be but I have come to find that putting together a last minute costume is much easier with access to my parents closet. The clear choice was for me to be a nerd.
Everything was going fine then the old area director showed up unannounced. I didn't know what to do so I just played it cool and welcomed him and his family but on the inside I had the all too familiar sense of insecurity filling me. On some level I felt like I was being judged and was nervous that my additions to club would be seen as lame and unnecessary. I distinctly remember watching their reactions to things instead of enjoying club fully. I mean at one point during the game I found myself laughing because two boys fell over from spinning too much only to see looks of concern on their faces. Did I do something wrong? Was my game too aggressive? Am I even a good leader?
I had to talk myself down the rest of the evening and after club the old ad told me I did a good job. I think he was telling the truth and appreciated his affirmation. I'm not mad or bitter that he was there, in fact I understand his desire to see club.
There are still days that I miss shawnee mission and specifically the guys at northwest. Every now and then one of them will write on my facebook wall. It makes my day, ever time. If I were close by, dropping in on club would be a must.

Poker
I was hanging out with my friend colin tonight and in the short amount of time we spent with each other, he brought in over $400 from playing online poker.
This inspired me to check out online poker more seriously because I could use some supplemental income. As much as I love my new job, I'm currently getting paid less than when I was on student staff. I had it all planed out; I was going to come home and sign up right away to start making money. Unfortunately, I only have like $ 20 in my bank account so I'm going to wait until next paycheck to start.
While I wait for my poker dreams to become a reality, I think I'm going to start selling my plasma again. Its basically free money and I'm in need of some green.

I've Become A Bad Blogger
I want to start by apologizing for my recent bad blogging habits. I have no excuse other than a change in priorities. Fortunately or unfortunately I don't have as much free time as I once did and this whole real job thing had put me on a more regular sleep schedule (except for tonight, apparently) and have been trying to phase out tv and internet from my pre bed routine. I am now going to try and fit blogging into my normal day instead of leaving it until before bed.
In more exciting news I downloaded a new app for my phone that is a fish tank wallpaper complete with swimming fish that I can feed. So entertaining, seriously I sometimes just sit and feed my fish because I am nervous that they will die if I don't feed them enough. Basically it is all the fun of a real fish tank without real responsibility aka the same thing I had going on in college when my room mate ben had a sweet salt water tank. Totally worth the $2 I spent on it.

Lifestyle Change
I'm putting my fat ass on a diet.
There are a few reasons for this but mainly: I've come to realize that my hairline is slowly but surely receding. For the last two months or so I have been living in denial but I can't lie to myself anymore. I thought I was going to be in the clear because my mom's brother still has all of his hair. Unfortunately, I am following in the footsteps of my oldest brother - thinning hair.
You might be wondering how my thinning hair is making me go on a diet, let me fill you in. I've always known that finding a wife was going to be mostly based on my personality but I'm pretty sure no personality can cover bald and overweight. Thus the diet.
I probs have a few years before the thinning hair becomes noticeable but there is no way I will find a wife by then (especially because no part of me even wants to date right now). I'm hoping that I will be balding and average which I think my personality can handle.
Also, sorry for the time between posts, I will try and be better.

My Parents
So if you couldn't tell, I didn't really come from a family that shows emotions or is in any way very affectionate. I know, surprise.
Suze has been out of town on business which has resulted in eating a lot of left overs and going out (no complaints here). Tonight I got to experience something quite endearing.
My parents share few interests but reality TV happens to be one of them; and on the top of that list: Dancing With The Stars. It was on tonight and my mom called to talk about the possible eliminations with my dad. I could only hear my dads end of the conversation but it was, dare I say, flirty? It was awkward but confirmed that their 31 years of marriage is not a hoax, they actually love each other.

Country Buffet
I love buffets!
Seriously, it should probs be a health concern. My motto is: "eat so much that the restaurant looses money on me." In college I had to limit myself to one buffet a week and it was always Asian buffet. If there is anything I love more than normal buffet, its Asian. Unfortunately, since moving to Aurora, I have not been to an Asian buffet (hopefully soon) or any buffet until tonight!
Tonight I went to the ever popular, Country Buffet. The food was pretty good (fried chicken better than advertised, shrimp way worse) but the best part was the icee machine!!! What?! An icee machine! I had 2.
Also funny to note that it was just me and my dad at dinner (Suze is out of town and Rob was working). He is a very stoic person in general but I think his talkativeness gets cut in half while eating. It will probably always be strange eating with just my dad when we aren't sitting in front of the TV.
