I really don't know how to respond to this. Mixed emotions. Read the comments and dude's responses to them, pretty damn funny. The John Candy photo comparison is classic.

3 Days

And then there were 3.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, home. Beautiful.

It's sort of weird thinking that I'll be back in Maryland come Wednesday. Iowa seriously feels like home. I'll have been out here for 52 days, minus 1 weekend. Wow, 52 days.

So after 52 days, not only does it feel as though I live here, but the people I spend night and day with become good pals. It's weird to think that I won't be seeing any of these clowns for a little while, if again. Wouldn't go as far as shedding a tear (sorry), but I've definitely met some good people here that I'll stay in touch with.
So now that the sentimental crap is out of the way. Let's play ball!

Hedge apple ball, that is. No better way to break up the monotony of a 10 hour work day, then to grab a bunch of hedge apples a nice piece of wood, and play ball.

The Bambino

Nice field, right? The stands were packed.

Amazing form. Simply amazing.

Raw power.

Dustin (The Babe) just showed me a new ball he meticulously handcrafted out of duct tape. I'm excited to test it out tomorrow. Hopefully we can replace the hedge apples and actually be able to see how far we can jack some shots.

So, I'm really looking forward to being back in MD Wednesday, even though it'll just be for the night. I'll be heading up to NJ/PA for at least a portion of the weekend to see the fam and some friends. Should be a great time. I'm pretty excited. That and I get to eat some home cooking! Nothing better.

Also, I've been informed that snow has blessed the MD/PA/WV slopes. If anyone wants to go anywhere, anytime, don't hesitate to give me a call. I know spending more time on lifts then skiing sucks, but any skiing is better than no skiing.

Well, until next time. Au Revoir!

Sunday, not so Bloody Sunday

Well, let's see. Not too much to write about again. Life in Iowa just isn't that exciting.

Today was my last day off work while here in Iowa. Nine, ten hour work days left... ninety more hours of work. Ninety hours, that's it. I suppose I'll move to Maryland after my job here in Iowa is done. For those of you who don't know, I actually used to live there. I remember it being nice, figure I'll move back.

So, the Eagles tied today. That's pathetic. I'd almost rather they lost. Seriously though, I don't know what their problem is... Oh wait, I do. Andy Reid needs to get the axe. Nice guy, nice family (bwaa ha haaa) but shit play caller. 58 passing attempts vs 18 runs. Now that's a nice balanced attack. It's no wonder McNabb gets hurt; Drop back 60 times and you're bound to get injured.

What are the Phillies going to do this off season??? I was disappointed to see Holliday go to the A's. And now that the Yankess are set to buy every other free agent from here to Japan, I'm curious to see what the Phils will do. Need to address their lack of a left fielder. Anyone know anything I don't (regarding this anyways)?

I had grand plans of writing about some worthwhile topics, but as you can see, I've fallen very short of that goal. I'll have to see about posting again tomorrow night once I'm not so tired. Anywho, goodnight to all and to all a goodnight.

This post is almost not worth posting.

Here, have a blog

My apologies.

I have had absolutely zero, zilch, nada and noooo desire to blog of late. It's sad really, it's not there hasn't been enough going on it the world. The Phillies won the World Series, a new Pres just got elected, I think we found Little Boy, I was home for a weekend (which was over my favorite holiday), and all sorts of other jazz... Just haven't been motivated to chime in on any of it.

I think Iowa has won by KO. I put up a valiant effort, fought a gritty fight, pulled tooth and nail... I just couldn't outlast the heavy weight, title belt holding champ. A 5.5 week KO. And there's still more rounds to go.

*Sigh*

Even now, as I'm blogging, I really don't want to be doing it.

So now, I present to you, a very brief picture based rundown of the last however many weeks of life here in Iowa.

Edward 40 hands

Dead deer with ass eaten out by carnivores. Look at my big smile.

Sunday commercial watching that's occasionally interrupted by a blip of a football game.

Sexy poses in the woods with machetes.

Potential deer ass eater.

So, I walked into my room this evening after dining at the finest of Mexican restaurants and realized that my room smells, bad. I need to do laundry and let house keeping come in more frequently.

This is all for now... Maybe I'll add more in a day or two. Must.... get.... motivated.... arrrrrrgh
