I would like to introduce the best t-shirt in the world for anyone who is addicted to making shit up. Although making shit up may be a disease, I still consider it a big piece of crap (ha).
I'm back. My attendance at the gym was requested tonight, which allowed me to participate in treadmill running and bench press pressing. It turns out I've let myself go for the past couple months, and my man-muscles have depleted as well as my pants fitting much too snug for my pleasing. This past weekend was very relaxing...I took the day off on Friday, so I went down to Rochester on Thursday night to hang out with Smallz, then on Friday I made the trip to La Crosse for the rest of the weekend, where I would partake in family time, deck building, grilling, shopping at Menards and Farm and Fleet, building fires, lighting tiki-torches, playing cards, drinking suds and teaching the nephews how to fish. Good times.
The boy from Minnesota There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a super market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only half.
The boy explained that he would have to ask the manager and so he walked into the back room and said, "There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce."
As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half."
The manager okayed the request and the man went on his way. Later on the manager said to the boy, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from, son?"
The boy replied, "Minnesota, sir."
"Oh, really? Why did you leave Minnesota?" inquired the manager.
The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there."
"My wife is from Minnesota", exclaimed the manager.
The boy instantly replied, "Really! What team did she play for?"
I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you
I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colors will bleed into one But yes I'm still running. You broke the bonds You loosened the chains You carried the cross And my shame And my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for

So...I'm going skiing in Colorado next week. My brother reserved a 6 bedroom resort condo back in October, and I finally managed to buy my plane ticket yesterday. No big deal though, I'm getting fairly comfortable traveling these days. I hope to travel somewhere tropical, or at least to a warm environment near the ocean in the near future. There's nothing like the the scent of an ocean breeze while walking in 70+ degree weather, especially awesome at night.
I'm still working on the pictures from Europe, gathering photos from Goose and Pete, then editing and commenting as necessary. Not sure where to post them yet, as not everyone has facebook.
Well, I'm back from Europe, and still paying the price for having way too much fun. I was fortunate enough to get sick on the 2nd to last day of the trip, instead of at the beginning of the trip. My time at home has been spent in bed, while I do still manage to get to work during the day.
Anyways, Berlin was a blast, enjoyed it much, especially meeting individuals while there. Wombat's Hostels are amazing!!! Anyways, on Tuesday we took the train down to Potsdam, where we took a stroll through town to view the palaces of beauty. Tom and I were delayed from leaving right away, so we went separate. We ended up walking around the old city of Potsdam and became depressed as we walked through old Communist housing, this created much appreciation for the freedom of America. Since we didn't plan well for this part of the trip, we kinda wasted a day. I was terribly tired from not sleeping very well since arriving, so I was excited to get to our next Hostel and take a nap. Well, we ended up napping until around 8:30pm, and eventually making it to a restaurant for dinner. We called it a night shortly before midnight, as we were to be up early the next morning for our flight to London.
Here lies the worst day of traveling in history. On Wednesday, we get up around 6:30am, eat breakfast, get on the train to Berlin's airport, and eventually get off at a station so we can catch a bus to the airport. We were all excited to be on a good schedule, so no rushing was required. This happiness was soon to be discarded, as we waited and waited for the airport bus to pick us up...sadly this was to not happen for at least 1 hour. Reason to be found out later, was there was a bus strike that day, so there were very few buses running. Lucky us, so now we are freaking out, and almost to the point of flagging down old grandmas on scooters asking if we can get a ride to the airport. We were almost interviewed on tv, but about 5 minutes after communicating with the tv station crew, our bus finally came. Yeppie. Not so fast though, as we finally get to our gate at the airport, we are on time and almost relaxed, until we find out that our flight has been delayed 1.5 hours due to the airport workers striking. So, now we have to find an alternative method of traveling to London from the connecting airport. Well, we get to the connecting airport, knowingly we missed our next flight, then we are told by the airline that we can take a 45 minute taxi ride to another airport, which has a plane available for us to take to London. We eagerly accepted, as we didn't want to sit around the airport for 6 hours waiting for the next available plane. That turns out ok, so we take the cab to the airport, get on the plane, then arrive in London. "Not so fast ladies, we have a problem, we can't let you out of the plane since there is a fire in the arrival area of the airport." For crying out loud!!! Just let us in the airport so we can get to our Hostel, unpack, shower, then start to party. Well, after an hour of waiting in a hot and dull mooded plane, we finally were allowed to exit the plane. That pretty much ends the worst travel day in history. Sad face here.
London was great, after we finally got there. Lots of old buildings, castles, English speaking, weird accents, funny people. We took a couple tours of London, one of Old City London, and one of the Royal British. Our 2nd hostel was amazing, they had an awesome pub crawl, which we were to experience the night life of many pubs and drink many delicious beers. I actually enjoyed a few Guinness's, even though I can't stand drinking them in the U.S.
Well, there is more to the trip...but pictures will probably explain things in at least a thousand words or something like that.
Today's adeventures brought us to a free tour of berlin, which was well worth it. Learned a lot of new interesting facts and saw some extremely memoriable historical markers. A museum was visited, and good times were had tonight. The details cannot be told at this time, but it was fun. ok, i think it's time for bed. adios and guten tag.
yesterdays adventures took me to Checkpoint Charlie and to one of three sections of the original wall that are stil standing. I was on my own for most of the day, as i slept until 230pm. I was sad to not be able to find any aspirin anywhere, and due to my crazy night the day before, my camera memory card was left in my other jean pockets, therefore, no picture taking took place.
Later on, i met up with the guys for dinner and a beer at the oldest beer hall in Berlin, however, we were hardly impressed, possibly due to the off season.
It's now the 3rd day of the Euro trip and I'm already speaking and acting German. We arrived in Berlin at around 11am on Friday, which was about 6am Minneapolis time...so we were all fairly tired on arrival. Our sleep schedules are still off, last night I was getting home as the sun was rising, so, i didnt wake until around 230pm. I need to get out and explore more of the city. Yesterday, I saw some of the old Berlin wall, which was a pretty memorable experience. My camera has received some nice usage, but my digital photo taking skills will need to improve as the trip progresses. My time is running out on the internet machine, so I shall go for now. Peace out.
Last night...Tonya and I enjoyed eating pizza and drinking captn cokes. Additional fun was created with the fog machine and strobe light. Jeneca's birthday party was the reason for the fun, so we met her at the Figlios bar, then on over to Williams. Dirty was with us, so we made sure to have extra fun. Our neighbor, Wiener, happened to be at Williams as well. We exchanged phone numbers, as we were expecting to party in our apartment building sometime soon.

Quando sono solo Sogno allorizzonte E mancan le parole Si lo so che non c? luce In una stanza Quando manca il sole Se non ci sei tu con me, con me. Su le finestre Mostra a tutti il mio cuore Che hai acceso Chiudi dentro me La luce che Hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso si li vivro. Con te partiro Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu Its time to say goodbye.
Quando sei lontana Sogno allorizzonte E mancan le parole E io si lo so Che sei con me con me Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me Mio sole tu sei qui con me Con me con me con me
Time to say goodbye Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso si li vivro. Con te partiro Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu Con te io li rivivro. Con te partiro Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu Con te io li rivivro. Con te partiro Io con te.
So, my co-worker has got me hooked on energy drinks. The latest in energy is the new Diet Pepsi MAX. It provides a little Ginseng extract, which supposedly assists with energy producing requirements. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best soft drink ever, I give Diet Pepsi MAX a 5. I would prefer to drink a nice Diet Mt Dew, Diet Orange Sunkist or AW Root Beer. Oh boy...this reminds me. I bought a Skor bar yesterday for the first time in ages...it will be a glorious treat later tonight. I have to stop by the store and buy a root beer though, as the combination of the two is priceless.
