It's become apparent that most of my blogs revolve around the miseries of the current situations either I or someone in my life are going through. This isn't an "emo" blog. I just wanted to pass on stories of my debauchery and latter consequences. However I find myself straying into areas that many people would consider depressing. I am not that man

I love hockey. Most of us have heard or seen of hockey, but the mystery of it lies in our geographical and historical nature. I would enlighten you on both but the reality is we don't have a lot of snow on the west coast. The Red Wings are destroying it right now, and as I find myself meticulously following a dynasty similar to that of the Yankees, I reflect: is this what a Yankees fan feels like? Not the same I cry! Our city is poor, our heroes rise from the dirt, our legends made of Michigan blood. What's your favorite team?
We have hobbies, us all. They occupy the time, give us purpose, and provide a bridge to our participants in said hobby. Most of us that normally would not interact find a strange bond that rivals friendship and camaraderie through hardship. Why must we belong? Humans by nature are social, therefore common likenesses must be established. My hobby is technology. Simple: I like change. I have always liked change; taking trips, new foods, engaging in mischief. But to like change is to like deviance. And yet I like the iPhone. A walking contradiction I find myself scouring the Earth for the unique only to find I am similar to others in my plight alone. The desire for change and difference is shared by many and therefore is a paradox: how can we define unique? Is it something that is different from the day-to-day but is easily replicated? Or is it the snowflake? Fuck snowflakes.
A friend quoted once: "to break up with someone is to gain confidence, to have them break it off with you is to lose confidence. So begin and break up as many relationships as possible and you will always have high self confidence". Is that what I've been doing? I don't think it makes sense. I honestly search for what is good for me. Is that selfish? Fuck ya, but why settle for less when you get one shot at life. Why is selfish bad? Why do I hear people complaining about their life and not doing anything about it? They're selfless. They don't want to hurt the roommates, co-workers, boyfriend girlfriend, friend, family, or the guy in the grocery line who has 20 items in the 10 items line's feelings. Fuck that get yours. Life is too short, don't be the death bed regret. And with that being said, I started something I intend to follow through on. Something that is good, and it feels damn good too. All those who nay-said and criticized can suck it. The reality was you couldn't pull out of your dying relationships fast enough. You couldn't end it after it already ended. My heart goes out to you. And you :)

The weekend awaits

Ah the hardships and joys of weekend days off... oh the structure. We all have seen me in action. My OCD takes over faster than Nationalism in South America. I love having set plans, but mostly for the efficiency. My life revolves around the idea that I can do more in 2 days than what you do in a week. As I type I've already been up for 3 hours, seen a World Cup match, ate breakfast, showered, and am awaiting a trip to the Sierra Nevada brewery and a baseball game @ 7. Tomorrow includes a gym trip, float down the river, BBQ and horseshoe match (Alicia who wears the crown? That's right.)
People confuse my structural prowess with neurosis Don't hate, consolidate. I should be a planner of some sort... hmmm. And don't say weddings. If it was up to me it would be a field, an open bar, and the Dan Band. Thanks mom!
Oh adoption.
I realize more and more the joys of rising early and sleeping early. Here begins the laundry list of symptoms leading readers to believe that I am going down the path of old age. Many people are up early, enjoying the not too hot weather in Sacramento. Why not? Why jump out of the shower to get into a sauna? Why have to shower twice in one day? And the nightlife here is great, but day drinking is too fun to deny it's convenience. Small crowds, cheaper drinks, less cops to drive past! See also gyms, shopping, laundromats, naps and weekday baseball. Businesses are open. What a thought. Another reason I need a big boy job.
On the subject of politics...
Just kidding! And that about sums up what politicians are thinking.
My guilty pleasure, Disneyland, can only come too soon. I've planned it for the first week in September, dates previously reserved for a visit to Seattle (sorry, Dave, Gower) and I plan on doing it SOCD style. Showing up Friday afternoon. Disneyland. Then Saturday, California Adventure, followed by Disneyland until my flight on Sunday night. I work Monday morning, would I have it any other way? If you really want to experience Disneyland, you have to go SOCD style. I can make it through any line, coordinate FastPass times, get free food, and make sure we have front row seats for any show without having to camp out for 2 hours. The trick is to... nope, you'll have to see. It also helps that I can get really cheap tickets for airfare, DLand, and hotels, that I can weave through traffic (see Europe blogs), have patience, and am always prepared for a bathroom break in line. Trust me, I'm a doctor. Signups are starting now. Dates are 10th-12th of September.
