Well, I'm coming up to visit Wisconsin for a couple of days soon. I'm coming up on the 29th and then leaving again on the 2nd. Let me know if any of you are free or want to hang out or anything.

hmm, *mind blank trying to come up with more to write*

Lol, Stephen Colbert's doing his show from Iraq this week and it's pretty epic so far! The president called in!

Ahh, I've got more stuff to write about, The Air Show was this weekend, but I'm tired so I'll do it later.

This month is great for movies! X-Men Awesome, Star Trek Uber Awesome, Angels and Demons Awesome. And still to come; Terminator, Land of the Lost, Night at the Museum

This week I've been sick :(
My allergies have been killing me this month. I get really stuffed up in the spring and my eyes itch but I got some medicine to take care of that. But this week I had a cold on top of that and it was ... (negative adjective not found). It's made it so I've done almost nothing this week. Go to work then come home and sleep. I'm starting to fell better now.

On Friday I went to the Middle School around here to help with the schools career day. Me and one of my Coworkers showed a bunch of kids the equipment we use as surveyors. It was pretty fun.

Last weekend I went up to Chicago for ACEN (Anime Convention) and met up with some friends. It was a lot of fun, I've got quite a few pictures to put up on Facebook at some point. I'm trying to think of stuff to say about it but all we really did was hang out, But that was the best part. I did get a sweet bookmark from Megzie. I was trying to find a big poster for my room also but nothing really caught my eye.

Now I'm going to go read my new book!

Holy Crap! Stephen Colbert was Knighted by the Queen of Jordan!

Awesome!

Well, I had a really good day today. This morning was my annual Fitness Test and I passed! I was pretty sure I would but it's still good news. Also, apparently since my last PT test, I've gained weight, but my waistline is down two inches. So I'm just going to assume I've converted fat to muscle mass. Sweet.

Then, in class we're studying Buddhism and it really was an interesting class. We had a really good debate about the Death Penalty.

Finally, I went to McDonalds after class and they gave me a free Oreo McFlurry because they made an extra one.

And now there's a new South Park on!

Well, I'm stuck staying awake until at least 6am tonight because of the possibility of snow. I'm on call for the snow team night shift. The weather report said earlier that we were going to get 4-8 inches and so far we have nothing. This morning the weather report said 100% chance of snow tonight and now it's down to 65%.

On the one hand if it doesn't snow, I don't have to go in for snow patrol. On the other hand, if it does snow, I'll get a day off work later this week as compensation. Either way my Weekend is pretty shot.

Well, besides my earlier post about Philosophy, here's a glimpse into the Life of Sam.

On April 10th The Kansas City Royals have there opening day game and I got to volunteer to be one of the flag carriers for the opening ceremony! And guess who they're playing, the Yankees! The only way it could be better is if it was a world Series game with the Yankees and Cardinals! So tune in to ESPN or something and you might see me.

Other than that, I saw Knowing yesterday. It was really a lot better than I expected. There's one Armageddon scene that really is pretty scary. It's almost like an M. Night Shyamalan movie. I can't wait for Monster vs Aliens next weekend, and then not much for a while. But in May; X-Men Origins, Star Trek, and Terminator! Sweet!

My BTZ package went in this month. In the Air Force, 6 months before you would normally get the rank of Senior Airmen, you get nominated to be promoted earlier based on being a good all around Airmen, and that's BTZ. I won't find out for probably another month or so if I made it, but here's hoping.

Next week, I have my annual Fitness test. I'm a little nervous, but I'm pretty confident I'll pass. I passed last year and I've been working out a lot lately. Plus I've started eating healthier. Still, Fitness test always make me nervous, I can't wait till this one's out of the way. Ooo, and I got new running shoes today, they're cool looking Nikes :)

Do you ever have one of those classes or days that really gets you thinking?

I just finished my Philosophy class and now I'm starting World Religions and they're really very interesting. I'm debating now on whether I may want to major in Philosophy.

The thing I'm debating the most right now is the question of what is right and what is wrong, and how people know the difference. Which then leads into the question (if you aren't atheist or such) of who does and doesn't go to Heaven or Hell or whether they exist?

A friend of mine in the desert made this. It's pretty funny
