That thing between my legs Ohhh....what a great feeling to have a motorcycle between my legs again!!! I went over to a coworker's house to check out his bike that he wants to sell. I took it out around the neighborhood and it felt incredible. The feeling of independence coupled with rocket power beneath your crotch is irresistable. First time out on a bike for me this year and I am hooked. Now I just gotta buy that bike and bring it home where I can ride it everyday after work...omg that would be so great. Next I would need some riding buddies. Anyone interested?

Orlando and back My 4 day trip in Orlando was lots of fun. Most of you might not know but the main reason for the trip was not to get tan, but to attend my dad's friend's daughter's wedding. I've got lots of pictures, but left my camera back in Woodbury. Anyways, I don't have an awesome tan to make all of you jealous but I am back to hang with all of you, yay! I always feel like I missed a lot when I come back even from a short trip. I will post the pics and talk about the trip another day, I need to sleep so I can get in some overtime this week.

New Photos Finally!! I've got new photos up! I took some pictures during my trip in Orlando over the weekend. Check them out. Look at the pics and you'll know why I'm not tan, I was wearing clothes most of the time! View pics>>

Throttle open I open up my throttle and feel the pull of this magnificant machine between my legs. Yes, it is home! I got my bike today and I can't stop smiling. I just want to scream "omg i got a bike i am so happy!" like a little girl who just got a complete set of the barbie dream house. Can't stop smiling...

Traffic Sux Everyday before I head home, I check a website that shows real time traffic conditions. I have become obsessed with this site because it lets me know the quickest way home. Well today, I don't think there's a quickest way home. Every major highway I can use is congested! Damnit it is because of the accidents that occured on those highways. Minneapolis / St. Paul Real Time Traffic Conditions

No end Wow there seems to be no end in sight for this traffic jam. This is the worst I've seen since the snow storm. What is it with people that makes me drive like a bunch of idiots? I swear as soon as something starts falling from the sky, like a snow flake or some rain drops, traffic instantly gets bad. Is it only like this in Minnesota or what? This is ridiculous. I should move to Chanhassen next time I gotta work here.

How's work? Many people often ask me how my job has been..."How's work?"...."What's it like to be working full time?" My answers are usually a quick "Pretty good, not bad." That's just cuz I don't want to go into detail about it. But I will today for those of you who want to know more. Here's my typical day... I set my alarm for 7 and usually don't leave the house until 8:15 because I need to eat a little something for breakfast. This week has been the turkey sandwiches with the Chinese satay sauce and the cock brand hot sauce..yum. Well I usually get to work and have my laptop on at 9. I do a wide variety of things such as checking my email, read news sites, find interesting websites, check my stocks, blog, and also walk around and look for hotties in the building. Haven't found too many hotties yet, but there are a lot of people here so I will eventually find a couple. I usually go out to lunch with my calorie-counting friend Ryan (who lost more than 80 pounds in 3 months) and we spend like 90 mins just eating and talking. Lunch is good and feels much better because we actually have some money to spend. For the rest of the day I might use my brain a little for work related activies, and I mean little. When 4 o'clock rolls around I start to pack up because its time to go home... And then the crappy part about work, the traffic. The traffic is ridiculous after work and is unpredictable. That's about the only crappy thing. Everyone in my department is pretty cool and very easy going. They do swear and make fun of people quite a lot more than I had imagined in the "professional environment" but I've gotten used to it and have joined them. So I guess I really enjoy working, but not commuting. If I can give a piece of advice to an intern it would be to go out and enjoy yourself. Don't ever work too hard because they're not expecting to. Spend your energy getting to know people, having fun and getting involved in company things that are free to you. And oh yeah, spend some time updating your blogs too. Just remember not to work too hard.

They are nice Yes my coworkers are nice. Tomorrow is my last day. Today we went out to lunch to recognize my contributions to the company...lol. Actually its more like we went to a really nice restaurant to chill and eat $20 lunches. It's going to be sad to leave this group. Just as I am getting to know everyone real well I have to leave. Well at least I get to go to China. Woohoo! Oh I found a link yesterday that has a video of Bush using someone's sweater to wipe his glasses....pretty funny,check it out

Summer is here It was about this time of the year in '03 when Matt asked me what I'm gonna do this summer and my reply was "I donno, pick my nose?" Well this summer is a little different. I actually have a lot planned. I'm leaving for China in 7 days, I can't believe how fast time flies. I will be there for 3 weeks, then come back to stary my internship at Cargill. This summer I will be working at the Cargill the whole time but I still be living on campus so feel free to stop by. It is just amazing how fast time flies. About 4 months ago I started my internship at Rosemount and today was my last day already. I cleaned up my cube and said goodbye to everyone, and I left with the feeling of helplessness when it comes to controlling time. But there will always be better and more interesting things ahead, no regrets. Everyone wants me to keep updating my blog and pictures while I'm in China. I don't know how likely that will be but I will try, keep in mind I'm on vacation. I usually don't like to look at watches or go near computers during my vacation. But I guess this time I will have to check on my stocks and blog a little so its inevitable.
