Minnesota Life

I have been back in Minnesota for almost three months now and am already gearing up for my next trip back to Holland. My time spent back here has been a general mix of good, bad and ugly, but mostly good. It has been quite boring at times, but I guess sometimes you need a relaxing vacation from the high intensity vacation of Holland. Yes, I do feel quite fortunate that my life has been pretty much a big vacation for the last five years. But back to another high intensity vacation in Holland, and I am stoked. The monotonous office work that I have been doing is starting to wear on me and I feel the need for excitement again in my life. Although living with Jody and Annie (sister and her gf) has been a very entertaining time in my life. No one can make me laugh as hard as my sister, and now Annie is right up there in my top five people that can entertain me and make me laugh. I am quite lucky to have lived with these girls to break up the boringness of the rest of my life. Although, I must say, I have met a guy recently who has added a lot of excitement back into my life which is a great feeling. I feel almost constant giddiness now. Man I love that feeling. Buuuuut, off to Holland I must go, so who knows where that will go; only time will tell. I have just resided to enjoying it for what it is right now.

I'm Back

After a very looooong 1 ½ years off the wagon I am back on it again. Which wagon you may ask? To which my reply is “The blogging wagon!”. I am not so sure how I feel about this, whether or not I want to commit myself to this again, but I think I have to do it for the potential readers out there. I dread the thought of even beginning to think about counting the number of times people have given me crap over the last few years about my lack of communication. I know, I know, communicado with me can be quite difficult at times, but some people have come up with the idea of writing “just let me know you’re not dead” email messages to light a fire under my ass to get me to write something back. However, it is my goal not to get anymore of those messages in the future, so I have decided the blog thing is the way to go so people know that I’m still alive and kickin and of course generally having a great time. It may cut down on the number of personal messages/phone calls/letters people get from me, but at least they know I’m not dead :)

It's Sunday

So, I know I have lots of updates to make about the random happenings of my life. First and foremost, I come home on June 11th, so there isn't much time left for me in the land of the Netherlands. Anyways, so today I made a comment to someone that I was surprised at how many Latino players there are now in American Baseball, and how I didn't realize that there were so many until now. His comment, being a non-American, is "yeah, and there all better than the American players too." Now, I like this guy, but, can you say, how fucking rude. You don't know American baseball, you don't watch American baseball, yet you feel you have the right to make a ridiculously stupid comment like that. It's moments like these when I'll be glad to be surrounded by a bunch of Americans again. That is, until one of the Americans makes some stupid comment about foreigners :)

My alma mater

Some sort of list was compiled of the top 1,000 schools in the United States, and out of curiosity I looked to see if my high school was on the list, and low and behold it was.... click the link and check out #966

Not sure how I feel

I just saw an advertisement for the new movie United 93. I was so initially shocked that they made a movie about this already. So, I watched the trailers, and am still unable to figure out how I feel about it. Is it a dishonor or disrespect to those on that flight, or rather an honor that their story is being told. But how true is that story?
