Feelin Lucky

My dad has informed me that I'm a terrible blogger because I haven't gotten to it in over a month. He's right. But here goes...

Entertainment:
The ski trip was a success, no injuries and I was able to make it down the mountain several times. I won't say that i'm ready for a double black diamond, but i could get there one day. I'm much more of a beach guy anyway, I've since decided.

Nic made me watch He's just not that into you. (Corny) I just wasn't that into it. Neither was Nicole, she fell asleep. I proceeded to hold her eyelids open because if she was going subject me to this, then I would have to do the same. eye for an eye(lid).

The new season of 24 is good, The Office hasn't dissapointed, and Criminal Minds continues to please. I also watched all three Godfather movies in succession, and you really get a good feel for the Don's life when you watch Al Pacino age 20+ years in 9 hours (over two days).

Sports:
Ravens lost. Steelers won. A tale of two, blue collar, crime ridden, cities. I'd not reccomend visiting, living in, or even going near either of them, if you value your life or your wallet.

Tar Heels are still #1 in the ACC laying the smack down on Duke @ Cameron Indoor. Also beat down NCSU twice, no surprise, as Coach Roy Williams is like 12-1 against NCSU in his illustrious career as a Tarheel. Many supporters don't think they have what it takes to go the distance this year but I'm pretty sure they'll cut down the nets in Detroit.

I've decided I want to go watch a Washington Capitals game sometime soon, Hockey is underrated.

Work:
Sucks. I haven't had anything to do in over a week now, I've complained (asked for work) to everyone with little remorse nor additional to-dos. I guess they won't mind when I blog during company time and study up on my college basketball.

Interview tomorrow for the Equity assistant trader position at Stifel. Though its doubtful I'll take it, i'd still like to make a good impression given the future implications. never know when you'll need to know someone in that industry.

Poker:
Richard and I are going to Atlantic City this weekend, Thursday - Saturday. What a god awful place. Atlantic City is literally what would happen if everyone in Vegas were clinically depressed. I actually thought Slumdog Millionaire was going to be the story of Atlantic City. It should be cool though, because my long time college friends Dan, Fisher, Trevor, and a few other notable characters will be up there during the same time. I saved up enough money where I would be able to comfortably play and lose, if luck so has it, but that doesn't mean i won't be pissed off. it won't be the monetary loss but rather the blow to my ultra-sensitive, overly exxagerated ego. I have to retain that killer instinct. I have enough for 5 buy-ins at $1/$2 No Limit and some spending cash. Won't be playing much roulette or blackjack unless i'm winning. I'm pretty good about setting / keeping limits these days, thanks to my credit card bills and $1000/mo rent.-

Life:
Have to watch Georgia for the next few days until i leave for AC, then I have to watch her again next week. I told Nicole I'm the actual dad and she just gets weekend custody.

Brad put his initial deposit into UMD dental school which is like 10-15 blocks from my house. He would start in August; he is waiting to hear from VCU but he didn't get in and he either will get in from the waiting list or go to UMD. Could be cool to have another good friend in the area, for both of us. Doubtful that we'll live together, I think he wants to live with other students that share his life schedule. I could see how it would be distracting if your roommate never had to study, though i'd probably choose to live with someone i know but don't have to be around all day long, and make friends through school. But that's mainly stemming from my working with/living with kuzon and Goldman, both of which were sort of overkill bc i saw them 24/7. I'm not too particular either way, I could save some money by living with a roommate but at the same time, I like living alone. Important thing would be having another friend in town. Lots of IFs yet.

Played basketball for the first time in forever Saturday. It just adds to the many reasons of why I want to go back to school (intramural sports teams). Its not like I took it for granted neccessarily back then, but I sure do miss be able to go to the gym with my friends on a random weekday and play pick up games for 2 hours a day. My gut misses it too.

Speaking of school, signed up for an online GMAT course that work paid for. $1,549. March 15 - May 25 or something, Sunday nights. If all goes according to plan, I can enroll in the business school of my choice August 2010. Which means one more year of work...

Sorry this blog wasn't as quip-filled or funny as the previous two. work has stripped me of my motivation to be creative, anecdotal, or otherwise clever.
