Relaxation, Procrastination, Paperwork

As is my ritual every Sunday, today, I got up late, watched some football(never thought the Rams would come back) and now I am getting ready to do a few hours of paperwork. But first, I must find something worth posting about so that I can procrastinate a bit longer.

I think I have found a bar to attend on a regular basis. The waitresses don't slap my ass. But, every time I have been in there over the last few months, I have always known at least one person at the bar. The place is actually a restaurant and bar that I used to frequent years ago when it was under a different ownership and name. About 7 years ago, I started going to a different bar and then moved out of town. When I came back, I noticed the place I go now had closed and changed names. Turns out, the new owners made it really nice. I have gone up for dinner and to watch a few baseball and football games over the last few months. Since I have gone back, I have met a few new people, made friends with neighbors that I had not really talked to before and caught up with several friends that I hadn't seen in years. As some of my readers know, I am not much of a drinker. A few months ago, that changed. Lately, I have been enjoying an odd mixed drink and occasionally, even a beer(for those of you who know me, you know how strange that is). On Friday night, I went to dinner with Joe and his family. As they were leaving I told him I was going to go check out the bar area to see if I knew anyone and to continue watching my former highschool football team get their asses handed to them in the state championship game. He told me I wouldn't know anyone. A few hours, beers and shots later, I told a few friends goodbye and started walking out the door. As I was walking out, my neighbor was walking in. I wish I didn't have to work on Saturday, I would have stayed had a few more, and then gone over to my neighbor's house to play some poker.

As has not been the case much recently, I have had a very good weekend. I have an interview set up for a new job on Tuesday morning, and hopefully will be back in school by the Spring semester, although I may wait for Summer to a) give myself time to decide what I want to major in, b) get used to my new job, and c) put a little bit more money back, since there is opportunity for a good amount of overtime at the new job, if I want to work it. I went to see the Blues lose again last night. It was a battle for last place. I have found the silver lining to having the worst team in hockey. At least, if we finish the season in last place, we get the first draft pick. However, even though they lost last night, they seemed to play pretty well and just had a few bad bounces beat them instead of horrible goaltending and suspect defence. I doubt they will finish in last if they keep playing that way.

I guess I have put off the paperwork long enough. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
