I am back up in Duluth Rock City now. As a working man.
If any of you remember correctly you would know that soon after I got hired for this job I completely forgot what I was doing. All I could remember was that I was going to be getting a walkie talkie and be some sort of "Jack of all Trades". After today I kind of know more, I am what the water park would call a Bellhop. AKA Bitch that runs around doing lots of things, I think. Formally though I am something to do with guest services, "the first smiling face a guest will see in the waterpark." Corny huh?
Today was a long tiring day.
It began at 8:35 proceeded to a 2 hour drive (with a first ever poo stop) to Duluth. I unpacked my car showered and left for my new job.
Instead of training today I just started by moving things here and there, then from there to yonder. It got tiring quickly. We took a free Mountian Mead break after we swept like half of the waterpark. We is a guy named, Mike and I. He seems alright. Then we powerwashed another large chunk of the joint and left.
Here I am blogging and tired from carrying lots of things both light and heavy, and moving all afternoon.
As I was typing this, one Kristen Peterson walked in the door, and made my day, and probably following week like 8 times better, now I know someone that is here for sure.
Life today is: sore from Monday, Tuesday, and Today. But in good spirits.

Hows my little TGIF?
Catch phrases, I hate many of them...I hate their catchyness, I hate how i use them, I hate how other people use them and I hate how cliche they are and how no one cares.
Today is devoted to a list of catch phrases that I do not support:
I'm Crabby
--This one isnt really a catch phrase at all, but the word crabby just gets me...I absolutely can not stand it. Particularly I hate the useage of crabby as a verb, Don't do that or I will be crabby at you...ugh
Oh, this is cute
--Cute why does every article of clothing have to be described as cute, what is it with you women and your clothing that is all 'cute' why cant it be hip, trendy, or good? why cute...why everything cute, oh cute shoes, coat, jacket, pants, shirt, bra, panties, tampon packaging...rawr
Git 'r done
--This was funny for about a week, now its funny because its not funny, FOR GOD SAKE STOP YELLING THIS. and for you hicks, peel it off of the back of your truck window, put up another one of your damn Calvin pissing on (fill in the blank) stickers
We need to get the ball rolling
--where on earth did this come from? cartoons? I'm just not sure, the only thing I can ever picture is a cartoon snowball getting started down a mountian, ending up the size of a house and has scooby and shaggy yelling the whole way down, lets get things moving, the world doesnt need anymore moving balls.
TGIF
--Yeah, seriously thank god its friday, but there is no need to say T G I F in conversation, unless referring to the resturant who even has enough decency to use one word from the acronym.
That sure was a blessing in disguise
--everything happens for a reason, when someone proves to me that there is something that can see the future and then care enough to come back and take care of my ass, is when I will start using this annoing idiom again.
Violence doesn't solve anything
--Yes it does, it solves tons of things, ask the Japanese, we dropped a couple of nukes on their country and they stopped diving airplanes into americans. Or ask our president, he likes shooting shit at all sorts of people. I think it seems to
I'm quitting cold turkey
--I dont get it, may as well quit stale popcorn...neither really make any sense
He got up on the wrong side of the bed
--Since when does it make a difference to what side of the bed you woke up on to affect your mood. the only time the wrong side of the bed should ever make a difference is if youre under it, and if you woke up there I'm sure its your fault youre there.
I'll have another drink for the road
--Don't drink and drive, people get killed because of that.
Is it funny that i just used a catchphrase to describe one?
I'm going out tonight
--Is this just the Politily correcty way to say, Im getting hammered somewhere? I'm not sure, if I told someone I was headed out for the night they would think I am leaving somewhere for the evening, but if I am going out tonight, my context changes to I am going to be drunk somwhere later. Maybe this is only a UMD thing...
Aww youre pulling my chain/leg
--you probably dont even own a chain why would I pull your (or any) chain to fool you. Pulling your leg is equaly absurd, haha I tricked you (tug on leg) It doesnt make sense to ever pull someones leg, unless in a wrestling match and you want your opponent closer to you, or on the ground...lame
The ends Justify the means
--If it wasnt a silly Idiom people would be like huh? who are you? but it is...and it doesnt make sense, I want instant gratification espicially when I am hearing a corny line describing...something, anything!
LOL
--This is an acronym for LAUGH OUT LOUD, and I am sure 98% of you who use this, dont really lol when you type it. prove me wrong.
I think that is all for now folks, I was just wasting time waiting for someone and they didnt show up...after an hour, how rude.

Hows my little amazing chef?
I CAN COOK I CAN COOK I CAN COOK I CAN COOK!!!
ok well maybe I am exagerating, a little. But I made an entire dinner last night in my croc-pot for Ann and I. And it was freakin good. I even went to the Co-op and used organic veggies.
Also went and saw Rent, I think the only part of this movie that I truly enjoyed was the huge amount of graffiti in pretty much every scene. The music was good, but I am just not a fan of musical plays made into musical movies.
Turns out my life isnt nearly as busy as I thought it was going to be. I think its due to this silly working ahead thing, dont think I've done that since elementry school.
I will have my first training day for my edgewater job on the 19th, woo!

Hows my little BEN TALASKA FREAKIN RULES?!?
Here is ye olde traditional weekend recap blog for you folks around the world (sarah you are the reason why this is around the world...unless someone else does?) I think I'll break it down day by day style, I dont usually do that.
Friday:
Twas a good day, I went to the tweed and had to draw something for class, and I spent an hour trying to draw this one thing and didnt finish, the piece was made out of a zillion lines and I am already a slow enough drawer, so I put it on pause for a few days.
I picked up my NEW skis with the bindings mounted on them, Turns out I needed a $40 extra piece [I wish we spoke in Newspeak(1984 reference)], and they forgot to charge me for it, so that halved my price for that! score one for the poor college kid. The orange bindings really look like garbage on them too.
Later Chin and Aaron made Ann and I a most scrumtious sphagetti and meatball and salad(which I did not partake) dinner.
After dinner we headed out for a night on the town with Kristen for she turned 21, I bought her a corvesaieur. Turns out me and my Dad and I are the only people in the entire world who like that. Kristen was quite the happy little drunk after all was said and done. You go girl
Saturday:
Saturday was a good one, I got out of bed early for me but stil slept in....kinda, 11:00. My afternoon consisted of me writing a 1 page paper, painting the orange on my bindings, black with fingernail polish and eating food.
Later Ann and I went to the University of Wisconsin Superior, and saw Ben's Itty Bitty Shakespeare Company's rendition of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare". Ann and I both agreed that it was very good. I laughed a whole bunch at it, It was only three actors (two boys and a girl) and it was all done very well. Ben makes a very good girl, king, girly king, man, and also managed to play the pissed off version of himself very well too, among other characters too.
Following the Play I dropped Ann off orderd a Pizza and Watched National Treasure, which I enjoyed, and fell asleep through The Lgend of Sleepy Hollow, upstairs. twas a delightful day.
SunToday:
Today began like every other day, I woke up. Dan and I poured two bowls of cereal and found out that there was no milk, I was horrified. So I packed up my ski gear went to Dan's place with the bowls and ate ceral at his house before we headed out to Spirit. It was frigid out there today, a solid 6 degrees when we left with a windchill of -18 WOO we are hardcore. I LOVE MY NEW SKIS. To anyone who cares, the K2 Public Enemy is a very good skiing ski, there wasnt a park to speak of today so I'll give that review later. Oh I also forgot my poles, who does that. I've skied for like 11 years or something silly like that, and I forgot my poles. Oh well it was still fun.
The rest of today has been spent getting organized for my upcoming 2 weeks of business. I did a little homework and now I am typing my blog. After I am done with this I am going to look in my slow cooker recipie book and see if I can find anything that sounds good. For a dinner of two, or for two nights of a dinner. Not sure which it will be at this point, Hopefully will know tomarow.
So with that kids its been a fun and eventful weekend. It was a long blog about me, so congrats if you were bored enough to make it this far.
Oh, dan and I think EMO (sadly*) is taking over Punk Rock, who agrees?
*sadly, haha get it?! emo is sad! hahaha.....ohhh I** am so punny.
**This was actually Dan's joke

Hows my little leaf?
Hi everyone, My name is Tony and I am a procrastinator.
[everyone: Hi, Tony]
I have been procrastinating for the majority of my life, its a horrendous habit that for some reason I cant shake off. Do you think its possible that one could be a procrastination addict? Because I am one if there is such a thing. Ann has kind of sparked a movement in me to not procrastinate quite as much. Just because she was telling me that she had this 20 page paper due friday and she has most of it done already, that was last night. If I were In her Shoes I would have done some prelimary reasearch last night called it good and went on with life and finished it tonight. I'm Lame
Another thing that has really opened my eyes to my discusting habit is the last two projects I have had to do I have finished literally the hour before class started. This is cutting it too close and its getting almost to the point of stupidity.
I admit it is a habit, and its not going to be an easy one to break, but as this week has progressed all of my teachers have been telling us about what is due for our final projects and final portfolios to be handed in. And my claendar inside my palm is starting to get very colorful and full. I am actually going to have to do homework this weekend sometime, which is usually a preposterous thought.
Its good that I am realizing this now rather than in a week, but worse is, that I am noticing just how bad this habit is now and not two years ago, but then again college two years ago could have be taken care of in two hours the night before. Oh well...I am turning over a new leaf, the Tony you are in college now to get a degree, I cant stay up every night from now on, Im going to run out of nights and hours.
A somewhat popular quote I have heard on this topic goes as follows:
"Procrastination is like masturbation, In the end youre really only screwing yourself."
Its so true...
Otherwise life is good, starting this weekend its going to get school crazy.
Today I had a critque for my first project that I really am proud of, for the semester, Its time for me to crack down and get some good work out there...afterall they only let 60 people into the school of Graphic design each year, and Im out of classes to not get in this year, WOO. Since I dont believe in stress though, I dont think it exists, so thats good. Nothing that a good night of sleep cant take care of. PEACE OUT!!
Oh and for those who didnt know yet, check out my turkey/ISU/BSU pix on facebook...If you care
