Hail VICTORY! Fuck yeah. Today was awesome. I was having withdrawls from not being able to go to the stadium for the third week in a row, so I got to tailgate and watch the game with my buddies Mark and Mike. The Redskins looked pretty good today, handing the Cowboys their first loss of the season. That means the Skins have won 3 games in in a row. FUCK YEAH!

The Redskins started the game with a nice drive but ended up punting and then went down 7. The rest of the game was close and came down to Campbell kneeling to seal the win for the third week in a row! We ended up taking the Victory 26-24!@#! Came down to an onside kick too. Close! The offense has really started to click lately it seems and we are on a roll after losing the first game. We are going into Philly next week, which is sure to be a tough game.

I have had some down time this weekend and have been able to catch up on some of my favorite TV shows. I finished season 4 of Weeds, and season 2 of Heroes. I also watched the latest two episodes of Heroes which are pretty kewl. I really like that show. Some crazy shit going on though!

I am so stoked about the Reskins win, you have no idea! “Fight for ‘Ol DC!” Gotta go to bed early though, so I can do my dumb early meeting tomorrow. Dream a dream about me. Hehe.

This past weekend was fun. Caturday was “Rock Band 2″ day and we had the full band going. Your man Toxi was beatin’ the skins, Joe was crushin’ the axe, Mark was destroying the bass & Michael was nailin’ the vocals. We were really having a good time. The songs in the new version are so tight. We did switch it up a little bit… its fun to fuck around on the vocals and guitar some too. Hehe. “It’s the eye of the tiger. It’s the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night…” You shoulda seen me… CRUSHED it.

Mom and I snagged J and we headed up to FedEx field to see the Redskins play the Arizona Cardinals. We got there at a decent time and got the grill fired up. I love drinking beer and eating cooked animals at 10 am on a Sunday. Ahh. J made these killer pork chops and the burgers were cooked to perfection. We got shafted and had to walk around the stadium to get to the escalator, which was kewl. Some interesting people attending these football games.

The very last section of the escalator was broken so we all got sardine canned on the landing until we could walk up the last bit of stairs. BULLLLSHIT. But whatever. Beats walking the ramp! We made it to our seats, which were in the upper-deck (as usual) on the 50-yard line. This is the first time we have been that close to the middle. Yay. Got some nice pics. You could see the action a lot better too. You could see the chearleaders better too. MMM. The game was a tight, back-and-forth battle that went down to the last few minutes. We ended up winning the game 24-17. The ‘Skins are really starting to click on offense, which is coming just in time, since we gotta go to Dallas next week. That’s always a tough game.

Last night was “Prison Break night” so I caught up on that, which is getting fucking bonkers. I also need to catch up on Weeds, and have to finish season 2 of Heroes so I can start to watch the new season which started yesterday. I hope it’s not shitty. We made an impromptu Chik-Fil-A day, which is always nice, and came back to campus to eat outside in the courtyard, and our two friends were there so we sat with them. We had some interesting conversations… Work drama, training on “how to interact with Indian Nationals” and more work drama. Either way, YAY fil-a-day!@#$

Tonight was happy hour night and we went to this snoody restaurant that was very ‘eclectic’ to say the least. I am still getting shit for that fagget Red Robin messing with me so I tried to punt that off and actually have a good time at this happy hour, which was almost achieved. I don’t know how I became “that guy” in the group, but its really getting stupid. Everything I say is taken as a joke or twisted into some out of context bullshit and is starting to annoy me. I mean… what the fuck. Oh well. What else do I have to do on a Tuesday night? Sigh.

I am finally going camping with Mark and Krysta this weekend. I am so excited. I have never been camping this “deep” and for this long, so it should be interesting. I get to shoot a gun for the first time ever, and will probly get eaten to shit by all the bugs, but it will totally be worth it. I know half of the people going, and have wanted to go for some time, so its good to finally get the chance to go. Fuck work, go camping! HAHA.

Anyways, off to dreamland where I might have a better chance of being taken more seriously. Weee.

I loooove sleeping in. The only day I get during the week is Friday, BOO. And boy do I cherish that sometimes. Saturday is a given, hopefully I don’t crawl out of bed until at least 10. Sunday is also a given UNLESS its football season and you are going to a home game! Like I am today… for the second week in a row. Muahahaha!

We’ve learned our lesson by hitting a few games of the last two seasons and not really getting there in a timely manner. Now, we wake up butt-early to get on the road & start chillin’ in tailgate land. Weee. It was kewl last week because we got to see the ‘opening ceremonies’ for the 2008 campaign. We had quite an impressive come-from-behind victory last week. That was kewl and all, but lets kick the shit out of these bitches today!

WOOOOOORD! GO ‘SKINS. FUCK ‘EM UP!

… Get out of bed this morning. Fridays are the only work day that I get to sleep in, and it is the most magical time ever. Even if it is just 1.5 hours more sleep than I get any other night of the week. As if I needed some sort of excuse to like Fridays… pfft.

I got absolutely nothing done at work yesterday and it sucked balls. My production install went smooth (for the third week in a row - BONUS!) but then the rest of my day was shot by so many damn meetings. We had a super long lunch meeting and I was damn near falling asleep. If I wasn’t goofing off with a colleague I would have just zonked out and slouched over. She is so goddamn awesome. Her sense of humor is the best. We were making fun of these people in the videos that were playing. Her boss was joking about how he wanted to switch seats with her so he could see what was making me laugh so hard. I knew it was her making me laugh that hard, but told him that I was looking at icanhascheezburger.com to cover for it. Smooth operator in action. Look out!!

After that, I did not even attempt to get any work done. I took care of some administrative bs, managed to thrash my outlook calendar (fuck you microsoft! your products suck - ‘cept 360) and cleaned my desk some.I should have went and shot a game of pool in the game room or something. Ugh.

As we were walking out of the office we saw a friend and he mentioned that he was going to Clydes to attend some happy-hours for peeps leaving the company. It was hella nice outside so I decided to change my plans and hang out. Got there, saw my buddy bar-tender and talked with him for a few then went outside. Hooray, some of the regular happy-hour crew were chillin! There was no room at the table so I pulled a chair over and sat next to the table. Saw my buddy Ryan, who just had his first baby boy and talked with him for a few. Came back to the table and some dude that was already at the table had taken my seat. And I swear… motherfuckers like that need to take a picture if they want to remember me. This dude would NOT. STOP. STARING. at me and it was disturbing! Go away creepy guy!

Whatever. But seriously … “Where is that fucking waiter?… Ah fuckit, I’ll just holler at my bar-tender friend.” Thanks for taking such good care of me all night, Dave! All-in-all, I managed to have a pretty decent time - at least when I wasn’t being picked on about the Red Robin experience, or being ‘ignored’ by our punk-mofo-bitch-ass waiter, or being left out of conversations at the dinner table. I took my plate inside, downed my beer and just took off. I bet no one even noticed that I was gone. Weeeee.

I be ghost’n. Peace the FUUUUUCK out!!
