OK, now I'm feeling a little better.
I went to the Nebraska-Creighton baseball game on Tuesday night with Brad, Ted, Kelly, Mike, Jana, and Angie. We won a close one, 6-4. It was a good time, although it would've been nice to enjoy some beer at the same time. Ah well. Brad let me hold his 24 oz. can of Bud Light for a moment, so that was cool. Angie didn't realize that they sold beer at Rosenblatt events, so it was a little tough for her when she saw the vendors dealing out bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade. At least we saved some money, I guess.
On a fun note, the plans have been set into motion for our tubing trip this summer. We'll be driving to the Niobrara River, near Valentine, Nebraska, on Friday, June 23rd, on the water on Saturday, and driving home on Sunday. We'll do as we did last year and just camp out in tents along the river. The trip was such a blast last year, I can't wait to go again. I turn 27 on that Saturday, too, so that'll be a fun way to spend my birthday. Even better, Angie will be along for the trip, too, meaning that I won't have to play the fifth wheel and float on a tube all by myself. :)
Bummer...I thought I had downloaded pictures from the last trip to my computer, but I guess I hadn't. It'll have to wait until next time. This year, it sounds like it'll be Mike, Jana, Ted, Kelly, Brad, Jeff, Renee, Brent, possibly TJ and Lynne, Angie, and myself on the trip. That's a good sized group, and it's going to require a lot of beer and sunscreen.
I'm ready for the weekend to be here. This week has just kind of dragged on and on. On Saturday evening, I'm going with Angie, Amy, Joel, and Aubrie to the Husker women's volleyball exhibition against Purdue. That should be fun. I haven't been to a Husker volleyball game since I was in junior high, so I'm looking forward to it.
If the weather holds out, hopefully I'll be able to work in a walk through Pioneer's Park. The change of the seasons in Nebraska is an amazing thing to behold, if you take a moment now and then to do so, and there is no better place to watch than at a park like Pioneer's.
As I was lifting weights tonight, I saw a commercial for a new roller coaster at Worlds Of Fun called "Patriot." It was advertised as the "tallest, longest, meanest, sickest" roller coaster you can find. It was completely lit up at night with neons, too. I must go to Worlds Of Fun this summer and experience it. It sounds badass. I haven't been to Worlds Of Fun since I was 20, with some friends from the SCC crew. I did the ripcord with two girls in our group that time (the other guys were chicken, and wouldn't even get on the roller coasters with us), and it was sweet. I'd really like to go bungee jumping sometime, as well as skydiving. Hang gliding would also be cool.
Some of you may not have heard, but I really like bearing witness to stuff that's cool. ;)
Easter is only a week from Sunday. I'll be heading back to F-Town for the weekend, which will mark the first time I've been home for a stay since January. Which is pretty strange for me; since I moved to Lincoln six years ago, I think I've usually been back once a month or so, on the average. That's the way these things go, I guess. We'll be celebrating Easter dinner at my folks' place, and it sounds like there is going to be a lot of good food, with a choice of ham or turkey for meats. There'll be plenty of strong drink, too. :) It'll be good to get home and hang out with my family, and of course, play with the dog. Easter will also mark the first family holiday celebration to which I'll bring Angie. Hopefully, it won't frighten her off. :D
Well, I'm going to get up early tomorrow to go to the gym, so it's time to call it a night. I'm going to go have a small bowl of Cheerios, but first I'll drop a phat haiku:
Exercise is cool.
Waking up early sucks, though.
But it's good for me.
And, what the heck, here's another:
Tubing will be fun.
We will need a lot of beers.
I might grow a beard.
