Game 7 is tonight. I really hope that the Yankees can pull through. Damn Diamondbacks need to just submit and stop giving me a heart attack. I have an idea, game 7 needs to move to a neutral stadium. Well, I will be clutching the rabbit's foot, crossing my fingers, throwing salt over my shoulder and anything else I think may help.

On another note, I saw The Others yesterday. I liked it although Desiree didn't. Anyhow, it is Desiree's turn on the computer. So more to come later.

Happy Halloween. Have fun Trick-or-Treating. I will be working tonight of course. Lucky me. I start my new job on Novermber 26th. I am pretty excited about it. I have to give my current job notice though. I guess I will do that tonight. Eighteen more days until my birthday. Lists will be e-mailed by request. Although I will accept money if you don't want to shop for me.

Anyway, I am going to get ready for work now. Yeah me.

October 24, 2001

Well a I got a new job. Go me. Well, pending a background check and drug test. I am still concerned about giving notice. The whole I feel bad thing is bothering me. On a happy note, I can go back to school and they will pay 100% of books and tutition provided I get a degree in something that applies to their company.

Oh. Today's poll: Nicolas Leo Robert Desrochers-Mayers....Too long a name?

Anyway, I guess I will go know. I am still considering updating my bio. Perhaps I will today.

Ta ta.

October 20 something...er 22nd 2001,

Damn I look good for my age. :::mutter::: Buster stole something.....

<insert bad waiting room music here>

Anyway, as I was saying. Damn I look good for my age. As Catherine so kindly pointed out on her webpage I am apparently a 232 year old alumni of the George Washington University. And that is why it takes me 6 months to update. When you are my age things can slip your mind.

So, I have a new job prospect. I am supposed to get word on it tomorrow morning. I hope I get it. It would be nice. Although I do feel a tinge of guilt about the possibility of leaving my current job. The issue is I feel like I am abandoning my current boss and that makes me feel bad, but this is a much better opportunity.

On to happy things. Braves have been beat. All I can say is sweet. The Yankees are my team. And as you can tell from the wet marks on Catherine's page. They are her team also. (Look especially at how damp Andy's name is). She would have his (insert number of next child) child in a heartbeat. And this Alicia person on her page....well she just has to go. At least until the Yankees win. Anyway, enough rambling for now. At least it didnt take me 6 months this time. So nyah Catherine. :-)

October 2, 2001,

This is the third time I started this stupid sentence. I realize that I really have nothing good to say at all. It is sad really, you would think my life would be more eventful than this. The only real news in my life since my last post way back in April is the fact that I am married.

The wedding was great although the day was pretty much a blur. I remember seeing friends and family. I remember seeing Desiree. I remember the "I dos", but all in all the day was a blur. For our honeymood we went on a cruise through the Western Caribbean on Carnival's funship Paradise.

More recently though I have just found out that I am going to be an uncle. I have plenty of issues with this. Actually just one issue, this child will know me as "Uncle Ben". I really dont want to be equated to a man who sells rice. I have enough issues with my name as it is. I do not need to add this to the list.

Well, I guess I have said enough for now. <rant>I was thinking about saying something about the events that unfolded on September 11th but I really have nothing to add other than I am proud of my country on the whole. I do have issues though with "racist rednecks" who think that because a person of a particular ethnicity does something horrendous that everyone of that ethnicity is to blame. It is definately wrong and I know it isnt only "rednecks" but where I live that is the majority of the problem.</rant>

Now I am really done. I will try to update more but no promises. Oh, and check out Catherine's journal. She is a very good friend of mine and she has a way with words. Especially written words. I think she should write a book personally.

Cheers.
