An open apology

Dear loyal readers,

I am sorry I have not written to entertain your mundane lives in the past several days. I have been much too busy to even think twice about my fans. For that, I apologize.

Sincerely,

Me

ps- Here is the real blog entry...

Like I said before, I havent written in a while because of several factors: Camp, the olympics, Misty May-treanor, the entire USA women's volleyball team, European handball at 4am, my new job, but mostly because of Michael Phelps, the Manchild.

Since the last post, I have picked up a new gig. Because of my exelscior work up at camp, I am now working in an office at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) in Irvine doing random odds and ends for the camp office. I am getting paid right now as I type this in fact (See, I just made 2 bucks!). I am not headed back up to slo until the 6th of September so I figure I'll make some money while I'm here. But guess what the best part is? My boss said I could make up my own title. So, as of last week, I am the JCC resident camp's first OFFICIAL marketing consultant...kinda just rolls off your tongue doesn't it?

Madden 09 comes out today and you should all pick it up because Brett Favre is on the cover sporting his TRUE colors (Green and gold). I still have to pick it up myself.

The big story here though is by far, the Olympics. I really enjoy watching them because it is absolute shut down of all mental processes by both myself (for sitting and watching) and the NBC announcers (for commenting and opening their mouth). The opening ceremonies were amazing and watching European handball still kinda tipsy at 4am was even better. The Euro handball event in addition to 2 other events are actually the three events the USA does not have a team in because WE DIDN'T QUALIFY! Imagine that, there are countries that are better than us at sports (soccer, baseball, tennis...just to name a few).

In other Adam news...I was on the radio Monday! That's right, you are now one degree away from a pseudo-celeb in this 2008 society. The LA rock station KROQ 106.7 morning show (Kevin and Bean) have this segment called "What it do nephew?" where people call in and just talk about random topics they want to talk about. They usually give you a prize for making it on the air too. So I called in to talk about how I thought that Pres. Bush really had no idea what was going on at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and was caught checking his watch at one point! The prize this week are tickets to see Katy Perry and this band called the Airborne Toxic Event at Six flags on Saturday. For those of you who don't know who Katy Perry is, she made that song everyone is singing right now, "I Kissed a girl", if you still have no idea what I'm talking about...youtube/google it. Secretly, I'm really excited. I will post pix when I get back from the show. Should be alot of fun.

I'm headed to Chico to help my sister, Jessica, move into her new apt for school. So I will try to update ASAP. Thanks for your patience. Talk to you all soon.

-Absence rescinded

Life after camp...

So now that I'm back from camp I find that reality is quite boring. No more "please pass the salad from last Tuesday" or "Pssst, can I go to the bathroom?" or even making fun of that one camper (or staff for that matter) that got on everyone's nerves. Reality seems quite tame I would say.

The only thing that sticks from being at camp is the way you walk, talk, and function. I cannot count the times since Friday where I have caught myself thinking about making another bracelet or laughing to myself for "missing the good times" singing songs before meals. If you sang a song to someone or tried ANY of those camp shmraditions (for you Sari, for you) people would look at you kinda funny...like awkward funny.

Life cannot get more dull when trying to decide between watching Montel or the home shopping network. The day goes by much quicker when you look forward to something. No, this does not mean you standby the tv waiting for General Hospital to end just so you can tivo All my children (awesome name drop huh?)

What I'm talking about faithful readers, is my new job. During camp, I was making conversation with the director and jokingly made a remark about hiring me for a month before I went back to school. She got back to me and found out got dem skeeeelz with marketing stuff blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda and BBBBLLLLLAAAMMMMOOOO! Adam is not in debt anymore (i think)

Really though, I just think of everything I do now and say "this is much better than minor league baseball in BFE Wyoming". And it makes me much happier.

Oh, and if you are one of the few people who haven't seen THE DARK NIGHT I suggest you go see it. It's not like it broke any records or is popular or anything like that. Here's the link to the trailer...enjoy.
