2 Races Down

and only 34 to go.

Notes and reaction from a weekend

JJ Yeley might actually be a real cup driver. Top Finishing Gibbs driver, congrats on being the best rookie this weekend.

All the changes between teams looks like the changes were for the better. Look at the finishes for the 42, 26 and 2 teams, they've ran well and finished well in both races, it seems like they've improved for the better.

NASCAR had a relatively caution free race and even green flag pitstops! Thats a welcome sight, and hopefully this can be the beginning of a great season of green flag races and limited cautions. There wasn't one car retiring from today's race from an accident, a rarity in today's NASCAR.

Who would have thought going into today's race that the 42nd and 43rd Finishers would be the men who finished 1 and 2 points last year?

Now, the weirdest scheduling quirk, 2 races followed up with an off week that isn't. How long before the next weekend is a Cup Busch Combo? I don't see it being more than 2 or 3 years.

Hey there Amanda

This one's just for you ;)


"Hey There Amanda"

Hey there Amanda
What's it like in that Canadian city
I'm a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Niagara Falls isn't as goregeous as you
I swear its true

Hey there Amanda
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice its my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Amanda
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with my racecar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Amanda
I've got so much left to say
If every simple thing I said to you
Would take your breath away
I'd say it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Amanda I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Amanda
You be good and don't you miss me
Three more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Amanda here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me


A lil take on the Song "Hey there Delilah" by the Plain White T's, its a catchy song, and it describes me and her perfectly ;)

What a week

Its been a week since I've updated and one heck of a week it has been. Amanda was in town, and I had the best birthday I've had in a while. She is just such an amazing person, and I'm so lucky to have her as a part of my life. Unfortunately for me, all great things had to come to an end, and our lives won't allow eachother to spend all our time together. I've missed her so much since she left, and there are still traces of her here, which every time I see em make me wish I was with her.

I'm tired of my work, at first I thought I could hang around there and make things work, there are things that they do there that I'm not really happy with and I need a change. I'm working on my resume some more getting myself ready and already searching for work.

I know I haven't been consistent in updating, but I've had a hard time finding things to blog about, hopefully I can find some real good news and I'll have bunches to tell everyone soon.

Thats it, thats all I have to survive until Amanda can finally be with me again. I'm so excited, I just can't wait to have her here with me.

Just for Amanda

This update, is the sole result of Amanda saying I'm lazy. I'd like to now declare that I am not lazy, I just lack the drive to update at often intervals, and I feel that this is almost a forced update against my will. I'd like you to know since you read this so much and come here every day, that I'm glad you do, even if my lazy ass doesn't update.

btw today well for the next 30 minutes, is friday :p

So its Tuesday

and I'm feeling much much better. Solid foods have made a return into my life, and the after effects of my surgery are long gone. I feel much much better, and although there is still some tenderness and pain, overall my mouth has improved by leaps and bounds day by day. My wounds are healing rather well, and hopefully I'm basically be back to 100% by the time Amanda shows up next week. I'd say I'm about 90% back now, and hopefully the other 10 doesn't linger around. Work has been good and I'm really really starting to get excited and anxious about having my girl here with me. Its so hard to spend all this time apart that the anticipation is soo great.

Surgery, 1 day later..

So my mouth hurts, although not quite as bad as it could, and my teeth are sore, and I can only eat soft foods like jello and pudding and icecream. I wish that there was someone with me to take care of me, and times like this are when you wish you had a great roomate or great friends that could be with you. I know that my family cares and Amanda cares and I saw tons of pain in her face when she couldn't be with me last night. Times like this make things tough on the two of us, because we wish we could be with eachother and we can't be.

I'm getting through the surgery fine, and hopefully after another day or 2 the pain for the most part will be totally gone, and I can start getting back on with my life. Only 11 more days until Amanda comes to see me, and I can't wait for her to be here :)

Surgery

I've never had it before. I'm scared of having it. I really don't want to have it. I'm having it tomorrow. I guess really I'm not scared of the surgery, but I'm definitely not looking forward to it. Its one thing that I really have pushed to the back of my mind, hoping that it would just go away, and now its almost on me, and I have to face reality. I'll be just fine, I know I will be great, but I'm still nervous about going under and having these teeth removed. Its all for the better, but it doesn't make me feel any better.
