Basketball, Background Checks, and Days Off

So I am really upset that I am missing out on KU dominating in basketball. It's one of those things that you wouldn't understand unless you went to KU and were enthralled in the culture that is Kansas Basketball.

I've been updating my resume and looking for jobs back in Dallas and I had this brilliant idea to join careerbuilder.com and monster.com as options for myself. Turns out careerbuilder.com has a connection with a company that does background checks and it is one of the steps of joining so you know exactly what to report. I wish I came up with that idea because it is so smart.

Today, I barely lifted a finger because I took today seriously as my day off. I did end up "making dinner" by putting the lasagna in the oven and the only difficult part was making the salad because if you know me, I've never made a salad before. It seems to have turned out well so Check on the salad making. I got a lot done in relation to updating my resume and looking for jobs. I'm sure my dad will agree as I had sent him about 5 or 6 emails today about it. Now I just need to apply. Yea!!

Victor's back so hopefully we'll be dancing to Shakira later. I hope to be getting a flip video of it so stay tuned

Back to work tomorrow. I am on the grind to get this one pasture finished before I leave. It's in bad condition but I'm using my magic touch and it WILL be finished before I leave. Positive steps...

Guinness Book of World Records

So the other day two guys in London broke a world record for probably the weirdest thing ever.

Two guys set the record for the "Longest Embrace" by hugging each other for 24 hours straight. All I have to say is wow.....

"This is Jeff. He goes by Jesus"

So next weekend we are going to a horse show. Stephen is competing and I am just going along for the ride, kind of like this entire trip. Ness has been searching high and low for trucks and trailers to get the horses to the show. She finally found a truck that would hold two or three horse and has living quarters for Stephen and I. We were so excited because apparently these things can be really fun in the trailer area. The catch is the entire truck is HOT PINK!! Needless to say we've been trying to figure out ways that we would explain the truck to the other riders but oh well.

Yesterday, a few girls came to look at horses and Ness introduced me by saying, "This is Jeff. He goes by Jesus." This is because her mom thinks I look like Jesus and my beard is getting pretty long. I have been laughing about it ever since.

Stephen had gotten me all excited for tonight which he thought was St. Patrick's Day. We had everything covered for tomorrow morning and I was going to take the entire day off and work on my resume and send it out and do some applications. To bad, it's on Wednesday. Kind of a downer but oh well hopefully we can push it back or something

Aren't You Glad This Isn't Your Son?

I almost forgot, I read an article about a guy who wasn't embarrassed at all about who he fell in love with. If I was related to this guy I would not tell anyone that I was. Take a look

More Random thoughts and statements

Hello everyone,

So last night we definitely did it, we watched "This Is It" and it was actually pretty amazing. Glad that MJ went out as a genius instead of a creepy weirdo.

I have been hesitant to start any new big projects because I only have a few weeks and change left here and I'm a little tired but it's all good. The place is in tip top shape and it makes me feel good that I have accomplished so much in my time here.

Today, the farrier came and I had to help a little bit with holding the horses and what not. If you didn't know, a farrier is a person who puts horseshoes on. I was incredibly interested in what Glen, the farrier, was doing. It is one of those things that you understand but never really know how much goes into it until you see it, much like horse breeding but trust me, you really don't want to know the half of what goes in to horse breeding. Plus, it was probably the first time I had ever seen a portable anvil pop out of the back of a trailer before. It was pretty cool. I felt like I was the guy from Dirty Jobs.

I have been trying to update my resume and am having trouble with what I should use as my job title for this experience. I currently have Facilities Manager but I am not dead-set on it. I feel like there should be an "and" or something like that. Feedback is much appreciated.

Random thoughts from an ADD Kid

Hey all,

I abandoned the third-person talk, if you hadn't guessed. Lately, I have just been trying to figure out how I am getting over to the airport to make the 7 am flight that my parents have scheduled for me to meet them at the Great Barrier Reef. That's probably a 4 am wake up call. Yikes!

The other day I was working in a large wood/ mulch pile, not really realizing what I was working with until a day or two later when I realized that there was spiders I hadn't seen yet and bugs I hadn't heard of. Then, I found the Inch Ant, one I had tangled with before but not in such proximity. I was working around a nest apparently and ended up finding one close to my zipper. To preface, these ants latch on and bite you so hard that you feel like you have been shot by a gun. Thank God I was able to get that ant away from me without any bites. Whew!

I got a watch the other day. It is a pretty terrible little thing but it does the trick. Only thing is, it tells the correct time. Something I haven't been use to and really don't like. It's curious that when you haven't been able to tell time, it goes by so quickly. You realize that the day is over when the sun is set, but with a watch you look and it's 6pm and you're like "peace, I'm out. The day is over."

Time goes by so much slower now with a watch and with my parents coming in a few weeks. It's terrible. I feel like my grandfather on my dad's side, my Papa. I come in contact with so few people that when I know that someone is coming in advance I am just going crazy. They should've just surprised me because the anticipation is just killing me.

We are going to a game reserve in South Africa or something, not really sure anymore. Just letting Stephen be in control because its the Pitts-Rogers way...Diane, you know it's true, haha He wants it more than I do and well, it probably matters more than I do.... oh well, I'm sure I'll here about it tomorrow.

If anybody knows about jobs that I would be qualified for in Dallas, please let me know because I am looking and needing a job. I love my parents but I'd rather not live with them forever. haha

till tomorrow
