it's a sunshine day
Category: photos

I took my sister, Brad and Alex to Niagara Falls yesterday. At one point in my life I was a licensed tour guide, so I really do enjoy taking folks to see it. I never get tired of it. It was such a beautiful day full of sunshine and rainbows. It really lifted my spirits.

We played around at the Midway on Clifton Hill for a bit. Later that night we decided we hadn't had enough, so we went to Dave & Buster's. That place is fantastic, I never knew! Video games, bars, pool and bowling! We should make an (e:peep) outing one night! Ciao.

this sign cracked me up

our prizes from the midway

that's me, the spy master...

Yay! Fun. Thanks again. But I'm so jealous you went to D&B without me!

Nice pics. Glad you had fun in the falls. Dave and Busters is a preaty cool place. I went once and didn't have time to check out the resturant or find the bowling. If I was more of a video game player I would have enjoyed it more.

Got to love a place where the videogames have a "cocktail" switch where the quarters usually go. Up for a peep trek

Did you guys decide on an apartment already? More importantly, when is the housewarming party?

vincent - 04/20/06 15:40
Dave and Buster's Rocks!!!!

I was there Sat. for the first time and had a blast. If we had an outing I would definantly love to try the bar and food. Plus I think the only way I could beat you in any time of game at that place would be to liquor you up first!!!

I was having coffee at SPOT with (e:Nejifer) and (e:Decoyisryan) tonight when (e:Joshua) made an appearance. It reminded me of when I ran into he and Jerry at Cecilia's last week.

jenks - 04/18/06 11:01

broken dream
Category: soccer

I most likely will not be able to continue with my plans to visit Germany for the big FIFA World Cup 2006. It kills me to even think about it. I've waited 4 long years for this and now, just as I can see it on the horizon, a thick fog rolls in. So close, yet so far away.

Maybe it's selfish of me to want to go but it has been a dream of mine to watch my boys play in the end all be all of soccer championships (my opinion, yours may vary). My family needs me. More specifically, my pregnant sister needs me and I should do everything I can to help her, including missing my trip. I can't do both. I simply don't have the funding, nor the time. That makes me a little bit sad. Ciao.

....and you'll never walk alone.....

It's too bad that you can't go... but the World Cup will come again in 4 years; being with your sister in her time of need is something for the lifetime. :)

In fall 2009 and spring 2010, make sure your sister's pill case is well stocked! ;)
(or you could permanently fix her husband...)

I'm awful sorry to hear that. My friend just told me that he can't go to Europe this summer with me either so that stinks, I know how you feel. If you want we could totally go together later in the summer if you want! Happy Easter!

metalpeter - 04/16/06 11:05
It isn't selfish for you to want to go to the World Cup. A relative of mine went to the World cup when it was in Korea but he was allready there so I guess that is a little differant. Now it might be selfish if you told your sis you couldn't help her because you where going to the world cup. If tickets and plane tickets and hotel where allready all payed for and purchesed then you would have to go and that wouldn't be selfish. But if you have to chose picking the sister is more important. That is unless there are others who can help her. Sorry you can't go.

jenks - 04/16/06 10:47
omg no no! that sucks. Can I help??

the good, the bad, the indecision
Category: work

I was offered a job that I really want. I'm waiting to hear if I am offered another job I want a little bit more. I'm supposed to give the first offer an answer on Monday. I most likely won't hear from the other until later in the week. I don't know what to do.

jason - 04/15/06 19:02
I like your new user pic!

metalpeter - 04/15/06 15:30
Take the Job You really want. Granted the second job you want a little bit more, but both jobs are jobs you really want. What if nothing happend with the second job and you turned down the first then you would have niether of the jobs you really want, and that would completely suck. So take the first one on monday. If the second one becomes and opiton later you may at that point decide to switch jobs.

boxerboi - 04/14/06 14:48
I agree with (e:scott). Take the first job, see if you get the second one and then decide.

Unless you don't want the first job, then say no and wait it out.

Although, if you need the experience, then I would go with the first option.

Eh, what do I know. I work for my next door neighbor and still live at home.

hahaha! good luck. :-D

scott - 04/14/06 14:18
Don't feel bad if you "accept" a job and then the better job comes along. If that happens, you cancel on less desirable position, and take the one you really want. No one can fault you for that.

This is business, you gotta look out for yourself. If the employer could find someone better for less pay, they wouldn't offer you a job anyways. So, feel an ounce of guilt if you end up stiffing them. It happens all the time.
