So my dear old roomie Zach bounced over to Iraq for four months, which sucks and leaves me to deal with a 2 bedroom apartment, but the good thing is he left money to pay for rent and bills while he's gone. I know what you're thinking, who would want to take a four month vacation to Iraq, crazy kids. Hopefully he has fun, but back to me. Now is the perfect time to be even more awesome in my apartment, especially with my 21st birthday coming up at the end of the month. Times will be crazy, especially with my buddy Jacob as my wingman. Jacob, who recently broke up with his girlfriend, is more than happy to reclaim his old spot by my side, our ventures in the past include everything you could imagine for 2 handsome men (can't get into most of those stories..... pure awesome), and he has even taken up his old name Style from back in the days when the legendary team Mack & Style were together, which makes me Mack... yet again. I'm not gonna lie, I hated his girlfriend, and if you knew her, you'd hate her too (trust me). But enough about that, since the team is back there's only one goal this summer. The number... 40. That's almost doubling last summer, but as long as I got my wingman that should be no problem. 3 monts people June, July, August. That's all we get sometimes, but you have to make the best of it, sometimes even twice, but twice is a rule that is used rarely, very rarely, and just in case Jacob has lost his skill, I got Josh, the back up wingman, he is still in training and I want to do some test runs with him, but I have hope. Too bad my man D-Train isn't back yet, (you don't know him, he's the exact same as me) but he will be in October. But until that time I have to focus on the present, and short future.

Office fun
Work no doubt is boring but if you do what I do you have to deal with people, and people get old. Plus seeing the same people over and over in the office and talking to the same people about their account is pretty much ridiculous. So there are a number of things you can do to make this time awesome.
1. Take your office mates office supplies a week before their birthday, that way if you don't like them you don't have to get them a gift, and what's even better when they buy a new one (i.e stapler, tape dispenser, portable hard drive) you can give it back all wrapped up in birthday wrapping paper cheer. Which acutally leads to the next thing.
2. When this happens it either creates tension, or creates a need to get the originally office mate back, so the other person will start a war with you, like a friendly prank war, but if you follow the guidelines correctly you will always win. Always lock your desk, because the first thing they will go for is taking something from you. I've noticed that the majority try to get you back while you are at lunch or on break, before you leave the office for the day, but there are those who try to get you when you leave, we call them "stragglers", but we'll get to that much later. (like on a different day)
Now the majority that try to get you on your breaks, we'll refer to them as Padraic, now the Padraics are not too bright, once they see you get on the elevator they will run to your office/desk and try to steal something from you, but they can't because your office/desk is locked, so they try to think of something else, and while they are wasting their time, you actually get off the elevator a floor below the current floor and take the stairs back up and sneak to Padraic's office/desk. Now's the time you take out your duck tape or post it note and place it on the underside of their mouse just perfectly so the infrared sensor doesn't work, and don't forget to unplug the keyboard. Now about this time Padraic will try and get back to his desk before you come back up, which gives you just enough time to sneak back to the elevator, ride it downstairs and back up (you have to be committed in these prank wars, presentation is everything). Now the Padraic should be at his desk when you come back upstairs trying to log back on to his computer, only to find his mouse isn't working, so he should be moving it back and forth frantically. You "offer some advice to his problem" by saying "maybe it's unplugged". About this time he should glare at you check the back of his computer and see his keyboard is unplugged, now he will plug it back in and expect the mouse to work... silly Padraic, this will make him angrier, and that's when you say, maybe it's broken. So he unplugs the keyboard he just plugged back in and pulls on the mouse, just hard enough for it to fly back to the computer, about this time anyone in the general area will look over and you can say "what's that on your mouse" and walk away.
Stan - 1
Padraic - 0
It begins anew...
By this time the desperate Padraic will go out of his way to come up with schemes to get you back, this is when the Padraic's become Stragglers. Waiting around til you leave to get you back... silly Padraic's... stragglers don't do anything important, they come up with some intricate plot that just seems to dissapoint them more, because you come into work before they do, silly stragglers, you can see what they were trying to do and set it up better on their side. What my office chair is unscrewed, good thing I expected that. So you switch it with their chair, but wait they're expecting that, so you put another chair just close enough so that they will be lazy and switch it to that chair, but of course that chair is wrigged with a couple paperclips sitting in the back just far enough to give a little wake up poke, but he won't see them.
This is just one awesome work prank scenario, many more can come up with just a little planning, and please you know you have an office Padraic, so if you do anything to these people, let me now with a little comment.

There's a certain point in everyman's life where he realizes 8 redbulls at work a day is too much. I can't handle that anymore, so I quit drinking it, don't get me wrong if a Jaegbomb rolls my way I'll take one but that's about it. I think it's even worse that I'm going through withdrawel. Who has ever heard of red bull withdrawel, ridiculous. I'm shaking, I don't feel stimulated
all I think about is drinking a can. Aaaarrrrgh. But I'm switching to powerade and liptons green tea with citrus, amazing, and healthy, try some tell me what you think. I bet I just changed your life. The main thing unless Jaeger is invlolved stay away from the horns.

starting my blog
I finally am starting to edit my profile on this. Figured I'd add a blog not for any specific reason other than I'm bored. I think I'm bored because my car recently blew up. Which sucks, alot, but what can you do. As soon as my tax return comes in I'll pick up a new one, it'll probably be a pile, just so I have a car til summertime. Here's a word of advice to anyone reading, don't move to South Dakota. On the plus side work is almost over, so I get to chill in my newly renovated ballin apartment when that is done, probably have a couple brews and play some xbox. I hate winter, I'd rather be outside, but now I gotta play video games constantly to stay out of -20 degree weather.
Anyways, I gotta get back to work peace out people.
