It’s amazing how things can go from good to bad in a matter of 1 day.  Over the past few weeks things have been… not so well in my life.  However, ever since the 11th, things have been freaking awesome. 

For starters, I have a magic 8 ball sitting on my desk at work.  Every day I ask it a question, sometimes serious, sometimes for fun.  Lately, it has been right on the money.  Not necessarily with what I want the answer to be, but with what actually happens.  I asked it if I would pass my insurance test.  "Reply hazy. Ask again." was the first response.  Second response was "As I see it, yes."  Freakin booya!  Got to Mishawaka an hour and 15 minutes before my test, but they had some open seats.  So I started early.  Passed that sucker with flying colors, 85%.  So now I have this 80 page packet to fill out with where I have lived, who I have worked for, fingerprints, etc… About the only thing not asked for is a blood sample and my first born (none of those yet thank you very much).

This weekend was homecoming.  So I went down to Purdue to see my brother and other fraternity brothers.  Had an awesome time and ran into several alumni that I know.  The following morning was great too.  Had a nice reception at the house, saw two of my pledge brothers that I havent seen in 2+ years.  Talked at length with various alumni from 1970 and older.  It was great.  Then had a beer or two and went to the game.  Stayed for the first quarter and could tell we were going to lose.  So I left and came home, crashed for a bit, and met up with another friend.

AJ was in town.  His pa broke his leg =( so Adrian came into town to see him.  Went out to Pass Times and then over to Lauer’s Saturday evening.  Unfortunately Adrian couldn’t stay with us the remainder of the evening, 8am flights are harsh.  But it was good to see him again. 

Mitch is doing well.  He loves the house and is dating this hottie.  I’ve never seen her but in speaking with a fellow alumnus today, he verified what I had heard.  So good for him.  I think that about wraps up things for now. 

Man oh man… just thought I would share that I hate insurance. I gotta pass this test, so i can get promoted, so i can take another test, so i can get the khaki’s, so i can get the chicks… ok thats botched up but you get the point.  Oh well. 

So things are awesome at work, because I rule.  Yet things outside of work are not so well.  Turned down a wedding invitation this week.  That was the hardest two-day thought process I have had in I can’t tell you how long.  I got the invite when I came home from lunch Monday.  I just sat and thought.  Went back to work that day with a huge emptiness in me (I don’t know why).  Didn’t do anything that night (no studying, no football, no movies, etc…) except try to determine why I should or should not go.  I didn’t sleep well monday night.  Tuesday afternoon I returned the invite saying I would not attend.  It was rough.  I have very few sleepless nights.  Monday was on par with those.  There is almost no way to adequately express what I’m thinking.  The reason I say almost is because I’m sure there are words out there, but I cant think straight right now as is.

To make matters more interesting, she has already received my invite back stating I would not attend.  She wanted to know why I said no.  If you want to know why I’m not going, don’t ask me via a mutual friend.

I think that’s all.
