welcome to raleigh

greetings from the mid atlantic! i have officially been a north carolinian for the past 57 hours. raleigh has welcomed me with 77 degree weather and a getup kids show that is everything you come to expect of a getup kids show 12 years after the release of "something to write home about".

since ive last blogged much has happened in my life, as you know i have escaped the harsh winter that new england is cursed with. but you may be unaware of my other news. as of 2/12/11 rachel and i have agreed to enjoy each others company for the life ahead. in laments terms, we got engaged. as i rode across the beach on my trusty steed, rachel couldnt help but say yes to a lifetime of rjproof'ing.

keep posted for a date, and stay glued to those mailboxes for a snazzy save the date.

so presently i have a 3 bedroom apartment in raleigh all to myself....rachel and mikey will soon follow but until then ill be living off a camping chair and a mattress....livin large!

...that damn sasquatch

so it official, its that time of the year, when football is over, baseball has yet to start, and basketball and hockey are at their pointless mid-season. but no worry, pitchers and catchers report soon, and lets hope jake peavys shoulder stays attached to his body.

ive had the pleasure of finding billy madison, happy gilmore, and harold and kumar 2 for the everyday low price of 5$ each. billy and happy being the classics that they are, make good company for harold and kumar...who i might add have a third installment coming this xmas with "a very harold and kumar xmas".

the countodown is on...2 weeks from today I will be planting my roots in raleigh, nc and plan to jump on whatever bandwagon is more successful in the ncaa tournament.

ahhhhh...men

good morning to you on this super bowl sunday. i have my home made aaron "mr." rodgers jersey ready to go, and pray that my super bowl squares pay for a few tanks of gas down to north carolina.

speaking of north carolina...the news has broke, and i will soon to be a resident of the great state of north carolina, raleigh to be exact. come march i have very tough decions to make...unc? nc state? or duke? no matter what i choose, what is most important is that there will be no snow to be shoveled.

i do find promise in the 2011 chisox, with exception of the hot corner and a replacement peavy through may. needless to say, i look forward to the season, and hope for a twinkie/tiger free year.

"There's a crack in the edge at the end of the world
where I will sit with my love in this fluorescent swirl
eat us up, break it down, to the tiniest cell
in our room with a view and a window to heaven"
