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"

managing your blog is like having a 2nd job...is the check in the mail?
happy nfl playoffs! the pats are predicted to win it all just as in 2007, and we all know how that turned out. so for goodness sakes, lets keep our fingers crossed.
i had the pleasure of attending "the met" aka "the met cafe" reincarnated in the bucket pawtucket ri. the venue itself is great, perfect size for all those emo.....excuse me....scene kids to watch bands play aggresively and not be judged by characters form the jersey shore. as for the location, make sure to lock your car, and keep your belongings with you.
check out rachel's bro's band...theyre "invogue" and have a stage presence that i've yet to see in a local band:
sleep city
rachel and i have found that wheel of fortune for the wii is proabably the most unfair game ever created.
big news coming in the near future...stay tuned.
"you cant love where your going, unless you love where you come from"

happy holidays, you...
happy holidays, you...
to quote the great blink-182
xmas season is in full swing, and i have yet to finish my xmas shopping. xmas is that time of year, where presents are exchanged amongst people that u see consistently throughout the year, and enjoying the company of one another throughout the year is a gift enough, or its that time of the year where u exchange presents with the people you only see once a year, and seeing each other for that one moment should be a gift in its self.
but who doesnt like presents?
scrooged, jingle all the way, and christmas vacation are 3 xmas movies that should be on anybodys xmas viewing list.
my immune system has been on the fritz and so has my computer...curses!
did u know that diddy diry money isnt p diddys new name? but rather a group? im getting too old for diddy and his antics.
merry christmas to you and your friends and family. i hope its stress free and you get that turbo man your father promised you on christmas eve morning.

my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
as i listen to kanyes' "my beautiful dark twisted fantasy" for the first time, i can already guarantee a better album than 808's and heartbreaks...i have yet to hear the use of auto tune...jesus walks!
speaking of music...this past week has been musical overload...ive started to discover the equivilant of an emo jesus to todays scene, known as craig owens. girl talk released his new album with little warning. ke$ha released an ep thats more crude and humurous than her last album, and i just admited to listening to ke$ha....theres more to this musical onslaught, but ill leave that to your own musical tastes.
dont lie and tell me this didnt make you feel warm inside.
t minus 14 days untill rach and i become rowdy, bleacher bums at the pats/jets monday night game.
the job search has commenced once again. my credentials have improved and so has my job search options...wish me luck.

paranormal
woah woah woah...rach and i just saw paranormal activity 2 and i just got my second dose of anxiety induced heart palpations. if paranormal 1 was an A then paranormal 2 is a strong B+. i do recommend seeing this movie and i do recommend not being home alone after the movie...ooops
as i watch the season opener of the celtics and heat, i now realize why lebron is just so infuriating...its his relentless matching color schemes! the head bands, the bracelets, the mouth guards...the lip stick!
as rachel and i walked into king richards fair this past weekend I couldnt help to think of the south park episode when the class visits a living museum where the employees refuse to break character. i was in awe of people's overall weirdness and enjoyment in pretending to be a knight while they drink mt. dew. by the end of the day, the joust enticed myself and good company to heckle the dark knight and call his mother a wench.
ive decided to take part in my first state election...vote or die!
