Before too long I realized that I need an internship to beef up my resume...since there is nothnig on it but basketball stuff right now. After applying for a few jobs (an almost getting mauled by a german shephard) I found my home..as an intern with the Kansas City Chiefs. Other than accidently saying "good deal" at the end of most business conversations (it just slips out) and not having much to do its been pretty fun.
A big plus for me is that interns often have to move stuff around the office.. and most of those things are in high places. Thats when i come in and steal the show. Of course I still get the usual "how tall are you?" questions..but at least this way I can show off a little too. If you need to change your light bulb... Im your guy
Off to work for now...

Smelling the roses
Its finals week. I've been in the library all day..almost and I cant concentrate so I decided to create a list of all of the little things that i enjoy in life.
Using Handicapped Toilets in public restrooms
Almost every flavor of ice cream ever invented
Snuggies
Oreo cookies and milk
A well prepared ham sandwhich
foot massages
back massages
back massages located on my .... you've seen the movie
using kleenexs when you run out of toilet paper
A Quiznos sub..instead of a Subway sub
Those crunchy ice cubes they have at sonic
Family guy on three different stations (FOX, TBS, cartoon network)
Hats..when you dont have time to shower
Automatic transmission, compared to manual
The fact that clowns are slowly being phased out as a form of entertainment (who likes clowns?)
Flip flops, velcro shoes and any other footware that doesnt require laces.
and finally, twist off bottle caps. Those save a lot of extra time.
That seems like a pretty good list, and I have a final in about 9 hours so I think I'll call it a day.

A big event worth blogging about
Ok, last weekend I went to the Kentucky derby. I don't even know what to say after that. Was it awesome? Yes. Did i have an amazing time? Yes. Did I get so excited after hearing the news that I had to change my pants? No, but almost...(I was watching TV at the time so I wasnt as focused on the news). I dont think I have ever seen a better looking group of girls in my entire life. Whoever keeps coming to the midwest and spreading tales about all of the beautiful girls down in the south is exactly right, I might've seen three bad looking girls the entire day, if you dont count the old folks. If only I could've made it out to the bars that night...
The tradition down there is to have a mint julep, a mixed drink with whiskey and a mix of some mint flavored beverage. I wouldn't quite say it tastes like like christmas morning.. it tastes more like columbus day, but they were definetely strong and the glass they served them in was yours to keep, so I was down for a few drinks. *as a side note, there were only a handful of people who were actually drunk at the race... one was passed out on a toilet.
i think the lesson learned from the trip.. besides that all southern girls are sexy, is that I should never bet on a horse race ever again. In the five times that I've bet on a horse, going back to dusty, bryce and my wager on the belmont stakes earlier in the year, I have made exactly $0. The race before the big one, I think it was run on the turf track on the infield, I bet across the board on a horse ($60 worth) only to watch it struggle across the finish line well behind the leader. My 12-year-old sister bet twice on Super Saver, the horse that one it all.. maybe I'll bet on dogs.
One of the coolest parts of the entire day though was seeing some of the famous people there. I actually shook hands, and stood eye to eye, with shane battier (bryce, moose, eat your hearts out). He was a gentle type, and oddly reminded me of coach Loos..maybe it was the bald head. I dont want to sound like a sap but I couldnt have met a nicer guy.
Btw a big part of the kentucky derby is the hats, and I have to give kudos to my parent's friend TJ for giving me an extra hat of his. Nothing says southern like a fedora and glass of whiskey.
