SO, apparently Michael Phelps actually raced just a CGI shark and many people who waited for it (apparently 57 minutes into an hour broadcast) were honked off as the marketing made it seem he was to race a real shark.

Random...

Sounds like your favorite resident of the great state of North Dakota will likely be moving away in the next couple months. Unless things fall through, this will be a great opportunity that should open doors down the road.

I don't think the me or the world is ready.. we'll see though. Plans can still fall through.



Hoping it'll be official in the next week or so.

The Pensacola FL area.

Wow. Talk about culture shock... your pale northern skin ready for that type of sun?

Pack some sunscreen, man. Reapply often.

Congrats again. ;)

Random Thoughts with ACamp1900:

I noticed Back to School stuff is slowly hitting stores out here... then it hit me... Once that comes and goes the Halloween stuff is next:

On Saturday I was in shock when I saw Reese's Cups shaped like pumpkins, Halloween M&Ms, and so on. It was 93 degrees and they have that shit on shelves? At least wait until after Labor Day.

I go through this internal struggle every year. I like nothing, NOTHING, more than the fall through Christmas season. Sports-wise, food-wise, weather-wise, holiday-wise... It's just the best. So when I see this stuff I get hyped, because it means the best time of year is so soon. But on the other hand, I also think like Gower that I wish we could wait until at least September.

Beers are, by far, the worst offender because by the time the weather is actually perfect for fall beers, they have put all the christmas/winter beers out. I don't mind putting it out early, but if you do that at least keep it around through November. It's pretty lame.

The fact that Stranger Things Season 2 comes out the Friday before Halloween, on top of all the other stuff I love about that time of year, has got me like:

I live at the edge of the desert... our summers are oppressive, so "Fall", is a very welcome change.

Fair enough. My boss runs our team out of LA and asked when it cools down over here, as she needs to make it back to the Austin office for a visit. I told her she'll need to wait until late in October.

I'm not looking for smypathy or people to feel sorry for me I just wanted to get this off my chest because it truly helps me and it's helping me get this mountain of guilt I have on my chest. I've been struggling with substance abuse for the past two years and on Tuesday I'm finally going to get help. I've been struggling with an addiction to Oxys for the past two years and I cold turkey'd it a month ago and it was the hardest and best thing I've ever done. I'm checking myself into a rehab facality on Tuesday and I never hit rock bottom but i need to do this before I die or my life just spirals out of control. So people always wondered why I could be such a douche bag at times it truly wasn't the real me. I haven't been posting much lately because of this but for a lot of you guys I see you as friends and people I talk to everyday.

I called the rehab facility and one of the first things I asked them was if I could have my free time to watch ND play from 2-6 and the guy chuckled. So even though I won't be able to probably watch every game this might be the hardest part for me lol. God it's gonna be so weird.

I guess the reason I'm making this post was I hope some of you keep me in your prayers and I'm sure a couple of you will understand exactly what I'm going through. Another reason I'm making this post is to bring notice to addiction because I know I'm not the only one going through this so if anyone is struggling please feel free to hit me up in the next few days or any time. My number is 920-621-3498. I hope no one is going through what I am but I'm gonna beat this and become the best man I know I can be. Thank you for everyone through their support. I love you guys and I will talk with you all soon.

Love, your friend

GB
