a week and a half of craziness

so in the last week and a half my life has kind of picked up a lot. i applied for a large number of jobs at cabela's and had two interviews in different departments. i seemed to have got the job in footwear selling shoes. i figure eh what the hell why not. so i went to that place after never being there before to going there 4 times in 3 days (1 was with my brother and godfather. anyways i drove to the upper peninsula this weekend for a family vacation with family and extended family. i drove home to pick up my mom then we followed my brother 6 hours away. if you have ever heard of such places as Cederville, Sault STE. Marie or even Hessel which was where we stayed i would strongly suggest going there. there are about 9 cabins there and my family and others occupied 7 of those cabins. i used to go there every year on this week from the age of six to 14 when i stopped going due to football. we finally made it back this year and it was exactly how we left it. i never thought about it until just now, but my favorite memory of my father and I occurred maybe 10 feet from where i slept the whole 5 days. we had so much fun with monday being a 16 person euchure tournament. my brother and i set our goals high to get very drunk. i drank about a mini keg of oberon which equates to about 15 beers of oberon. he drank a fifth of captains. i was still coherent while he was not. he ended up feeding the fish with his dinner. we talked and shared stores on the dock although i may not remember much of what was said. it ended with me taking care of him while he threw up all over the side of the dock. he then proceeded to pass out and fall asleep on the dock with his little pug of a dog laying right next to him protecting him. i finally convinced him to go back to the cabin where he slept outside for most of the night with the dog. the next day was somewhat horrible we drove the 30 miles or so north to sault ste. marie to visit the restaurant known as "the antlers" most yoopers will know about that place with lots of dead stuffed animals all over the place. we came back that night and just hung out a little. the next night which was last night we headed to the smallest casino that i have ever seen, my first american casino! drinks were 1.75 for a pint and we stayed for a few hours. then since it was my last night we went to the bar with my cousin his girlfriend rickets and brandy. it was a decent time and we were able to drink some oberon. today my mother and i were leaving hessel, so i was luckily able to go tubing on my uncles boat, my arms are very sore and my pride is a little broken due to my shorts falling off while flying through the air. i was able to stop at mackinac city to eat and get some taffy then headed back home.

that right there kids is the week and a half in review. i came home to a pleasant surprise of free lions tickets for the preseason game against the browns should be afun time since anna has never been to ford field. then the tigers game on monday and the counting crows on friday. i look forward to the week ahead.

sia - breathe me

have you ever had a song that could describe a period of time in your life? i feel like i have found that song for the period of 2005-2007. this song is called breathe me by sia. i will post the video of the song, but if you watch intervention it was on the previews for the new season, or the final song in the last scene of six feet under, i have also found it in a new coca cola commercial promoting the olympics. this song is special to me because of lyrics such as " Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,Yeah I think that I might break I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe" this seems to describe me as a senior in high school and i honestly cannot get enough of this song here is the video:

six feet under

so anna and i set out almost 2 months ago to watch the series known as "six feet under" it was broadcast from 2001-2005. upon watching the first two episodes while in Ohio, we felt we should move forward with watching the series. it was 5 seasons of about 12 episodes per season with them being an hour long each. now for those unfamiliar with the show, each episode starts with a death followed by a funeral which the fisher family organizes. the last two weeks saw us watch the final 12 episodes. the final three were extremely sad and i found myself starting to cry. the final episode showed a somewhat closure to the whole series, i felt that because of the last episode it closed the show very well and although extremely sad i am very glad that i saw the whole series. i would suggest this to anyone who wishes to watch a well written sometimes funny and never boring show.


in other news, i got a job at home depot. i find myself not really wanting to work there because i will no longer have weekends off and will be thrust into the world of retail once again. we will see how this pans out but i would prefer not to work there for 9 an hour and be forced to give up things like vacations planned and concerts that i have already committed to. but i don't; know it is a job for now however i will keep looking and hoping for a part time 9-5 job and although i hate working weekends would be willing to work at least on day over the weekend. whatever.
