Burritos and Bathrooms

My lovely wife is convinced I'm obsessed with burritos and bathrooms and that I need to share my expertise in a blog. So I'm taking her advice and I'm going to do reviews on different burritos I eat and different bathrooms I visit.

The first burrito reviewed is from Harry's Roadhouse on Old Las Vegas Highway. This burrito is still in my belly, and let me just say that it feels good! What makes a good burrito is what it's wrapped in and what it's coved with, ie the tortilla and the red chili. The tortilla was mediocre but the red chili was different. It was tasty and a bit spicy. Not as spicy as I would like, but still good. The chicken inside was a bit rubbery, but there were black beans to accompany this chicken. I love black beans. A big plus was the sour cream and guacamole that came on the side. Yes! I love them both. The restaurant itself was nice too. It was an older building with great art pieces on the wall. Overall I give the burrito from Harry's Roadhouse 3 1/2 beans out of 5. :)

I Don't Have Pig Fever and I Don't Need the Vaccination

It's official! I have proof that I graduated from a university. I think I just might make copies of this thing and hand them out to random people on the street. I don't know what I'll say when I hand it out...I probably won't do that at all. I don't feel like I really accomplished anything. People aren't giving me jobs yet. I think I would like to get a second degree... I want to study something that I'm actually interested in now. My econ degree is just my safety net. Now I can study things I really like...MxPx, maps, the weather, phone books, 8-track technology, motherboards, AMD chips, nvidia, Urban Terror, the forest... Maybe I can become a roady for some rock band. I know how to tune a guitar, I know how sound levels are supposed to be. I can learn. I can travel with any band and tune your guitars, and make sure you can hear yourself. ...A degree in the forest would be cool. Or maybe a degree in Ski Resort management. That would be sweet. I could live in Vermont or Utah and do that.

Last night Lindsey and I went to Camel Rock Casino. We joined the players club and received ten promotional dollars to gamble with. We didn't win anything, but we did have fun, and we didn't spend any of our own money, except the money we used in gas.

Right now I'm blogging and she's watching True Blood on the laptop on the bed. I think I could get into that show, but I just don't have the attention span to just start it. The only shows I have really immersed myself in were Scrubs, The Office, Spin City, and of course Family Guy.

I can't wait for tomorrow! We're going to be on a plane for Vegas! I'm going to eat so much crab and lobster! I'm going to ride some roller coasters. I might even dance a little. I'll even do the C-Walk for some of my old friends. But first I'll read some books on theology and philosophy. I want to know more. I want to ponder things. I want to be skeptical, but I want to find answers. I want knowledge.

I can't wait for my glasses to come in. I can't see that well.

Here are some pictures of my house in Santa Fe and of my diploma and of my animal.

Borderline Hurricane, but Tropical Storm Santa Fe

Last night at around 3 am really loud and obnoxious storm rolled through Santa Fe, NM. Lindsey and I were already having a hard time sleeping when this monster arrived. Booming thunder, flashing lightning, pounding rain, and roaring wind. I felt like I should have been manning some sails on a pirate ship, but I was too sleepy.

So yeah, Missouri. I can't wait! Lindsey said she talked to Kelly about a house in Moberly, it's only $365 a month. I'm looking for a job out there now, no one has offered me anything yet. I'm thinking about asking for a transfer to the Starbucks in Columbia, MO. I would keep my benefits that I have now... But I do have a degree from University and I'd like to use it. I'm thinking about looking for a school that offers meteorology, the study of meteors. And if that doesn't pan out, then I'll seriously look for something in meteorology, the study of the atmosphere with a focus on weather. I just love the weather so much. If I had the funds I would put up my own little data collection center up. If I had something then I could tell you exactly how high the winds were at my house last night, and how much precipitation we received. I can tell you that it's 61 degrees Fahrenheit here now, and it's 63 degrees Fahrenheit in St. Paul, MN, and it's 59 degrees Fahrenheit in Portland, ME.


Here are some random pictures of random events from this last month:

Video and More Pics

Here's a facsinating video of our train ride! I'll also post more photos.

Photos of the Train

We had an amazing train ride on the New Mexico Rail Runner. We were lucky enough to ride in the very last seat on the very last car, so we had views of everything around us. I even had a great view of the speedometer. The train reached a high speed of 80 mph. I was really impressed, and I'm sure Lindsey would have been impressed to (or not) but she was knee deep in a book she was enjoying. I took many pictures and I'm going to post them right now. Enjoy.

Train

Lindsey and I rode the railrunner this weekend. It was an exciting weekend and I have a bunch of pictures. I'm excited to share them. But now I have to go back to work.

Rain

I want joy! There is so much negativity thrown at me all the time. A lot of people just don't care about anything. They have to get ahead, and they have to think about themselves. That's just how it is. Why is it so hard to just be friendly? It's not worth stressing about. Humans hate more than they love. It's sad. I want to try to bring love to people all the time, but sometimes I forget. Today was bad, but I hope I can be a better person tomorrow. I want to learn. ...

It's really overcast tonight in Santa Fe. I like it. It makes me feel like I'm in a different city, maybe London, maybe Berlin, maybe Buffalo, NY. I know those cities don't have adobe buildings and Mariachi music in the background, but it's easy to pretend sometimes. I made myself a soy mocha.. yum. It's a perfect rainy day weather beverage. I pray tonight is better than today was. Maybe I'll see someone who gives me joy... Who gives me a reason not to whine about the way the world is.

I was about to write about how much I love The Receiving End of Sirens... They're okay, but then I selected the song Glass to the Arson by Anberlin on my mp3 player then hit play and realized how much better they are. Anberlin is probably the best band that has ever existed. Better than the Stones, better than Zepplin, better than Nirvana, better than my cat Floofy (not by much). They're just so good.

We're going to Albuquerque right now. I'm excited to see our friends and hang out. Also, Lindsey has an interview for a job there. We're going to have a good time in ABQ. I hope it's not too hot there, I'm wearing a long sleeve shirt and jeans.
