Home again in Indiana

Well, I had all the best intentions to keep posting, but as you can see , it didn't go that way. I was in the middle of a post when I thought my Laptop crashed. Luckily, I had realized it was only that the battery had ran out. (I plugged it into a lamp that had outlets, which was fine until I turned the switch to the outlet that the lamp was plugged into, off.)

So, I suppose I have some catching up to do in the next bit.

From K.C. to L.A.

Well, time for more of the Journey. Last night, Anthony and I indeed got our Teahen shirts. We also had pretty sweet seats. However, we saw this for two hours longer than anticipated;Finally the rain let up. Before it did, some idiot had to play slip'n'slide, followed by being dogpiled and arrested by several police officers. He got a good cheer out of most everyone there, along with these people: I totally forgot to mention that the Sox won Monday night. They won Tuesday as well. The only other thing out of the norm was this: That's right, its Dave the Horn Guy. He did Take Me Out to the Ballgame. He got booed. A lot.

Now on to L.A.

Does this make you feel better about prices in Indiana?

Too tired to post more.... more to come.

Waiting

I'm currently waiting to board my flight to LAX here in Kansas City. Yay for free Internet. For now, here is something to ponder.

Ghengis Khan and Royalty

So, yesterday I got to eat at this wonderful establishment.Its a stir fry place not unlike The FlatTop Grill. Good stuff.


The main event for yesterday was witnessing this:

By the way, if you didn't know already, I like taking pictures. With that said, here are a few more shots from last night:
A little pre-game stretching.
A.J. Pierzynski attempting something.The 2nd baseman on my fantasy team, Mark Grudzielanek.

Southpaw Mark Buehrle in mid-throw.

Let's just say those aren't sinks.

Tonight Anthony and I are going back to catch another game. Tonight's is T-shirt Tuesday, with the promotional item being the t-shirt jersey of No. 24, Mark Teahen. Its supposed to storm tonight, so hopefully the game will still be played.

Chillin' in a coffeehouse

So, the trip to Kansas City was fun and pretty smooth. Yesterday was the first time in seven years to fly... before 9/11. I was a little frazzled at the airport. I had no clue what to do, so luckily I just followed exactly what the dude in front of me did. Its weird to see everyone scurrying to take off their belts and their shoes in order to get past the TSA checkpoint.

There's nothing like having a nosebleed out of the blue, and right before boarding the plane.

I experienced the new rollercoaster feel once again. I was completely uneasy as we were sitting on the runway prior to taking off. Once we actually starting moving, all uneasiness was gone.

The ride was actually pretty turbulent. I don't think the Captain ever took the fasten seat belt sign off.

My first impression of the KC area is that its so green. I don't quite know how to explain it, but its like the whole landscape and the area is alive.

Time for some pics:

My first rental car, the Mazda 3 (Its still new)
Sweet nectar of life at the Jerusalem Cafe. (My first in over three months)

A Bluetooth earpiece that lost its owner. (Score one for humanity.)

A small glimpse of the Country Club Plaza - a pretty sweet area of businesses and whatnot right next to the apartment complex where my good friend Anthony resides.
Scooter's Coffeehouse - where Anthony works and where this long post is originating from.

Well, I mean to post something more profound, but there is still plenty of time this week for that. Until then, happy blogging.

Hello from Kansas City

A picture is worth a thousand words... figure this one out for yourself.

Ready now.

I'm ready to be on my way... well at least at want to be. Between the desire to watch the Subway 500, straightening up the homestead, hopefully packing at some point for tomorrow, and certainly not the least of these preparing for NYGO class, I'm going to be up for awhile tonight. It seems like a fitting ending to a crazy week before a vacation.

Dang it, I just thought of something to post, but I need to work on it yet. Who knows, Maybe I'll post it from a Coffee shop in Kansas City.

Dreams.

Anyone have whacked out dreams? Here's one for you: I don't remember all of it, but I remember delivering camel sandwiches to several offices around a plaza. Later on, I noticed everybody in reverent worship, be it weeping, singing, and whatnot while that song by Casting Crowns... "Voice of Truth" was playing. I saw someone I haven't seen in 10 years who was crying, and gave him a big hug. He asked me why I did that. I told him that no matter what he had done he was loved. Probably the most outlandish part of the whole thing was that I was singing along with the song in a non-mocking manner.

Bored

Well, I had great intentions of getting to bed at a decent time, but I see Relient K is on Leno tonight.

Got the important stuff for my trip finalized and reserved, I'm a gettin' excited.

My favorite song of the latest Switchfoot album has a music video. Here it is...
