Well, H&R Block has still not gotten back to me. I guess I can’t blame them, since I have had all contact with them through a woman who doesn’t even work there. I guess she should be the one to blame.
Yesterday I went to some temp places, and they still didn’t have anything for me to do. This is awful…
I have a few phone calls to make today, and I’m really considering getting a delivery job at this sub shop up the street. I may just go and check that out today…

In good news, Kim’s 2 youngest brothers were out here this past weekend. It was a blast taking them ice skating, bowling, putt putting, laser tagging, etc. I think I made a few of those words up, but you get the idea. This weekend, Liam and Bobbi are coming back out again to visit!

In my boredom, I have redone the Pig-Fest site, so that all of my websites look very professional now. This is all in hopes of getting some freelance jobs with web design, since that is still one thing that I love to do. Anyway, check out the site here: Pig-Fest

Oh yeah, the comedy show with Lewis Black was awesome! I thought his performances was great, as was Mitch Hedburg’s. I didn’t really care for Dave Attell though, he just made fun of people the whole time…

Chicago was a good time as usual. Always fun hanging with Tracey, Liam, Joe and Pat, since we used to do it all the time. It sucks that we are all moving all over the place, but I guess it is bound to happen. It was also fun partying with all the regulars, and even the randoms too. :) It was incredible to see that many people at an OAR show and especially to see everyone leaving after they were done even though NERD still was up to play. We didn’t stick around either. :)

Southwest is an interesting way to fly. The seating is all GA, meaning first come first serve. Note to self (or anyone that flies SW): show up early if you want to sit with those you are flying with…

Half.com is an awesome site. I’ve been selling all my old school books that I don’t want any more, and also been buying CD’s for way cheap!!!

Today is the big day for H&R Block, they are supposed to let me know yes/no if I have a job. No one else has lived up to their deadlines so we’ll see if this really happens. Wish me luck!

Hopefully you find the new location of the “journal” which is referred to as news. I hope you all like the new site design…

Labor Day weekend was great. The fireworks in Cincy were awesome as usual, and the JFK show at Mad Frog was SICC!

This weekend we are headed to Chicago to see O.A.R. and the Sprite Mix Tour!

Oh yeah, my cousin Jeff is engaged! Congratulations to him and Lindsay! I can’t believe I almost forgot…

Pig-Fest was incredible as always. It rained, but other than that it was fun for everyone. Check out the pictures: http://pigfest.edpaffjr.com

My Aunt Stefanie had her baby! A little girl named Elizabeth Ann. She is the first Busch cousin in quite some time!

Kim and I have planned some trips. We are going back to Cincinnati for Labor Day and to see the fireworks and everything. Then the weekend after that we are going to Chicago to party with all of my O.A.R. friends and see a show! Later in Sept. we are going to Denver to visit her friend Josh and to go to a beer tasting festival. That should be really cool and fun. I’ve never been to Denver or anywhere in the west before, besides California…

We are also going home again sometime in October and going to a wedding for a friend of hers. There is always stuff to do!

I’ve actually had a little luck with my job searching. I may get a temp position with H&R Block staring Sept. 8th and going through January or February, with another position becoming available at that time as well. It sounds like something that will be alright to do for awhile. It’s a job in quality assurance, so I would be testing software and web forms. Easy enough. :) Wish me luck for that. I need to find something to do…

That is it for now, hope everyone is well!!!

So yeah, my cousin Lauren was in the hospital here in KC with a case of mono and strep. Kim and I visited her one night while she was here, and Lauren gave me shit for not writing about it. So there ya go. :)

O.A.R. show tonight, with 311. Two of my favorite bands sharing the stage. It should be a great time, as long as we have enough money for beer. :)

I get to go back to Cincinnati tomorrow. My bags are already packed, I’m ready to go back for a weekend. Pig-Fest is really shaping up to be a great one. The weather looks great, and everyone is calling about it. They seem very excited and so am I!!!

I might go to a G Love show tomorrow night with Sarnovsky, the old roomies, and whomever else wants to go. That should be a good time, if it happens…

Well, still no job for me. I’m really pushing everything here, but it still isn’t helping. It may be time to start looking at temp agencies.

Liam and Bobbi came to visit this weekend. We went to an OAR show, and had a blast as always. One thing I know after this weekend, I’m not a big fan of Steak and Shake.

Pig-Fest is this weekend!! I’m really excited for that. The drive might suck, but it will be worth it when we get home! Everyone better show up!

Saw Finding Nemo tonight. Good little movie and quite funny.

We found a bar that has REAL darts here. It’s called the Flea Market, and it actually has a small flea market inside of it. Pretty interesting place, but it was good to play darts!

Things are still going well, and the apartment is looking really nice. My pets are all fine, and I even picked up some guppies. Hopefully I can have some babies sometime, and if I get too many, I guess they will become turtle food. :)

I found a place to play hockey, but that won’t start until September, so I may need to find something else to do. Which reminds me, I have gone running with Kim twice now. The last time we ran 2 1/4 miles. It was too much for me.

I also have a severe ear infection, but I went to an urgent care place and it is getting better.

Well this week I’m really gonna start trying to find a job. Once I run out of things to do around here, I’ll be getting very bored…

Blogger has been messed up so my entries were not showing up. Kansas City is going great. It’s hot, but has cooled down this week. I really enjoy being around Kim all the time. I still have not found anything but cover bands here, but maybe sometime soon. Looks like my cousin Lauren is coming out here for softball next week and my mom might come along. Then Kim’s sister Bobbi and her friend Molly and Liam are coming out the next weekend. Then it will be time to go back to cincy for Pig-Fest. I have a job interview setup for tomorrow, and it is looking really good. I met one of the VP’s of the company at a bar that one of the ladies Kim works with goes to all the time. I’ll have to let you know how that goes.

The apartment is great and in a perfect location. We have been cleaning it up and organizing for awhile, and of course buying lots of things for it.

More to come later, it’s dinner time!

A little slacking once again, but you really can’t complain. I’ve been busy doing pretty much nothing and it has been wonderful. For those of you who don’t know, I will be moving to Kansas City on the 18th. Kim is leaving today to go there and start work. I am really really excited about this move and I’m sure it will be a blast. As of now, I will be keeping my same cell phone number, so you better keep in touch!

Highlights of the past couple weeks:
FBTE Festival in Cleveland. Great times with all the board people!!!!
Deer Creek. Isn’t it always the best time! In fact all the DMB shows were great. I recommend seeing one show of this tour if you can!
Fighty’s birthday bash was excellent, we even had some of the OAR board folk come down for it and almost got kicked out of Murphy’s. There is a first…

More to come later. I’m sure this will be a boring week for me with Kim gone, but hopefully I can see all my friends at least once more before the move. Talk to you later…
