12/30/99: Back from Phoenix now. It was a good trip. Kevin arrived in town on Wednesday night. I got to hang out with him for the last two days. We went to see a Suns game on Thursday. I saw some cool bars: Timber Wolf Pub ($6 first glass, $2 refills - keep the glass), Mill Cue Club, Mill Aveunue Brewery, Coopertown (owned by Alice Cooper).

I hope every one had a good Christmas. I got tons of clothes, luggage from my parents, a Palm Pilot 3e from Angela, and misc. other stuff. The Palm rocks. I really love it already. I put everybody's information in it. Send me any new information about yourself so that I can be sure that it is up to date.

I am still hosting a NYE party tomorrow. I am expecting a resonable turn out, however, it doesn't matter to me cuz I will be with my girl and my best friends. I am going to get one keg of beer. The party will be broad cast on the web at my webpage.

12/20/99: Monday in Phoenix. It has been a pretty exciting trip. I got off the plane and we went to a relaxing bar. Played some trivia and enjoyed some drunks karokeing. We left that bar and headed to another bar. however, we got pulled over on the way and Toby got a DUI!! That kind of put a damper on the trip. But we have done pretty good. On friday, Toby graduated. Bob came into town. I met their friend Dawn and the 4 of us went to a bar and hung out. I shot -17 on Rancho. The guys won't play me any more!! Maybe I will challenge them left handed!!

Saturday was pretty boring. I fixed Toby's computer and then we just sat at home and watched TV. Sunday we watched football and then we went to the Arizona Cardinals game. It was a blast. 2nd Pro football game for me this year. I saw a paper airplane travel about 110 yards. It was quite impressive. I guess that says something about the crappy team we were watching!!

Thats all i know right now. See you after Christmas!! Oh BTW, it is like 70 in the day and 40 at night. (kinda hard to pick out one outfit for the day)

12/16/99: Well today I head to Phoenix! Toby is graduating (kinda) from ASU. It will be really fun. Bob Carlson will also be meeting me in Phoenix to celebrate! I return home on the 24th, in the afternoon. Today I also sent out an invitation to my NYE party. I hope you can all make it! I know it will be a good time. Please try and get me an accurate count of people, so that I will know whether to get 1 or 2 kegs!! I have 2 on reserve at Broadway Liquors. Here is the invitation I sent out, just in case you didn't get it.:

Hello Friends, It is official. I will be hosting a New Years Eve Party this year. There will be much dancing, drinking, and celebrating! Everyone is welcome and advised to spend the night. The party will begin around 8PM and end when the last people go to bed. I will supply beer to drink. Please bring any other beverages you would like. (Champagne, Wine, Hard Liquor, etc). Snack food will be provided but feel free to bring more! The party will be a theme party. Please feel free to choose a decade and/or style and dress accordingly. Futuristic atire is also welcome.

This weekend was great! The guys played games at my house on Friday and Hooley's house on Saturday. It was very fun and very inexpensive! BJ won the Monopoly game against: Me, Eric, Jack, Jeremy and Chad. During the long Monopoly game, I taught Jack Stratego and then kicked his butt. BJ and I won the Trivial Pursuit Game as a team against: Jen/Eric and Jack/Pat.
On Saturday, Chad and I went 3 and 0 in Euchre against the team on Eric and Jeremy. Then Chad, Eric, Jeremy, Mark W. and I played an intense game of Risk! Chad and Jeremy were rookies. Mark was the first out (compliments of me!) Then I was kicked by Jeremy. Eric was next and finally Jeremy beat Chad. (sounds to me like the experts took it easy on the rookies...) After Mark and I were out we played Stratego. I defeated Mark.
Sunday we played computer games at Eastern World. CounterStrike, Revolt, and Quake 3 were the big hits.

12/3/99: Well the DWB concert was canceled. Raw deal!

In other news: My Girlfriend dyed her hair blonde. It is really cute. I like dating a blonde!!

I got a new computer at work. It is a Celeron 550 with 128 Meg of RAM - much better than the Pentium 120 that I had before! Yeah!

I ordered a new 19" monitor today. It will be awesome!! Dual input. .25 dot pitch. 1600x1200 at 78 Hz. Fits in the spot of a 15" monitor. It is the PS790 made by ViewSonic

11/23/99: The DWB concert is at Jimmy the Saints on the corner of University and Willow Knolls. I can't wait to go there.
