Fishing, Beer and Fishing Beer

Ah, yes, that is right. it seems that whenever we go out on an outing (?) alchoholic beverages cannot be left behind, G-d forbid. so fishing was fun yesterday. no, let me rephrase that... sitting in a boat in beautiful 80 degree sunny weather was fun. yes the point of the trip was too fish but I did'nt come equipped with the correct equipment, as if my body was'nt enough, so could'nt really fish. In fact the only fishing i did was of a beer can out of the water. it seems our friends in the other boat, after or in the midst of their 4 beers a person, were too drunk to throw it into our boat. oh well we got it anyway. but don't ask how long it took cuz it took me a very long time to get the swing of our canoe and how the thing moves and what not. it must have taken us a good 5 minutes to get moving just to begin with after rowing around in circles. But anyway the lake was pretty chilled and relaxing so no complaints there. In fact it was pretty sweet that even though we were on the water for 2.5 hrs we were only charged for on hour, how that happened I never really understood. Then we tried to barbeque at the park but that didn't really work. the grill was dead, propane or something, so we had to go back to a friend's house and deal with it there. I want to say the end of the meal was ruined with mike lowell snagging Melvin Mora's shot down the third base line, but unfortuantely, the orioles are 1-11 against the red sox this season so a loss was kind of expected. but i gotta give them credit, they definately played hard and as usual they have a tendency to play up or down to the competition. (eg. they'll lose 11-9 to the sox and 4-1 to the royals) While i'm talking sports, this Clinton Portis news is not good at all. Hopefully he'll be back by the season opener in a few weeks or else every game this season will similar to last night's drubbing by the Bengal's in which they beat the Skins 19-3.
Anyway this is my last week at work which is pretty good. I am looking forward to finishing but much "more forward(?!) to next week's roadtrip. I can't say I'm dying to leave the office but i'm defiantely ready for a well deserved vacation. especailly since it is well known what comes after that vacation.
So the results from the mountain dew slurpee are in. Exerpt from his report card: ..."When Mountain entered my class a few months ago he had alot of potential. Unfortuantely, it seems to me, he got much too bogged down on worrying about his fellow peers, the other slurpees. In the process he did not have the energy to work on bettering himself academically as well as tastily. Therefore I look forward to him focusing on himself a little more and not get overwhelmed by the success of his buddies and therefore utilize himself to his full potential in the near future. I will be checking up on him on a regular basis and will try and give constructive feedback. o and of course he's a pleasure to have in class, as long as he doesn't make too big of a mess during art, i mean slurpee days." It seems this evaluation was done on one of Mountain's bad days so we'll see if he can do better.
ok i'm really getting bored at work. i can't work on the database today like i ussually do. there's a whole bunch of traveling coming up for much of the office so i'm supposed to work on that, but it doesnt take 2 hrs to orbtiz a couple flights. so i'm bored even tho it took me 2 hrs to do this post. yes, that means i was doing some work in the middle. i thought i had something else to say, but since i can't remember maybe i'll remember it later. basically i won't b/c i don't blog often enough to remember things for 3 days straight. recommendations on that past point will not be granted attention.
have a fun day peepulz
