I&#8217;ve got the ultimate setup, HDTV, XBox 360, surround sound home theater system with everything set up properly (Gears of War was a mind blowing experience), and I&#8217;m excited.  Way excited.</p>
<p>Halo 3 has been getting stellar reviews, and the advertising has been incredible.  The screenshots look amazing, not quite Gears of War amazing, but definitely Halo 3 next gen amazing.  4 player co-op over XBox Live?  Yes, please.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be at Best Buy at midnight waiting to pick up my copy, it&#8217;s gonna be sweet.  I&#8217;ve got 12 liters of Game Fuel and Johnny&#8217;s coming on Saturday, we&#8217;re gonna blast through the single player&#8230; if anyone wants to join us over XBox Live, let me know.</p>

Anyway, it&#8217;s been real&#8230; I guess I&#8217;m moving out of the 918.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I planned to move to the OKC area in the Fall.  Besides just wanting a change in scenery, there were a few reasons for this move at first.</p>
<ul>
<li>Kelsey is going to college at OU in the Fall, it would be nice to be close to her.
<li>There was a job opportunity in OKC at Sprint for me.
<li>I have a lot of friends at OU and UCO.
</ul>
<p>So, I set a date of September 1st to be moved to Norman.  I had a job practically guaranteed at Sprint OKC, I had Ben as my roommate, and I had a few good reasons to move.  But I figured, why settle on the easy&#8230; I have some time, why not try to find a better job in Norman if possible.</p>
<p>While perusing Job listings in Norman, almost all of them specifically said: &#8220;Please apply in person&#8221;, this presented an issue as it was difficult to apply in person anywhere in Norman when I lived in Tulsa, but then I saw a few from OU, and figured that would be the perfect place to work&#8230; and I could apply to all of them online.  I made some calls, got some names, put together my resume, references, and cover letter, applied to a few different positions and crossed my fingers.</p>
<p>Well, yesterday, I got a call back for a interview with the OU IT department.  I go tomorrow for my interview at 3pm.  They sounded pretty excited about my qualifications over the phone.  I really hope this works out, as it would mean saving a lot of gas, making a LOT more money, and pretty much just being the perfect job for my life and career.  So wish me luck, it should go well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve added a few new things to my site and overall streamlined it.   I added some colors and a new header on the top to more represent my  Italian pride rather than my Tulsa pride.  While I like Tulsa, I won&#8217;t  always be a Tulsan, but I will always be Italian.  I can deal with  that.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;ve changed the &#8216;What I&#8217;m Doing&#8217; box into a &#8216;Daily Update&#8217; box  which makes more sense and also maybe encourages me to post a little  blurb everyday.  I think its a good change overall.  And there is a  webcam now, its always on, but not always interesting.</p>
<p>Finally, I&#8217;ve added a plugin that mirrors my blog to LiveJournal which  is what most of my friends use.  So now they can see my posts without  having to check my site.  It does force them to go to my site to comment  though&#8230; because hey, I need page views.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still trying to improve the site as much as I can, there are lots of  plugins for Wordpress, and I&#8217;m always trying new things.  It&#8217;s a website  about me though, so it can only be so interesting. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this week has been cool.  I&#8217;ve been staying at my parents house  while they&#8217;ve been out of town.  It&#8217;s been fun.  I&#8217;ve been getting to  spend lots of time with Kelsey, at her house, at my house, at the  movies.</p>
<p>Me and Kelsey have been dating for 5 months now.  Time has flown by.  We  went to go see Knocked Up, it was ok.  I enjoyed watching it with  Kelsey.</p>
<p>My car is acting up, the radiator fan stays on and drains the battery  even when the car is off.  I have to disconnect the battery everytime  the car is off.  It&#8217;s a pain.  I brought it in Friday and they didn&#8217;t  fix it, I have to bring it in again tomorrow, oh well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve redone some of my site.  Decided not to use Flickr anymore.  Trying  to consolidate the number of web services I&#8217;m a member of.  Everyone  seems to be all about Facebook.  Now that everyone can join, the concept  is good, however I think Facebook apps may wind up turning Facebook into  even more of a browser bane than MySpace.  Right now, to get by on the  web, you need at least a MySpace and Facebook&#8230; its sooo frustrating.   I&#8217;ll post more about this in my technology section I think.</p>
<p>Finally, me and Kelsey are cruising through Wal-Mart and we this sign.   Apparently Wal-Mart and the devil are working together to find  children.  You&#8217;d think the person that makes these signs would wait for  10 more to be found before posting a sign like this. =P <!--Mime Type of File is image/jpeg -->

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, just getting through life right now.  Trying to get my finances  straightened out so I can move in the Fall has been a pain in the rear.   Everytime I think I&#8217;m getting ahead, something stupid happens and I fall  further behind.  Kelsey has been really supportive, I owe her one.</p>
<p>I got really sick last night, bad pains, throwing up, I coughed up some  blood, the works.  It sucked, I hurt so bad I had to leave work, I  thought I might be really really sick but I decided to sleep before  going to the hospital.  Low and behold, I woke up and felt fine, so who  knows.  I think it was a QT donut, but I don&#8217;t care, I love those things  and will continue to love them.</p>
<p>Everything has been going really really awesome with Kelsey.  We&#8217;re so  perfect together.  Her car broke after I changed the oil.  Long story,  but it wasn&#8217;t my fault, the car had 200,000 miles on it, and it was  ready to die.  So I was gonna buy her a scooter, however her mom vetoed  that idea, so I&#8217;m basically just helping Kelsey ride around town now.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re probably going to the Renn Faire on Sunday which should be fun.   And then next Saturday I have something awesome planned, but Kelsey  doesn&#8217;t know what it is, so I can&#8217;t post it here.  So life is good,  money is stressful, but bleh, I gots my Kelsey. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously, everything is rockin.  I&#8217;ve been spending so much time with Kelsey, it&#8217;s been totally awesome.  We&#8217;re going to prom in like 3 days, how insane is that?!  I&#8217;ve got a tux rented, I&#8217;ve got a corsage ordered.  We&#8217;ve got tickets, we&#8217;ve got our forms submitted tot he school.  We&#8217;re all set.</p>
<p>Kelsey&#8217;s mom has been exceptionally cool.  I&#8217;ve been hanging out at Kelsey&#8217;s house, I helped them open their pool, get their computer network set up.  I&#8217;ve helped Kelsey with her computer and also helped her clean the pool furniture, I&#8217;m really trying and it seems to be paying off.</p>
<p>Not really much else going on, went to soccer games last night, it was pretty fun.  Other than that, everything else is good too&#8230; Life is rockin, I&#8217;m moving and shaking&#8230; making waves.  Should be a good summer, I&#8217;m pretty excited.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I went over to Kelsey&#8217;s house last night after we went dress  shopping and was greeted nicely.  I didn&#8217;t sense any hostility or  anything which was really really nice.  I was a little worried going  over, but it was all unfounded I discovered.</p>
<p>Basically stayed over for a few hours, helped with Kelsey&#8217;s computer,  ate some bagel bites, and went for a walk with Kelsey.  It was a pretty  nice evening actually.  I&#8217;m going back over today to help set up Wifi at  Kelsey&#8217;s house.  I don&#8217;t know how late I&#8217;ll stay.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d say, honestly, this is a much better situation than when we were  hiding it from her mom.  It just feels better anyway.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much what&#8217;s been going on in my life recently.  I&#8217;ll  update again when something incredible happens. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And it&#8217;s going to be freaking awesome.  It&#8217;s kind of late notice, so I hope I can still find a tux.  We&#8217;ll see&#8230; I&#8217;m gonna poke around on Monday.  It&#8217;s really cool that Kelsey&#8217;s mom is letting us go.  I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s particularly fond of me, but she&#8217;s going to tolerate me, which is more than reasonable all things considered.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also completely redesigned my site&#8230; I think the last site was too busy/dark, this site is a lot lighter while still maintenance the mood and color theme I was going for, I&#8217;m really happy with it.  I&#8217;m still trying to get motivated to my own personal Podcast, check back her every so often to see if I have one up yet.</p>
<p>Like everything else I try, I&#8217;m not feeling too hot about the Phil and Daniel Show.  The first episode was OK, I feel like the second one kind of dragged.  Daniel and I just have different visions for the show, what&#8217;re ya gonna do? We&#8217;ll see though.</p>
<p>I guess that&#8217;s all for now, I&#8217;ll update again next time something major happen.</p>
