I’ve Blown My Own Mind

So the past couple of days, I have been trying to figure out my future plans. I have pieces of paper scattered around with notes on them I can’t even read. I have gone through all the different options and choices and think I officially blew my own mind.

I have no idea what I am doing. I am either moving somewhere else, staying in Phoenix for the summer, or heading home to Wisconsin. My trip to Europe is still going to happen, but I am planning to hold off until fall when prices drop.

So the question is, what do I do until then?

I am sick of my current job and really feel the need for some change. At the same time, I know how much work it takes to quit a job, apply for new one, get the job, and fill in tons of paperwork for new benefits and all the crap. Or I could sandbag it even more here until I get canned.

I could go work a screw off job for the summer somewhere, but I am not sure where. I know I would take a pay cut but that is not much of a deal to me. I’d rather take a pay cut and live my job.

I am also struggling to figure out where I want to go. I like Phoenix a lot, but hate it at the same time. I love the weather and the things available to do here. Plus I have a lot of friends here and more on the way. The only thing I miss is the Ocean and some humidity in the air.

Some major things need to be decided in the near future, and hopefully everything works out. In the mean time, I have decided to live day to day and not worry so much about what is happening in the future.

Ahh I just needed to get that out of my head. Now I can actually get back to writing tomorrow.

Beer Pong Invades CVS Stores

So I was wandering around a CVS Pharmacy here in Phoenix yesterday, when I managed to find something interesting. I was checking out the liquor section (of course) and saw some plastic cups and ping pong balls.

My first thought was, Beer Pong! And then I thought how convient it was to put these items near the beer. I have never seen a store, other than liquor stores, put items like this near the alcohol.

What I found to be even more interesting, was the fact that the price tag said table Ping Pong balls/beer pong right on it. Check out the pic:

Beer Pong Price Tag

So I guess drinking games are finally becoming recognized as real games, lol. Whats next? I am guessing either the Jenga price tag will say Jenga/Drinking Jenga or the clear plastic cups will say Cups/Flip Cup.

Oh wait, even better, the Twister game will say Twister/Drunk Naked Twister in the toys section. Just wait until little Jimmy see’s that. Mommy Mommy! I want this game!

I think it would be awesome if more price tags had more than one description. Cheap Tequila could say Tequila/What Did I do Lastnight?, or perhaps the condoms could say Latex Condoms/Ackward Morning.
