Quiet weekend

My folks are up here visiting and checking things out. They seem to be pretty impressed with the Hope Lodge and I think they are starting to understand how I can go a little crazy at times here. I as some people know don't like people nosing around in my business and that is why I kinda stay quiet around these parts. Why the hell do they need to know my business? I told them that I only talk to a few people and they have talked with a few people staying here so they know what I am talking about now. My folks also wanted to plan a family trip somewhere and they thought of New York City to which I would love but I also mentioned Washington DC and Boston. Two places I was going to go to on a previously planned denfunkt roadtrip. Then looking into it some more online we could go to Germany for a week for a few hundred dollars more. I know some of you out there know I went to Germany in 1998 for 3 weeks with an exchange program and had an unbelievable time. My folks were pretty receptive to that idea. I started looking around and gathered up some websites to places I have been and would like to see. I know Berlin is one place I personally would love to spend a couple of days in but Southern Germany is a place my parently would fall in love with. I would make it a point to go to Salzburg Austria though and see as much there as I can. When I was there last I felt that that was the most fun place I went to on the entire trip. Other than that my folks and I went to Pizza Luces yesterday and they were impressed by the food like I said everyone would. We went grocery shopping and to the movies and saw The Dark Knight. I highly suggest you go see that movie. Heath Ledger was incredible as The Joker. That was the excitement for the day. I have been feeling more symptoms of the chemo today. The back pain is starting to kick in and my hands are no where near as bad as they were the two previous day. The spot on my chest has been causing me to be in a lot of pain but when they introduced the chemo back into my body that is what is supposed to happen. I guess it means that they are duking it out.......good! Reguardless I haven't been my normal self as of late because of it. I have been really tired, in slight pain, and winded. Today was also the first time in a whole week that I popped an Oxycodone pill for the aching and throbbing pain coming from my chest.
Noah and I won't be going to The Ting Tings show on Monday night because it is sold out as of today and I was never able to get over there and buy tickets. I am pissed cause I wanted to see them. The live videos they have on Youtube seems to show them having an interesting live set. Their album is also really catchy. I also saw the new Slipknot video today and I can't wait to get ahold of their new disc as well. From the reviews they are all saying that this is the most powerful album they have every written and the most politically charged.
The one thing about being back in Minneapolis that bugs the hell out of me is that the Twins are always on. I can't even get the Brewers games out of Hudson. I have to resort to my stat tracker in my fantasy league. Today I guess Sabathia pitched another gem and Fielder finally coming around. I don't care what anyone says Fielder is not a clutch hitter and I find it amazing how well he plays in Atlanta. I hear they are looking for a First baseman now that they traded Mark Texeira. Fielder or Texeira? Sorry Prince......Texeira is a stud! Don't get me wrong though I am glad the Brewers have Fielder but he will command a shitload of cash this offseason which is amazing for a shitty defender ala Manny Ramierez style. Out of that entire trade between the Pirates, Red Sox, and Pirates. I can't really say that any team got screwed. I am glad Jason Bay has a chance to finally play for a contender in Boston. He is the ultimate team guy and never complains. That would be pretty tough considering he played in Pittsburgh for years. Which reminds me that I have a lot of pictures to upload still.

Here is the new Slipknot video
