Well I got back from Vegas last night and got home around midnight…

Here’s an abbreviated re-cap of my trip:
Left 8am Thursday morning, get to the airport in Seattle, get on the plane, then sit for almost an hour waiting for the flight crew.
We make it to Vegas and after a smooth landing make it to the Mirage and check-in.

Thursday night we played BJ at the Barbary Coast, then went down to the Mandalay Bay to get tickets for Al Green.

Friday night: Al Green, the legend… The man has an unbelievable voice that hasn’t lost a thing since the 70’s. It’s only in the past couple of years he’s been out touring again after he turned his back on the “secular” world in the mid-70’s and became a preacher at his church in Memphis.

Saturday night: Jerry Seinfeld, also a legend… He was pretty funny, although his current act involves a lot of jokes about marriage which since I am not married were not as amusing to me. For an encore he came out and answered some questions from the audience. Someone asked him if he would ever do TV again, his answer was “I’m old, tired, and thanks to all the people like you, rich, so no”… It’s out fault he won’t do TV again…

Sunday night: Love, the Cirque de Soleil show based on the music of the Beatles. An amazing show! Those Cirque performers are unbelievably talented.

Monday: Played some more blackjack and then caught the plane home…

I didn’t take a single picture this trip, so don’t bother looking for any in the DimensionZ Photo Gallery. Don’t worry, I plan to take a ton of pictures when I go to Oregon next week…

imdb still won’t fix my birth date. They have me listed as born in 1980. I’ve sent in about 4 corrections over the past two years and they still won’t fix it because they don’t like to make people younger.

I’m 24 today, not f–king 26!

It is sort of cool that I share a birthday with Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell…

I was watching CNN Headline News and they had a report on one of those “medical studies” that said men who take regular vacations reduce their “risk of death” by 30%…

Death of what?

Yesterday I went to the beach in Birch Bay, WA and opened a Big Ol’ Can of Whoop Ass!

The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale is on tomorrow night at 6pm on SpikeTV.

Unfortunately I will only be able to watch the begining of it live, since I have to close at work…

I just finished my last final exam of the term, and I rocked it! Just one part-time course during the summer will be a nice change of pace from the 8 courses at a time I’ve been putting up with since September.

This morning I had my first final exam. I arrived at school early and went to the cafeteria to buy a Dr. Pepper and 2 long-john doughnuts before meeting people in the great hall.

After eating one of the doughnuts I decided I didn’t feel like eating the second one. To prevent someone from grabbing it I licked the top chocolate covered part of the doughnut. I then had the wonderful idea of giving away my self-tainted doughnut to an unsuspecting person. I tried in vain to give to the next few people in my set that showed up, I came close and had one guy about to take a bite of it before someone else knocked it out of his hand.

It was time to head to the gym (where we were writing the exam), upon arriving there I had success. I passed the doughnut off to someone I knew who had transferred to the marketing program in January. He took the doughnut we sat down to write the exam.

Just before we start writing I look over and there he is happily eating the doughnut… It definitely took my mind off the stress of the exam.
