T-minus 6 hours and counting.
Well, it's here. MAYERCRAFT!
I'm leaving the house around 6 hours from right now, at 5:45 in the morning to hit up the airport and catch my flight to LA. SO HYPE RIGHT NOW! I've still got a good bit of packing to do, but I'm so excited that I'm not too worried about it.
Don't have time to write much now, but I wanted to give you the heads up and let you know that I'll be posting several "mini-blogs" (NOT Twitters) from my Ipod while I'm on the ship. I won't have a computer, so they'll be short and to the point, but get ready!
ALMOST time for sun and music!
Ahoy, yo!
Drew.

Slow motion Monday.
Monday night and I'm writing to write.
Had a BALLER weekend full of work, basketball, live music, and latenight biscuit action (mmm, country ham. mmm, biscuits). I've been catching up with myself since then, but in a good way. Finally made it back to the gym this morning and whooped my own ass for a while. It was fun.
Work was dead today, but enjoyable. I've got a feeling things are really gonna pick up once we get the patio out and people start coming out of their winter holes for a little sunlight. Once we get the outdoor seating (and liquor), the yuppies and hippies alike will flock to the place like geese flying south for the winter, and things will be MONEY (pun intended). Just gotta make it through a few more slow weeks before that happens.
Speaking of making it through periods of TIME, I've only got TWO more shifts of work between now and MAYERCRAFT. I can't believe it's already here, but I'm crazy excited. I've been going through things I want to do during the day in Cabo, and I'm trying to decide between snorkeling or an ATV desert "excursion". Too many choices, but I definitely wanna do more than sit on the beach all day...not that that would be bad...hmmm...
Anyway, this time three days from now I'll be on the BOAT getting ready for a lil red carpet treatment and waiting to set sail. Hypeness is in the AIR.
Between now and then, though, work, work, gym, gym, and lots of quality time with a certain Koala, and THAT is something to look forward to on it's own...

Twitter-ish Saturday.
The last day of winter brought me 13/16 wins in the first round of the NCAA tourney. The first day of spring brought me only 10/16. Thanks a lot, ACC. Wait to show up to play in March. Ah well, it happens. Still feeling pretty good about my bracket overall.
Speaking of the last day of winter and the first day of spring, hard to believe that's already here! It's basically the end of March, and as usual, New Year's feels like yesterday. We're flying into warm weather and sunny skies, and I LIKE it, but I wouldn't mind having it slow down a little on the way...
Warm weather though. Gotta love it. I guess I'll be feeling that soon. MAYERCRAFT is only 5 days away! Still feel like I've got a LOT to do between now and then, but it's really only a few more shifts of work and I'm THERE. Can't wait to hear some quality music with the backdrop of the ocean...
Work time now, but It's been a good weekend so far. Definitely looking forward to tonight for some live music out on the town and more basketball.
Enjoy the rest of your day,
Drew.

Synchronicity.
Been thinking about employment a lot lately. It's always a fun topic, especially in these times. I'm in no rush to dive into a career (although I obviously want a "real" job in the coming months). I just want to be able to support myself. It has nothing to do with pride, or the fact that I'm living at home. I'm happy with my situation, and I'm thankful for it every day. More than anything, I'm just ready to be able to support myself to the point where I can be out on my own. It really is that time, but with the way things are today, it won't be easy.
I wouldn't say I've been stressing about it necessarily, but it's been in the back of my mind the last few weeks, and especially since I officially finished my resume. Did a lot of thinking about it yesterday too, and I realized that I really am happy with 99% of my life right now. I love the job I DO have now, I love my family and my friends, and I'm with a great girl. That's all I need, honestly, but what I WANT is that last percent. I'm GREEDY for it, and I can SEE it, but I can't reach it yet.
As I brought this whole idea up to a special person in my car, my odometer was right at this reading:
It says "141414" if you can't read it (you know I had to get a pic...). We actually drove around to get it there, but once I talked it out, she put the number and my problems together and said, "See, everything lines up." And it does. I know simple signs like that sound cheesy, but they're cool in their own way.
Things line up around us all the time, and we don't always see it happening, or feel like going through the motions we need to go through to get there, but we DO. I think one of the best feelings in the world is when something lines up for you and catches you so off guard that you don't really see it until you're well down that road and enjoying it. I've had a lot of experience with this over the last few months, and I'm thankful for that every day.
Bottom line is, don't stop moving forward to where you trying to go, but don't miss out on other things on the way. I'll find a job in my career path. I'm a determined guy. Some of you know just HOW determined I can get more than others, and I like to think of that a a good thing. But it's whatever. Things line up. And I like it.
Drew
PS: Carra, things will line up. It's a pain in the ass, but give it time. Love, Your Brother.

March Madness.
Sunday night and MARCH MADNESS IS HERE!
The brackets are out and I'm ready to start making my picks. Don't have time to go into too much detail now, but I'll list a few things before I move on.
-UNDERDOG PICK: VCU. Why? Because my sister goes there and she's a baller at graphic design.
-SLEEPER PICK: FLORIDA STATE. Why? Because Toney Douglas is unreal and they just upset the number one team in the nation. They also wear baller black jerseys.
-FIRST ACC TEAM OUT: CLEMSON. Why? Because they peak in early January every season.
-TEAM THAT GOT SHAFTED FROM THE TOURNEY: AUBURN. Why? War Eagle.
-TEAM MOST LIKELY TO BLOW A HUGE LEAD: ARIZONA STATE: Why? Because Herb Sendak is coach.
-MY NATIONAL CHAMPION: UNC. Why? As much as I hate to say it, Hansbrough isn't going to graduate without one. I don't see it happening. Of course, this definitely depends on the health of Ty Lawson as well, because Bobby Frasor can't make a free throw to save his life.
I'll get back to this again later. Until then, do your research and feel free to pick teams based on their mascots...I've seen that work.

ACC Semis.
Watchin' ACC Basketball and drinking a CLSD now. Couldn't stay away from the computer now that I'm back and in the mood for useless typing and writing.
Florida State is playing UNC right now, and I don't think I've ever cheered as hard for the 'Noles as I am right now. It's really not a normal thing, but they're wearing some BALLER black jerseys, and it's been so long that they've done anything in the ACC that I wanna see them succeed. Plus, they're playing Carolina, who gets the red carpet treatment any time they're on the court. (I'm not jaded, I promise. I'm just a State fan.)
These games are always fun to watch, but the downside is that they show the same commercials over and OVER again. Just saw an ad for Red Lobster for the fourth time and I decided that the only good food item they offer is their Cheddar Biscuit, and those are free. Everything else is real average.
Also, Geico, ease up with the advertising. Your only good campaign is the Gecko. The cavemen: LAME. The Money I could be saving by switching to Geico: DRONING. Seriously though, I would totally hang out with that little gecko.
Anyway, I love this time of year. In February we got love in the air, and now that it's March, it's all BASKETBALL. Can't wait to fill out my bracket on Sunday.
For now, Go 'Noles, Go Duke, and watch this if you're bored:
D-pac.

Dodge's in March.
Haven't written in a while. Haven't felt like it. Sometimes I wanna write, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have things to say, sometimes I have nothing to say and I write it anyway. I've got a lot to say today, but I'm not gonna say much...yet.
One thing I'm gonna throw out there is an endorsement for the best/nastiest fried chicken in the world from a little place called "Dodge's" in North Myrtle Beach. You get six wings and two jo-jos (or potato wedges to the uneducated) with a roll and a drink for 5 bucks. "Is it good?" you ask me. Of course. And better yet, it's in a gas station. Nothing says good chicken like fried chicken that's sold with the scent of gasoline in the background. And are you ready for the real kicker?
It's open 24 hours. Oh yeah. So if you want to wake up with a grease hangover, go in after midnight. And if you don't feel like chicken, I definitely recommend the egg rolls or pizza sticks. Mmmmm, mmmm good.
Plenty more to say later and pictures to post from an amazing week with an amazing girl. I'll get to it eventually. For now, here's a preview:
And if you make it down to the area, go to "Dodge's". Don't believe me? Ask my friends.
