Update 9/22/09

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have been EXTREMELY busy getting school started over the past month and havn't had much time to really take to the blog. However, it has been a great start to the year so far and I have only been able to continue to stride. My only fear is that the worst (time management wise) is to come.

Work has been going well but time consuming as always. I have been working for the melting pot going on 4 years now and they have been nothing short of understanding and amazing to me over the years and they have been doing so while I continue to juggle school, my new basketball coaching job at TJ High in Alexandria, amongst many other small tasks here and there.

I will be having two new roomates move in with me in the coming month which should be fine considering one of them is a friend of mine from school the other has just moved out here after graduating from U. of Colorado. We all have long term girlfriends and work in a restaurant so hopefully it should be a breeze.

Hockey season is right around the corner and I am NOTHING SHORT of completely excited!!! After a disaster of a game last year that me and my brother Dave attended, Im hoping for a strong showing this year. We shall see though..

Val is doing well as always but we are both just in the same boat of trying to get everything organized and back in routine. Going to the gym, working, classes, etc. it's hard sometimes to see each other as much as we like but we do a great job of working things out.

I got a busy couple of weeks coming up but im trying to stay as cool as I can.


The highlight is going to Atlantic city for 2 days with some friends from work and it should be a BLAST! Hoping to come back with some dough as always.

Leave me some feedback and let me know whats going on if your following this or just not giving it a bit of time.

Hope everyone is having a good start to their Fall!!!

Regards,

Drew

Boston

Hey all,

Sorry it's been a while. Im in Massachusetts for the next few days visiting family and taking in the city a little for the first time. Went and spent all day traveling around the city today and I gotta say, I LOVED IT! Finished off the evening at the melting pot of Boston to show some family the fondue way on account of them never being there. Kind of got raped on the bill though :-/

Other wise, it has been a great time up here for certain! Def. plan on coming up here more often during the fall and winter to take in a few more sights and maybe a bruins V. caps game.

School starts on monday and this means the countdown has officially has begun until the real world.

YIKES!!!!

Atlantic City..

GREAT TIMES! GREAT PEOPLE! GREAT MONEY!

Came back "Rushing" after a horrible 6 hour ride car back from AC today and on top of that got 1 hour of sleep, and had to go straight to the Bar and work.

However, came back with about $400 extra. No complaints :)

Hope all is well!

ATLANTIC CITY BABY!

Off to "AC" for the night with the owner of my restaurant. Doing an event with Emerald Lagasse and Guy Fiero from food network at the Harrah's Casino.

Recap: Last time I was at Harrah's in AC I lost $200 in an hour.

Revenge is coming! :)

Late night..

Nothing like late night beer pong with a few co-workers. Hope all is well with everyone!

-D

Coma..

Maybe it is the late night restaurant hours or the constant irregular sleep patterns.

Either way, Sleeping until noon everyday does not make me that happy. HALF OF MY DAY IS GONE! Actually more considering how I have to go into work in 4 hours :(

Music..

I advise everyone to download (or Buy)

some music by the band known as H.I.M

Looking at them they look no where near what you may want to listen to. However, the deep lyrics and baritone voice of the lead singer is memorizing.

Check out:

-Heartache Every Moment
-Buried Alive By love
-The Sacrament
- Pretending

First Post, LET'S MAKE IT COUNT!

Well Well Well...

Never thought I would see the day but here I am.

As much as I am a big fan of networking and social websites, I have seem to fall short on the whole blogging thing. My brother and sister and their daughter use one as a way to keep everyone in the loop. However, I'm pretty sure that most people know already what I am up to or may not want to know :)

The month of August is looking CRAZY busy as it usually does every year for me but this year especially going into my senior year of college couldn't be anymore nerve racking!

-Books to order
-Save as much money as possible
-finish conditioning with the Womans basketball team im coaching.
-Work almost every night at The Melting Pot
-Boston Aug 17-21
-OBX 12-15?
-Incubus Concert Aug. 11


......Alright, maybe life isn't that bad?
