Neck Pains

So, this whole sleeping on an air mattress has finally gotten to me. I can't move my head to the right without getting pain through my neck. I think I also strained a muscle in my back that hurts when I breathe. That's breathe, not sneeze. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I hope you're not in America. :) Good ole sneaky Bush. Silly silly man. But ya know, I can't really complain because I didn't vote during the last election. Yes, I am apart of that eleventy billion percent of americans between the ages of 18 and 35 who doesn't vote.... yet. I should work on that though now that I have a new home state. I'll keep ya posted.

So... I'm here in Minneapolis and I feel like I'm on some sort of camping trip. My apartment is almost completely bare. I'm sleeping on an air mattress and right now I'm sitting at my computer which is on top of a Rubbermaid container. Kinda sad. People at work keep asking me, "Well, at least you have a TV." Actually, no, I don't. But a guy at work is going to let me borrow his until I get around to purchasing one. He's from New Jersey. Current score: Yankees 1, Minnesotians 0. But I'm off to St. Louis this weekend for a wedding, so people down there will be normal and I'll get a break from all of this.

Oh, and if you were wondering, yes, it was 48 degree (F) this morning when I woke up at 5 am. And I don't think we broke 70. I really thought it was supposed to be summertime.

So, everyone who told me that people in Minnesota are "so nice" are liars. I've decided that Minnesota is not part of the Midwest, (I don't know if anyone else considers it to be), but part of this not being classified as a part of the Midwest is the lack of the "Midwest hospitality."

To the girl at the Grocery store who wouldn't let me out of my parking spot, I hope you get ear cancer from your cell phone.

For everyone at the Grocery store who ran me down without saying "Excuse me" or "sorry", I hope your chicken has salmonella.

For the guy who wouldn't hold the door for the girl with the huge cart of groceries, I hope you fall off your motorcycle.

RAHR!

Adventures in shopping....

So yesterday I bought a sofa and chair at a furniture outlet, and then today I saw a similar sofa and chair advertised at the same furniture store (but not the outlet), for way cheaper. So I call the sales guy and said, look, I want that other price. He said, ummm....NO. So I drove out there, talked to a way nice woman associate, and she got me an awesome deal on the advertised sofa and chair, that come with the manufacturer's warranty (the outlet stuff didn't), and the furniture is a little higher quality, and it came out to be $120 cheaper. I highly recommend her. So moral of the story, don't always go to the outlet first, and if you're going to Becker Furniture, ask for Kristi, but she doesn't work Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays.

Here's a riddle for ya...

A father and his two sons are walking in the Target parking lot. They see a young lady struggling with a cart and a step ladder. Suddenly, a gust of wind comes by and blows the receipt out of one of her bags. She tries to pull the cart over and put everything down. Now, which of the men helps her?

Answer: None of them. They just watch her as she chases her cart and the receipt across the parking lot.

Another thing I learned about Minnesota... no one says "Excuse me." They just barge by. And where there should be a 2-way stop or a light, there is a 4-way stop. Kinda silly

Real conversation I just had with my mom.

Me: Hey Mom, is one of the news anchors pregnant?
Mom: The one in the red?
Me: Yeah.
Mom: I thought she just had a baby not too long ago.
Me: She looks pregnant.
Mom: Maybe it's a re-run.

Maybe you shouldn't be taking care of Clair....

With all this moving stuff, I haven't had a chance to blog, and I really don't have time to do it now, I just wanted to leave everyone with this moment of wisdom from my brother:

"I don't understand women. How can a vagina bleed for a week and not die?!?!"

I have an apartment!

I signed a lease on Tuesday for my new apartment in Minneapolis! It's a two bedroom, so I have lots of room for everyone who wants to come and visit me. I will be moving next week, probably around Wednesday or Thursday. I start my job next Monday. I'm rather nervous because my manager said that when he moved, it took 2 months before the moving company delivered his stuff. So I think for a while I will be sleeping on my couch (which I will buy sometime next week), and eating out, a lot. But I'm super excited about all of it!
