I just got done working out with Ryan. That would make it the 6th workout this week, is that an addiction?
I am on standby, and got jacked the first night. Poor Steph had to get woken up many times as they called me at 10:30 and 12:00, and then everytime I came in the door. I know that it is part of the job, but it is one (of the many) that I don't like. Enough about that.
A lot of my friends are going to Oktoberfest. If it weren't $85, and I was not on stanby, I think that I still might not want to go. The German that I work with suggested that it is something that I should do while I am here. The problem is that Steph and I don't like huge crowds, and they get rarely bigger than Oktoberfest. I am considering maybe that we should go to the smaller towns around here. Munich is too far to drive too.
Steph and I went to the BX last night to get some shoes, pants and a cd; all we got was a candle. They had nothing. It is pretty comical after a while.
I am going to go drink my protein now.

It's beginning to look a lot like November in San Jose. I miss those times. Ahh...band season.

There has not been a whole lot going on. Steph is away right now. I miss her terribly and it has only been about 4 hours. At first, I was a little looking forward to it, on account that I was going to get some "me" time, but I don't think that I want "me" time; more like "us" time, that is way better. I don't know what to do with myself. I played some video games for about 2 hours without even noticing how annoyed I was getting at it.

I am looking forward to a few albums coming out, that is pretty exciting. Depeche Mode and Lowgold. Other than that, I have been pressing on with work. I was having such a bad attitude towards it for such a long time, then I prayed about it; lo and behold, it has certainly gotten better. What is more, is that on 19 Oct, I can look forward to a promotion. With that, I want to buy myself something to celebrate, but I don't know what that is yet. At least when people look at me, they will see another stripe, that just what I have now.

I guess I better start making something to eat, no it is not Pizza Rolls.

Is there some big sacrifice that you have made to get you where you are now? Do you regret any of them? Do you wish you made some?

I must apologize, that I forgot my camera and missed documenting the Wienfest in a Middle Ages town, Bernkastel-Kues. I did not get a photo of the fireworks display from the castle and the river. I could of had a picture of the German 80's rock band playing German drinking songs dressed up in their Lederhosen and hundreds of Germans swaying to their music. I wish I would had taken a picture of the rows of wineries.
It was a good time. Steph and I tried a few wines and found one that we liked, what was more interesting was that it is a red wine. The mosel River, where all the wines are made, is notorious for making lots of white wine. I did not think that there was a red wine out here.
Saturday, needing new tires for my car, we went around pricing tires. Not that exciting, huh? Well, I did most of it in German. That was pretty fun. Except for one question from one place and one question from another place, it was al in Deutsch. Awesome. Well, hooray for me.
