Nothing Much

I do pretty much the same thing every day. I guess I would post more but I honestly spend most of my time thinking about what I'm going to do about moving into my place. Other than that, my days are pretty much the same. Here's a typical weekday for me:

6:45am - wake up
7:30 - drive to work
7:55 - get to work and spend an hour on the computer checking work emails, AOL emails, sherdog.com, and finish any kind of CPS work I didn't do the day before
8:55 - training class begins...
12pm - lunch (usually leftovers from the night before or a sandwich or Sonic)
1pm - back to training
5pm - go home
6pm - go work out
7:30 - come home and take a shower
8pm - cook some pasta w/chicken in duck sauce (just kidding, but I do saute some damn good vegetables with the tomato sauce)
8:25 - eat and watch a DVR'd episode of the ultimate fighter or the office
9:15 - call Erika and sometimes my mom :)
9:45 - get on the computer and think about blogging something
9:46 - get off the computer
9:47 - get in bed and either read a little, think about filming the next "george" episode, or imagine myself on Season 7 of "The Ultimate Fighter".
10:15-10:45pm - go to sleep

And there you have it! My weekends are a little more exciting but with all the traveling I've been doing lately I still haven't seen everything Austin has to offer. I do still like here though and am really looking forward to exploring the city more whenever my flight benefits run out and I can't fly back to florida every other weekend. I'll let you know some more stuff then...

Yes, a New Apartment.

I pulled the trigger! I went with my gut and decided to go ahead and to lease a place in Austin for about 8 months (not sure why the lady didn't want a year lease but it didn't change anything so I'm fine with it). I move in November 17th!

I can FINALLY stop moving around this city from friend's floors to friends of friends' empty rooms. A place I can call my own...too bad it's a two-bedroom and I currently don't have a roommate. What I DO have, though, are some good prospects for people to move to Texas and live with me. They are:

ERIKA - Yep, she's still deciding what American city to move to now that she's a resident again (although now and then she says she wants to go back to London). Without going into a humongous story about what Erika and I are doing as far as our relationship is concerned - her chances of moving here are about 40% - 50% (in my mathematical opinion).

JAMES COOPER - That's right folks, the Coop might just give up his higher education job prospects in Florida and bring his talents to Texas. Considering that he was the first person I ever visited Austin with, it might be appropriate for him and I to room together. We'll see...guesses aside - James has a 35% - 45% chance of moving here.

Now what will I do with that 5% - 25% or so chance of having no one move here? I dunno. Call up some random friends from Kathleen High School and convince them that their dreams lie in that great state of Texas. hmmmmm...

New Apartment?

I'm trying to get in the habit of posting but that damn LeftHandedNinja.com website has been taking up much of my computer time lately. If you have not been to the site, by the way, you should totally go right now.

Anyways, I went to look at an apartment for the second time today. The place is really nice and has pretty much all the things I'm looking for in a place here. Look for yourself if you want to here: Falls on Bull Creek.

Although it has some negative ratings on certain apartment websites, I talked to three, real-life people who live there and they said they loved the place. It is inexpensive, 15 minutes from my work, remodeled with new carpet/floors/paint, and has an awesome pool. It's also in a really cool part of Austin in the rolling hill country.

I'm thinking about signing a lease soon. I just have to ensure that someone will move to Austin in order to share the rent now. hmmmmmmmmm...
