In A Simplified Form

I rearranged my room today. Like at 4:00 a.m. It seemed like a good idea, and I had been wanting to do it for some time. I only moved one of my wall decorations, because it only felt appropriate that the American flag should always be overlooking my bed. I decided today, that when I have lots of extra money to spend, I’m buying 2 more flags — the Croatia flag and a Missouri state flag. Both are technically my heritage, since I’m 1/4 Croatian and I’ve lived in Missouri my entire life.

My Summer List

I have been meaning to write this down somewhere, and what better place to do it than here? I have seen 9 movies this summer since moving to Kansas City, and I have been wanting to put them in order of how much I liked them. Here goes nothing.

Inceptionally Salty

So, I have been neglecting my blog a lot. Typical. But, actually, the past two weeks were very eventful, so I have at least some small excuse. Within the last two weeks, I got a job, saw four movies, including the best movie of the summer (three times), changed my Twitter name, and much more. My little brother visited again two weekends ago, but didn’t get to come back. I guess I will now try to recap everything exciting that has been happening.

Pretty Bubbles in the Air

Oh, yes they did. James, Wade, and Bosh will all be playing for the Miami Heat next season.

So, I haven’t blogged in a week. So what? I will start off by addressing what my entire last post was about. I am completely excited and in favor of LeBron James coming to South Beach to play for the Miami Heat. In the events that have transpired since then, I feel like LeBron has come out a lot better than people originally thought. He will team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and over the past few days, they have re-signed Udonis Haslem and added Mike Miller and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Pat Riley has begun to fill in the blanks for the rest of the team, and has done a great job so far. Getting Big Z to come down to Miami with LeBron was a big win for them. First of all, because it kind’ve slaps Dan Gilbert in the face after making an ass out of himself over LeBron leaving, plus, it is great for the Heat. They get a player who is familiar with LeBron and brings a lot of talent and experience to the table. I think it is safe to say that I will watch more NBA this season than ever before.

The South Beach Super Team

We've seen them together for Team USA. Will we see them together in Miami?

I honestly do not care where LeBron James ends up. He will still be my favorite player in the NBA, and he will still be the best player in basketball. I do think it would be absolutely insane if he ends up in Miami with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Bosh and Wade announced this morning that they would be joining each other next year in Miami.

On the Move

So, for those few people who have actually seen my blog before, I have gone with a new layout. I always have my eyes open for different themes to use, and I think I have found one that I like that I will keep for a long time. I had a brief stint with Tumblr last week, before deciding WordPress was much better, and while searching for stuff for Tumblr, I found the picture that I am now using for my header now. I think it looks awesome, and goes well with the background in this theme. I like a theme with some color and I always have to have something with a header and two columns. This one has the optional right hand column, so if you’re not into having widgets on the side, it works with you. Very cool.

In Extra Time

So, it’s obviously been a very long time since I’ve updated. A lot has changed for me in the last few weeks. One week ago today, I moved in with my aunt in Kansas City. She lives about four miles west of Liberty off of 152. I have been trying for a week to get a job, with no luck, even though a lot of people say they are hiring. With everything moving to the internet, applications are all online and very impersonal, so I don’t really know what my status is with any of the ~25 applications I have out right now. I need to be making money, but it’s been nice relaxing and hanging out with my aunt the last week. We decided the first night that we would go on Weight Watchers, and I’ve had a lot of success with it. I have actually lost 8 lbs so far, and we have been walking every evening at a park nearby her house. My room is really big and the closet is huge. It’s a walk-in with racks on both sides, and I don’t even come close to filling it up. I have my own bathroom and the whole downstairs to myself, which includes a living room, couch, two chairs, TV, a counter with a sink and a bunch of cabinets, and a mini-fridge. I’d say I have a pretty sweet setup.

The Final Showdown

It is officially Sunday now, so this is the day that I am returning to Columbia, ending Spring Break. Overall, I would say it was a pretty successful Spring Break — two books read, countless movies watched, and I didn’t even have to play video games that much to keep me entertained. Trevor is asleep while I am blogging again, and I will probably be pissed at myself for staying up so late, because we have to get up early for church tomorrow. Then, most of Mom’s side of the family is coming up for Easter lunch and I have to find a suitable time shortly thereafter to sneak out and head back down to Columbia.

Release the Kraken

Another typical Spring Break day. I slept until almost noon, and most of the day consisted of watching TV/movies with my little brother and playing video games. Yeah, I know. Really exciting. But, the night was at least somewhat interesting, and now I am up late because I couldn’t sleep, so I guess I will blog it up.

Mom and Dad went to St. Joe at some point during the afternoon and brought back Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner, which was pretty much amazing, not going to lie. Once we had both woken up, Trevor and I went through the movies I had TiVo’d this week and we knocked out a couple.

Breaking Some Spring

So, I realize that I haven’t blogged in forever, but whatever. Currently, I am sitting downstairs at my home in Stanberry, sitting at my Dad’s desk. Everyone else just went to bed, but of course, I am conditioned to stay up late at college, and everyone here gets up in the morning to go to school, so they’re in bed by at least 11 every night. It’s kind’ve annoying, but then again I can’t blame them. Plus, I get to sleep in as late as I want, meaning I stay up as late as I want, so that’s nice.

Like I said, I’m in Stanberry, and that is because it is Spring Break at school and I will be here until Sunday. Our family easter gathering is at my Aunt Tami’s in Kansas City this year, so we’re going down there on Sunday, and I’m assuming I will take a separate car and drive to Columbia by myself afterwards.
