Holy. Cow. It has been a long time since I have had the ability to write. For that I am sorry to my following of 3 people.

Anyway, what have I been doing in the past month. One word; Working. All in all work has been great along with life in general. Laura and I are doing great. She is currently in L.A. visiting her older sister so it is bachelor week for me.

My best friend and soon to be best man Travis came out at the beginning of March which was alot of fun.


Behind us is a restaurant called Chocolate by the bald man. Probably our favorite restaurant in the city. The drinking chocolate is great enough but Laura and I had to get the smores the first time we went.
If you think I look unhappy it is actually quite the opposite, I am suffering of chocolate overdose. It took 3 days to recover.

Story Time:
My birthday was last thursday, happy birthday to me, the night before my birthday brought me something of a suprise. I was currently quickly counting my money at work wanting to not spend a second longer when one of my managers rushes to the back and in a frenzy starts to call someone and outloud saying how he had to get rid of some tickets. My ears perked up at once. So after inquiring about what was going on I found out the concierge has two tickets to Wicked and needed to get rid of them after the person who bought them ended up not being able to go. Along with that they were for free. The downside is that it was currently 7:35 and the show started at 8:00. I told him I would take them and he agreed and I quickly called laura (who was in her pajamas, let her kill me if she reads this) and told her that she could see both a broadway show for free and the show she wanted to see the most all in one night...if she could get to the theatre district in 20 minutes. Get this, the girl almost got on the subway......I told her she was crazy and to take a cab and I'll pay when she gets there. Luckly I still had my suit on so I looked NYC presentable and without thinking I punched out and ran. I ran for 10 blocks and 2 avenues and got there in 10 minutes (hey, its a long trek). Laura showed up 5 minutes before the show started and we rushed in. Now seeing how these were free and each were worth $250 I figured they would be good.....boy was I wrong.......they were the best seats in the house. Fourth row-Center!!! Can you believe that??? Needless to say the show was fantastic and won me bonus karma points with laura.
In other news I finally met my big boss, who isnt really my boss, but kinda is. Also a certain "dirty dancer" from the 80's is in house so I'll be meeting them probably tomorrow.
My parents come in a couple weeks which should be fantastic, not only because they are bringing my stuff (why I dont show you my room that consists of a air mattress and tv) but more because I miss them, I really do, so it will be great.
Okay, I'll be posting more in a couple weeks when I have my computer, the only reason I could now was because Laura was so nice to let me use hers for the week.
