The Life of 'Rav... (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1497286-The-Life-of-Rav Alright, seriously. I'm almost 24 years old and have been living in an apartment for the past 4 years. I think I'm perfectly capable of fending for myself for dinner. I had to pick up my dad from the airport this afternoon and since I had work and my apartment is close, I figured that I would call my brother and tell him I'll pick up our dad. That went great, actually. Traffic wasn't bad...[Read Full Post] Thu, 29 Jan 2009 23:06:43 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/632821 While I enjoy brief visits back home (or in today's case, an overnight visit) there is one thing that I miss about being at my apartment. My family insists on communicating by yelling around the house and it drives me crazy. My roommates and I all come from families with at least one sibling and we have come to a simple rule. Unless it is during a sporting event (and it...[Read Full Post] Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:28:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/632631 Alright, well I just spent the whole day working. Yay for Mondays. I mean, hold on a tick, BOO for Mondays!!! There we go. That's more like it. Mondays means PJ's day off and more kindergarten games. Gar. And team pictures were today. Double gar. I hate those days. They take so long and the kids don't know what they're doing....grrrrr. Since its PJ'...[Read Full Post] Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:36:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/632217 A few things you have to know in order for this to be put into some sort of perspective. First of all, my boss's name is Kraig and is one of my best friends. Secondly, his best friend is Tom, a minister of a community church. Third, there is a woman, Wendy, that used to work full time with the sports program until she got married and had her first daughter, Tay...[Read Full Post] Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:42:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/632007 So I've settled back into my old, American life. I'm back to coaching and we're well into our basketball season which is just as well. Out of all the sports we offer, basketball is my worst sport so the fact that I'm missing the majority of this season is perfectly fine by me. When I get back from my little Egyptian j...[Read Full Post] Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:01:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/631749 Well, we made it back to the States mostly intact. My parents' divorce is finalized and my dad has moved into an apartment in the city, so he's closer to work....and my apartment....My brothers are dealing with it pretty well for the most part. Except Peter, the angry one, and the one who is leaving for the Marine Corps in about 26 days. ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:16:46 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/629555 Alright, holy crap!! This is outrageous. My family sucks. All I wanted was to have a nice Australian Christmas, but that's too much to ask for I guess. Seriously, ARG!!! As I said before, Christmas day ended with me getting punched in the face (which I still have bruises from), arguing with various family members, other family members getting drun...[Read Full Post] Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:54:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/626889 Holidays are never easy with my family. Especially when we have all the cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents involved. Its just so many people and things never run smoothly. The good news is that this year, nobody ended up going to the hospital!!! That's a true achievement for my family. The bad news, family got drunk, I got into an argument with my father, which I w...[Read Full Post] Fri, 26 Dec 2008 12:35:23 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/626161 I love my family.....most of the time. Alright, some of the time. I guess "most" was being kinda optimistic. Anyway, I love my EXTENDED family. I guess part of it is because I have a BIG extended family. My dad is the oldest of 9 and all of them are married (except for my uncle Jamie....he got divorced a few years ago but his...[Read Full Post] Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:23:05 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/623697 Hmm...Well, its been interesting being back in the southern hemisphere. I've been spending a lot of time with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and even some very old friends that I've managed to keep in touch with back here (thank you e-mail) and its been a lot of fun. However, it also seems like my family is going seriously crazy. Nobody's been told a...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:00:29 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/622924 Yay for Australia! The first couple days here have been awesome!! I've gone wakeboarding with my cousin (and even posted a picture of me!) and then I've gone sailing with my grandfather and whoever's been around when we leave (which includes my immediate family, my cousin Ben, uncle Jamie, and my uncle Nikos as well as some family friends). Its been awesome! I ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:15:10 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/621843 Ugh!!!! Stupid airports, stupid layovers, stupid too much family. Enough!!!! I saw enough of my immediate family during Thanksgiving. Why would I want to spend 19 hours in airports and on a plane with them?!?!?! Grrrr. But its over. And I made it safely....errr.....kinda. I'm pretty sure I left my patience and sanity either in Chicago or its lost in Los An...[Read Full Post] Sun, 30 Nov 2008 01:37:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/621277 A few thoughts I've had.... It isn't even December yet and the local radio stations insist on playing Christmas music 24 hours!!!! Toooooo early. Its bad enough people are already putting out Christmas decorations. I know, I know, its smarter to put them out during what may be the last nice weekend here before Christmas rather than fre...[Read Full Post] Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:06:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/620639 This game is amazing and extremely addictive. If you haven't heard about it, go to [Link: 'http://www.youtube.com/user/Spore?ob=1'] and look around. I've created a TON of little dudes and its so much fun! Its so much fun making carnivores to chase other creatures down and eat em all. I've also made herbivores, but that's not ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:14:51 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/619819 While yesterday was an extremely bad day, today has been the exact opposite. Today was Thursday, so I didn't have class until 1:00. I even got into the pool and swam for the first time in months...I've been kinda lazy and getting out of shape, so I decided to finally do something about it. Anyway, I aced my history test and then didn't do anything pr...[Read Full Post] Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:50:02 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/619664 Alright, well yesterday was crazy. Today, though, cannot be any worse. Except for the fact that its snowing. I know, I know, snow can be fun, right? I agree. But snow is only fun when you're not in the middle of a big freezing city and when there's enough of it to do something with....snowboarding, snowball fights, etc. However, this...[Read Full Post] Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:34:42 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/619611 Wow. My own blog. This is actually the first blog I've ever created. It is special! And what a day this first day of blogging has been. I've been meaning to do this for a while now because I have so much to say. However, life is busy and now that I actually have some time off, I don't know what to do with myself. So, I spend a lot ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:11:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/619465
