Katy Perry finds a partner, I travel back in time and much more

Well, Katy Perry has turned it up a notch. After writing my blog about her ruining my life, it looks like she has found a partner in crime. The last few days have been non-stop Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Its like they have joined forces to try to ruin my life. They are like an evil WWE tag team set to Laughlin to ruin my time. They are the Mega Powers. Katymania and Gaga Madness. Touché ladies, touché.

So today is Saturday and I decided to take a trip down to the Riverside Casino to catch a flick. 30 Minutes or Less was an OK movie with some funny parts. Overall not bad. After I left, I decided to a look around the casino to see what I could find. I kept getting the feeling like I was in 1984. Maybe it was the smoking inside (which I am not used to anymore), the tackiest carpet I have ever seen or maybe it was this poster inside the Riverside. Take a good look at the "celebrities" on this poster. Thats a David Hasselhoff, Charo and maybe Joan Rivers? These are the celebrities being advertised at Riverside. All they need it Eric Estrada, Chyna and Ron Jeremy and we could have the return of The Surreal Life. After I left the casino, I walked to my car, only to see a marquee promoting the return of Huey Lewis and the News. Maybe this was a blast from the past. Where was Marty McFly, Dr. Emmitt Brown and the Dolorian to get me back to the future. Unfortunately, I didnt have my camera to take a picture of Huey and his friends (idiot).

After my eventful morning, I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food. Up until this point, I was living the bachelor life. It was Chef Boyardee and Campbell's Soup for me. Heres the perfect example of my life without a woman (my mom or Kate) to help me out. Yea that is paper plates and paper bowls. Dont hate, I am practically a cave man. But I picked my game up a little bit and stocked up. Check out the results...

No more paper for the Scorpion King
Shake and Bake Baby!
Hi Ya Champ!
Yea thats two Tony's Pizza and some random meat.
The Four Horsemen. WOOOO!
Stocked Fridge (Drinks, turkey, salad and cookies in a bag. Talk about a hell of a lunch)

Now on to some more serious topics. I decided to write this blog because I thought it would help me pass the time. The positive support from those of you who do read and let me know you like it on Facebook means the world to me. I am doing my best to be funny and entertaining but I thought only my mom would like the blog. However, I am really enjoying writing it and hope you keep letting me know if you like it. I have done my best to keep this blog fun but being out here isnt all fun for me. It has been really, really hard. I am grateful to have the opportunity to start my career; at the same time, I am sad its no longer possible to be around those who I love.

As the summer wore down, I was preparing to go back to school, work on my Master's and continue to sub. My family, friends and girlfriend were all supportive of that decision. They understood how hard it was to get a job and I did everything I could. In the blink of an eye, I had a job and moved across country. It has been rough. I get to talk to my parents once and day and usually my nephew. Leaving him was very difficult. We had grown close over the summer and had started a great relationship. When my mom tells me he asks "Where's Spikey" it really hurts. I hope he remembers me and the great relationship we had.

It was also hard to leave my girlfriend, Kate, behind as well. Since we began dating, we have been able to see each other almost whenever we want. Now, I am lucky if we talk on the phone each day. Its been difficult. For those of you who dont know, we met in Biology class but didnt date until a year later. I can remember the first thing I thought when I saw her. I think this pretty much sums it up. My buddy Brad can attest to that reaction as well. Now when I see her, my feelings are like this. So its been a tough few weeks. On the bright side, she will be here over labor day weekend. It will be awesome to see her. Shes beautiful isnt she.

Thats it for this time. Stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions.

(Remember the bar where the girls wear only bikinis? Well, check this out. Laughlin is a weird place.)
