love reign over me
To those I adore,
I feel it is necessary to apologize for my absence of updates, sorry. Ok so now that that is done with, let's get on to news, or lack of, to start I will tell about progress with my job situation. It sucks, I am in limbo, purgatory whatever you may want to call it. It's like they're fishing, I am the fish, a very willing fish ready to bite, yet they are fumbling with the worm. So yeah I am still waiting on stuff, I am sure most of you know what is going on for those that do not know I probably would tell you but there are a few out there I do not want to disclose this information with.
In other news Rob got married, Kailey and I went, I was in a tux and may I say I look mind blowingly handsome, just look it's true. As for everyone else I guess they looked spiffy. Hey it's my blog deal with my ego boost I need one now. It was a pretty insane little vacation since we arrived on a Thursday and then on Friday I had the longest physical in my life in Pittsburgh and was late for the rehearsal dinner. Then we went to the bachelor party, which never ever have it the night before the wedding, because you wake up a little tired. The wedding was smooth, the reception was fun beside having extremely sore feet. I had an awesome time up there, finally got to see my nephew (Caden/ham) and niece (Melina/chunk). Also look below, more pictures to come sometime.
So since then I have got kicked out of college resigned from my job and have been stuck in limbo living off my beautiful girlfriend Kailey (she was pretty at the wedding too, my blog again). So I am on the last book of the Dark Tower series, many of you know I have been reading the series almost non stop for a year now. It is an excellent series for any of you who like fantasy novels such as Lord of the Rings, or sci-fi novels, or western novels, or romance novels (speaking only about The Wizard and Glass for this one).
Hmm what else...well today I went to the cheap seats and saw Reign Over Me and thought it to be excellent. I think it is one of the best dramas made this year. Many of you know that I have odd taste in movies though. It was good very well done, Adam Sandler is superb in this non-comical role, the soundtrack to the movie is great as well. A lot of 80's hits are in there with some 70's here and there. The ending song is "Love Reign O'er Me" originally a song by The Who, but performed by Pearl Jam.

Grey's Anatomy
To all those I adore, and fan's of Grey's Anatomy,
Below is a summary of the last two episodes, as predicted by yours truly. First off let me state that Kailey and I have been fans of the show from the start, but this season the plot has drifted away from medical interns and how they are dealing with mostly patients and co workers. Now the serious has taken the 90210 approach of who is sleeping with who. So after enormous frustration with watching it the past few weeks and one effed up dream I had last night I have come to realize how the series should end...
Remember I dreamt this, so it is weird even for me. Just warning you, this is going to get weird.
Along time ago in a galaxy far far away...
Meridith somehow ends up in space and has become part of the imperial guard under Emperor Palpatine's ruling hand. Darth Vader has been trying to seduce her but failing because she holds her heart for Jedi/brain surgeon Derick Shepard. Anywho Meridith ends up in space so Derick and Meridith's beloved friends lead a rescue mission, i.e. they get am Imperial Cruiser and try to launch from Earth into space, however the bridge of the cruiser falls killing and injuring many crew members.
Some extras tend to the wounded while Derick and his crew launch and old fashion space shuttle into space to latch onto Meridith's ship, i.e. Palpatine's own Imperial Cruiser. They knock out some storm troopers and take their uniforms (see picture below).
Soon after arriving they are separated, Derick and George go off to find Meridith while the rest of the gang is hand out somewhere in my sub conscience. George reveals himself as a Dark Lord of the Sith and duals Derick to the death. As Derick runs his light saber into George's heart, George cries out, "Tell Meridith I never meant to hurt her and I love her, also tell Izzy I never meant to love her and I love her, oh and tell my wife...what's her face she is one cool chick and thanks for the support...ehhhh." Derick holds George's corpse as it vanishes into the nothingness Jedi's go to.
Derick rounds the corner to find...
Yoda also known as Bailey uses the force to take away Alex's weapon and subdues him with a Jedi mind melt. But not before pulling him off scene with a hilarious ear pull. Derick finds that Meridith had been posing as an Imperial Guard and had watched the entire thing. They run to each other kiss. They laugh and giggle for a few more episodes but eventually Meridith runs herself through with Derick's light saber. Derick not terribly upset by this moves on and gets his own spin off, Jedi Shepard, a New Hope.
Oh, and the rest of the cast took a wrong turn and were compressed in a giant trash compressor.
That is all, I know messed up dream but what are we to do, hope it made you giggle.
Love and kisses,
Rick

Derick rounds the corner to find...
That's right the Dark Lord Emperor Palpatine is Adison. This is no surprise to our hero Derick since he was married to her and she was such a...well you know...that she should be the cruelest ruler of the galaxy, and who is her half bionic evil apprentice, well no other than Alex, her part time lover and hospital intern.
An epic battle ensues in which Derick eliminates Adison by decapitation, Alex feeding off anger and the taste of revenge in his mouth takes the left hand of Derick and amputates it, cauterising the wound as his surgical light saber passes through his wrist, wounded and sobbing like a little baby Derick calls out for Yoda to help him. And Yoda shows...
Yoda also known as Bailey uses the force to take away Alex's weapon and subdues him with a Jedi mind melt. But not before pulling him off scene with a hilarious ear pull.

Finally a decision
To all those I adore,
The decision has been made. Bettis has finally called me back and I was offered a job. They offered me the salary I desired, in fact they offered more than I put on the application, so maybe I low-balled myself. Ha, ha, now it is very reasonable for a starting salary, and I am very happy to accept it. I would tell everyone what they offered me, but it is sometimes rude to talk about how much you make, you never know who you are going to offend, but if you are inclined and curious write or call me and I may tell you.
They will be sending the paper work to me and it should be here next week. I am very relieved to be heading back west. I love Idaho Falls and the area. The first summer I was there I do not think I liked it because I let someone else influence my opinion. However, this past summer with my head on straight I loved it. My favorite parts of the summer are when Kailey came and now we can both be there for a long time. This is a picture of where I will be working in the future, it was found online, no sorry not one of mine. I can't afford to hire a helicopter to fly me around no fly zones. Just try to tell me that isn't a view there, it is really beautiful in the mornings when you come in on the bus and the sun is rising and hits the mountains just right, gives you a little wake up call. For those that do not know this is located just down the highway from where I worked the past two summers so it is about the same bus ride give an extra 20 minutes.
When I first heard on Thursday I was excited but not as giddy as I thought I would be. This morning however I think it finally kicked in I woke up and was just happy. Happier than I have been this entire time being here. I wanted to get up, pack the bags and get the heck out of here. But it will still take another month or two before we can do that. I am uncertain when they want me to start, I think probably sometime Late May or in June would be right for me, that way I can go to Rob's wedding move, visit home, and have time to unpack and get settled.
Kailey is scared to tell her work because she knows the girls there will be mean to her. It is not like she planned to work there for the rest of her life so I do not see the big deal, those people need to get over themselves. But at the same time I can see it from Kailey's point of view that she does not want to let anyone down. Kailey is an awesome worker and to be honest they need her, mainly because she actually works instead of standing around doing nothing. Oh well Kailey will have school to look forward to. I think the day we get to Idaho Falls she needs to start working on residency. I want her to go back and finish her degree.
I spent a majority of yesterday day dreaming about the things I like the most there. I can't wait to take Kailey up to Yellowstone, or to go camping and hiking. Every week there is something to do in town. It is a nice place to live. Sure it may not be much but it feels more like home than North Carolina ever would. It will be nice to be within a days drive, literally a days drive from home, or an hour flight home. Family can come and see us, we can go see family. I think we will be much more happy there.
Let's see what else in other news I will be a part of Rob's wedding as a groom's man, how cool is that? Let's see what else...well not much that was mainly what I wanted to say. I am excited to be heading back to Idaho, we will be closer to family and we already have friends there. Anyways I thank all of you who supported me and cheered me on the past few weeks, it helped.
Love and kisses,
Rick
