a moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips. . .

I was excited about a pizza I ordered tonight.

I ran upstairs, grabbed three plates for me and my homeboys.

I opened the box, ready to devour the entire pie. . .

only to find a large cheese pizza covered in meat!


I was willing to sacrifice the results from my near three mile through the hill country trails yesterday
and
all those weights I was lifting.

I still am.

mon coeur est brisé





So much has happened, I don't know where to even begin.

Well, I'm ordering up my transcripts and examination scores for a really amazing MBA program. My current MBA credits wont be accepted, but this opportunity is far beyond any other that I can achieve through a traditional MBA.
The program I am applying to is one of the top 20 International MBA programs offered in the United States.
The first semester is spent in Mumbai.
The second semester is in Philadelphia.
The final semester is spent in Shanghai and Tokyo.


I'm still enrolled at St. Edwards in Austin, so if I don't get into this program I'll be okay.
I'm scared to be stuck in Austin.
I fear that I will be limited to a career in the United States.
I don't think I should be scared, I should have no problem with my 4.0 GPA.

Tim and Eric ruled.
Dr. Steve Brule was there.
I really dig what John C. Riley has done with his career.

Last weekend was amazing!
I finally got to meet David Sedaris and attend his reading FREE.

I was worried about him getting writer's cramp, so I only took my hardcovers.

I am an even bigger fan of him as I observed him interact with his fans and avid readers.

December will be extremely busy, and I hope to update more.
My homie, Lee, is coming up for a visit from Florida.
We'll hit up Austin with muchos road sodas and metal.
Lizep will be coming up to visit me the following weekend to party Tejas style.
Then my trip to Vegas for family fun, hiking, and gambling shenanigans.

Working out is working out, but I wish I spent more time lifting weights.

Pablo and I were going on our weekly 20 mile bike rides, but the weather has gotten so cold that I've only done about 4-6 miles a few times a week.
Sandra and I went riding in Austin yesterday.
I've been wanting to ride to work, but I just cannot wake up that early.

Desiree took this photo of me after Greek Fest.
whatchoo know about heavy metal?

can't stop won't stop can't stop the beat

The past few weeks have been nonstop.

I still need to catch up on sleep.

Last weekend was Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin.

Had some fun.

Highlights:

Yelle



Descendents



and a stroll in the park with my beloved Sandra.

Headed back to Austin on Wednesday for Bingo Birthday Bash madness.

My passenger side seatbelt hasn't worked since the 90's dance party awesomeness that occured in my car.



Now, I'm ready to hit the road back to Austin with Natalie to see Tim and Eric!
