OK...So I'm going to admit it, I am just too lazy right now to write a blog every couple of days like I used to, but I will try to keep it updated every week. Besides my life is a little slower paced than it used to be, so there isn't usually all that much interesting shit going on. But as of right now, I am back at home in Minnesota doing that Christmas thing and its going pretty good. It's nice to be back home, and seeing everyone. Unfortunately nobody wants to drink, except for my Old Man and his friends, but I am only able to see them a couple of times this trip because of the vehicle situation at my moms. So I have only be intoxicated once, halfway through my trip, but boy did that intoxication go good. It pretty much consisted of My Old Man, His Friends (Who rock by the way), and myself doing what I like to call the Lakeville Truffle Shuffle. It generally consists of the Champps, Green Mill, then Babes, well I missed Champps, but made it to Babes at about 730, and started the consumption. Played a little Silverstrike Bowling, I rock at that game, and then proceeded to find out that My Old Man and his friends were going to give me a late bday gift and pay for all my drinks, woohoo!!!! So, we drank some more, ordered a pizza, and my Old Man wanted to go home...Now normally he'd prolly be able to get away with this, but I put a stop to that...I talked to the fellas, and they said they'd be by to pick me up for Babes. Not two seconds after we pulled in the driveway, was Dr. Evil pulling in behind ready to give me a ride. We had to twist my dads arm, it pretty much went like this:

Evil "Whiffy get in here"
Whiffy drops his head, and responds somberly "Alright"

I guess I get my willpower from him, lol. Nothing super interesting happened at Babes, except for a couple of drunken phone calls, and apparently I decided to let My Dad and Smoke (Who is no joke) talk to a certain individual that I may not have if I were sober, oh well, I don't think anything bad was said. Our cab showed up at about 2 am, and we got in and Abu had a trainee...Well I took it upon myself to break this trainee in, unfortunately the little bastard didn't crack...He didn' say a fucking word, I don't think there is anything more frustrating then when you are drunk, and trying to fuck with someone, and they won't cooperate, agh, at least I tried. We got back to the apartment and had one cocktail that my Old Man had been raving about all night...Captain berries and Cream...I won't tell you what the secret ingredient is, but its the best fucking cocktail I've ever had....And very festive too =)

The next morning, we had a ceegar with my Uncle and cousin at Champps, and proceeded to watch the Redskins blow a 14 pt 4th quarter lead, and fuck up my parlay...BASTARDS! Then I headed back to Mankato for Christmas with my Mom and Aunt, things are always fun there because my Uncle Jon loves games, so he introduced me to Guitar Hero 2...I sucked at it, so gave up after about an hour, but my brother got it for Christmas, and now I am hooked on the damn thing. The damn game is wicked addictive and extremely fun. We finished up there, My mom cried, seems like she cries for everything these days, and made the trek back to Two Harbors.

Haven't done much of anything here, went to a movie with my brother, worked out as best I could with no weight room to go to, and that's about it. I still have a few more days left here, and am pondering moving back, there are a couple of reasons for it, but the main one being I just wanna be closer to family. I'm a big family guy as is the rest of the Bakken side of the family, so it'd be nice to be back and see them regularly. As for some of the other reasons, I'll just leave those unmentioned for now. But who knows, I really love it out in Vegas except for the three months of ridiculous cold, and extremely high prices of everything. So I'm going to think it over for a month or so and figures things out. There is one thing for sure though, I do wanna reside in Las Vegas in the fall, winter, spring and summer in Minneapolis.

That'll be all for now
