Alright, everything seems to be working fine now, so I guess I'll fill in some of the blanks between last July and now.

- I did go to New Orleans. Had a great time, except the Bucs fan I went with who was going to go to the football game with me was sick the entire time and just stayed in the hotel room. Luckily, two other friends came down with us too. One cautionary note: if you go to Pat O'Briens for the Hurricane (something like 5 different shots of rum, but tastes like fruit punch), don't drink 4 of them. I did, seemed to be fine for a while, then boom! Next thing I know I can barely walk, am babbling and get kicked out of a bar (and apparently, narrowly escape being arrested). Back in the hotel room I then passed out, puked up some red crap, and then started yelling at my friend who was cleaning it up. All this is what I've been told anyways, I don't remember anything past drinking the Hurricanes. In general, New Orleans is a pretty dirty place. Though I did enjoy the cheap beer. Nice place to visit once but I doubt I'd go back

- went to see the Dolphins play the Bills in Buffalo. Had a great time, tailgating was awesome, the game was good since Miami won, plus the fans weren't as bad as I'd been lead to believe (though it may have had something to do with the fact that the game was meaningless since Buffalo had already missed the playoffs). Only thing that sucked was that US Customs seized our hamburgers because apparently there was some sort of beef ban...at least we still had sausages

- went to my first ever Leafs playoff game, game 1 against Ottawa...of course the Leafs lost that game, but I still had a hell of a time...was very drunk, very loud. Sucks the Leafs lost to the Flyers, really thought they were going to pull it out, especially in game 6 when they came back to tie it...ahh well, shit happens

Other than that, nothing has really changed for me. I'm still single of course, still live at home, still working for the family business with no prospects for any changes...just keep rolling along.
