another week rolling by!

hi readers!

another week has rolled by in paris and i must say it has been incredibly busy with work. i have a roommate now, he's the project manager of the case im working on, older gentleman, but he graduated from chantilly high so what a small world this is!

nothing new really happened, i must say i am loving this paris weather, i cant get over it. low of 65 highs of 75 every day! the food is amazing, although baguettes, croissants and cheese are getting kind of redundant. i tried to mack on a girl and failed today too :( french women are harder to holler at than american women!

this weekend will be fun though, i plan on heading to the louvre during the day and perhaps a parisian casino at night O_O on both saturday and sunday :D

blog update again soon with pics!

chicken normandy and my first 9 hour day

sup loyal readers,

ahhh my first 9 hour day! quite a busy one, clients having issues and our system not working as planned. it all adds up to a tiring day.

after being referenced to as a "redneck in paris" ive decided to practice my french and hit up a hole in the wall joint on my way home from work. i destroyed chicken normandy. unfortunately i didnt have my camera but it looked exactly like this, except instead of green beans there was a small salad



now im watching some french south park and surfing the webs

until next time!

eiffel tower and CREPES!

hi guys

work today was pretty ridiculous, request after request, got some work done and headed out early with my boy prathit. we hit up the eiffel tower and hit up some CREPES! omg after all these years reading about crepes i finally got a chance to eat one and... GODLY.

after the crepes, we went to the eiffel tower and took a dozen pictures. its quite surreal, reading about the eiffel tower in books and in french class so many years ago. i never once thought i'd be in paris by myself looking at one of the 7 wonders of the world.

here are some pics...


CREPES!!!


me and my boy prathit


HIPSTERS WORLDWIDE SON

next post will hopefully be some pics of the louvre

holla!

hi guys

2nd day in paris, i passed out for 12 hours, its about 8:39am here and im about to head out to work.

pics so far will be updated on my facebook :D

I am in Paris!

yo guys! i decided to update my blog for the duration of my paris trip.

cliff notes
-im going to be in paris for 32 days (until June 16th) for work
-im going to update this blog as much as i can

today was pretty uneventful, i made my flights, i couldnt sleep on the plane cause of crying babies and my first trip on the Paris metro system, someone tried to steal my wallet and i caught them. dirty french... jeez

now i am in the office about to die cause i am on 4 hours of sleep

will update soon with pics of what i got in paris so far

it has been a while loyal readers!

apart from finding jobs and studying for the LSATs nothing has really changed. i really plan on updating my blog often though, just to jot down some thoughts about life, poker and my endless pursuit to find my special someone.... lol jk

actually, after last weekend my view of the native american culture (navahoes xD) will be forever skewed thanks in part to dim lights and copious amounts of alcohol.

let me give u some cliffs on that night

boy drink alcohol

boy sees girl

girl talks to boy

boy talks to girl, drinks with girl

girl is all over boy, hugs me kisses boy

lights turn on, boy is shocked, boy blames decisions on alcohol

girl still likes boy, boy wants to shoot himself in the head

boy nearly goes home with the girl but boys friends save him

:( it was a rough night.

although i can say that i made some new friends that night that were really cool, i can only hope they think the same of me.

which leads me to my next random thought. friends make life so much easier. i know on facebook/myspace or whatever u can have 1000 friends, but are they really your friends? true friends know how you are feeling, what to do when you're feeling that way. true friends make sad and dreary moments just a bit better. friends make the world go round whether its a friend from high school a friend online or a friend you've just met. so i guess my conclusion is... make friends! you never know whats gonna happen if you don't :D

austin out

it's been nearly a month!

it's been nearly a month but i figured i would update on my life.

1. i graduated! well not officially, but i walked and am talking the last class of my undergraduate career. woohoo!



that's me waiting to get my name called!

2. sadly, i had an allergic to reaction to something i ate and it escalated to a skin problem my mom had when she was younger, so pretty much i inherited my moms skin problems :(, im taking like 2 pills per day and like 3 lotions, such a pain in the ass

3. i met hung huynh from top chef last night! me and alex went to pick him up with his manager tom, funniest guy ever, turned out tom went to the 1997 mtv music awards! hahahah hung was a crackup too, he was a down-to-earth kind of guy who exuberated the same confidence that was shown on topchef. funniest conversation was while driving around d.c. i pointed out a hookah bar and hung goes "hookah? you guys smoke herb?" i nearly crashed my car lol, that and conversations about playing pool for cocaine and stuff, came to a funny car ride taking him to the restaurant. all in all hung seemed like a cool guy, he's past the top chef point and he's trying to get his career started by opening up a restaurant in NYC. shout out to alex who fucking ratted me out to the restaurant boss to make me clean, you bitch.
