**UPDATE** Sydney Swans Fall to Essendon Bombers 12.9 (81) to 17.6 (108)




It is nearly April 1st, and you know what that means? Yes it is April Fools Day but it is also Opening Day for the Sydney Swans! I will hopefully get the chance to listen live. The Swans are away in Melbourne playing at the Teltra Dome vs Essendon. You do not know how freaking excited I am for this sport. I only lived in OZ a short time but I go ape shit for this sport and I just dont know why either. It could be a combination of the hotness and the love of the sport. That's probably it.

Saturday Players Include:

Backs: B. Mathews T. Richards J. Crouch
Half Backs: L. Barry L. Roberts-Thomson C. Bolton
Centre: L. Ablett P. Williams A. Schneider
Half Forwards: R. O'Keefe A. Goodes N. Davis
Forwards: J. Bolton B. Hall M. O'Loughlin
Followers: D. Jolly, B. Kirk, A. Buchanan
Interchange: P. Chambers, S. Dempster, N. Fosdike, J. McVeigh
Emergency: N. Malceski, J. Moore, L. Vogels

Listen to the Swans or any AFL football game live on 3AW from Melbourne or 2UE from Sydney. The commentators for 3AW crack me up too much.

" The only way he was getting that ball out of the pile was through his orifice!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brodie Holland, I know you are not apart of the Sydney Swans, but I will be barracking for your Magpies anytime you play except when you play against my Swannies. You are so hot. Can I just lick you? I promise I wont drool too much. You are partly the reason I love AFL so much. And the fact that I can play the sport fairly well too.

There are only a few hotties on the Swannies but your Collingwood team is chalk full of hotties. John Anthony, you sir rank just behind mister Holland. James Clement: Hot. Alan Didak: Hot. The list continues. But dont worry Brodie, I heart you so much. I think you might even outrank Mike and Ryan. Thought I have to admit to myself I have a better chance of making out with them than you... however if you would do some Cleo spreads, I would just love that.

This post is going to be a bit of house keeping news:

1. Mum called me today to tell me, in tears mind you, that my bro officially shipped off to somewhere well she can't say. I am pretty sure his location is probably not in the US. That will teach her to vote republican. She keeps asking me what's new in my life. My brother has only been gone for 12 hours and now she is ultra bord at home. It is just her, my dad, and the dog. So I am keeping track of how long it takes her to start prying into my life more now that she can not even contact my brother. So far the count is up to roughly 13 hours.

2. Did a walk through of the future apartment today. It really is a nice place. We will have 3 bedrooms and two baths. A new sized living room. The kitchen is nicely done. Wood floors and nice cabinets. All new appliances. The building is very new too. I think just a few years. Though I thought the security and damage deposit was a bit steep at 600 bucks, Mike whipped out that checkbook faster than I have seen him do anything. He was shaking the entire time he was filling out the application. It was quite cute actually. He was like a kid on Christmas morning with all the new toys. Just so overwhelmed by excitement.

3. My little spat with the boys is over. How can I resist them when on seperate occassions they both told me they really like being my friend and they want to get me drunk and take me to the 'bars' in Minneapolis and Seattle.

All together now... AWWWW they want to set me up! Or at least get me laid. How nice of them.

Now boys we dont need to go to the cities, we can just get wasted together and make out. That would be fine with me. But we had some good heart felt talks today. So that was nice. I could never stay mad at them. I can't even stay mad at others much less them. I have the shortest attention span when it comes to being mad at someone. I'm usually over it within a few hours at most.

3a. See comments like the one Mike made tonight just drive me crazy on the inside. Mike said something along the lines of, Oh you know that guy that was in Fantastic Four, Chris Evans,... If I were gay I would totally go after him but only after you SFND.

GRRRRRR.

4. Air Traffic Control lab today was awesome today. I was working the tower departure for 28R and I was handling some heavy traffic. Had to abort a takeoff. Finally got him back into the air and then he had an engine fire on the left side and had to do some emergency proceedures. Good times! It was cool because you could see the trail of smoke and the flames shooting out the engine. And the pseudo pilot buzzed the tower with the aircraft that had declared an emergency.

And I get way too excited about the stupidest stuff.

I can only handle so much teasing and taunting from the boys. As cute, sexy, adorable, etc, they are I can only take so much. You know I like you a lot, you know I have day dreams about you, so when you talk about only having to get you drunk to make out with you, you kind of crossed a line there. Because you know you would never make out with me because I have tired on multiple occasions to get you drunk and then see where things went from there but no, all you do is just sit there and tease and taunt and do nothing.

I tried to be more flirty with you both but you both seem to pull away. Why can't you make up your mind? Are you just naturally flirty with everyone? Are you craving attention so much that you have to continuously tease me? What's with the laying next to me, saying you are burning hot and then proceeding to take off your pants? Am I suppose to roll over and help you remove your boxers too? And the backrubs? I quite enjoy them but seriously finish up what you start.

I will still continue to daydream about you and you know you will not disappear from my dreams but be damn sure that any sort of come ons will not be returned. And learn to fucking iron your own bloody shirts, R!

And that concludes my stint on whining today.

------------------------------------------------------------------

In ATC class today, I did 45 departures in 30 mins. Not bad, but not great. I did have some taxi issues with some planes. Stupid American 424H was all over the place today. Got takeoff clearence from Ground. (WTF!) Had to abort the takeoff. Then sat nose to nose with another aircraft at the taxi way clogging up my 28R runway for a few mins. Then after he finally got rolling he had to declare an emergency because he had an engine fire on takeoff. WTF!

Heading to open lab on friday to do some sims in the 360 degree tower! WooHoo.

Dear Mike and Ryan,

I am dragging this morning, but last night was fantastic. Thanks for hanging out with me. I really just needed a 'guys' night. Thanks for the backrub Mike. It was fantastic again. Twice in two days, Mike you are so very much giving lately. I quite like it. That one spot you hit was fantastic. I think I nearly O'ed right there or at least my leg moved just like my dogs when i rub behind his ears.

Ryan, your rude behavior towards me when I asked you to explain rankings in hockey was a bit disheartening; however, you made up for it later that night by flashing me your chest and stomach several times throughout the night. Like I said before, Hockey has done your body good. Your 'relaxed' sweat pants and tee outfit was a nice combo too. I especially loved your messed up hair. I had many daydreams the entire day about just coming up to you, yanking you into the shower and fixing that little devil horns problem.

Mike your playful nature despite your hangover was very attractive. You managed to give me several cases of blue throughout the night. But you probably already knew that. Your playful touching and farting, giggling and laughing, and all those rolling about episodes were well worth the lack of sleep.

Now having said that, boys you both know that I am desperately lusting after you. Ryan you should know I am lusting after your hockey body, those adorable eyes, and that facial scrub you pull off so well. Mike, you should know I am lusting after your body too, your adorable smile and that personality that makes anyone wonder why you are still single.

But seriously boys, keep teasing. I like it.


Sincerely,
SFND

How do you make the straight guy you are swooning over say, "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!".

You give him your NCAA College Hockey Playoff Ticket.

I actually didnt just buy the ticket and give it to him. I was at work last night and one of our guests that was staying with the mini hotel the uni runs was so disgusted with his hockey team losing that he decided to go home early. He changed his flight and everything. So being the good person that I am, I sat there and talked to him on the phone for a good hour just talking about hockey and other sports. You know being the good front desk clerk.

As he was checking out he handed me his ticket to Saturday night's game and said enjoy. Thanks for being so kind and nice to me.

I was all pumped up to go too. Mike let me borrow his Sioux jersey and I was having fantastic hair day. I was looking beyond hot. As the last moment, I saw Ryan. I thought, he would enjoy the game more than me. Ryan is a HUGE hockey fan and I dont know if HUGE is a big enough adjective to cover his great love for hockey.

I gave him the ticket.

He would enjoy the game more so than myself. What a great friend I am. And that is how you get the guy you are swooning over to follow you around like a puppy.

Quick Question/Response: I have some free downloads with Apple for my iPod, I need some songs asap... it expires on 30 march. Let me know what you think I should get. I am looking to expand my musical horizons, so something local and new to your areas would be interesting.


It is nearly April. The snow is starting to melt here. The birds and ducks are returning to campus. I am still horny as hell. Yep it's Spring. And with Spring comes Fall 2006 registration.

I have been picking out some courses that I need to take to graduate and then some courses I want to take before graduating. Holy Crud, I am nearly graduated. I just have a few more hours after next semester and I will be out and about in the REAL REAL world. It is quite scary.

I know quite a few people that are graduating this semester. I should be graduating this semester but really who gradutates uni in four years anymore. My parents actually expected me to graduate in 3 years. Ha! They were hopefull weren't they?

The REAL world scares me. It is not like I have to go out looking for a job. It will be basically handed to me the moment I graduate. Yeah I may have to wait a few months to a few years but I am pretty much handed a job once I pass my security clearence and my FAA testing. Don't want to hire a loser now do we?

I know my parents are antsy for me to graduate. They keep pushing and pushing me to do summer school. They keep wondering why I picked up extra courses not related to my major. E.G. Foreign languages. Science courses. It is not like they are flipping the bloody bill anyways. No wouldn't want to help our first born through this part of life, maybe keeping his personal student loan debt under 6 figures would we? Instead of helping me purchase books, you have to buy new power tools. Instead of helping me with tutition which is rising 9% next year, you will buy some new kitchen gadget you will use 4 times, then shove it behind the blender where it will attract 2 inches of dust. (No, I don't sound bitter do I?)

---------------------------------------------------------
Ryan stop drinking the milk, hockey has done your body good instead. I saw Ryan in a towel tonight.

Mike you took my breathe away.... literally and figuritively. Wrestling is fun, I haven't done it in a long time. (Nothing sexual, pervs.) Though you do owe me dinner for making me sit through physco poem lecture lady today.

Having a night job really sucks. It is seriously cramping my social life right now. I could be at home right now, watching movies with the straight boys all curled up on the couch but no, I am here making sure all the drunk ass people make it home safely and handing out keys because they lost them on their way from frat row to their housing complex.

I have decided to only work one day a week next semester at this place. I am really tired of working for this place and having to come in at night and do the 'bitch' shifts. Apparently they need competient people on the night shift because the f-ing dippy girl works during the busiest part of the day, when I get the joy of working the overnight midnight shifts.

My job online is working out great and it is providing an excellent source of income. With my summer job starting in just under a month and a half and the online job, I will be able to not work whilst at uni, which will be very nice. Gives me plenty of time to drink whiskey with mike, get ryan drunk as hell off rum and cokes, and take advantage of both of them.

Just kidding... I wouldn't take advantage of them.... or would I?

Sam told me that I should make a move. I am worried that if I do that, things will get weird. I don't want it to be that way. I have always told myself that I would never make any moves on guys that were my friends or roommates. It would just cause too much drama.

But Sam tends to think that they are curious as hell and that I should make the move and if things turn weird, just laugh about it. I guess he could be right, what's the worst that really could happen?

Oh, I know. Drama!

Today's Air Traffic Control class was MUCH better on my end. No crashing or any close calls.

I think I was just nervous the first day in the actual 360 degree 3-D lab. I worked a bit of Local control on 28-R today. It was nice. Kind of boring since inbound traffic was non existant. Yeah Local 28L you can cross 8 billion planes. RCC. Blah. I think I actually only talked to 4 pilots the whole time. North departures are not busy really. South departures are though.

Speedbird (BAW) 332 Heavy, Acedamy Tower, Fly runway heading, winds 300 at 10, Runway 28 Right cleared for takeoff...... (just a few mins later) Speedbird 332 Heavy, Contact Departure on 119.5, have a great day.

And that's what my day consisted of. However, when I was working on the other side as the pseudo pilot, the Local controllers had a big mistake. They gave a Heavy clearence to cross an active runway while another Heavy was taking off. They crashed. And the system actually sent out firetrucks and closed both runways. So we were looking a bit like JFK at 8am with about 40 planes sitting on the ramp waiting to take off.

Rainman, I am planning on moving out to the west coast to do enroute or center. Probably for LA, Oakland, or Seattle. I'll make sure to handle your plane with extra care when I get the chance. Just give me a few years to get out there.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Spring horniness continues here. Today Ryan asked me to rub his hair to see how soft it has become. So I did, and I just couldn't stop. I think I played with this hair for a good few minutes before I had to leave with a book in front of my waist.

A group of friends and I were talking about how comfortable all of us seem to be with our sexuality. Mike began rubbing Ryan's leg. Ryan began rubbing mine. Mike stopped. Ryan did not. Even after I looked down to make sure I wasn't doing it to myself, then the meeting of my eyes and Ryan's eyes resulted in the continued motion of rubbing my leg.

I believe that they have this mindset in them that by showing physical affection towards me this is their way of telling me that they care about me as a friend. And I realize this, but F-ing A, I seriously have the worst case of blue balls. If you are going to start something, you better well finish it up.

I spent half the day yesterday starring at Mike's ass. Stupid zebras and their putting dirty thoughts into my mind. (btw I took this picture)

Break out the cheese cause the 'whine' has already begun to flow. I do not want to be back in Grand Forks but I do want to be back at school hanging out with the friends. I F-ing hate spring because it makes me so horny and all I can think about is getting it on.

Everyone seemed to have a good time over break.

I have a huge case of the Mondays. My day started off good. I killed 550 people this morning in ATC class. The planes went from green to yellow to red to blinking red to blank screen. Mondays suck donkey balls on a hot sweaty sticky day.

Lets see if Management and Physics go better than ATC. At least I cannot kill anyone in those classes.

See what utter bordom at home will get me? Booked yet another trip home from NoDak land. This one trip is actually important. Dad is getting a major promotion at his job, and I thought it would be nice to fly home to see him get that.

April 21-24: I will be in San Francisco

April 29-May 1: I will be in St. Louis

May 12-?: I will be in St. Louis

United sure does love me.

The last few days of break have been interesting. Sarah and Anne just left for Grand Forks after being here for 2 days; Online work has been nothing short of a pain in my side; And bordom has set in already. But lets start all the way back at the beginning. Shall we?

The flights back were very nice although bumpy. Got bumped to first (business) after they over sold economy. So that was extremely nice! Hit some bad weather in Chicago and StL. Did a few altitude drops. Those are always fun.

Sarah and Anne arrived on Monday night. We went out to my favourite place to eat and drink. Spent Tuesday in Forest Park, walking around the Zoo, eatting out under the sun, and did the tourist thing at the top of the Arch.

Work has been the most stressful though... (online work that is).

A commenter who never revealed his name tore my entry to shreads, posted on a public/pilot forum and then proceeded to allow people to post on my site whose comments dug deep. I took the comments personally, but I never once responded in harshiness to their comments though. The bosses responded in kind though. So I took some time off, and now I am back with a fury. It's always nice to hear personally from the bosses that you are doing a fantastic job, and to keep up the excellent work. Always an ego booster. On the bright side my site numbers tripled in just 12 hours. Plus I get paid to type, they don't... so Piss on You!

I gots a new mobile phone too. Isn't it cool? I think it's pretty niffty. I just noticed this posts are pretty boring when there is no mention of certain males. Though everyone needs a break from time to time.

Fun with Real Conversations:

Mike: SFND, I am so drunk!

Me: I am too. Damn you Mike, Damn you and your tasty Whisky.

Mike: If I were gay, I'd totally be with you.

Me: Awe, that's so sweet!

Mike: Wanna cuddle?

Me: Uh...

Me: Uh...

Me: Uh... Mike I don't think that is a good idea...

WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! I should have said fuck yes, you want to be in back or front?

If you are from the northern plains or even central Canada you might know what Broomball is. It is basically hockey but with "broom" ish like sticks and a ball twice the size of a tennis ball. An extremely fun game it is.

I finally got a chance to go watch since their game was on Tuesday night instead of Thursday nights like normal. I ended up getting the first hug from Mike because he scored a goal. I didn't know that guys gave other guys hugs when they scored a goal but fuck I will take it!

Ended up going out to the bar for a drink, then taco bell, back to watch some Family Guy at 1.30am in my room and then another 2 hours of tv flipping in the room until Mike, Anne, Ryan, and Matt all left around 3.15am.

Fuck me, these 8am classes are killing me. At least none of my planes crashed today. I was actually doing quick turn arounds today. I was doing departures and I was running about a departure every 70 seconds.

JFK runs about a 45 second departure schedule. YAY go me!

"United 6-22 Cleared for take-off, Runway 2-8 Left, Winds 1-8-0 at 1-0. Have a good day. American 4-2-4 Heavy, taxi into position and hold."


And thats all my nerdiness you need to endure for today. Just 3 days until Spring Break. YAY!

Apparently I crossed the line from caring friend to mothering. One piece of advice, never ask your friends if something is wrong, it only leads to mothering.

BARF.

I think we ALL need spring break to come quickly!

Well Mike and Ryan both got an ego boost last night.

Ryan was checking some email and facebook entries on my computer last night when he went to sign into his AIM account and noticed that I had a left over IM open at the bottom. I caught him reading and smiling a bit. Here is basically what the IM window said:

I've got to jet, the two hotties that I am eye humping right now are in my room. I'll catch you later after I get done with them.
What a nosy guy. But I am sure his ego grew a bit bigger after that, but hopefully something else grew too. (Man I am so dirty.)

Mike's ego grew a lot too. He was checking out some scores on my computer of the basketball games and was being nosy too, and stumbled across some of my uploaded pictures. Inside the "My Pictures" folder I havent gotten a chance to organize them all so random pictures are not in folders yet. Well he opened that folder up and surprise surprise, about 8 random pictures of him grace my folder. He just turned around to me, smiled and continued.

I need to start passwording my computer or I need to create a special "Ryan and Mike" account on the welcome screen.

The sweat, tears, bruised shins, and even a bit of blood caused from moving the room around has started to pay off already, only some 8 hours later. I unlofted the bed and put the two singles next to each other and now I have a queen size bed in my room.

I plan things out way too much when it comes to everything. Making myself more 'avalaible' to the boys is no exception. I left my door open on purpose at 3am. The lights were on. I even had the tellie on just loud enough they could hear it from the lobby. I am like some lion stalking his prey. Drawing in his prey to the trap.

My gay saga reads like some Animal Planet Safari special.

"The lion sits quietly in the brush as his prey walks unknownly into the trap. He inches quietly towards the prey. We can see the lion has a very long patience. He sees the prey close but waits to make his move."

Mike was laying next to me on my left. Ryan next to me on my right. Heaven doesnt get any better than this. Oh except Sarah wouldn't fucking leave so we could make out. At least my imagination was working properly. Mike is totally a bottom and Ryan is a top in mind and I am somewhere sandwiched in between.

Who needs to be drunk when you have friends like this to dream about.
