I am moving my blog to joshuagriffis.com. I switched hosting companies and have a wordpress server I have full control over. All legacy entries will remain here if you need them for any reason.

This weekend was the annual Stag party for the Southern Ohio Dog and Game Protective Association. My father, my brother-in-law, my uncle, and myself are members of the association, so naturally we like to volunteer to help out. The Stag draws some 1800 men to festival offering all you can eat and all you can drink for 6 hours for the price of $45. Deep fried chicken, burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, lunch meat, fruit, vegetables, turtle soup, beer sausage, soda, and beer adorn the menu of choices. Horseshoes, cornhole, poker, blackjack, big six, raffles, and shooting the shit with the guys are the things to do. It is always a lot of fun, and I can't wait till next year.

Sunday I picked up the final Harry Potter book. I'm ashamed to say I'm only 8 chapters in so far, but I'm hoping to finish it by next week.

So some of you already know, but today was my last day with Pomeroy IT Solutions. A local busniess has offered me a Security Analyst position and more money than Pomeroy was paying.

The Pomeroy chapter in my life started in November of 2005 when I signed on for a 6 month contract at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. After the contract was over I ended being asked to stay on at the Columbus branch. And that's where I've worked until today. I be sorry to leave behind the people I worked with, but I am looking forward to start this new chapter in my life.

Mine was "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

We sold 1516 glasses this year, a far cry from last years 1973 but it still isn't bad. The rain on Sunday evening is probably what did us in. I guess we can't have two years in a row with perfect weather. besides the festivals 14 year resident weather witch wasn't in the mood for the migraine and bathroom trips that would ensue by trying to fight it off.

Monday I went to the movies with Wayne and Brie. We saw Pirates of course, which kicked major ass! Afterwards I ended up at their place for one of Brie's exquisite home cooked meals.

I left their house late, and got a nice surprise on the ride home. My low beam heads lights went out 1 mile south of string town. After an hour long task of finding and testing all the headlight fuses, I still was without low beams. So I had to drive from Stringtown to Sawmill with my High Beams on. I've got an appointment tomorrow morning to have it looked at and fixed. I needed an oil change anyway.

Well it memorial day weekend, so that means I'm working the St Dominic's festival selling lemonade with the family. We sold over 500 glasses tonight, averaging about 100 per hour. Some fucktard also broke out Shantel's car window. They didn't steal anything, so that was cool. Ok, the bed is calling my name.

For those of you who don't know who this fucktard is, this is the moron who tries to scare game publishers with mindless and baseless scare tactics to change there mature rated games. His most recent fight is probably going to back fire worse than usual for him. I guess one can only hope for the best.

So Katy, Mraz and I hit up the newly remodeled Movie Tavern in Mill Run today to see Shrek III. For those who have been to Studio 35, its a much better design. For those of you who haven't, here is the run down. You buy your tickets per usual. 30 minutes before the show starts, they seat you. You walk into a theater that is layed out with full row tables and many individual executive office chairs. A server comes up and takes your order, and its a full service restaurant. They've got the usuals like popcorn and candy, but they also have burgers, salads, bottomless drink refills. When your food is ready, they bring it out. If you need anything, you hit a call button, and the server shows up. They drop your bills off 30 minutes before the movie ends. This redefines dinner and a movie. I would have to say this was the best movie going experience I've ever had. After the movie, we did run into who looked extremely busy. He did take the time to say hi. Hope he gets to rest soon. As for Shrek III, it rocked. However, I am very biased when it comes to the Shrek films.

Afterwards, Katy and I headed over to Trevin's to deliver his birthday present. I resotred a IBM 390E laptop and got him a wireless router.

Currently we are sitting in food como mode, helping Trevin beat Spiderman 3 on the PS2.

I know I'm going to burn in hell for this one, but don't shoot the messenger. It was on my google home page quotes today. XD
