| Title says it all. Wonderful seeing those of you I was lucky enough to see.
The music was pretty effing awesome, too.

| I have insanely short hair now. I donated nearly all of it. Some of you have seen, so you know. I likes it. No hassle.
I am over-worked and underpaid.
I've realized it's really sad when a check that you already thought cleared actually clears. I have 16 dollars. Super.
MN Health Care has let me down. I intend on calling them Monday. And yelling....lots of yelling.
My car still runs. Out of everything that's happened....the Camaro has yet to let me down. It's a relief. Especially due to the money thing noted above.
I'm 20 years old, and haven't really been allowed to celebrate that.
I made that choice when I took my job. I accept full responsibility.
But it's all good. For some reason....it's just all good.

| Hello. It's been awhile, hasn't it? Yeah....geez I'm sorry about that.
Today; I helped a random lady in my apartment building carry a mattress down three flights of stairs. It felt good. It felt right. She slipped 10 dollars under the door to our apartment sometime tonight too. I'll thank her if I ever see her again. It's weird....there's so many people around me, yet it's almost always quiet and....I don't see too many of them. I do like the fact that when I do see someone most of them say hello. That feels right to.
My life's been hectic, you know? Hah, of course you know. Everyone knows.
I saw a packet of papers with my name on it....it had the names of a few other works too. There were two letters next to my name that might just dictate my near future. Those letters were "GM." 20 years old....and someone's putting GM next to my name. It's crazy. I won't say I haven't earned it, because for once I feel I am getting just as much as I'm putting in. I have along way to go with it....but I think I deserve it. Ross had those letters next to his name too. It's not finalized.....but I have a good feeling about it.
Two years ago if you asked me if I'd still be in the restaurant business a few later I would have laughed at you until you walked away. But now it doesn't seem so far off. No....it almost seems like a good fit. But so did web page design, video game design, network technician and computer programmer. But here I sit....with a serve safe certificate and the door to my future potentially staring me in the face. What's a guy that just turned 20 to do? Seize opportunity, that's what. This could be it. This could be that break I've wanted forever. And it's all because of a roughly 1,100 square foot building and the pizza industry. But this could be it....
Well, in any case I should get some rest. Big day off tomorrow. Gotta do some Father's Day stuff with my dad. I know I know...it's late, but we were both busy up until today for the past few weeks. So I'll be around B-Town tomorrow night. Give me a jingle.

| Y'know....I like this whole restaurant bit. The work isn't too rough, aside from the multitude of burns I've accumulated. I get to meet new people every day, and get to know the regulars better and better. I've also learned that I really like the customers that bother to read the name on my hat. They use it too, which blows me away. Instead of "Hey, can I get..." or "You, I need this...." I get "Hey, Jesse is it possible...." or "Jesse, how come every time I come in you're here?"
But you know what I just outright miss? The B-Town crowd. The apartment experience is incredible. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I wouldn't trade anything back at Buffalo for the world either, and I feel kind of like I have.
I guess it's just weird knowing almost everyone's back home but I don't have the time off to go back and relax. Hah, relax....that'd be a trip.
In any case, things are fantastic. I've come to realize four guys can generate an incredible amount of....well....everything I guess. But at the same time, four guys can make an apartment spotless in an hour. We're all pretty impressive like that.
But hey, if any of you kids have some time to make it out my way stop at Tino's sometime. Chances are I'll be there. And if I'm not, I'm literally less than a mile away.
So....well, have a great Summer. I hope to make a trip back to my dad's sometime. Maybe we can chill? Maybe...just maybe.
G'night.

| " Son,
Every once in a while in your running-everywhere childhood, I'd see you in a moment of quiet and catch a glimpse of the man you'd one day be....I knew you'd be a good, loving man. I knew I'd be proud of you...I just never could have guessed how much. "
I keep it next to my bed. It helps me gather myself for the day. It's really nice to read it.
It's just really good to know I make him proud.
G'night.
" Mission Accomplished "
