run faster, knile davis

hello there, blogosphere.

since bock and i were last reunited (see previous post) quite a bit has happened.

i moved out of my apartment on thursday the 30th.  usually this wouldn't be significant, except for the fact that i moved during a frickin huge blizzard.

blizzard: "imma rape you!"
me: "this sucks."

before i moved, i had to defrost my minifridge.  so i basically had no food whatsoever.  the plan was to (late thursday night) make a grocery run.  i hadn't been outside since unpacking in the afternoon, so when i called my girlfriend to ask if she would help me get groceries, she said, "are you stupid?  have you seen what it's like outside?"

in the 2 hours or so i spent unpacking, it had snowed about 8 inches.

touche, north dakota....touche.

friday morning i got a call from my girlfriend asking if i could come help dig her car out of the ditch.  i had nothing to do (and no food) so i gladly offered to help figuring i would get a nice meal out of the deal.  as soon as i took my neon out of its new driveway, i found myself stuck in the middle of 7th avenue blocking both directions of traffic.

i carry a shovel with me in the trunk of my car year-round.  after tirelessly shoveling every square inch underneath, around, in front of, and behind my car i was still unable to get it to move one inch.  after seeing all of my struggles, a guy who was patiently waiting for me to move (i was blocking him from using the road) helped push me out.  big props to that guy!

i finally arrived at my girlfriend's place and shoveled out her car.  we went to her parent's house and shoveled out their driveway as well.  i was treated to a nice lunch and soon realized that yet another blizzard was on its way to fargo.

touche, north dakota...touche.

within hours all of our cars were buried.  considering that her parents live just outside of dilworth...none of their roads were plowed.  i wasn't able to leave until sunday afternoon.

whatever, north dakota....whatever.

yesterday i drove back to brainerd where i will spend a few more days of break.  unfortunately, i'm sicker than a dog, so hopefully i'll be feeling better in the coming days.

it's back to fargo (weather pending) on thursday.  hopefully bockmed and ahmed will be reunited in fargo for the weekend.  if so, it will be a weekend of epicness, i guarantee you that.

i don't yet have internet at my new place, so i can't guarantee any new blog posts for a few more days.  but once i do get internet, i have a few stories for our loyal reader(s).

keep it toasty, TBTOO.
