And the winner will receive....

See what happens if I win?



Aren't we cute?!

How's that voting going???

Rivermen shut out San Diego 3-0

I love hockey...

Hockey game last nite was a blast. I bought a jersey (ive been wanting one for 2 years now), it was cheryls first hockey game with us, jeff took his son, and good times were had. We did have an incident with the "fans" in front of us though. Guy listening to play by play on his walkman and stuck up old lady with him kept getting mad when we would yell and cheer the team on. Um.. if you want quiet.. dont go to a game. They then proceeded to reprimand Tonya's kid because he jumped up in a heated "shot at goal" and obstructed their view for 1.5 seconds. Tonya reported them.. "no one tells her kids what to do - they came out of HER crotch, no one elses" HA! You tell em..

Quite amusing indeed..

Sarah and i ventured downtown after the game...went to Sully's for $1 Long Island Iced Teas.. Yummy... and guess who we saw? Travis! He was there w/ 2 of the rivermen and some chicas. But he did smile at me.. and then came by our table and said hello. How nice of him :) I wasnt sure whether i should have gone over and talked to him or not.. and i didnt say bye because their girls were hovering and i dont want to look like im stalking the poor guy (like one of the other competitors in the contest). Sarah did say that he watched us walk out and had the look like he was going to say something as we walked by... so i screwed that up i guess.. oh well.. We had fun.

We went to Richards and got food after Sullys. Needed something to absorb the 2 long islands, cheesecake shot and kool sex shot that i downed in less than a half hour. Satan and Jesus were on staff for the evening along with the awesome waitress. Based on Cianas recommendation we get a Dr. Pepper shot NOT KNOWING that its a "bomb" shot and we drop a flaming shot (yes you light it on fire) into a glass of beer. I hate beer. So me being a pussy...we just drank the shot itself - sans the beer. Jim, the guy that did my tattoo, showed up and we chatted for a bit.. he threw up the offer for me to have sex with him.. i denied.. talked a bit more.. and went on our way. Hes a cool guy.. owns Twisted Vision Tattoos and is a good artist. Check out the tat he did for me...

So we ate.. had some jaegerbombs (yummy) and by that state of blissful drunkenness we left.. carried on a gibberish yelling conversation w/ jeff ( or tried to anyway ) and went to the apt and kicked it for a while..

I talked to Zack for a while.. and i really like him.. totally awesome guy..and has good taste in music.. sarah and i are gonna go to chi-town sometime soon to party and he will be in tow hehe.

good times...

Budweiser B^e

We tried this stuff at Sully's the other nite..

I am a non-beer drinker. I can't stand the stuff. I have tried multitudes of it and its just...gross.

But B ^ e is awesome.

Check it out....

Peoria Info has been updated *gasp*

OK.. change of plan.

They changed the voting site. There are only 8 of us to vote for and they reset the votes.

So, at this point, voting is uber important...

You can vote more than once. In fact you can vote more than once a day. I think there is about an hour wait time before you can vote from the same computer again.. so go for it!

Send or link this to anyone and everyone! Like Bill said..show 'em what bloggers can do!

Thanks Bill for all of your support! You rock..

GO VOTE :)

Techno? whats that? is it rap? ::cringes::

I hate our music scene here.. if you like country, light rock, old rock/metal, oldies, rap, or classical/jazz.. you are set..

I am not one of these people..

Where is the punk? the techno? the industrial stuff?

Peoria Radio...well... blows... to be quite honest..

travel anywhere..chicago..st louis.. you can find anything you want onthe radio.. why not here?

A friend of mine is a dj and we were discussing this at a bar one night..and i guess he didnt know i liked the whole techo/trance /industrial stuff..and was apalled that he found someone that actually knows what it is.. pathetic.

i was talking to a guy online today and he sent me some links to mixes he and others have made and i have filled my late morning/early afternoon with listening to these playlists..

so if interested check out his site
or the site that hosts all their music so you can listen to it

fun stuff..

i am off to attempt some more cleaning... we'll see how far i make it hehe :)

Single Male II - First Elimination

OK... so voting is still open at the peoria info site

You can vote more than once from the same computer, IP, etc.. there is just a wait time basically and thats oh...about an hour, tops. so keep on voting!!!

Hopefully they will weed out the people not participating.

also more pics were taken so check out 99x's photo album and you can see who made the top 10 and other pics that were takin throughout the night.

Also, there is no elimination next wednesday...it will be the following wednesday.. same bat time same bat channel... so thats an extra week of voting! w00t!

and now.. a recap of the night.

So Sarah, Jeff, and I headed downtown to Sully's last nite for the Single Male Elimination round. Sarah ventured through the shot list and found some new fun drinks. Cherry Cheesecake shots are awesome! She said Kool Sex shots are good too. There were also Budweiser representatives down there promo-ing the new B2E energy beer. I hate beer. This stuff is good. It has ginseng and other "make you happy" stuff in it and it doesnt have a nasty beer aftertaste. We got free sample cups and Jeff got the guy to bring a couple cans to our table too.

Briana joined us shortly after the first round of drinks and our food order. she is awesome! if i get nothing else out of this experience - meeting her would be worth it. she is a fellow contestant and fun person to hang out with. we exchanged phone numbers this week and plan on going to some hockey games and hanging out in the future. i really want her to make top 5 so im going to try and vote for her on the site because i am pretty sure that the website is still going to choose who gets eliminated. she is currently lowest in votes (she knows no one in peoria) so im going to try my best to get her in the top 5.

So my fear happened. there were about 3 girls that showed up last nite that didnt show up last week... and since we only had 5 contestants, they let them participate anyway...which i think is a load of crap..but oh well.. these are the names of everyone that made it (in order of appearance on the peoria info site) : Anita Rose Thomas, Tracy Neveau, Me, Katy Ferguson*, Erin Jeffries*, Tracy Lane, Carol Williams*, and Briana Karczewski. (the ones w/ the * by their names are the ones that showed up for the first time last nite.) there were some that were there last week that didnt show this week... so i dont know if they will still be allowed to participate or not.

There were two events of the night... the first was a Battle of the Sexes competition. since there were 11 guys and only 9 girls some of us got to go twice... i got my question right which was awesome but then briana and i went again together and got our question wrong..so we lost..but hey i dont feel so bad not knowing which of the following is not a brand of chewing tobacco.. yech.
The second event wasnt sponsored by the radio or anything. it was more of a game that briana, tracy, tracys friend kelly, and i played during "mingle times." One of the contestants is obsessed with Travis... granted he is hot.. but good lord... there were also a few of the rivermen down there at a table and this girl would NOT leave them alone either. she was either at their table or latched onto travis... so anytime she was up on him, the four of us would go talk to him...thus him having to direct his attention away from her.. and same w/the table of players... we did the same except the table of players said that we were their heroes.. i know i am an awful person for being that way but travis said himself "she is trying too hard" and it makes everyone uncomfortable...

so yeah..the nite was fun.. our tab was $90.. i owe sarah bigtime.. i left with a really nice buzz thanks to her... she got some pics of briana and i, her and jeff, and travis, briana and i (which turned out awesome) which will all be posted to my webshots as soon as sarah uploads them and yeah...

I am sure that we would all agree that we resemble a celebrity in some way, shape, or form... I know i have. Have you all seen "The American President?" When i was working at Panera i had a guy come in and swear up and down for 10 minutes that i looked like the president's daughter.. riiight..

Then there is bill.. who thinks i look like Kellie Martin. I remember her being my idol when i was 8 years old..but i dont think i look like her at all!!!

The most popular suggestion is Katie Holmes. EVERYONE says i look like her(though i can pretty much guarantee im 100lbs heavier than she is) but in the face and mainly the eyes i can say i think i kinda resemble her... So i looked at some pics of mine..compared them.. and here we have it..



this one looks kinda like my single male bio pic on the peoria info site..maybe if she would SMILE once in a while.. geez..


there are more pics at my webshots i just didnt feel like messing with it anymore...

So... kellie martin...i dont think so.. if i were going on celebrity lookalikes i would have a better chance w/ katie i believe..

and i must say..that was pretty easy... im beginning to enjoy this whole blogging experience.. its a lot easier to post pics IN a post... i like that better than links... thanks bill!!!

i want to thank everyone who went to peoria info and voted...

they are still accepting votes and you CAN vote more than once.. i am in the top 5 of the contestants on the site and if you take out everyone who wasnt there for qualifications i would be in second place.. w00t! thanks again everyone!

we have an "elimination" tonite. what i am fearing at this point is that the girls that werent there last week are going to show up this week and they will let them participate. they told us before that we HAD to be at the kickoff party to be a contestant so if they allow more people then i think its bs.. but oh well. if they do elimination by votes im still in the top 10.. well.. top 5 even.. but yeah..

keep on voting!!! and i will update more later!

Single Male II

Sooo.. there is this thing that Regent Broadcasting is sponsoring called the Single Male II competition. Girls participate to win a date w/ Peoria Riverman Travis Rycroft and the guys participate to win a date w/ last years winner Renee Hill.

I dont really know what i was thinking at the time - but i entered the competition...

Wednesday (1/19/05) was the Single Male Kickoff Party at Sullys... click the link for pics from that nite...

http://www.99xrocks.com/99x-pix-sm2sullys011905.html

Only 8 of the 20 girls that signed up at www.peoriainfo.com showed up and about 12 of the guys showed.. some competition this is.. lol

We have an elimination round on the 26th at sullys again... so it should be interesting..

Now.. the peoria info site is still up and counting votes as we speak.. so everyone should go there.. and vote for me :) i'm not as pretty as half the others... so i need all the help i can get at this point hehe

off i go... will update later about the elimination...
