		<description><![CDATA[No content today.. just a recap of what I've been doing the last month - Vegas, Birch Bay, yadda yadda.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After two weeks back at home in Washington, a week and a half of work, and then 3 nights in Vegas, I&#8217;m back to my old self&#8230; working, writing, studying, eating.. and hey, now golfing!</p>
<p>So I apologize for my absence from reality and lack of anything good posted here&#8230; really that last post was a piece of crap.. although the picture of me in the boat was real. That being said, I wanted to just write out a quick post with updates on what has been happening in my life. If you visit this site for content, then you might not be interested in reading further &#8211; this is a personal one guys.</p>
<p>So the fourth of July was spent back at home in good old Birch Bay, Washington. Spent with both my parents and Andrea&#8217;s parents, we spent most of our time chillaxin on the beach, eating homemade food, and playing board games. Have you heard or <a title="Thurn and Taxis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurn_and_Taxis_(board_game)" target="_blank">Thurn and Taxis</a>?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Thurn and Taxis - Image taken from Wikipedia" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Thurn_and_Taxis_(a_board_game)).jpg" alt="" width="169" height="243" />Well, if you haven&#8217;t, its sorta like <a title="Ticket to Ride" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_to_Ride_(board_game)" target="_blank">Ticket to Ride</a>, combined with <a title="Settlers of Catan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlers_of_catan" target="_blank">Settlers of Catan</a>&#8230; and if you have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about, get out and play more boardgames! &#8211; Sorry I just had to praise Thurn and Taxis pretty much because I won 2 of the 3 times we played&#8230; and I think I figured out a good rule of thumb to winning the game. Don&#8217;t worry, I won&#8217;t give it away.</p>
<p>Well, after a few weeks back in Washington, I headed back to Phoenix, with a set of &#8216;new&#8217; golf clubs in hand. Actually they weren&#8217;t new.. there was an estate sale that I took them from <img src='http://ryanjin.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Now, I&#8217;m vowing to get good at golf. Hey, if I am ever invited to a green meeting I need to be prepared.  (Pun intended)</p>
<p>So any ways, after a good week and a half back at work, I was off again, this time headed towards my first trip to Las Vegas. Long story short, I&#8217;m still recovering from that one. But if you want the rundown, it went pretty much like this&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><img class="alignright" title="Jet Nightclub at the Mirage - Image taken from ClubZone.com" src="http://images.clubzone.com/company/images/upload/jet_002.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="432" />Arrive</li>
<li>Go to room</li>
<li>Get food</li>
<li>Drink</li>
<li>Walk Around</li>
<li>Drink</li>
<li>Gamble</li>
<li>Walk Around</li>
<li>Drink</li>
<li>Walk Around</li>
<li>Drink</li>
<li>Sleep</li>
</ul>
<p>Aside from the Saturday night VIP table at Jet, and sitting out by the pool, the days pretty much just played out like that. I got to see <a title="Elliott Lemenager" href="http://www.elliottlemenager.com" target="_blank">Elliott</a> from <a title="Ryan and Elliott" href="http://www.RyanAndElliott.com" target="_blank">RyanAndElliott.com</a> though! Also Mohammad, Mersudin, Brendan, Aziz, and Salam. I told you this was going to be boring if you&#8217;re here for any kind of content!</p>
<p>And now, sitting here at my desk Friday mid morning, I&#8217;m ready to be reunited with Andrea. Its been about 15 days or so since I&#8217;ve seen her last and I&#8217;ve come to realize bacheloring it is really boring. But hey.. I&#8217;ve got a conference in Chicago and a retreat in August to forward to!</p>
<p>Content coming soon I promise!</p>
<p>Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry for the delay in some quality postage&#8230; posting. I&#8217;m on vacation up in beautiful Birch Bay, Washington!</p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll post some pictures when I get back if I have anything cool. In the mean time, here is a picture taken probably 4 or 5 years ago&#8230; I&#8217;m on a boat.<img class="aligncenter" title="Water Skiing at Birch Bay" src="http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicc/cfiles22331.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="433" /></p>
<p>Peace</p>
