New Blog!... Why? 'Cause I wanna!

There is really nothing to report from me. My last day as an Abercrombie model/manager/ultimate badass is Wednesday. I'm happy to get out of the world of retail. I will have about 10 days off before the CPSI job. So I guess its my final Spring Break, so to speak. I plan on going on a drinking binge in Panama City. Just so I could say I went with a bang and a hangover. Woohooo! Nah, I will probably end up sitting at home reading and playing my guitars. Which reminds me. I don't think I posted what I got for Christmas this year. And I will post some other list too. So here they are:

My Christmas Presents:
An acoustic guitar
A subscription to National Geographic Magazine
A book called The Historian (I read it...it was alright not great but not bad either)
Some DVDS
Some CDS
A really nice travel bag (which I'm sure will come in handy in the future)
Some slippers (which I'm wearing now)
Various other items that I can't remember because it was over a month ago.

Other random lists...

My Top 10 CDS (in no particular order):
Radiohead-Ok Computer
Radiohead-The Bends
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones-Outbound
Sublime-Sublime
Rage Against the Machine-Rage Against the Machine
Cake-Fashion Nugget
Coldplay-Parachutes
Bob Marley-Legend
Incubus-s.c.i.e.n.c.e.
Incubus-Make Yourself

So that list was over 10. But hey! Who's counting? Well I guess its me thats the one counting since I knew it was over 10. I need to stop talking to myself. Let the listing continue!

My Top Favorite Movies (no order):
Snatch
Dumb and Dumber
Fight Club
Ocean 11 and Oceans 12
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
The Endless Summer 1 and 2
Riding Giants
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!
Rudy
Van Wilder
Dodgeball

My Favorite Books (no order):
Pretty much every Dan Brown book (they are a quick read)
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I read them all in about 3 weeks)
Freakonomics
Into the Wild
The Seawolf
A Quest for Growth
The Historian (it barely made this list)

Unfortunately due to the demanding schedule of college these are all the books I have read on my own time in the past year. And being forced to read a book for a class automatically makes me hate the book.

Things I plan to do on my Break:
Read
Play guitar
Go to the beach (yes the beach)
Eat
Sleep
Hang out with friends
Get a drug test
And I think thats it.

Cobb, out!

So. This is probably my most important blog yet.

Why is it so important? Well, because I'm announcing I got my dream job. Some of you know that a while back I applied at CPSI (Computer Programs and Systems Incorporated). Its a company based in Mobile runs a hospital program that deals with patient bills, medication and many other things for many hospitals around the country. My job, after 4 1/2 months of training, will consist of me travelling around the country setting up the program. I will be travelling 50% of the time. So, its my dream job. And I got it. Finally. My plan is right now to send in my two notice at Abercrombie. So that I will have a week off between jobs. In that week I plan on going somewhere. I don't know where yet. I'll let yall know when I decide. Its kind of funny. You can actually see my whole progression of me moving between jobs in my blog. I started of TCBY and construction work. Then a luggage handler at an airport. Then I got offered an insurance salesmen job. Which I turned down. Then I got offered another salesmen job, however I don't really know what I was actually selling...maybe it was retirement plans or cheese. Beats me. Then I got offered a job at World Omni Corp (which wasnt that bad). But in the same week I got offered a job at Abercrombie. And thats where I am. Umm I think I counted 7. But if you want to be technical I got paid to play bass at church for a little bit too. So thats 8. 8 jobs in about 7 months. Thats crazy. And kind of weird. Well thats it.
