Finally I am getting to sit down and write another post after I have wanted to for about a week now. For many high schools and colleges, today or tomorrow is the last day before a long break. Usually breaks are the time to relax and catch up on everything that you haven't been able to do because school always gets in the way of everything. I have been sitting in my dorm room for the last hour, and instead of waiting for the weekend to be productive I decided to start right now. So I put the new Mac Miller mixtape on and thought of some things I could do. Homework? Too Boring. Cleaning? Hell No, I clean enough as it is. So I decided to update myself on some of the "new" social media that is out there. Before today I had a MySpace (deleted it senior year), Facebook (since Junior Year), Twitter (since September) and that was about it. I have an email address (Jhines91@aol.com) that I have had since 2nd grade and so it was time to start something new. I finally got an email that Instagram was available for Android. For any Android users that don't know that, time to go download it, and for those with an Iphone, probably time to look as you probably will be getting more followers in the next couple days. I decided to download it and have been playing around with it. The quality of some of the photos and the effects make the app 5 stars in my book. (Follow me @jhines91). The other social media site I decided to try out today was FourSquare. I have seen friends posting their locations and I always wondered why would you not just post it on Facebook or Twitter. Then I realized that "checking in" to these places can give you details and free things. That is a plus just for being able to use your smart phone. I plan on using my FourSquare account tonight when I go to Buffalo Wild Wings, and see if it works. If you Instagram or FourSquare I would love to know what you think of it or any advice on them that you might have.
In other news this weekend marks the 2 year mark since I started dating Cassidy Barber. It is crazy to think it has been two years already but I will be honest when I say that I have never been happier in my life. I can't wait for many more years to come and to celebrate it this weekend. I know we are going to go see Titanic (her favorite movie) in 3D (I hate 3D) and also going to Benihana. The fried rice with the sauce is the best food on this planet. Can't wait!
Speaking of food, I saw a link on Twitter that showed the new food that Target Field is getting this year. Among them include a cheese filled meatball that they dip in marinara sauce, garlic fries, a baked potato bar, deep fried pickle chips, bacon sloppy joes, buffalo chicken mac and cheese, and Leeann Chin. Yes everyone you can now enjoy a nice entry from Leeann Chin while you watch Minnesota's favorite team. The first home game is next Monday and if I am lucky enough to go I will have to try the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. I usually go with the Ultimate Nachos but these new options seem to good to pass up. I also saw that they were going to bring in a whole bunch of local beers to the stadium. I didn't get too excited about this until I realized that for half the season I will be 21 and will be able to enjoy a beer with the ballgame at the low price of about $7 dollars a beer! Man Target Field has such good deals and they probably make no profit off that 7 dollar beer!
Now that March Madness is over (We don't care who won..) I am looking forward to Friday and the beginning of the Twins season. Being at the ballpark is about the most relaxing feeling in the world when the ballpark is as nice as Target Field is.
For all of you traveling over the long weekend, drive safe and enjoy Easter with your families. Before you go to bed tonight say a prayer for Joe Fricke as he is still in the hospital for a head injury over the weekend. The community of Rogers is behind him and his family 100% and we hope for a full and speedy recovery. Praying for you Fricke family!
