Made it to Madrid. Well the god damn airline lost my lugage but don´t worry, I´m about to get a beer. I may stink when I get home.

Randy and I went to the Picaso Museum, Nathan and Sarah did not. In fact they are still sleeping. Rough night last night. Not sure what is going down tonight. We´re heading to Paris tomorrow.

The subways here are awsome. They are way better than New York even. They come ever 2 minutes and are very clean. The doors do not open automatically, you have push a button.

I forgot to print out my flight info for my trip back home! Luckly I had taken a picture of my boarding pass to Barcelona and was able to log into Delta Espanol to get it.

Can´t wait to upload my pictures somewhere. I didn´t bring a cable so ya´ll will have to wait. I bought a 16 gig memory card, 6500 pictures!

I got money out of an ATM last night here. Got a 1.58 conversion rate. Way better than the Airport Money exchange which was 1.88 I believe. I knew it was a rip off but I wanted to have some cash before I got here.

Special shout out to Julie for watering Fernando and mailing those dudes the tv remote! Thanks Julie!

Last night we went to the Plaza de Espana and watch the fountain show. Pretty cool and it was free! It was done to Disney music all in Spanish which was kind of funny. We had boxed Sangria wine with us, great idea Nate! Micheal was there along with Chris who goes to school with Micheal. There is some famous modern architecture there but it really just looks like a big meeting room.

After the fountain show we to some bar. Don´t remeber what it was but I blew 65 Euro there. When you buy a drink they give you your change back in chips which you can then play blackjack with. Did I mention I´m a bad gambler? Things get alittle fuzzy after this. I thought Sarah said they where leaving and I was like ¨fine, do whatever.¨ Then some girl named Sky took me to a club somewhere else. There was a huge mob outside the club and I realized I had the hostel key. So I took a cab back. I tried telling the cab driver where to go but he couldn´t speak English and I suck at Spanish so I had him drop me off at the crazy Familia church then walked the rest of the way home. I dropped my stuff off and nobody was back yet. I went downstairs just as they where getting out of a cab. Good timing.

Now we´re all hung over. Just bought some sandwhich stuff at the local grocery store. Hope to go to the Picaso museum today.

I might just start making lists of things we did instead of writting paragraphs.

FYI when you fly international you don´t get free drinks anymore which totally sucks! I´d take tains everywhere if I could. I did get one free beer with my drink. The first movie on the flight was 21, about the MIT kids who played blackjack. Wasn´t that good.

This morning I got up and went to the grociery store to get water and some pastery thingys for breakfast. Then we all went to Guell Park. It´s designed by the same guy who did Sagrada Familia. Now we´re back at the hostel while everybody is sleeping again.

The hostel is right next to the Damm brewery, which I´d like to check out. We´ve been drinking mostly Estrella which is made by Damm.

Getting tired of eating Tapas, might get some McD´s for dinner. Tonight we plan on meeting Randy´s brother again and going to a fountain show. Created by the same guy who did the Bellagio fountains.

So on the first day after taking a power nap we all went out and met Randy´s brother Micheal who is studying abroad here in Barcelona. I´ll have to fill in the details of the places we went later by looking at my pictures. We ate tapas and Sangria with all the other students from Georiga Tech. After wards we went to a Hemmingway bar and had a drink called Absent which is pretty rough. It was so rough I spilled water all over my pants then later nocked shit everywhere. Then we went to some cave bar and met some Mexicans and Brazilians. I think that´s all that happened that night. It´s all starting to come back....sort of.

We didn´t get home until maybe 3am. We didn´t wake up until 3pm! Ate some pizza and headed to the beach. We didn´t stay long. Sarah got a back/butt rub and the dude all got beer from the street vendors. We met up with Micheal again and had more tapas for dinner. Then we went to La Rambla which is the main street and hit up an Irish bar and another bar that is in a Wax Museum. Got propotitioned by a prosititue too. Good times.

Hello from http://www.santjordi.org/ hostel! Everybody is jet lagged except for me but I´m going to wake their asses up in a minute. The keyboards are different here but I think I have the hang of it now so please excuse any spelling/grammer mistakes.

My flight took forever to get here just because of the layover for 6 hours at JFK. Got to Barcelona at the same time as Nathan, Randy, and Sarah. Took the metro to the hostel to check in but we got here too early so we went to the Catherdral de Familia, http://www.sagradafamilia.cat/. This is the ugliest Cathedral I´ve ever seen. It´s a mix of gothic and modern architecture. They are still doing construction on it! They started working on it in 1896! After that we ate tappas at some random Bar Resturant. They had a no dog sign. I really wanted a Dog sandwich...j/k. We´re suppose to go meet Randy´s brother tonight. Guess I´ll wake these bitches up now.

I’m going to Spain and France! Took two weeks off for vacation. July 14^th – 25^th. I’m going to Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, then back to Barcelona to fly home. Going with some buddies Nathan, Randy, and Sarah.

Haven’t blogged in a bit so I’ll give an update.

Went to Austin this last weekend to go Toobing with the Dallas crew (me, Dean, Frank and Bill) and the Austin crew (Eric, Danielle, Cory, Mariah, Jamie, Jared, Amy and Kelly.) Didn’t go camping which I blame on myself since I didn’t get a reservation in time at Moutainbreeze and everything else was booked. Hopefully next time I can go camping. Toobing was great like always, friends, brews, and floating, how much better does it get? (besides camping of course!) Unfortunately it started raining about 3 hours into Toobing. I can handle rain but once the breeze came people started to get cold. The water was already cold enough. What sealed the deal was the lighting so we all went back to Abbotts to turn in our tubes and go back to Austin. After we got back everybody meet up eventually on 6^th street and then we all drank too much. Good times.

So my life is in flux more so than usual. I’m moving to Austin the end of July or beginning of August.. I’ve been in Dallas for 7 years and I’m ready to move on. Eric is going to let me crash at his place on the weekends while I travel to Pennsylvania during the week. I’m working out in Harrisburg, PA at least until the end of the year. I’m going to try and sell most of my stuff and put the rest in storage. After my project in Harrisburg finishes I want to try and get a spot with Accenture’s ADP program. Can’t remember what the acronym stands for but at Accenture you can go work in 3^rd world countries that need consulting services. Basically I’d take a 50% pay cut and do charity for 6 months. After that I’d like to work somewhere else aboard like Europe but preferably Australia. If that doesn’t work then I’ll just stay in Austin and keep working for Accenture. If I get tired of Accenture then I’ll either get another job or apply for UT’s MBA program.

I’m planning a sweet vacation July 14^th – 25^th to Spain with my friends Nathan, Randy, and Sarah. We’re going to Barcelona then to Paris for a few days. We plan on staying in Hostiles while we are there. I’m going to try and not think about the Dollar’s value while I’m there! My friends are going to leave on the 21^st from Paris and I plan on staying a few extra days, not sure where I’m going to go yet. Other Vacations planned are Dove Opener with my Dad in California beginning of September like always and the Great American Beer Festival in Denver with Big Jon in October. I’d also like to see a Tech Football game in Lubbock this Fall sometime. Something else on the cooker is I might go to Egypt with one of my Accenture buddies who is from there for Christmas but we’ll see.

I had an Excel problem. I wanted to change the Font and Color of a specific words in a sentence that repeated 1600 times. To select each word one by one would take forever. When I did a Find All replace it changed the color of the whole sentence, not just the one word.

I did some research and you have to write a Macro to do this. I figured out how to create a Macro to change the color of specific words in Excel Cells that contains multiple lines. The code below will find all occurances of "666-FLAG" that has been selected in Excel and change the Font to RED and BOLD. (For some reason Blogger doesn't keep the tabs so the code is spaced incorrectly below.)

HOW TO:
1. In Microsoft Excel select the cells that contain the words that need changing.
2. In Microsoft Excel go to TOOLS -> Macro -> Macros...
3. Create New Macro
4. Copy in the following code below...

Sub Find_Highlight()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim MyWord As String
MyWord = "666-FLAG" <-- change this to the word you're search for.

If MyWord = "" Then
Exit Sub
Else For Each rCell In Selection
With rCell
.Characters(Start:=InStr(.Value, MyWord), Length:=Len(MyWord)) _
.Font.ColorIndex = 3 <-- changes color of word to RED. Change number to change color.
.Characters(Start:=InStr(.Value, MyWord), Length:=Len(MyWord)) _
.Font.Bold = True <-- set word to BOLD
End With
Next rCell
End If
End Sub

5. Run Code
NOTE: Make sure Macros are enabled
