HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE

Just wanted to say happy birthday, seeing as how i said it on time, after midnight.

Kegger!

Ok, so Saturday after I got off of work at Ciao! I went over to Dan's house party. For someone who doesn't get out that much this is a big deal. I ran into some people from work, and some other people who I hadn't seen for a long time (Trent and Katie B.), so it was all good. I've never been to a kegger before, so this was quite an experience. There were 2 kegs and, best thing ever, there where Jell-o shots! I love those suckers! So I downed about 5 of them after my first beer. Mmmmmmmm......... Tasty. And I know this is gonna sound weird, but we ended up playing eucher for drinks. This isn't as bad as it sounds until you end up losing 2 to 10. Yeah, that sucked. I got kinda trashed, but we stayed up so late that I sobered up enough to drive home after a nap and some coffee. Fun times. I think that I'm going to try to go out more so that I don't feel, on the rare occasions that I do go out, I don't feel like I need to cram all of my partying into those few nights.

In other news, this week I'm on spring break. It kind of sucks because everyone I know is going on break a week after I am. Just one more con to going to school in MI when all my friends live in OH. Ahhhhhhhh............. Well , on the upside, I can sleep in a lot! and I plan to do just that! Sleeeeeeep................... WooHoo!

Movin' to Tampa

Great news!!! Matt Drake is leaving Walter Reed Medical Center and going to Tampa FL!!! Thursday on 13 abc they said that Matt was no longer at Walter Reed, and that "The next step in Matthew's recovery is intensive therapy for his traumatic brain injury at an army center in Tampa" Is that not good news? I think it's good news.

Anyways, I have work pretty much all day today. It sucks, but at least I get free food and money. Mike, if you guys are still planning on going out tonight, just give me a call on my cell phone (the number to which I sent to you in an e-mail) and I'll join you after I get done at Ciao.

Random thought,

Me: I think I'd make a good member of a large crowd.

Oh that's messed up

So get this, Amanda, I actually went to Bootleggers last night, not knowing that you would not be there. So yeah, me and Zmudge walked around for a while looking for you, but we were unsuccessful, now I know why. Anyways, as for Bootleggers, it actually was pretty fun, I was surprised, I ran into a bunch of people I know, I had a shot of 151, and a bunch of beers. But yeah, we'll go again, and as for hanging out with your hot friends, that sounds great.

So a guy walks into a bar.....

YEAH!!!!! Now we've got a guy here! Muwwaahahahaha.
Anyways, I'm happy to have you here Mike, and it's okay that you won't be posting as often as Maggie and myself, you need to take care of your stuff first. I invited Pat to since I don't get to see him as much as you guys. Besides, sometimes there might be a little to much estrogen here for you to handle all by yourself. Well, maybe not if you get Maggie started on cars. Hehehehehe..............

A note to my ladies, and Mike. I will have to beg my way out of Bootleggers tonight seeing as how I am feeling very under the weather. Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry. I don't know what I've got, but I know it's not nice. Good news for Mike thought, that means you're off the hook for showing up and hanging out with me and my hot friends, although I think you'd like it a lot if you came with us one of these times. I'm still up for going out with you guys for Johannas B-day on Saturday. Just give me a call, and if I'm not at home someone there can give you a number to reach me at.

On the front lines of school, I had the rest of my midterms today. Most of them weren't bad, but my modern social problems teacher is a complete terror! She can't stay on subject, most of class is her talking about places she's lived (including Canada, not that I have anything against Canada), the study guide she gave us doesn't match up with our notes and it contains terms and ideas that aren't even in the book, not that she uses the book as a main teaching tool anyway, she's not even a sociologist!And she blames us for our bad test scores even though (from what I can tell from the people sitting around me) we all read the book and took copious amounts of notes! It's not that I'm not learning anything, I mean her blaming us is an example of the person-blame approach (blaming the individuals for their failings without looking at the bigger picture). I think a better way to look at it is to take the system-blame approach (blaming the system for the failings of the individuals).I think that the school hired her without considering the fact that she would be teaching a subject in a field related to, but not her major. She sees herself as a good instructed in her field and assumes that it will transfer across to other subjects. That's not the way things work. Seriously, I don't think that I've ever been so disappointed in any class I've taken. Ever! I mean, she doesn't even know what a scantron is! It really doesn't help that the text we're using is about as dry as the Sahara. Grrrrrrrrrrr.................

A special note for Maggie, I love the shirt!!! It's totally awesome and, at some point, I'm sure I'll wear it to Bootleggers with you guys. Have fun on your weekend trip and I'll see you Tuesday at the latest, maybe Sunday for the oscars if you're back in time.

So a guy walks into a bar, and he's totally naked except for a pair of jumper cables around his neck.
Guy walks up to the bartender and says "Give me a scotch and soda."
Bartender says "Ok, just don't start anything."

Yeah

Whats up Amanda and Maggie, it's Mike. I accepted your invitation to your blog, although I can't promise that I will post on this one much, because I have my own blog to maintain, but I will post every now and then. So, how is everyone doing tonight? I had work tonight, it it sucked so much ass, you don't even know. It was just a rough night. I have to study for a test I have tomorrow, I should go do that soon, but yeah, I just wanted to say hi for now.

Short poem

A poem by Robert Frost

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I'd hold with those who favor fire
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice

Holidays and Corsets

I had school today too, and it sucked! Not that I don't like school and all, it's just that I don't like getting up before, you know, 10 am and sitting in a classroom for a couple of hours. As far as I'm aware, there is no "Kings" day or "Prime Ministers" day, and for that I am very glad. Most of the holidays that we have in the U.S. are total bunk anyway, or they have some sort of religious connection that isn't really relevant anymore (not that I have anything against religion). I mean, come on, "Sweetest Day", "Bosses Day", "Kids Day". We need some decent holidays people! In Brazil, they have a national orgasm day. How sweet is that? It would be awesome to leave work early to celebrate that holiday.

In other news, after talking to Maggie and hearing about her new corset, I decided to go home and try mine on with some nice pants to see how it would look if I did wear it downtown for clubbing. Let me tell you what, I knew I liked corsets before, but Damn! I looked totally hot!I'll take you up on the wearing corsets clubbing Maggie, we'll definitely get the boys that way. (Also, I technically have a bodice. Corsets are torso coverage only, bodices have shoulder straps.) Maggie, I'll see you tomorrow for Buffy night. Mike, if you're reading this, I totally understand why you guys didn't show up at Bootleggers, the line was really long. See you at Frickers!

Gotta Bone Ta Pick

'K, not fair. I had to go to class today. I seriously think that the birthday of a couple of famous dead presidents calls for a holiday from school! Just an idle curiosityness... is there a "King's day?" or a "Prime minister's day"? Could it be that corporate America has created another strange and irregularly celebrated holiday (i.e. President's day)? I happen to know of at least a few people who got a freebie today and I went to work today thinking "Okay, I'll check online to see if there is no class at UT when I get a chance..." of course I got my hopes up! Who wouldn't? We are literally only a few calender squares away from spring break (March 5th, baby!) and at this point I am so excited to have a vacation from stress 'n stuff I can almost taste it! (with my labial frenullum... yes it's a legitamate body part, you sickos!) Here's hoping Hallmark can help out next year and come up with some ridiculous holiday.

In any case, class was educational and I learned a lot of neat stuff...

Love, and Bootleggers

I'm afraid, very afraid to fall in love. I am the wuss of love. It will take more than a mere man to convince me otherwise. Why you ask, am I so afraid of love? Well, Maggie knows (see relationships 1-5). I don't think that it's worth my time and emotional investment to go into a relationship where I'll just end up hurt. And I will end up hurt, that’s just how it is with me. Besides, not everyone gets to can have a cute, romantic, movie style relationship like what you've got. Anyway, I now have another person on my blog! So now it won't be just me talking to myself! I'll be talking to myself and somebody else! How awesome is that! Honestly, I don't think I could've found anyone better to join my blog. Bring on the insanity!

On the party side of things, Bootleggers on Thursday was friggin' awesome!!!!!! You have no idea how sweet it was. When we ( Maggie, Jen, Jason, Tim, and myself) got there, the line was to the end of the building with tons of people waiting. Some guy had thrown a beer bottle at another guy, so the police and a fire engine were there. We got inside and meet up with some other friends, had some beers and started dancing. The live band there actually makes country music great to dance to. During that song "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" Maggie's boyfriend Jason picked me up so I could "Ride the Cowboy" so to speak. It was really sweet! I think we're going to out there again next week. I can't wait! Mike, I'm sorry we didn't see you there. Maybe you guys can come with us next week, it's worth the wait. See you guys at frickers on Tuesday, I might bring Maggie with me.

Thursday night at bootleggers:

Me: "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy". WooHoo!!!!!

Me forget...

One thing everyone should see... click here... NOW!

(for all you Quicktime laggards, download that shi-at! It's worth it! Have I ever steered you wrong before?)

Hello folks, this is my very second post. (The first one with the picture was just an experiment...) When I have great deal to tell you all I'll post more in depth... I'm busy falling head-over-heels in love! Y'all should try it sometime! Girls don't be afraid to be swept off your feet and guys, don't be afraid to pick up a broom and do some damn sweeping !!

I just had lunch... do I have anything in my teeth? 

More of the" Would You Rather?"

First of all, I would like to say Happy Birthday to Zmudge, who forgot it was his birthday until the actual day it happened. Congratulations, you've beaten my personal best by a whole day! Anyway, I'm bored, so here are some more of my beloved "Would You Rather?" questions.


Would you rather...
hit every red light for the rest of your life
OR
always be wrong?


Would you rather...
have your range of sexual body movement equal to that of a He-Man doll
OR
speak like Yoda when attracted to someone?


Would you rather…
be able to expedite the arrival of an elevator by pressing the buttons multiple times
OR
have the ability to send incredibly natural and sincere on answering machines?


Would you rather...
have your cell phone ring function set on "Airhorn"
OR
"Taser"?


And finally


Would you rather...
be restricted in writing utensils to lip balm
OR
have to insert "bucket" as every other word you say.
Example: "Hey, bucket, Seth. Bucket, how've, bucket, you've, bucket been?

Behold the awesomeness of me!

So, I've come to the conclusion that I am totally awesome. Not only did I ace my psych test, but I did it in about 20 minutes on less than 4 hours of sleep. I'm awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now I'm having a beer at my friends place basking in my marvelous glory, and waiting to watch Buffy. Tuesday is, I think, the biggest social night of my week. It sounds kind of sad, but it's busy enough. I'm normally in class from 2 pm till 9 pm. After that, I go over to Maggies for"Buffy Night" where we watch one episode and have some beers. Next, I head over to Frickers the meet up with "the guys" for wings and stuff. It's a blast and I don't think that I could do without it, I'd miss people to much! Gotta go now, we're gonna start Buffy soon and I need more of the beer.

Would you rather?

Just something to think about for a bit.

Would you rather be forced to preface everything you say with the phrase "Tuck it in" under threat of being slapped,

or...............

have a magnetic head?

Updates on Matt Drake

Ok people. Now that I have the power of the internet in my hands, make no mistake that I will be using it as much as I can. In this post is a link to the Olivet Lutheran Church for updates on Matt Drake. Matt was wounded in Iraq last year, and is the only surviving member of the attack. He was hurt pretty badly and was in a coma for several weeks. I knew Matt a little in my high school years, though I didn't go to northview with him. His church's website is the best place I've found for any kind of new information on his condition. While they don't update as often as they could, the little bit of news you get is better then none. The link to the page is http://www.olivetsylvania.org/ Other than the church, I've found that the news on ABC does an update on his condition and progress every couple of months or so. For those of you who know him, I hope the link will provide you with some semi-regular updates.
On the bright side, I've been getting some good feedback on my poem. I'll probably add a new one every month or so. Wish me luck as I go off to make dinner! Maybe I won't burn myself this time.

Well, it took a few tries but I finally got the god damn thing to work! If I'd known that a black background would cause so much trouble, I would've picked a different one. Anyway, I've decided to post a poem with hopes that it won't get stolen or made fun of. If you want to post back, don't flame it. I don't need that kind of hassle. Enjoy!


She Falls Like

She falls like Rain
Cooling your senses
Like diamonds from the sky

She falls like Leafs
Wakes in the morning and cries
Diamonds scatterd on the floor
And on the bed
Where you left her

She falls like Stars
Through the atmosphere
Wind whips at her body
Her hair

She fell in water
Drowning

Here's hoping this works. Welcome to my blog! As you may guess, this is the first time that I've had power over what is said about me over the internet. I like the power very much. I don't really think that a lot of people are going to see this site, so I won't feel to bad about the content of my ramblings and such. Mostly this site will be for the posting of my poetry, thoughts, and emotional catharsis. Feel free to post back if you stumble upon this site and have something constructive to say, or if you know me. Also, please excuse any spelling errors that you find, sometimes I type to fast for my own good.
