So Sue Me

Sue me, what can you do me? I haven't blogged in 13 days. But really, what's in 13 days besides 312 hours? (no, i didn't use mental math...there's this little thing under accessories called "Paint." Right above that is "Notepad."

You haven't read any posts from me lately for a very good reason...I haven't posted...but today, that changes...not the you not reading it part, but the me not posting part.

So why am i posting now, of all times? Well, I sup-post-ed it's because i left a post-it to post it today, it meaning my completely zany randomness at 1:50am.

By the way, what I was getting at earlier was that right above "Notepad" is "Command Prompter."

Anyway, I haven't been feeling the random vibe, so I didn't post. My life revolved around school. It fueled my randomity and interesting bits of my life (or uninteresting, whichever you prefer). Without school, I sit around doing nothing and thinking nothing.

Don't think I haven't tried to get out of the house. I've applied to a number of jobs, even interviewed for a few, with no luck. I was practically promised a job at a law firm, and was shooed away. Then the Daily Herald rejected me. I'm a disgruntled ununemployed worker (i don't think i'm official yet).

So, I spend my days watching my sister's softball games, cleaning my room, playing Strat-O-Matic, and waiting for my laptop to arrive. Really though, I'm content.

"Calculator" is above "Command Prompter"

So, I was at dinner today (btw, happy father's day to all those fathers out there reading this blog (I'm talking about you, Dan Beal) and I came up with a random rant, so I decided to post (this is where I whipped out three pads of post-its, carefully decided on using the green ones (i hate yellow and I don't want to run out of blue), and wrote to post tonight).

Anyway, why at restaurants do they insist on putting so much ice in the glasses. Listen, i understand that econonomically it makes sense since they have to spend less on softdrinks, but have they no human decency at all? It's the worst at a place w/o free refills, because you take 4 sips (5 if you're lucky) and you're done drinking...you suck on ice the rest of the meal...even with free refills, though, i request for less ice. I don't like the watered down taste or ice hitting my teeth when I sip or seeing light brown Coke at the bottom rather than thick syruppy Coke.



Thank you for your time.

I hoped you enjoyed the return of Ryan Morton

5/20 = Cubs win 5-3 over A's. Enough said.

- Also, Phil Mickelson choked on hole 17, double bogeying, and losing the chance for a grand slam. (that's right, i follow golf too...you'd be surprised how much I love sports...all sports...especially baseball...and curling...and water polo, where you try to hit the ball with stick while riding dolphins)

Random Factoid: You don't actually ride anything but the waves in water polo. In regular polo, you ride horses. Maybe we should ride seahorses in water polo. Just a suggestion (Shane, get on that)

P.S. = Shane and Christy, thank you...you know what for.

Pip Pip!

Today's Poll is...

Alright, my parents and I have narrowed down my graduation gift to two things. I thought I'd ask for all your opinions on it. So, tag it up!

Here are the choices:

In this corner, weighing in at less than 2CDs, wearing one of 5 colors, is the iPod (mini or 15GB...doesn't really matter right now).

In the other corner, weighing about the weight of a cell phone, wearing an infinate amount of colors and designs, is the cellphone (brand and minute plan unimportant as of now).

Why the iPod could be more worthwhile: It would allow me to not bring my many CDs to college; it'd all be right there...it's much smaller than a CD walkman...no matter how you turn the iPod, the song won't skip...I could take all my moms CDs with me without burning them onto another disk...all the cool kids have it (that one may not be as important)

Why the cellphone is more worthwhile: Depending on the plan, I could get unlimited minutes or long distance (stay in touch with friends in other states...wink, wink, BGSU) or things like that...I'd be more likely to call people and stay in touch with family...it's really becoming a neccessity (as much as I despise it)...always good in an emergency, or if you need to stay in touch with friends on campus but you don't know where they are.

Why the iPod is NOT worthwhile: It's really not that important...I'll be able to play music without it, just with a lot of CDs

Why the cellphone is NOT worthwhile: The iPod is a one time cost (I won't be buying from the iTunes or any of that...my CDs are fine), while the cellphone will have various charges and minutes fees...every month, i'll have to be paying for it...it's the gift that keeps on charging.

Thank you for your input.

BTW, how did I fail to mention the passing of one of the most beloved Presidents in American history? It was a sad, sad day. The random factoids will not be random this week...they will be about Ronnie.

6/7 = Cubs lost a heartbreaker to the Cardinals, 3-4. Rusch pitched alright, only gave up 2 dingers, but he hit one himself.

Not-so-Random Factoid = Reagan lived longer than any other President. John Adams lived 90 years and 247 days. In 2001, I had a daily countdown on a marker board in my room, until Reagan hit 90 years and 248 days...Oh, it was an exciting day in American history...Only 4 Presidents have ever lived to 90 (Adams, Hoover, Reagan, Ford)...Reagan died at the age of 93 (days unavailable at this time)...Ford is 91...we'll be waiting for more history in 2 years...

Pip Pip.

Pomp and Circumstance

Alright friends, I know it's been a while, but I'm back on track...and, with the lack of school for the next few months, I may be back to my regular posting ways...or, I'll grow so tired of it, I'll quit...either way, we outta have a really good time (reference to Robin Hood: Men in Tights (wedding/hanging)).

Now, I'm not going to be weepy or emotional or depressed like I have been in previous posts. I'm actually happy. This week was a lot of fun, so I'm not going to saddify it.

Let's start with Thursday, cuz nobody really cares what happened to me for the week prior to that...you know finished projects, watched the Cubs lose, nothing much going on.

Thursday, though, good times...Went to choir, recieved gifts and sang Friends. Sad as usual. Highlight: I didn't resign my Vice-Presidency (I found a loophole...there are no bylaws...technically, I'm still VP, and will be until I give it up...hehe...I will haunt this school)...Then, I did the announcements, my way (hehehe). I came out of the office, turned the corner, and my Stats class was standing there, applauding...that was the closest I came to crying all week. The picnic was alright...played some frisbee, some softball, that's it...come to think of it, I guess it wasn't that good, for me at least.

Friday, pretty good times as well...Did a little graduation rehearsal...went to a little thing we like to call a brunch...the food was pretty scrumpdidlyumptious...Mr. Rebeck gave a very nice speech, mentioning a ton of Chris's friends...nice personal touch...Atchison loved the Big Brother take-over of her house (I of course wimped out, thinking she'd have a breakdown)...I won most opinionated, but I already knew that....then, I went to my cousin's 8th Grade graduation...It was a class of 17, so they really got to personalize it and say nice things about each graduate...they really should have done that for SHS...I wouldn't have minded staying until midnight, would you?

Saturday was glorious...after talking about garage sales in English all year, I invited Christy, Tony, Renee, and Dave (not in my class, but that didn't matter) to go to the annual huge Timbercrest garage sale...I think they were skeptical at first, but I think they had a pretty good time...I know I did...I've never garage-saled with friends before...It was fun, looking at odd trinkets, laughing, buying cheap items...ah, garage-saling...then my sister had a softball doubleheader, but you don't want to hear about that.

Sunday, Sarah and I woke up bright and early to cantor the 7:30am mass at St. Walter Church, our first actual mass as an ensemble...I never want that mass again...we sounded like frogs...then, there was graduation at 2:00...I sang, I got my diploma, I graduated...the fun part came afterwards, when Jen, Marc, and I shared a moment with Rocky Mountain Root Beer Water...Oh, splendid RBH20...it was amazing...simply amazing...ahhhhhhhh...then I had dinner with my family at Chandlers...good stuff there, at Chandlers.

Well, enough about me...you'd think this was my blog

Going job-hunting again tomorrow...then going to school...that's right, need to go back to SHS already...God, I miss that school

6/6 = Cubs celebrated my graduation with a 4-1 win behind Greg Maddux over the Pirates

Random Factoid = 66. That's your number of the day....why don't you guess what "66" could possibly represent on Graduation Day

Random Factoid II = I have to do another one, cuz today's the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. The five beaches were Omaha, Utah (my grandpa's landing), Gold, Silver, and one other that I've forgotten.

Pip Pip!!!
