Its weird that the only sport I watch now is my school's college football game. I really don't enjoy watching hockey anymore (damn canadians), or nascar for that matter (thats right i've been a nascar fan since i was 5) i mean come-on Matt Kenseth won the winston cup this year?. I'm in a really lazy stage right now, where i dont really feel like doing anything, i can't wait until tuesday. I wanted to go to dave's play tonight or last night, but i was too lazy, plus i only have 20 dollars left til i go home and i need it for the show im going to this week. I like going to doug's blog, its a kid who was a few grades ahead of me in highschool, and even though I've never known him, he's always had funny websites that i've come across through steve, or someone else.  Oh and Captain Janks is hilarious.. "E-Ro"

Last night i went to see Murder By Death, The Format, New Amsterdams, and Straylight Run at the Blind Pig. It was a really good crowd for a sold out show. Actually I liked all 4 bands after seeing them. Murder By Death has a kinda Koufax sound to them, and they have a cellist.The Format has 4 guitar players and a singer that doesnt play an instrument, but it worked in my opinion, which is rare. New Amsterdams(who is just the get up kids' lead singer Matt Pryor's solo side project) were excellent. He was really entertaining even between songs talking to the audience, which is weird cuz he never has said too much at the getupkids shows i've been to. He covered justin timberlake, and that Hey Ya outkast song, but he somehow made it work. Then was Straylight Run, who dont have an album out yet. I think they were decent :-/ . I'll buy their album whenever it comes out. I get to see them with Hot Rod next week anyway.  I have pictures if anyone is interested. Today was my last true chem lab,  i dreaded going to that class so much. I have to do a lot of studying this weekend, for chem. I've been playing a lot of mariokart double dash which just came out this week. The nice thing about nintendo is how loyal they are to their past, they have all these traditions established.  I wish i could keep this more updated, but nothing really happens, everyday is boring, but not like hang myself in the closet boring, just like i cant wait til christmas break boring.

Listen i want to let everyone know something, MESH TRUCKER HAT THINGS ARE just plain retarded!! I dont know why everyone thinks they are cool, cuz they just suck. You have to be the biggest douchebag to wear one. Oh and other thing, put your collar down!! i hate when normal kids wear the collar of their shirt up. I never saw this until i got to uofm, It doesn't look cool, it just looks like you forgot to fix your collar, so FIX IT! "E-Ro"

Sat. Nov 1, 2003
Steve and Ryan are visiting. Our wall of fame is growing fast.  it has 8 people on it already. We went to the blind pig today to see Hey Mercedes and a band i like, Damone.. I thought it was a pretty good small show. The chick from damone can really shred. I dont personally like  |Hey Mercedes' albums but they are a good live band. So overall a thumbs up show. Itunes is an amazing program. i can stream the music of anyone in West Quad, i uploaded all my good music, its a really nice program, for a mac :-/. Well the chem exam went decent, i passed, not great but passed, so thats cool. "E-Ro"

Mon. Oct 20, 2003
Hmm, i completely forgot i was planning to switch to the blurty site last summer, but i guess this was just easier. I kinda wish i could enter the extra cool things like Current Music. How cool is that? Well last friday my nephew Avery was born. He was born healthy, i cant wait to watch him grow up. I bet he'll grow up fast with me not being around much. I hope i can live at jims over the summer, or even better my parents wont have moved. Our room has this great Wal-ofame in which we take a picture of anyone who comes in here and put it on our Wal-Ofame. I think im turning into a screenname collector. I have a Chem exam a week from tomorrow, i am confident that if i work hard enough that i can tear that shit up. The thing about going here, is that i dont think you can over study. In high school you could study for a little bit and get 100% but here it would take 4 hours of studying for anything to get that kind of grade, im just fine with the fact that im not getting straight A's here. I am trying to make a list of things for my parents to bring me this weekend. I'm always in need of stuff but when i actually thing about it, i can never come up with anything. So far i have ICEES, water, poptarts, and pretzels. Its funny that whenever i watch shows about nazi germany and wwII , i always feel i understand why hitler did what he did. I think he had a good vision of what a perfect world would be, but he just tried a method that was too flawed and sinful. Well, my birthday is coming up on saturday, 19 is old. It sucks that all my memories will continue fade away and be forgotton. I wonder if you get all your memories back after you die. "E-Ro"

Wed. Oct 15, 2003
Hmm, i really dont have much to talk about. If you like the same kind of music i do, you will love the new emo game! Well the old one was pretty damn good too! emogame.com I had a few days off last weekend for fall break so i went home, it was nice to get some time off. I went with dinah and some of her sisters to a frat the other night, it was the whitest situation i've ever been in. Not a minority in the room, not even an asian. Aaron and i were pretty much excluded from everything while we were there since we aren't greek, but thats ok. I really like this new Damone cd i got last week, im going to see them at the blind piggie in a few weeks. I really should make an effort to update this more often, My nights have been consumed with Full House at 9, and south park at 9:30. I watched full house reruns a lot when they were after the cartoons on fox when i ws little. I never really liked the show, but i always watched cuz cartoons were over at 5, and dinner wasnt til 6. But now i watch cuz that show somehow became a significant part of my childhood. "E-Ro"

Its raining more than just raindrops, thats right its raining shit too. Time for changes. If you are from a place that has the word Bloomfield in it then go away you are a prick douche-bag. "E-Ro"

Tues. Sept. 23, 2003
Wow, im so cheesed off right now. My favorite thing here is short grained rice. But i like to eat next door at the nice south quad cafetorium, but for some reason their shortgrained rice is lame. However today i ate lunch i had the West quad shortgrained rice and it was perfect. This is what i think south quad does. They somehow cook Longgrained too make it a little stickier to pass it off as short-grained rice. I hate Long-grained rice! "E-Ro"

Thurs. Sept. 11, 2003
I've been kinda occupied with stuff, lately to write in this. Im not saying i've had too much work, cuz i really havent, the workload is fairly minimal thusfar. I've been running into ben becker a lot lately here. I actually am pleased to see that theres just as many people making fun of the liberal pc tree/bunny-hunger. The best thing about this place is the Weezer to Dave Matthew;s band Tshirt ratio. Its like 3 to 1 in favor of weez. I guess that means people here actually have enough independant thought in them to realize that DMB is just awful crap, but one weird thing is that i see guys wearing John Mayer shirts?? I understand if they are gay, and i wouldnt have a problem with that, but i dont think they are! A lot of  my time has been spent watching the Family Guy DVD VOL 2. I've already seen almost all the episodes but they are so timeless, i like watching it with dave peterson is around cuz he can usually explain some of the references that aaron and i dont understand. The best thing about college is that the school days just fly right by. Our rooms a mess, but that can be easily remedied. It seems like all the  kids here are either smarter than me, or try to hard, but in some cases it could be both. "E-Ro"

Wed. Sept. 3, 2003
Wow, these last few days have kicked my ass, It's not the fact that i dont like my classes, cuz i like them ok so far.Its the fact that i have been submerged in this new culture, and my place in it is just completely different from the place in my old culture. Before i used to be smarter than pretty much anyone i met on the street. And i felt that i was cool in my own way. Well... Now there are a million kid that like the same things i do, dress the same i do. And they prolly are smarter than me, and if not there are a million other kids smarter than me,  ofcourse i mean booksmart. I'll be fine i just have to get used to this mediocrity. I really wished there was more than one f'n ping pong table on campus. "E-Ro"

Fri. Aug. 30, 2003
Well i went to the Reggie & the Full Effect show last night in D town... Moneen opened, and i guess that were pretty decent. My Chemical Romance and Midtown werent really my taste. There was a pretty live crowd for both of those bands. Reggie was sweet though. During the song F.O.O.D. i got pelted by Reggie with a bbq chicken nugget and got bbq all over my shirt. But at least i didnt get face blood spit all over me. This is the first post from my dorm. Its pretty nice in here. I really havent done anything, Everyone is at the football game right now "E-Ro"

Thurs. Aug. 28, 2003
Well i moved in today. and came home. Aaron and i have a really sweet room. Across the hall is Saginaw High Athletic Stand outs Lamarr Woodley and Jerome Jackson.. I hope they dont see this site, cuz my ass is good as thugged. Wow i hate MTV. Its so lame. Since Family Guy is rising to popularity again, it should come back, or atleast give the seth mcfarlane guy a new series."E-Ro"

Wed. Aug. 27, 2003
I'm listening to The Offsprings Conspiracy of One right now. What happened with this album?? The band spread out 3 great classic albums between 1994 and 1998, but this one just bombed in my mind. I mean it cant be due to them selling out, cuz they did that after they signed to Capital Records in 95. Maybe they just got old? Its kinda disappointing. Well im busy packing. I actually dont have that much to do.

Sat. Aug. 23, 2003
Wow, i watched "Last american virgin"  and it is the greatest politically incorrect thing i've ever seen. I love it. I could probably compile a 5 page paper talking about why that movie could never be made today in our messed up over PC society. The movie basically promotes under-age drunk driving, and unprotected premarital sex/abortions. And i could go on and on about it. It was great. I dont even want to get into the 2nd thing we watched, but all i can say is wow, im glad i worked at eudici's and not a burger king. "e-ro"

Fri. Aug. 22, 2003
Well i went to MSU to visit sarah, or should i say Heritage high V2.0..  Everywhere i went i ran into people from school. I mean it was nice to see everyone, and hell some i may never see again, but it just seems funny to be going away to just be around the same people. I saw Sarah, Jessie K, Jessica K, Jennifer Rice, Eric S. and Eric J., Sara T., Ashleigh Y. Cassie B. Jason S. Chyi Wang. Mike N, Brandon Fink, Jon homann,Tyler G, John Leblanc,  Pat Suave, Aaron B. Joe P. and Steven M..    I am sorry, but i maybe i would expect to see that many heritage kids walking around Delta, but the largest populated campus in the country?? wow! I dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing that everyone is hanging out with big groups of their highschool friends. They will prolly get sick of it after a few weeks. but actually i had fun today just walking about campus.i kinda wanted to go into some stores but i didnt get to. I am happy to say that the u-m food is much better than the msu food in the cafetoriums. "E-Ro"

Thurs. Aug. 21, 2003
Well I slept a lot today. Later i went to sanford on the trails. I fell quite a few times , but i made it over all the log piles. A lot of hardcore (some may say rolly-core) stuff went down.  later i just hung out at steves. And we drank ALE81, and watched the Orlando Jones show? Oh and steve yelled at Nirmal Mankani while we drove by him earlier "E-Ro"

Wed. Aug. 20, 2003
Hmm i have so little to talk about and so much time to do it, wait strike that reverse it. Yesterday i went to verizon with sarah to get a phone, and oddly enough aaron walked in like 5 minutes later to get a phone. Well, sarah left today for school, so no more crappy tv/movies for a while! Today aaron and i went and played some pretty good tennis.Then we got new china. Driving around i saw Mr. Pete Tyson twice in a new Toyota Celica!! I still like him a lot for letting me on the bus with charcoal and grilling equipment. Hmm iwent fifty cent bowling at LeFevre's and there was some sort of Mormon(LDS) bowling outing?? I didnt know Mormons did stuff with other mormons(actually i never thought there were any outside of utah until this year)?? I saw some dancing?? Are they alowed to dance? I bought a Wonka Bar at 7-11, and i looked inside as soon as i opened the door, and pretended i had a golden ticket and yelled"Run Home Charlie" and i ran to panorama apparently susenbeckly saw me and gave me a funny look. I didnt really get a golden ticket though:(. I saw Kurt and Dave Peterson inside Panorama. We rented Freddy got fingered, pretty good putting aside the predictable Tom Green Antics. For the record i didnt say anything bad about mormons. Its kinda weird how saginaw has so many ethnic communities that stick together. U have greeks, blacks, indians(india), now mormons, Shieldians(better left to their own kind), mexicans, gays have bambi's, probably jews (but there arent many around here probably due to the large german poplulation in near by frankenmuth) I bet Asians have a place (the local Honda dealer). Well y cant i be special? I think i understand what caused hitler to have thoughts of ethnic cleansing, he just felt left out. "E-Ro"

Sun. Aug. 17, 2003
So today my dad and i went out and i bought a cell phone. I am pretty sure i shocked the salesman when i said i just wanted a decent phone. He was like "wow most kids your age come in here and know exactly what they want" I cant see myself using a cell phone for anything more than talking to my parents, or sarah. I dont understand y anyone would want to text message someone when they can talk audibly. I think i may try to get a cool ringtone but thats it. I also bought one ofthose all-in-one printers, with the scanner built in. Im kinda stoked about having that. Sarah stopped over later with jessie, shayna, jessica gibson, and kelly. I was watching Conspiracy Theory at the time so i never saw how it finished, sigh. "E-Ro"

Sat. Aug 16, 2003
ah, well today was my last day at eudici's pizza, and i enjoyed working there very much indeed. I have all these little bites around my ankle, i think they are fire ants? I must have gotten then at steve's while BFing (Thats BF for bonfire, u sick weirdo, i know u were thinking bullfrog) Today the AOL Headline screen uses the word "EMO" to describe Dashboard Confessional. Wow emo is now considered that trendy, that just sucks. But thats ok cuz i still dont know what it is exactly. I need to do something tonight, we'll see! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN IT!!! My favorite current band Motion City Soundtrack is playing at the shelter in october, but they are touring with Rufio, the worst piece of shit emo band thing that has the biggest following of douche-bag 15 year olds. I am sooo pissed off right now! I gotta get a new homo-mesh hat so i can fit in there!!"E-ro"

Fri. Aug 15, 2003
Today my bro got the day off due to the massive power outage. We decided to go to the mall, and there i heard a classic "speaking of rod stewart" and i saw michael a. Kumaus and kevin kumaus drive by, I later saw zack macomber, he had a large beard going. I bought The Anniversary cd today. Today Nicole put PINEAPPLES ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE PIZZA!!!!! after i had put them on the proper side. I hope she reads this so that she'll be truly sorry >:)  "E-Ro"

Thurs. Aug 14, 2003
Hmm, so i saw the new hhs planners, and they are soo lame. They look like they are straight out of 1993.  all i have to sum that up. Well i've gone biking 4 times in sanford, and i really enjoy it. I kinda wish i had a grand lying around and i could buy a really nice bike, but my FREE BIKE is kinda nice though too! I bought Van Halen I, and Reggie & the Full Effect cds yesterday both are great. Today the biggest black out in us history occured, the lights at work went out for like 5 seconds!! Mass computer rebootaged occured there! There is a new kid at work, and he had a canadian 5 dollar bill, needless to say all credit was lost."E-Ro"

Fri. Aug. 8, 2003
Well I went back to Sanford today. It was muddy and so fun. Steve then paid 5 dollars to go swim in the lake for 10 minutes. Did u hear someone famous is running for goverenor of california? Thats right, u guessed it, Gary Coleman. Im not joking either. I went to get my usual postwork slurpee and i came out to find the one and only decktek parked next to me!!!!! I Snapped a pic really quickly, but it is blurry in my car window. If u wanna see it just ask! I'm not doing anything tonight, im  very very bored. BTW , i found that new Nerf Herder EP at media play. Its good. Well next week is my last week working. i had a dream last night that i called up mr dehne and thanked him for the stra presentation lastweek. "E-Ro"

Tues. Aug 5, 2003
Today i went to sanford with aaron and steve to mountain bike on their trails. They were pretty fun i must say. The most exciting part was when a turtle darted out in front of me. Luckily i evaded, ok i lied , it didnt dart, it was just kinda sitting there. I got this awesome new alarm clock that projects the time on the ceiling!  So it saves me from turning my head 30 more degrees to see the time in the morning. But actually i have often noticed that when on top bunk its hard to fashion an alarm clock to an easy visible spot, so its worth it. I found out Nerf Herder rereleased an old EP with bonus songs, i wonder if i can find it. "E-Ro"

Sun. Aug 3, 2003
Hmm well, Less than a month now til  i leave for school. This summer has gone by fast i gueess, but it does seem like a while since i've been in school. Yesterday i worked and went to a Star Party , and my old astronomy teacher Mr Kevin T Dehne was there. I heard some black guy ask him "whats the deal with the sun and the moon being out at the same time?" There were some of the biggest dorks ever there! Well today i put my two weeks in at work. That kinda sucks cuz i always have fun being there. I really love the Rooney album, its just really good. I've been playing the emo game on emogame.com. some things make me laugh. Oh i saw American Wedding on friday. I saw way too many of my old class mates there for my own good. The movie was decent, pretty much what i expected. "E-Ro"

Tues. July 29, 2003
Ok i'm going to shamelessly rip off a kid ryan knows and im doing a top ten list of album's i've purchased this year
12. All American Rejects (well the album sounds good, but its all studio magic, dont see them live)
11. Fountains of Wayne- Welcome Interstate Managers (if more songs were as New Wave sounding as Stacy's Mom then this could be #1)
10.Brand New- Deja Etendu ( well i'm not a huge fan of this band, but the album isn't bad its well worth a listen)
9. Rooney (a fresh breath of air, its nice to see a classic rock n roll band, they are different, i like   that)
8. Alkaline Trio- Good Mourning (This band is different from other bands i typically like, but they have a lot of energy, and the songs are surpringly poppy (not in a don way either))
7. Ultimate Fakebook- open up and say awesome (2002) (this is a nice weezer influenced band that has a consistent barage(sp?) of songs that have grown on me. This album came out last year but i wanted it this year)
6. Limbeck - Hi Everything's Fine (suprise album of the year for me. This mellow band has some nice songs that have the potential to be stuck in your head. They are great live too)
5. Motion City Soundtrack/Schatzi split EP( Motion City Soundtrack just cant write a band song, and schatzi does a journey cover, this is great)
4. Koufax- It had to do with love(2000) (this band has songs that just keep growing and growing on u. If given enough listens these songs will be among your favorites.)
3.Ozma - Spending Time On the Borderline(Allow somewhat disappointing energy compared to their other albums. There are still quite a few classic Ozma songs and the others grew on me. Rachel Haden (of thatdog and the rentals and appears on Jimmy Eat Worlds last album) sings background vocals in a song.)
2.Motion City Soundtrack- I am the Movie (rerelease) (Well MCS was signed to Epitaph and redid their excellent album with 4 new songs. An already flawless album was made even better. This is one of those cds that has ALL good songs, and their even better live! A must buy)
1.Reunion Show - Kill your Television (wow, an amazing album filled with moog and great songs. If MTV played bands like this i'd watch it a lot. A party in a cd!)


Mon. July 28, 2003
Hmm well this morning i had the today show on and they said "we have just received word that comedian Bob Hope has passed away".  Ok, they JUST RECEIVED word, but they came back from commercial break and proceeded to play a 5 minute long highlight clip celebrating the life of bob hope. Which leads me to think that someone was already prepared for the man to die??? I can just picture the network has people hired just to put together those clips celebrating the life of someone who died, but then when noone is dying they must get a head start on old celebrities who are probably about to expire. I bet they've had marlon brando's made for twenty years. "E-Ro"

Sun. July 20, 2003
Today I went to Midland with sarah, and i never thought much about it, but midland is extremely white-bred. Now one would think, "y are so many rap albums sold in midland then??" Well, people in midland love their Hip hops. The kids there sure do embrace african american culture. Not theres anything wrong with that, i mean someone needs to keep their footlocker in business. Well i bought the Alkaline Trio cd today, its pretty good, a pett recommendation at its finest. "E-Ro"

Fri. July 18, 2003
Haha, today i got a shiny new canadian quarter, and i wanted to ask for a different one, but i didnt feeling like being rude. So at work today i asked adam mouch if i could have a piece of his pizza for a quarter, and i gave him the "1/4 loonie", and boy did he feel cheated. Oh well, perhaps he should specify on the nation of currency. :E-Ro"

Tues. July 15, 2003
Well today ryan aaron sarah and i went to ann arbor to see Koufax play at the Blind Pig.We got there early and some gay art festival was going on. We ate at BD's Mongolian BBQ. I love that place, i love hot spicy food. The first two acts were kinda lame, but acceptable at that venue, they were just kinda Dashboard Confessional copycats with their acoustic guitars. Well I really enjoyed koufax, but it kinda bugged me cuz i was standing next to the bass player the whole show, so apparently he is taking this tour off and has a guy filling in for him and he is from the detroit area so he just came to see the show.  This was my 3rd time seeing koufax, (once opening for the get up kids in '01 and back in march) They dont have much of a following, which is nice but a shame at the same time, cuz their albums are really great in a different way. I dont think they played as many songs as last time i saw them. I think the last show was better, but i still enjoyed seeing them. I think that will be my last concert for a while, i have to miss the reunion show this friday, which sucks a lot, but oh well.  I might go see reggie & the full effect, or the new amsterdams, im not sure yet. "E-Ro"

Fri. July 11, 2003
I decided that in light of the many suits that native american organizations have filed,  the state of Indiana should only be called "Nativeamericana." Hearing the word Indiana just makes me wanna cry, cuz its so darn offensive to the current indians who's people suffered as short as 150 years ago! Im sure they can remember their relatives that were slaughtered. I think im going to protest the use of the word indiana. Seriously, i wanna do that in college to show how ridiculous everything is. Well last night me HSOOMS and aaron went to the casino, and i stayed aways from the handicap tables, and i won $20 so i am happy to take back some money that the indians take away from me. We then went to lil' chef, and our food took long cuz the chefs are so darn lil' that they have to stand on stools and stuff. COme to HSOOMS' place tonight booyah! "E-Ro"

Wed. July 9, 2003
Well, last night i went and saw Motion City Soundtrack, and Limbeck in concert. Now that was a show. It was the 3rd time i've seen mcs there at the shelter in detroit, but they are so great live that i love it everytime. Aaron snatched a pick on the floor after the mcs set and gave it to me which is nice. I talked to the lead singer of Limbeck after the show as he sold me one of his albums. Theres no barrier at the shelter so when u are in the front row your shins are right on the mini stage thing so i got 1st degree bruises. I didnt get to take pictures, so i emailed the bass player of Bedford drive, cuz i saw her taking pictures all show long so if im lucky i'll still get some!  I bought a shirt, some buttons, 2 cds, and stickers, well some of that stuff was free. Today has been spent keeping up the general's lawn. Oh this Motion City Soundtrack/schatzi EP that i got, it has Schatzi performing an excellent cover of Journey's "any way you want it"
Sweet! "E-Ro"


Tues. July 8, 2003
I was just watching the VH-1 top20 countdown, and i observed that Smash mouth, Sugar Ray, the GooGooDolls, and most of all Matchbox20 are always somehow in it like in the top 3. BUT U NEVER SEE THOSE BANDS ANYWHERE BUT VH1!!! I dont understand, cuz i dont know anyone that likes those bands, and they are never on anything but vh1, its actually really funny. If u just watched vh1 u'd think that matchbox20 is the greatest thing in all of rock music (maybe it is??!) I also watched this Ludacris 2fast2furious video, and i was in awe. The man just goes on and on about his car for 5 minutes, it would take a lot of talent to come up with so many thing to africanize a car to fit into a 5 minute "song". "E-Ro"

Mon. July 7, 2003
Yeah so I've been having trouble loading this page, so i had a lot of stuff i wanted to put on here but couldnt. Well today i had a Leo Dey, cuz i saw him at the Don Pablo's parking lot. Last wed me steve and ryan were at meijer and we saw this general lee model in the toy section, and i almost started crying when i saw that they edited out the confederate flag. I mean come on, i've seen every single episode of the dukes and i never once saw any racism or pro slavery comment come out of bo or luke, hell not even boss hog! I want to start an anti-politicalcorrectness movement. So many things just make me mad. Apparently theres a local Latino magazine titled "Mi Gente" and all the ads are featuring mexicanos from the companies that are advertizing, well i think i am going to come out with a magazine called Ivory, and it will just talk about being white, and have features about local caucasions, then once it gets big i'll start a national publication, then Al Sharpton will call it racist, then i'll say u know u are right, then i'll shut down production only if ebony ceases to exist cuz it will be the exact same thing. Hmm, well i did get to go to caro yesterday to get gas?, and that place is in the middle of nowhere, it really shouldnt even be there, Hmm a lot of funny stuff has happened, but i forget. I want to see the movie Deliverence. "E-Ro"
Tues. July 1, 2003
Right off, i can think of two things that are great in the world. One is candy cigarettes, after all these years the product comes in the exact same packaging it did when i was a little kid, on top of that they only cost 15 cents. Its just awesome that something in the world thats soo good can cost so little. Another thing thats awesome is Bill Watterson creator of "Calvin & Hobbes". The man wrote such a good comic strip that he could have made millions with a few signitures through merchandizing. But he is one of an elite few the history of the entertainment industry that got popular and didn't sell-out. When i was a kid i just thought the comic strips were funny, and now i have even more respect for it. Like when i think of garfield, i dont think of how funny the comic strip is, i think of an orange cat suctioned on a car window, or the cartoon garfield & friends. Cuz it sold-old, and i have no respect for the comic strip itself. Bill Watterson apparently lives in a small town now, and declines any public appearence or interview. If more people were like him in hollywood, we wouldnt be paying 8 dollars to see a movie, or 15 dollars for a cd.
     Well today i went rode my new won bike about 25 miles. I went to steves, then him and aaron and i went to shiawassee flats and rode the trails, where we saw a turtle, and some kinda
large bigfoot size creature (see bottom photo for evidence), then we rode Stroebel to my work, where we visited an asian kid we know. We then went back to steve's and rode home. I tried to get a pic of the Hprobe, but it was gone, word on the street is its about to die? i dont get it. Well im out!

Sun. June 29, 2003
Ok so tonight i saw "Down With Love" and it was the best movie i've seen in a while. But during the previews for this one movie they said "academy award winning actress Cher" and sarah and i both started laughing loudly, and i dont think we were the only ones laughing. Yesterday, I saw some hick at the holiday inn express come down to the lobby drunk and bleeding everywhere, and turns out he was on his honeymoon and got pissed and punched something. haha thats funny.Today was a pretty good day.  But thats all i got to say about that.

Wow, its been a week since my last post. Me and HSOOMS went to our college orientation for 3 days. Apparently they feel embracing other cultures is more important then the good education i'll get there. The whole 3 days were spent trying to brainwash us into being gay liberal hippies, and it prolly worked on a lot of people. The rest of the time i was forced to listen to kids stories about how they were upset in 8th grade when they only got a 1450 on their SAT. However me and HSOOMS made a good time out of it, and several Canadian jokes were made. I got the new Motion City Soundtrack cd, they are a great band, i give my full recomendation to buy it. Also at college the supreme court decision was released there, so i was hoping to see some rioting, or atleast loud shouting, but it didnt happen. I had a cool roommate, unfortunately HSOOMS' roomate was from Ohio, but he liked Nomar Garciapera a lot cuz his mom is from boston. "E-Ro"

Someone just IM'd me asking if i know how to translate Hebrew. I was baffled and it turned out the reason they asked me cuz on my profile it says JEW (meaning i like the band Jimmy Eat World) haha so they thought i was jewish. I got mad at work today cuz the scope i used to put sauce into cups has a lever on the right side, and it pushes the sauce out the opposite way. This Righthandcentric society is bringing me down. Im being oppressed in the work place. I've been spending my freetime lately watching my South Park Season II dvd. Its classic, "Not Without My Anus" is the best episode ever. Really nothing too funny has happened that is worth mentioning. Oh i got a Meningitis Vacination the other day, which apparently prevents SOME forms of the disease but not all, thats stupid. "E-Ro"

Ok so if u are on state street by walmart, remember there is now a stop light there. Twice now i almost blew right through the red there cuz im so used to open road, Its wierd, since i started working it seem  a lot of people have quit that have been working there a long time. Today my friend aaron started working there randomly, and mitchy-poo will start soon i guess. Some good times are ahead, and i dont mean Good Times Pizza, cuz thats not where i work. Today was possibly the busiest day at work, but it was good cuz time flew. I also worked in my sister-in-law's classroom, that was ok.  Today was like a hepatitis shot, quick and painless. "E-Ro"

Well Today i received an email from Mikah J. who now lives in Sunny Wisconsin. He seems to be doing well. Today i worked from 11 til 4, which was a welcomed change of pace. Justin Hart wrote a letter and taped it to the toilet and he made it look like the toilet seat wrote it, hilarious. Today i did another random thing, liz and mallory stopped over on their rollerblades so i went skating around with them. I love just doing things out of the ordinary, it makes life go by slower. Its just more enjoyable that way. But then again i also like routine when it comes to waking up. So thats conflicting views. Well thats all for today. "E-Ro"

I went to my brothers house (which used to be my house) and played roller hockey with my old neighbors AJ (the Bush) and Mike B. It was my first time in rollerblade in over a year. We then went to my old neighbor Ben's and Seth's and Shannon was there too. I then went with Shannon and her friend Kalie to Meijer cuz she needed to buy a gift for her cousins. We then got a slurpee. and i went home, doing random things out of the ordinary is fun. "E-Ro"

Today was a nice day, i had my senior party. Thanks to all who attended, it was extremely nice of y'all. I also found out my neighbors are the parents of NBA star Jason Richardon, they are soooo ghetto too, i guess since they have an over night rich son, the city isnt good enough for them. Well thats all i got for today. "E-Ro"

Ok so tonight i pushed an 86 caddie cimarron to a gas station off of I-75. It belongs to a large middle-aged puerto rican who recently had a stroke and whom i've never met. I'd just thought i'd mention it. It turns out new kid was homeschooled last year and doesn't play soccer(i realize u dont understand that at all unless u work with me) Did you realize that 97.3 is the only legitimate radio station around. All the rest are just so f'n stupid and awful. 97.3 hardly plays any commercials too. I like to hear classic rock, it puts me in a good mood. Another thing that pisses me off. Why are those blue lights under people cars cool? They dont do anything, they just seem to gleam out and say, im queer. Which is fine as long as they are willing to admit it. They just make me so mad!  "E-Ro"

I've been so busy lately i haven't been able to update this. Well I graduated this week, that was nice. At work we invented the BOB o'clock dance and BIBo'clock. (i talked about both in a previous entry.  It sure is fun. The senior party was pretty cool, i won a lot of chips playing blackjack. I won a bike?, and a fan, and some shelve things. I won't see many people ever again. Oh well. I took some photos and got no sleep. I captured some photos of HSOOMS himself. cool! "E-Ro"
