Enteries from 2004
12/27/04 - Christmas is good. Family is good. Friends are good. Life is good right now. So lets see. Been hanging out mostly. Not doing tons of anything. I pretty much got what I wanted for Christmas. People seemed to like the gifts I got them, which is always good. Got a nice camera that I'm trying to figure out all the features and buttons on. Got the X-men game for PS2 only to find out my playstation is busted >:-0 Oh well hopefully best buy or someplace can fix that up :-/ Tommorow is the long awaited LOTR marathon at Jacob's. I started reading the books again cause I actually have free time over break. I'm remembering that they are every bit as good and probaly better than the movies. So here's my plug to go read the Lord of the Rings. Wednesday I'm headed up to Minnesota to go skiiing for a few days. Sucks that they aren't having much snow. It's plenty cold so they are making it I'm sure but man made snow just isn't as good as the real stuff. Well I should probaly go hop in the shower cause I'm sweaty from working out and I should get started on supper. TTFN Ta Ta For Now
12/22/04 5:47 PM - Break is good. MEGAN CAME HOME!!!! I like her :-) Won 30 bucks in poker last night. Played football today for a couple hours good stuff now that I can feel my extremities again. It's really good to be seeing people again. old friends are cool. I'm thinkning about cleaning up the website cause its starting to get large. Apperently people actually it to which amuses me. So many when I'm ass sitting sometime in the next week or so I'll clean things up. I still haven't wrapped presents yet :-( I'll get on that.... eventually. Were going to get pizza with aunt Jan soon here. So I'm out for now. Catch you on the flip side
12/18/04 11:40PM - I'm home. Finals are over. Christmas is coming. YAH!. Ok its been a while since I've updated. Ummm finals went decently at least. ended up with Bs on the finals in chem and calc which were the two hardest courses so certainly can't complain there. Drove back last night with emily and nick. Went to the symphony tonight with the parents and grandma. Gonna go over to Debbie's tommorow. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing everyone again. I think I still have a little bit of shopping to do. Megan is coming back tuesday. It has been way to long since I've seen her. ummm what else is happening? Well its probaly time for me to hit the hay. Merry Christmas
12/13/4 5:24 PM - It snowed. Chem sucks. I go home in like 3 days. That is all. Here are pictures of ND in the Snow.
12/7/04 2:17 Pm - Had our last PT session of the semester this morning. Good stuff. Gonna have to keep working out over break sigh never ends..... Finished that dang paper finally. Have the navy final tommorow. Gonna probaly spend most of the evening going over that. I just realized I'm very tired and think I'll nap before semminar. Actually I'll probaly end up napping in semminar also. Any way later.
12/4/04/ 9:13 Pm - What's up internet. Schools is winding down. Still need to finish that final paper in semminar. Then the joy of studying for finals begins. But just think, in 2 weeks I'll be home for almost a whole month. Break is going to rock. We had our five dollar formal last night. I'll put the few pictures up from that. Good times were had. Good company and its always nice to get off campus. Probaly gonna head over to Dillon later tonight. I've been just sitting around most of the night so far. Megan is up in Wisconson winning more speech tournaments. Can't wait to see her again. So this morning, I'm doing service work with the dorm in downtown South Bend. Basically they tell us, start by tearing up the carpet and then bust up any furniture and take the walls down to studs, here's a pile of sledghammers and crowbars. So that's fucking sweet. But it gets better, first were working out back and we find a pile old pornos AND a old blow up doll. Absolutely hilarious. Also in the basement theres like 50 books. All hard back and there things like Plutarch, Dante, Descartes, Herodotus, Newton. What the hell is a crack house doing with the classics of western literature? And finaly the best thing is they have framed oil paintings hanging on the walls. So I got to take home this actually pretty nice painting from a crack house that I'm gonna hang in the dorm. Sweet eh?
12/1/04 11:19 PM - Well as long as I'm wasting time I might as well update this. Not tons going on. Semester is wraping up. Got finals to start worrying about. I'll finish up most of my papers and projects and shit this Friday. Lets see.... my backspace button is still busted but I'm getting surprisingly used to working without it. Oh of course the big news. We fired Ty. Personaly I woulda given the guy another year. But eh I guess thats why I don't make the decisions around here. Seems to be though that some people are taking it a bit hard. Sure he's seems to have been and still is a great guy and has excellent character and all. But people ar bitching about cutting short his contract. As I understand it he's getting a good deal out of it so I can't imagine he's going away to the pauper house or anything. But eh what do I know? Anyway this is a pretty long update. Peace Out
11/29/04 5:47 - Update - I've added a page of pictures from various navy activities. Click here to see them. Also my backspace button is broken and it's driving me nuts. You have no idea how much you use it until it breaks.
11/27/04 8:03 PM - Break bitches! Delicious turkey. Thanksgiving. Got to see my baby again. Let’s see. Coming back to CR was a little bit of an adventure. We ended up about 20 miles south of Milwaukee. Shout out to the Layfette county sheriffs dept. Thanksgiving at aunt Jan’s was great. Then got some Christmas shopping done Friday. Went over to Johnson’s Friday night, got to see a whole bunch of folks I hadn't seen since summer. Got some odds and ends taken care of today. Now just sitting down to watch the game. Most likely going to head over to Kathryn’s later tonight. Then I head back tomorrow, what time I do not know. Probably should check in on that. GOooooooo Irish, BEAT TROJANS!
11/21/04 12:52 PM - College would be really awesome if it wasn't for the homework, classes and tests. Last night was pretty sweet. We deffinantly spent 6 hours playing old school NES. I found out I'm pretty decent at Super Mario Bros. 3. Good times were had by all. ALso gotta appreciate 7 dollar pizzas after 1:00 AM at Sbarro. In closing - YOU SIT ON A THRONE OF LIES
11/14/04 - 9:58 AM - I know you've all been on the edge of your collective seats waiting for an update so here it finally is. Last weekend was the navy/marine corp birthday ball. Megan came up for that and it was excellent. Got a few pictures I'll put up from that. Had that damn calc test last week and it was also Veteran's Day so we had the ceremony out at stonehenge thrusday. This weekend was parents weekend so my mom and dad were up here for the Pitt game. The game was terrible. I don't think theres anything huge going on this week. lets see... no nothing exciting going on really. Well I'm out.
Edit: the guy on in the last picture is Mr. Maus. Maus is one bad ass mother fucker.
11/3/04 11:16 PM - DUBYA - FOUR MORE YEARS!!!! yeah so obviously my man G-dub won. One Dick One Bush One Nation! So yeah Navy Ball is coming up friday. Gotta write that dang semminar paper before the weekend cause I am going to have zero time. Desiree needs to stop updating her sight showing off her mad web skillz. Yeah I'm talking to you moonboots. Interesting experience in the dinning hall this evening to bad I didn't show up earlier. Well thats really about it. Over.
11/2/04 12:56 PM - Election Day. Four more years. Hopefully. Honestly this thing is so damn close who knows what will happen. So got the damn chem test done with this morning. That sucked. I guess as long as the curve is decent I'll probaly do ok. Navy ball coming up this weeekend. Hoorah navy ball. Went on the ROTC freshman retreat that was awesome. Very good experience. In other news...... I'm hungry. So I'm gonna go get lunch.
10/26/04 9:14 PM - As Ryan Gibney pointed out this site is useless. I have never pretended otherwise. This is simply a way for me to waste valuable time when I should be doing my chem homework or polishing my shoes. We have inspections tommorow. Thankfully this mean its the last time this year I have to be up early on a Wednesday. Still have early PT but hey I'll take what I can get. lets see other news. Currently we're beating Dillon 6-2 I think in dorm rivalry week. I'm gonna be on the ROTC freshman retreat, means I'll miss the big red dog dance. Oh well such is life, what are you gonna do? Hmm other than those things I think its pretty much buisness as usual. Well back to studying knowledge I guess. Ciao
10/22/04 12:04 PM - It's friday. Break is almost over. As much as I've like being home, it'll will be nice to go back to school. It's boring to sit around and do nothing all day. Matt's wedding is tommorow and it's my mom's birthday. I ended up with decent grades for midterms. Dorm rivalry week is apparently coming up. Fun time I'm sure. Well I am ready to go in search of food. Hasta
10/17/04 12:02 PM - I'M BACK IN CR BITCHES!!! Oh break kicks ass. Went down to the U of I last night with Altman. I got to see Jacob, Nick, Johnson, Megan, Emily, Mooch, Katy, Lisa, Abbie, Paul, Laura all again. That was freaking awesome. Had a excellent night. I'm getting a home cooked meal for the frist time in two months. Hopefully I'll also get up to UNI sometime this week. I'm spossed to head back to Xavier tuesday to talk to the young'insabout going to ND. Got Matt's wedding this weekend as well, that will be fun. Well I'm thinking its about nap time. ND beat Navy and Iowa beat Ohio State. Go break.
10/12/04 1:12 PM - I found this website in Meredith's away message. Communists for Keryy
Cracked me up. It’s even funnier because we have this exhibit of soviet art in the Snite museum that I still haven't gotten over to see.
10/11/04 9:19 PM - Midterms week. I only have engineering which I hope won't be to bad. Open note anyway so It'll be a breeze right? Megan, Paul and Jay came up this weekend. That was a wonderful surprise. Going home on friday thank God. I should be doing my engineering report but bah who needs to pass college. I'm starting to realize how truely small my room is. I kinda thought of well other people have small rooms to. No, no you all live in fricking castles. Thumbs up though to the facebook making it incredibly easy to stalk people.(Inside joke - people who are stalking me will apreciate it) Yeah so I should probaly pretend like I'm going back to work. I think I have some pictures from the game etc. lets see.
10/7/04 12:11 AM - Good morning (technicaly) Got my absentee ballot in today. I was very tempted to vote for Badnarik (the libertarian canadate)but Iowa went to Gore by only 4500ish votes so I didn't want to waste mine. A surprisingly light amount of homework for this evening which is alway a treat. Me and Vince went to the theology on tap presentation which I found interesting. Talked to Megan tonight which is always a highlight. Don't have class till like 3 or something ridiculous like that. I apologize for the horrible spelling in my posts but I'm damn lazy. besides no one reads this anyway. Gonna be ushering the pep ralley and the hockey game this friday. Hopefully gonna get some good pics. 24 hour run is also this weekend. Looking forward to all that. I think I may just head to bed cause I have nothing else to do. End transmission
10/4/04 7:21 PM - Okay last week all I bitched about was how I had no time etc. etc. Now I actually have a little free time and of course I'm sitting on my ass and scrolling around pointlessly. I sposse I should knock of my theo paper tonight. Wonderful 6:00 AM PT again tommorow. Honestly It's not so bad. To bad I missed the damn run. If I end up having to go to remedial PT its going to suck. Lets see what all else is going on. I ended up getting like a B or B+ on my chem test which isn't horrible. Well time for me to be hitting the ol'e dusty trail.
10/2/04 9:48 PM - Well fuck Purdue and there big damn drum. Oh well. Some pics from the game and the pep ralley.
9/30/04 1:01 PM - Lets see thursday afternoon, just got back from lunch. Finished all three of my midterms this week. Got a C+ plus in calc (BOOOOO natural log) but I aced the online, open book, open internet, open note theo test and I'm feeling pretty good about chem so its all good. Purdue this weekend and the ROTC concession stand. Oh yeah first color gaurd even this week to.
9/26/04 10:56 AM - Wuck Fashington? Ha anyway the game was actually kinda boring seeing as we were up 21 by FIRST QUATER! So here I am back from breakfast. I got up because I felt like I was wasting time laying in bed. Now I'm wasting time here. I need to knock of my Oddysee paper today. Got Calc and the PRT tuesday, that'll be fun. Sigh I really should get to work. Later
Lets see its 1:40 Sept. 23 and I don't have class for another few hours so I'm trying desperately to find something to do besides working. So far not much luck. Thank God for Family Guy. New Episodes Jan 25 '05. HAND show tonight at legends. Go check it out its good stuff. Also Dogs and Frogs on fire is tonight and since it involves things burning I'll probaly hit that up. PeAcE
