Well thanksgiving was great over at my grandma’s house. She made a ton of food, and of course me and my cousins vowed to eat it all. We ate everything but the sweet potatoes and cranberry stuff. Who wants that crap anyways? So after that, we all passed out on the couches for a while, trying to watch Shrek. That movie was pretty funny from what I saw of it, so maybe I’ll have to try to watch it again sometime. After sleeping for a long time, I woke up and headed to Clifton for an uneventful night down there. Friday night I went to my Aunt Annie’s house for another gathering, since everyone was not able to make it over to grandma’s. I sat around and drank with my cousin Jim all night, until my other cousin Adam came and picked us up. We just bought a bunch of beer and went to his house to drink it all. It was fun, nothing too special, but we did have a late night trip to Perkins, which is always fun. Then last night I went out with all the high school buddies again. Apparently I missed a good party at Bryan’s house the night before. I wish I could have made it there, but I didn’t have my car and I was drunk. So I got to hear all about that, while we drank and played some pool. It was like a high school reunion up there with people from all different classes. Pretty cool to see some of them again, especially Bryan Shova, a kid I played hockey with years ago. Nothing much else went on, except Kelly showing up with all the Clifton guys and somehow convincing me to stay later. I got them to drive me to my car though, so it all worked out. Now I’m at home trying to finish a paper and all the rest of the crap that will be due soon. I just can’t help but procrastinate a little bit more. Have a nice night!

Why do the holidays always make you think of the ones you love that slipped away?

Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble Gobble

Classes are now done until next Monday! Let’s see last night, after we lost our playoff flag football game, we all decided to drink a bunch. It was me, Liam, Nick, Pete, Dan D., and Nick. Most of the others played poker, but I just watched, since I don’t have the money for that. We had a great time, drinking anything and everything we could get our hands on. I think I actually saw Liam drinking on a Colt 45. :) So we get all banged up. Then Brad, Kelly, Chad and some other dude came by. I don’t think those guys cared for anyone but Brad, and I was pretty much in agreement with them. The one dude just kept begging for beer, and we didn’t have any. It was just annoying, and I don’t even live there. Anyways, we listened to Earlham, and passed out. Today I only had one class, Prob & Stats. It went easy enough, but the best part was listening to Mack’s stories from last night. What a crazy life those rugby players live. So I’m at work now, and hopefully I’ll leave soon. I think tonight since all my boys are back in town, we are going to hit up Mt. Adams. It should be fun hanging with them all again. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving if I forget to write in here again. Peace Out!

Dammit, I’m really bad about updating this thing. Well school has been crazy, and I didn’t do much last week that was too exciting, cause of the homework and the fact that I am broke already this month. The weekend was something else though. On friday I left right after school with Fighty and Liam to go up to Columbus. We arrived around 5 at Joe Vedder’s with tons of beer. We ended up getting 60 beers for 30 bucks for like 7 or 8 of us. Shortly after being up there, duckfood took the stage playing a killer set. Watch out for a live recording in the future. Then freebase attempted to play and got lost in their own songs. :) We then just had a big jam session with lots of funny songs and tons of beer. Eventually it was time to head to the Red Wanting Blue show. It was a great show, full with lots of hotties. There are some pictures out there: here and here. Immediately after the show, we attempted to get everyone (especially the girls) over to the Ordinary Peoples show that was going on across the street. We tried our hardest but only got like 15 people over there. It was still a good time, and we even got to guest on “Suitcase.” After that we went to the bar in the Union, where karaoke was going on at. I of course wa Jay s forced into singing “Faith” andaka Big Kraut was singing his lungs off with some sista. :) After the signing was done, Wacko convinced us all to go to Spot Bar. It was actually a pretty cool dance club, and lots of people were getting in free. Eventually the night on the streets ended and we all wound up back at Joe’s. Of course no one could go to bed right away, so we beat the crap out of Liam a little bit more, and then called it a night. The next day, we headed back home, after eating at the “better” Skyline that just opened at OSU. I don’t think it was that much better, still not even close to Cincy’s. But then we decided to drink a bunch more before the Elder vs. St. X. football game for the regional championship. Just like last week, the hype was all there. 35,000+ people showed up at UC’s Nippert Stadium to watch this battle. Unfortunately the Elder Panthers lost, but it was a great and exciting game. After that we ended up drinking a bunch more that night and watched Liam turn into the angriest drunk alive. He must have fought everyone that night. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the rest of this night. I guess not much else has happened since then, and I’m about to go to Murphy’s tonight since I couldn’t do so last night…

Well once again I am slacking with this thing. Let’s see since last monday, I went to class a bunch, of course hit up the Old Saloon on Wednesday, and had a very cool weekend. Me and fighty have a official name for our band now, “duckfood.” Check out our messageboard, a webpage will be in the works sometime. Now about the extended weekend we had (god bless the veterans): It started with a friday night consisting of drinking at Liam and Callsen’s place , going to the Swim concert, and then drinking a bunch more. That was a cool night, then on Saturday I woke up and decided to check out the record setting high school game at Paul Brown Stadium. St. X played Princeton and Elder played Colerain. I can’t believe 47,000+ people showed up for this event. St. X and Elder both ended up winning, which made the GCL and me very happy. Ryan also owes me 10 bucks now, cause he was all about the losers of the GMC. :) Sunday, we all drank at the same house in Clifton then hit up some parties around campus. It was a fun night, full of girls making out, beer pong, flip cup, etc. Last night was nothing special, just another day at Murphy’s. I’m in lab right now, where I should be coding, but my hunger is stopping me. It’s lunch time, I’ll try and write more this week…

Damn, it’s been a while since I came here. I guess that means I’ve been staying busy, which is definitely a good thing. Last week was pretty uneventful, same bars same days just another week. I do remember staying up until 5:30 on yet another night. This weekend Kelly, Evan, Ryan and I all traveled to Viriginia for some more OAR shows. We had to take off classes for Friday, so that we could get down there in time. We left Thursday at about 8 or so and ended up in Charlottesville around 2. Once we got in, Fighty decided that I had to see Charlottesville (DMB Town USA), so we took a little walk. We saw Starr Hill, which is where OAR was going to play the next night, and some music was playing outside. We walked down to Miller’s and the area called The Mall and after a little while walked backed past Starr Hill. The music was off this time. As it turns out Dave Matthews was in the bar that night, and I bet that we just barely missed him. Fighty was pissed off, but maybe some other day. We eventually went to bed around 4 and slept well. Woke up, explored Charlottesville, bought some new stickers for the car, talked to the band, drank a few at Miller’s, etc. The show was good that night, although I don’t remember too much. Joel wanted to kick me out, but he let it slide. The next day we went to Richmond, where the next show was. Weeba lives there, so that helped out with a free place to stay. We had some time to walk around the campus and enjoy the beauty of the campus and the girls. I had my first ever Yeungling, and I must admit it wasn’t bad, especially for $1. We eventually went to the show, where I apologized to Joel. This concert was much more enjoyable, I didn’t drink as much, and the set was better. We had a great weekend. Lots of little conflicts and things, but I’m trying to forget about all that. This week hasn’t been too productive or entertaining so far. I’m done with class and I am eventually going to help Nicole with a webpage project. Oh yeah that reminds me, I got an ezboard private message from Amanda that said “hey…where are you?” I replied back, but nothing. Oh well, interesting times for sure…
