R4L

Today was Relay for Life, but rain made is get canceled early. Fun times with the random people I met there, even people who I didn't expect to be there. Carried a tent full of stuff quarter of the way to Ellicott. Played football with E2. Learned some things, explained some things. Hung out with fun people. Good times all around.

Lyric of the Day:
"Fuck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
to anywhere
find anyone
do anything
forget and start again, love
She said she won't go
(and that's that)"
-Streetlight Manifesto:"A Better Place, A Better Time"

Random Story of The Day:
I walked past Kristy, Joey and Dori at least 5 times going back and forth from Relay and Ellicott...

Much ado about...nothing?

Statics review session today. Must remember to stick to pre-existing coordinate systems, rather than define my own on the test.

I also declared Mechanical Engineering today!

And fixed my 4.5 year plan...

Lyric of the Day:
"Tonight I watch the lights go out in your house
Wondering how I could get so deep
And you could still get to sleep
In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air
And I can't hide that I relied on you
Like yellow does on blue"
-Something Corporate:"She Paints Me Blue"

Random Story of The Day:
SP: She called me a prostitute!
ET: I merely insinuated you were one, someone who provides services to many
JI: Just think of yourself as a business with large market share

I'm not a messenger boy, I'm a delivery boy

Today was quite eventful, in a good way.

After Math, I managed to catch up with a friend who I had not talked to for a couple months.

In Gems, I hung out with a friend I had not been able to hang out with since last semester.

On a two-hour cake-fetching expedition, I had an adventure with two good friends.

After a couple slip-ups, I helped organize a birthday party for someone I am glad I have gotten to know better.

While procrastinating I was able to relax with the guys who have made my first semesters at college what they were.

Lyric of the Day:
"We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word"
-Fall Out Boy:"Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year"

Random Story of The Day:
On Gems:

"I stole the sunshine from the emo kids"
-Nancy Wang

Back into the groove

I'm still getting back used to writing stuff here. I have no idea what to write about though. I could write about the fact that I did the free response of my Physics test in the last 3 minutes or the fact that I love my GEMS 104 team. I could even write about how excited I am that I may end up with my project making it past the first round.

All is well that ends well.



Lyric of the Day:
"Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me,
But you won't let those robots eat me,
Yoshimi, they don't believe me,
but you won't let those robots defeat me."
-The Flaming Lips:"Yoshimi battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1"



Random Story of The Day:
Watching 24 with Aziz, Wes, and Brett.

Me: I can't believe Tom didn't turn in the Vice President
Aziz: Well he doesn't see him as evil
Me: He's a lunatic, him and his...what would you call her
Aziz: Deputy Vice President?
Me: I bet you she's on the credit's as 'Vice President's sidekick bitch'

Spring 's Purifying Rains

This week I signed up for Argentine Tango lessons. I haven't stepped on anyone's feet this whole semester in ballroom, lets hope this trend continues.

"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having! "
-V: V for Vendetta

Lyric of the Day:
"Well we moved to the left and we moved to the right,
And sure as hell stayed out almost every single night,
But if the party 's over if the fun has to end,
Could you do this for me my friend and please just...

Please bury me with it!
Please bury me with it!"
-Modest Mouse:"Bury me with it"

Random Story of The Day:
Ryan and I in one of our wittier discussions

Me: Is that why your mother beats you?
Ryan: My father beats me; My mother just doesn't love me.
Me: Emotional and Physical abuse...nice..
Ryan: They leave no angle uncovered.

WInter Breaks us All

Shatter

Broken glass pieces in her hand,

Why is it that she didn’t understand?

Not all things can take the stress

Of resisting her carelessness.

Hoping for a precious embrace,

Her, not realizing the obvious case,

Making this a horrible disgrace

And leaving all with such distaste.

Maybe one day she’ll get it all,

Until then, I’m a broken glass ball.

Is it possible for me to mend?

Blind hope remains until the end.

Aren't I hot shit?

Chem test tomorrow

So there is a Chem test tomorrow. A dude sees his roomate leaving carrying his Chem book and his notes.

Dude: Hey, lemme come study with you guys.
Roomate: I may or may not end up studying Chem.
Roomate: I'll call you if I do.

Nice...

So this guy is explaining to his friend how his date went.

Guy 1: So then we walked back to La Plata
Guy 2: So did you walk her to her room?
Guy 1: Nope, I sorta just waved after she got in and left
Guy 2: Well, at least you didn't punch her on the shoulder and say "Later,buddy"...

You Silly Man

So this kid invites his friend to Dim Sum with a bunch of his other friends. He then remembers she's a vegetarian, so he starts freaking out and researching nearby places that have vegetarian meals. After finding a couple places, he feels great that he was able to salvage the situation. Only thing is in the morning, his friend decides not to go...The moral of the story...Don't invite vegetarians to Dim Sum.

I don't even wanna know

So a dude is walking down the hall of his floor to his room. He sees his roomate in one of their friends rooms, so he enters to see what is happening.

Immeadiately tabs on Mozilla close as they realize he's there.

All he had managed to glimpse is the phrase "masurbate"(or he says he thought thats what he saw) in the google toolbar in Mozilla.

A couple of friends are at the All-Niter

Dude: There's a party tomorrow night...
Girl 1: I don't see why people drink
Dude: To lose their inhibitions and loosen up
Girl 2: I don't need to drink, I have no inhibitions
Dude: That is such a sketch statement

Words of a hopeless romantic and a cynic

"Is it the fact that I'm having a good day that causes me to meet her, or does meeting her make my day itself better..."

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

A Hard Day's Night

So two guys are walking down a hallway. The one in front stops in front of a door, and puts in his room key.

He goes to turn it, but the key only moves a slight amount before refusing to move anymore.

The dude jiggles his key, then takes it out.

As he moves to try it again, the other guy says, "I can't belive you're the sober one, this isn't even our room...".

They walk two doors down, and the dude uses his key to let them into their room.

Facebook?!?!

Someone just made Facebook the most stalker friendly-tool ever! I mean now I can see thing about people that I really didn't care about in the first place. I feel for people with like 1000 friends, their newsfeeds must be gigantic.

This kid should be slapped...

So, this one kid goes to do laundry. He comes back up after putting his clothes to wash. When its time to put them to dry, he realizes that he left his card on the washing machine. He asks his roomie to borrow his card. The roomie, a nice guy, tells him that they should go together to get his card. "You know how gay it would be having you walk me there" the dude replies. The roomie lends the kid his card, shouting after him in the hall(totally inappropriate at 1 am) "Don't lose my card!".

The kid comes back upstairs. "I have some good news, and I have some bad news", he announces. The roomate starts freaking out, as before his friend had went downstairs they were talking about doing some pretty outrageous things. "The good news, is I found my ID", his friend prattles on. "And the bad?!", he prompts. "I lost yours..", the dude finishes.

As the roomate sprints towards the elevator, the dude throws something at him. It turns out he had been joking, and had both cards the entire time.

On a slightly depressing note I found out that Steve Irwin died yesterday while filming a documentary(thanks to my roomie's Facebooking). It is really sad to see the death of someone so adventurous who many live vicariously through, and who also made people aware of the environment. Steve Irwin: A great man, and an even greater Croc Hunter.

A New Beginning

So like my high school blog, this will be used to capture the funny moments that make me laugh or chuckle. However, in an attempt to protect the innocent, everything will be told in third person without names. This also removes the baggage that comes with labeling people in a story.

In the halls of Ellicott at 2 am:
Guy1: I love hanging out with chicks.
Guy2: I know, they never finish their food so we always have leftovers!

Overheard in the loungue:
Guy1: So you guys are invited to our Multivariable Calc study session
Guy2: They let you into that class?
(Considering that this was in the first week of school, that was a pretty "judge a book by its cover" response)
