I’ve added a ton of pictures to the gallery take a look if you are interested. I’ll prolly add captions this weekend if I feel motivated enough.

Hobos must be this generation’s trend setters. Doing my daily pretentious web surfing for deals and steals on clothes, I discovered Gap, my all time addiction, was down. What else was there to do, I needed to quench my thirst of looking at trendy styles so I sat back and pondered. What are other yuppyish,…

The last couple of days have been interesting. Friday I found out a got a raise at work, completely unexpected so it was nice. I decided to work Saturday mostly out of boredom. 4 hours of over time is almost 100$ so I was happy. Saw the Grim Brothers, I thought it was lame and…

I want to go to space I want to build something that goes to space I want to live on Vince’s Island I want to be told I’m hot I want to be seduced I want to have a family I want to have a house I want to have a threesome (The good kind)…

So far this summer two of my Brothers have dropped out of Rose. Their departure is a sad one; both were excellent members and contributed a lot to PIKE. They were both really fun guys to hang out with on a Friday night. Drunken wrestling will always be in my memory thanks to Tappy. Despite…

So I just watched “Supersize Me” for the first time and man all I can say is I won’t be eating at McDonalds for a long time. I’ve been eating at Panera bread a lot lately, I figured it was a classier version of subway, I was so dead wrong. After watching the movie I…

For the last three days I’ve played tennis. Based on my current skill level I’m pretty sure I could invite the lil kids over playing on the jungle gym and they would whomp me. I’m hoping some tiny bit of skill will come back to me if I keep playing. It’s been so much fun…

I did it, I verbally accepted my job at Rockwell Collins. Tomorrow I drive to HR and finalize everything. It’s a bit nerve racking doing this especially so far in advance. The unknown in my life has been stripped. I will be living in Cedar Rapids, I will be going to grad school at the…
