Audio Blog!!

Audio Blog!





Its 12:35, I'm in the Campus Center!

Hey guys, its been too long since I've updated this and I am deeply sorry.  Ehhh, I suppose anyway.

I'm really lazy, and for some reason haven't been in a blogging kind of mood, just too much work, especially at this hour, dang.  

I just had a really good, but greasy pizza.  I don't have class tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about going to bed, though I do enjoy going to bed.  

I have a 3 page paper due friday, I have a rough draft but its really rough, so I have to step it up and write a killer paper.  

That's not too much to ask.

Leopard= 2 days.

Might get radio show.  If not, want to podcast it up.

Maybe I'll just post links to my podcast instead, since it'd just be about my daily life.


Then you could listen to my wonderful voice instead of this boring text!  Though there wouldn't be links, its okay, it'd be cooler.  


Alright, I'm done.


Goodnight!

Woah! Ten days without a post, totally unacceptable.

Hey everyone, as the title says, I haven't posted since October 4th of 2007.  That's incredibly bad.  Though I have been working on my schoolwork most of the time (even after dropping chem, midterms were killing my time).  So I'm on fall break, off till tuesday.  Right now I'm doing nothing, which is pretty much the norm when I am at home.  All my stuff is at college so there is really nothing to do at all.  I finished watching Season Three of The Office two nights ago and so I really am searching for something to do.  

Its chilly outside, Autumn at its finest.  Though I really do enjoy going outside, I still find that there is little to do by myself outside other than work on my pond (which is fine, I don't need to work on anything) or walk around or I could play hockey, but it gets old by myself just running around.  My brother is also not home, but helping his girlfriend move to .... somewhere an hour an a half away.  I'm almost jealous that he got to drive a U-Haul.  Instead, I am stuck at home doing nothing.

I also got my haircut today.  Its short, but its not too terribly short, so I guess its alright.  Maybe I'll show my caps pride by wearing my draft day hat, but my hair is still short.  I'll let it grow until like december or something, haha.  

The Pittsburgh Penguins won last night, which was the first game that I was able to watch.  See, Allegheny is sweet and right by Pittsburgh (okay, closer than Erie), but fails to have Fox Sports Pittsburgh.  Now, to my knowledge, its about 80% Steelers fans (gross) to 15% Browns fans and 5% of whatever else.  Now, I hate football a whole lot (college isn't as bad), but Steelers' games are on FSN Pittsburgh.  ALSO on FSNP is Every Pittsburgh Penguins' game.  So, I don't know where Allegheny gets off not showing that station (Or MSG or VERSUS for that matter), which makes me quite frustrated.  There's really nothing like watching a Pens game, its so much fun for some reason.  Of course its more fun playing but you know how it is.  Crosby is just ridiculously good now, very deserving of the Captain title.  Gary Roberts is a favorite enforcer and Petr Sykora is a great addition to the team.  They played the Maple Leafs, and won (as aforementioned), 6-4.  Great game.

I hacked my iPod Touch.  It was the coolest thing I've ever done on a computer (related to coding stuff, more fun than HTML).  It took me a few tries, after being scared by almost "bricking" my iPod, I succeeded and now have every iPhone App (excluding the maps and stock app) as well as a few 3rd party apps to enhance my iPod's fun factor.  Such as NES games (Yes, original Nintendo games).  Personalized backgrounds, and my customized "springboard."  The springboard is simply the home screen with the icons.  Its good stuff.

Post more later.

There was no chemistry between Me and Chemistry.

Hey everbodyyyyyyy.  I hope everything is well with you in the world.  It is for me, always is, but I had to drop my Chemistry class.  And no, I am not screwed.  So don't think that.  Because I will probably cry and not be able to handle anything else.  

Kidding Kidding.  Yeah, but I did drop Chemistry, when I got those 2 awful tests back I realized that maybe the hard sciences (hard can have a double meaning) are not exactly for me.  So I'm basically rethinking the whole concept of majoring in Bio after I was so dead-set on it. Yes, the dream may die, but there are other very cool paths as well.  Chemistry and Math are kicking my ass, but I'm looking on the bright side; I don't have to wake up at 7:10 AM with my alarm clock blaring.  It'll be a nice change of pace.  Easier too.  

Though I can't help feeling a bit stupid after chemistry handed my ass to me.  I could have blogged that weekend I studied for those tests instead of studying.  What a sad state of affairs.

I need to clean this keyboard when I go home this weekend, its absolutely filthy.  Rubbing alcohol will do wonders for it.  I need to clean the screen too, its not looking great, gotta use some iClean.  I'm too afraid to use glasses cleaner on it though.  

So I had all these really cool plans for my blog, but I haven't done them yet, I don't spend copious amounts of time on the computer anymore because studying has taken it over.  I just did math homework at 3:00 in the afternoon.  Its quite a feat that I am very proud of.  Don't worry, it'll get better I think.  

I have to miss The Office tonight.  I'm not pleased, but its for Intramural pickup hockey.  Evidently I am going to be a ref as well, that might be either good or bad haha.  hope I'm not the only ref. Though I probably will be.  Wow, my grammar was so bad there, good thing I am not an English Major.  I am now "undecided" and I actually have no idea.  Its kind of exciting. 

I've been slacking about reviewing my iPod Touch as well as any and all Apple news, but those of you who care, they are coming soon in the next blog, I promise.  Maybe. 

I decided that I want to be a Buddhist monk.  The only problem is the begging part as well as the giving up all the possessions.  I have a dream, and for some reason it is to live a very peace-loving life.  I try to practice Buddhism in my everyday life and its going pretty well. 


Plus, Buddhist's don't have Chemistry class.

Haha.

Later everybody!

Cousin Stephen came visiting.....

So cousin Stephen came in (as the title says) from Colorado.....well technically Clarion.  He brought friends, and we played hockey at Wise.  Now, for those of you who do not know, Wise is the place to work out/do fitness like things.  Obviously, I'm in there all the time.....hahahah.  Okay anyway, they arrived at my place of higher education.  Now, it took a few times of circling around in a white car to actually get into a parking lot (to my knowledge there was no tickets).  So I, as expected, ran at lightning fast speed (because I go to Wise all the time, y'know) and was eager to see Stephen.  He came out and shook my hand and we proceeded to my dorm room (after greeting his friends, a few who I somehow remembered).  They told tall tales of their experiences in college and after a few moments of reminiscing about ole' college days, it was a joint decision to go play floor hockey.  Now, bear in mind, we were not sure of our abilities to actually just waltz in (though I can, I'm a student).  So we get there and of course we get in no problem.  Plus the door is open to the land of aluminum shafted hockey sticks with plastic blades.....score!  There's goalie pads in there.  One of his friends was goalie, and wasn't bad for a first time.....and in full pads.....and with PANTS on.  Needless to say, his pants were a darker brown than before, it was quite a scene.  We played for about an hour and a half or so and were pooped.  Hockey in pants in a hot Wise Center is bound to make any person sweat.  Then it was back to my dorm for some fun NHL 2006 tournament action, which steve and his friends were into (well some more than others).  We failed to complete it and they proceeded to leave, but not without leaving me some of my Aunt's amazing and ridiculous cookies.....I still need to call her.

Laundry story:

OK most of you who are at the 'Gheny already know this, but for those of you who are not fortunate enough to attend this college will learn how cutthroat and ruthless the laundryroom is.  Laundry room?  .....anyways.  So, I wash my darks no problem and put my whites in, wait a half hour, then put them in a dryer.  Going down to get them I made the mistake of locking my keys in the room.  Smart.   Really smart.  So anyways, I go down to the laundry room and then take my whites out.  I decide "well I better go ask my RA to open my door."  So for some reason unbeknownst to me, I choose to leave my clean laundry down there and will get it after dinner.....who's going to steal my laundry?  So I put my detergent SIDEWAYS (remember that) on top of my whites in my hamper and leave.  I eat, and we will >>  (that's fast forward for you illiterates), to after dinner.  I go back and get my whites, but to my dismay and shock my bottle of detergent leaked out!  So now I have about half of my detergent left, and my whites are damp with detergent.  So not a huge deal, I'll throw them in a washer.  Which I did.  I come back 30 minutes later and put them in the top right dryer on the right side.  So again, >> to 6 hours later....about 12:30 AM.  I'm at my friends' room and I am just like "oh crap, laundry."  I race down there, like speed racer fast, on my way looking in each room (seeing almost every other room playing the hit new game Halo 3) and go to take my stuff out of the dryer.  I get down there, and what do I see?  I see my clothes wet.  SOMEONE WASHED MY CLOTHES.  REWASHED.  I have no idea why, how or who even saw the potential of rewashing my clothes.  So all the dryers were going AT 12:42 AM.  I had to stay up until 2:30 to get my whites done.  Who rewashes someone else's clothes?  I mean jeeze if that's the case I should just keep my clothes down there and let someone wash them for me!  Genius idea.  

Okay, I'm done, later guys
