Well, this is a crappy update, but all i need to say is “midnight soccer”. Yes, that is the highlight of my week, and will be for the rest of the semester. I hate my classes, but I at least passed my physics w/ a grade of D-……D is for Diploma. but anyway, midnight soccer [...]

So schools out, I magically didn’t fail my discrete math class….but I did get my first two D’s ever in my whole life. It was quite an experience actually. I finally know what it feels like to be somewhat of a looser. But a looser at U of I is better then a winner at [...]

So this week has just made my top ten worst and best weeks of college. And fortunately for the people who read my little web page, you get a cataloged list of the goods and the bads. Bad 1. I didn’t sleep more then about 20 hours all week including the all-niter between Monday and [...]

[OLD WEBSITE] Snowboarding Pain

Comments off

Sorry everyone I haven’t updated this in forever. I’m trying to get around to working on this, but seeing as how I’m busy working on my two ECE classes all the time, it just hasn’t seemed to work out. But now for the news as to what is going on around here. I went snowboarding [...]

OK, this presidential stuff is still pissing me off, but I haven’t had time to do anything that I said I was going to, but oh well. So either over break, or after this damned election is over, I’m going to write something about that, and then re-index some of the other shit on my [...]

OK, so this presidential election sucks now. I think tomorrow I’m going to rearrange the “bitch” section a little and add like a separate bitching section for stuff other then school, and move some of the news to the “recent news” section. So just wait it out for all that. And everyone that is planning [...]

So Fuoss Says to me today “hey butthole, update your web page.” So I said sure. The low down goes like this, I’m working on this flash menu, to put the page in frames, and have a neat animation and stuff like that. You can check out the progress here, and untill then, I don’t [...]

This was some funny stuff yesterday, my skating friend Craig Fuoss fell and got his first concussion. If you have never seen someone get a concussion, your missing out. Don’t get me wrong, this is a serious thing , and Craig could have been seriously screwed up, but this was some of the funniest stuff [...]

Word of the day is “soap”, check out the skating section…a little update on my skating adventures w/ friends…..not to mention the fact that I got busted for skating on campus….but that is another story for another day.

OK, I’m making an effort to get some of this crap done. I’m working my ass off to get through school right now, so don’t expect too much. I did happen to get the coyote ugly review up, but it is probably still a work in progress. I’m going to do a tribute to beer, [...]

All I have to say is….”Well shit.” Here I’ve been at school for quite a while, and haven’t got crap done on my web page. I’ll try to get some of this crap up, but I can’t promise anything. I’ll let people know if I get some more stuff up. I’m hoping to do some [...]

Well, I made it here agian…I am back in the dorms. But the good news is, that I am running for floor vice president. Yes, that is true, I want to shave the whales, commit voter fraud like no one has before, and do lots of other fun things….So, I’ll keep everyone posted on how [...]

What is a defining moment. I would like to think that certain epiphanies help us to define ourselves. But I don’t think that is it. The times when you think to yourself “I think I have just found something about myself”, you are really just coming to understand what has happened to you a long [...]
