Kinda aggrivated right now. It just seems like giving your word means nothing these days. There are just some people that have made it hard to trust that they will do something any more.
So I had an excellent blog post last night. Then my laptop freaked out and froze up and I lost it all. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I really need to build this new computer. That will be a good day.
So I got a digital camera for Christmas. I am rather excited about it. Plenty of pictures to come.
Went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe yesterday with the family. I rather enjoyed it and would recommend it to all. Another thing I have been enjoying a lot lately, "Three Nights in August: Strategy, Heartbreak, and Joy Inside the Mind of a Manager" by Tony LaRussa and Buzz Bissinger. Such an awesome book. A must read for any baseball fan out there. You never realize just how much strategy is thought about over the course of a season by a manager and what integral part of baseball the manager is.
Rather aggrivated with other people right now. Grrrrrr. I would say more, but it would only make things worse.
I will just leave you with some more Rent to rock out to. I love these lyrics.

First Straw on a Chrstmas Eve
Almost Christmas. Kinda excited. Watching Phantom of the Opera with my family. Such a wonderful movie. I love it. Some how my parents made it this far through life without ever seeing any version of the Phantom. I am happy to help them with this.
Got to talk to my older brother Chad tonight. It was nice. I think this is going to be a wonderful Christmas.
Hung out with Amy today. It was nice as always to see her again. We shopped for my brother and then just hung out at her house for a while. We didn't do much over there, but it was just nice to hang out for a while. It's always fun to see her little brothers too. They are like a second set of little brothers to me. I love them. And they are still small enough that I can wrestle them, without it becoming competitive. Although with my real brothers, not much is not competitive.
Last night, we went to the Main Street Jazz & Blues club to see Farmer's Tan Market, a band of some old West grads including Ian Randall, Jordan Bay and Paxton Rodgers, all good friends of mine in high school. It was nice to see them. It was crazy there. Like a high school reunion, nearly every person I hung out with at West came out for the show. It was great. Even Danny O'Donnell and John Mackin were there, reuniting our old junior high group. Kinda crazy.
Still trying to figure some things out, but they are looking better. Got to talk to my little sister the other night about it and I think I have some things figured out.
Played Jimmy in chess tonight. It was fun. The kid is getting better. I helped him read the board a little better and I think it helped him a little. I probably sound like a nerd, but I have missed playing a good game of chess. I should get my hands on a board. If I do, any takers?
I've been talking to Erin O'Connor a lot online, lately. It's been fun. Turns out we have a lot in common, besides that whole she's nuts about country thing. Just a good time talking, and it's nice.
Well time to get some sleep. I'll leave you with some 311 to rock out to, but for now, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
Oh a whole new way of looking at things
The way you react to phone rings
The way it feels when you just let it flow
Sometimes I wonder just how it could be
You take every bit before we see it off the rails
I think that you should know
You never cease to amaze me
You keep me from going crazy
And that's one thing I know for sure
Sometimes I see just how it all will be
Take every bit it's so easy the first straw
And this I know for sure
The first straw
So small it seemed impossible
The next straw
Vanished like shooting stars that fall
The last straw
There's no reason for getting there at all
The last straw can land in your mix
Your best day could be apocalypse
Nobody pay attention to the first straw
It seems the last one is all we ever saw
The first straw's a metaphore I pick up myself
It tells me something by showing me something else
I think that you should know
Everyone reacts when it gets to the weight of breaking their back
I won't let that be us cause the long side never gave back

Santa Fe on a Monday Night
Still waiting on comments from a few people. Just so that you, I know who reads my blog, so please comment and then reflect on your own year.
So the Guys & Dolls cast list came out and it is kind of sad. Not sad because of who is on it, but because once again Rose is doing one of my all-time favorite shows and my name is not on it. Guys & Dolls is my favorite musical. Ever. My favorite play is Picasso and I had to watch my school do that and not be able to be a part of it. That's hard to do, especially when I introduced the show to the director because I originally wanted to direct it. And now Rose finally doe my favorite musical and I can't be a part of it. It's gonna be hard watching all of my friends go to play practice for my favorite show while I have to stay home. Maybe I can convince Bunny to let me be her assistant director or something. Someone to bounce ideas off of, to help organize, just a second hand man. We'll see what she says. Maybe I'll wait to see what kind of work load I have next semester first, but if it's anything close to this semester, I'll be bored out of my mind anyway.
A lot of new freshmen on this show. Hopefully this means there is a lot of new talent for RDC. I should tap into that for the 24 hour play festival.
Speaking of the 24 hour play festival, I am really excited about how many people have committed to it. We are 2 people away from being able to do 6 shows. We have 7 writers committed, a few who have never written a play, but other genres of creative writing so I gave them a prop and a cast to write a show for for practice. I can't wait to see what they come up with. We have quite a creative group. Should be great.
I am getting tired of this. I am not your mother. Why is doing your own dishes such a hard thing? Cups should not sit on the counter for a couple weeks. Take just a little responsibility for what you do. Everyone is so damned concerned about doing their share and only their share that they rarely even do their share. This isn't a hard concept. We are in friggin' college. How hard is this? You may not be the culprit all the time, but you are by no means completely innocent.
Tomorrow is Steak and Beer night. Sounds like a good time. And then I get to drive home. I am looking forward to this. Being home should be a nice change of pace. I have so many people to see, so little time. It will also be nice to have some quality family time.
It amazes me the number of long term relationships that ended this month or recently. I almost feel like my world is crashing down around me. I am just so confused.
Been in such a 311 mood. I have so much of their music from Katie that I have never listened to. So I started going through all of my music last night and found that as much as I love quite a few of their song, I don't particularly care for quite a few of them as well. In fact there are very few that I am middle ground on. I either love it or don't care to listen to it.
I have many new year's resolutions, although I doubt I'll ever post a few of them. But I'll post some of them later. Now isn't the right time for it. But I still want to see your reflections on the year and your favorite memory with me this year. I know who you are.
I should get some sleep, but I will leave you with some Rent to rock out to.
New York City
Uh huh
Center of the universe
Sing it, girl
Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse
I hear you
It's a comfort to know
When you're singing the hit the road blues
That anywhere else you could possibly go
After New York would be
A pleasure cruise
Now you're talking!
Well I'm thwarted by a metaphysic puzzle
And I'm sick of grading papers, that I know
And I'm shouting in my sleep, I need a muzzle
All this misery pays no salary, so
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Oh, sunny Santa Fe would be nice
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
And leave this to the roaches and mice
You teach?
I teach- computer age philosophy
But my students would rather watch TV
America
America!
You're a sensitive aesthete
Brush the sauce onto the meat
You could make the menu sparkle with rhyme
You could drum a gentle drum
I could seat guests as they come
Chatting not about heidegger, but wine
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Our labors would reap financial gains
Gains, gains, gains
We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
And save from devastation our brains
Save our brains
We'll pack up all our junk and fly so far away
Devote ourselves to projects that sell
We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Forget this cold Bohemian hell
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?
You know, tumbleweeds... prairie dogs...
Yeah

Poor Jud is Daid, Poor Jud Fry is Daid......
So Sunday Night Dinner is dead. How sad and how it will be missed. Sunday Night Dinner was that time of the weekend we all looked forward to and when things just slowed down getting ready to return to the weekdays. When six close friends could just sit down and enjoy a fabulous meal and one of these friends could show off their mad cooking skills or try out a new recipe. Every week it was different, but always something to look forward to. And now it rests in peace. I don't want to insult the newly lain SND, but I would like to start another dinner group. I kinda saw SND's death coming, making it much easier to get over. And I want to begin a new group, fresh. Any takers? Doesn't have to be on Sundays. Let me know what works best for you. :-)
As I was driving back yesterday, I was reflecting on this year and I would have to say it has been a good year. Got a real job in CS and live in my own house (as in mot my parents'). I fell in love and then suffered a hard break up, at which my friends showed me just how much they cared by dropping everything to help me through that night. Sure they had better things to do than go grab a few smoothies and chill on the dock, especially since it was around 1 am and they both had to be up early for work the next morning. But that's marking of a true friend, who will see you in need and drop everything else and even sacrifice sleep, for you. I also made great connections in my field and started a job in the Sports Information department that has made me think more about my future. I have applied for a dream job with the Cardinals (still crossing my fingers for that one). I have reconnected with so many old friends through theFacebook and had great times with new and old friends alike. I watched my Cardinals have an amazing year and fall short in the playoffs, but have someone to go nuts with me during it, even though I'm in Terre Haute and rumor has it she has an Astros tattoo, but I have never seen it. I turned 21 this year and felt old as can be. I watched a little brother graduate from high school and leave home for the Air Force Academy. I participated in a one of a kind theatre project, got a couple friends involved and began a project to bring it to Rose. I directed and produced my first full-length play in the form of a dinner theatre and directed and produced one of the best evening of one acts Rose-Hulman has ever seen. Thrown some of the best cast parties RDC has seen as well. Actually went somewhere for spring break and had a blast there for about the best spring break ever. Swam in the ocean without being stung b a jellyfish, woot. Switched schools and majors once again. Won awards for my work on the media guides, including a best in the nation, something to be very proud of.
Now I pass it to you. Everyone who reads this, please post a comment of your favorite memory with me this year and then reflect on the year in your blog. It's been a great year, so this should be fun.

Just One on a Sunday Night
How someone could be so cruel to someone so sweet simply boggles my mind. How could the sight of her tears not make you just melt? I wish I knew what to do. I want to just break him.
So this weekend overall was a good weekend. It was fun meeting Anne. How much she reminded me of Jennah was scary. That's right, Jennah, if you are reading this, I found your long lost twin!! Their faces are similar, but their smiles and laugh are identical. It was so weird. And their personalities were very similar as well. It was uncanny.
So that's what a real dance team looks like. Illinois College's dance team was excellent. Their routines were reminiscant of my old high school's team that regularly were the best in the state of Illinois. And at timeouts they had dances to quick 30 seconds bits of songs on the sidelines. And it looked great. They even did a dance to "Sadie Hawkins Dance" during one of the timeouts. I finally got to see Amy dance, and was very glad I did.
So I don't have class all week till Firday when I have my CS final. Who's up for a trip IC for Amy's play Wednesday night? It will just be a one-nighter, we will return here that night after the show. I really want to go, but it's a long drive solo in one night. So if you want to go, let me know and we'll do this.
Colts are 13-0, baby. To the remaining three teams, bring it.
Wow, the Rams sucked it up, again. At least the Colts are doing well.
So applied for my dream internship with the Cardinals today. MLB.com has an opportunity to do what I am currently doing at Rose, but with the Cardinals. If I get this, I will be on cloud nine. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Illinois has some messed up city names. Illiopolis?? And I definately passed a sign that sign Home-6 mi. How did they know?
Wow, a 16 year old with two kids, one of which is 3. I mention to someone that she obviously didn't learn with the first kid and was attacked. Learned?? Do you think she chose that???? No she didn't choose to get pregnant, but she did make some decisions that got her pregnant in the first place. I understand people make mistakes, but after you make a mistake that causes you to be a parent before high school, wouldn't you think back and be like what actions got me here in the first place, and maybe I need to stop that or at least be more careful about it. You would think you would better understand the consequences of your actions when you already have one child. And yes, unless it was a rape, she made decisions causing her to be pregnant. She wasn't walking home from school and magically pregnant.
It amazes me the things that people do sometimes and with little respect for other people's belongings.
Well, I think I will leave you with some Hoobastank that I have been enjoying. Enjoy.
I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breath
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My oppertunities
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna push
Gonna pull
Open up the door
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do never be the same
Never be the same
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

So applied for my dream internship with the Cardinals today. MLB.com has an opportunity to do what I am currently doing at Rose, but with the Cardinals. If I get this, I will be on cloud nine. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Illinois has some messed up city names. Illiopolis?? And I definately passed a sign that sign Home-6 mi. How did they know?
Wow, a 16 year old with two kids, one of which is 3. I mention to someone that she obviously didn't learn with the first kid and was attacked. Learned?? Do you think she chose that???? No she didn't choose to get pregnant, but she did make some decisions that got her pregnant in the first place. I understand people make mistakes, but after you make a mistake that causes you to be a parent before high school, wouldn't you think back and be like what actions got me here in the first place, and maybe I need to stop that or at least be more careful about it. You would think you would better understand the consequences of your actions when you already have one child. And yes, unless it was a rape, she made decisions causing her to be pregnant. She wasn't walking home from school and magically pregnant.
It amazes me the things that people do sometimes and with little respect for other people's belongings.
Well, I think I will leave you with some Hoobastank that I have been enjoying. Enjoy.
I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breath
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My oppertunities
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna push
Gonna pull
Open up the door
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do never be the same
Never be the same
Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Fire on a Sunday Night
So I may have done a stupid thing. Hmmmmm, well you live, you learn.
I haven't been to Fountain Square in a long time. Who is up for it? We wil get something together before Christmas break.
If there is one math I like best, I think its Discrete Mathematics (Disco). I wish I had taken that over Linear Algebra last year. Disco is like the math of common sense. I love it.
Wow, I am definately a nerd.
Ever start talking with someone from high school that you didn't talk with much when you were in high school with them and now you talk all the time making you wonder why the hell you didn't hang out more when you lived in the same city?
I need a good book for break. Any suggestions?
Apple-banana bread. Who would have thought. Kudos to Nick for making it. 25 points to you.
Hmmmm, its been a while since I've given out some points. So here we go. 50 points to Mike for becoming 21 and a blast this weekend. 40 points to Rabbi for saving your own ass by being too drunk (who woulda thought?). 30 points to all who came to the party last night. 35 points to Amy for a great phone call and nice talk last night. 50 points for anyone who came to our party from out of town. Those are true friends who don't let distance get in the way. You all rock. 25 points to all who put money in the blender. You guys keep us running. 25 points a piece to Elliot and Dani for some awesome togas and drinking out of a Vietnamese vase. I mean, that's just impressive. -15 points to any wrestler that asked me a stupid question this weekend (is wrestling like marijuana? I swear these wrestlers seemd to have lost more brain cells than any stoner I have ever met). -20 points to any coach/wrestler that was more high maintenance this weekend than a girl on the OC. 60 points to Amanda Parsons-Twesten for helping me hold onto that thing I call sanity. You very much rock. 20 points to Lindsey for Twister, the ultimate party game. 45 points to Danielle for writing an awesome play and 25 points to anyone that was in it/helped out. That was a blast. I miss acting so much, so it was great to work with you all again. another 15 points to anyone that took time to see me over Thanksgiving break, I miss you all. 35 points to Danny for getting me rehooked on the Supertones. 30 points to Brad for some good late night talks. Much appreciated. And lastly, an additional 25 points to anyone who posts a quote inside joke of ours to make me laugh and 15 to anyone to use the word "pickle" creatively in a comment.
Well I think that is all for now. So I will leave you with some Supertones. Enjoy.
Here is a question,
Who are the pure?
What is the thing you're livin' for?
The world says to grow up 'cause nothin' is true,
What I believe is right for me,
And what you believe is right for you,
Some call it a new day,
I call it the ice age,
They belive in nothing,
We I believe in one thing.
They're afraid to be inspired,
All that we desire is fire,
Same old deception in a brand new disguise.
What's good and evil?
You decide,
God says who he is,
And no one is higher,
God is true while men are liars.
God dosn't change with your desires,
The they get defensive,
Truth is so offensive.
They believe in nothing,
We believe in onr thing.
Afraid to be inspired,
All that we desire is fire,
Fire is faith and passion,
Fire is tranformation,
So do you wanna cool it?
Fan the flame when it glows,
They're afraid to be inspired,
All that we desire is fire.
