What a Walk...

I not only lose like 4 calories, I had three things happen to me in less than 10 minutes.

1. Well, I first noticed that I had tons of parking spots to choose from, that never happens when I drive to LCC, but the problem, I had to park in the "cheap" parking because someone forgot their change.

2. Someone asked for a quarter. I didn't have one.

3. Someone asked me if I wanted a Monster drink. I declined.

And all of that occured in less than 10 minutes.

And one more thing, two people were talking in the TLC building when I walked in, and one sounded a lot like Napoleon.

And now my story is to the present, when I am typing this amazing 10 minute adventure.

sorry, i keep posting. i haaaave to though. i finally put in my two weeks at work today...i hate doing things like that, so i put them off until the last minute. my boss had already heard it from someone else in the office though, which isn't good. he was like, "why are you leaving? do they pay good in yellowstone? are you leaving because you don't like it here?" i told him i wanted to get out and have some fun. he replied in all seriousness, "aren't you having fun here?" anyways...i took my writing final today and i just wish i knew now if i was going to get the gpa that tech wants from me or not so that i could plan. today at work, my boss and this other guy wanted me to see this video on global warming (with will ferrell) and how bush is so ignorant of it. and I watched it. i may be on the opposite side of all of you on global warming, but bush is still my boy. this clip really makes fun of him and religion and there's a quote where "bush" says, "of course it's warming up, the earth goes through warming cycles. why do you think adam and eve didn't wear any clothes?" because both my boss and the other guy have ph.d's and think they know it all, not to mention they already look down on me, i didn't feel like arguing with them. aren't i awful?

im most likely the laziest person youll meet

today anyway, and i blame it on giving blood. ive wanted to sleep all day...and ive accomplished absolutely nothing. i could have taken my writing final...but i didnt finish my papers. i guess ill take it tomorrow after work. and right now, i should be in math class, but im not. i'm trying to work up the ambition to run, but its cold out and cold weather makes me feel like staying inside. (freshmen 15 could be a problem at tech lol) thats about all i have to offer for a new post. no global warming/climate change anything allowed on my post!

28 hours

Well, didn't sleep at all (besides the ocassional dozing off in The Ring) last night. This morning, while I was watching cartoons, I dozed off again. I wonder how I will feel later today with the 28 hours of no sleeping.

So I'm here at work...chillin' while my data model processes. My face is having an allergic reaction to something. It's swollen, really red, itchy and hot on one side and spreading! I've never had a reaction to anything, so it's freaking me out. What do you do when you have a reaction? Just stick it out and wait till it goes away? If I smile, it feels weird. Anyway, I'll leave soon.
What I really want to post about...I'm trying to get into better shape, just to be healthy, but being healthy (and fitting into my summer clothes!) isn't a good enough incentive for me. Anyone want to train for a half-marathon/triathalon/duathalon with me?? Seriously! I've always wanted to and I think it would be great if I could be in on it with a couple of other people. I could probably even settle for just a 5K (3.1 mi) if people wanted to. See, the object wouldn't be to compete in these races, most people don't, they just do it for themselves. Completing the race is an accomplishment in itself. And we would have at least 3 months to prepare which is quite awhile. I've found some cool races both in Wyoming and in Michigan. Or Sleepy Hollow is holding the Lansing Legislator triathalon and half-triathalon again mid-August so that would be cool too. They even have these things called adventure races that are like marathon camping/hikin/biking/mapping even rock climbing races through the wilderness. Anyway, any takers for some physical activity?

poem composed in a short manner to other poets

with all of this radical ridiculous rhyming
As if all poetry pertained to positions
Of letters left at ends of lines
I am quite quickly sure
That our poetical poets, have no working
Knowledge of knowing poetry.
They fretfully forget fresh sounding vowels
Sweet simpering consonants as well.
Personification, simile, are left
As if their sweet names had never been heard

A Poem to a Friend

My dearest cousin Rachael:

you need to chill!
readily I can hide,
but I can get down a roof ever more faster.
improving, my ankle is.
beating you is my biz.
It is now the hour
that your blog may be called our
for I have posted this poem
and I really want to go home
so would you please
get here before I make a bunch of Zs.
I want some cheese with that whine.
but after this poem which is fine,
I have the more lines,
so there are many signs
that I am indeed better than you,
but for the sake of rhyming schemes you are great too.


With love,
your cousin Tom

Naïve or is it really possible to be friends with a guy?

No one else posts but me. Oh well. It annoys me that people think it's impossible/not allowed to be friends and go out (as in go places) with a guy without dating. So you go out with a guy, not a date, just going out like you would go out with a girl except (gasp) it's a guy?? Is it a date just because it's a guy, not a girl? I don't think so. My family does. Tell me what you think. (Jennifer, I may need some help on this one.)
