So I will post again?

Yesterday was Neil and Amber's wedding. I had a fun time. Didn't really dance that much until the very end. Neil and Amber hit a deer right before they got to their hotel. And now they are on their way to Hawaii (yup, they are going to the hospital in Hawaii).

Ben is back. Saw part of the game two of Pistons and Heat with him. They won, but the Heat stalled the pistons in the third game.

We saw X-Men 3, with 15 or so people. I saw Nick Pobocik from Veritas there and we talked for like a minute.

I think that is all that happened since I last posted.

So I am the only that is posting now?

Adam said this, but I think it shouldn't be true.

The Reasons:
1. There are 10 people who can post on this blog, and only 3 of them can no longer post. But are you sure, they might be alittle busier, but if they don't talk to us on the phone, this is the only way for communication. Granted, these three people probably post the most, especially Rachael (you post hog)

2. Ben is coming back soon, so he will posting like crazy, maybe.

3. Because I decide who posts and doesn't posts.

May 8th

Well Today is Rachael's birthday...as many of you already know...so well what are we going to do about it?... I haven't been shopping yet so I still can get her a present...any ideas EMAIL me. Mmmm.... I really feel like painting. But I need to study...gahhh well HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHAEL!!!! YOU ARE NOW 19 YEARS OLD WHICH IS PRETTY OLD....AND STUFF.

Work is a lonely place to be...

but it's my last day, so I can probably deal with it. File cabinets are being carted out all around me while some of my coworkers stand by and watch. The tables once full of deforestation pamphlets are now empty and only the mohagany tabletops remain. People keep giving me random tasks like vacuuming or moving boxes. The walls once plastered with satellite images of Baghdad before and after the bombing, the Amazon rainforest over the years and other satellite maps are now just empty and way too white. The group in my office space is splitting up; half are moving across the hall and the upstairs are moving in. People are gossiping about who is taking whose stuff and other petty stuff like that. Earlier today, I had to train someone who is almost a grad student to do my work and I've had to train the higher-ups how to use the copy machine, how to send faxes and how to get the mail! (yes, they've been in this building for 10+years and don't know where the mail room is) So, today is just a weird day and I wish I was along with the crew going to get John. 3 hours 10 minutes left and I'll see ya'll tonight!!

So here I am...

Not doing anything. I am in the computer lab bored out of my mind. And I don't have any exams to study for. Well, I could study for Design and Communication, but no. I already took my math test. It only took me about 2 hours. And now Gmail isn't working, the only communication I do have is gone. No, I didn't lose my cell phone, even though you weren't thinking about that. I will be very bored come next week. I only have one exam next week and then what? Nothing. Well, I didn't warn you guys of this rant of my boredom, but you hardly comment on my posts anyway. Well, you will comment, maybe something other than what I am talking about, maybe Jennifer will comment saying she has a new post. Yup, there is no sign of intelligent life anyway, besides me of course. :) I will probably receive more comments about that last sentence than any other. Well, what movie was that from? The intelligent life sentence.

Its Movie Time!

man, i feel like making a movie. we've all been saying we have to make a movie. well, if we want a movie, we need a script and thats what this post is all about. we gotta make this thing before rachael, sarah, and i leave and when jennifer and john are here. put your ideas here and we'll discuss them. or has this been discussed already? didn't sarah say something about writing a scipt. i dont know. anyway, this movie is going to be great.

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

April Fools Day comes once a year...

The best practical joke ever?


Ok world, help pay for these guy's bill.

this is the site i got when i typed in the address to usnow wrong.

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.)

Get the M n' M's dude.

Too bad it's going to be on a Wednesday, not a Tuesday or Thursday. And I was eating pizza in the cafeteria after my math exam, trying to recover from brain drain (taking an exam after skipping 2.5 weeks of classes...) when I was shocked and appauled to see a monster cooler!! Monster energy drinks couldn't go in with SoBe, apple juice and pepsi? Weird. Some day, you sickos will realize that it tastes like cough syrup.
So, there was a MTU rep. in the A&S today and I asked him if all the scholarships are awarded...fast forward through my anger...MTU IS NOT GIVING ME ANY FINANCIAL AID or scholarships. Any. So...I'm faced with some issues. Ugh, I just feel like, "God, what am I supposed to do now? I'll continue to trust you, but I'm going to need $17,00 pretty quickly or completely change my life path." Tuition is way too much to take out a loan for. My mind is already compiling other options, which do not include LCC or any other college besides MTU. Read into that one all you want. That's my life and remember the most charming way to let someone know they're beautiful is to stalk them...hehe. Oh and Kenric, check out this persons photostream, it's pretty cool.

Tom’s thoughts we can’t comprehend
He has a great philosophy.
‘Tis truely a great place
this room, this hall,
is where his thoughts get lifted off their feet &
dance in this place called conscious
is where it all happens
chance, it’s all we have to comprehend it.
Our chance of comprehension is the same as lottery
The odds of winning and our chance of catching is =.
We are the lottery. We are the fuse and the ammunition
Tom’s thoughts are like the wind
And our heads are bald.
We can’t catch it.
These dreams of his, Don’t…
Why should our conscious understand? Get…
Many sages of old try to discover, Me…
Meanings. Hunt them down, Wrong…
And capture them with bow, staff, &, he’s
Bowstaff, cool…
