I've wanted a motorcycle for a while now and I quickly chose my dream bike, a Honda Rebel. The Rebel is a small, sleek, well running bike that is cheap but reliable. It's known as a "starter" bike but I think it would be ideal for me. Small, easy to handle, minimal. I'm not a big fan of the huge bikes with all sorts of add-ons and doo-das. I've ( Read more... )

I just got a message on Facebook from a girl who I casually dated when I was living in Stevens Point. She said that she found my high school class right in a box of crap. She wasn't sure if I was the correct person because it's been a while since we dated and we have defiantely not been in touch. My freshmen year of college was around the time I ( Read more... )

I found out yesterday that I'm not eligible for unemployment because I'm a full time student and therefore cannot do the appropriate job searching. If I was majoring in something more worthwhile or useful I might be eligible but social sciences... not so much. Boo.

This weekend I've decided to journey out of Wisconsin and travel through Illinois to visit Cahokia. Cahokia is an archaeological site near Saint Louis and it has the biggest mound north of Mexico.
