The Good Samaritan
I gazed haphazardly at the clock. 10:48am. I was sitting in my State and Local politics class, as I had been for the last hour and 18 minutes. Finally, my torture of attempting to keep my brain focused and awake while I listened to my professor drone on about the federal system and local government prerogatives would come to an end, and I would ( Read more... ) -

I know it's for the best, but its still painful...

For the past couple days, I've been working on creating an outdoor pond for my pet turtle at my dad's house. We realized that over the past few years we've confined the turtle in basically prison cell-like accommodations which may have bordered on animal cruelty.

The Iraq War
I had a dream last night that I was a soldier in Iraq. It was terrifying. We would drive around, looking apprehensively at every piece of trash or pothole in the road with a constant fear hitting of an IED.

I woke up this morning at 6:30am, dying of thirst. I had been drinking the night before. Since I couldn't fall back asleep and didn't feel like laying in bed, I got up, went for a run, lifted weights, and then read the blog entry that changed my life ( Read more... ) -

I learned my spreading technique from my Dad, who uses pb and ritz as a staple to his diet. I then began to wonder, what snacks do other people like? So ( Read more... ) -
Happy Easter
So I'm home for Easter and man have I been enjoying the food so far. Damn home-cookin' is good. My roommate and I have recently become addicted to a series of YouTube game reviews done by 'JamesNintendoNerd'. Basically, he reviews all these horrible games and gives really angry reviews, including hybrid-curses like "what a shit-load of fuck". I ( Read more... ) -

Upward Bound
Things have turned around since Black Friday when I got back my econ test with a big fat F on it last week. I got a flat A on my military history paper (only the 2nd time in my W&M career) and seem to be weathering the hurricane of work that is midterm week fairly well so far ( Read more... )
