New Ringtone

Currently listening to: Coheed & Cambria - The Final Cut

I downloaded a new ringtone today. It's now "Riding Dirty" by Chamillionare.

Oh yes. It is on.

BIG CHANGE

Currently listening to: Comedy Central Presents - Ted Alexandro

I made a big change in my life. So big, that I put it in caps-lock in the subject line. HUGE.

When my father first sat me down as a kid and said something like "Tim, my son, you stink. It's time to start using deodorant", I began using Speed Stick, the Original scent formula that makes you smell like a pine forest. I've been using this same stuff since like 6th grade simply because that's what he used, and I've grown to love it. I get to walk out into the world each day smelling like a Christmas Tree knowing that the ladies will be impressed. Well, atleast the rugged, logger-type girls.

Well, about a month ago I was at Sam's Club buying stuff and knew that I was down to my last stick and needed more. Alas, they had none. They no longer carried Speed Stick. I was faced with a dilemma: buy something else there for the cheap, bulk price or go somewhere else and pay full price for Speed Stick.

I think you know where the story turned at this point. I stared at the selection for a while and finally chose Old Spice High-Endurance, Pure Sport scent deodorant.

I've had it on for about 2 hours now, and I have to admit, I'm liking it. It smells great, feels pretty good under there, the container is larger than the Speed Stick ones so it'll last longer, and it was just as cheap. After 12 years of smelling like a tree, I've finally moved on.

Feel free to smell me next time you see me. I assure you that you'll be impressed.

Swweeettt

The past few days have been pretty cool. On Saturday night SocComm had Kyle Cease come and entertain us for a while. As expected, he was hilarious. He was super cool afterwards too. He hung out with us for a while, made fun of us, signed our crap (I had him sign my "10 Things I Hate About You" DVD box, I'll post pictures later), and Dave and I got our picture with him:

Sunday, Bethany and I hung out, ran some errands, and then went to Famous Dave's down in Braintree. It's my favorite BBQ place, despite being a chain restaurant. You should try it sometime if you haven't yet.

And today I noticed that Co&Ca finally put The Amory Wars Sketchbook up for sale which chronicles the characters, the background info, and where the story will be going next with the upcoming album. I, of course, instantly bought it. I'm pretty pysched.

Seemingly Inappropriate

Currently listening to: Nothing, I have a splitting headache

After I got out of my lecture last night, I went up to the Game Night with my roommate Dave to check out what the SocComm kids were up to. Much free pizza, soda, and ice cream were promptly consumed while watching Red play Risk. Dave and I soon began a game of Jenga.

About half-way through I realized that it felt borderline inappropriate. You know, to be playing a game, involving a tower, that in the end, winds up crashing down. And you laugh.

It's probably similar to playing Battleship on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.

Fun weekend

Currently listening to: Coheed & Cambria - The Light & The Glass

This weekend was pretty cool. It was my last "real" weekend for a while because starting tonight I'll now have 2 courses to deal with, FIRST, FIRST Lego League, FIRST Vex, and, oh yeah, work. So, I goofed off and relaxed alot.

Friday: didn't really do much after work. Went to Moe's with some SocComm people and then met Bethany later for coffee.

Saturday: got ready and headed out for the day. Helped Beth look at cars. She finally decided on this sexy 2003 black Eclipse. I like it. Then I went to Meredith's wedding and reception and then helped my grandmother at the rest home for a bit before calling it a night.

Sunday: woke up early and went to Boston all day with Bethany. A little Quincy Market action combined with a trip to the aquarium and staring at tiny people from the Prudential made for an awesome day/night. One of the best days that I've had in a while. Of course, I ruined it by staying up till 3ish-am last night getting homework done before today, but, oh well!

Awesome Day!

Today rocked. Rocked a lot.

7:30 - Woke up late for work. Didn't care though, because I remembered that I showered the night before so I didn't need to. However, I did have to skip breakfast. I proceeded to suck down a Red Bull to make up for this.

8ish - Show up to work late. Nobody notices. Sweet.

8:20 - I find a package waiting for me, with handwriting that I oddly recognize. I open it up to find a book that I've been hoping to get for a while now, the travel log of Gordon Lankton from when he went around the world in 1957 on a motorcycle. Gordon, for those of you not familiar with Clinton, is the former CEO of Nypro and currently the Chairman of the Board. The book was filled out to me inside and signed. Booyah. I can't wait to start reading it.

8:30 - Ray from Fluid Power Automation shows up with coffee and muffins. I now have breakfast. For free. Double bonus!

10:00 - Attend a 1 hour + 401k meeting where I learn alot, get more free food, and killed an hour during the day.

12:00 - Go to my dad's to eat Bearburger Helper and Deer Venison Sausage. Sweet!

12:30 - Give myself a fresh new buzzcut. Now I look slick.

Ah, good times today. Now it's off to Moe's for a scrumptious Tex-Mex dinner.

Whatttt!?!?!

Currently listening to: Dane Cook - Let's Do This

I have homework due for the FIRST NIGHT of one of my grad classes, Organizational Behavior. Homework. Due on the first night.

Who does that? Seriously. That's such a ballsy move that even undergrad professors will rarely do it. But for a grad class?
It's not that bad of a deal for me because I'm used to it from a few years ago and I know my way around the myWPI website, but what will Joe Schmoe 40 year old dude who is just coming back to school do about this? I have a feeling that I'll be the only one with the homework done for that class.

That's good motivation to do it, huh?
