Ok, so that last post, well I dunno... I was angry at the time, just a billion little things emerging into one explosion. So anyway, I'm back to my normal non-agressive happy go lucky self...

Today I discovered something I can do with my GPS that's quite fun. It's called Geocaching. Here's how it works. Somebody hide a box, called a cache. Then they record the coordinates of it from there GPS and post it on the Geocaching website. Then you go on there and look up the caches in your area and go out and find the one's that people have hidden, by putting the coordinates into your own GPS. Then when/if you find it you sign the log book to let everyone know you were there. And you take something, a key chain, coins, whatever there may be in there, and you leave something else, usually something that you got out of another cache. It's really cool. If you have a GPS or are like me and like neat toys like those, then this is reason enough to get one! They are fairly expensive though, I got mine discounted through our manufacturer for my job and it was still $180. So anyway, just wanted to let you know what I was up to today. Talk to y'all later... have a nice summer!

EC in the summertime..

In theory it's a good idea. No parents, lot's of money from work. Take some extra credits. WRONG! The reality of it all is that until the two of my room mates that are staying for the summer return, I'm going to be bored out of my mind! I've looked in the fridge like 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I watched a movie that was a good way to kill a couple hours, but I just keep thinking, until I start class monday, what can I do in my spare time?? So, any ideas, let me know. Let's see what you guys can come up with, just post them as comments, it'll be a game. We'll see who can come up with the best idea for what Ryan should do when he's bored. Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!
