Ok, so this is a bit strange. Last year, on one of my first days of work, I pull up to the stop light near Copp's on my way there. The guy next to me in a white impala was lookin' at me, and I glanced over, and he waved. I thought hmmm, do I know you?? I looked again, and no, I had no clue who this mysterious man in his late 30's was. I really thought nothing of it after that day, well, that was last August. Now, today July 20th, 2004... I pull up to the same stop light upon leaving work and heading home. A white impala (what is it with white impala's) pulls up next to me, I don't even notice, until the car honks to get my attention, I look over and if I didn't shit myself, it was the same god damn guy. This time I had my windows open, as did he. He yells to me, Nice car. I mumble, thanks. He says, I used to have one of those. I just smile and do one of those, i see, you freak.. kind of nods. Then the light turns and I bolt off tires squealing and all. Thinking that maybe that might give him a bit of a sign, such as, hey don't talk to me at the stoplight weirdo. But no, we go a little way and get to another red light and sure enough, he pulls up next to me. He starts talking again, I never looked his way, but I did answer him. He started talking about things about my car, what year it was, what kind of engine it had, how many miles. All the while I'm going "TURN GREEN YOU GOD DAMN LIGHT TUUUUUUURN!!!! AHHHH!!!" But I was calm and collected on the outside. Then, in the best Jim Carrey impression from Dumb and Dumber, he says "well, see ya later" I almost imagined him to have said, "big gulps eh?" right before that. But fortunately he didn't, or I may have run the red light. Andyway.. that kinda creeped me out, really... a lot... you have no idea. my mind is still boggled. Nothing more from me tonight... Have a nice HOT 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!
