About Me

..I'm the kid that you see all the time, but probably don't know too well. Unless you know me... then I guess you're an exception. I'm a pretty big dork. Most of my life revolves around being as lazy as possible, but getting enough done that people won't notice. I was born in Cleveland, and still live here- its really not exciting... at all. I grew up in Euclid. Represent. I moved to Mayfield in 6th grade. I'm a pretty avid gamer, but still suck at a lot of things. I played hockey for eight years, but I'm now retired. I like to try to sound smart by using big words. I don't have any pets, so I guess putting this note in here is a waste of your time- oh well, its your problem, not mine. I graduated from Mayfield High School in June, 2005, and am now going to Bowling Green State University. I want to be a politician, but I don't own a ketchup company, so I guess that's out of the question. I think most Conservatives are greedy and ignorant. Unfortunately, so are a lot of Liberals. I'm going to be a teacher, because that's just how I roll. I also think that The Adventures of Pete and Pete is the greatest and most underrated show of all time. Period. I once drank a can of tomato sauce for five dollars, and never got paid for it. I immediately regret mentioning that. People like me because I am polite and am rarely late. I enjoy ice cream and a nice pair of slacks. If you want to talk to me, my AIM name is tater826mc. Have a blast. Or not. It's up to you. Oh well... there's some hot pockets in the freezer- help yourself.Also, see how good of a friend you are...

On Change

On God.

Now is as good a time to write all this down as any.To set the stage for why I feel I must write this now, I figure that I should give some kind of backstory. The other day, walking around campus, the...

You Couldn't Last a Lifetime

Wow, I haven't touched this thing in far too long.So, Summer is just about over. It's kind of hard to believe- it really does seem like I just got home. In fact, I've still got a box or two that I hav...

Halfway Home

I never really realized how confined I am at home before. I've found myself bored and alone more than I can ever recall being at school. It's funny, because in BG, I can't seem to get any time alone, ...

Strange Encounters

Have you ever noticed that strangers can sometimes have an influence upon your life that you really can't explain? I mean, of course you probably haven't met the President (which is probably a good th...

Ch-Ch-Changes

It's strange how on a nighttime train ride through the city, while you are surrounded by people and noise, you can really begin to focus on your thoughts. I've been thinking about my growth over the l...

My Evil Plan

You know those little tags in packs of underwear that say "Inspected by 41?" Well, maybe not 41, per say, but definitely some number.I plan to collect these tags and leave them in odd places, like in ...

A Few Thoughts

You know, life can be funny sometimes. It's amazing how much is being said with that one sentence. It's not an incredibly profound statement, but it is one that is universally true at one time or anot...

On the Past and the Future

Why is it that when we look back upon past friendships, relationships, etc that don't pan out like we'd hoped they would have, it's always with a sense of insecurity and embarassment? When you have st...
