Patri-falses?
Pats fans mourn. Not a good day for us. We didn't play very well last night. Eli had a few stellar passes but I can barely say the same for Brady. I saw some great catches and Welker played pretty well. But the pats were off, and what a game to be off for.
I feel bad for Shane's brother.
He went to a casino a while ago and put down 50 dollars on the pats having a perfect season. Just a lonely pats fan out west, trying to cheer on the home team. Turns out the pats go 16-0 and if they win the superbowl his 50 dollars becomes 20,000, just like that.
Well the pats lost. And I feel bad for shanes brother because it was so close.
But enough of that, I dont really care about sports. Its too bad but regardless if they win or lose, I still have a physics test wednesday, yknow? My life and the life of a new england patriot are distinctly and entirely dissimilar.
With that said. I figured I'd update you on what's new in my life.
Last week I worked my face off putting together a research proposal. want to see it? Remember I told you I was working in a spine bioengineering lab? Well I am, and there is this research award thing that I applied for. Follow that link if you want to see the proposal.
If I get chosen, I win $3000 to go towards the research (including a trip to the orthopaedic research society) and $1000 cash moneys to my face.
Not bad. Plus I'll be getting all the experience
Haha, but check this out. I didn't have a resume and they needed me to send one in. I ended up including this in my resume.
Yea, that is a graph of my GPA each semester. Whats it to you? Look at that ridiculous dip in performance though. Let me be a spokesperson for all those who choose to disagree.
Marijuana effects your academic performance. Please consult figure 1 (left). I wonder if I'll ever be able to bring my cumulative back up again. It'll be tough.
I had an idea. Here's an idea. Remember how I said I was moving sites so that I can add other pages? I thought of a page. I'd like to add sections of knowledge... kind of like class notes, but easy to follow with pictures. More like drawings or cartoons. And the subjects would be stuff that you probably don't know about. I would probably try to raid my class notes for an interesting topic and then just go off on it.
Let me know if you think that would be cool. I realize lots of us are studying different stuff at school. Might be neat to get a glimpse into another person's situation. Namely, mine.
Hyde, still debating between costa and spainiard. Dave suggested london but then I'm not altogether surprised.
I saw there will be blood but i won't review it. Let's just say that he is definitely a good actor. I just think its very weird which movies the world of movie snobs decide to embrace as extraordinary. Actually. that's a good word for the movie. Extra-ordinary. (sans ordinary). Though I'd have to give it to no country for old dudes in the end.
So suddenly my digg world is being rocked by real life interactions. Namely, suddenly I have friends on digg that i recognize in the world of the living.

'cause I owe you one
So what if I pre-justified the past two posts. I'm not going to make a habit of it.
But you know what else? I think I might move locations. Don't be afraid. You will barely notice. I'll probably make this site redirect automatically so you really really don't notice.
Why am I moving?
Well I'm not sure I'm moving yet. I'm pretty sure. For now I'll be staying here.
But I want more pages! I don't like how I only have one page. I want a video's section, I want a pictures section, I want a section regarding x and another section regarding y.
You might have a problem with this, but I doubt it. All the things I type will still end up on the front page. So it might happen. Watch out. And when it does. Oh boy. You are really in for it then.
Kinda like this.
American cheese is really an absurd cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I don't like it on crackers, I don't like it as a cheese really. It's something else entirely. It's just this fatty slice of delicious. With cheddar I get the feeling that its wholesome kinda. Same with provolone, mozzarella. These are cheeses and you can get them in Italy probably. They are classy cheeses.
American cheese is not classy at all. But maybe that's what I like about it. It melts differently. It causes trouble and it tells meat that its going to chill on top of it and make it taste better, regardless.
I don't know, but I made macaroni and cheese yesterday and I used a lot of american cheese. It really got its point across.
Here is my dilemma. (cheese not included in following comments)
Spring break is coming. I am going somewhere this year.
In a fragment... Spain or Costa Rica?
Shall I weigh out the options? I shall.
Spain
Well let's start it off. Hyde is in Spain. No, it's not that I miss him terribly and must be near him because I can't stand it any longer. That is what directs me to Spain in the first place, though. Otherwise I'd probably go to Germany.
But Hyde is in Spain. So !zeig fleischen de fluggen! (not an actual german phrase, but say it angrily and youll sound german) (also say "!dry-vin zee audi!)
Hyde speaks spanish, I've never been to europe, howley and sean would probably go. Spain is looking pretty solid so far, right? I'd stay in a hostel, which I'm down with. And I'd just kick ass in general.
However, hyde might be too busy (with finals) to actually hang out. Also, I'd probably prefer to be in Madrid or maybe even just travel about for a week and hope to get back to the airport on time. I'm not sure. Europe is sweet and it could be extremely cool to go there. But if I went I'd have pseudo-obligations to stay in seville.
Oh and clearly if I went to seville I'd rent a moped instantly and I'd rent it for the whole week. Might even see if I can get my paws on something faster.
Costa Rica
My girlfriend will be there as well as a bunch of kids from UVM. Well I'm not so sure how many a bunch actually translates to but the bottom line is that I'll be chilling hard. Ill do what I can to get a moped but I doubt that's the scene. I'd be staying in a 17 dollar a night place in the jungle. Sounds sick, right?
My american dolla dolla would be worth cash money, too. However, that would mean that I go back to the tropics and I still have yet to cross the atlantic.
Who woulda thought i'd cross the pacific before the atlantic.
Overall
I don't know. I just don't know. It's tough. I like being further away than closer. So spain gets a bonus. I like mopeds, hyde, howley, sean, so spain gets a double bonus. But not really because howley will be skateboarding all day like a dork, hyde will be studying like a loser, and sean smells bad and is bad at halo.
So the reasons I'd go to seville in the first place are null and void.
Except for the moped. Which always knows just what to say.
I'll let you know when I decide.

'cause hyde blog'd today
So I might as well let you guys in on a little bit of my life.
I've got a ridiculously intense work load this semester. I can work all day, and do, and still be behind. It's really intense.
Today I had to present for my Developmental Neurobiology test. I had to read a research paper and then present on it for 50 min. It was ridiculous. I showed it to people (my mom, my bro in law) and asked them to read one sentence. Just one.
They couldn't. The whole thing is science'd out to the extreme. Check it out, see if you can understand a sentence of it. Crazy, huh?
Anyway, I just finished that so I don't have to do anything in that class for the rest of the semester except take the tests. F yeah.
But that's only one class. The others are absurd too.
My line up this semester...
Calc, Physics, Physics lab, Physics discussion, Genetics, Genetics discussion, Developmental Neurobiology, Animal Health... 18 credits
Oh check this out. In animal health (its my easy class, so that I can have some kind of relaxation) our professor is a veterinarian. So he brought these videos in the other day and we watched them the whole time (cause the computer was messed up or something).
It was him neutering a cat and a dog. Narrated. The whole procedure from a tail-wagging dog to a testicle-wagging scalpal. It was pretty intense.
Fun fact. The penis is other animals has a bone in it that makes it kinda like it's always erect. Guess what its called? An ospenis. Haha. funny name.
Ospenis.
So the other night I'm in my apartment, its late and I got back sober enough not to pass out instantly but drunk enough to make a ridiculous assortment of sandwiches and such for me and friends.
A little rattle at the door.
Who the hell could that be? I open it up and its my neighbor standing there, looking like he didn't mean to knock on the door.
I can't really tell what he's trying to say, hes not speaking. He's obviously drunk. Wasted. Hammered. His cheeks are rosey but hes cleancut, like he dressed up before he went out somewhat and now gives the appearance of having his act together....somewhat.
Except he doesn't have his act together. He still hasn't said a sentence. I ask him, "hey man, are you locked out?". From the looks of it he is locked out. He looks at me, I look at him, I say, "we have an aero bed you can sleep on". He reaches into his pocket.
He pulls out 4 quarters.
He looks at his hand, then me, then back at his hand. I laugh. I ended up leaving the door open for him, I was tired of trying to figure out what he was saying. Its like being a hampster psychiatrist. You just aren't going to get it to tell you anything significant.
So i wake up to andrew (my roommate) telling me that kenny (the neighbor) is passed out in the hallway, face down on the stairs.
Fast forward the next day I'm leaving the apartment. A nice smelly pile of puke on the stairs.
Good thing he slept on the stairs and not on my couch, i guess.
P.S. it still smells awful, he waited 2 days to clean it.
I'm going to try to post again soon, I've been really busy so I want to apologize to everyone. Only a half apology, though. I'm devoting the other half to justification for why I didn't post.
Hyde, should I still come to seville?

7 reasons why you are NOT legend
I've heard some people say they liked it. I've heard a few say they didn't. Well I finally watched it. So the verdict is in.
**drum roll**
It was bad. Ohhh wait you liked it? That's too bad, you like bad movies. Someone told me they liked it because they "were expecting it to be bad" but it was "actually pretty entertaining" or something similar. Well thats a ridiculous reason to think a movie is good.
I think it's good because before I saw it I thought it was bad.
Yeah. Ok.
So, without further adou, here is why the movie was bad.
1) Will Smith drives around with a sniper rifle trying to hunt.
Sure its the opening scene and it lets you understand that he's alone. But we already knew that anyway. It makes no sense to drive really fast chasing a bunch of gazelle and then wait until you are driving next to it to somehow snipe it. So dumb. Either A) use a shotgun or B) snipe the damn things without driving the car.
2) The zombies were terrible
I like zombie movies. In fact, when I realized that it was a zombie movie I was pretty excited. It cant be THAT bad, there are going to be zombies in it. Well turns out the zombies were a really shitty bad-CGI-golem mixed with 28 days later zombies. They didn't look scary. They just looked fake and stupid. Not only can they jump around in ways that are completely unnatural, but apparently they don't really need to eat to live. What's more, they are intelligent enough to set up elaborate traps but not smart enough to develop clothes or umbrella technology (to protect them from the light). Oh did I also mention that they have the ability to change their facial structure when they scream?
Nothing about the zombies is cool. Including the fact that...
3) A zombie bit will smith in the neck for a while and nothing happened.
No blood, no zombification or carnage. Just kisses. Just really bad CG kisses.
4)Will smith had the ability to use multiple iPod players, appliances, dual treadmills...
You'd think that if you were the last person on Earth that you would probably notice the power going out. Not Will smith. Priority number one was apparently rewiring his entire house to run off of two small generators kept indoors. Ignore the fact that the treadmills are upstairs. He's going to run one for him and one for his dog, an ipod player or two, the sparker in his stove, his refrigerator, his entertainment set up, and countless other devices. This made me pretty mad.
If everyone is dead there should be a significant decrease in home entertainment. I'm struggling because the writers are on strike. Will Smith isn't struggling with the writers, plumbers, electric company, gas company, and planet on strike. And by strike, I mean magically converted to awful CGI neck-kissing zombies.
5)Will Smith's house was *not* on lock down?
I was impressed that somehow between the onset of this terrible zombie disease and the death of everyone Smith somehow managed to install really intense steel locking door/window/everything gates. Thats really cool. And I'm willing to accept that he just convinced skilled zombie laborers to do the work for him. That's not my problem. My problem is that somehow the zombie was able to quickly and easily spiderman leap onto his house and easily bend the steel. I really didn't like that.
6)"I wouldn't have sex with you if you were the last person on earth"
Imagine this. You are a young attractive male living alone in a deserted city. There is nobody around to propagate the species so it's very likely that you are the last human around. You may or may not be legend. Either way, it makes sense for you to shower daily, wear nice clothes, and exercise a lot. Not to mention shave, get haircuts, and keep yourself well-groomed.
Ok now imagine suddenly you get saved by a hot chick (i'm not even going to go into the whole saving part, but trust me it sucked too). Suddenly you are not the only person around. You are suddenly accompanied by a very attractive female. Not only that, she also apparently decided it was a good idea to invest some time and energy into grooming herself, shaving, and looking pretty wearing nice clothes.
What does will smith do? Well I'll tell you what he doesn't do first. He DOESNT have sex with her. Nope. Doesn't even want to. Doesn't even want to use the line So, what if I was the last guy on earth, would you make out with me then? Oh would you look at that? I AM the last guy on earth
Instead he doesn't even ask her how she survived, tell her hes glad hes not the only one. Nope. He just throws some bacon against a wall and says all of hte lines to the movie shrek. Strike six.
7) Flash back scene is completely worthless
Some movies will have flash backs in them. Every so often you get the flash back and more is revealed about the character. the show lost does this sometimes. You find out interesting things. Things you didn't already know, at the very least.
So you get a flash and things are just heating up. Zombies are there and people are evacuating and then thats it. Ok this is going to be good, "i bet his family gets zombie eaten" you think.
Well guess what. The flash backs keep coming in the way you'd expect, you keep wanting more. And what happens? The little girl hands him the dog at the last minute, then a helicopter flies into their helicopter.
Nice.
And by nice I mean, "why did you waste my time with that flashback" and also, "thank you for showing me the cute puppy".
**drum roll**

Dramatic Prairie dog post
I'm posting this because it's too funny not to. Absolutely ridiculous.
It started just like any other internet search. Started at digg.com and made my way into the interwebs. Then I came across something absurd. Well, a few things absurd. Including some chick saying "look at my tits, look at my tits, look at my tits". Actually you know what, I'm going to show you the highlight reel of the videos I've watched. Ending with the elusive and very stern chipmunk/prairie dog.
Video 1: Awesome belly dancer slash trying-to-be-hot chick. She's really good and she knows it. She isn't afraid to use props. Check out her life for a bit.
Video 2: Because I can't just write "look at my tits" on this blog and not explain myself. It isnt a good video. It isn't good at all and if you watch the whole thing, I dont know. You stink. But here this just goes to show what kind of nonsense is on the internet. Ugh. its so stupid, but whatever I'll post it anyway
Ok enough of the nonsense, let's get to the good stuff. If you sift through enough nonsense eventually you'll find gold. And believe me I found gold. lots of it. It started innocently enough. A thumbnail of a chipmunk. But I saw the word dramatic in front of it. of course I'll click on it. This is what I found.
It just keeps repeating and then it's in your brain. Not entirely hilarious on its own. Once every few dramatic turns, you think its funny. Or at least I do. But that's not where the gold is. The gold is in what people did to it. Much like the famous 'star wars kid'. The dramatic chipmunk goes platinum.
Hahah, yes. You see it now. It's luminating brilliance.
Hahaha. Fuck yeah dramatic chipmunk. Is there nothing you can't emphasize dramatically?
Oh god the end of that had me in stitches.
Okay so that's a look into my saturday morning internet searching whilst still laying in bed. And as much as I'd like to continue looking online, listening to pandora, and dicking around. There is an electric griddle downstairs. It has my name all over it. I've got plenty of eggs, fresh baguette, and a whole day to come up with something delicious.
Weekends are nice. Dramatic chipmunks are nicer.
Chedder out

It started just like any other internet search. Started at digg.com and made my way into the interwebs. Then I came across something absurd. Well, a few things absurd. Including some chick saying "look at my tits, look at my tits, look at my tits". Actually you know what, I'm going to show you the highlight reel of the videos I've watched. Ending with the elusive and very stern chipmunk/prairie dog.

I fought the blog
and the blog won.
With that said, I'd like to welcome Nick Soughley to the blogosphere. He too is now fighting the blog.
I have no direction with this entry, some come for a walk with me through more mindspray.
Classes have begun, I've got a heavy semester ahead of me but I will not discuss anything school related. Nobody cares.
So lets walk.
Pandora has become a constant tabbed website for me. I started using it a while ago, stopped, and now I realized it was silly of me to stop. For those who don't know here is what pandora is. You type in songs/artists you like, they play songs that are similar. Free radio that you vote on (thumbs up/down). They play shit according to your tastes.
Speaking of all things enjoyable and unenjoyable. Apple. Apple products. Steve Jobs. iLife. But more like iLoseMoneyBecauseTheKeynoteSucked and iReallyThinComputerButWhoReallyCares. Okay okay I realize not all of you follow technology, and probably asked "wait, whats a blog" before you started reading mine or hydes' or roys. So I'll fill you in.
Apple makes hot products, and their stock gets really beefed up. (We all have iPods. iPhones FTW) The keynote is where Jobs (you know, runs Apple) comes out and sings the tune for what this year will bring. This year there was a lot of excitement pre-keynote. So I bought some stock hoping to make a quick buck.
The keynote sucked. I lost money.
But it's ok because its not like I was counting on that money to eat breathe or have sex. So we're in the clear. But I shake my fist a little at apple.
Have you seen the new MacBook Air? Yeah, it's really thin. But it also costs a shit load of money and kind of sucks.
Lets keep walking, and lets make sure we litter in the room we just left (apple discussion).
You know whats weird? I've been finding a pretty substantial amount of belly button lint in my belly button lately. I shower everyday and its not like I'm hanging out in dryers or anything. Where is all this lint coming from? I'll find a nice clump chilling in my belly button once every so often.
You know what else is weird? I kind of like finding it. That is to say, I've checked around in there and not found stuff and been disappointed.
Ok, lets move.
Having a bike is a lot better than not having one. I go so much faster than humans sans transportation devices. I'd like to race a segway-er. I can even bike in the road, with the cars. I can bike on grass sidewalks and snow. I have a little bell that I like to ring at people.
Actually lets talk about that for a second. I was coming up behind a chick and I thought I'd give the bell a whirl. So I went far to the left, figuring that she could figure out which side I wanted her to move to. DING DING!
She panicked man. Really thought I was trying to kill her. If I wanted to kill her, I clearly wouldn't have warned her of my intentions via bell.
Pressing forward.
Start showering at night. Just do it once or twice. Honestly, its a lot better than showering in the morning. For one, if you aren't someone who brushes your teeth regularly at night then you are forced to feel guilty for not doing it if you are showering anyway. How can your whole body be clean but not your teeth? Impossible. Also, you get to feel so clean going to sleep. And when you wake up you can just have coffee and go to class.
Sure, you might say, "but showering in the morning wakes me up". So what. Looking at things, having to walk around and not hit things, listening to noise, and being concious also wakes you up.
Ok, its been nice walking with you through my drivel-palooza. I'm going to drop you off now.

The art of the blog
Throughout an average day I'll have 850,000 thoughts. Some of them are worthless, while some are entertaining. The art of the blog is remembering the ones that are mildly amusing so that you can try and re-think them later. This is no easy task and I'm not good at it. That's why I'm usually, except for blogposts when I'm telling a story, just letting my thoughts wander, hoping to hit a few gems.
I mention this because I checked my notepad just now, vaguely remembering typing something in while intoxicated. I remember typing it in with the intention of writing about it so that you could all share my thoughts. Here is what it read.
"Peeing while flushing
Pats ill"
End quote.
So, without further adou, I will attempt to share with you the thoughts that I had on saturday night, when I drank more than I wanted to and woke up at about 640am on my friends couch.
Section 1: Peeing while flushing.
I remember admiring the fact that when I urinate, the stream is very efficient. Granted its not perfect, the stream seems to attempt a helical maneuver (actually its a double helix i think). In fact, it accomplishes it for at least two full rotations. Okay, one and a half. But the point is that my body is smarter than I am. It was probably doing that since I first began to pee. Now I have the ability to aim it at whatever I please. Write things in snow (although by the last few letters I usually run out of 'ink'). And most importantly, pee while walking.
For all these reasons,
1) helical stream (which leads to peelympics in the bathroom "how far can I walk back and still not hit rim?").
2) legibility of urine
3) dynamic urinary translocation capabilities
Males are not only superior but also more efficient in waste removal.
Also, I assume I probably jumped the gun and pressed the flush mechanism on the toilet before I was done, hence the thought and subsequent typage into phone. Its all very tricky because suddenly it becomes a game. Can I get it all out before the water leaves? Its a race against the clock. Plus not all toilets are set to the same difficulty. Sometimes it flies down, sometimes it takes its time (and maybe you need to hold the handle jig to make it complete the drainage).
Moral of section 1? Be glad you pee in a helix. Now test your skills, live on the edge, and flush before you finish.
Section 2: Pats are ill.
I don't watch sports. I don't really care who wins. Ever. But you know what I do like? Watching humans get incredibly ill at things. And i'm telling you, the patriots got ILL on saturday. like ridiculous. Brady faked that one hand off to jabroni and then passed it to guydude. It was flawless. It looked perfect. And then that guy who caught the ball with one hand? It honestly looked like madden. Like once the ball got into a certain area the computer called it a catch and it just sort of moved exactly into place unrealistically. Except it was real. And it was ill.
So I like sports, kind of. I like how awesome they are at doing stuff. But I dont really care about the red sox winning or the patriots breaking records. It's cool, and congratulations to those who care. But i'm in it for the ridiculously talented superhuman capabililties. Too good.
Moral of section two? I may not know the stats of this guy and know in what year that dude did this. I may cheer for the wrong team if they do something cool. But everytime I actually take the time to watch a professional sport, I am really impressed and entertained by how awesome they are, and I'll comment on it like its the first time ive ever watched sports. You'll think I'm a n00b. But you don't know how to even use bittorrent so blow me.

Sober post, thoughtspam
Now I'd like to commend davesplat on filling me in on megaupload. Google some album, type megaupload next to it. Presto! 500 kb/s album in my back pocket.
Not bad. I still kind of prefer bittorrent. It makes me feel like more of a h4x0r. It has such a sweet name, too. BitTorrent. To the uninitiated it sounds so nerdy. Love geekdom.
Let me fill you in a bit. I'm just about to make my move up to vermont. Break is over. They go by fast, days. They go by real fast. Tully came and left, hyde left, santa dropped off some shit and peaced. Break is over and I'm going back. Back to class, back to school, back to my apartment, and back to a schedule.
Did I accomplish everything I wanted to over break? No, certainly not. But I had a pretty fun party, made a nice sandwich platter, went to the gym often, and brought my mind back onto a pretty nice level. I saw AVP-r and it kicked ass. I ate about 10 chicken cesar salad wraps.
You know when you get a craving for something? Maybe its a reeses peanut butter cup or maybe its clam chowder. Well for me, right now, its chicken cesar wraps. I've had one everyday for the past 6 days I think. All from different places and today I'm making my own. It's certainly a fiendish activity.. I don't know how long it can go on for. But damnit they are so delicious, it could be a while.
Listening to bob dylan.
Also, I'd like to welcome Al and CresceNet to the blog. Thanks for commenting, we're glad to have you. And by we I mean me.
I'll probably post a casual encounter ad and see what I get. I'm inviting problems, though. I'm almost guaranteed to get at least a few pictures of penises, so I'm a little hesitant to start the social experiment. Not sure where in my schedule I can free up some time for "4pm, Sift through emails of digital genitalia". We'll see. Maybe I can ask for ridiculous pictures like, "please, send pictures that include stuffed animals if you expect a response"
That will be interesting for sure.
Oh and I just started reading Wired magazine. I've been to the website a good amount, but damn thats a really good magazine. I like it a lot. Lots of neat stuff. Actually, I stole an issue from the gym the other day because it had such a good list in it. I'll post from it, but its in the car right now so you'll have to wait.
Alright, that was some brain fodder so I hope you enjoyed my train of thoughtspam.

deal with this post
deal with this mildly intoxicated post.
So I've been living in marina bay at my parents place for the past few days. They are in Hawaii though. This is loosely translated to me watching tv and walking around naked.
The place is pretty clean and I make about an omelette a day. I only have like 10 channels though, only the 200's. Which is loosely translated to me watching The OC season one two episodes a day. The good news is I really like it and watched some episodes on joox.net. Please, tell me you go to that website.
You dont? Well not only are you ill informed, but you are also lame. Joox.net is so money that you might as well trade in everything you have in your wallet in place of putting that on your bookmark list.
Check it out.
So tonight I decided I would check out some bars nearby. Good news is that they are about 45 seconds west. Or east. In fact I have no idea what heading they are but they are most definitely "that way". Anyway I got a cheeseburger from one place called "fishbones" and I asked for it medium. The chick gave me medium rare like a jerk and I told her I didnt like it but ate it anyway. After all, she gave me honey mustard sauce. And a newspaper. So I can't complain.
I tipped her 5 bucks and made her a paper rose. Paper roses = awesomeness and props from everyone around you instantly. Learn how to make them and give htem away to everyone you can. Spread the love. Its great.
On airplanes you can get free snacks, meals, drinks, peanuts, and accessories (including headphones and blankets)
Hyde is in spain. Wanna know why thats cool? Because I'm alone walking around naked in quincy, ma. wait.
Dave hyde is excellent.
I didn't mean to put that so close to the sentence about me being naked but you should just deal with it. Also, you should probably consider watching Star Wars again. You've never seen star wars??? Thats weird, you should press alt+f4 or apple+q if you havent. I heard that helps.
Also, you should consider going to www.vcdquality.com and checking out what the pirates have to offer.
Listening to daft punk.
Ok. I kind of sort of not really half apologize for not posting in such a long time. But its hard living alone. You know i've spent more time looking at craigslist than i have spent checking my email or doing the dishes? Craigslist is so ridiculous, you should read some of the shit on there. I debated posting a ridiculous W4M (woman for man) and then pasting all the ridiculous responses i got.
You'd be surprised how much ridiculous shit is going on around us. Unsane. ill credible.
Eat this post. Put sauce on it. Dip it in honey mustard and go burn off the weight after.
This post is made to make your brain hurt. Too bad.
