Simpler Times, Simpler Minds

We distracted Mrs. Swihart for 35 minutes in Modern Masters today by discussing odd documentaries we like and tv shows (i.e. Destroyed in Seconds, and that new escape artist show on Discovery) that we think are cool. Maybe that class won't be so ridiculous after all. 

Kate broke my favorite glass tonight. It's an POM glass i've had for more than a year. I like POM, but it's too expensive to consume on a regular basis. But on second thought, so is bottled water and nobody has a problem with that.

We started remodeling the basement on saturday. That's pretty cool. Except we don't have a dumpster to put the giant chunks of wood panelling and sheetrock that we'vetorn from the walls. Who needs foresight, I seem to manage alright. Except now our once (as in until Saturday afternoon) clean basement now looks like a bomb has gone off down there. But hey, my room has looked like that for around a semester or so, so who am I to care too much. oh well.

I'll see if I can upload a picture of it. but i prolly won't. We smuggled the dog into Kate's apartment for a little bit. Allison got home and he started barking full voice. Moron.

A little Dave's a little Wedding

Alright, well, first things first. Saturday I went to a bridal expo. yeah. me. I really did. 9 hours worth. ok. 10:30 to 5. 6 1/2 hours. but it felt much more than 9 so rounding up is needed. Our best friend Jenna was there, Plus Maggie (Kate's mom) Aunt Kathy and Aunt Sue (Kate's aunts) and of course the lovely couple of Kate and I. Had it not been for the free food (apart from the raw salmon on cucumber slices) it would have been on the heavy end of unbearable. However, here's a list of things accomplished that otherwise would have taken forever (and much more $)

• Photographer (Kate's #1 priority of the day)
• Reception Location (Top of a tower in Topeka, not saying much, being as it is Topeka, but cool none-the-less)
• DJ (hopefully not a tool, because we found out later that we go to church with the guy, so hopefully he doesn't suck and I have to see him awkwardly afterward)
• Tuxedos (which is a joke because we're not really wearing tuxes, but whatevs)

I also had been thinking, because a lot of the people that work at the most Famous of Dave's are single, and hit on each other...alot. So in the spirit of another famous Dave, I decided to do a countdown of the top Famous Dave's pickup lines that may or may not have been heard while working:

5. You know...I can get all the corn muffins you want

4. Do you like meat?

3. And I thought the ribs were smokin'

2. Wanna see Wilbur?

1. I've got my own kind of sauce, wanna taste test?

ok. those are terrible. I know. Don't be offended. just count to 10 and get over it. it'll all be ok in a moment.

On another note, we have a new President today. that is cool. whether you voted for him or not, it is a pretty exciting time. If he does what he says, makes good on promises, and can withstand the pressures and burdens that are placed on the leader of the free world, then good job. and for the record, race doesn't matter (get over it). Either way, in 4 years, he'll be voted back in, even if he sucks. Which is annoying, because that's the way the American public works (look at the last two...oops nevermind)

What a day

First day of school for the new semester = great, very excited, but only had two classes that started at 1:00 and 2:30 p.m. so a little strange being as my entire college life I've always had classes start at 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. (depending on it being a MWF or TTH schedule of course). But this semester none of my classes start till afternoon. which is aaaaaaaaaawesome.

Very great to see lots of people back, however, I hate coming back from break because everyone always asks the same question and you end up answering it 800 times in the course of 4 hours. So that gets annoying. But alas, tis the last time I have to do it, so bittersweet I suppose.

However, I was very excited to see the majority of my small group guys today. That is always great, and one says he wants to start coming more than he did, and I have a long lost small group guy who hath returned from the Promised Land to cold Kansas and I am very excited to have him back, because I love him. We get mooshy in small group. but that's ok. they like it. 

I think the dog snuck downstairs to lick my shoes. sick. he's gonna die because who knows what disgusting crap is on there. I wouldn't lick my work shoes for a million dollars. ok, yes I would. It's mostly soap and old meat. you'd just get the runs pretty bad, but who gives a crap (no pun intended) cause you're sitting on a cool million (and a toilet for a long time after).

I think that's about all I got for tonight. not very insightful or deep, but who cares, 5 people read this, so it's whatev. I'm going to Royals Fan Fest on Sunday. I'll keep you posted. That's gonna be sweat.

Back again for all you to see

So i was floating around today, looking at stuff, and i realized that I have a sweet blog that has been completely unused. so here's my first post in a while, and I have big plans, so hold me to it, here goes:

• I want to update, at least one post a week
  
• Every couple days during my Senior Integration paper, I want to upload a picture of myself taken while working on it, and put a caption on it, just so you know how my paper is going. I think that will be interesting and fun (thanks Joel Keck for that idea).
• And of course, my own thoughts and opinions on a plethora of topics and subjects. 

Those are my plans for this semester, and of course, I will keep everyone up on wedding stuff cause I know you are all dying to know. So there you go, hope you like it, leave some comments, and enjoy :)

Fer Sher Fer Sher

So here I am. Sitting in class. It's beautiful outside. Getting chilly as the sun goes down. it's absolutely gorgeous. It'd be nice to have my sweatshirt. but i lost it. that is crap. i seriously lost it, i think i left it at school somewhere, if i find someone who's wearing it i'll kill them, but whatever. 

So I'm sitting in leadership class. It's one of those things. I have to sit here. it's required. it's also very lame. 

Today the neighbors got their tree chopped down. Which is good because parts of it fell on our house a couple times, so it's nice to have it gone. But it's sad it had to die. 

Ever notice how some people look like real cartoons. you look at them and think...those are just some odd features, a little characaturist. it's interesting.

We had a senior sunday last night. it was fun. i have a sweat idea for the next one. we'll see if it gets passed. 

I told myself it would be fun to play guitar today. I promptly went home and fell asleep. No guitar.

that's pretty much it.

Video Games and Losing my Religion

Alright, so Bob has this stupid game called "dead rising" and the game is so so dumb. All you do is run around and kill zombies in a shopping mall, there's numerous people to try and save, pictures to take and mysteries to solve. However, when the people you're trying to save have the brain power of a fuzzy jar of mayonnaise, it makes it exceedingly impossible for you to drag and cajole them all across the map to the only safe room in the game.

These people do stupid stupid things, like when you break out a million windows and walk (not jump, not crawl...walk) out of them, and tell the people to follow, no matter what they go to the sliding motion activated door. Which their motion does not open. You have to do it for them. But, they are too slow to go through the door before it closes. So...you have to do all sorts of things to finally get these people out, then once you get them out you have millions of zombies to kill and 3 insane convicts in a truck w/ a gatling gun who are trying to kill you. I have played this scenario no less than 50 times, and I cannot A: save any of the three I am supposed to save or B: Save myself.

This leads me to my next problem. The word Fuck. Now this is a bad word. If you have ever watched the Christmas Story (who hasn't it's on 24 hours on christmas day) it's the "Grandaddy of all curse words, F dash dash dash!" This word is screamed, exploded and growled a minimum of 9 times per session. I have never been so pissed at something so dumb in my entire life. I have screamed so many obscenities, foul names and gibberish curses that by the end of it, my face was hot and I was seeing stars. literally. 

I have vowed to not play this game any more. it's not worth it. I like breathing, and when you are screaming as loud as I do at this stupid thing, it's something i can't do. it's so dang frustrating. However, both roommates, certain small group members and a specific mike otto thinks it's the funniest thing they've ever seen and beg me to play it daily just to see my reaction. which, after 5 minutes, becomes increasingly ridiculous.

Also, my new goal for this semester is to corrupt Michael Otto. he doesn't know this yet. But he's too innocent. Quite frankly it's annoying. So otto...watch out, cause here comes the thunder. i'm gonna have him say piss or something. stretch his horizons.

Also, sorry i used "bad" language in this post. it's used as a literary tool to have you understand the brevity of the situation.
