Dane's date

Well, I finally made it onto this thing, nobody invited me for a while so i guess i struck out ebfore i even got up to bat... which interestingly enough, that is what happens to me when I actually play baseball...

just thought i would report on the date, so all you fools know what's going on. He name is Malori and my uncle set us up. She is really cool, and funny, but has a laugh and voice that i swear is the exact same as gretchen's. it was uncanny I kept looking to see if she had that mission impossible voice thing on her neck.

josh, she lived in chile for a while and speaks sweety spanish, so if you would want to take her out...gimmie a holla.

holla

video man Josh

I would like to point out that the old biddies shut Josh down today. He comes in to the office to film me while I am working, and one of them says, "what's going on here?" "Oh, I am making a piece about the greatness of the education department and all the education majors here." "has Linda approved it?" "Umm, Linda?"

Women and Baseball

Nat: yes sir
she said the people at the health center said it was strep
"i was going to call last night but I wanted to wait until morning to see if I feel better, and I dont..."
4:48 PM me: wow, she went to the health center? she must have been feeling pretty crappy
or pretty streppy
she texted to cancel?
Nat: yes
sent 3
and then some
after i responded
4:49 PM i asked her what she had planned for the weekend: "Sleeping and or dying"
me: so be it
Nat: yup
she said "i hope you aren't mad!!"
4:50 PM i said, "well, we'll count this as a ball rather than a strike"
me: doesnt make sense
you could have just said, "relax, it's only your first strike"
do you even know how baseball works Nat?
4:51 PM Nat: yes i do
i know it doesnt work perfect
the analogy
b/c a ball is the pitchers fault
and i am not at fault here
me: luckily she knows bumpkis about baseball
4:52 PM Nat: but it works in the sense that she's not in a condition to swing the bat so we'll let her slide
yeah i am lucky there
me: you only slide when you're going to second, third or home. There is no reason to slide when she's not even running for first
4:53 PM Nat: ok ok when i just said slide i didnt mean it in baseball terms
me: if she's in no condition to swing the bat, then she should be benched
you should have just said, "just sit this inning out then"
Nat: she is benched until she gets better
ok, Josh, you are a master of the analogy
i should have consulted with you
, master
4:54 PM me: it doesn't matter...maybe you two are more compatible than I give you credit for
Nat: i will make no predictions
4:55 PM me: yeah, when you make predictions, you get letters telling you that you're a "nutcase"
Nat: haha
me: when the correct term should be "crackerjack box" or "a bag of sunflower seeds"
Nat: well, you've got to learn to make good predicitions
4:57 PM Nat: to know when it's time to pull the pitcher and put in the closer
4:58 PM me: hang on, none of us is the pitcher
when I said she struck out, it doesn't mean I was pitching
nor did it mean that you were pitching during your little "ball" aside
4:59 PM Nat: so who is the pitcher?
me: no pitching nor closing is done by any of us
me: there really isn't pitching, because nobody is trying to make anyone strike out
it's more like tee-ball
Nat: hahaha
that's true
me: the only reason why someone would strike out is if they were a. intending to, or b. retarded

Def Leppard

Alright, after much consideration and brainstorming and pondering and laborious thinking and sleepless, sweaty nights thinking about the future of our basketball team, I think I may have come up with a solution.  As everyone should know, the rules pretty clearly say that what we are planning on doing is not going to go over very well with the intramural office.  Here are some possible solutions to that:
1.  We do our crazy thang the first game, and most likely they pull us into the main offices, tell us to stop and we play serious the rest of the season.
2.  We play serious the whole season and the last game we go buck wild and even if they have a probelm, they can't kick us out.
3.  My personal favorite, is that we play serious the whole season, but ever 6 points or so we score in the game, we pull out a play.  That way they can't be mad at us for not taking it serious or playing hard, and we get to use our awesome plays.  

Anyway, let me know what you think.

corollary to Facebook Fast

I challenge all Elitists to see who can go the longest in refraining from facebook use.

It turns out that 33%+ of my study time is used on facebook. Since I have gone a full week without doing any homework, it behooveth me (and anyone else who is so addicted) to boycott facebook if only for a week.

Winner gets power and prestige.

Who's in?

FACEBOOK FAST

Gentlemen, I have started a weeklong facebook fast. I will not log in to facebook no matter what for the next 168 hours. If you do anything to my wall, or send me any messages, I will be forced to look at the email the facebook sends me, and then ignore it.

I think I can do it.

P.S. I totally forgot that we went on that canoe trip by moonlight. We need to get those pictures out in the open before I forget that timeless event again. Remember when our canoe got stuck and Nat had to get out and drag our canoe through the ice water? Yeah, that was pretty rough. Then we saw a flock of Moosen in the woodsen.

woozle wozzle.
