Before and After

Here's a little before and after I've pulled from facebook. When I see this posted it surprised even me. The after photo was taken in the middle of June.

I've become that guy.

I saw a movie trailer the other day, and at the end they didn't have a release date. All it said was "President's Day." That's all fine and dandy, but then I sat there and thought to myself, what day is that? And only to realize that due chiefly to the effects of pop culture, I know MLK day's date, but not President's Day. Not that I think that MLK was insignificant, but banks and schools are closed that day; whereas all of our past Commander-in-Chiefs obviously wanted us to buy furniture. In the larger picture, isn't President's Day more significant simply because we are celebrating 44 men who held office versus one man who challenged the status quo?

Six word memoirs

This is an interesting excercise. Try to convey your story in 6 words. It was started by Hemingway and is now more or less popular. http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/

Thank you Tom Waits for this one, "Gamblers re-evaluate along the dotted line."

The Collegiate Brewer

This is the website that has had me consumed for a good part of the semester. It is finally polished off enough to give you the URL http://akral1.wordpress.com/

Leave comments back here as that site does not allow for them.

Found this picture advertising a party in town this weekend. Instantly started laughing. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. Then I started laughing at myself, and then I peed a little. Speaking of laughing til you pee, if you haven't seen The Hangover, I am bringing it home to watch.

Oh yeah...here's the picture that set this whole thing off.

3PM high

I became intensely aware of my own mortality this week. I am now 22, and statistically most people do not make it out of the double digits. If this thought has not yet crossed your mind, think about it. There is your random thought for the day.
