Chinese Men...and snow

First of all, this is too funny for words. Hannah, I think you especially will get a kick out of this. In my dorm room, I'm the guy in the background. All I have to say is I hurt after watching this.


The show is falling in Berea and the finals a wrapping up. I feel pretty confident about them personally. Guess what? Sarabeth and I took this picture from the second story window of my dorm. Funny story that goes with. My camera has only a 10 second timer, so after I focused it, I booked it down the stairs. I heard something but didn't think anything of it as I flew into the blustery cold. We looked up at the camera, saw the flash and I immediately dashed back to the door thinking, "I bet I dropped my keys." Alas, I must improve my dashing skills. For inside the door sat my keys until I called my roomy who let us in. It's the small stuff that makes a night.

Awkward IM Moment of the Week

Another weekend of life

What a great time. Friday, I spent some awesome time hanging out with oh, the coolest people in the universe. Tim, Kev, Claire, Terry, Diana, the marvelous and talented Sarabeth and I watched Sin City. I must confess, it was a pleasure having Tim on board because he was able to cue us in for the “avert-alerts” for the 2 nud scenes. We had originally planned to watch it at Tim’s house but since there were so many of us, Tim’s dad got kind of scared and told us all to go away. This is acceptable, because it was his birthday. This brought to mind a fabulous idea. Throw a surprise party for someone and arrange for all the party guests to be people that the birthday boy doesn’t know. That would be a true surprise party. We then went to Claire’s house, because she lives right down the street.

Saturday morning I spent in my bed, till about noon when I went swimming with my little bro. Afterwards we went to Applebees with some friends. From here I ventured to the house of the Vollerman. After a few well matched (Chad never loses) chess games and painting some window sills, we eventually made our way over to the Andrews. We were going to watch a movie but we just ended up talking and playing with the dog. After Chad left at 9:00 for his old man bedtime and Hannah had passed out on the floor cuddled up with Rory, the men went to work. Oh yes, working till late into the morning were Joe and Luke, slaving like madmen over the BNYC video. We discovered by way of pictures that Luke needs to be more adament about posture while editing video. Pretty smelling candles...mmmm....saving grace...

This weekend I said goodbye to my little brother for the first time ever, really if you think about it. He’s in the air force right now and is at this moment actually traveling towards Texas for his basic training. He is going into the linguistics program, so he’ll know how to speak either Korean or Arabic. Probably Arabic he thinks. So Sunday morning in church was a touching time, as he said goodbye to friends, church family and real family. I salute you brother.

Then Sunday night came which meant the first A Cappella Fellas gig of the year. We actually had about 60 people show up, which was amazing seeing as how the Browns Steelers game was on. I thought we had a great gig, especially since I got to embarrass and sing to Sarabeth in front of everyone. After the applause and teardown, myself, SB, Chris and Reggie retreated to Euchre. This was followed by a late showing of Groundhog Day which Sarabeth has now seen.








It’s weekends like these that let you know you’re alive.

Stared and startled

As usual this morning I was woken by my roommate kicking the bottom of my bed (as opposed to normal humans that have the luxury of actually hearing their alarm clock). Normally I would snooze the alarm clock, roll over and enjoy the next 10 minutes of peace. This morning was different. Something absolutely amazed me about the alarm clock. I hit the snooze, turned over and stared at the electronic waking device. I marveled at its purpose and thanked it for every moment it granted me silence. I stared at the impossibly slow changing digital numbers until the sound it emitted startled me beyond understanding, as only a true non-morning person can understand. Quite interesting is the human mind. Makes me wonder if mine is broken.
