Enter the Age of the Internet Stalker

 

I’m pretty sure that we are supposed to be in the Information Age. Or something like that. It should probably be called the Too Much Information Age (TMI). In this era of internet lingo (lol?), Facebook (Crackbook), Twitter (firstsandwich), Blogs (reubenhurricane.blogspot.com), FormSpring (Reubz), and MySpace(naw we OffThat), our lives are even more accessible than ever before. Now while there are a few of us who just use the internet as a networking tool, there are others who lay bare their entire lives before the world, including that guy in this picture and, for a lack of better words, put shit out there that shouldn’t be on there.

C’mon people get with the program, its time that you saw these tools for what they are, handshakes. They just simply allow you to meet people that you otherwise might not meet and get to know them, so that you can have an actual relationship with them, one that doesn’t take place on the internet.

Now people, let me get back to work on this glorious two day vacation as I get ready to ace this bio exam. Sledding at the Art Museum was a blast though.

Right On Schedule

 

Ode to Google Calendar

I love you Google Calendar. I really do. I use you to make my study schedule, where my whole day from 7AM-11:30PM is planned out. I even put in time for eating, sleeping, partying, and just procrastinating into you (though only in limited amounts). I can even print you out and edit you on the fly. You remind me of everything. Thanks to you I will get a 4.0 this semester.

Shootem’ High, Hitem’ Low

May be he was just trying to pick his nose. Maybe he was committing a 15-yard personal foul. Maybe the refs missed the other call where Rodgers was smashed in the helmet with the helmet of Bernard and had his head wrenched. Who really knows.

Regardless it was a great game. As a Packers fan it ripped my heart out and smashed it into a million pieces, as our #2 ranked defense was torn asunder and our franchise QB missed the game winning throw in an all time performance.

“I See You”

I guess it been a while. Been too busy relaxing. Or rather that's what I’d like to think. The closest I get to relaxing is having some quality to time to think to myself. When you've got no one you can be completely honest with, its nice to have a real heart to hear with yourself. The only downside to this of course is that no one really understands how you feel but yourself, so when others make judgments, they tend to be slightly off, or really really off. Can’t really blame them I guess, bad information. Ironically, if you give them all the information, sometimes the judgments they make are worse. Silence is golden.

One of the best part about college really is the break. The fact that you can take a break, and not to have worry about some midterm you have to take after. Unless of course you have to spend time working to pay for college and making sure you have a job for next semester, but its good to stay busy I guess.

People always like to tell me of all these exotic locations they went to relax. I've found that relaxation is a state of mind, rather than an actual place. You can go to any resort in the world, but if your minds not at ease it useless. Here’s my relaxation song, maybe it can help you too:

Guess all I needed was some peace and quiet. I've got some work to do starting Jan 13th. Not really impressed with my grades, you shouldn't be either. Haven't even seen most of the final grades, but despite my learning most of the information, its what you can prove that you learned on the tests that matters. Doesn't help that some professors like to take power trips with your education, but that just an obstacle I’ll have to overcome.

So you want to see my vacation, my relaxation, feast your eyes on this: The Best Show On Earth

More to come. Ill be more steady in the future.

Se Me Olvido

So I had at least three inspirations to write a blog post, but by the time I got to my computer the inspiration was gone. Sorry people. Its my belief that you should only blog if you have something to say, not just do it for the sake of writing it.

Something We Can All Be Thankful For

 

So me and my family drove up to Boston for Thanksgiving. 6 hours and 55 minutes into our 7 hour trip, as we are cruising (well under the speed limit mind you) down the main street, another car suddenly darts out in front of us leaving me only enough time to grab the door handle to brace myself, turn my head to look at my mom who’s driving, and think “awww f#$k” before we smash into the other car. The airbags instantly deploy. I sit there for a second, looking at them, as I had never seen one before this, then open the door and get out the car. No one in our car was hurt, though the fate of the other driver is at this point unknown, though it appears she was having some problems of her own.

When it first happened, I though nothing of it, I just calm walked around, unloaded the car, taking care to save what was left of the candied yams that had spilled during the crash (yes I still ate them, yes they were still good). 5 hours later I got to thinking, “wow, I could have legit just dies” but the though didn't really have any impact because it didn't actually happen and you know how we humans suck at imaging our deaths, because you cant imagine yourself being in a state where you cant imagine anything (if that makes any sense to you).

But like I said, here is something we can all be thankful for:
