I Forgot I Even Had This…

 

It has actually been so long since I last blogged, that I didn’t even remember that I had one. Thank you google bookmarks.

I guess updating people on my life got short shafted for studying and running. Now that I finally got my lungs working….well kind of, not to the point I’d like, but they are getting there…the little free time I had was consumed by running. My schedule was some combination of eat, study, run, sleep and not always in that order and sometimes missing the eating or sleeping part. Now I am finally a free man and quite honestly that feels weird. I am used to always having to do something, so I’ve just been unwinding for a while. I don’t start work until the 2nd so I have some down time.

Like I said earlier, I getting my body back together, will run with my club this summer, and should be back in shape in no time flat. Its just going to hurt, a lot, but my mind conquered my body a long time ago.

Friend are great, I’m actually in NYC right now visiting a few, shout out to Pierre Lax for letting me sleep on his floor two nights in a row, and for some reason its gets more comfortable every time. Going to bed before 6 AM is overrated.

This summer is going to be a great opportunity. Got some serious learning to do. I’ve finally got some time now, so all of you who I have neglected to contact, hit me up, I’m sorry.

WOW

 

Yes its really been that long, but I’m back like I never left. And yes I actually did leave. I haven’t had time to do anything but study lately. This is actually coming out of the hour I give myself for lunch everyday. Other than that I have no free time in my study schedule. If you want to see it in all its glory, shoot me an email at eaglehost4@hotmail.com

The only thing I do other than Study or Eat is Track Practice, and if I didn’t do that I would go crazy. I need something to relieve stress, and running is always the best way.

So if I haven’t talked to you in a while, its because I've been really busy trying to get the most out of this education. Hit me up sometime, and when my life gets sorted out, and I have free time, we can hang out. I actually had to withdraw from a class and take it again next year, so I can focus on my remaining 3.5 classes and try to grind them out. I study at least 6 hours a day, not including class time.

Overall its a good experience, and I’m continuing to learn and grow. Just make sure if your going to do something, you don't half ass it, go full throttle.

See y’all in a month! (May 7th)

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.
