Reuben Hampton: Most Likely to be self proclaimed master of everything.

Does that sound funny to you? Yeah me neither.

That was my “Most Likely To” in my  high school yearbook. It’s clearly wrong. Because I am master of everything…yes I’m actually being facetious, but to make that come true, I have to go back and start practicing one of my favorite sports, golf.

Back in the day I used to play a lot, took lessons as a child and at one point had a pretty decent swing (Driver 280-290), but ,as I lost time and interest, my muscle memory faded. Now that I have a little more time, a lot more interest (I want to be able to play with my friends), it’s time to get my act together.

The only good driving range around Philly that isn’t part of a country club is Tee's. You can find me there, or in my backyard just working on form. If anyone is interested in joining, hit me up and we can make moves. I’m trying to get back in form before I have to play with a one Mr. Magee, so I don’t make a fool of myself. Happy Trails!

why haven't you blogged in a while? it's the funniest shit on the internet

It's funny that you ask. I was actually just about to post. I haven't had time, been working 40+ hours a week.

Ask me anything

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. Itwasnicemeetingyouthough.

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.
