links

these are really good links

Art Strikes Back: art inspired by Star Wars. some great pieces. Jeff went to the show today and told me i have to go. i definitely should.

Selling Bernie Madoff's belongings: gallery of all the houses and stuff and boats owned by Bernie Madoff. apparently he was obsessed with the image of a bull. even his boat was called "BULL"

yeah i'm hanging out in Brighton. watched football today, watching some celtics and bruins now, not sure if im gonna stay for boxing though.

everything's going pretty well. haven't gone to the gym in a couple weeks tho, so i gotta work on that.

rainy today. went to the bc dartmouth basketball game last night with jeff was a lot of fun, even if a couple of the bc players were suspended for it (grrr). but fun nonetheless, good student turnout too.

aright now im home. gonna watch some celtics and fool around with the ps3 (the netflix ps3 app disc arrived in the mail today, instant queue here we come...)

unclear

Here is a post composed in microsoft word. Notice that some of the words have capitals. It is actually easier to read this way, hence a very good reason to continue composing posts in microsoft word. See, we’re making progress here!

Also when I write a lot in microsoft word it doesn’t look like a lot, unlike when I am writing in blogger. So I’m motivated to type and write more. This could work…


Ok well I need to figure out how to be more creative. Honestly I can just ramble all day and type nonsense but I’m not really sure what the point of it is.

Lemme get back to you

a very spooky halloween

yo how's it going.

i'm going to try to be less boring.

it starts now. i have a recommendation for you. fogdog.com (that is all)

sun's going down pretty early now. daylight savings time was cool tho, getting a whole fresh hour in the middle of the night.

i should start composing quality posts in word then publishing them. i think im gonna go do that right now actually.

oh yeah i remembered that drew called me out for not posting any links. after, this is a blog about impressive things. what's impressive about talking about your day and what you did yesterday?

you want links?

i got links...

exploding dog (online comic where the guy makes comics based on what people write in to him)

Top 100 Essential Mac Applications (lot of good shareware ideas in here. good stuff)

LEXIA TO PERPLEXIA [Talan Memmott] (this was impressive maybe 10 years ago. now it just doesnt even work. shows how far the internet has come, as well as the post-modern)

aright i've had those links for a long time. i havent really been posting any new or exciting stuff that i've been finding recently. lemme try to get something.

how about just fark? im gonna add it to the internet. fark's great.

callin me ouuuut

sup yall. drew called me out last night for dropping the ball on the blog and i was like hey drew at least it's still on the train.

so i'm gonna try and rally. just sittin here eatin the daily banana and drinking water. i lost the top to my water bottle at chriss party a couple weekends ago, so im now im strictly a no-water-bottle-cap-drinking kinda guy.

dolphins jets is on tv. revs playoff game is on tv too. recording it. celtics game is on at 6pm. no pats game today (bye).

went to lukes halloween party last night. originally it was dangela/bens party, but then they moved. but it was fun. i was there super late. its really close by. one of my friends moved really close to me, so it was easy to carpool.

the bc central michigan game yesterday was pretty good. fun to watch. the rest of the season should be interesting.

ok, ill cya later.

i had to steal this photo cause i thought it was so cool. thanks Rebecca!

Happy Halloween!

sup readers. how's it going. just dropping in to say what's up. it's a shame i don't write more, but at least i'm aware of it! i probably shouldn't waste so much (of your) time talking about writing quantity, but it's honestly something that i think about.

ok, went to the dartmouth harvard football game today with my dad. we tailgated for about 20 minutes in the sweet budweiser camping chairs that i won (i entered some contest, won a chair, then changed my address and so they just sent one to both addresses). drank a little and ate a little and rolled in, sat in my awesome crazy creeks and cheered for dartmouth but left when the score got a little out of control

saw a dartmouth guy get thrown out by harvard police, what gives? haha. then we walked across the street and watched the last 5 minutes of the harvard dartmouth soccer game before bouncing. the drunk guy that had gotten thrown out showed up and proclaimed what had just happened and it was funny and we verified it. haha im rambling but whatevaaaa

it's warm outside, almost 70 degrees, humid. im chillin. partying tonight. yeahhhhh

k later

vexation of spirit

from ecclesiastes...

on sunday i finally got out of town. thank god for ambitious friends. went with some buddies apple picking in northboro at tougas farm. success. it was the last day of the season. we drove out there, picked a half bushel, ate a ton of apples, stuffed ourselves with apple cider donuts, kettle corn, and delicious apple cider, bought an apple crisp, watched the sunset, and drove home.

a lovely day and it was good to get away.

my own hibernation starts today -- its basketball season. already i am structuring my social life around celtics games. this is NOT good. it's happening too soon. i need to somehow meet in the middle.

so yeah, the next 6-7 months i just need to be aware of what i am doing and conscious of it and comfortable in it. see, its a big deal!

ok. have fun watching the celtics. i will be :) cya, go boston, D

Saturday, October 24, 2009

hello

hi how's it going. i'm hanging out. it's kind of a grey day outside, but its cool. im watcing some football, rooting for uconn (such a sad story).

bc notre dame game is on in 25 minutes. that will be fun to watch. kane and chris and i are making squash soup with a parsnip and some potatoes and stuff. it looks like its gonna be good.

im feeling a little tired but alls well. oh yeah get this --

on tuesday i got on the highway to go somewhere. i realized that i hadnt been on the highway in a couple weeks, i really couldnt remember the last time i had been on the highway.

for the last couple weeks i had been in a routine where i wasnt going to many places and was always going to my folks place to get on the rowing machine and then just going home. and i guess i didnt really go on any trips outta town.

ive pretty much been staying in my own little triangle here, and havent needed to go many places far away. i do think i should start exploring the area a bit more tho, and go on some fun field trips.

not driving on highways made me realize how localized ive become. luckily ive scheduled a trip to los angeles from dec 4 - 11, so at least i have a good trip somewhere far away to look forward to.

i'm also planning on going up to vermont and new hampshire at some point in the next couple of months, maybe even a couple times.

basketball season starts tuesday. i will finally start hanging out in my room upstairs and make it the basketball haven. should be interesting, i hope its not too cold up there.

wow i wrote some. ok talk to you soon, D

hey im home and tired and happy from a good weekend of rowing. we had a good row in the alumni eight yesterday, but only placed 18th out of 34 crews. this was my first time being in an age adjusted handicapped race, and now i understand the challenges.

still, a good race. ill blog more later.

AN ANOMALOUS EARLY SEASON WINTER WEATHER EVENT IS UNDERWAY ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS A NOREASTER CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET. LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SLEET




Thursday, October 15, 2009

hey

hey what's up man i wish i was making more time to write oh well. head of the charles is in two days. after that i will have more time.

the weather is supposed to be nasty this weekend. im hoping it isnt but im preparing for the worst. i've rowed in nearly unrowable conditions a couple times, so i think ill be alright. i just hope that people show up and that it's not too cold. or windy. or rainy.

i am listening to Quantic & His Combo Bárbaro. recommended!

Saturday, October 10, 2009

yo

yo lemme just get in one here before the game starts. its a nice day outside and its warm! i hear birds chirping, alls well. so far ive vacuumed, cleaned the rug, and cleaning up the place. feeling pretty good about everything.

had to write a post that didnt have a bc photo, so here it is. i found this photo a while ago, thought it was pretty cool

i got a lil bit of a headache but i think itll go away, no big deal.

one week til head of the charles. im really excited. i dont think ive ever felt this way before a race -- just so amped. i guess i used to be nervous before races, but now i just wanna go out and have a good time.

aright i gotta eat some eggs and toast. later.

Thursday, October 08, 2009

october 17th, 11am, come out and watch me!

its the best weekend of the year.

but yeah stuff is good. im just trying to be responsible, get sleep, be the man, be productive, etc. yeah. theres a lot going on. im going to california in december, pretty excited about that

ok ill talk to you soon.

Sunday, October 04, 2009

hey

hey how's it going? boston college beat florida state today. it was a great game. except that bc only attempted two passes in the 3rd quarter. you need to stop playing not to lose! but it was a really good game and the coaches and players should be very happy. good times.

got a haircut today, went to whole foods, watched a ton of football. went to the 24 hour cvs, hung out, might play the ps3 a little bit.

sun's out...oh wait no it's not

malator...lol

i even did a load of laundry today. i've learned the strategy with me and laundry -- to ensure that i wash, dry and fold the same load of laundry in the same day i have to only do ONE load per day. but it works. yahhh

ive got my weight at 200 but im gonna try to lose a couple pounds of beer by head of the charles (two weeks). i'm feeling good and fit but i've been pretty reckless about eating so i gotta be a little more careful here these next two weeks

but it looks like it might be 70 and sunny tmrw. wha?!?!

aright i'm havin a good time ill talk to you soon

all types

hey boy it's getting harder and harder to keep on blogging!

but i guess i'll just keep on trying. here's a photo of ray allen.

i feel very QUOTIDIAN. and i feel like the things i am now saying on here are very QUOTIDIAN. but i am still going to say them. because, after all, what is life without the QUOTIDIAN?

been watching football and rowing and playing basketball. all good things. mostly getting enough sleep. trying to be productive, getting stuff done.

yeah. there's still not enough time to do everything that i'd like, but that's ok. i'm just trying to stay positive and take care of things. like laundry! always, freakin, laundry.

ate food from coast cafe last night, which was really good. fried chicken and pork chops, candied yams, rice, collared greens, mac + cheese. yummy.

man i can put away the food. plates and plates of the stuff. sheesh!

aright well i gotta get rollin, hopefully ill get back on here soon.

oh yeah and Drew -- we haven't hung out in a while. let's hang out soon. peace.

Sunday, September 27, 2009

yo

yo whats up cant really talk but i went to the bc game yesterday and they won. then the patriots won today. it was awesome.

weather was really nice yesterday. clear, pretty warm. the stadium was packed, 40000 people. and i just found out that college gameday is coming to bc next weekend. pretty cool!

it was rainy today, and i watched the pats with chris, kane, and rob. good times. set up joshs xbox afterwards and played some bioshock. also crushed a little call of duty today. cant wait for the new call of duty to come out! also gonna get a ps3 this week hopefully, that should be awesome

yup. head of the charles is 3 weeks away. gotta get in shape!

talk to you soon.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

i don't use punctuation punctuation uses ME

yeah that doesnt make sense. but whatever. hey whats up im hanging out. just tryin to get my posts in whenever possible. its warm outside. some might say UNSEASONABLY warm. what's that about? the weather is trying to make up for june. because june stunk. we know this.

yeah. so i was erging tonight and the monitor stopped working. simply put -- DEVASTATING. i replaced the batteries and that didnt work. the ergometer is a rowing machine. i think erg means energy. so yeah, its completely misleading. i think the idea is that ROWING takes an enormous amount of ENERGY. kinda.

so yeah im gonna google it and try to fix it. it stinks tho. ive still gotta get in shape for head of the charles. you should definitely come watch me at head of the charles if you can. its like my favorite weekend.

yup. aright there's stuff going on, i wanna talk about things, but im gonna leave it at that. there's a lotta life to go around. i just wanted to say hi to my friends, and i guess hi to the people that read this that i dont know. so, hi!

i hope you have a good one.

thanks netflix!



wow, thanks for the recommendation netflix! i'm so glad you figured out what i've been trying to convey to people my whole life -- i love critically-acclaimed dark australian movies! yes! it's about time you figured that out! certainly took long enough!

i mean, it's obvious that i don't care for dark australian movies that arent critically received well. that's no mystery.

ok ill stop. i just like the sub-sub-sub-genre. gotta respect that. the contextual relevance of it though just threw me off.

yeah bc lost today it stunk. but the pats play tmrw, woooo!

aright gotta stay productive later
