despite what my lack of entries for the last 5 months may convey to my (thousands of) loyal readers. Just thought I would summarize my summer: mexicans, Morrowind, missions trip, canoe trip (sorry no more alliteration), and Wendy's.
Ok. That should hold you over until my next exciting and witty entry. Enjoy the rest of your summer. That's a command.

Giving into peer pressure,
I have decided to update this sucker.
I forget that once I start doing this, I really enjoy it. I think it’s something like skiing for me as well. I see people ski and all that goes through my head is, “I forget how to stop… I forget how to stop…” etc. But then, once you start doing it, it’s fine. Beside, I know I can ski just fine.
A lot has happened since the 18th of February. The largest event was our trip to Canada. I was a good time with good people. But you must excuse my lack of detail in this account because, quite frankly, I’m tired of talking about it. If you really want to know… talk to me through some other means of communication.
I got a few things off eBay that are pretty sweet. I don’t feel like putting up the links for you here, but I got three John Deere trucker hats, Un “La oreja de Van Gogh” disco compacto, and two pair (one black, other brown) of double knee Carhartt pants (they are freaking sweet). I love sweet pants. Even more, I love people on eBay that are nice and give you what you pay for (even if it’s not formally through eBay).
Spring break was very nice. Thanks, Matt, for coming home for the weekend, it was sweet. Funny story: My sister didn’t know that I was coming home for the weekend (my family didn’t know until that morning) so I thought I would surprise her. She was somewhat surprised. After exchanging pleasantries, I asked her what she was thinking when she first saw me b/c I saw that her face visibly changed. She said that when she saw me out of the corner of her eye she said (something along the lines of), “What’s that dirty hick doing in here?” or something. Which, I suppose, I deserved. My hair hadn’t been cut for 6 months, I hadn’t shaved in 2 or 3 days, I had my John Deere trucker cap on, jeans, and a flannel shirt. Rachel says “dirty hick”, I say “freakin sweet.” But since I love my family, I allowed my hair to be cut. Owing to lack of sideburns, this is the least amount of hair I’ve had on my head since jr. year of high school.
Rachel, Bard, Matt, and I rented “Lost in Translation.” Unless you’re middle aged… you probably won’t like this movie. Talk to Bard. We’re stoked about “Lost in Translation 2” (which won’t be made for those gullible people out there).
Jon O’Hara has moved down from Vermont to grace PA with his presence. So it was good to hang out with him and smoke cigars, etc. He went with me, Matt, and Rachel to see the Passion. A very good movie. I would say see it, no matter what, just so you have something to talk to other people about as a witnessing tool if the chance should arise. I’ll admit it, one scene made me cry, though I don’t think there was any bawling in the theater. I’m sorta glad though, cause it seems to be one of those things that spreads as more people do it. (I guess that’s why I like watching Lord of the Rings with (some) girls. When Dave’s all like, “Whoa, that was the most freaking sweet thing in the world!!” Girls are crying. It reminds me of the emotion and power of the film and the message behind it, not just the how sweet it looks (But are not the eagles the sweetest looking thing ever?!? I nominate Gwaihir and Landroval for an Oscar just for looking so awesome.)
While I’m psyched about Return of the King, I suppose it my duty as a nerd to recount all the sweet (ok… Adam just gave me a hug when he learned that I was updating my blog. Megan P… help me out here.) stuff it has done. Well… better yet… here’s a link for all the sweet stuff it won. It’s a lot! I’ll list the Acadamy Awards that it won, just because it’s too sweet! Best Achievement in Art Direction, Best Achievement in Costume Design, Best Achievement in Directing, Best Achievement in Editing, Best Achievement in Makeup, Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score, Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song, Best Achievement in Sound, Best Achievement in Visual Effects, Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. Yeah… I copied that.
Over break I found out that my friend, Aaron Moyer, with whom I got a ride from and to school, is dating Danielle Coyle. What a small world.
The Friendship Force is back in full swing… almost. Down to me, Carl, James, and Ben… it’s a good time. So far we’re not doing too bad. We’ve won two, lost two, and the two we lost were to the IM champs last year. Oh well. I’ll try to get a picture up soon.
Thanks to Wolfy (one of Danny’s frat brothers) who brought my bike back to campus for me. Sorry ladies… I’m in love… bicicleta… mi amor…*swooned*
For Modern Europe, I’m reading “The Voyage of the Beagle,” by Charles Darwin. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. That opinion is, unfortunately, is coming from a man who has read little else beside “Progressivism in 20th century America” for the past… too long. Dr. Harp… I’m embittered.
Kearney, Ladd, and I had to do a Spanish presentation. Office 2003’s upgrade is sweet. We defO used the English to Spanish translation thing for half of it. Explains link 13.
This weekend I’m off for a night or two to go camping (or at least to the cabin since we got an inch of snow last night). Tom said that he’ll be bringing an H&K UMP40 (like an MP5) and an assault shot gun. Hmm… yeah… I’m excited!
Time for da links:
Link 1 – No Bond movie this year… but there won’t be a Bond famine.
Link 2 – A new meaning to inhaling food. Hmm… and I eat a lot of popcorn.
Link 3 – SCRUBS is one freaking sweet ace show! I laugh very hard… very often. Read a little bout it… and Michael J Fox.
Link 4 – Take some time and look up.
Link 5 – Cole had a similar article about those who “shake it like a Polaroid picture!”
Link 6 – I think Megan said she wanted to head up the GCC chapter. (ok ok… low blow… but funny)
Link 7 – Cell phones kill.
Link 8 – The first two little stories here are pretty funny. Esp. the second one.
Link 9 – Just some more Californians being gay… or not gay. As the case may be. “Do your part. Support your local Troop.”
Link 10- I just thought this was funny considering I have cousins with the last name ‘Brown.’
Link 11- HIGH BANDWIDTH- One sweet ace picture of Peter Jackson’s house. He’s living it up!
Link 12 - HIGH BANDWIDTH- I think Megan sent this to me. It’s pretty sweet harmonica.
Link 13 – HIGH BANDWIDTH- my desktop… b/c I love Word (and the translator).
Link 14- Jennifer Allison writes one of the funniest GCC blogs. Grovers… read up.
Link 15- You can download the Oxford English Dictionary. I know… I’m a nerd. It’s a sweet program though.
Link 16 – Last, but not least. A sweet article on Johnny Depp.
Leave me a comment. I really really like comments.

Gay people are frustrating me.
Not only must I love these people in spite of their actions that I deem immoral and poisonous to our society, but now they are making a mockery of the laws of this country. This country—one that was proud to be a constitutional republic, one that was proud of its Christian heritage, one that had faith in its justice system, and one that was proud to accept others’ differences… willingly.
Now all is seemingly coming to naught. Will it come to war? Or is war already upon us?
Links:
(1) San Francisco has started handing out marriage licenses to gays and lesbians. I found some thing interesting in California Law. They cannot get away with this. Browsing through other codes, I saw nothing to contradict this; though I’m not an expert—I’m not dumb. A hearing, prompted by the Alliance Defense Fund, was delayed until Tuesday.
(2) Bush has mentioned this gay issue recently. So far he’s against the actions states have taken liberalizing marriage. Let’s pray he takes a firmer stand… maybe after he’s reelected, maybe not.
Enough already!
I snuck into
the Canadian Brass concert Monday night, which really wasn’t that hard, but it was most certainly worth it. They are so good at what they do and they have so much fun doing it. Incredibly interactive, talented, and comical (the girls might add: good-looking)—not wonder they perform around the world! I don’t know how much I would appreciate just a CD of brass, but their concert was definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen.
There might be more to say later. Until then, just ask Megan.
Outing Club action
Friday night to Saturday was a real good time. Hopefully I’ll get some of the picture that Bethany, Kates, and I made with the funky options on Beth’s camera. Good times. Thanks to Cory, for leading us out to this unique camping area that we’d never been to before. It’s located about 400 yards from where Dennison Run Road dead ends, fyi. We then, proceeded to go straight down the mountain toward the Allegany River, about 430ish feet down, in the stead of taking the trail. It was incredibly fun. We slid, at minimum, 100 vertical feet while sitting on our butts—steering with feet and hands. Snow is so fun. Cory also showed us a pretty sweet RR bridge (that had a big hole cut in a fence baring ones way on to the bridge. Not very safe, especially when covered in ice and snow. More fun in summer time… bridge jumping??) Look out Adam… I bought your pants at Cabala’s… we can be twins!!
I’m going to Canada with college peoples! Let you know about it post-haste.
LINKS
I have an enormity of links… but only a few for now. I shall not over-burden your intellects… nor insult them.
Some of you might have seen this “virus” in IM. Interesting little bugger. Here’s how it works.
Got $20? Got $20 million? If so, check out what you can buy on Ebay.
I found some stuff I never knew before, here. Grovers… it’s time to round off that education of yours.
I know that some of you nerd people out there understand my nerdiness and therefore, understand my screen name. To those who are left outside the walls of Nerdom… let me crack the door a bit. Gwaihir is the man… umm… bird? Furthermore, I have found the coolest valentines ever! Send a belated one today!!
HIGH BANDWIDTH – new Passion Trailer. Super sweet. I think I’m still going to see it. Perhaps more discussion as to why not to later.
Don't mess with this. Click on it for a better look.

Before I die
I figured I would bless the world with one last entry. After all, Adam (single) said that reading my blog was the highlight of his week. I said I was sorry that he had such a bad week.
Yeah. I have a lot of work to do this week, but I shall not complain to my worthy readers, such trivialities. Rather, I had a moderately, most excellent weekend. Beth and Ian (and clan) rock my jazzy face off. They put on a little pre-jazz concert show that a bunch of us went to see, and then left when they were done, before the actual performance started. (All the people were like… “They’re leaving.” … “Don’t they know it didn’t start yet?” And we were like, “Out of our way, foul knaves. We’re college students… with an attitude.” Or something like that.)
Tri-Rhos put on there “extravaganza” as well that night. It was a good time… the Rhos must all not be huge nerds. Thanks to Adam Neff (one sexy, single guy)… who makes us all look black with his dancing. Then, I’m pretty sure that I spent the whole of Saturday holed in my room, except for watching Good Will Hunting again. See a previous entry on this site for my thoughts on that movie (in a nut shell: Lots of cursing. See it anyway.)
I would like to thank Danny, my old roommate for leaving his cookies. His subscription to East Main’s cookie welfare program as become my responsibility... a responsibility that I shall not shirk nor take lightly.
College is great. Be sure to check out Megan’s blog to learn about just a portion of all the exciting things that Greeks bring to campus. So long Jerry. I wish that I could have met you. I aspire to be as you were… lost… cold… cute… surrounded by sympathetic girls. (eh… who am I kidding?)
I begin my first real day of tutoring over at Hillview Intermediate Unit today. Last week all the kids forgot that tutoring had started… so hopefully I get to learn my 5th grade language arts over again or something just as exciting.
Links for your enjoyment:
Funny article… silly terrorism. Thanks to whomever sent this to me.
Crazy Cubans. Though I applaud their innovative skills. Maybe we should take them in… they are probably smarter than a lot of other immigrants.
This was an interesting super bowl ad. I was really funny until you found out that they were doing it legally. “How many times do I have to tell you?? Don’t get caught!!!” (yes I made that quote up… just like a dude’s Ed Psyc paper that I read)
Some cool cars here. That new Mustang look frickin sweet!!!
More LOTR:ROTK nerd stuff. Bring on the Oscars.
Homestarrunner.com is having a white T-shirt sale… fyi.
Your and my favorite nerd lives to see another day. I’m glad. What a sweet ace nerd.
Semi-intriguing article about bringing emotions into video games and what it entails. Maybe some Psychology nerds will like it.
Leave a comment for all our enjoyment and enlightenment.

My sister just logged on
which probably means she'll yell at me again for not knowing what I'm doing in college.
Well, Rachel, college, thus far, is pretty much the same it has been the last three semesters.
However, my roommate, Danny, from last semester decided not to come back this semester at all, unbeknowist to Dave. I'm saddened.Break was enjoyable. I worked, climbed, and snow tubed.
I worked with my older cousin and others. Interior landscaping. They need help tearing down xmas stuff for two weeks or so, so it's a great job for dave, who has two weeks off and plenty of hours to work. So it was a good time. I got to work with my cousin, Matt (has girlfriend). We were lucky enough to be able to stay over night in New York City, all at company expense. So we were able to have a nice $70 dinner and work two 14 hour days... yeah overtime! I was also able to learn a lot more about the Philadelphia area, especially southern Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
I climbed, courtesey of Philly Rock Gym, twice over break. Thanks to Bard (single), Jim (married), and Joey (single) for the good times. Though I'm still a little pissed off that my climbing shoes that I ordered never got into the gym while I was home. I'll have to pester them about that in the future.
Big College Dave (single) also was able to hang out with my church's Jr. High Youth Group at Bear Creek. We went snow tubing. It was really crazy fun, fast, and painful. The hill had big bumps in it that really don't look like jumps. When, however, you fly over this "bumps" at 15 MPH, or something, these "bumps" evolve instantaniously into "jumps" making it super sweet. You really didn't have to work too hard to get yourself completely off the ground on the last two jumps, just pull the tube up a little bit. So I decided that on the last run of the day I would put a little more "Umpff" into it to see how far I could go. Note to self and others: One can go very far. I got some air on the second to last jump so one is still recovering from that when they hit the last jump. Unfourtunaly, my body wasn't pointed straight down the slope when I "umpff"-ed the last jump. Dave's tube caught the air and soared into lane two... due to erertia, Dave's body continued in lane one. I DO remember everything. Which included falling close to 15 feet and sliding another 20. My right thigh bone is still sore to the touch. There were few witnesses, since everyone was already heading back down to the lodge, but Bard said it looked awesome. And that's all that matters... i suppose. I would also like to say that Andrew Bard (6'3", blond, blue eyes, Xcountry runner, loves music, funny as all get out, overall sweetness level- 17 (from one to ten)) is super sweet for coming with dave on this trip full of 10-14 yearolds. Valerie (single... i think), I resisted from hitting your little sister... but sometimes it was painful to hold back. "Look! There's a Whitney! Let's hit 'em!" Bard will attest to my self restraint. Rachel R (taken... i think), niether of your brothers came... i was somewhat dissapointed. Joel (single) would have been halarious, and Daniel (stay away from) would have been halarious to watch fall down a mountain.
Since I've been back at school, I've done a few things... though I have a buttload of reading to do this semester. The tardiness of this blog entry is partly due to this fact.
First of all, thank you Mr. Dunbar (single) for driving me back to school. (this guy is so cool, he has the same sleeping bag as me... it's like... ah... nevermind.)
The Eagles lost. No link. I don't want to talk about it. Pather fans... I wish a pox on you all.
I saw ROTK for the fourth time at the Guthrie with Adam, Megan, and Tiff. I must say that girls definitely make that a better movie. ROTK leads the Oscar nomination list. No actors nominated, however. I believe that they have a real shot at best picture this year... especially with what their competition is looking like.
The new Smallville was sweet. (Clark(single) got a new, frickin awesome power!) Don't be a hater.
Alas, Spanish class is still the bane of my existance... runner up: Morrowind. Why do the gods tempt me with such awesomeness?? I'm being strong, thanks to my new Xbox support group: Adam and Matt (both single).
The outing club cabin was once again a huge success. Dean (single) cheap tubes at wal-mart (that took about 20 minutes to blow up... dang it) and we walked/pushed car down a road til we found some goodly sized mounts down which to throw our bodies. This turned out to be much less painful than previously said story, though i did, at one point, take a corner of a cinder block to the butt bone... not fun. Sleeping in my new sleeping bag was awesome. Everyone needs an excellent sleeping bag. The next day, some of us went out to slippery rock to take advantage of that "slippery" part behind their school. Unfortunatly, one kept either running into a fence or a tree. I took out a tree. He was hurting. Megan (single), I saved you life... you owe me one.
We started a new book study over at Pastor Hughes's home. Should be a good semester (or two).

-high bandwidth link- silly singing movie that a lot of you have seen already i'm thinking.
-almost high bandwidth link- one of the greatest music videos of all time... not really. But I thought it was funny.
schooner... i found your real bar.
Viewer Descretion Advised - just skip the top section it should be fine. Some funny stuff about
college. Thanks to Hoover.
Only Schooner would send me a link like this. Megan, as i recall, was a staunch advocate of this article.
Well, Rachel, college, thus far, is pretty much the same it has been the last three semesters.
However, my roommate, Danny, from last semester decided not to come back this semester at all, unbeknowist to Dave. I'm saddened.Break was enjoyable. I worked, climbed, and snow tubed.
I worked with my older cousin and others. Interior landscaping. They need help tearing down xmas stuff for two weeks or so, so it's a great job for dave, who has two weeks off and plenty of hours to work. So it was a good time. I got to work with my cousin, Matt (has girlfriend). We were lucky enough to be able to stay over night in New York City, all at company expense. So we were able to have a nice $70 dinner and work two 14 hour days... yeah overtime! I was also able to learn a lot more about the Philadelphia area, especially southern Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
I climbed, courtesey of Philly Rock Gym, twice over break. Thanks to Bard (single), Jim (married), and Joey (single) for the good times. Though I'm still a little pissed off that my climbing shoes that I ordered never got into the gym while I was home. I'll have to pester them about that in the future.
Big College Dave (single) also was able to hang out with my church's Jr. High Youth Group at Bear Creek. We went snow tubing. It was really crazy fun, fast, and painful. The hill had big bumps in it that really don't look like jumps. When, however, you fly over this "bumps" at 15 MPH, or something, these "bumps" evolve instantaniously into "jumps" making it super sweet. You really didn't have to work too hard to get yourself completely off the ground on the last two jumps, just pull the tube up a little bit. So I decided that on the last run of the day I would put a little more "Umpff" into it to see how far I could go. Note to self and others: One can go very far. I got some air on the second to last jump so one is still recovering from that when they hit the last jump. Unfourtunaly, my body wasn't pointed straight down the slope when I "umpff"-ed the last jump. Dave's tube caught the air and soared into lane two... due to erertia, Dave's body continued in lane one. I DO remember everything. Which included falling close to 15 feet and sliding another 20. My right thigh bone is still sore to the touch. There were few witnesses, since everyone was already heading back down to the lodge, but Bard said it looked awesome. And that's all that matters... i suppose. I would also like to say that Andrew Bard (6'3", blond, blue eyes, Xcountry runner, loves music, funny as all get out, overall sweetness level- 17 (from one to ten)) is super sweet for coming with dave on this trip full of 10-14 yearolds. Valerie (single... i think), I resisted from hitting your little sister... but sometimes it was painful to hold back. "Look! There's a Whitney! Let's hit 'em!" Bard will attest to my self restraint. Rachel R (taken... i think), niether of your brothers came... i was somewhat dissapointed. Joel (single) would have been halarious, and Daniel (stay away from) would have been halarious to watch fall down a mountain.
Since I've been back at school, I've done a few things... though I have a buttload of reading to do this semester. The tardiness of this blog entry is partly due to this fact.
First of all, thank you Mr. Dunbar (single) for driving me back to school. (this guy is so cool, he has the same sleeping bag as me... it's like... ah... nevermind.)
The Eagles lost. No link. I don't want to talk about it. Pather fans... I wish a pox on you all.
I saw ROTK for the fourth time at the Guthrie with Adam, Megan, and Tiff. I must say that girls definitely make that a better movie. ROTK leads the Oscar nomination list. No actors nominated, however. I believe that they have a real shot at best picture this year... especially with what their competition is looking like.
The new Smallville was sweet. (Clark(single) got a new, frickin awesome power!) Don't be a hater.
Alas, Spanish class is still the bane of my existance... runner up: Morrowind. Why do the gods tempt me with such awesomeness?? I'm being strong, thanks to my new Xbox support group: Adam and Matt (both single).
The outing club cabin was once again a huge success. Dean (single) cheap tubes at wal-mart (that took about 20 minutes to blow up... dang it) and we walked/pushed car down a road til we found some goodly sized mounts down which to throw our bodies. This turned out to be much less painful than previously said story, though i did, at one point, take a corner of a cinder block to the butt bone... not fun. Sleeping in my new sleeping bag was awesome. Everyone needs an excellent sleeping bag. The next day, some of us went out to slippery rock to take advantage of that "slippery" part behind their school. Unfortunatly, one kept either running into a fence or a tree. I took out a tree. He was hurting. Megan (single), I saved you life... you owe me one.
