5-31-06        The Da Vinci Code wasn't as good as all the hype it got but still not a bad movie

5-30-06        39 non-Michigan and 94 Michigan pictures.  The following is the story of the Cubs game: well we had bleacher seats and we got there at 5 to get second row in left field. Dan was kind of drunk and calling every fly ball to him, telling players they suck, etc. So he was being noticed by the crowd. For some reason Jacques Jones is his favorite player. And during the first inning when he had his throwing error, Dan was saying it's ok everyone makes mistakes while the rest of the crowd was booing him. It so happens that a couple innings later Jones had like a 3 RBI double, so Dan had to lash back at everybody. Also during the game he wanted peanuts but no vendors came to us for the longest time (and he was yelling loudly about it) so finally we went to get them and beer from the concessions. Well when a peanut vendor finally came, there were like 100 people yelling at him to give Dan peanuts. ha ha. It was also funny that as soon as the rain delay started he was telling everyone to line up against the metal rail or to leave that the game was called off. The best part was in the 8th inning he decided that he wanted to leave and get white castle. Well everyone asked him where he was going and he said the game was over and he was going to white castle. He was wearing a green shirt and as we were leaving, all of the left field bleachers were chanted "guy in the green sucks." it was so funny.

5-29-06        Michigan was a blast; very hot and sunny.  I think everyone got third degree sunburns.

4-13-04    Went bowling and to Les Brothers with Katie, Danny, Sandy, and Daphne after a statistics review with Shannon.

4-12-04    Had a review of Punnett Squares with Rachel after about 7 years of inactivity.  Ha.

4-10-04    Eddie's party was well worth going to.  Saw a couple people I haven't seen in a while, like 14 years, 4 years, and seems like ages but really hasn't been more than a week or so.

4-9-04    Went Cosmic Bowling and to Steak N Shakewith Dan, Nicole, Maria, her cousin, Rachel, Shannon, Cristal, Jim, and Jimmy Carter.  Fun times.

4-7-04    Went to White Castle with Dan and Carolyn.  Even better, I'm still alive.  We've got a changed Michigan date in May.

4-6-04    Bowling was not very good.  Went to Les Brothers with Carolyn and Mrs. Budz.  Added 28 new pictures including 18 of our last Michigan trip involving Ricardo the Raccoon.

4-5-04    Rolling Lanes again.  Can't beat dollar games, beer, and hot dogs.  Drunk before we start bowling.  I'd update my scores but I don't remember them now.

4-4-04    Saw Hellboy with Dan and Katie.  Had its highs and lows,

4-3-04    Went to Buirger King after a long day at work with Shannon, Tom, Cristal, Maria, and Janette.  Lost an hour of sleep for a grand total of about 2.

4-2-04    Went to McDuffy's with Dan, Jim, and a few others.  Not too bad. Got pictures back.  Lots of scanning to do.  Ha.

3-31-04    Changed the bowling page a little bit.  "Finished" CS 470 labs. Little party over here with Dan and Katie. Supposedly I got some, even though I don't remember.  Ha Ha.

3-29-04    Went bowling at Rolling for $1.00 games, beer and hot dogs with Dan, Cathy, Ken for a few minutes, and KAtie stopped up there.  Needless to say, we were really drunk before we even started bowling.  Hence, the low scores.

3-28-04    Saw Never Die Alone with Dan, Katie, and Karen.  Then try to recover from the lack of sleep over the last 2 weeks.  Hopefully I'll be taking in pictures tomorrow to be developed.  Sorry for the delay, but 429 has been taking up 95% of my free time.

3-26-04    Nikki's last day at Petsmart. :-( Also, went downtown with Katie and Karen. Not surprisingly, three new quotes have been added.

3-18-04    Hairbangers Ball was awesome...can't wait to see them again. 

3-17-04    Wow...what a day!  Michigan was great.  A little cold, but very tolerable.  Poor Ricardo...let's just say that Dan was judge, jury, and executioner.  More to come when the pictures get developed. People just don't know what they miss in Michigan.

3-16-04    Happy Birthday, Rachel and Jeff!! Moved my pictures to another site due to web space deficiency.  Sorry about the ads, but I will try my hardest to get rid of them.    Bowling with Dan, Aric, Carolyn, Tom, and Katie.  Then White Castle with Dan.  Sleepover here.

3-15-04    First day of spring break and I spent 3 hours at school.  Watched Malibu's Most Wanted (it's essentially about Katie) with Dan, Katie, and Karen.  Went to Les Brothers with Dan, Katie, and Carolyn.

3-13-04    Janette's party was interesting to say the least...no jeans made interesting preparation plans when everyone already arrived at my house, freezing outside for like a half hour, going in the wrong room for a while, highly overpriced drinks.  But definitely fun and worth going two nights with a total of about 6 hours of sleep.

3-12-04    Added 25 new pictures...wrestling party over here with Dan, Katie, Shannon, Tom, and Carolyn (all at different times)

3-3-04    Long day of homework.  Then watched Cape Fear (great movie) with  Dan, and Carolyn.

3-1-04    The grand finale of Average Joe was not that great.  Wrestling was more entertaining with Ric Flair, Dan, and Carolyn.

2-29-04    Dan and I kicked Katie and Karen's asses in DDR.  Ha Ha.  That was horrible.  Plus the wedgies....

2-26-04    Got Metallica tickets.  Mucho money, but how great it is, especially if they play Dan's setlist.  Watched Dawn of the Dead with Dan, Katie, and Carolyn at night. Put up some pictures from Nikki's Birthday Party - Thanks, Dan!!

2-25-04    Did homework for about 6 hours, then went bowling with Dan, Katie, and Karen.  Had about a half hour of near-death coughing outside the bowling alley.  Went to Les Brothers and met Carolyn and Aric there just before we were leaving.  Got some pictures from Dan that should be posted soon (pretty cool).

2-24-04    Happy Birthday, Cristal!!  Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!! Did some math with Shannon.  I feel like death!  Added a couple more pictures and a new quote too.

2-23-04    Watched My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancée's conclusion and Average Joe.  Kind of played Battle of the Sexes with Dan, Carolyn, Katie, Karen, and Liz (for about 10 minutes before she had to go home).  Then we went to Les Brothers.

2-22-04    Today ends my nutty weekend consisting of about 4 hours of sleep in the past 64 hours.  Good night!!  My health is deteriorating more and more as time goes on. 

2-21-04    Happy Birthday, Nikki!!  Very fun party and a great time had by all...at least what can be remembered. Plus, we got a new edition of Rules of the Road from the police station.

2-20-04    Ended up working a 22 hour work day since the stupid truck came at night.  But got off early Saturday to make it to Nicole's party.

2-19-04    Did some baking with Dan, Katie, and Carolyn...tried to play Pictionary but ended up just watching an old wrestling tape.  Very comical.

2-14-04    Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  What better way to spend this miserable day than waking up, working 13 hours, then going home and going to sleep before going right back for 15 more tomorrow.

2-13-04    Wow...I went out.  Went to Les Brother's with Nikki, Dan, Rachel and a slew of her friends.  Rachel's enormous left boob knocked over a glass of water there...how exciting.  Then we caught up with Ken at his friend's grandpa's house...that was interesting.  A very fun night.

2-11-04    Psyc Paper was 7 pages and 429 lab report was 7 pages...Long day and night.  Still waiting for my mom to bring two cameras to Dominick so I can put up some more pictures.

2-10-04    Homework, homework, and more homework for probably the rest of the week.  Couldn't even go bowling :-(
