College Blog

Okay, I have to admit it. I am a slacker… and that is the first step to recovery. But with that said, a lot has happened and as always, I fail to log it.  With that in mind let me introduce you to my first resolution.

New Year’s Resolution #1: Stop Being a Slacker
New Year’s Resolution #2: When done slacking, blog

Before I forget, Merry Christmas to all! My Christmas was most excellent.  Spent some quality time with the family, landed myself a Wii and some fun games.  Then.. to top out the year, I got myself a little present of my own.. nothing too big:

My New Baby

Isn’t she sexy?  I plan on hosting a page dedicated to her journeys and most excellent adventures — which includes a 4,000 mile road trip soon.

I have lot so of updates coming soon… once I stop slacking.

Three days, two awesome signs to come crossed (by the way, please excuse the crap quality of the photos - taken via cell). The first sign is from a golf supply store - looks like they are turning to witty advertising to try to attract more customers.

Schwetty Blue Balls

The Sign Reads “Schwetty Blue Balls In Stock”

This sign totally made my day. I drove past this sign two or three times before actually seeing it.  And yes — I did see the sign before I thought of the name to my new horse

The next sign I saw last night. I went to a local pub to have a drink and this sign bugged me for some reason. Then it dawned on me why - the date was wrong! Had a good laugh with it - yes they do ID and are very serious about it - so new borns! When you crawl out of the darkness, make sure you bring your ID before going down to the pub!

New Borns, bring your ID

It read “Must be born on or before this date”

After the lady asked for my ID, I asked her why it was needed - I was obviously born today or before - she was sooo confused. Either way, good sign - even better laugh.

I cannot believe it is finally here! I know I am a bit late - what do you expect from such a busy person? I am definitely lacking - I am working on making up for it.  School sucked, as usual and finals week almost killed me.

Tonight - I do have a confession to make - I am a closet World Derby Owners Club Fan…. yeah.  It is a horse racing game. It looks really lame, yet it is sooo fun.  It was completely accidental but none the less it did happen.  We traveled to the local Dave and Busters to play some shoot-em-up games (erm.. House of the Dead) and ran out of money.  After looking around the place we found this horse racing game.  I saw some cards and started to play with them and the machine took one and was acting like it would allow me to play. Not thinking it had any credits I named my horse (which was born as a grey female) BIGBALLS. Suddenly it spit out a card with my horse, BIGBALLS! And now.. I had four credits. So I couldn’t just walk away. And now, I am addicted. The game is fun.

Wednesdays at DB you play for half off during certain times. So today we went back and now my horse is awesome! BIGBALLS broke one time record and is now on the machine until someone beats that record. She also won three big titles, Queen Elizabeth II, Stayers, and Sprinter - and has even earned over 8 million in cash.  I even got my ’starter’ speed maxed out. Yes… I do plan on keep improving her and breeding her.  Was thinking about making a new horse and training it, naming it Schweety - that way when bred the new born will be SchweetyBalls - Poor horse.  Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures of my horse and the stats shortly, probably a few Wednesdays from now.

During the summer the updates should be frequent and should include a lot of reviews and yes the random vinyl reviews will continue! I had a few e-mails asking why I have stopped.  Also, yes I am aware that the political campaigns are over so I will be updating everything shortly.
