Today's Blog Entry is dedicated to Chad Hernandez (R.I.P)
Chad, I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better and that I didn't keep in touch with you much after you left Rice. My only comfort is that I know we'll meet again someday on the other side. This is a painful reminder that usually you don't miss something until it's gone.

After watching the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers over the break, i've heard many heated discussions over who's the hottest person in the movie. Some say it's Arwen, some say Aragon. Most people, however say that it's Legolas who's the hottest. I have to disagree. Look at the two pictures below and tell me who you think's the hottest.

It'll be almost as embarassing as the time when Sean, Eric, and I wore the same Rice t-shirt to Japa101.
I saw West Side Story for the first time at Miller Outdoor Theatre for the first time EVER.

I must be extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke or something because I can still smell it from Jillian's everywhere I go. The same thing happened to me when I took a trip with my family to Las Vegas back in the day.. i could smell the smoke for weeks. it ruins everything..the taste of food, the smell of food, the smell of my dog, the smell in jimes' room...oh wait, i Reubennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618150.post-793968762002-07-25T11:09:00.000-05:002002-07-25T11:18:22.000-05:00Amazing. Truly Amazing. On behalf of Matt Bullard, I would like to thank everyone who came out to the second annual Matt Bullard Happy Hour. We had a great turnout...12 people from Rice/HCC alone!!
Just ask anyone who went, and they will tell you what a fun, memorable night it was. There were definitely many MMM's (Magical Matt Moments)

Now everybody thinks i'm psycho. Click here to see it..
On an unrelated note, why do the O-week themes suck now? Maybe since I had the Star Wars theme i expect much
more from O-week themes. or maybe i'm just a huge nerd.

Mmmm, haven't eaten there in a long time.. after that I drank a Strawberry Hulk from Smoothie King. I think my favorite job of all time so far was when I worked at Smoothie King the past two summers. The work wasn't hard at all, the atmosphere was very relaxed and laid back, all the smoothies I could drink, and since it was inside the Q, Reubennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618150.post-790659672002-07-17T10:04:00.000-05:002002-07-30T16:22:25.000-05:00Yeah...I'm just gonna go ahead and say that i haven't had time to update my website recently....yeah....
I think keeping a daily log is tough. Many have tried. I think it was my sophomore year when almost everybody I knew started creating their own websites and attempted to keep daily logs. I think Krause did the best. He kept it up for a pretty long time but then I guess college finally tookReubennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618150.post-787198072002-07-09T00:56:00.000-05:002002-07-09T01:02:06.000-05:00I'll keep it short and sweet.

I like playing ghetto ball because it's interesting to watch how my rice friends and flip friends interact. Ghetto ball's also fun because the the basketball court itself plays a role in the outcome of the game. Just trying to avoid slipping and falling on your butt is a task unto itself. You also never know how the Reubennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618150.post-786421122002-07-07T02:07:00.000-05:002002-07-07T02:22:27.000-05:00So today I did a psyc experiment for a Rice grad student. In my years of college i think i've already done over twenty hours of psychology experiments. I think i'm kinda abnormal so i hope i'm not messing up psychology research by participating in so many experiments.
After that I went to Jones to play some Smash Bros. Melee but then an alarm went off somewhere in the servery and I was forced Reubennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618150.post-786107232002-07-06T01:56:00.000-05:002002-08-04T12:54:32.000-05:00So i finally got around to putting a blogger on my website. What am i supposed to do with this? I guess I'll write about my boring daily life for all you wannabe stalkers out there. Today i played tennis at Rice, then went to Sugarland to look for some more fireworks but all the ghetto fireworks stands were closed. Don't they know that "fun with fireworks" doesn't have to end on the 4th?? WeReubennoreply@blogger.com
