The Martel Trampoline

On a totally unrelated note... here are some of my greatest fears:

dropping my glasses into the toilet

dropping my toothbrush into the toilet

jumping on a trampoline and breaking it because i'm too fat

falling off my bed and breaking every bone in my body because i'm too skinny

falling into the toilet and breaking every bone in my body

eating at a restaurant where the chef puts poo in everyone's food

WTK???!!!! This is the busiest week EVER. Why is everything due in the same week????

I'm so happy it's fall break!! I have a lot of thinking to do. Need to get my priorities straight and everything, you know what I mean?

Oh yeah, I uploaded some pictures from the Campanile. Ah yes, last year...what a different year... so fun, so traumatic, so weird.

It's 4AM.. WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I love computer science!! oh wait, I must be hallucinating or something right now because i'm saying something I would NEVER, EVER be able to say if I were sane and rational. Therefore I must be going crazy. QED.

I must get a million spam emails a day. More than half of those are viruses that go to the comp100 account. It's a good thing most of these virus programmers don't know english otherwise we'd be screwed

"Hello,This is a very new website
I wish you would like it. "

Ugh...I have to do Comp482.. this is bad... it almost reminds me of the days when I took comp320..
hmm.......i remember it like it was yesterday.....................

oh, this is very traumatic... from left to right it's Steve, Jimes, Gilbert, and Me getting r0xX0r3d by jigglypuff. Few people know the true power of Jigglypuff..

Here's a typical picture of our room... notice V and Dave studying diligently while Jimes and G play DDR.
Also notice Steve and Randy watching.

People keep asking me if they can buy my And1 t-shirts. I always feel bad when I have to tell them that I'm they're not real And1 shirts and that I'm not selling them because I don't want to be sued. I don't know who'd want to wear a shirt that says "I took a dump in your living room" though.

I live at Martel now with Jimes, V, Sean, Steve, and Randy. They're all pretty awesome. No beef yet. I'll keep you updated.

Classes I'm taking:
Comp482 - Design and Analysis of Disgusting Algorithms
Comp360 - Freakin' Hard Computer Graphics
Elec201 - Fun with Legos and Robots

Classes I'm labbying for:

Scar: Be prepared!
Cheech: We'll be prepared... for what?
Scar: For the last day of work!
Cheech: Why, are we getting fired?
Scar: No, fool, we're quitting, and Reuben is too.
Whoopi: Great idea! Who needs work?
Hyenas: No work, no work, la la la la la la!
Scar: Idiots! You'll have to go back to work after you graduate!
Cheech: But you said...
Scar: I'll win the lottery! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
Whoopi: Yay! Alright, long live the king!
Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!

What a momentous day. Today may mark the end of the summer and the end of my internship, but it also reminds us of new beginnings. A new school year, a new season, the return of old friends and the making of new friendships. It is a day of new website material. Yes, that's right, to commemorate orientation week and the beginning of autumn, i have taken the liberty of compiling a comprehensive list of all the great bathroom spots at rice. This is probably the most useful thing I've ever done for Rice University. So what are you waiting for? Click here.
This list is by no means complete, so additions, suggestions, comments, revisions, and violent reactions are welcome.

Wow, this weekend was action-packed! I went to Japan house-church, installed an afterburner into my gameboy advanced, watched The Lion King Musical, went to New Life Fellowship's fifth anniversary, ate in the karaoke room of Click!, played ghetto ball, watched Shaolin Soccer and played Warcraft 3. I would've put a link to a ghetto ball site, but it's too ghetto.

i transferred the beef files to a blog so now I can add new beef from any computer connected to the internet from virtually anywhere in the world!! (except for my work office because the internet connection here SUCKS).
Be sure to submit your new beef today!

Well, it's been one year since our mission trip with LIFE Ministries to Japan. Eric just came back from japan with the Kenshin manga I asked him to get me so now I can finally read the rest of that series (i'm still missing books 23 and 24 though).

I'm going to New York for a couple of days for my cousin's wedding so no updates for awhile...

I went to Schlitterbahn yesterday with my church's youthgroup. To be honest, I was kinda dissappointed. Don't get me wrong--it was really fun and everything and we had a blast, but I was expecting more because everyone hypes it up so much. One ride that was really cool was the Master Blaster. They call it that because these blasts of water push your little two-person tube all the way down the slide. Unfortunately, somebody crossed out the "L" and the "S" from the sign and I got duped into reading the sign aloud. That was pretty embarassing.

On the way back we played Mafia, that beloved game of lying and deception. I think it was unbalanced because the townspeople kept winning. I think the problem was that we had too many cops and everyone listens to Ryan no matter what. In mafia you're not supposed to trust anyone. That's the funnest part of mafia--when everyone is confused and no one knows who's telling the truth. I'll get you next time, Gadget...

Today, a bunch of us got a lot of stuff from the Reebok outlet store in Katy Mills. So if you see some asian thugs walking around wearing the exact same reebok apparel then it's probably us. 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 was really impressed by the acting, singing, and dancing. It was really an excellent performance. It just makes you sit back and say, "Wow, what a racist play."

oh yeah, i'm still sore from broomball on friday and I still smell cigarette smoke from Matt Bullard's Happy Hour.

what's wrong with me? 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 guess that's a good thing.

Amazing. 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)
as Matt touched our lives and shaped the consciousness of our culture. There was also total domination as Matt broke the pop-and-shot record at Jillians (140 points for 500+ tickets).

Thanks Matt...for everything.

Pictures will come soon...in the meantime pics from last year's happy hour.

I sent out an evite for the Matt Bullard Happy Hour.
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.

i just ate at James Coney Island with some Rice people. 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, it gave me ample reason to work out regularly. The only bad thing was TGWTU (The Guy Who Throws Up: see beef story #25).

Yeah...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 took over. Sean didn't do quite as well. First it was daily log, then bi-weekly log, and eventually it became the bi-annual log. You've really got to appreciate those people who can come up with creative and interesting logs day after day. Maybe it's harder for me because I haven't taken a real english or writing class since high school (and even in high school it wasn't that real).
I haven't been working out as regularly as I used to.. I wonder what would happen if I stopped working out completely? Would I get really, really fat or even skinnier? Or would I just stay the same? Probably the latter. Oh well, there's always basketball and tennis (and occasional games of football) and that's kinda like working out except more fun.
Well, back to work. Hopefully I can finish the week without dropping anything into the toilet or spilling drinks all over my work area.
