Do your damn dishes!

Hello all from "The City", better known to those not influenced by the lyrical workings of bone thugs in harmony as Cleveland. Well more the sprawling metropolis of suburban cities where colored people have scared all the moderately well to do from the city innards into the woods (which they then cut down in order to build the american dream; seas of green non-native grass with large blobs of asphalt and some now struggling commercial property). Anyways, I got an apartment in Painesville which is about 30 minutes east of downtown give or take. More conveniently 8.3 minutes away from work according to mapquest. On a side note, thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet. Genius that man. So if you guys are ever are in the neighborhood drop in and RAGE! Work is good. Not my dream job, but I am not a complete broke ass anymore. Matty, sorry no commune yet. I will be growing some veggies and herbs on my patio this spring and maybe starting a big smelly compost to piss off the old ladies living in the complex.

Oh yes, the subject of this post. Dishes! I must say since I am on my own I no longer have large piles of dishes. There could be several explanations. One could be the wonderful 21st century technology of the dishwasher. Another could possibly be not hosting large dinner parties 421 style. However I would like to think it is because I do my dishes and the rest of you are obviously to blame for all mishaps involving dishes. But thats just me. On a serious note about dishes though I used our no dirty dishes tally idea as a model for positive reinforcement today at work. Reviews were mixed. My seriousness on the issue was obviously mis-interpreted. I now leave you with this (John Stewart would call it your moment of zen, however it is rosh hashanah and he cannot roll today)...

Location: Redneck bar. Lots of nascar posters, lots of old creepy men in need of dental plans, very poor lighting, you know the type. Painesville, OH
So I go to the bar and ask what types of beer they have. This middle aged women who looked like she time warped here from the eighties (the bartender) responds with a list of beers, none of which I was extremely interested with. Your typical gas station beer, budweiser bud light miller light mgd pbr high life etc. I asked her if they had any Great Lakes. She promptly responds, "we ain't got no imports"

Holy Shit this thing works!

Alright, I am an idiot, but I really haven't tried to work this gadget thing before.

Brown Bear how are you? Cincinnati is holding strong I take it?

Ali--you left? Care for a visitor sometime? Not saying its gonna happen, but the off chance that it does, I think the Ukraine would be fun. 

Dave--you in Mozambique yet? Not that I really wanna call ya, or have anything to say, but I hope you get a celtel phone plan--its cheaper to chat with ya then.

Jordan--how's your red headed life going? Still living in Cincinnati?

Geoff & Tyler--your 5th year students. How is that treating you? Gotta be kinda strange not knowing as many people, but I bet you both are getting along just fine.

Stevo--tell me something New York has that Malawi doesn't...ya know something really good, that i can only find in New York, or it has the best of!

Michael--what are you up to? have you established the commune yet?

Jessie--your off soon to fight forest fires. No offense, but are you tough enough? I don't want you to get eaten by the fire because your knee's are shot.

Okay, well Malawi is good. It's hotter then shit, but thats about it. Hope to keep checking this thing.

Peace, Rage, and World Domination

Creamed Corn

Where have all the cowboys gone?

So Dave and Ali have both now left for their moderately lengthy international volunteer experiences (or at least caught planes that take them to their first stops). This leaves a huge void of space cadetery, the likes of which have never been seen. I send these two kindred spirits off with some words that I have only briefly considered before writing them just now but nonetheless may or may not come from the heart:

-words of solace: genetics, at this point, is/are on your side, in my opinion
-say good-bye to barbeque sauce
-Both Ali and Dave will certainly be missed and not forgotten

I give to you, the avid blog reader, two crude effigies of the aforementioned Dave [Gunther] and Ali Space Cadeticus

Rage.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Hey guys! Just thought I would let you know that my cadaver is a chubby individual. His name is Klaus, and he seems to be raised on a largely german diet of fattening sausage, thick dark bier, and cheesy kraut. I have spent a significant portion of my gross anatomy lab time giving this clown a liposuction the hard way (ie without suction, but more slicing with a scalpel). Tomorrow I turn him over and cut right into the heart of his germanitude: his BierBelly. Have a nice day doing whatever it is you do (Steve-O, pretending to do work in his cubicle but really playing some sort of computer game, one involving cooking without cleanup, Michael struggling to overcome his diabeetus while performing emergency surgery on furry monkeys, Geoff learning how to do all our taxes and save us from the Man's wrath, Matty doing something that makes you just say "really?", Dave attempting to learn Portuguese by repeatedly watching City of God, Ali probably losing something or running late due to poor planning/general space cadet disorder, Patrick probably insulting someone and apoligizing before the person actually realizes they have been insulted, Jordan inputting information in his PDA about his next 10 meetings while simultaneously presenting in (you guessed it) a meeting, and of course Tyler strumming his guitar in a dark room lit only by a dim desk lamp, about to commence writing a 15 page paper due in 6 hours, with no shirt having just woken up from his afternoon nap, and of wearing his retainer.)

Love,
Brown Bear

What are ya'll up to now?

Hey everyone!
I was just thinking that I havent heard from some of you in a bit, I was just wondering what you were up to these days. Work for me is going well. the WEBN fireworks were really sweet to go to at a private event with the fam and work. I just started classes on Multimedia design and Web Development so those will be good to learn, but it sucks to be back in class. Anyway, hit me up or post damnit! Hope all is well and safe with .
Have a Blessed day

I had the sweetest room at 421...
