A bit of a throwback

Ok, I have just spent about half an hour getting caught up on the house board and I appologize for elongated absense. I hope that this finds you all happy and healthy wherever you may be.

To my friends abroad; I hope that your respective foreign cuntries [sic] don't kill you (since they can do that) and that you find fullfillment and self-worth in what you do. Stay safe and I actually would be interested in some of the day-to-day details of "the life" what's the diet like? what are the social stigmas that you have screwed up? etc.

To my full-time office/lab/cubicle working friends; I hope that you are happy in what you are doing, and if you cant be happy, I hope that you are at least contented. Get some hobbies, I find that that helps.

Anywho, I guess Im writing for a couple different reasons that I thought of so I will continue to type and see where my fingers take me.

a. What are you all in the ohio area doing for New Year's? I have heard a couple different really good raging possibilities such as Cleveland or Chicago. Let's see if we can work something out that could be dangerously fun.

b. Ravi, we need to hang out again soon.

c. Steve-O ...... actually I just talked to you, so I got nothing....

d. Mike, can you steal me a monkey? or at least let me borrow one? I think that would be a fun experiment...

e. Geoff, thanks for being sweet and not rubbing it in

f. Matt, hope Africa is going well, have you been pirating these ships? if so, dont die

g. Dave, I hope your bowels have recovered and your not throwing up out your rectum any longer

h. Tyler, you havent called for that alfredo recipe in a while, are you ok?

i. Story time - so this past weekend I was visiting Lauren at UD and went up Saturday afternoon to be there in time for some dinner (nothing too exciting) and to being the boozing. She lives at 1522 Frericks right across from the castle which was having a classy Chistmas party (interesting that they are still allowed to call it that even though we played beer pong and took shots, maybe my definition of 'classy' has morphed a bit)(we were and are classy) that evening. So Lauren and I got ready and dressed up and all that and began drinking around 7 or 8pm. I continued to drink with a boyfriend of one of her roommates while the girls finished getting ready so I was maybe three or four beers deep when we went across the street.
So we got into this party and te placed was respectfully packed with dressed up folks with wrapping paper covering the walls, Christmas lights hung up, the works and we make our way to the bar to get a drink (not a real bar, not THAT cool, actually the kitchen where the counters were covered with bottles) and I made myself a drink and took a shot with a guy I knew... Then we played some beer pong... then another drink from the kitchen/bar... then a cup from one of those classic college tub o' death drinks and I was done. The rest of the night was very in and out, I remember some bu not all. Lauren was pretty hammerfaced as well so she wasnt really good at recounting my evening for me, but as much as I can tell, I didnt make an ass out of myself, except when I got back to Lauren's and proceeded to thrash her kitchen, yell at her roommate and the best part; thow up on my poop. Yeah that's right, I've always wondered what you would do if you were pooping and had to vomit, if you could have enough will power to stop one or the other urges. Turns out, you dont have to, you just poop faster. Since I felt the vomit coming, I pushed then with my pants around my ankles, turned around and threw up on my poop. Very satisfyingly disgusting. So now you know what to do if you are ever caught in this predicament. Push.
The next day was hell. I threw up stomach acid four times and all I did was sleep, watch tv, and throw up until I had to go home to be at work Monday at 8. Oh Dayton my Dayton.

So that was this past wknd, anywho, I hope you are all safe and happy with whatever you are doing wherever you are doing it, Im glad that we keep this up, it's nice.

I have to poop...
