Hey, Strangers.

I know I don't update, it's been too long, and you probably don't even check this thing anymore, but alas, I chose to make a new post today. Summer break is in full swing. I spend most days lounging around my house, going fishing with Jason and Chris, or playing sand volleyball. Nights? Watching movies. It's a sad, sad life, folks. No social life. Ugh.

It's been awhiiiiiiiiile

I'm going to spare everyone the usual apologies about the lack of posting by yours truly and skip right to catching you folks up on what's going on in Mikey's World.


Let's seeeeeee....what have I been doing since we've last spoken....


There's been lots of going to class, lots of going to area-schools to observe classes, lots of volleyball and basketball games, the occasional night of boozing, and the occasional weekend in Fayetteville. If you mix all those together, you can pretty much predict my weekly routine. I'm kinda stuck in a rut. I'm sure that you all know the feeling: you just keep doing the same thing over and over again. You feel like you're stuck in quicksand. Well, that's what I'm starting to feel like. I'm just in the beginning stages, so don't fret. I just need to find a way to break out of it before it gets any worse. Aaaaaaanyway...


In the aforementioned volleyball and basketball discussion, my intramural b-ball team won the Tech tournament and earned a bid to regionals. Hooray. My city-league volleyball team is all but dominating the standings. Yay. My knees and shin splints are beginning to hurt again. The reason being is that I weigh WAY too much to be running and jumping around as much as I do. The solution? Either stop running and jumping around....not likely.....or lose weight. I'm choosing the latter. Knees and shins aside, the loss of weight may even help my lack of luck with the ladies, which has been well documented. As it turns out, women don't like fat guys. Who knew?

No pictures, no time

Out of the blue, I got invited to go to Fayetteville. I knew Marshall and Lauren were going up there this weekend for the Razorbacks Basketball game, but I didn't want to go and waste time while they were at the game. It turns out that I'm going....fuck it. I'm boozing it up to celebrate a B or a C on my most recent Educational Psychology test. I made Marshall promise me that we would come back after the game on Saturday because he's been known to prolong trips to Fayette-Nam by several days. Anyhooch. Leave plenty of comments because I love them.

PS: It's 5:30 p.m, and I'm getting toasty from the Sam Adams that I've been pounding.

It's Friiiiiiiiiiday

I ended this horrendous academic school week with a test at 1 o'clock this afternoon. I feel like I did well, so to celebrate, I plan on getting 28 sheets to the wind tonight....probably tomorrow night....who knows, Sunday afternoon too.

News...

• The Thundercats City League Volleyball Team is playing well. We've won several matches and lost a couple. The more we play together; the better we get.



• I found out that I may have a chance to coach volleyball in Brazil after I graduate.



• Fat Bastard Shiraz makes me warm and fuzzy allllllllllllll over.



• I am now positive that "Scrubs" is the funniest show on tv.



• LOST started again last night. I'm pissed because no one has physically assaulted Ben to the point of death. That bug-eyed bastard would be lying in a ditch somewhere if I was on that island.



• It's becoming progressively clear to me that I need the love of a good woman. I, currently, am not recieving said love.

Eyes Wide Open

Good morning, everyone. I only say this because I have spent the last 37 hours in bed. My illness took a turn for the worse yesterday morning. I woke up, threw up, and maintained a steady body temperature of around 102 all day and night. Let me just say that my fever and Nyquil-induced stupor was NOT fun. I felt better this afternoon when I got up. Yeah, I got up...this AFTERNOON. I feel like I've wasted and entire weekend, which I have.

I could have sent this in, but didn't:

Down with the Sickness

I know it's been awhile since I've updated, and I'm sorry. Here's the new business:

• The Russellville City League Volleyball season started on Tuesday. So far, our team, which is the best team in the league, hasn't played well, and we're still tied for 1st place.


• I am sick, and I caught this illness from Jason. In the germs' defense, I asked for it....literally. I said that I wanted to get sick for the aforementioned weight loss reasons, and my wishes have come true.


• School's crazy...as usual.


• I'm going to buy a big bottle of wine and drink it all by myself. I hear Fat Bastard is pretty good. ;)
