Can you smell that?

It smells like spring! Spring is here! I can sense it and scent it! I SMELL YOU SPRING!

What is the smell of spring? Why to me it's the smell of earth and water. Dirt and melting snow. It just is a wonderful smell! The smell of dirt and earth means things will soon be budding, coming back from it's wintery basement. Smell good! Next will come the smell of summer! The hot air mixed with the smell of alfalfa...or so I'm told it's alfalfa according to my mother. It's some farm plant...and no not cow poo. Cow poo can be smelled at almost any time. And summer also has the smell of water but it's more the smell of rain. Oh I love the smell of rain! I'm just a big scent person I guess. My nose is super sensitive. Got a lot of ole factories. You know those scent receptors? but I'm guessing ole factories isn't what they're really called.

Anyway. I smell spring and you better not go away. I have my nose on you! I'm like a scent hound! Also another sign of spring? the Chinook blowing. Though I don't think the wind today was very chinook-y. Once that warm bitch starts up then it'll be nice. But in the summer the warm wind isn't called the Chinook...what's it called? Meh. I don't know. Hot air blowing in from the Gulf?

But you know the summer wind is my fickle friend who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end. He came blown' in from accross the sea, lingered there, touched your hair and walked with me.

Then of course it's a marvelous night for a moondance, a fabtabulous night to make romance beneath the cover of October skies---wait. No! My friend the summer wind would have nothing to do with a moondance beneath October skies.

....lyrics from song...messed up to my liking... :)

I do love Michael Buble. Captain Smith and Pocahontas! Had a very mad affair, when her daddy tried to kill him, she said daddy don't you dare he gives me fever!

Ok sorry.

I was just on cnn.com and saw a headline that made me laugh. Not because the situation is funny but because it just seems...I don't know. it was something like "Grain prices raise 125%, hungry people riot" It was just the hungry people part that got me. It just seems...I don't know. In my head I flash to some dude with a really low voice reading the headline super slow and I guess that's what adds to the humor some. Starving children in Ethiopia is not funny, now Malawi on the other hand, hil-ar-i-ous!

right o good chaps. Must go watch Dirty Jobs and go rustle up some grub.

Word to your brothers....if you got them.

Beat the Mets, Beat the Mets

Whew! My boys of summer have been giving me some minor heart attacks these past few days. But all is well, they've got their shit together after a three game slide to beat the Mets the past two games. They go to St. Louis Tuesday and the Cardinals are doing pretty good so fingers crossed...

But let me not bore you with that.

How big of a panzy is Chewbacca? The first three Star Wars or I guess really they'd be the last three in regards to the timeline, anyway. The Star Wars have been on and well, I've been watching them. Always flipping between that and something else but back to the point. Chewie is such a panzy! Sure he can blast the Storm Troppers with the best of them but when it comes down to it, he is a wuss. Or a giant teddy bear as Lauren put it. Jabada Hut! Yes! Um anway, back to my rantings on Star Wars. Chewie's a wuss and C3PO acts like a stereotypical gay man. Emphasis on the word stereotypical.

Also what the hell? Yoda isn't in the first one? Puh. That was the only reason I kept watching the first one....and now I've kept up because I don't remember what the hell happened. heheh oh Jabada. You're so damn funny. I love all his people. The one that looks like his hair is a snaking turd, the little dude that laughs hysterically, and well Jaba looks like a load himself. (Return of the Jedi is on right now...oh and Tubby upstairs just got home...great)

You know, Star Wars is much like Harry Potter. What with the dark side and all. Except Voldemort isn't Harry's father.

I could expand on my theories of Star Wars but I won't. At least right now.

So I googled Chewbacca to get the proper spelling since I highly doubt blogger would know it. (I was gonna go with one C) and there are people writing Star War books? Is that how the hype has stayed alive so long, well before those three new/old ones came out. Apparently Chewbacca was killed off in a book to save Han Solo's son Anakin from getting caught when two planets were going to collide or some shit. And Anakin? That's Darth Vader's name.

Wow. I cannot believe I am talking about Star Wars. Holy buckets.

I need to some how redeem myself. Mmm yea I don't know how to right now so I'm just gonna stop.

Oh what a Knight

I got called cavalier today.

A professor told me he preserves me to have a cavalier attitude. He said it seems that I don't care. He notices it when he watches me work...which I find sounds slightly creepy.

But huh.

Cavalier eh? Had to google the definition for, you know, reaffirmation that I got the context right.

1.Showing arrogant or offhand disregard; dismissive: a cavalier attitude toward the suffering of others.
2.Carefree and nonchalant; jaunty.

Well I wouldn't say I fit the first description but perhaps the second. But I don't know...a little weird.

Anyway...hable con mi madre a hoy y señora decir yo (and I ran out of spanish) should go ahead and plan the trip down to St. Louis in July. yes! That'll mean two vacations out of state this summer. I mean really...that hasn't happened...ever. I've been stuck in a rut of not going anywhere for quite some time. Now I'll finally be able to stop bitching! The first is in June going to DC via Tennessee, then good ol' MO.

I shoulda stuck with Spanish. Damn spanish three kicked my ass though back in high school...mainly because the teacher was a real peice of work.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaah hace frío y llueve. Yo necisito comprar leche. yikes. my spanish vocabulary rivals a fifth graders.

shit son. why is it I have terrible luck with umbrellas? I'm the person who will be walking and the woosh! my umbrella turns inside out. It can be embarrassing!

alright. I really haven't any more to say. I shall go do something. I think lay in bed. That sounds like a warm idea.

Peace and hair grease.

Could you take my picture? Cuz I won't remember...

Picture time holmes. I'm having a debate as to if I should post the public links to my facebook albums...hmmm... it isn't like I'm participating in an Tom Foolery...hmm...nothing incrimidating...hmmm. Dunno, that's a ton of pictures. I know....a slide show!

(rat bastard didn't work...just look at the link!)


Um so I hope that worked...uh anyways...



look at this picture!

Holla! Oh yah! Ashley made me wait a week until she put that online...the dirty whore. Take a wild guess who it is. Yeah, you're most likely right.

Ok I gotta do homework. Booo.

Opening Day! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Opening Day in Milwaukee was amazing.

Plain and simple it was phenomenal!

It was glorious! It was ecstasy in activity form! It was like nothing else!

We got to Miller Park about about 10 AM, got parked and got to drinking. The game started at 1:20 and we sat in the parking lot until 1230-ish then made our way in and due to the throngs of people we missed the first few batters but that was alright cuz we got there in time to see Billy Hall jack one. Wooooooooooo!

My throat hurt from all the yelling.

Only downside to the day was waiting in long lines at the port-a-potty in the parking lot and that Craig Counsell didn't play. Other then that, AMAZING!

Now the other katie and I are looking into road tripping to St Louis at the end of July to see the Brewers play the Cardinals. It's about a 7 hour drive from Madison, katie is looking at hotels on hotwire and I'm looking at ticket prices. 48 dollars a person for 2 games. not bad. and she found a hotel for about 105 a person for three nights so shit, I don't know how we can't go. Sure gas might be expensive but we are planning on taking the cheap route when it comes to food, you know like buy stuff at a grocery store and nuke it in a microwave, so that'd be the only real bitch, the gas. Other then that, hell yeah! And if we go to a game on the road our chances of being on TV quadruple.

We're gonna come up with some cleaver signs to hold up, you know, be that person. It will be awesome.

Alright I'm hungry for some supper. Maybe I'll post some pictures from the day later. We'll see.
Adios amigos!

Drain-Whoa

Drain-o is simply amazing! I have never been more blown away by a cleaning product. So my shower has been pretty backed up for oh, about a month or two and today I finally, FINALLY! Bought me some Drain-o. And wow. I mean, really. That shit is powerful. Ok so I haven't showered in it since I've used it but just from running the water it seems to be amazingly clean!

Yes it is sad I'm excited over having a unplugged drain. It was getting annoying standing in six inches of water every time I showered.

Brewers won again today! Yay! Take that Chicago! TAKE IT! The announcers on FSN Wisconsin, you know Brain and Bill, kept talking about it being the I-94 series and how Chicago is 90 miles from Milwaukee, Wrigley Field is Miller Park South, all that jazz. Then it hit me. The perfect analogy: Cub fans are to Milwaukee as Cubans are to Miami.

Why is it so incredibly perfect(In my unbiased opinion of course)? You see, Cub fans infest Miller Park whenever the Cubs are in town. I wouldn't go as far to say Cubans infest Miami, but it's no secret they go there in hoards. Miami is 90 miles from Cuba. Milwaukee is 90 miles from Chicago. Do you see where I'm going with this? Good.

Now you might say, well why isn't Milwaukee Cuba while Chicago Miami? A couple of reasons. 1) Simple Geography. Who is to the north? Milwaukee and Miami. 2) Look at the names! You can't spell Cuba without Cub nor Miami or Milwaukee without an M. It's that simple. 3) I have never been to Chicago or Cuba so they go together like peas and carrots. Ok so I haven't been to Miami either...technicality. I've been to Orlando. When I was six. Ok so number 3 isn't a good one. 4) I'd rather go to Miami then Cuba, travel restrictions be damned.

Mmmhm. Enough with this don't ya think? yes.

So I was cookin' me some fish a little while ago and I dropped my fork in the oven and for 10 seconds I didn't know what to do. I just stared at it as the hot air was blowing on my face. Then it hit me, use the tongs to get it back. I don't think I've ever done that before, drop something in the oven. And it wasn't like I was using the fork to poke the fish or something. I think I just knocked it off the counter while opening the oven and oops, right on the burner.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck.

I have work to do so I shouldn't be telling silly stories about forking. cha!

I need to get my stalk on

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Totally went to the Brewer game on Saturday, totally was like two feet from Mr Counsell, totally got his autograph and totally did not say a single word or make eye contact with him. hehehehe.

I did while the line was winding down but once I got to the table, nope. Took the little cards they had there semi-pre autographed and went on my merry little way. I did then take pictures while sitting in the stands not too far away very creepy like but that was about it. The man in front of us in line, us being Ashley and myself. My mommy and daddy were there too but didn't wait in line, they instead started to drink at 1030 in the morning which isn't unusual for our family. Anyhoo, the man. I think his name was Jimmy. He was older, I'm guessing 50-60, had a bubbling personality and would talk to us about anything. And he talked to us the whole time in line which was about 45 minutes. Anyways, Jimmy is what I'd classify as a mild stalker. He's the dude that waits outside after the games trying to get autographs while the players are going to their cars. He hops fences to get them. Me? Not so much. I do my stalking in a controlled, acceptable, environment. Such as the Brewers on deck where the players are sitting there expecting people to come up to them. Ashely took a total paparazzi picture of Ozzie Chavez, stuck the camera right in his face. Well it wasn't right there but still very paparazzi. My mission was to get a Counsell autograph and I got a Counsell autograph. Also a Brian Shouse one since he was at the same table. Wanna see it? I know you do, later.

Whew! The game was pretty sweet, though we left during the seventh inning. (Not my idea, obviously) Got some good pictures, got in the baseball mood, got vamped for Friday.

Dissappointed I didn't get to see JJ or Prince. Saw Ben Sheets, Jeff Suppan, Mike Cameron, Eric Gange (who is already on my list after almost blowing the game yesterday. Seriously! One game in the season!) Bill Hall, Corey Hart, well obviously Craig Counsell and Brian Shouse while milling about the stadium.

For pictures from the game take a looksy

And a quick picture of the picture wall I have created from the pictures. ...I said pictures about two too many times....(Psst! Remember what pisses me off? Good...good. Blogger and putting pictures on it! Ooooooooh it makes me angry!

Yay!

The whole shabang.

Oh look what my new camera can do! Just pick up one color! How pimp is that?!

Ok ok. Enough with this. Outside the Brewers game my Spring Break was what most cultures would classify as uneventful. Relaxing, yet utterly boring at times. Spent way to much money. But that's ok. Didn't cut my hair like I said I might nor did I color it. My mother had a kinipshit almost when I said I wanted to change the color.

mmmmmmmmk. I'm outtie. (Brewers @ Cubs tomorrow 1:20 Central time..watch it. But if they, being the Brewers, start to suck because you're watching and you generally don't, turn the TV off and back away slowly. A thank ya)
