I have been f#!ked in the annal for the last time
Well I got the '05 edition of the university yearbook in the mail the other day and I was anxious, after 6 long years of waiting, to see my senior portrait displayed alongside my recently graduated classmates. Well apparently the smart money in the Calyx office was on my not graduating until '06 as I was once again deprived of my chance to be officially acknowledged as a senior in the recorded annals of Washington and Lee. In prior editions of this storied annual, I have been listed in several different classes, starting with my original '03 followed by a '05 appearance. I was then promoted to '04 but after I didn't produce I was sent back down to '05 for two years. Now that I have been once again unfairly demoted to 2006, I have officially have had more class than British royalty.
Anyway, in order to escape my currently disappointing reality, I try to live vicariously through the exotic lives of the cast of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. These kids truly do have it made as they go about their luxurious lives without any apparent parental influences. It is like a rich and real life manifestation of Peanuts, only with shifty beefcake Jason in the doghouse instead of Snoopy. Nonetheless, since MTV only airs the show 6 times daily, I am left to fend for myself in the harsh realities of The Real World for the remainder of my day. Well, I hope everybody else had a good and productive day--at least someone is. Feel free to post a comment and contribute. Take care.

Blog Cabin Fever
So it has been two months and counting since I graduated and I still don't have a job. . . . deservedly so considering I am dangerously unqualified for everything I am considering. I got beaten out for a paper route a few weeks ago by a limp wristed and overweight 10 year-old because quote "he has a higher ceiling" than I do. Consequently, I spend my days watching the National Jump Rope Championships on ESPN-2 and old video Yearbooks of obscure, but not forgotten football teams on the NFL network. The other day they ran the 1983 Cinncinatti Bengals who apparently clawed their way from the bottom of the standings and earned their stripes towards respectability (They are quite poetic over at NFL Films). So to consume the ample time on my hands, I decided to start this blog to prevent myself from total physcial and mental dormancy. Also, I am trying to get my Daily Lodger website going again, so if you have any ideas for headlines please feel free to post them on this blog. Anyway, I wish I could use this blog as a forum to provide cunning insight on prominent social, political and world issues, but I am anti-social, not much into politics, and I was never very good at geography. Instead this will be my vehicle to espouse senseless banter. Hope all is well with everyone and take care.
