Pictures From (at some least parts) of My Life

I decided to post some pictures from my camera phone to give a glimpse of what my phone has seen (in the past year and a half)...

All of the pictures can be viewed here:

A business trip to Baltimore:
I have had to go to Baltimore for work quite a few times, and apparently I decided it was important to take pictures at the hotel I was staying at.


The party (at Cobo Joe's Bar) after a Detroit Redwings game Thomas, Skin, Lit and I went to last season:

Skinner Dancing with our waitress (Above).

Thomas singing Drunken Karaoke.

A picture of an open beer I saw in someones cup holder:

Dennis and Skinner wearing the "Asshole" sweater:
We have been known to play a drinking card game called "Asshole", it just so happens that the Asshole (losing player) had to wear this stupidly small sweater vest in addition to drinking way too much...
Skippy's 21st Birthday Party:

A large group of us at Skippy's 21st...

The Cake Jill and I made Skippy...

Skippy... Yes, this cat turned 21, and we had a party for it.

St. Patrick's Day at "The Fox and Hound":
Jill and I got really drunk at the Fox and Hound on St. Patties Day (don't remember if it was this past one or two ago) and we had to call Thomas to come pick us up...

Jill and Thomas.

Drunken Me (looks like I am giving out advise).

Thomas with all of the cheap toilet paper Kroger had to offer.
We cleaned out Kroger of all the cheap TP they had before we decorated someone's home not too long ago.

My Parent's Dog (Sammy, the Yorkie).

Annabell.

First Anniversary Gift(s)

So, on June 30th 2008 Jill and I will have been married for a year. Jill's gift to me was tickets to the Jack Johnson concert at the Verizon Music Center in Noblesville (Indy), on Friday. I would like to thank Tom for letting Annabell out before he left for Detroit. The Concert was awesome, we were on the lawn, and there were something like 20,000 people there.

Jill didn't know a lot of his music, but I did. It was probably the best gift I can think of given the circumstances. Jack Johnson also probably has the most diverse fan base I have ever witnessed. There were little kids there (presumably because of his Curious George Soundtrack), older adults, and a ton of potheads. For example: Where we were sitting, there was a family directly in front of us (with a 10 year old boy), a large group of maybe 18 year old girls beside us, and a group of 20-somethings smoking pot right behind us. It was entertaining just to people watch.


Jill and I also decided to be somewhat responsible and buy a gift for the house... A new LAWNMOWER! I know this may not be exciting to most, but if you see what I had to work with (below) you would be excited as well.

Old Lawnmower (1): A $30 yard sale purchase, mowed the lawn fine but was a pain in the ass to use. It now lives at the Good Will, looking for a new home.

Old Lawnmower (2): Was given to us by Bishop Brown in exchange for beer. The electric starter motor had fallen off and there were various other problems when we received it. I thought I would take it all apart and repair it back to new. A year later, and all I had done was remove the engine and realize it was going to cost me over $100 in new parts. It now resides (in multiple pieces) in our recycling bin waiting to become something else (I figured it I cut it up with the Sawzall, and stuffed it in the bin, it would find itself to the recycling center).


New Lawnmower: A Cub Cadet, electric start, self propelled, mulching machine of doom. I am so proud.

Last Post: Re: Carbon Credits

To: Anon. (number 2) and Glen:

Get off your high horse and quit being an asshole. It was a joke. Also, Al Gore can kiss my ass.

To Everyone Else:

People are really selling carbon credits on eBay! What a scam:

Lack of Posting

I am going to post a quick "mobile" post.  I know I have been slacking in the world of blogging...  I just thought I would post this somewhere before I forget.  Jill and I were having a discussion about how Al Gore bought "Carbon Credits" for someone because he had "used his up.". I am all for saving the enviroment, but paying someone money because you are producing too much pollution?  That is ludicrous.

So Jill and I decided that we are going to sell "Carbon Credits" on eBay.  That is, you can buy these credits from us if you feel you are producing too much pollution, and we promise to forgive you.  Hey, Al Gore did it, so it must be the right thing to do.

I will post the eBay link soon.  No joke.

Purdue Grades = Slight Depression

Awhile ago I posted about my awful performance on my Final Exam in MA 511. I was greeted with a multitude of negative "quit pitying yourself" comments the next day. I got my exam results and class grade back recently, and I guess you were right.

Even though I felt that I did horrible, thinking I was going to get a 'D' or worse, I ended up with a 'B' in the class. I know a 'B' in graduate school is the equivalent of a 'C' in an undergrad course but a 'D' means it is time to pack it up and join the circus. I am quite happy with the mark of a 'B' and will continue on in my blissful ignorant existence of a part time graduate student.

I was right to say that I did horrible on my final exam though, because I did. I scored a 106/200, while the class average was a 124/200. I scored below average, but I am also not getting my Master's in Math (who this course is designed for), so I guess it is okay.

F.Y.I. : The chart at the top of the page shows the inflation of grades over the years of a number of Universities. Notice, Purdue is at the lower right hand side of the chart. This means that Purdue does not inflate its grades like other schools, so not everyone gets the warm fuzzies of a "good" mark. I think that is good, because not everyone can be an astronaut when they grow up.

The Knack

A friend from High School / College sent this to me with a note saying that I was who he thought of when he first saw it. I think it was a huge complement.
