Yeah...finally got around to this
So after being threatened numerous times by Ryan to update this here thing and since it's 1:30 AM and no one is online, I figured I'd recap the weekend.
Friday:
Tony and I spent all day wondering what the hell was going on at night. Shawn had mentioned to us that the FIJI guys were taking us out to Damon's as it would be a dinner for the new, incoming pledges. He said that we should get a phone call sometime Friday. It was also rumored that it was to be an event that required the wearing of a suit. Tony was suitless, so he thought that he'd have to find one on less than a day's notice...which would have been bad. However, no call comes all day, so we had no idea what was going on. Shawn then tells us that apparently it was only for the guys that the brothers still needed to look at before deciding whether or not to offer a bid to them or not. Great. So now dinner is off. 6:00 PM: Shawn informs us that we are indeed supposed to go to dinner, we should have been the first ones invited, and it was casual dress. Oh yeah, and Brent is coming to get us at 6:20 so be ready. Awesome. So we went to Damon's and FIJI picked up the tab for both mine and Tony's full slab of ribs. Mmm mmm gooood. Dan dominated the rest of the restaurant in music trivia on the big screen. Quite impressive in mopping up 2 games if I must say so myself. After that, I came back and went to go see the Incredibles at Pruis. Decent movie, kinda kiddy though. Ah well, saw it with a group of people so it was aight. Went to IHOP to celebrate Laura's b-day. Nicole later said that she saw me but didn't say hi. Not cool.
Saturday:
C'mon. It's the weekend. Who does anything during the day? FIJI treated us to a Pacers game at night though. Ahhh...my first trip to Indianapolis. People were shocked that I had never been there. When I asked them if they'd ever been to Cleveland, I think Tony was the only one that said yes. Hypocrites. Why else would I have ever been in Indy? On a side note, this was the second farthest I've been off campus so far this year (the Incubus concert in Ft. Wayne being the first). Anyway, out of the 15 people that went to the game, I'd say that it was fairly even 33-33-33 on who wanted the Pacers to win, who wanted the Pacers to lose, and who frankly didn't give a damn and just came out for the experience. Of course, I was in the second group and was pleased because they got rolled my Cleveland Central Catholic High grad and 5'5" 133 lbs. stud PG Earl Boykins. Highlight of the game: Seeing "Welcome Phi Gamma Delta of Ball State University" on the Jumbotron. Lowlight of the game: The fact that we didn't get a picture of "Welcome Phi Gamma Delta of Ball State University" on the Jumbotron. Oh well, good times had by all. Kinda sucked that Shawn's car has no radio because some jackass stole it. Seriously, who thieves anything from a '93 Buick Century? There are some bastards in this world.
Sunday:
Not gonna lie. The only thing that I remember from Sunday is going to Applebee's with Brittney. Chicken fajita rollup...still kicks ass even across the border. Yes Ryan, I am such a dad. I know. Good times, good convo, love spending time with that there girl :-).
Monday:
Another fun day of no classes until 6:30 PM. Comm 210 actually went by pretty fast for a 3 hour class. We talked about the Pacer/Piston fight because hey, we're in Indiana, that issue hasn't been beat to death yet. Uhhhh...riiiiiiight. I said that as ridiculous as it was, the players are at their job and working when they're on the court. That's how they earn a living. I asked my prof how he would feel if someone dumped a cup of beer on him when he was teaching. He told me that as an educator, he has the legal right to fight back to a certain extent. I'm pretty sure that he missed my point completely...wait...I'm sure he did. I wasn't talking to him personally, but rather a general "you." How would YOU feel if someone disrupted you at work like that whether you're a teacher, preacher, McDonald's worker, or Donald Trump himself. Ah well, doesn't matter.
Tuesday:
That's today right? Yeah. Yes, I know that it's 2:00 AM on Wednesday. Once again, suck it smartass. Allison wasn't at History today which sucked. So many people in there, so boring for the most part. The fact that our Harley Davidson obsessed teacher has yet to wear anything other than all black is either really creepy or really badass...haven't figured that one out yet. Sported the leather pants today with a David Bowie shirt. No comment. Anthro: Nothing boring. Astronomy: People complained that the simple math problem was too hard. Prof responded by electing to not grade that problem and then reassured us "You are all good people no matter what. It's just that some of you won't be working for NASA." Dreams crushed today: 1. He later called us "beautiful people" later on in class. I don't know if dude is turning into Rudy Galindo (gay figure skater, not the same as a dirty gillespie which I strongly recommend NOT looking up on urbandictionary.com...you've been warned...I assume no responsibility if you do any further investigating) or Marylin Manson (he wrote a song called Beautiful People...get with it). Came back and chilled for a while. Laura came up and unloaded the quote of the day. No, quote of the year. "Eric! Because of you I was masturbating all day!" At first I was flattered, then confused, then cracked up with laughter. If any of you saw my away message earlier today (which at least 5 of you did), you'll know that if you clicked on the link, it changed your AM to "Masturbating...brb :-)" Well apparently, it took Laura a little longer than most people to realize this. Hilarity ensued. At least I thought it was funny. For the record, Brad got punked twice in 2 days by that. Thought I'd throw that in there. Other big thing I did today: Chewed out adidas. OK listen future fashion designers (Lee, this means you), if you're going to design a shoe, make sure that it doesn't cause your customers' ankles to bleed. The adidas Men's Promodel 2G (Black/White/White) shoes. Worst. Shoes. Ever. Single most uncomfortable things ever worn on my feet. Excerpts from my e-mail:
I received the shoes last week, and I was immediately impressed by the look of them in person. That's about where anything positive about the shoe ended.
After wearing them around for a week from class to class, I now have identical cuts on both of my ankles from where the shoe jabbed into my skin. There is even a little blood, consequently, on the inside of the right shoe.
These are hands down, without a doubt, the most uncomfortable pair of footwear that I have ever owned in my life. What kind of testing procedures do adidas shoes go through before being put out on the market? Do people actually wear the shoes?
Thank you for your time, and I encourage you to test your shoes a little more thoroughly before selling to (and injuring) the public.
Who wants to bet I don't get a reply from these bastards? Note to self: Never stray from Nike. Yeah they're usually expensive (although I bought a pair today for $30), but dammit they're worth it. Reeboks fall apart, and adidas just isn't thinking or testing their products anymore.
Anywho, we had another basketball game tonight. FIJI vs. D-bags errrrrrrrrrr....Sig Ep. Final Score: 41-35 in favor of the good guys. Always good to beat those tools even if it was their weak team and a practice game. Eric = still hasn't regained his shot. Yeah...still working on that. It may come in handy later in the season.
Aight hopefully that was enough to hold you people (and by you people I mean Ryan) over for a bit. I'm out like Cecil Fielder stealing (Baseball reference...The 240 lbs. Fielder had 2 stolen bases in 1470 career games).
