When Osama Bin Laden Died

When Osama Bin Laden died, he was met at the pearly gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try and destroy the nation I helped concieve!"

Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!"

James Madison followed, kicked him the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense."

Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."

The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Madison, and nearly 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader.

As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me."

The angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in heaven. What did you think I said?"

I guess this is how I feel sometimes. Funny picture to me though =P Trying to be such a badass never felt so strange.

Been job hunting lately, its hard to find a job for four to six weeks before I make my move up to Chicago (which can't be soon enough). Its also weird seeing my roomies all leaving. Jon left, Chris practically left, so now its just Mike and I. Plus I've had this place alone for the last couple of days which was nice and quiet.

Oh, if any of you haven't, check out the HBO series Carnivale. Its one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Set in the thirties depression dust bowl era (what a jumble of words), its a great series.

What else? Nothing is coming to mind right now. I guess I'm in one of those blog funks, not really updating it as often as I should.

Peace

Long time gone

Well, its been a long time since I've updated this. I don't know, sometimes I go on these funks where I just don't feel like sharing anything with anybody, not that I have much of an audience on the blog. It's probably no good, but I'm due for a nice long update anyways with some pics as well. Where should I start? I will just go backwards.

So last night I got to spend the night with Kristin (spelled it right this time) which was nice. More on that in a bit. The Ice Dogs had our final game of the season last night, it was the final game and we ended up playing probably our best game of the season against an excellent goalie. We got a goal in the first thirty seconds and never looked back to a 6-0 win. A lot of our friends were there in the stands to give us support too which was great, the confidence boost is a real plus. Also my first shutout on the ice with these guys so I felt good afterwards, will admit I was thinking about it today. KK was there as well as Jess and Alice, so it was a good time. Before the game we all had burgeres and wieners (hyuk hyuk hyuk) at Kevin's. What a great season, couldn't have come together better any better.

Last week I went up to Chicago to look at apartments. Thursday morning/afternoon I took the bus up to the city and went to see two apartments. The next day I saw three before taking the greyhound back to Urbana at night. It was along day hopping on different trains and busses all over the city, but what an adventure! I was so nervous the night before thinking, "What the hell am I doing, I've never been up there and now I'm going alone AND using mass transit, I'm going to get lost and get stuck, blah blah blah" and then it was amazing. The city is great, very alive, but also very big and hectic. I'm anxious about moving there. Also met the City Year people and they were really great and gave me a lot of confidence about what I'll be doing next year. I doubted myself at first, wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing but now I'm starting to feel a lot better about it. The more I think about it, I think I'm doing the right thing and helping people out in a way that I can.

On to other things.... so around beginning of April I made friends with Kristin at the rink. I will say that after my relationship with Rachel ended I wasn't really actively looking for anybody. I wasn't too happy with things and was trying to figure out my life, get a job, settle down a little bit. I got that, and then just thought that I probably shouldn't start dating anybody because it would just suck for both of us with both me moving to Chicago soon and the semester ending soon.

So yea, that went down the drain =P Not really sure how it happened, but it was very fast (to me it seemed pretty fast). I like it, I think she does too, and its going to suck when we go our separate ways. We'll try and see eachother as often as we can. I just wish I had met her sooner, but then I don't know if I would have been ready to see anybody else with my life where it was. Things are so much better now than they were a few months ago and I think I feel very comfortable with the two of us.

So much going through my head right now, and I don't know what to write down.
