I want to take that whale home with me now. It would be a cool pet.

Maybe you could train it to jump over you while you stand on a rock-bar?

I was at the place that was filmed not too long ago. Those guys weren't there though.

In order to control prison populations, I came up with a solution. From now on, automotive companies should no longer use fake dummies for crash tests. Instead, they should use inmates who are on life sentences.

I'm pretty sure AT&T is the most incompetent company in America, if not the world. Five times they've been called about a billing mistake and all 5 times it was "corrected" over the phone, which of course by their standards means it was not corrected at all. Today I got another "oops looks like you forgot to pay" letter and almost punched a wall. It's been 3 months, I'm pretty sure they're just ****ing with me now. It's a $100 mistake and I'm thinking it's worth it to pay just to make this go away. But that's exactly what they want me to think! I can't let them win!

Cox Cable decided to change all the HD channels today. Now I have to go through my guide and reset my DVR.

Re: Off Topic 2011

So, here I am in the school library for quite possibly the last time ever. My final class is tonight and then I have offically completed my MBA. I'm so relieved and excited, but also nervous about the future. When I entered this program a year ago it felt good to be back in the comfort of an education setting and out of the frustrations of looking for a job in the market. But now I'm back out there again and I'm still a bit worried, even with my increased credentials. Luckily with the passage of time, I have friends and family who have improved their career positions and are now able to help me out with some connections and such.

Already today I've heard from my uncle who lives in Cali and he set me up with an opportunity to speak to a recruiter from his company, even if it is just for advice, seeing as how I'm not sure I'd be willing to move out to Cleveland for any opportunities they may have for me. Also, I sent my resume to two of my friends who will be passing it along within their respective companies and to people they may know. But even with all this recent activity in my job search, it's still nerve wracking to be back in the mode of applications and interviews. But I'm pretty confident in my ability to be successful so I just have to express that confidence outwardly during my interactions with managers and recruiters.

Oh yeah, and after class tonight I'm heading straight to Maine to meet up with some of my family who is on vacation up there until Saturday. Anyway sorry for the long winded story but I felt like I had to share my feelings about all this stuff going on.

Edit: As I was typing this one of my friends actually referred me to a person she knows who can help me out as well. Man, this is almost overwhelming but it is certainly great to know that my friends and fam have my back.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I'm so not used to sleeping in this new house. I don't have one of those rumble alarms for deaf people (maybe I should get one) so I depend on the light of the morning to wake me up. The problem is, where my room is situated the light doesn't come fully through.

I'll have to ask one of my parents to open my door as that's a good barometer for me that it's time to get up.

Syracuse U is the new #12 party school in the country. I dont know how to feel. I always thought SU parties were lame as hell.

Yeah who knew broadcasters could party it up?

(I know it's more than just a broadcast school but that's the rep SU has)

Where's Radford? If it's not #1, I'm sure they'll riot.

Or drink enough to kill small elephants. Either or.

I forgot but I know Georgia was dethroned as number one in the country.

Edit: University of Ohio is number one
