Bigger and better things

Ever since the blogger update I haven't had much time to really update this page. So, instead of feigning interest in blogger I have decided to move on to Tumblr.

New name, new look, same grab bagging and general bullshit (also happens to be my moto for the 2010 ND Football season, ZINGER!)

Update your sidebars, RSS feeds, etc. I doubt NewSchool gets much more play time, but ya never know....

Onward...
Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?

White Boy Fresh

A roommate and I have a new blog in the works, relating to hip-hop and Mrs. Harding-esque explications. Been done before (and probably better than we will do) but like all drunken plans, they sound great until you wake up in the morning. So blogga's (esp those on the far east coast *cough *SNEEEZZEEE*... summer allergies...quite the bitch) stick me to this.

P.S.

If you haven't listened to Sockcast yet then subscribe and please don't report us.

What I'm Not

I'm not as blog-dedicated as this guy.

Not as creative/original/talented with the typed-word as this girl.

Not as outlandish, outgoing, or brutally honest as this rad dude (can't say I haven't tried though)

My blog isn't as fun to look at as this one.

I don't keep a running bucket-list for the whole world to see. Not because I'm against the idea. I love the idea and I do have one buried deep in a sock drawer, or a backpack, or.... fuck where is my bucket list? I don't post it because I know myself well enough to know I have trouble sticking to things, whether it be spoken, written, or signed in blood. As the months remaining draw thin I'm proving myself correct again. Kudos to this guy. And the frosh.

I'm also not using my blog to persue a specific topic, as the kraze does so consistently well. And in a totally different but equally compelling way, the aprodite.





In the end, my little home-away-from-home on the interwebz reflects my real dwelling place pretty well. Jack of all trades. Master of Nothing. I never seem to be here as much as I want and when I am here more often than not it is for a fleeting moment. A post-it note on the door reminding me to turn the air conditioning down or check the cat's litter box before I go to __________. Lot's of poop/pee/dick jokes. Not enough substance. As the greatest English teacher I will ever have would say to me without fail," Too much telling, not enough showing."

[This is usually the paragraph where I promise to "do better" and post more often with more quality. Maybe the school year will bring a renewed passion for my telling of all things mundane/nonsensical, but for now I'm pretty meh. In the mean time, do what I do and read these blogs. They are what I am not.

Good

















Before shit gets too depressing....






I bare thee farewell with one last parting gift:

Confession: some girl I talked to on AIM a few times back in high school would always call me Joey Ramone. She was a friend of a friend and we never actually met in person, but I grew pretty fond of the nickname. It had a certain hip, edgey, five-years-past-pop-culture-relevance-but-still-powerful type of je nous se qua to it. I still like it and any time I see a picture of Joey or hear the Ramones for one quick second I flash back to her.

Moral: If you don't want me to remember you, don't give me a good nickname.

I'm still alive

Livin life hardcore. If pictures are worth 1000 words, consider this the longest fucking post I have ever (and probably ever will) "write."

In semi-chronological order

The Lake:


ARGHHH MATEY




The nephew and I. He just learned to crawl in this picture so I would call him over to me (rather enthusiastically) then he would climb up, and we would have an awkward stare for a second. He would then continue on his way.




My brother-in-law and I sitting outside the wonderful trailer-by-the-lake meeting people as they walked by. A nice group of cougars drove by on a golf cart and threw us candy, parade-style.




On the boat with my boat hat. Also pictured: Sister.




Father and Son


Dayton:


Country party up in Dayton. I'm now in the market for a nice cowboy hat... because I make it look DAMN good. (^Exhibit A^)


The Great Outdoors:


A few pictures from a spur of the moment Sunday hike through some woods. I'm still dying to get out backpacking again. I really need to find some time for this (it's kind of hard/pointless to fit it in a small weekend trip).




Hike part 2


Empire State of Mind:


Four of the greatest (semi) eligible bachelors on this side of the Atlantic. This particular picture is taken outside of 30 Rock during a weekend trip up to NYC.




Last but far from least, one image of one of the most memorable weekends of the summer, and probably one of the most memorable of my life. Inside the original Coyote Ugly. Yes, THAT Coyote Ugly



Worry not, I still intend on blogging. This summer is just particularly crazy what with working 2 jobs and trying to get out and about a little too. So far so good.
