Pro Walking Argument #42: In Indiana the construction signs are so big that I can walk under them without having to duck at all.
Lyrics of the Day: Chop that wood, carry water; what's the sound of one hand clapping? Englightenment - Van Morrison

Earthquakes, teaching, and hookah.
Pro Walking Argument #42: Sometimes you get to listen to friends try to convince other friends to cheat on their girlfriends with classy lines including, but not limited to, "I mean do you really see yourself marrying and spending the rest of your life with Allison".
One of the entrances to Academy Park. One of the more subtly cool areas of campus, Academy Park is engineered to amplify and create sound so if you stand at the middle and clap you can hear it echo. The berms are trimmed and maintained at optimal level for this kind of feedback. Today's song goes out to Kentapalooza.
Lyrics of the Day: Thirty grand, to the highest bidder but Chris Rock said, 'There's no sex in the champagne room'. Perfect Gentleman - Wyclef Jean

Today the San Diego Padres retired the number of all time saves leader and all around good man Trevor Hoffman. To anyone who has grown up in San Diego you know how much this man means to our baseball program and city. It was a bittersweet ceremony filled with lots of childhood memories for me. Trevor Time we miss you and wish you look. Of course there can only be one song today.
It feels weird eating a burger at 4:30 am at the same place my parents ate the morning of their wedding. Sorry for the picture mom but google returns like a thousand results on you so I figure it's ok. You still fail the asshole test though (for anyone who cares my mom likes to google her name plus bad things to see if it returns any results).
There's no pause button in life but at least I get to be Michael Jordan and Adrian Gonzalez for a year. Kobe Bryant will have to wait. These are the "flowers" that my parents got me for my birthday.
A giant hayride type shuttle that rolls around campus. Plans are already in the works to steal and ghostride it.
Lyric of the day: And you know all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines. Blue Carolina - Alkaline Trio

A little hard to see but a giant model of my new city/campus that lives in the union. My apartment complex is even on there but it's impossible to see in a picture.
Lyrics of the Day (and overall awesome album): When I'm weak I draw strength from you, and when you're lost I know how to change your mood. Zero 7 - Destiny
Meowthville has officially come out of hibernation after a year long winter. There haven't been a lot of constants in my life lately but other than death and taxes the one thing that we can all count on is Windows being terrible. Even airport departure computers get blue screens. Guess I'm a Boilermaker now.
