newly an uncle.

so my brother and his wife finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl on thursday. i am not much for babies and did not hold her while i saw her. but my brother seemed happy so that is all that matters. i have been working more often than not lately and today was my first day off that i did nothing. i did not feel like going to any bbq's today but i believe i am going to one tomorrow night. i need to start finding more beers' that i like or to try. i wish i could just buy single beers to try and then purchase a ton if i wanted to. i have been watching the food network all day and i wish i could bbq like them, i also want to brew beer for a living i feel like that would be such a kick ass job. circuit city has been blowing more than normal lately. i feel like i do most of the work and rarely get credit. but whatever.

bored on a tuesday

well this week has not been all that great. i have been relatively bored all day everyday. i should do something productive like read or pack my stuff. but i don't feel like it. yesterday was cinco de mayo aka a drunk day with drinking starting at 12ish. it was pretty fun, but the labbats gave me a large headache even before i went to sleep at 12. whatever. im bored.

no longer all political.

i have decided although i am a political science major that this blog need not to be strictly political but should reflect my thoughts at the time. i went to toronto to visit casey (anna's sister) this week and i spent 5 days there. i went to niagra falls for the third time and it gets better every single time. i love how beautiful the falls are and how peaceful the rushing water always is. i had very little money so not many things were done that i wanted to do. i have never been to the American side of the falls although the view from the Canadian side is simply breath taking. i also tried to make myself like a local trying different Canadian beers and different food. i will tell you this though, i hate that i can only get beer at two places. however, i loved the selection at L.C.B.O. i found a beer that i had been wanting for a few months called buzz beer, which was brewed with hemp. it was very delicious but i tasted no hemp in the beer and it did not give a smell of it either. i also had buzz beer's sister beer the cool beer. was not horrible tasting but nothing out of the ordinary for me. i also had 2 other Canadian beers but the name of these beers escapes me. i also tried Newcastle for the first time. i loved it i found it delicious and in a good correlation with the Detroit Lager. i am also out of school and had my best semester by far. i had a 3.17 which without my c- in a stupid class lead by a stupid cunt, i would have had an amazing semester. i am unsure if i want to take a summer class. i have thought about it thoroughly yet am still indecisive because of the monetary situation. that is all for now. but i hope to update more soon.

into the wild

on my trip to toronto this past week i did not do much. mostly because i had no money and it was a spur of the moment type of trip. however, i did watch an amazing movie called into the wild. at first glance this movie seemed as though it could be dull and boring as the first few minutes passed i found myself thinking could this be like castaway? does Alex need a wilson? however, to my amazement i found that this movie was not so much like a movie that a man talked to himself but a journey through life. although his past seemed trouble this boy became a man in a journey to release himself from the world his parents had created. i found that this movie was simply amazing. it kept my attention the entire time and i felt that the soundtrack composed by eddie vedder was simply astonishing. this movie was an extremely sad movie in that the ending almost brought tears to my eyes. i felt that sean penn although not my favorite actor by far directed a great movie with great acting. i hope to be able to read the book very soon and wish i could mold my life like this man.
