I wish i always had more wine on Halloween...
Only Keith would appreciate this one:
Corky St. Clair is in the class across from me every Monday in the Arts and Sciences Building. makes me laugh aloud.

Tell me again why the City of Mansfield has to shut down half the streets in town for a Halloween parade? Seriously, it me 20 minutes to navigate the butthole insanity. I did however score the cds i wanted to check out and ALSO paid my fines.
Keith says, "hey, i'm starting a new photo project 'humans.' Come over and take off your clothes, blah, blah, blah."
Well, I say just come on over and take your clothes off. You know, you don't need to work to be naked, just hang.
PS:
Primetime Lebronasaurus starts tonight.

Three Cheers for pheromones!
i've increased my chances of getting a job by applying at Target and Dick's Sporting Goods (yes, the place i said i wouldnt visit for another 9 months AND no, not dicks.com, nelly!)
i've also come close to reaching terms on a 1-year contract with my old OSU-Mansfield indoor soccer club. Press Conference tomorrow.

Mega Dittos to:
keith, his coffee, and his designated driving.
Reflection:
Marky has commented on a few of my posts and in one of his comments he asks if i am 90 years old or something. Marky, are you talking about my fly fishing aspirations? If you are, this rod and my fishing hole is closed to you.

this afternoon consisted of exploring (nature, NOT sexuality), tree climbing (is there a professional name for that?), depressing industrial photo safari (bikinis would've been a plus), and a COFFEE HOUND mug for a $.
Dinner at Aunt Ruth's was pretty tight given that there was plenty of garlic bread and throwing a tennis ball at a dog that caught everything.
Flyfishing tomorrow, get hookt!
IF i could remember my FTP server address, i would post pictures here.

To the dude who jumped off Niagara Falls:
Consider yourself to be the luckiest man alive and i am not even referring to that bad-ass leap of faith into the cascade. I am talking about the fact that you will never be allowed to enter Canada ever again. NEVER. You now live a life that many of us can only dream about.
Sincerely,
Jason A. Metzger

to the golf department employee at DICK'S Sports:
Don't chastise me for never have being in your store before. Yes, i live in Mansfield but NO i don't waste my time browsing for things i can't afford. it'll probably be another 9 months before i go in there again.

Jason Metzger: Sell-Out?
Yesterday things in CLB went surprisingly well actually. I gave out all of my resumés, collected cool "free" stuff, and all of it funded on someone else's dollar (Mom & Dad). the companies i met were all pretty cool and i could've had a job interview on the spot with Hilti, Inc. but there was a catch...
...I decided to flee after pondering the question, "Would you be willing to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma?" Me going out there would not make some special girls happy.
Coffee is ready and i have a birthday cake to bake. my problem is finding someone to get inside the cake.
Goran posted, yes. But did his post pack "umph"? no.

I now find myself scrambling to attend a Career Day at OSU due to a last minute announcement from my sister and a STRONG endorsement from my parents. ugh.
By last minute i mean 11am TOMORROW
Dinner with Reggie and Dori was quite the experience at the Outback. I recommend the Chumbawumba pasta. the blooming onion has just carried out an Al-Qaeda-ish attack on my digestive system.
PS:
If i send you an email... don't write me back and rudely tell me that my font is too small and almost not worth reading.

~So White Morpheus failed to wear his Browns jersey today to class. i think he's a fair weather fan b/c he's only worn his GEAR when they are winning.
~The essay Keith and I addressed to Nick Pfeiffer and Peter Sabo should put us in the driver's seat and them in the Akron area soon.
~Keith made a good Dorothy St. 4: Foreshadow mix cd.
~Look for Palomar File: Rough Six soon.
~ Same here, if somebody wants a mix-something, post your comment BELOW.
ADVICE for 10/20/03: don't automatically anticipate Marianne Katanic being downstairs and ready for your late-night arrival; you'll cross paths with the Dad. ALONE.

the song that is stuck in my head: Holidae Inn by Chingy
contrast that to the song in Keith's head: Shake your tailfeather by Nelly, etc.
Leaving for Akron in 30m means that i expect to get my rental deposit back tonight from SAMMY, seeing Keith and company, and wearing my KiJana Carter Bengals jersey class*
* - it's a big deal b/c the guy next to me wears a Browns jersey every Monday to class and this guy attempt to be Mr. I-Know-More-Than-The-Professor does not amuse me nor does his resemblance to the Matrix's Morpheus (only he's white).

Call it a Sports Weekend and call me Home Alone.
The littlest sister and I had ourselves a parent-sponsored dinner & movie this evening, taking in Finding Nemo and Applebee's. Other than that I really don't have anything to report on. Watched plenty of football but didn't see Ohio State win (not that i cared - after all, they are NOT the Zips). My humour here as of late has been virtually non-existant proving my life so far to date has not been interesting.
Not having a job and barely going to school feels too much like retirement. Spooky stuff.
Sarah Thomas wanting me to drive up to Canton 11 o'clock at night is even spookier stuff.

i've been meaning to post my thoughts on the movie Punch Drunk Love
yes, it was a good movie, but not good. Emily Watson is adorable and Adam Sandler decent but i lacked to feel the entire film's vibe. granted it wasn't supposed to be funny, i did laugh at a few things but i have no clue as to why Keith insisted that Phillip Seymour Hoffman's charater was hilarious. I recommend the film but give it only an 84%, flat-line "B"

i need my sister to be truant from school more often therefore i have someone to make me lunch until go into a nursing home or the army.
calling Kristin via 800 number was the highlight of the day although she never did call me back... KRISTIN.
The RedSox are classic nutsacks. mega-ditto Cubs

watching the Marlins win gives me the idea that i/we need to have champagne showers on a more regular basis.

sleeping 11 hours on a floor is therapeutic.
sweating in the computer lab is not.
keith and jess took me to Luigi's last night. now don't get me wrong, it was good food but i thought the price for my baked raviolli was a bit high for the size of the portion. if i had more money last night (as in "sammy-don't-cancel-your-meeting-with-us-tonight-so-you-don't-have-to-pay-us-our-rent-deposit-from-5-months-ago") i would've had the pizza. a LARGE pizza.
In Madden 2001 news, Keith's Eagles beat my Steelers 50-36. HB, Der Werewolf still ran incredibly awesome.

i learned eucalyptus (sp?) is the koala equivalent to marijuana; that's why they sleep 18 hrs a day.
camping on dorthy st. tomorrow night should be a real treat

i can finally breathe a sigh of relief for Ohio State has finally run out of gas. i knew they were going to lose but i was hoping it was the IOWA game (that's what i had predicted as the first loss. rats). Randy Freund made the right call for the Wisconsin game. hey, he bleeds scarlet and gray.
i formatted my group's paper and did my part as well yesterday and today. the end result: 28 pages in all and me correcting way to many grammatical errors. i am not going to school to become an english teacher people.

Int'l Management has fried my brain for the evening. Michigan might have done the comeback, beating Minnesota tonight. for some odd reason, i've watched four really good pro/college games in the past week.
PS Keith, i talked to Dori today for about 10 minutes and she sounds like she wants to party Thanksgiving week in Arizona. score.

COMMENTS SECTION UP NOW!!!
yes, at the end of every post, YOU can toss in your two cents and tell me why you hug/hate me (PS "comments" is right below the dateline).*
*- give keith the credit for finding comments add-on.
yesterday's visit to the UA darkroom was productive. kudos to mr. and mrs. freund for the photo paper! ask yourself, what could be better than a Georg Pfeiffer 8x10?
why i love the mansfield library
getting to overhear conversations in the audio/video section...
a brief excerpt from a conversation of two men, early 30's, rednecks.
dude 1 (short hair) - hey didnt you go to Madison High?
dude 2 (long hair) - yeh man i did
D1 - you didnt graduate with us did you?
D2 - hell no. i got kicked out for smoking up in Mrs. _________'s class.
after the small talk the two men starting talking "life." by life, i mean women...
D1 - i'm getting a divorce. when you meet someone 9 yrs younger than you, you don't pass that up... i'll be getting my license back in a couple months. my old lady told me, "you need me." i said, " i just spent $3000 in lawyer's fees, i'm getting this divorce."
D2 - shit man, i'm still married... haven't seen my old lady in seven years though... last time i saw her she tried to poison me.
needless to say, i stuck around listening in on what trouble women are and how bad it's gotten at Madison Jr. High.

i scored pretty big today at the library. some good selections of heavy metal have been checked out by me. Iron Maiden's number of the beast is so hot!
speaking of hot, i sure worked the sweat today aerating the lawn (you know, plugging the lawn which makes it look like there's thousands of turds all over the place)
i did fail however in getting a haircut, doing my schoolwork, and fixing the sweeper.
i'll sound like marky when i say this... but last night's MNF game, Colts vs. Bucaneers was so awesome.

Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy fame was a spy i am convinced. Tigers have an accute sense of awareness towards espionage activites. Hence when given the "go-ahead" from senior intelligence officials, Montecore, the adorable 7 yr old tiger who had managed to infiltrate the spectacualar Vegas show of lights and magic, executed his take-down assault with extreme prejudice on his "supposed" trainer. It was a failed attempt however, as Roy is expected to survive and Montecore was captured. The CIA has denied any involvement to the attack claiming it was "a terribly unfortunate event."
Montecore was later seen eating Rally's with three unidentified, beared men of middle-asian descent.

the INTERNET doesn't sleep but the UA server does. case in point, see the non-existant picture below. i know as soon as i post this, the server will be back and the picture of Georg surfs up Pfeiffer will be there. go fish when it comes to dealing with state colleges.
SATURDAY
it had been a very quiet weekend here. saturday night was/should've been an all-out drunk fest. come to think about it, it was an Oktoberfest that i went to last night. Wallypalooza was pretty great with free food and beer. yes, i made sure to get full before i tasted the pilsner. i didnt want to start saying things i'd later regret. my potential job networking introduction took a wrong turn when Ms. Jane McKean of First Merit Bank ended up being drunk off the tequila and had no idea who i was. Wally said i could've had HER job with her state of being.
SUNDAY
Browns over Steelers.
my eighth consecutive golf melt-down.
horrible night's sleep.
DREAM
they keep continuing. a week straight with a dream every night. last night had me being part of a back-up dance team for some pop band. i was late getting on stage and did not know the dance moves. i think i was the only white dancer. making move improvisations things went ok especially with our big finale dramatically jumping off the stage! the weird thing about the dream was that i was in the old Ontario High School auditorium and i was all worried about finding a seat after our performance. must've been a talent show i was in. note: lots of kids i knew in high school were there.
my high school past keeps nipping at my heels... saw Brian Buck Clark at Wal-Mart saturday.

keith was kidnapped last night too. don't worry, it was only a dream or was it?
call me a loser if you want, but i am sitting here drinking my coffee watching the women's world cup, Canada vs. China.
best word ever: vagile
