Today I came home for some good ol' Thanksgiving dinner, possibly my favorite meal of all time. Watching the Lions get whooped on today I was disappointed, then they started to rally a comeback, but then fell short so I was again disappointed. Even though they lost, I still found some things today that I am thankful for. For starters, my family, well because I love them. Two, I get to go to Florida in a couple of weeks for Christmas to visit my sisters, nieces and nephews. In case anyone was wondering, yes, I do plan on teaching my nephews, possibly my niece depending on how far her talking has come along, the Oh-Eh. I will get pictures and post them on here, don't worry. Something else I'm very thankful for are my friends. Most especially my camp friends. Such as MLA, KMFP, Dump, McBest, Daddy, Kit, Gallagher, the girl he calls Yank, many more. Even the one most people think I shouldn't be thankful for anymore or appreciate. Well, if you know me, I still am thankful, and I still do appreciate. I'm also thankful that one of my best friends from childhood, David, is back on leave from Iraq and I get to hang out with him tomorrow. Unfortunately, he is going back for a couple more years, starting Saturday. I'll miss him of course and be worried, but hey, he is doing what he wants. I've known this guy since I was about 5 and ever since I've known him he has been obsessed with the army. Everytime we would go over his house he would dress up in camo and want to play army, a majority of halloweens he would go as a soldier. I know people always in their childhood say they want to be a pro athlete, or an actor, or president when they grow up. That never happens. But with him, it did, he always said he wanted to be in the army, and he stuck with it. For that I am proud of him. I don't support the war or anything it stands for, but I will sure as hell support my friend when he is over there. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Brand Spankin' New Post!
I realized last night that bars are good for more than just getting drunk and playing pool and stuff. You learn quite a few things. For starters "Rockstar" by nickelback is quite possibly one of the top 5 terrible songs in history. On the otherside "Don't Stop Believin'" is one of the top 5 best songs in history. Also, I'm pretty shitty at pool, I have my moments, but not too great. Also, if anyone remembers the racist girl who is friends with my roommates and started stuff with Dump a while back, I learned a lot about her last night. Not in a good way. I heard such quotes come from her mouth as "If he wants me to break up with my boyfriend of a year and a half and HE isn't going to dump his girlfriend of 3 months, then that is bullshit" and (talking about another guy) "I can't believe him, he always just comes over and has fun and stuff with me having sex and shit, then just leaves me to go home to his wife, what an asshole!" HOW ARE MY ROOMMATES FRIENDS WITH THIS GIRL. I've known them for a long time and they are not that way, and this girl only causes problems everytime she comes over because she is a racist slut with terrible anger management issues. I don't get it. This weekend was quite a good one. Friday Em Leon and C-Dow had a kegger at their place and I have to say it was great times. We all know McBest had a great time, he made out with a girl and got her number, then woke up later from a dead sleep to get up and attempt to pee on their windows in the living room. Good thing we and MLA were watching T.V. and I realized once I heard the zipper what exactly he was planning on doing. Then we wake up around 10 am to get to Evan's tailgate. McBest rolled his ankle somehow and was still really drunk so he didn't want too go so we went just Kit, MLA, Em Leon, and I. We met Haas at Evan's tailgate, bonged a couple beers, hugged Evan, cooked burgers and ate cheese balls then went to taco bell. Good Times. Get back to the apartment and played some more beer pong against C-Dow and Nikki because there was still a bit of beer in the keg. Oh also. We watched the Buckeyes of Ohio State not only beat the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House, but hold the to 91 yards of total offense in the Big house while OSU running back Beanie Wells had 222 yards by himself with Michigan's collective team could only gain 91, pathetic. Welp, that about sums up my weekend and Monday. Nothing too great but I figured since I haven't posted in here in a while I was over due. So enjoy my life. Oh, also we are having a kegger here at my place tonight so that should hopefully result in something worth posting on here. If anyone in the AA area reads this by tonight and wants to come just let me know! It shall be a great time.

Sometimes I even amaze myself
I think this is a post that MLA will appreciate because, well, she knows the story already. I had a paper due on Tuesday, 6 pages, requiring a semesters worth of research on the world's overuse of oil. I forgot the paper was due on Tuesday, so I was rather surprised when I got to class and she was collecting them. She came to me and asked me if I had my paper. Now for some reason my teacher has this unbelievable faith in me and thinks I am the greatest writer she has ever taught. She has told me many times, it's ok Adam, I've seen your work, I trust you to get me an A quality assignment in, just take your time. So of course when she asked me I was honest with him and said No, I don't have my paper. She just smiled and said OK. Now my plan was to go to the library yesterday to work on it after I got out of class but when I got out of class I couldn't be bother to do anything for the rest of the day so I just went home and Dump came over and I gave him a whoopin in Madden as usual. Then my plan was to just wake up a few hours earlier this morning and come to class early to get my paper done. Well my roommates convinced me and Dump to play beer pong last night (we dominated and went 4-1 by the way) so needless to say we got pretty drunk. So I had my alarm set for 8 am, alarm rings, I don't want to get up. 9 am rolls around, I get up and take a shower, leave my apartment at 930, my class is at 11. I get here and rush to the computer lab where my class takes place, and there is another class in there so I can't go in early, I figure I'm screwed and contemplate skipping class. Dump says, well lets just go to the library. We go, get a computer and none of them have word, what the fuck? So we go upstairs to the computer lab in the library and finally get a computer that has word. It is now 10 am, I have an hour. So I put my iPod on so some (Hed) P.E. and start churning out the greatest paper ever imagined. I did a semesters worth of research and typed it into 6 pages in less than an hour. Let me just say, it's an A paper! So MLA, I reclaim my crown as the king of procrastination, I guess you can be the queen of procrastination since you're a girl, but still, I'm the best.

Welp, I'm an idiot!
Atleast when I am drunk anyway. Yesterday in class, Kit comes to me and suggests we get drunk and play Halo that night. Then I suggest we make it into a drinking game, we both agree. Seeing as our class is a joke, I just take that time to write up some rules. Needless to say, my rules got us all fucked up. So Kip, Gallagher, and Superman Artichoke are playing and decided we are hungry. Someone yells, "NOT GETTING DOMINOS" so we all put our fingers on our noses, being drunk we can't decide who lost so we kept redoing it until they realized their are frozen pizzas in the freezer. I lost the nose game on that one but didn't care because I was hungry as hell so I got up and put it into the oven. After playing a couple of games we go to get the pizza out. I'm taking it out of the oven with my oven mit, Kit says something funny(for once) so I start laughing and the pizza slips off of the tray and I decide it would be a good idea to try to catch it with the tray, using both hands. Of course my left hand didn't have an oven mit on it. Being drunk, it takes me about 10 seconds with a 400 degree pan in my hand to realize I am in terrible pain. So I throw the pan down, they are all in the way of the sink so I turn around and grab Milo Jr's "bad kitty" spray bottle and start spraying the shit out of my hand, while screaming because I am drunk. Finally get to the sink and just sit with my hand under running water, I can hear them playing Halo again so I got bored and decided to just grab an ice cube from the freezer and just hold onto it while I play. That didn't work because everytime I let go of the ice cube I would play for 10 seconds then it would start to burn like hell again. Wasn't a good night. Driving home sucked without ice or a cup of water, luckily holding my hand out the window worked. As I woke up today, I noticed the giant blisters have finally appeared on every single one of my left hand fingers. That ladies and gentlemen is why I am an idiot.

The Big Game.
The big game is this weekend. My Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines. I'm not going to talk trash, because Michigan isn't a bad team. I know there is a chance they could upset Ohio State. But I just don't think it is going to happen. Here is why. Michigan is TERRIBLE when it comes to defending against a quarterback that can run, and although he isn't known for it, OSU QB Toddy B. showed that he can and will run when he needs to. So watch out Michigan D. Now, Michigan's offense against OSU's defense. Chad Henne is not expected to play as far as I know, so they are in trouble there. Mike Hart I admit is a beast, but then again so is OSU's defense. Led by Middle Linebacker James Laurinaitis. For those of you who don't know who he is, maybe you would better know him as Former WWF Tag Team Champion Road Warrior Animal's son. That alone should tell you he is actually an animal. Now onto their receivers, well receiver, Mario Manningham. He is good, but who is going to throw to him? Is Michigan's backup QB going to be able to handle the pressure of the Buckeye defense? I don't think so, but who knows? I'm no expert. That, my friends, is all I'm going to say on the game. I'm not going to talk trash, just state facts and opinions. Although I am ready to embrace all the trash talk by Michigan fans during the game, and IF OSU loses, I won't retaliate. Good luck and GO BUCKS!

Parents
My parents were/are great. They love me, always have. Always wanted what was best for me and provided a good life for me. Supported me through the good times, and especially through the bad times. But, unfortunately I've never been very close to them. I have never been the type of person to sit down with them and talk about my feelings, what I did in school, or when cool/bad things happen to me. I don't know why, it's not that I hate my parents or anything, I love them. It just wasn't me. I think it is time I changed that. I finally moved away so I don't see them everyday like I used to, now it's once a week if I'm lucky. So I definitely think it is time to grow up, have grown up conversations with my parents and not only look at them as just parents, but as friends. Because even though I didn't talk to them much when I was home, now that I'm gone, I miss them. I'm 21 now, I can go home and have a beer with my dad and watch the Lions, yell at the T.V. with him. I've done it with other peoples' dads, why not do it with my own dad? It's time I invite my parents out to dinner, yea they'll be paying for it, but hey atleast they will then know I want to go out with them. I should call them once in a while, tell them how my day or week went, tell them how school is going, even tell them I love them. I feel like it will change me for the better, and if anyone reading this is the way I used to be, I strongly suggest you follow my lead and do the same with your parents. It will make you feel better.
