I’m Head of the Pack Rat Pack

:.2-Dimensions Are Never Enough.:

Well I have a habit of keeping junk for too long. You know whenever you go to a career fair and every company is giving away free stuff? I make sure I get one of everything; a sewing kit, light up pens, poncho’s inside a football, magnets, even magic eight balls. Not only do I knab up all of the free knick-knacks, I keep them for years. I’m always concerned that someone is going to say, “I think there is something really cool, just out of my viewing range!” And I’ll swoop in and say, “here, borrow my binoculars with a Tyson chicken logo.” For that moment, I’ll be king. But that never happens, and I end up with just too much junk that I can get rid of.

Recently, I moved out of my apartment and decided it was time to throw that crap in the trash. So I did, I cleaned out an entire drawer of it. One of the items I threw away, a pair of the 3D glasses from The Nightmare Before Christmas: In 3D. No big right? Wrong! I turn on my TV tonight, and find out that I Love the 80’s is on, and, in 3D! What are the chances!? Less than a month after throwing away those sweet glasses. I could’ve seen The Noid, Weird Al, and even Michael Ian Black in 3D! Rotten Luck.

:.I’m Gonna Need You to Move that Trike.:

What’s that? Two post’s in two days? You can’t handle it can you? Well, I just wanted to give you this hilarious little nugget.

At our apartment complex, there is covered parking, which you have to pay for if you want your car to not get rained on. People are pretty protective of their spots, in fact, a couple of cars have been towed for parking illegaly in the covered parking. Well, right before dinner, we discovered this:

Someone thought it would be funny to park this old, clunker of a tricycle in a reserved parking spot. We agreed! I really couldn’t resist hopping on the little guy, and taking him for a spin. After a couple of wheelies, burnouts, and stoppies, I parked it back in its spot. Check out the action shot (thank you Steffen for you photography skills).

A Semi-Important Update

:.Let’s Play ‘Catch Up’.:

Way too much has happened since the last time I posted, so I’ll just hit the major topics and we can move on to more important things. Here are the awesome things I’ve done lately:

:.The Reader.:

I read a really awesome book called The Giver. I know what you’re going to say, “Scott, I love that book! I read it when I was in the 8th grade!” Congratulations! So did you and everyone I else I know. Apparently I was out with Cholera, a Broken Leg, Small Pox, or something else I caught by playing too much Oregon Trail in the computer lab, when they read this little gem. Either way, I read it and I loved it. I especially love how they refer to the past as “before there was sameness.” I think that the book is really well written and I feel the author could’ve come up with a way better word than sameness. No?

:.Chicago is for Bulls Lovers.:

Britnee and I went to Chicago for spring break. Actually, I can’t really call it “spring break,” since I’m not in school, and I don’t have a real job. I digress. The trip was really awesome. Here is a quick rundown of the trip:

• Saw 10,000 skyscrapers
• Saw the Chicago River painted green
• Went to Wicked (a Broadway play)
• Went to a Bull’s game
• Spent way too much money, shopping on the Magnificent Mile
• Ate Chicago-style pizza

I have some pretty cool pictures from the trip, but I completely forgot them at home…er my dog at em’…or my alien friend Allen Strange (see image) zapped them with his awesome powers and now they are gone. In any case, I’ll have to post them later.

:.Fake Out of the Year.:

O man, I bet you read the second sentence of the above paragraph and thought, “o man, Scott, you are such a loser, you still don’t have a real job?” Psych!! Man, I wish I could’ve seen the look on your face just now. The truth is, I do have a real job now. I’m not going to mention the company’s name, that way I can post freely and probably not end up in trouble. I’m not sure what the rules are for that, so you’ll just have to take my written word on it. But, I can tell you that I’m a software developer/programmer, and I love it! I don’t have any cool stories as of yet,. Except this, there is a guy who I work with, and his name (I’m pretty sure) is Joe Young. Every time I see him, I want to call him Mighty Joe Young. And I’ll leave you with that.

:.Hand in the Cookie Crisp Box.:

I’m living at home, with my parents, until I can save up a little money and buy a phat pad with like 3 jacuzzis and a gumball machine like at CiCi’s Pizza where there is a water park slide the gum goes on before it gets to you, and if you get a sucky ass flavor, like white, you have to watch in horror as it swirls towards you and you have no control over the situation. What was I talking about? O yeah, I’m living at home. Well the other morning I went in to get cereal, opened the box of Lucky Charms, and immediately realized there wasn’t enough for even half a bowl. I never know what to do in this situation. It’s kind of like finding a dead body. You can,

1. You can tell someone, but they will probably think you did it
2. You can ignore it, and someone will probably think you did it
3. Or if you are their beach house and there is going to be a big party and stuff, you can carry him/her around and pretend like they are alive

The “almost empty box of cereal” is just like that. I don’t want to throw it away, it’s perfectly good food. But I don’t want anyone to see me putting it back, they might say, “hey, don’t put that almost empty box of cereal back, you better mix it with that Raisin Bran and like it!” So I usually pretend like I grabbed the wrong box. This actually involves the same moves as putting it back directly, except that I do a surprised look and then shrug my shoulders first. Then, no one suspects anything. Clever.

Since I have a little more free time, and I can update directly through a new browser (flock) that I’m using, I hope to be posting more regularly. We’ll see if that happens, but I’ve got a lot on my chest (and it ain’t hair or nipples, because I only have 2 of those and that doesn’t count for “a lot”) so I”ll be putting it on here probably.
