thus far, every day i have had an old person ask me if i am a football player.
also i play up my bible classes and the fact that my name is biblical in it's origins.
also, just spelled origins "origen" like the church father.

apparently i have taken too much theology.

the series of the world

giants are in the world series. i feel as though this is enough to entertain this page. however, i will indulge further.

going to the northwest over christmas. mostly, to portland for my friends wedding.
i am excited for:
-people
-mcminamins
-powells
-bars/pubs
-fun

we will partly be staying with some friends from college. it will be wonderful.

game 3 tomorrow. rangers were stomped out twice in a row. yesterday was real bad. it made my heart happy.
if they win the whole thing im getting a tattoo. about the giants. and dedicated to my grandpa.
and the most obnoxiously huge SF flag i can possibly find.

WOO!

giants forever. we are making it to the playoffs this year. i can feel it. just one more series, which is against the padres, who are in second. so we just gotta beat them and we are in!

additionally, my wonderful lady said she would crochet me a bowtie. im real exciteds.

something like this.

she must really love me. also dont tell her i posted this. she gets embarrassed. i dont know why. it will be wonderful.
just like her.

ps. got a 93 on my american lit 1 test.

uh oh

working lately. not as fun as it sounds.

however. yesterday i made baked potatoes and pork chops. the chops were amazing. cheap ones too. i think it helped that it was bone in. the girlfriend said she didnt want one. then come to find out she had never had them before and liked mine.

additionally im thinking about getting a new tattoo this next month.

awesome.

tomorrow i have a presentation on deism.

equally awesome.

two things i enjoy

cooking.
eating.



mac and cheese. home made. sooooo goods. 4 different cheeses. amazing.



aaaaaand saturday morning. 2 pieces of bacon. 2 sassages. 2 eggs. home made potatoes. they were amazing. toast.

so good.
more to come i promise.


other than that school started. not too bad.
next time i will show my amazing thrift store finds. they are truly wonderful.

the car broke down. 1 hour outside of little rock. took 2 hours for them to pick me up. them being AAA. so that sucked. and it was like 101 with the heat index.

but tomorrow i will arrive at oc. my suitmate is cameron. hes pretty rad. we'll have a lot of fun i think.

and we both enjoy cooking. so get ready for pictures.
saturday night is our first dinner. im making lasagna.
tomorrow i get to see the lady. im egg-cited (get it, like cooking?).

also i am going to start poaching eggs. sounds yummy.

apparently i need more blogs

this is what usually happens. i want to talk, but she decides to do other things.

thats okay, i still like her.
so i make faces and take pictures.

mediaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

yesh. i am admittedly an individual that loves the ridiculous media created. here are some things i am excited for, that either have not come out yet or that i have not yet scene (ha, get it?) that have come out recently.






i saved the best two for last





wooooo!!!!! that looks real nice. so my life is really boring.

things im looking forward to in the next month:
california
seeing the gf
frolfing
IN-N-OUTTTTTTTTTT

also, in general, the best shows ever:
covert affairs
white collar
its always sunny in philadelphia
the league
entourage

why do my blogs consist of so many lists? i dont think my life consists of so many lists. oh well.

Incepted

best movie ever? did they subliminal message me? because i am beginning to think that it is the best movie i have ever seen. literally.

i am going to california. like the biggie song. pretty excited. havent been back in like 4 years. going to eat SOOOOO MUCH in-n-out. because it is the most delicious food ever made. also ill see some friends that i havent seen in...well, 4 years.

also i love law and order: svu. and cooking. because i am pretty good at it. tonight i made pizza. delicous. and jersey shore. i watched it from the beginning, before everyone else started to like it. yes, i just pulled that card. it freakin rules. gtl all day. i need to cut my hair. it is waaaaay too long for my comfort level. school starts soon. ill get there in 5 weeks from today. which means 5 weeks until i see the lady. i am excited.

mostly i love the lady though. of course. how could you not?

also, lets go giants. we can do this. i kind of feel like applying all of obamas campaign slogans to the giants. hope. we still got a shot for the playoffs. put your rally caps on. lets do this,

4 july, 2010 anno domini

on july 4, 1826, both thomas jefferson and john adams died. adams famous last words?

"jefferson lives"...or something like that.

what happened 50 years before? the APPROVAL of the declaration. the actual declaration was on the 2nd. but of course no one knows that. and what happened 9 thousand years before that? GOD CREATED THE WORLD. ha, just kidding.

so who was better. the lady would say adams. but lets face it, he didn't really do anything. we all know that jefferson was the boss hog of the fathers. the medellin. adams was the goose to jefferson's maverick (shout out to the lady). sure jefferson went bankrupt three times, but he was the godfather. the suge knight of the founding era death row records. he ran it. mike tyson and michael jordan rolled into one.

so how else should our country honor the civil disobedience that allowed us freedom from taxation without representation. by forgetting it ever happened and blowing stuff up. crack another brew people. lets get hammered.

(don't forget the explosions)

So much like many of you, I have a few reservations about attending OC. These fears and the immanent dread that follows the fear, seem to stem from the horrid idea of a stale state full of a “mess” (as I believe you southerners put it) of boredom. It feels a little like Santa came early and gave us a box full of monotony. So I have come up with two ideas to eradicate the plague known only as tedium. The first of these is to make a distillery on campus. This came to me when thinking of the vast and rich heritage that “Country folk” have with the art of getting hammered and shooting guns. Such a wonderful and intelligent combination, isn’t it? Then I remembered that the faculty and staff would probably frown upon this, muttering phrases such as “Yankee” and “hippie” in contempt when referring to those who are making the journey from Cascade.

Now, you may be wondering, “what on earth is there to do that is more appealing than destroying enough brain cells so that I can forget I am in this ravaged, barren portion of our great nation?” Well, I have found the answer my friends. The gold medal, the pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow, the booty, the holy grail of all time fillers.

NOODLING

What is noodling you may ask? Well, it is the ingenious sport of fishing for catfish…WITH YOUR HAND. Yes, you put your bare hand under water in catfish infested waters and wiggle your fingers until you get a bite…literally. Wait, but don’t catfish get pretty big? Yes they do, up to 200 POUNDS BIG. Wait, but that seems kind of dangerous then, can I get hurt? In a word, yes. Yes you can.

How many of you have seen deadliest catch? Yes, the television show where crazy old jaded men go out for months into the ocean to search for sea life for the consumption of humans. And yes, we have all heard the stories of how it is such a dangerous and manly job. So why will noodling put hair on your chest (even if you are a girl)? Because noodling kills more people than commercial fishing a year. The catfish will grab a hold of your arm and subsequently attempt to drown your sorry behind in some dingy backcountry river. And where was this glorious sport created? In none other than the fine state we are all about to venture on to, OKLAHOMA. Thank you Oklahoma, thank you for giving me the closest thing to my very own personal Jonah experience.

Also, apparently you aren’t really noodling unless those suckers draw blood. AKA, if you dont nearly drown, you are still playing t-ball. It’s time to join the big leagues people. My life now seems so mild heretofore. I have found my calling. That empty space that was once taking up residence in my soul is slowly dissipating with every moment that brings me closer to Oklahoma. So put in another dip and grab the nearest bottle of illegally distilled billion proof alcohol and lets go catch us some fish.

Note: generalities made are in the name of humor. Please don’t take it seriously. My grandfather is from Oklahoma afterall…l grab a hold of your arm and subsequently attempt to drown your sorry behind in some dingy backcountry river. And where was this glorious sport created? In none other than the fine state we are all about to venture on to, OKLAHOMA. Thank you Oklahoma, thank you for giving me the closest thing to my very own personal Jonah experience.

something i really enjoy is crappy romance stuff.
i say this knowing it all sucks. however, i do enjoy the fact that it ends up happy and good and such. there is enough terrible stuff happennig in the world already. though, i do really like The Road; both the book and movie.

one of the things i enjoy in the afore mentioned catagory is the television show The OC. two summers ago me and two friends watch the entire series...in 3 weeks. it was delightful.




i just rewatched the final season recently. so nice.
additionall, am rereading I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, by the infamous Tucker Max. it will be like hte 7th time reading it. the lady claims it has a negative effect on my personality. that has yet to be determined.

this is not the sound of silence

typically my musical taste changes from year to year, season to season, etc. however, there are a few mainstays in my life that i always and constantly enjoy listening to.

1. Black Dahlia Murder


2. Blink 182


3. Dr. Dre


thats it. the top three. right there. not in order. i dont think i could put them in order. just generally my top three.
so listen.
listen loud. listen proud.

charles

sometimes I think it would be nice to have fathomless information streamnig through my brain. there are few things i love in life.

-the lady.
-reading.
-bowties.
-metal.
-terrible reality television.

that is all for now.

ps. i am sure that this blog will vary from diatribe to everything else. you have been warned.
