Spring blooms eternal, order turns to chaos, children laugh.


Holy crap has nothing been going on.

It's spring now, at least. That means being outside finally. Spring league ultimate is going well. Our team is filled with fun people and good ultimate players. That makes this year one of the best ever. I'll post pictures of the jerseys when they are ready.

Other than that, it has been work and not doing much. Dave and I were on a nostalgia trip and reinstalled Diablo 2 so we have been playing that every so often.

Cass moved and is continually in the process of organizing. Poop-a-loop. Thanks to Dave and Colin for the help.

Just to fill space, time for a stupid survey thing:

1) What's the last thing you put in your mouth?
A donuts.

2) Have you ever kissed anyone named Matt?
No.

3) What does your last text message say?
Cass telling me she loves me.

4) What was the last song you listened to?
MIA-Paper Planes

5) If you hated someone and got put in charge of their funeral music, what would it be?
In this unlikely scenario I would most likely just find the most generic funeral music possible and take a nap. Ideal candidates include American Pie and Desperado.

6) What did you do yesterday?
Worked, took the jerseys to be printed, played catch with Cass, ate salmon, watched Miller's Crossing, watched The Office, slept.

7) Pick a scar on your body - what did you do?
Had my appendix removed.

8) How would you describe your best friend in one word?
Bunny.

9) Last time you were dumped?
High school, but I have been rejected enough times since then to make up for all the lost relationships.

10) Who's your most religious friend?
Mike Morley.

11) Who do you trust with your life?
Everyone who I do already knows.

12) If you could change your name to anything what would it be?
Maximillian Turbo.

13) What would you do if someone told you that you were the most beautiful person in the world and they would do anything to wake up to your face each and every morning?
Tell Andre to stop calling me at four in the morning.

14) Do you trust all of your friends?
Without hesitation. I can't imagine being friends with someone I didn't.

15) Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love?
Absolutely. I will follow Jordan Ladd to the ends of the Earth.

16) Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
No. I know what you mean here and no.

17) Which one of your top friends do you think would make the best prostitute?
Thinking about this I realized that I am friends with a lot of beautiful women but without hesitation I answer David Morley.

18) Who is the nicest person you know?
Cass or Sonal. If they had a nice off it would be the most adorable event in competetive gaming history.

19) What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near future?
Make someone smile when they see our spring league jerseys.

20) If you were to wake up from being in a coma for an extended time who would you call?
My dad to say "Hey, you were supposed to unplug me."

21) Would you make a good parent?
Hell yes, I'm going to be great once I start taking care of my kids.

22) Where was your profile picture taken?
Athens, Greece.

23) Honestly, what's on your mind right now?
I haven't been to a good concert in a long time.

24) Who knows you the best?
Probably Luke just because he's been around for most everything that has happened to me.

25) When is the last time you liked someone?
Right nowish.

26) What are your plans for the weekend?
Partying in Palmer, playing ultimate, and going to Cass's closing.

27) What's your favorite saying?
To make it in this world you have to be ever so smart or ever so pleasant. For years I was ever so smart. I recommend pleasant.

28) Do you still talk to the last person you kissed?
Yes.

29) Have you ever punched a tree?
I have mercilessly beaten so many trees it is astounding to reflect on.

30) Have you ever snuck out of your house/someone in your house?

Non-trad


Tom and Erin's wedding this past weekend was enjoyable. We had a lot of fun hanging out with friends and eating good food.

The wedding itself was very nontraditional. The ceremony was held in a Unitarian church and was over in about 30 minutes. The vows were written by the bride and groom and were funny in a cute way. They seemed to enjoy doing them.

The reception was unorganized although not necessarily in a bad way. No assigned seating meant we could choose to sit with whomever we prefered wherever we prefered. Except that we chose the head table (unmarked) and were promptly relegated to the corner. The food was family style serving which allowed for large portions and was excellent. The music was a playlist set up by Tom on his iPod. The dance floor was disappointingly small but the crowd was disappointingly not into dancing and vanished soon after dinner. We still managed to dance to many wonderful songs, ending with the epic "Fernando." Thanks Tom.

Also: awesome first dance.

It was a great time hanging out with Marty and Megan of course, but also Ross, Howie, Ben, Tom, and Britney. Also many thanks to Jay and Valerie for putting us up on their futon. I was waiting to post this until they sent us pictures but Jay is still trying to figure out how to make the magic box make drawing fly through space.

We then drove to Indiana where I played some Ultimate with the UIC guys. Many swilly hucks were had by all.
