Today we salute you, stressed out college student during exam week. As you sit in your lonely cubical in the library, doped up on Starbucks & Adderall, you think to yourself, 'am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life?' The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage, I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you have checked your buddy list 800 times. Christmas break is just days away, and your Prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold bud light after that last exam, because for most of us christmas will be spent in rehab...
I am guilty of most of these.

Cold Air Really is Heavier
Well blogger fans, it sure has been a while since I made a real post, but I figure that most of my jillions and jillions of fans think I have dropped off the face of the earth. But never fear, my life is still as somewhat unbelievable as always. The most recent crazy story proves once again two things: 1) cold air is heavier than normal air, and 2) gravity is a more powerful force than my roommate. Here is the story.
One day when I got back from class, I came into the room only to find my roommate hovering over the air conditioner that I (that would be me paying the $300 a year, not him) am renting from the university inside the room on the floor and not in window where it was only an hour and a half earlier. I had to go to a group meeting so and did not have time to hear the story, so I told him to fix it and tell me the story later. I went to my meeting for about 45 minutes, and knew I was in for a great story when I got to the room. Needless to say, he was just finishing fixing the a/c unit, so I will tell the story once again. It all starts with the fact that the heaters in this dorm have only two settings: on or off. Each room cant change their own heater, it is either on for the entire building or off for the entire building. Well, that day it was on and my roommate was feeling too hot and wanted to cool the room down. Instead of turning on the a/c, which is the reason we have it, he decides that opening the window would be a great idea. Granted it would have been a good idea, but there is no way to open our window. The window is screwed shut so that it can not be opened.
Well, my roommate took the screws out and was trying to open the window. On the sides of the a/c are white plastic insulators, so the window is jammed shut. Undaunted, my roommate hits upward on the window and frees it, forcing it open. Well, with the window up, there is nothing holding in the a/c unit, and it freefell two stories out the window. Plugged into the same power strip are the tv, x-box, PS2, and VCR. Luckily for him, the a/c unplugged as it plummeted to the ground. Needless to say, my roommate fixed the a/c, mainly by hitting it with a 2x4. You are probably wondering where he got a 2x4, but he built a climbing wall in our room, but that is another story for another time. So my roommate proved several scientific principals. 1) The a/c (cold air) is indeed heavier than the normal air around it and will not float, but fall. 2) No matter how you try, gravity will always win. 3) My roommate is a dumbass. 4) It is much easier to simply turn a dial for cold air rather than push the a/c out the window. 5) The a/c unit now has need for fewer screws than it did before it fell out the window. 6) Even blind squirrels sometimes find nuts. Don't know how it proves number six, but think about it.... if nothing else it is funny to read. Yes, my roommate is quite possibly the only person thick enough to accomplish something like this.
Next year: Room to myself.

Real Men of Genius
Bud Light Presents:
Real Men of Genius:
Today we salute you, Mr. Constant Collar Putter Upper. You, bedecked in popped collar, teach us that we no longer have to live with a cold, back of the neck. Sure, your Pink alligator polo may look feminine to some, but not to the 17 other frat guys wearing the same thing at the bar. Where others may see thoughtless fashion conformity, you preach a higher gospel. You preach of a world where it's okay for a man to go tanning. You ask "why can't we wear make-up, and use shampoo with lavender essecence?" So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, Mr. Abercrombie (or is it Fitch?), because we all know, when we really need a piece of gum, you might have one...in your man purse.
Hmmmm....

Its Been A Long Time Coming
Hey to all my jillions and jillions of fans out there. Sorry its been so long since my last update, but I am so busy with school. Twenty credit hours of class plus going to the gym every day takes quite a bit of time, not to mention the marching band. Anyway, just a really quick update for you all.
In sporting news, Miami kicked the crap out of OU, 40-20. To all those OU fans out there I got two words for you. You Stink.
On a more personal note, tomorrow (Tuesday) is the two year anniversary for Christy and Me . The last two years have been the happiest of my life. I look forward to spending the rest of my days with her.
Well, that's all for now. I am tired, and need to get to bed. I will get more updates as I get the time. So keep checking and you just might get lucky.

ENG Sample Sentences
As I sat here reading my book for English 302, I came across a disturbing sample sentence. Before I share that though, let me tell you how easy this class is. This is the second week of a 300 level course in English grammar, and we are still talking about how to identify the parts of speech. I kid you not, this is stuff you do in middle school.
Anyway, what follows is the sample sentence. A little background, the book is using the sentence to show adjective usage. Here is the lead in and the sentence.
A little feaked out, but still I am Chad: Just livin' the dream.

Typically, you use intensifiers to amplify the impact of adjectives.
The condom issue turned damned nasty.I kid you not, that is how it reads in my book. Strange does not even cover it.

Game Night
Well, this stupid thing deleted the last update that I had, so I am not going to make it as cool as it would have been if I had my original update.
Saturday Miami University thrashed Indiana State 49-0, scoring 42 points in the first half. The percussion had to show up 6 hours early so that we could practice. We haggled the vendors, trying to get them to open up early so we could eat, but we were really looking for some ice cream. Needless to say, we didn't find any. The game got delayed about 40 mins just as we were about to do pregame, forcing everyone to evacuate the stadium and take cover in Millet Hall while the storm raged outside.
Phrase of the Weekend: Jim Shueman to a vendor while trying, unsuccessfully, to get ice cream: "Fine, we will just go and bother someone else who has a heart."

Quick Update
Just a quick update for now between classes for all you jillions and jillions of fans. The highlight of the day was the fact that my journalism teacher was over 40 mins late to class, so 3/4 of the class just got up and left. It was so awesome. That's all for now, got some reading to get done so I will give you guys something worth reading later.

Some People Just Need Smacked...
Hello to all of my jillions and jillions of fans out there. Got a nice little post for you today, so here it is.
Today at band one of the most random events that I have ever witnessed occurred. The band was practicing and I think we were some place in the middle of "In the Stone" and all of a sudden this random guy walks onto the far side of the band field. As he is walking, he just fell face first into the ground. The band had to call the squad to come and take care of this random guy. If that was not enough, there was the ever present dumb asses in the band giving suggestions. Steve (dumb ass #1) went on and on last year about he was going to be an EMT. He talked about it so much that I swore if I heard those three letters together I was going to go crazy. So as soon as this guy went down, Steve was over there faster than the freakin' Flash. So now I am going to have to listen to him about how he is an EMT for then next week. If you think that is ridiculous, then the next dumb ass is going to kill you. So the bigger dumb ass was Mel. Now the thing about Mel is nobody, and I mean nobody likes her. She was so mean last year that we all called her "Mel the Bitch" or later, simply "The Bitch". She is so bad that her parents wish they could move and change the locks without telling her. So as dumb ass #1 (Steve) is attending to this random guy, Mel has a great idea which she decides to share with everyone. "The Bitch" proceeds to ask the director if the band has a "defibrillator because if it's his heart we need to use it". Now just when you think she can not say anything more ridiculous, she does. Then she adds the fact that if the band does not have one that we could "buy one because my daddy sells them". Now I do not know about anyone else, but I think that a statement like that is only deserving of one thing....A big SLAP in the face.
In other news, it really sucks to ride you bike across campus in the rain, because you end looking like a wet rat. Two days of band camp left...thank god for that. I don't know how much many more solid days of band that I can take. Anyway, that's enough for today. I leave you with my newest addition, the "Phrase of the Day"!
Friday's Phrase of the Day: Clusterfuck

First Night Back at Miami
This is the moment you have all been waiting for! Finally, I am back at Miami and will be updating my foreskin' awesome blogger regularly. I know, I know, take a moment to let the excitement die down.
Well, my first day went as any college move in on Friday the 13th could go...down the shitter. It started out bad before I even left home last night. I was planning on bringing Christy down with me so we could spend the day together moving me in. My parents didn't like the idea, at all. The strange part is they did not tell me why until twelve hours before we were supposed to leave. I decided that it would be easier on all parties concerned if Christy stayed home. I didn't want her to, but I did not want her to have to ride home with my parents and have the ride be all uncomfortable. So with that unpleasantness out of the way we headed down on the way to Miami. Once we got here it was not so bad, except I had to listen to my parents nag. Anyway, among the other things that went wrong include tearing a huge hole in my shorts, forgetting my back brush, breaking some of my stuff...the list goes on and on. But not all is lost fans, the days will improve. On the better side of things I went out to LaRosas with Anne and we talked about how we hope band will be fun this year. Then we went to Wal-Mart and bought some room decorations. I bought a bonsai tree for my room so I can complete my training like the master in The Karate Kid. Anyway, I got a back brush and some more stuff for my room. I have practice tomorrow so I am signing off.

Finally "The Chad" has come back.... but from where?
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my jillions and jillions of fans. I have not updated my blog since the last night at Miami, and for this I am sorry. Somehow it seems that I had more time when I was at school than what I do now. I have been spending part of my vacation at work, and the other part I have been spending with Christy. When I have any free time I am out golfing... Although what I do on the golf course most people would not refer to as golfing. It looks more like I am learning something for the first time. Anyway, I just thought I would let you all know that I am still kickin' it. I "plan" to update this more often, but I can't promise anything.

Last Night at Miami
Well loyal blog readers, this is my last post from Miami this year. I will continue to post from time to time from home, but there wont be any good stories about college life until next semester. I have one final tomorrow, and it is calculus. The problem I have is that it is very hard to study math. I feel like either I know it or I don't, and if I don't know it now, then practicing wont do me any good....because I don't know it.... Anyway, you get the idea. So I am spending my last night here reviewing my notes, watching hockey, and getting my music collection updated from Chris. There is really nothing about this campus that I am going to miss over the summer, but there are people. I have made numerous friends my first year. The first friend that I made here has become one of my closest ones, there is a bond between percussion that just cant be explained. There are other friends who, when I came here, had a friendship that was weakening, but is now stronger than ever. Others met me in a wheelchair and thought I was a cripple, but found out that I was really not that bad. My best and closest friend from home found herself a new place to call home while I was away at Miami. So many things change when you go away to school, its amazing. Don't worry, this is not going to be a sad sap story about how I am sad. Heck no, I am ready to in the words of my roommate "Peace the f*** out of Oxford." So no sadness from this guy, I know I will have to put up with it next semester. This is goodbye to Dorsey Hall and my 10x13 room. To my Miami friends, see you next semester. Loudonville, look out because I'm back.

The Kentucky Derby
Its time once again for another installment of your favorite blog, so here it is
Today was rather pointless. Instead of studying for my finals like most other Miami students, I spent most of the day doing nothing. I mean I wasted most of the day. I spent the day watching...The Kentucky Derby. I would like to say for the record that the Kentucky Derby is the most pointless waste of a day in the world. I mean, honestly. They spend about six hours leading up to the race, and it lasts two minutes. I mean, how lame is that. I have spent more doing things like flossing, going to the bathroom, and blowing my nose than I spent watching the actual race. Somehow they manage to stretch two minutes worth of racing into over six hours of coverage. I mean, come on people. Its a freakin' horse race. Only one expression can suffice...WTF? Wow. Anyway, after I watched the "greatest two minutes in sports" Chris and I decided to start the room cleaning, as the year is coming to an end. We swept all the corners moved the fridge, and took down all the yafa blocks. We even got rid of the carpet. I won't go into the details on how exactly we disposed of our carpet, but here is a simple math version of it. Carpet + window + gravity = Carpet taken care of. Now I am just going to watch the Southpark Marathon and then the movie on Comedy Central.

For anyone out there who has ever wondered what the most satisfying way to celebrate the end of a class, here is a good idea for chem lab:
1) Take you chemistry lab manual out of you bag.
2) Carefully carry the lab manual out into the hall outside your dorm room.
3) Carefully hold the manual in you right hand and extend your arm straight out in front
4) Punt that freakin' manual as hard as you can down the hall.
5) Pick up said manual and throw it as hard as you can back down the hall
6) Throw manual into wall and then stomp on it.
7) Repeat steps 4 through 6 as many times as necessary.
Feels good doesn't it? Chad: Just livin' the dream

Well loyal fans, I am finally back to make yet another post.
I had my wonderful chemistry final today, and I had some pretty creative answers. Well, the answers were creative but not correct. One example of this creative style was give on a question dealing with plastics. The question read as follows: "What are some ways you could differentiate between PVC plastic and PET in a combustion test?" My answer: "Dr. Danelson, you should never light your pets on fire. Don't you know that is animal cruelty?" I know, I know... Not correct, but funny. Other answers included phrases like "I don't know", "No idea" and "WHAT!? You have got to be kidding, right?" I tried to answer as many as I could correctly, but the ones I had on clue on got my creative answer. Some people wonder how I can do things like that, and I am glad to tell them. I am just that damn good, that's why, plus I am a ninja. My ninja name is "Chad: The Sober One" or just "The Sober One". Actually, I do not care one bit about chemistry because I hate it and never have to take another chemistry class as long as I live. With that out of the way, I only have three more finals until I am done for this semester at Miami. Not that I don't like it here, because I do. I have lots of friends who I am really going to miss. I have friends that it is going to suck not seeing around (you know who you are). But I am very excited about going home. I have lots of friends at home who I want to see and visit, and I have one best friend at home who I love, and am looking forward to spending the summer with. (Her name is Christy for those of you NOT following along).
It has been a first year, and it went be a lot faster than I thought it ever would. It seems like only yesterday that I was saying goodbye to my dad, my mom, my step dad, brother, sister , and friends. That was nearly a year ago, and it has gone by in the blink of an eye. I wonder then, how fast will my next three years go by? How fast will it seem like till I am married and have kids of my own. Time is so strange, it goes by slow when we are living in the moment, but on reflection it seems to have passed by so fast. What a year! Anyway, the year is finally over and boy am I ready to get on home. I cant wait to see everyone again, and I cant wait to see one person again.
I can do anything, even make this cool blog cause I am a freakin' ninja. Another day in the life in Chad:Just livin the dream.

The question read as follows: "What are some ways you could differentiate between PVC plastic and PET in a combustion test?" My answer: "Dr. Danelson, you should never light your pets on fire. Don't you know that is animal cruelty?" I know, I know... Not correct, but funny. Other answers included phrases like "I don't know", "No idea" and "WHAT!? You have got to be kidding, right?" I tried to answer as many as I could correctly, but the ones I had on clue on got my creative answer. Some people wonder how I can do things like that, and I am glad to tell them. I am just that damn good, that's why, plus I am a ninja. My ninja name is "Chad: The Sober One" or just "The Sober One". Actually, I do not care one bit about chemistry because I hate it and never have to take another chemistry class as long as I live. With that out of the way, I only have three more finals until I am done for this semester at Miami. Not that I don't like it here, because I do. I have lots of friends who I am really going to miss. I have friends that it is going to suck not seeing around (you know who you are). But I am very excited about going home. I have lots of friends at home who I want to see and visit, and I have one best friend at home who I love, and am looking forward to spending the summer with. (Her name is Christy for those of you NOT following along).
It has been a first year, and it went be a lot faster than I thought it ever would. It seems like only yesterday that I was saying goodbye to my dad, my mom, my step dad, brother, sister , and friends. That was nearly a year ago, and it has gone by in the blink of an eye. I wonder then, how fast will my next three years go by? How fast will it seem like till I am married and have kids of my own. Time is so strange, it goes by slow when we are living in the moment, but on reflection it seems to have passed by so fast. What a year! Anyway, the year is finally over and boy am I ready to get on home. I cant wait to see everyone again, and I cant wait to see one person again.
I can do anything, even make this cool blog cause I am a freakin' ninja. Another day in the life in Chad:Just livin the dream.
NINJA VANISH!

I would like to point something out to all of my loyal blog readers out there. If you look at the bottom of my blog, there is this little blue word that looks like "Comment". If you click on it, you can leave me a comment about my blog. With comments, I can get a general idea of what you, my loyal fans,think about my writing. It also lets me know who visits my blog since I don't have one of them link spy things. I am not saying I want comments every time, but a few from my loyal readers would be nice every now and then.I really would appreciate some comments from time to time... You know, so I know who reads it... Cause I know there are like two jillion people reading my blog every two jillion seconds. I need to go ask about that later.
Quote of the day: "'Popular Science'? Ha, no such thing man. More like 'Nerdular Nerdence'". That's exactly what I thought after one semester as a chemistry major. What was I thinking?
With a few comments from my two jillion readers every two jillion seconds, I would be Chad: Just livin' the dream.

Hello again Blogger fans. I am finally getting around to updating my blog so all you fans out there can know what is going on. Without further ado here it is, the updated Chad: Just livin' the dream.
What a weekend it was. This weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long, long time. It was Christina's birthday on Friday and things worked out so that she could come down to Miami for the weekend. That was not the real reason she came down, but it just worked out that way. She was visiting UC on Friday and was going to the Music at Miami presentation for music majors on Saturday. We had made all these plans to go around campus then to ice skating, but those plans fell through. But that is ok, cause things worked out anyway. Christy was supposed to have the UC visit from 1-4 and then arrive here at Miami sometime between 4-5. I had a class from 3-3:45, and then I was going over to Loren's dorm to wait for Christy to call and say she had arrived. Well, Loren and I met her friend at 4:45 in order to go down and get Loren' car. We got her car and just sort of drove around, waiting for a call from Christy and Loren's mom. As it turns out, they wont get to Oxford before we get to them. It turns out that they get lost coming here from Cincinnati. Not only did they get lost, but there was an accident on the exit ramp that they needed to get off to come here. So while they sat in traffic, Loren and I headed to Colerain to meet them. On the way there Loren and I counted 44 and 1/2 cars waiting at the light on Patterson Ave. Way to many cars coming to Miami. So we met them and ate at the Olive Garden for dinner. Since it was Christy's birthday
we all went back to their hotel here in Oxford to celebrate, but not before Christy and I went to Kroger to get some ice cream. We all went back to their hotel room where we had cake and ice cream. Once we had our celebration, Chrisy and I came back to campus. I showed her around the best I could, even though it was a little dark. Then I gave Christy her birthday presents and we watched "The Dark Crystal". At about 11:45 pm we went over to the arches and kissed under the lamp at midnight. I know, I know, I am a romantic sap. I took her back to the hotel room and came back to my dorm and slept till like 12:30 pm. It was an awesome Friday. After Christy did her Music Day thing she was no longer so in love with UC as she was on Friday. I think she really likes Miami, but we will just have to see what happens. I am pretty sure I can sell Miami to her, but again, we will have to wait and see. After her music thing we got dinner at Alexander dining hall, and then she had to head back. It was one of the best weekends that I have had in very long time, but any weekend I spend with her is a great weekend.
A great weekend filled with friends and fun. This weekend I really was Chad: Just livin' the dream.

Well, I never thought this day would come, but in exactly three weeks my first year here at Miami University will be complete. It is hard to think that a year has gone by already. It seems like we just got here, but now we are almost done. Don't get me wrong, I like it here, but I like it a lot more at home. Not much new to report, just thought I would post some rambling. There is one very exciting thing that is happening this weekend though. Christy (my girlfriend for those of you who don't know) is coming down for the first time this weekend. I am extremely excited to show her around campus. I am so excited. I really want to go ice skating with her, and it will be fun because she has never gone before. No, I don't mean that it will be fun because she has never skated, although it has potential to be funny, I really want to show her how to skate and just spend some time with her. Given her former situation, we really never had a chance to do all the fun stuff that couples should do, but now we can. I am really looking forward to this weekend. Well, back to school matters. I only have two more chemistry labs left in my entire college career, and I am ecstatic about that. I really do hate chemistry, really. What was I thinking when I tired to be a chemistry major?

It is said that God works in mysterious ways, and after this weekend I know that to be true. It is a rather complex issue and I really do not want to explain it all anyway, so I will just post the bare minimum. My girlfriend and I Christina have been dating for 1 year and 7 months now and for as long as I have known Christy her father has made her life a living hell. He as a crazy, controlling, abusive S.O.B. I am not just saying this because I am dating her, he really is that bad. Things had always been bad at her house, but things really got crazy last year. To make a long story short, Christy came to my graduation party and her dad went off the deep end. He showed up to my party with a police officer and escorted her from the party. Then as punishment for that, he grounded her indefinitely to her room, and it was not a simple grounding. He forced her to stay in her room and did not let her out except for like 3 mins at a time to go to the bathroom. She was not allowed to even eat regular food, she only got to eat the leftovers, which most time there were none, but she had to eat them from a plate which they placed on the floor of her room. Since that time, it has been our goal to get her to a home where she could be happy. She has so much potential might never have been able to realize it fully. I know that she is destined for great things but could never have become all that she can be if she had to remain at that house. After a almost a year of working to get her freedom and all avenues turning to dead ends, her freedom looked bleak. Then a miracle happened. On Thursday Christy went to court for trying to run away from her abusive father, but instead of being punished, the magistrate rendered the decision to remove her from her house and free her. Thursday morning she was living with her abusive father and the rest of her family, but then Thursday night she was living with the family of one of my best friends. Christy is now free to be a normal teen, free to do everything that has been denied from her for the past 17 years of her life. Even the smallest things in life that most of us take for granted are now things that she will be able to enjoy. None of this would have been possible without the help and selflessness of countless individuals. Christy had the hardest job of anyone. She had to endure all that mistreating for all those years, and then she had the courage to stand against everything she had ever known to be free. Then, my father and my stepmom were kind enough to do all they could do to help Christy be free. They supported her and did all they could. The people that have helped her the most is the family that took her in. The entire family has opened their home to her and have let her into their lives. That family is truly a blessing from above. My friends mom was the real driving force behind getting Christy free. She took up her cause with a vigor that I had never seen before. She wrote letter, went to court, helped with scholarships, helped to get her to Girl's State, and has done so much more that I am sure most are not aware of. She deserves more praise and thanks that any words can ever offer. I do not think that there is anyway that Christy and I could ever do anything to show how thankful we are for her devotion and help. The entire family has been so helpful and supportive of Christy, there are not words to express our gratitude. The entire family has just taken her in, with out question. The family, the entire family, is simply a blessing. I do not know what else I can say, except thank you. I believe that God had his hand in the outcome of this entire ordeal and this was all part of the grand plan. God helps those who help themselves. This weekend has been the one of the very best weekends of my entire life. The most important person in my life is now free from the house that held her back for so long. I am so happy that she can now be happy. I love her with all my heart. Her freedom is like a dream come true.
This has been a miraculous weekend and a superb Easter. I can truly say that I am now Chad: Just livin' the dream.

The following poem was composed by my roommate Chris Kopech one late night/very early morning. I though it was rather creative. I have it in my AIM profile, but I want to share it with anyone who does not like to read profiles. So here it is, "Ode to Dorsey".
We may have stained the floors and put holes in the wall but we made our mark on Dorsey Hall. We get drunk and or krunked on almost any day. Is it me or are those assholes from Reid really gay? We've dominated more brain cells than the Rolling Stones. All in our ne'er ending quest to get dome. We play lots of poker and even more halo, and the number of times we've been laid is way low (except for Arver...Yeah Right). But we'll do it next year, for the ladies we'll yearn, as we throw it down on North Quad in Hepburn...Bitches.

Well isn't this an interesting thing I have done. I am posting all, well some, of my thoughts in a public forum for everyone to read. Sounds a little, umm, public... Anyway, some good friends have asked me to do this apparently so they can laugh at me more than they already do. Take last night for example. Now, it was not till earlier this year that I realized I had an apparent "lisp". My friends have all known I have had it and they have always made me say stupid stuff and then laughed about it, but I never put it together. Anne, being the soft spoken person that she is, just starts making fun of "the lisp" on day as a bunch of us are on the way back from some mall outing. Once Loren had fest up to knowing I have had it all this time, both Anne and Loren think it is some new entertainment to make fun of my lisp at every opportunity that rears its ugly head. So, back to last night... Loren and Anne are watching the Miami University Marching Band video, a video of all sorts of footage shot all through out the year. Apparently I am featured several times in the video, and one occasion I can actually be heard. Naturally, the two of them pick out this "lisp" and laugh so hard at it that they can not hear the video, and when I ask them what I was talking about on the video that night, neither can tell me. All they tell me is that they could not hear the movie over their own laughter. Thank you Anne and Loren for crushing my fragile self-esteem and giving me a complex. I suppose that's what friends are for. On a side note, I really do like both Anne and Loren despite what any blog entries might imply. Anne, Loren, I heart you guys.
That's all for right now, tune in later to see if I can do anything else as funny as simply talking. This is the first installment of Chad: Just livin' the dream.
