The tallies are in and a winner is me! Sorry, I just haven't checked this thing in over a week. But here's something I found interesting and did today:

Who could win a rabbit
Yes I know, an update is long overdue. I just dont have time to sit down and write these things anymore. Thus, I have decided to pick someone to do it for me. One lucky winner will win the right to make the next update. Cast your votes now! They will be tallied within the week.
Mood: yes, its sung tongs

Such an easy disease contagious as a yawn. My why crhomosome.
For some reason I thought adding a picture of kittens and the yeah yeah yeahs would make up for my not having a picture of myself. Thoughts? The last two nights were exactly the same. Involving both Caribou Coffee and Maurine whatever-her-last-name-is's neighborhood, I really didn't mind. I liked it.
Since I have absolutely nothing to update on I am going to confess that I have fallen in like with Chan Marshall. Its pronounced "Shawn". Likelihood factor = 0%. But we are all entitled to having a "star crush" here and there.
Me being the nature-oriented guy that I am (not yet, but im working on it), I have agreed to partake in a camping trip coming up soon. Highly looking forward to it.
I think there are some donuts left in the kitchen. Comment like hell, kids.

Hey you with the pretty face, Welcome to the human race.
Minor update: The other day I woke up to Brass In Pocket playing on the radio AGAIN. The song is haunting me. I am currently eating Ritz Chips, my other addiction besides bagels. And speaking of, im about to have one. I watched American History X last night. Very good movie. A word to the wise, don't ever get ice coffee from the Dunkin Donuts on LaGrange. It is terrible. They are much better at the one on Wolf and 30. Also try their breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Props to Michael A Graff on that. Anyhoo, this was supposed to be a short update. But there's just so much useless information i need to write. Good'ay!

I'm hurt. You're hurt. My dad's hurt. Haven't you heard, everyone's hurt.
I am not a nature guy. I mean i love pretty, natural views and know a beautiful scenery when i see one. But for me they're just better viewed from indoors, in an air-conditioned house. My allergies have seemed to attack in full force this past week and poison ivy (at least i think thats what it is) of the ankle is great fun, you all should try it sometime. Hence why i love nature. Save yourself six dollars and avoid seeing Harold & Kumar go to White Castle. On the other hand you do get a coupon for one free white castle burger. By now everyone who knows me must know of my infatuation with bagels. They are by far the perfect meal. Lightly toasted with a buttery spread (for the last time, cream cheese has no part in the bagel community), they hit the spot on any occasion. I WILL follow through with my plans to open my own bagel shop, and it will be a beautiful thing. Funny/emberrasing story.. I almost jumped into the shower today without removing my clothes first. I must have been in some kind of hurry because i A) have never done that before in my life and B) am not retarded. Well this update has sort of gone down the drain, but i felt like i needed to sit here and make one anyway.

www.radiodelilah.com - you know you love her
Okay so i have a website now.
http://home.comcast.net/~soundisfasterinwater/index.html
Last night was interesting. Thanks again Maura for coughing on my twix ice cream bar, oh and the endless supply of lemonade. I have introduced ritz chips into my bagel and cereal diet. I suggest you do the same, they're amazingly good. I woke up to Brass In Pocket playing on the radio. Yesterday me and Ryan had quite the ride home. Lets just say we utilized the cruise control beyond its intended purpose. Ask him about it. I now have a text messaging plan integrated into my cell phone bill. Text me at 708 528 9253. Dave is back and we're going to get bagels. yum yum.

Don't pee in my bed and tell me that it's raining
I am not a fan of updating livejournals, but tonight's events are worthy of the time i put into this stupid thing. For starters i was sort of dissapointed for missing warped tour. Not so much for the bands as the people that were going. Nevertheless i had a great time seeing xiu xiu. The highlight was probably the ride home though. After being stuck on the express way in chicago for over an hour because it was narrow it down to one lane, we pulled a couple of mexican sweeps while chanting our favorite spanish words. mine was jeuvos. After that got boring we saw what we thought was a dead girl in the back of an ambulance. the driver was in no hurry as he didn't have his lights nor was going remotely as fast as we were, so our best assumptions declared her dead. Half startled but mostly saddened, we quickly sped back to frankfort where mike began calling his mom "Sue Serious the exotic hooker" and claiming that she liked whipped cream, orange belly buttons, and black eyed peas. I am also learning how to text message faster and send them to more people. So if you got a text message, congrats, your cool. Hit me back, i plan to spending a lot of money on this.

Livejournals are so lamexcore
I went to visit an aunt i haven't seen in a very long time today. She is very old and had a stroke not too long ago. After having forgotten my name the first thing she said to me went something along the lines of "i want you to have a girlfriend. you might be gay, and i dont like that." Time passed and we chit-chatted a little up until it was time for me to go. I was almost late for the show, so i sped.. fast. The only thing Mojo's is good for is their water. Wait no i had to pay for that too.. So that marked the last time i go there. Unless of course it is to pee on their walls. This pomade has the best smell ever. I need to take up a new hobbie. Ill try the tv. I hear i've been missing a lot. Thank you again Dave for the shirt, im going to wear the hell out of it. Niggas do lines.

Anchorman vs. Napolean Dynamite
Anchorman and Napolean Dynamite. The first was extremely hilarious but the latter wasn't as good as i was expecting. Sean loved it, Ryan hated it, and im somewhere in between. Saturday night was pretty fun, we'll have to do that again sometime. I went to the dentist at eight this morning. Good news, no cavities. It feels good to wake up early. Too bad i can't do it more often. I say Sean needs to reactivate his livejournal. Who's with me? In the mean time i think Dave should update his on a regular basis. I need a cell phone.

Picking apples for the kings and queens of things I've never seen
Well, i haven't updated you in forever. Im bored and have some time to kill so i guess thats a start. Sean is over and it is seven am. He is sleeping behind me somewhere in the ruffles of my bed and i am listening to wilco. Some cool things have happened since the last update. I have met new people and tried new things. I like them. Sean told me that he deleted his livejournal. I dont believe him. Even after having been to the site and turned down by an error page, i still think he's lying. Im pretty sure his lj was one of the strongest in our area. My normal diet of cereal and bagels has been reduced to cereal and livewire. I wish sleep were only an option.

2 donut for price 1
I hate how at Baskin Donuts you have no idea what the hell the guy is saying until after its too late. If i had known he threw in an extra donut for me i would have thanked him rather than giving him the confused eye and crooked smile. In other news my girlfriend cheated on me so i dumped her AND I semi-stole from Big Lots. Today was slow and strange. I woke up thinking i was at home when in actuality i was in Aurora. It doesn't get more dissapointing than that. I have a new found love for portable dvd players. They showed their true advantage in a long car ride today. Sometimes i think im staying up too late, but then i realize its summer and everyone does. 4:10 and still feul enough to burn another hour or so.

Time Quake
At ten o'clock the old, long out-of-print science fiction writer announced it was his bedtime. There was one last thing he wanted to say to us, to his family. Like a magician seeking a volunteer from the audience, he asked someone to stand beside him and do what he said. I held up my hand. "Me, please, me," i said.
The crowd fell quiet as i took my place to his right.
"The universe has expanded so enormously," he said, "with the exception of the minor glitch it put us through, that light is no longer fast enough to make any trips worth taking in even the most unreasonable lengths of time. Once the fastest thing possible, they say, light now belongs in the graveyard of history like the Pony Express.
"I now ask this human being brave enough to stand next to me to pick two twinkling points of obsolete light in the sky above us. It doesnt matter what they are, except that they must twinkle. If they dont twinkle they are either planets or satellites. Tonight we are not interested in planets or satellites."
I picked two points of light maybe ten feet apart. One was Polaris. I have no idea what the other one was. For all i knew, it was Puke, Trout's star the size of a BB.
"Do they twinkle?" he said.
"Yes they do," i said.
"Promise?" he said.
"Cross my heart," i said.
"Excellent!" he said. "Now then: Whatever heavenly bodies those two glints represent, it is certain that the Universe has become so rarified that for light to go from one to the other would take thousand or millions of years. But i now ask you to look precisely at one, then precisely at the other."
"OK," i said. "I did it."
"It took a second, do you think?" he said.
"No more," i said.
"Even if you had taken an hour," he said, "something would have passed between where those two heavenly bodies used to be, at, conservatively speaking, a million times the speed of light."
"What was it?" i said.
"Your awareness," he said. "That is a new quality in the Universe, which exists only because there are human beings. Physicists must from now on, when pondering the secrets of the cosmos, factor in not only energy and matter and time, but something very new and beautiful, which is human awareness."
Trout paused, ensuring with the ball of his left thumb that his upper dental plate would not slip as he said his last words to us that enchanted evening.
All was well with his teeth. This was his finale: "I have thought of a better word than awareness," he said. "Let us call it soul."

We Smoke Lucky Strikes
I can do the belly button trick too. Don't ask tho bc ill never show you. Contrary to mike's opinion, I don't think today was bad at all. We got to see eric's new pad and "toyet like a tiga" made a return. Oh, and I learned that some ppl just arn't meant to be able to use a bow and arrow. Thankfully that someone is not me.

Girlfriends are cool
Our first date was good. We turned tampons into manta rays, smoked dave out, played car tag, and realized for the eleventh time how bad of a driver mike is. None of which are date related activities but still stacked up to be quite a time. We had more fun than max and neil! Up yours.

Chiday
Joe spent $15 getting a talking yak out of the claw machine at denny's. It was worth it. Sean is in the bathroom behind me cutting his hair, and no, he has no prior experience what so ever. We made an attempt to see the microphones tonight but tickets were sold out. Of course we found this out after we boarded the train. Allergies suck.
