Yes, that is the title of this post. I'm not going to reference how long it has been since I last posted (Did you notice that I just did?) because Grandpop has reminded me of the last date. You think I'm kidding, but he actually knows the date without even looking at the blog. He literally wakes up and checks every single morning. I know, devotion at its finest. This might be a good time to tell him that he can get updates as to when I do update it. It's pretty simple, but then again Grandmom and Grandpop can't even figure out YouTube, so this might be a little much on them.
I'm sure you're all as interested in hearing me talk about my grandparents as Ferris Bueller's classmates are in learning about voodoo economics, but I think it was necessary. Well, about as necessary as it is for Patches O'Houlihan to drink his own urine. Zing, two badass movie references in two sentences. I'm on fire.
You may be wondering, why now? It's pretty simple really. I didn't post over the summer, again. Yes, I do have more time on my hands than I do when I'm in school, but I prefer to spend it setting Minesweeper world records rather than blogging. When school comes around, I have actual work to get done, which I put off by blogging. It's completely counterintuitive (SAT word of the day) and makes no sense at all, but it's the excuse I came up with this time.
There is one particular story I have to tell you about, and it has happened fairly recently. Over the past couple of months I have started working on college applications. For anyone who is also doing these, they know that email is very important. You would also be able to understand my concern when I logged onto my Comcast account to find all of my emails gone. Literally. Vanished. They weren't even in the trash bin. After some super sleuth work by me and Jeff (mostly by me), we figured we should call Comcast. He described the problem for about an hour, and they said they would have it working again within a day. Not hearing anything, Jeff called back the next day. To his dismay, there was an automated number to press for problems with the online email, one that had not been there the day before. Coincidence? I think not. I know what you are thinking, and yes, I did cause 1-800-COMCAST to create a line specifically for my needs. It was probably the greatest moment of my life so far.
Along with this epic return to blogging, I'm going to update you on a few things that have changed since the start of this blog.
1. I no longer care for sweatervests. As crushing as this may be for all of my readers (all three of you), I honestly haven't worn a sweatervest in quite some time. Granted, I usually sport it once during the holiday season, but that's really about it. I've moved on to other fashion quests, with my main one being sweatshirt-shirts and sweatpant-shorts.
2. I'm not going to get on here very often at all, and when I do the posts will be short. Probably shorter than this. This may surprise you, but writing blogs actually does take a lot of time. This also may surprise you, but I'm a person who doesn't really have a lot of time on his hands.
3. I effing love Journey. I don't care what any of you have to say (looking at you Fat Dub), Steve Perry could sing me to sleep. I know 80's Jake (TBD) will appreciate this, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Tell me Lights isn't the purist song this side of Meet Virginia, and I will seriously reconsider why I am even talking to you in the first place.
4. I love finding Bro names. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch I Love You, Man. Bro Namath, Bro Montana, and Dude von Dudenstein are all suggested in that fine piece of cinematography. 80's Jake and I have spent the first few days of history class not completing our work, but instead brainstorming fantastic Bro names. Sandy Brofax, Frosty the Broman, and Vincent Van Bro are all solid selections, but our favorite rests in Bro Pesci. My good buddy Drew Lewis has even gotten in on the fun, by naming me Ben Brobel. I'm appreciative of the name, Brometheus.
5. I'm one of the vice presidents of our school this year. I'm not telling you this to brag (who am I kidding? I'm telling you this to brag), rather I'm doing it to show you the greatest video in the creation of mankind. Adam Salam and I decided to run for president as a team, and with the help of Jackay, made this super awesome video to emcompass our goals as president. I'm going to link it here, just in case the video below gets cut off. For the record, our presidential speech literally consisted of us introducing ourselves and me saying "We pretty much only have a video. So, yeah." Enjoy.
