If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em…

I don’t oft complain about the life around me: I created it, I choose to make differences and I can essentially be the laziest mo-fo on the planet, if I so desire. I’ve come to recognize on many, many, nay, several occasions, the amount of complaint-ism (is there a better word?) that occurs on the campus of Cleveland State University. When I enrolled last summer, I was GEEKED (again, better...

Holy crap!

Tonight, I had a fantastic first date with someone I actually liked at the end of the night. Maybe it was something in the strawberry shortcakes… (And I did not inhale the gasses from the Redi-Whip).

Darn, I chose Foreigner…

Text from Pittsburgh: In the last ten minutes Ive heard faithfully open arms and when the lights in the city song on different channels. If this was the lottery Id go with journey. And this one from Toledo (emphasis on the double entendre): Group presentation. Great, I’ve never been more excited for an assignment. How do we get grouped? Is it random or do I get to...

Google Says What?

Yes, folks, it’s that time again. I’ve left you in suspense for far too long. Here’s this week’s best searches: 1. Break up with boyfriend, get drunk Take ten of these and call me at 2 a.m. 2. Do crazy things with your boyfriend Naked chinese fire drills? Skinny dipping in ponds in the neighborhood? Making S’mores, then smearing them all over each other while camping in the...

It’s sooooo good being me!

Hey, Cleveland hot stuff? Get off your freaking high horse already! I went to Ultra this weekend to dance to Dan “The Automator” (and dance I certainly did). Prior to heading downstairs (or pushing through the ever-so-annoying “line mob” that accumulates at the back of Liquid), I grab a drink at the upstairs bar. This buxom blonde bombshell pushes past me and sneers back with a...

Case of the Mondays (and an interview meme)

Courtesy of Hot Coffee Girl: 1. Have you thought about (seriously) moving out of Cleveland? On a daily basis, unfortunately. Strangely enough, I had this overwhelming sense of “I don’t WANT to leave” this morning while driving to work. I really do love Cleveland, but it’s one of those relationships like “What have YOU done for ME lately?” It’s a one-sided...

Drive Thru next window, please!

During class the other day, the prof lectured about “frame theory” and each person’s view and approach on the world in different ways. Anyway… After briefly discussing a hypothetical situation where a McDonald’s fast food worker would greet you with enthusiasm when anyone would just expect the robotic “May I take your order?” all I could do was sit there and...

Dumbest thing I heard all day (at least 6 times)

“Are you going to the game?” Does David Dellucci look hot in white pants? DUH! More to...

Just another reason to ‘Believe in Cleveland’…

K: What IS that fishy smell? Mel: Well, you know when the lake starts to thaw all the dead fish start floating and decomposing near the shoreline. It’s just another reason to “Believe in Cleveland.” I granted permission away from my scholary duties this weekend since I was feeling 94 percent-ish and my self-imposed spring break was drinking well spent. Thanks to Cleveland Madman, I...
