Forgotten but not gone

I am quite sure now that you all have missed me. I went away to college, and am now enjoying myself with my fellow Aggies in College Station.  I have enjoyed a fabulous social life, including Michael's coming of age (but we won't talk about that).

There (I) was a great lunar eclipse last week, but no one I know was up early enough to see it. I made an even bigger shadow than the last time I decided to show off my ginormousness.

A lot has happened these last few months.  Several of my most serious friends have gone off to foreign countries, like China, and some are even (=gasp=) going to TU.  They have been good to me, though, so I like them anyway.

Well, drop me a line, or at least some kudos so I know you are alive and well.

I have not had much time to write, now that I lead the life of a celebrity.  The Guiness book of world records did not help me a whole lot on St. Paddy's day when I rolled up for a pint'o'stout.  Thet refused to serve me, something about being underage. No Guiness??? On St Paddy's Day? That is sacriligeous!  Why did I bother to send in the stats on my corpulent, ginormous, magnifent, self ?  Well, fame has its price, I guess, and in all cases, I want to be a good ROLL model for my fans, so I am "sticking" to healthier libations, like water.

Almost happy new year!  This year, I am planning to be the ball drop again, this time I think I will drop off the top of the empire state building...it would fit in well with the King Kong revival.  For you physics majors: 

a..how tall is the empire state building?

b..how much do I weigh? (see website stats)

c..what is the rate of impact that I will have when I hit the sidewalk?  (assume there is no snow, no canopies on doors or windows, and no poodles to shelter/interfere with my fall.

Well, here it is Christmas..the big day!  Last year I received many wonderful presents: a car, a girlfriend, a calendar, and many wonderful rolls of ducttapeball to feed my voracious appetite.  So certainly this year, I expected no less, especially since I was so magnificently turned out for the occasion.  So, imagine my surprise when all I received was a crumpled piece of black ducttape....to signify coal, I was told. What ever did I do wrong???

I don't think that rolling over that small beagle was that egregious. They bark alot anyway, and the meat went for a good cause, the local Chinese restaurant said they would serve it for Chinese New year, the year of the dog, whenever that next occurs.

 

And there is not a thing wrong with riding in the back of a pick up truck, not a thing. My driver was NOT going over 30.  I say that that person in the Lamorghini was just driving too close. A broken windshield and a hospital stay are what you should expect if you are going to ride someone's tail.  Hey, if you can afford to own a Lambo, then you should know how to drive, or at least hire a lambo limo driver to get you there safely.

 

I even attempted to find a paying job this year. I went to the Olive Garden because I hear they make their own lasagna and fettucine noodles.  I thought, what with the price of electricity doubling the past few months, I could just roll around on the dough with perfect result, and their electric bill would stay low.  They said they didn't want to pay a lot of dough to have flat dough...now how lame is that?  Hellll-o...how does that boost the economy? If you eat there and their meals have gone up, don't blame me.

 

I had a great time catching up with some of my great buds--thanks for the visit Jason and Kippton, and KelcK, too. 

 

Well, in spite of the lack of materialistic outpouring, my best wishes for a Merry Christmas go out to you all.  Next year, hopefully you will remember how gracious I was during this time and keep me in mind when it is Christmas list time.  Hey, by next year you will all be clamoring for my attention because I will most likely be seated in the Governor's Mansion.  I'll remember who my friends are....
