Post #9- I like to be gone most of the time, and you like to be home most of the time...

Hello "readers"! Another little break between posts I am not going to sweat over it much I think that 9 posts is surely a achievement.

This week was an interesting week. Not the type of weeks that seem to go on forever, but a pleasantly interesting and desperately concise week. A week of firsts: On Thursday you probably watched a new clip of herds of people lining up for an iPhone all day outside of your local Apple product distributor. Well, I was one of them, it is ok I forgive what you unknowingly said about me. I thought that since I had pre ordered mine I would be able to just walk and say "Hello, my name is Todd" to be answered with a swift "We've been expecting you."Which in turn would lead to the revealing of a secret and very secluded stair case that winds down to a very dark corridor lined with a million doors. I wouldn't be lost because an Apple Employee would lead me to the 33 door on the left. I would be surprised when I look up and see the name "JOBS" posted on the door. When just as I'm about to open the door it opens automatically and there is no one other than... George Clooney. "George?" (we are besties) "What are you doing in Steve Jobs office?

" In which case he will reply "Ya know, it's a summer job. It's for fun. How the hell are ya Todd?". About this time the amazed Apple Employee has left us, and I can here her iShoes as she goes up the stairs. "We'll I guess this one is yours. Peace." Which is when I leave walking past the herds of people and drive home only to crawl back in bed nestling my shiny new iPhone 4 tightly to my bosom (yea bosoms, get over it). This was all the fabricated dream of some hopeful who thought it'd be easy. I waited 7 hours 7am-2pm to get it. Missing class, and barely making it to work after the hour drive home. Phew. Definitely going to reconsider the next time, whenever that is. Quick review incase your planning to pick one up. iPhone 4= Aluminum free completely recyclable sex.

Things have been kind of rough mentally for me lately. I feel like I'm losing all my closest friends to an evil monster named Europe. I don't know if they picked up their tourist

attraction guide game or something but all I know is I never got the cool new pamphlet that everyone else did! Anyhow my gf is there, and a couple my friends are going in the near future. I think I can deal without a few friends, but my girlfriend is gone most of the time (over the summer) and that is pretty difficult for me. We get to talk for maybe 30 mins tops every other day like prison visits. The visitor her and me being the one sentenced to eternal missing my lady. Phoooey.

Yesterday, I was privileged enough to spend about an hour with a group of High School boys (my friends brother and his friends) and they were just chit chatting about school (girls). I realized that although I was the same way in high school, kids spend most of their time talking about other people. She's hot, she's not. He's so funny, He's a loser. I have to admit some of the stories were nostalgically entertaining. I just could not stop thinking about how much life can change and the realization came to me that thoug

h this wasn't guaranteed it was highly possible that these kids will get to college and never speak to one another again (fight, loss of contact who knows). I also came to the realization that this was very normal. It's funny how quickly you can go from being absolute best friends with someone and feel like you don't even know them in a short amount of time. I like this about life. I know that some of the things that make me the happiest is when an old friend calls me. "catching up" is almost more fun than keeping up. Thats all I really have to say about that don't really know where I was going with it... just popped into my head.

I was at Steak n' Shake recently and I was waiting on the ketchup because my friend was

using it. He was squeezing the living ketchup out of it and holding it at least a foot and a half away from the table. Seeing this I thought- "Geeze, that's a tough ketchup bottle". However my faith was too strong in the ketchup for when I took a squeeze or two it erupted into a fiery ball of ketchup madness that overwhelmed (and frightened) both my plate and my french fries. Bodily damage minimal, however I am not sure those fries will ever be the same again. Needless to say our completely enthusiastic and smiley waiter (sarcasm) acted like nothing happened, and couldn't even spare a napkin. It's ok though because they were real yummy!

Well, it's sunday night. So with that I wish you all a very splendid beginning of your week. Remember that its not Monday you got to worry about its Tuesday... Damn you Tuesday. Hope to hear your feedback and read your comments!! Thanks.
