Well I don't know what to do with myself
Just don´t know what to do whith myself
Planning everything for two
Doing everything with you
And now that we're through
I just dont know what to do.

- "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" (The White Stripes)

So the responce from my long-awaited update has fallen into two distinct categories. The "Colin, your Niece is so freaking cute that I want to puke" and the "Colin, you're a wuss. Stop whining because no one cares" categories. This has been my plan all along. As long as I can divert you guys from enjoying what I have to write, the pressure is off. Some people say to shoot for the stars...I say "Shoot for that cloud over there. You don't want to make it seem like you're a total waste of space by not leaving the ground, but aiming for the stars is too much damn work."

In other news, I went to that Cavs-Suns game last night, and seeing as how it was my first NBA experience, I have this to say...PLEASE START SOON, MAJOR LEAUGE BASEBALL. Dear Lord, how do people watch NBA games? From our seats, we could see the game just fine, but there was ZERO sound from the court. No squeeks of the shoes, no thunderous sounds from big-time dunks, no "swish" of the net...Nothing. When you add that disapointment to the constant barage of terrible Hip-Hop music they played...I felt like driving to NYC and choking David Stern. Or complaining about it on my Blog...Which I have just done. I now feel better.

Valete,
Colin

We are the dateless losers!
Lonely until we die!
So unappreciated!
Why, why, why, why?

- "Dateless Losers" (Reel Big Fish)

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written anything here. To the three or four people who bother to read my ramblings...I'm sorry. To the millions of other people who AREN'T reading this...How 'bout them Cowboys?

So, there's been alot of things in my life since the last time I entered something. For one, I had my 19th Birthday on March 12th, so that's cool. I voted for the first time (I'm now officially the ONLY registered Republican in the Mahoning County. You think I'm joking?) I also conducted a kick-ass interview with a really cool guy from of all places...The Catholic Exponent Newspaper. It really gave me alot of great insight into my beloved field of Journalism (Tony Kornheiser, I'm coming for your job, Slick...) That's really the jist of it, I suppose. I lead quite the exciting life...

I do have a question for my loyal masses (again...All three of you.) What do you do when you care about someone, but can't say let it be known? I mean, what do you do when you'd like to just hold someone, but know it's never going to be a possibility? Do you let it go and look elsewhere? I mean, I suppose there's no reason to bother holding a candle for something that is never to be...Oh well, I guess I'm rambling...Again. Sorry about that.

To apologize for my ramblings, I'll show you guys a picture of my favorite girl in the entire world, my niece, Alexis. If you look closely, you'll see that we're both wearing my world famous "Penis Hat" (Long story...Don't ask.)

‘Cause I don’t want to break
Your fine face, I can’t take
The way you wanna wrap me up
Inside your smile

- "Smile" (Weezer)

Thanks to The Exchange, I've finally added the complete catalogue of Weezer CDs to my collection. This is a good thing. Weezer is a good thing. Cherry Cheesecake is a good thing. Cherry Cheesecake clogs your arteries. Weezer doesn't. The worst thing Weezer does is make you want to get a pair of thick black glasses...

So, in other news, I've finally decided to embrace my naturally curly hair. I don't know how well you know me, but this is a serious change in my life. Ever since I decided to take an interest in my hair, I've been on a non-stop "straightening" rampage. You name a hair spray or shampoo that straightens hair...I've tried it. Not anymore, baby. I picked up some curl shampoo and curl spray, and I'm going all-out. Think Ashton Kutcher, but with more of a "flip" at the ends of my hair (and with considerably more intelligence.) I think this could work out, but I have to be careful to balance the line between "good" and "hippie", so we'll see...

Slán go fóill,
Colin

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

- "Round and Round" (RATT)

...Remember when I said I'd quote some 80's Hair Metal band lyrics? There's one of them. Never let it be said that I don't follow up on my promices...Except for that one time when I promised my cousin that I'd replace Optimus Prime as the leader of the Autobots. That's probably not going to happen. Unless I get into a terrible accident and have to be put back together with the aid of machinery...But that would just make me The Six Million Dollar Man, which isn't the show I'm aiming for...

...Am I rambling again?

Ummm...So what's up with my life? Surprisingly...Not much. I've been fighting through a nasty head cold for the past few days. It's really affecting me...Now, instead of watching TV and playing NCAA Football at the same time, I only have the energy for one task at a time.

DAMN YOU, HEAD COLD! DAMN YOU TAAAHHHH HELL!!!


...Am I rambling again?


Wantu bikher,
