And happy golden birthday Rachel!

Day 364

2009-04-19T12:00:00.000-04:00

On the way back from Chicago, Joe and I stopped for gas. Joe is pissed because the pump handle was broken and he had to hold it the entire time.

Day 363

2009-04-18T12:00:00.002-04:00

Joe and I travelled 800 miles to Chicago to see the Blackhawks duke it out against the Flames... in which they won 3-2. What an epic weekend! This picture is of warm ups.

Day 362

2009-04-17T12:00:00.000-04:00

Went to the park while Rachel went to class and soaked in the sun, laid in the grass, and admired the skyline. Hey, look! A balloon!

Day 361

2009-04-16T12:00:00.001-04:00

Trip to Philadelphia today to see The Matches and Third Eye Blind at The Electric Factory with Rachel, Matt, and Katie. So much fun!

Day 360

2009-04-15T12:00:00.000-04:00

Working at Hazlet's pool today and they have a blackboard. Note: the only thing in my handwriting is my name because I am lazy.

Day 359

2009-04-14T12:00:00.001-04:00

One of the trucks by the new school that is being built. This picture came out different than I expected it would. I especially like the background sky with the wires.

Day 358

2009-04-13T12:00:00.000-04:00

I have two of these left from my childhood to use... any suggestions?

Day 357

Kristen asleep on the dining room table after our Easter dinner.
Happy Easter!

This was such a fun show to watch... thanks Naura!

Day 355

2009-04-10T12:00:00.000-04:00

Taking a break from writing to doodle. I'm such a slacker.

Day 354

2009-04-09T12:00:00.001-04:00

Every time I go to visit or pick my brother up from Rowan I pass this. Well, I finally took a picture. It is a great way to advertise: a truck covered half in mulch.

Day 353

2009-04-08T12:00:00.000-04:00

The trees blossoming in Philly now are gorgeous.

Day 352

2009-04-07T12:00:00.001-04:00

I always find buttons like this randomly and do not know to what they belong.

Day 351

2009-04-06T12:00:00.001-04:00

My dad made chili and rice today for us and then stuck some chips into it.

Some fun effects with some fun mints.

Day 348

2009-04-03T12:00:00.001-04:00

Craig, Joe, and I went to Pizza Hut (after not going to New York) and actually sat there to eat. I haven't stayed to eat in that place since probably high school. The food was so much better than delivery.

Day 347

2009-04-02T12:00:00.000-04:00

Every time I do the tests for the pool I think of two things. One, a career as a chemist and two, Rorschach's mask in Watchmen.

Day 346

2009-04-01T12:00:00.000-04:00

Annoying Tom all day for April Fools was a lot of fun... but apparently he did not get a kick out of it. He came to my house and tackled me. Here is a glimpse of me spamming his facebook wall before he deleted them all:

Day 345

2009-03-31T12:00:00.000-04:00

Stationed at my post. Like my swim trunks?

Starting this week I will be spending a lot more time here other than working.

Out to Applebee's with my closest friends: Craig, Melissa, Joe, Naura, Tom, Al, Kirby Richie, Kristen, Sal, and RACHEL! (Joe, Kristen, and some of Sal pictured with me acting like goof nuggets). Afterward we went bowling.

Day 341

2009-03-27T12:00:00.001-04:00

Joe, Naura, and I went to Friday's and bumped into Jason aka "Guy At Will's". Then we took this picture.

Day 340

2009-03-26T12:00:00.001-04:00

All I did to make this sick effect in my picture was the breathe warm air onto the inside of my windshield and then shoot it through the blue strip on the top. Gross, but effective!

Day 339

2009-03-25T12:00:00.000-04:00

Happy 24th Birthday to me! Wow I'm old.

Day 338

2009-03-24T12:00:00.000-04:00

I went to SJU for the final Appalachia meeting and everyone in my group sang Happy Birthday to me... it was a blast! I played around with the colors in this photo to reflect my mood: crazy.

Day 337

2009-03-23T12:00:00.000-04:00

Doesn't anyone else do this to their marble notebooks? Or is it just me?

Day 336

Out to Famous Dave's with my family for my birthday. Here are my sibs and I posing sideways next to the brownie/ice cream treat:

Day 330

2009-03-16T12:00:00.001-04:00

First day of my new/old job. Staring at this for 3 hours straight can get a little bit boring. I like how that cute little seahorse makes a spinal injury that much more bearable.

Day 329

2009-03-15T12:00:00.000-04:00

The last remaining piece of my beloved car. Cryingface.

I absolutely love learning about new bands from compilations. I picked this one up from Kentucky and there are a bunch of great songs on this CD.

Day 327

2009-03-13T12:00:00.000-04:00

Jim, my affirmation partner, and the Crank's Creek stick I had everyone sign for him. I wish we could all just go back to Kentucky this instant!

"A comedian died last night, and nobody cares. Nobody cares but me."

Day 317

2009-03-03T12:00:00.000-05:00

"The sky grows bigger every day and the other week I hopped on a train,
Cutting through state lines to comfort you as the crow flies,
Out there in there offing everything was melon and orange."

Day 316

2009-03-02T12:00:00.001-05:00

I got these worry beads from Greece and every time I get into my car I remember that amazing trip!

Day 315

2009-03-01T12:00:00.000-05:00

The newest addition to the Pereira family... Trigger!! And he fell asleep on my lap and drooled on my shorts...

Day 309

2009-02-23T12:00:00.002-05:00

Jack: And where does that path end, John?
Locke: The path ends at the hatch. The hatch, Jack -- all of it -- all of it happened so that we could open the hatch.
Jack: No, no, we're opening the hatch so that we can survive.
Locke: Survival is all relative, Jack.
Jack: I don't believe in destiny.
Locke: Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.

Day 308

2009-02-22T12:00:00.000-05:00

Today I was invited to facilitate one of SJU's trips down to Appalachia! Time to break out my old work gloves.

Day 272

2009-01-17T12:00:00.001-05:00

I have to admit that I was impressed with Red Lobster tonight. They told us an hour wait and we sat down in 15 minutes. Good work, guys! Here are my sibs around the 6 minute mark.

Day 271

2009-01-16T12:00:00.001-05:00

She will probably hate me for this picture, but it sums up our night so well! Jaclyn got all 4 of her wisdom teeth out a month after I did, so here is me taking her to Coldstone for ice cream.

We had to tell the girl to chop up the brownie into tiny crumbs... haha!

Day 270

2009-01-15T12:00:00.000-05:00

Heather got me addicted to Hale and Hearty. Half sandwich and medium soup combo is the best. I took a picture for Nenner since she's never heard of this restaurant and waned to prove the saying on the cup is true about the consistency of their food.

Day 269

2009-01-14T12:00:00.000-05:00

My sister very quickly pointed out that my shirt looks like graph paper. She's a smart one. Notice how I'm rollin' in the dough.

Gross bricks.

Day 266

2009-01-11T12:00:00.000-05:00

Recently found this in a pile of old stuff and it made me miss college a lot. 2005 was so long ago.
