Here we go again.

K, let me throw down a little blog here.  B-Ridge has been reminding me that I am the ultimate slacker when it comes to blogging.  It is true.  I can accept that.  Period.

Right now I am listening to a Radiohead Jay-Z collaboration and I have to say it is absolutely amazing.  It reminds me of how things that are so opposite and would seem to clash, can complement, complete and come together perfectly.  

Pulls it all together like a pair of rainbow laces on a pair of Nikes.  When I was five I had just learned to tie my shoes and nothing was cooler than those bright gaudy laces which drew everyone's eyes to my new accomplishment. 

I know I spend too much time trying to make things work out just right, but I guess I am chilling out in those regards.  Things continue to shift around me, and I feel like I am standing still most of the time.  But every now and then I get to see how much I am shifting too.

The Fully Sick Blog Post

I was recently asked what do I do for fun. My common response is that I just don’t have any, but that is mainly because I am a perpetual liar (for humor’s sake of course, I couldn’t really lie and live with myself.)  Yes I am at school or work all the time, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let it be boring.  I am physically unable to stop myself from putting a little touch of “Phil” in everything I do.  When I was on my mission I made “The Fully Sick Form Letter” to give people and update on my life.  Consider this the “Fully Sick Blog Post”  to update you on my immaturities.  

Last semester I had a Chemistry teacher named Sergei (Sir-gay is how it is pronounced).  If you haven’t seen “The Man Who Knew Too Little” please watch it.  It probably won’t help you see why I love the name Sergei so much, but you'll laugh none the less.  Any ways, this dude was like the jolly Ukrainian giant of chemistry.  One day my friend Ryan asked me what my first thought is when I think of Sergei.  I pondered for a moment… and responded, “Rainbows and Unicorns.”  Sounds gay, but when that dude lectured I felt like I was going to "My Little Pony's" Palace or something.  He just made chemistry seem magical... in a Ukrainian way.  Ryan agreed, and that resulted in us ripping his photo off the school website.  The following was created.








This image had quite the public appearance.  

Up next, Obama!!!  Ok, I am not attempting to make a political statement (I am not as interested in politics as I am in human nature), but I will admit that I had a ton of fun making fun of Obama during the election. This is total political humor so you'll have to forgive me.  (you'll have to read everything inside the image to fully appreciate it)


There was the random ENG 102 final, which you have probably seen (p.s. please don't player hate on these images. they were all done in paint.  I am too cheap for photoshop.):



And finally, the "Patience Award!"  Pavithra is a tutor in the engineer tutoring center who has helped me through numerous math problems.  We have this running joke with her because one time I tried to solve a mathematical problem using "faulty methods," and then attempted to argue with her about the method.  It ended with her rapidly clicking her tongue at me (like a machine gun), getting really frustrated and then proving me wrong.  Humbling and hilarious all at once.  
Well the other day she was helping this one kid, and I'll admit, he sounded like a real pain.  Like a thorn with vocal chords.  She was getting really ticked off with him.  I started taking candid photos with my camera phone, one thing led to another...


I don't know if she fully got it when Ryan and I gave it to her, but we had a ton of fun in the process.  I guess that is how life is.  Peace.
