I am a closet animal lover.  If you've ever heard me talking about my own pets- Max (my dog) or my favorite, Frisky (my cat) you can sort of see my soft side for animals.  Other than that I am not really outspoken about my love of animals.  For starters nothing troubles me more than driving down 63 and seeing a contorted deer looking like a fucking rockem sockem.  All throughout high school my neighbors orchestrated dog fighting.  The sounds of the day were filled with growls and whimpers of fighting dogs.  The nights were filled with the cries and howls of the maimed animals that were strong enough to survive.  My mom and I actually put our own safety on the line several times attempting to free the animals.  Like prisoners they knew of nothing else and usually just stayed.  So we gave them water and food to ease their pain as much as possible.  My favorite movie as a child was Bambi and I wept when mama Bambi died.  My favorite pastime was taking on the persona of Bambi, Bugs Bunny, and the Ninja Turtles.  They were my favorites.  During one period of my childhood I even gave up killing flies or other insects.  My thinking was they had families that liked seeing them everyday too, right?  That was a long time ago and now I'll smash a bug in a second, but my love and respect of animals has stayed.

Which brings me to my point.  I have absolutely no idea why it seems like the funniest thing in the world to me are when girls flip out after some accidental trauma they have caused an animal.  I always suspected this, and my response to the story of two fish deaths has convinced me of this. I now have two minnows that were bait but that I brought back from my fishing trip Sunday.  In the process of trying to figure out how to take care of them I heard two fish death stories and have never laughed so hard in my life.  One involved my resident Becca who in an attempt to provide her fish fresh water filled his bold with straight up cold water from the facet.  I hear the water was so cold that condensation formed on the outside of the bowel.  She saw this and then proceeded to plop the fish down into the bowl.  Needless to say the fish was stone cold dead.  Oh man the next time I talked to her I started laughing right in her presence.  She told me that she still hadn't gotten over the ordeal and had hung black cloths over the fish bowl.  That only made me laugh ten times harder.  And then the most concrete evidence yet that despite my love for animals, the asshole in me is able to overlook that fact for a cheap laugh.  One time on my way to McDonalds with friend Dani and Royce we stopped at US Bank to go to the ATM.  Next thing we know we see a cat trying to run across 63 and it gets nicked by a pickup truck.  Now domestic cats are my favorite and most loved animals of all!!!  When we saw this I screamed out loud and was on the verge of tears.  I even remember my exact words, "Oh my God that is the most horrible thing I have ever seen."  My female friend Dani was one of the friends in the car as we watched this.  She goes, "guys lets go get the cat, he's still moving!"  I knew for one that the cat was done for, and two that I did not have the wits about me to see a cat in such bad shape.  So I simply ignored her and tried to cope with my own sorrows.  "Come on guys lets go help it!  It's still moving!!!"  "Dani the cat is going to die, we can't do anything for it."  "Fine you punks, I'll go by myself!"  At this point Royce and I held her in the car and then in the next second you will not believe what happened.  A fucking 18 Wheeler rumbling down 63 ran smooth the fuck over the cat and flattened his ass like a pancake.  Royce and I looked at Dani, her bottom lip quivered and her eyes got watery, "Oh no!!!!!!!!  He hit the cat!!!!"  At this point something came over me.  I was no longer quiet and distraught.  It was quite the opposite.  I felt lively and jovial.  And then it happened.  I burst into uncontrollable laughter.  The tears in my eyes went that fast from tears of grief to tears of laughter.  "You sonuvabitch!!!! You, OHHHH," fumed Dani.  This only made me laugh harder.  I believe I had to exit the vehicle and lay out on the ground I was laughing so hard.  It just amazed me the transformation.  I was now cracking jokes left and right about how the cat got mashed.  "Hey Dani now you don't have to buy your pancakes?"  "Meowwwwwwww, VROMMMMMMM"

Wow actual down time.  Had no idea what to do with it and then I remembered my old friend Mr. Xanga here.  So much has obviously happened from my last post I am not going to even attempt to remember anything.  Some things still fresh is the fact that I had a 50-minute presentation and 3 tests between Tuesday and Thursday.  It seriously felt as hectic as finals week.  But it is over and I think I miraculously escaped with a B-minus average on it all.  We'll see.  Today was really fun.  It was the Ryle Hall Date Auction!!  I wanted to do something wild when I took the stage, and I had the perfect idea.  Everyone on staff with me this year gets on my case about cutting all the sleeves off of my T-Shirts.  And they have a point because I think I am up to 6 T-shirts that are now like I-shirts as Charlie put it.  Anyway I cut the sleeves off of my date auction T-Shirt that we all wore but then I tape em back on.  I go on stage and I am like dang it I said large not small.  I shred the sleeves off and throw them on the ground and go, "now that's better!"  It was awesome.  JC decided to start my bid off at 15 instead of 5 because of that.  In the end I ended up going to Andrea O Brien for 40 dollars.  She let little Zane do the honors since I'll be babysitting him one night.  Oh man that's going to be awesome he like to jump off of shit and play just like me!!  Instant match.  I told Andrea that and I saw fear in her eyes, lol.  Oh and then I realize I can bid on people before Amanda Kueper goes on stage.  If you know me at all you know how I feel about Ms. Kueper.  We won't get into detail because I think she'll read this but I'll just say I am a big fan of her and number "23."  That's in reference to when I compared her ass to Michael Jordan in addition to other great feats.  So yeah I am bidding like crazy but so is everyone else.  She goes for 40 dollars and I had exactly 39.25 in my wallet.  Turns out the 40 bid wouldn't have went higher than that.  That's right I missed a date with Kueper due to 76 cents.  Ugh!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!  Not to mention that when hotties Abby Simmons and Charona were being auctioned off I wasn't sure if people in the auction could bid on other people in the auction.  AHHHHHH!!!!!  But I still ended the night extremely lucky and smelling of roses.  What else would you call getting bought by a 5 year old and a big house to tear up with him as well as buying two hot swimmers in a package deal?  I feel like a million bucks!  Ready or not her I come Karen and Jessie!!!

Today was filled with deep thought, competition, friendship, and the discovery of a mind-blowing piece of technology. 

The deep thought was me trying to search the depths of my feelings and attractions to certain girls and dating in general.  I feel so lost right now it's not even funny.  First off I see these roads I want to go down but it seems like aspects of the roads aren't compatible with my vehicle.  As much as I just want to plow my vehicle over those aspects it can't happen.  Then you have what seems to be an endless supply of hilly roads that just appear exhilarating to drive.  By now you should know hill mean ass.  And I just want to like test drive my car on a few of these roads for the one time experience.  Now this can and should work but for some reason my car is stalling right on the incline and ends up rolling back to point A.  Am I so afraid of committing to a road that I think even through test driving I might be compelled to stay the course?  I'll save the rest for tomorrow deep thought session.  

I played ultimate Frisbee today.  Charlie is going to make a great gym teacher; he circled up all us amateurs and showed us some Frisbee technique and was really helpful.  Showered and ate dinner I was in the rylefeteria for about an hour and a half.  Just chillin and admiring the view.  Went to Malita's What Happened to All the Mexicans program which is a funny and creative movie about the importance of Mexicans in America.  Livin La Vida Loca!!!!  You all remember that shit I know.  Life might not have been possible in 1999 without the hit from Ricky.  

Then I found this awesome program online called Google Earth.  It's an absolutely mind-blowing piece of technology that allows you to get satellite images of anywhere in the world.  That's right anywhere I proceeded for 3 hours tonight to show people their homes and other places around the world.  I am certain I can do big SA things with this piece of technology I can't wait.  And thus I have my most memorable experience from tonight.  This girl I never met before comes up and has me find her house.  I do and it looks like this chick lives in a gated community.  She's only like a few blocks from rap start J-Kwon's house and believe it or not they have the same type of house.  Yeah she's a rich girl I guess.  Anyway I show her how different where I came up was from where she did.  When she saw my house and I quote, "That can't be your house right there!  It looks like a little shack!!!!"  So I go, "bu bu but... yeah it's my house, it's not that small it's just tha..."  "She interrupts me and goes, "Like oh my gosh, it like the size of our tool shed or pool house or something!"  And then my personal favorite, "hey look at this guys little house... it looks like the C-Store!"  The C-Store is the campus convenience store which may be a little bigger than a dorm room.  So yeah then some other people tried to make me feel better by saying, "hey no it's alright Trey, my house that my parents had when we were still poor and I was a baby was just about as small as your house."  Yeah that made me feel all better.    It was crazy folks but I really was laughing harder than anyone else and I understand that it's just different cultures and ways of life and I was just excited that we all could kind share it with each other.  That it I need to go to bed.  But yes if you've never used it go to www.download.com and download this program called Google Earth, it'll allow you to get Satellite images of anything in the world... I knew it's too good to be true just try it! 

I got new cologne called Untamed I love that shit.

The adventures of being an SA:

Getting a call that there is a bat in the building at 12:30am and going on a hunt for it. 

Responding to the scene armed with a cowboy hat.

Chasing after and screaming at the the bat while creating complete pandemonium.  

Trying to snag the bat out of mid-air like he's a pop up. 

Trying to make sliding catches as the bat dips down.  

What fun, I love my job.

Night.
