Well, the Cats again pull off an amazing show. I mean did you see some of that show boating? Oh well, it is has been a long day of absolutely nothing, isn't that wonderful?
No real updates, other than to say keep it cool; spread the love, fight the man.
Peace,

Ok, 2004 Recap (Thanks Paulus) I guess if I had to pick a date that the previous new year started on it would have to be mid-January. Not that I didn't enjoy New Years, but my year started in K-Tower 1808. And while not all my memories there are the best, there were definitely some good ones. Slone and I still talk about it like it is a fairy tale. The girls, the parties, the games, the EVERYTHING. And we were known, both in person and in photography.
I didn't really get out in 2004, I mean none of us did. We were self sufficient and for lack of a better term a family. I mean looking back there were things that we probably shouldn't have done, but you can't look back on these things. I meet a ton of girls this past year, and had some fun with a few. I'm not going to go into details, but those of you who were there with me probably have a couple of different names on the top of your mind.
I developed and ungodly love for Ultimate Frisbee, to the point where I would play at least twice a day, if not throw a frisbee around every other day. I mean I just love that game, it is so great. And I developed a habit of playing with people that will cause me to bleed/have a heart attack, which is all good.
And looking back on these things just make the feeling of not being in school more odd, as I didn't go back after that semester (at least till now 2005). Although I did get to find myself during this time, it is different. Work sucked, although it was pretty easy. Christmas was terrible.
Oh, and Panama City is garbage for spring break, regardless of age/gender/physique/anything.
However, not to get ahead of myself; the summer was amazing. I hung out with Willie Hersh, as he lived in town during the "off-season". This created what I like to think off as a HC reunion. I mean there were people that I didn't know lived anymore that crawled out of the cracks, slight acquaintances and everything. However these were good times, it was Paulus, Jay, Clay, Slone, Patrick, Alex, GK, Will, Trisha, K-Tizzle, Abe, Ishmael, Porter, Deves, Brian, Dan, Ryan, I mean everybody (but Ted, but that is a different story). Ah the memories.
Poker was almost a constant most of the summer, poker, movies, something, monopoly.
Ah monopoly. Chris, David, John, Slone, Alex, and I. Oh and sometimes we would have to deal with Chandra and one of her freaky friends, whatever.
So school came and we got my current place of residence. Quite quickly it became obvious that Clay is absolutely useless. He does nothing around the house, and despite his dorm room performance; he is clearly the messiest in the house. I mean to this day it is ridiculous. Oh well.
The year ended with another reunion, and more people getting hooked up to my social chain. Alex has made connections to current freshman at UK and seniors at HC; which means more people are now in the loop. We are on social terms with Jack again after a loss of communication for a few months. Everything worked out with Ted. I am trying to contact some people from BS again. (Livi, [Chris, David, John, their crew], People I still work with, etc.). Oh yeah, speaking of people I work with, I do hang out with people from work now. Gary, Shawn, and every once in a blue moon Jared. Although I seem to be on social terms with both Jared and Adam. I would probably take Sara into the circle as well but she is JUST SO BLAND. Ummmm, hmmm. Oh Shane lives up the street which means that when I see him, I bump into either acquaintances or make acquaintances. That said, I should go ahead and say that Kristen is gone from there and as of 2005 my childhood friend (6 months->6 years) Andrew is living there. So just add them to my list...
My goodness, that is way too many names. Anyways people, peace out. That is 2004 in a nutshell [/nutshell]
