dear readers,
Today's lesson is about meteorology:
Just because it is sunny outside, one cannot expect that the wind of Boston streets will not rip your hat off your head and cut you to the core like the vicious cheese grater of cold-like death that it truly is.
Tune in next time for another episode of me doing something stupid like not wearing enough winter clothing like today.
Hot cocoa for your soul,

Post 1: 2009
Dear readers,
Happy 2009! We are one and a half days deep and I don't feel any different than I did at the end of 2008. I am still expecting my next semester of grad school to be nuts (the likes of the last semester I have decided to spare you, for it was crazy and not postworthy), and I have not done anything worth noting other than having someone to kiss at midnight for the first time ever!!!! (yes, I give you permission to vomit over the cuteness of that)
Anyways, I have decided that if I write down my new years resolutions for the world to read via the internets, I will have to follow them. I also have made them realistic and achievable, so that I don't feel bad if I don't exceed them. You may also note that I've made them quantifiable, so I can actually measure my progress (oh leadership training, you have done me well).
Resolutions:
1. Go to the gym at least once a week, maximum 3 times.
2. Go at least one day per week without caffeine. (probably gonna be saturdays or sundays)
3. Meditate at least twice per week. It'll help.
4. Stop worrying so much about things/ don't allow stress to get the best of me/ take a chill pill ...everday.
5. buy a vegetable each time I food shop and eat it.
Four is do-able. If the kid in Flight of the Navigator could easily fly an alien spaceship, I can pull this stuff off for 2009. I will evaluate reflect on this come february.
Until I have more to say,
BMS

so I suck at poker...
Dear readers,
I have been having a pretty sweet break. I have learned a few serious things about myself that I figured I'd share.
1. I am beyond addicted to caffeine.
2. I am beyond readable and terrible at Texas hold 'em.
3. I am beyond able to fall asleep at a normal time.
4. And after typing the word beyond so much, I wish that I had bought that buzz lightyear costume for Halloween this past year. Well maybe not, because I kissed my new gf for the first time that day. I'll just watch toy story online and get
my fix. More to come soon.

brian versus grad school
dear readers,
I know. I said that I would post more often... Then grad school destroyed me. I will summarize soon. What I can currently tell you without killing you is that I am alive and am the proud owner of an iPod touch. :)
Much love,
BMS

Crunch Time...
Hey,
It's only about a month and a half until Halloween, my favorite holiday. I decided it's time to crack down and figure out what I am going to be. In recent years, I've been Steve Urkel, Captain Planet, Ash Ketchum, Peter Parker, Dick in a Box, and more. Because grad school is taking up all of the free space in my brain, I haven't been able to settle on a costume. I got some help from my friend, but I could use some help from you all.
Criteria for my costume are:

Criteria for my costume are:
- Cute
- Something from your childhood
- something I can easily obtain/make
- no mask
- hands free are a plus
- the ability to stay cool would be stellar too
Help me Obi- Wan- Readers, you're my only hope!

Aqua dream weekend force
Once upon this weekend...
There was this guy who decided he was going to have an amazing weekend. He had just got a new haircut, and was ready to head out on the town.
When this guy moved to Boston, he decided that he wanted to do wild and crazy things, be adventurous, and try new things. So, in talking to his classmate, decided that he was going to attend a silent rave that he heard about. The concept of a silent rave is that everyone shows up with their ipods to a disclosed location, hits play at the same time, and dances to their own music. This, happening in the middle of Copley Square, had all the makings of hilarity and awesomeness. So our young friend decided that he would brave the rain to see what it was going to be like. When he and his other classmate (whose codename will be Nevada) arrived on the scene, there seemed like there was noone there. It was scheduled to begin at 7, and all they could see was the hundreds of sad Bostonians with and without umbrellas. At 5 'til, approximately 60 people ran out of a nearby church and gathered in the square. They then counted down the last few seconds... and it began. It looked like this:
He was overwhelmed by the lack of silence. People kept chanting and giggling loudly. Oh well. It was around then, when Nevada and our main character (whose codename will be Pterodactyl) realized that this was not something they really wanted to be a part of. Pterodactyl noticed that the people actually dancing were all those kids who nobody liked freshman year of college. They then decided to meet some classmates at the bar closer to their next adventure...
After trying Sam Adams Oktoberfest at Tavern in the Square (Central), Pterydactyl and friends went over to a nearby church and took Swing dancing lessons!!! Quick summary of that experience because there is so much more to the story and my fingers are starting to get tired is that Pterydactyl had a great time, and his classmates did too. Nevada was stellar at it, as were some of the other people there. They went to another bar that night, got some HI-FI pizza, and went about their merry ways for the evening.
The next day, Pterydactyl did nothing until late afternoon, where he met Nevada, Twin (who went swing dancing too), Twin's friend Minn, and Sunshine for food. They then made there way to their designated destination: The Bud Light Presents: Disorientation Concert featuring Are You Offended Yeah, Anberlin, Alkaline Trio, the Kooks, and Flogging Molly. Let's just say that free Monster Energy drinks as they walked in, free stuff from vendors, delicious beverages, the awesome company, and most importantly the great bands made it an amazing evening!!
And for the next day (today), they all lived happily ever after.
