"50 Blocks Away"

this article is from June 24, 1874. incredible, so much still true

you can get this pdf here : THE COLLEGE REGATTA.; THE DARTMOUTH CREW.

"Dartmouth College is situated upon a plateau behind the east bank of the Connecticut River, and, though exceedingly picturesque in its surroundings, labors under the disadvantage of being up in a corner, and very hard to get at."

and the best part is that i found this just by googling dartmouth crew

really cool animations and ads here, including the cool black and white PS3 ones, superfad

some cool music places with some mix downloads Lowpro Lounge

The Flying Skulls

laurens near davis on bay state for the backyard bbq smoking firepit kegger. cops showed once, were creeping, but everyone moved inside and it didnt get busted. just hacked, crashed, got up early-style so that i can go to bed at 11pm tonight

11pm, 23:00 hours. twenty three hundred hours. its a good time, an early time, and 11 + 8 is 19 but it's also 7AM, which is when i should get up

went to faneuil today, fun as always, i like it down there but it gets supercrowded, parked in that garage, met up with rabbott, sidestepped the street performers and crushed wagamama. yasai katsu curry, raw juice, raw salad, couple gyoza. hmmmmm yum

walked through urban outfitters but i don't think they have stuff that's XXL and i certainly didnt find any mothers day presents inside.

couple doors down to crate and barrel, got mom some things, namely coasters, dish cloths, and a leather tray thing, bright colors, oh yeah and flowers. and the card too, so i'm 3 for 3. feeling pretty good about it

lovely day out today, good day for going in the field and hacking and throwing a bee and kicking the soccer ball. it's like the green out there

Drag Album Artwork Here. OK

i got these from Greg Pence: Graphic Novels and Cartoons. dartmouth animation guy

today just listened to how the mayans invented television and tons of dubstep, good times, some mexican food, pecan pie, celebration foods. lucky kat is a magic hat ipa

wmbr in cambridge is first on your fm dial. finally chatted with jonathan today, wmbr on dj on aim, which was cool. you can see how this is fun, sub bass

celtics are down big at the half, just turrible.

that's pretty

gggggg

gggggg

super tired, absolutely bonkers week, a rolling coaster for sure

went to this dartmouth thing tonight for a second, totally random, free scotch tasting at the harvard club by the glenlivet, didnt really drink or eat anything cause we got there too late, but did get a cool leather bowl thing that looks like the end of a football turned inside out

better than the 16 year if you ask me. also went to a basement pong game and came away with a tall wooden shelving thing that's now in my room. i put up some pink fliers on my wall but i'm not sure they work

finally lost the blogging every day streak. to be honest it feels weird not blogging every day! so i'll try to maintain.

weather is lame, i'd like it to be warm and sunny the next couple of days. but you can't always exact what you want

i got this photo from babayan's desktop

marcal and armen are here. im eating sunflower seeds that sometimes get stuck in your throat. i think the feed looks better on csn, but they think it looks better on espn. 852 vs 840

flurry of events and baffling goings on.

on a lighter note, sylvia is flying into boston next week and she and company are going to green key next weekend. id like to make it, even if just for a night

until last night, until last night

lovely weather, everyone goes outside and sits. the whole city goes out the door and sits.

played basketball on the court today and someone had fixed the 4th net, so now all 4 nets are good.

the alarm on my cell phone

the alarm on my cell phone

i don't recall where i got this photo from

my alarm is set for 7:30 am. this morning i failed to get up immediately, and didn't get out of bed until 8am. not cool! i'm trying to think up strategies to get out of bed at 7:30 am and not get back into bed.

it's a study and an exercise and a work in progress

tengo sueno, and it's only monday. theoretically i should be in bed at 11:30pm every night. which is unheard of for me. i think i need to make 12:30 my goal, or at least it will be tonight

i've cut out caffeine from my diet to help me fall asleep when i want to, and i know it'll work. this means only caffeine free diet pepsi and coke, no more of the regular stuff, or diet mountain dew for that matter. or red (crack) bulls.

matt's parents brought an enormous apple pie. i drank all my milk with some homemade scrumptious chocolate chip cookies, so the pie (pah) will have to wait.

k, keeping eyes open is hard work, i make sure i don't nod off by never resting my head in my hands at all during the day

i got this photo from Better Never Than Late!, which is a blog

sometimes it comes in the form of bruce bowen

watched some man vs wild, zambia, eating caterpillars, yuck

took it easy today, my back was hurting bad yesterday afternoon at work, hopefully ill get a good chair this week

i got up, paced, lifted weights. i feel like at this point it'd be really easy for me to get really out of shape because being seated for 35 hours a week is pretty much the worst way to be physically active.

i was extraordinarily tired last night and am drowsy now too. got some indian food from desi dhaba on foodler. seeing how mundanely i can decribe my wonderful peaceful day

there's been rain. it rained on the soccer field behind my apt. ps my apt is ridiculous and my neighbors and landlord and the guy that's supposed to be the handyman/landscaper are all ridiculous too.

it's cinco de mayo on monday, but i'm not really sure what that means. i did get picante today, i know what that means, it means i'm addicted to getting mexican food from the same place a couple times a week

lemme throw some random links up:

jeff titled his speech "My experience with Spanish open-source software entrepreneurs." nice work Jeff!

i miss you, wish i could see you, sorry things didn't work out. let's figure something out

2nd day of work today. got my basic wonderful breakfast (routine is great sometimes), sat in the tiny office chairs, got lunch with my dad, sat back down in a tiny office chair, did downtown, stood up on the red line, hoofed home.

like......like....like.............what did i leave out

well, it was fun while it lasted

the not working that is. i gotta go to sleep. i've enjoyed not working for half a year, unfortunately it's time to get back on the train.

night train

got up at 7 37, got breakfast, same ppl working there, thanked the cook, got a badge, waited in line for the elevator, crushed payments, went outside downtown, dealt with the afternoon, made it home

meditated, watched cavs wizards, cheered on the celtics, ate junk food, saw a new south park, hung out forever, went and got falafel palace

hopefully i goto sleep at 11:30 tmrw. what kind of word is hopefully?

what kind of adverb is optimistic?

man, all that blogging sure helped me get a job!

I got a job in downtown boston, operational securities processing, a thrilling temp job! I start at 9am tmrw.

I def plan on going to the hungry traveler, which is on court sq in boston right near city hall, you can read a great review of it here Bostonist: The Hungry Traveler

I used to go to it every single morning, and get the same thing, two scrambled eggs and dark rye toast. I didn't even have to order or say anything when I walked in, he or she just let me know when it was ready

This breakfast is so crucial. Eggs and toast is one of the best things in the world.

I’d like to thank all that supported me on this blogging adventure and my job search. I’ve had a grand total of 6 job hunts, which has resulted in 3 full time jobs, 2 part time jobs, and 1 internship. What a long strange craiglist monster and careerbuilder fueled trip it’s been

Oh yeah there’s a program for Mac, called RAR expander. You can download it here. get the stable version

If you ever download .rar files you should get it. I was having problems expanding some files with stuffit, and this program saved the day

i took a quick trip to dartmouth, went to the new british bakery in town where the food is really expensive and dense. also got a new alumni library card and got some new books out, which is huge

drove home through the rain, not cool

celtics in two hours, paul pierce got fined 25 grand for throwing up some ish

ok, i really like the show bizarre foods. last year there were def ppl that watched deadliest catch and ice road truckers, and i'm a huge goober for watching these shows, but they get me so amped

i'm literally shouting while bizarre foods is on. the guy is hilarious, they show the nastiest stuff on earth, and it's all you can do to scream and squeal

it's going to be in the 60s tmrw. which means i can sit outside after noon. this is fantastic. something to look forward to. i can't believe how pumped i am for nice weather, at least i'm not taking it for granted

bruins lost, couldn't get a goal, i don't really wanna watch their next game. i'm working on deaddicting myself from sports and tv, at least i'm out of the denial stage

DJ Mix Downloads


Dr. Waumiau mixes

saw dj flack, dj c, and dj ripley last night. they were all soooooo good. here's a link to dj ripley's page, she's incredible

DJ ripley

me gusta! the bassline she was playing was very nice.

tonight was another sports epic. though it becomes apparent that when you are watching tv you aren't being very social! so you gotta make sure that you remember how to be social after watching a lot of tv. tough, but possible

celtics won, red sox won. revolution lost, bruins lost. bc hockey beat notre dame to win the ncaa hockey championship after reaching the finals for the 3rd time in as many years

went to b. selznick's today and ate chicken wings from wing it. i told him to get the extra spicy jamaican jerk boneless wings. it was fun, with fiore and marques.

took it easy, had a really fun week going out a lot, very happy with the way things are going, actually doing networking which is cool

feeling good and talkative. the weather was crazy today! cold rain and wind, then sun, warm sunny weather, then clouds, rain came down, showers, then sun and beautiful pastel sunset

ahhaahhahahahahahaahhahahahahahha your mom reads books!

so there was a flyover for the sox game on tuesday. not sure if you heard or not, but the 4th F-16 pilot did an "unusual" maneuver and has been grounded.

you gotta check this out, i was actually walking on the street when they passed over. they were very loud Fenway F-16 Fly-Over

i was at milky way tonight, i'd like to make it back over tmrw night to see dj c. dj c is nice beyond all comprehension

i guess this site has kind of a cool description Bouncement 3

actually, i hafta go, because if i go then i will have gone to three boston dubstep shows in one week, all of the fliers of which i've posted here. in fact i'll prolly be the only person that's been to all 3. that's some aggressive flyer posting, but i'm 2 for 2 so far

so today was sunny and beautiful and warm. i got outside at 1:30pm, tried to get some sun and look less like a vampire, then got more sun playing basketball, then got super winded from playing soccer.

point being -- i spent all of last year working on weekdays. i didn't take a single weekday off from like march to october. which means i didn't spend a single weekday sitting in the sun.

i got sweet revenge today. there better be some weather like that soon.

the sun and the soccer have taken their toll on me, i gotta crash like the movie crash, which sucks (can you believe how serious hollywood takes itself if a movie like crash is supposedly the best movie? please.....)

just nothing but.....

wow, fun and music overload at this point. really fun day yesterday, paul and i chilled while pat actually froze his butt off at the sox game.

pat, you shoulda known it was gonna be cold! bring 8 jackets, hats, gloves, seats, and blankets next time.

but people gave him compliments on his hat, which is gold and black

oh yeah me and macklin watched he got game. it could use some better editing and it's melodramatic like all great american movies, but ray allen and walter mccarty and rick fox are all awesome.

ben, back, back, hack, fat hack, kind for trey the dogwalker, 30 rock at fulk. chris pizzle and fizzle, a couple, and then like banzuke or something on g4?

i got this photo from someone commenting on it

so kansas won. i was deep in great scott, but i actually turned my head just in time to see kansas hit the tying three

memphis missed 4 of their last 5 free throws, and i think shot like 1 of 9 for their last shots. this is from glossing sportscenter.

and they didn't take a timeout or foul on kansas's last possession to deny them a three point shot.

well john calipari, you blew it. having blown it before, i feel for ya

great scott was fun tonight. Die Young, DJ DRI.K, and Gui Boratto. hours of dance, pulse and bumps

met some folks, had a good time, got tired and hungry, still lasted late.

i talked to the guy that was doing the visuals, he usually djs.

i talked to a canadian who is getting a phd at the harvard school of public health.

i talked to someone who introduced me to her husband.

i met Vicki from Basstown and one of her friends. good times!

i'm gonna finally get up and go do this lee hecht harrison career counseling thing because i am not doing a good enough job with my resume and cover letter and interviewing and presenting myself.

the dribble drive motion offense that memphis uses is awesome. the california high school coach that created it gets 300-400 calls a year from ppl that are interested.

oh yeah and i've gotta read what color is your parachute. i am going to view this as a good thing. the positive attitude is essential.

whoa i'll actually take the red line tmrw morning, it's been days since i got on the red line. i hope i get a copy of the metro

my legs hurt from standing and dancing, i should take advil before i go out to these dj shows.

it's all about the endgame
