Happy Halloween!

sup readers. how's it going. just dropping in to say what's up. it's a shame i don't write more, but at least i'm aware of it! i probably shouldn't waste so much (of your) time talking about writing quantity, but it's honestly something that i think about.

ok, went to the dartmouth harvard football game today with my dad. we tailgated for about 20 minutes in the sweet budweiser camping chairs that i won (i entered some contest, won a chair, then changed my address and so they just sent one to both addresses). drank a little and ate a little and rolled in, sat in my awesome crazy creeks and cheered for dartmouth but left when the score got a little out of control

saw a dartmouth guy get thrown out by harvard police, what gives? haha. then we walked across the street and watched the last 5 minutes of the harvard dartmouth soccer game before bouncing. the drunk guy that had gotten thrown out showed up and proclaimed what had just happened and it was funny and we verified it. haha im rambling but whatevaaaa

it's warm outside, almost 70 degrees, humid. im chillin. partying tonight. yeahhhhh

k later

vexation of spirit

from ecclesiastes...

on sunday i finally got out of town. thank god for ambitious friends. went with some buddies apple picking in northboro at tougas farm. success. it was the last day of the season. we drove out there, picked a half bushel, ate a ton of apples, stuffed ourselves with apple cider donuts, kettle corn, and delicious apple cider, bought an apple crisp, watched the sunset, and drove home.

a lovely day and it was good to get away.

my own hibernation starts today -- its basketball season. already i am structuring my social life around celtics games. this is NOT good. it's happening too soon. i need to somehow meet in the middle.

so yeah, the next 6-7 months i just need to be aware of what i am doing and conscious of it and comfortable in it. see, its a big deal!

ok. have fun watching the celtics. i will be :) cya, go boston, D

hello

hi how's it going. i'm hanging out. it's kind of a grey day outside, but its cool. im watcing some football, rooting for uconn (such a sad story).

bc notre dame game is on in 25 minutes. that will be fun to watch. kane and chris and i are making squash soup with a parsnip and some potatoes and stuff. it looks like its gonna be good.

im feeling a little tired but alls well. oh yeah get this --

on tuesday i got on the highway to go somewhere. i realized that i hadnt been on the highway in a couple weeks, i really couldnt remember the last time i had been on the highway.

for the last couple weeks i had been in a routine where i wasnt going to many places and was always going to my folks place to get on the rowing machine and then just going home. and i guess i didnt really go on any trips outta town.

ive pretty much been staying in my own little triangle here, and havent needed to go many places far away. i do think i should start exploring the area a bit more tho, and go on some fun field trips.

not driving on highways made me realize how localized ive become. luckily ive scheduled a trip to los angeles from dec 4 - 11, so at least i have a good trip somewhere far away to look forward to.

i'm also planning on going up to vermont and new hampshire at some point in the next couple of months, maybe even a couple times.

basketball season starts tuesday. i will finally start hanging out in my room upstairs and make it the basketball haven. should be interesting, i hope its not too cold up there.

wow i wrote some. ok talk to you soon, D

hey

hey holding pattern over here

everything's good. weather was really nice today. lou holtz is ridiculous.

got things to do. ok ill be back.

good album name

Last Night When I Tried to Sleep I Felt The Ocean With My Fingertips

i'm sleepyyyyy i feel the ocean with my fingertipsssss

great head of the charles but look at this weather report

hey im home and tired and happy from a good weekend of rowing. we had a good row in the alumni eight yesterday, but only placed 18th out of 34 crews. this was my first time being in an age adjusted handicapped race, and now i understand the challenges.

still, a good race. ill blog more later.

today was somethin else, frrrrrreeezing out there

AN ANOMALOUS EARLY SEASON WINTER WEATHER EVENT IS UNDERWAY ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS A NOREASTER CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET. LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SLEET

hey

hey what's up man i wish i was making more time to write oh well. head of the charles is in two days. after that i will have more time.

the weather is supposed to be nasty this weekend. im hoping it isnt but im preparing for the worst. i've rowed in nearly unrowable conditions a couple times, so i think ill be alright. i just hope that people show up and that it's not too cold. or windy. or rainy.

i am listening to Quantic & His Combo Bárbaro. recommended!

yo

yo lemme just get in one here before the game starts. its a nice day outside and its warm! i hear birds chirping, alls well. so far ive vacuumed, cleaned the rug, and cleaning up the place. feeling pretty good about everything.

had to write a post that didnt have a bc photo, so here it is. i found this photo a while ago, thought it was pretty cool

i got a lil bit of a headache but i think itll go away, no big deal.

one week til head of the charles. im really excited. i dont think ive ever felt this way before a race -- just so amped. i guess i used to be nervous before races, but now i just wanna go out and have a good time.

aright i gotta eat some eggs and toast. later.

hey

hey im having a hard time updating this old blog here. im gonna keep at it. im pretty busy, still training for the head of the charles (did i mention?)

october 17th, 11am, come out and watch me!

its the best weekend of the year.

but yeah stuff is good. im just trying to be responsible, get sleep, be the man, be productive, etc. yeah. theres a lot going on. im going to california in december, pretty excited about that

ok ill talk to you soon.

hey

hey how's it going? boston college beat florida state today. it was a great game. except that bc only attempted two passes in the 3rd quarter. you need to stop playing not to lose! but it was a really good game and the coaches and players should be very happy. good times.

got a haircut today, went to whole foods, watched a ton of football. went to the 24 hour cvs, hung out, might play the ps3 a little bit.

sun's out...oh wait no it's not

malator...lol

i even did a load of laundry today. i've learned the strategy with me and laundry -- to ensure that i wash, dry and fold the same load of laundry in the same day i have to only do ONE load per day. but it works. yahhh

ive got my weight at 200 but im gonna try to lose a couple pounds of beer by head of the charles (two weeks). i'm feeling good and fit but i've been pretty reckless about eating so i gotta be a little more careful here these next two weeks

but it looks like it might be 70 and sunny tmrw. wha?!?!

aright i'm havin a good time ill talk to you soon

all types

hey boy it's getting harder and harder to keep on blogging!

but i guess i'll just keep on trying. here's a photo of ray allen.

i feel very QUOTIDIAN. and i feel like the things i am now saying on here are very QUOTIDIAN. but i am still going to say them. because, after all, what is life without the QUOTIDIAN?

been watching football and rowing and playing basketball. all good things. mostly getting enough sleep. trying to be productive, getting stuff done.

yeah. there's still not enough time to do everything that i'd like, but that's ok. i'm just trying to stay positive and take care of things. like laundry! always, freakin, laundry.

ate food from coast cafe last night, which was really good. fried chicken and pork chops, candied yams, rice, collared greens, mac + cheese. yummy.

man i can put away the food. plates and plates of the stuff. sheesh!

aright well i gotta get rollin, hopefully ill get back on here soon.

oh yeah and Drew -- we haven't hung out in a while. let's hang out soon. peace.

yo

yo whats up cant really talk but i went to the bc game yesterday and they won. then the patriots won today. it was awesome.

weather was really nice yesterday. clear, pretty warm. the stadium was packed, 40000 people. and i just found out that college gameday is coming to bc next weekend. pretty cool!

it was rainy today, and i watched the pats with chris, kane, and rob. good times. set up joshs xbox afterwards and played some bioshock. also crushed a little call of duty today. cant wait for the new call of duty to come out! also gonna get a ps3 this week hopefully, that should be awesome

yup. head of the charles is 3 weeks away. gotta get in shape!

talk to you soon.

i don't use punctuation punctuation uses ME

yeah that doesnt make sense. but whatever. hey whats up im hanging out. just tryin to get my posts in whenever possible. its warm outside. some might say UNSEASONABLY warm. what's that about? the weather is trying to make up for june. because june stunk. we know this.

yeah. so i was erging tonight and the monitor stopped working. simply put -- DEVASTATING. i replaced the batteries and that didnt work. the ergometer is a rowing machine. i think erg means energy. so yeah, its completely misleading. i think the idea is that ROWING takes an enormous amount of ENERGY. kinda.

so yeah im gonna google it and try to fix it. it stinks tho. ive still gotta get in shape for head of the charles. you should definitely come watch me at head of the charles if you can. its like my favorite weekend.

yup. aright there's stuff going on, i wanna talk about things, but im gonna leave it at that. there's a lotta life to go around. i just wanted to say hi to my friends, and i guess hi to the people that read this that i dont know. so, hi!

i hope you have a good one.

thanks netflix!

wow, thanks for the recommendation netflix! i'm so glad you figured out what i've been trying to convey to people my whole life -- i love critically-acclaimed dark australian movies! yes! it's about time you figured that out! certainly took long enough!

i mean, it's obvious that i don't care for dark australian movies that arent critically received well. that's no mystery.

ok ill stop. i just like the sub-sub-sub-genre. gotta respect that. the contextual relevance of it though just threw me off.

yeah bc lost today it stunk. but the pats play tmrw, woooo!

aright gotta stay productive later

yo

yo hows it going im hanging out. i dont like using punctuation anymore. i just want all the sentences to run together.

here are some photos of cambridge carnival which was sunday. yeah, thats carnival as in carnivale! with a parade and dancing and soundsystems (stacks of speakers on the back of pickup trucks). pretty cool went with friends and added a couple more sets of friends and we had a fun time.

it took forever for the parade to finally come down the street to central sq but it was worth waiting. the costumers were pretty incredible. these photos arent mine, but i might post some later.

it was pretty cool. i bought a trinidad and tobago flag. exciting! i then later went to kendall sq where many tents were set up and i got some street food -- jerk ribs, plantains, red beans and rice, jerk chicken with some diabolically hot scotch bonnet pepper sauce. that was terrific too.

cool. this is the first post im writing from my kitchen table. thank goodness i have a kitchen table now. i think i should still get seat cushions tho. on the todo list!

k ill talk to you soon, bye

yo

yo ive got a lil bit of a headache but the pats won and im picking up a couch on thursday so its all good ill talk to you soon peace

hi

hi i just got back from the bc kent state game, jeff hooked up the tickets (thanks jeff!). i wish i felt more inspired to write but right now i gotta clean up my room and put up paintings. i've been here for a half a month and i still need to put up pictures. jeez.

but yeah its a little drizzly here but its the weekend and im hanging out. chris says he's gonna make lamb tonight, so ill show up for that. yeah. ok ill talk to you soon.

bye

hey

hey im just checkin in just sayin whats up. gotta go to bed. gnite.

yo

yo i'm lovin it right now, a lot doin around town. still feel good about the bc game, looking forward to watching the game next weekend.

just found out that i'm going to be rowing in the head of the charles. this is my 6th (!) head of the charles. i'm a pretty lucky guy. i'm going to be in the dartmouth alumni boat if you want to root for us. i just erged today for the first time in a loooong time, and i'm gonna have to erg plenty of times between now and oct 17.

this year there's an alumni only event for the first time, which will be good because we wont be racing against other younger faster crews. now we just gotta get a couple ringers to fill out the boat.

the goal this year is to finish the race without being disqualified! haha. i think i'm in better shape than i was a couple years ago when i last rowed in it. and i'm gonna train harder better and smarter too.

i'm amped.

hi

hi how's it going. it's too late and too busy to write anything substantial. had a fun day watching football and hanging out with friends. boston college beat northeastern 54-0. it was pretty awesome. and the us soccer team played well, from what i saw.

i like this photo of coach spaziani looking at the hourly weather forecast. i do that all the time!

yeah. been having fun hanging out and setting the place up and seeing people. went to the farmers markets today and had a feast which was nice. heirloom tomatoes were awesome. i got a local canteloupe which was delicious. made a salad with red lettuce and carrots and radishes and peaches. yum. good times.

oh yeah and all the beatles albums have finally been remastered. pretty cool. time to get beatles songs stuck in your head again!

aright ill ttys --Dave
