Fact:
Chocolate contains the same chemical, phenylethylamine, that your brain
produces when you fall in love. But don’t have too much — an excess of
phenylethylamine makes people very nervous.

Kil and I when his hands were a bit prettier

We had our second game of Phi Mu Alpha Mystic Cats football last night. We worked our butts off last week after being severely unorganized for the first game. The game last night was against Lamda Chi and proved to be quite eventful. First of all, I have to say that I had a really great game. While Kilgore was quarterback I had a %100 completion rate on my routes. I usually got at least a good 5 yards after each reception on top of that. I played both ways the whole game and defense was even better. I played safety and had all kinds of good stuff goin’ my way. I had a lot of trouble grabbing flags the first game, so I made a promise to Kil that I wasn’t going to miss anymore this game. Out of about a dozen open field tackles I only missed one flag.


Huff Train

In the end I payed dearly for my passionate playing. The Lamda Chi’s beat the ever-loving crap out of me. I was talking a lot of trash on the field so I was the recipient of many a late hit and punch to the back. I am so freakin’ sore. My right hip is in shambles. I came down on it way too many times.


Yes, that’s the work of human hands

In fact, I got off lucky. I suggest taking a trip to Kilgore’s site to see the extent of his injuries. I can’t wait until Wednesday to do this all over again.

three people. One was struck on the head, the second run over by a bus
while watching, the third witnessed the event and died from a heart attack

Dashboard

September 22nd, 2003

Thursday night I was lucky enough to recieve Kilgore’s extra ticket to the Dashboard Confessional at Nextstage. I’ll admit that I have always had respect for the material that Chis was consantly putting out there, but it was mostly acoustic and got monotonous to my ears after awhile. After the release of their new album with the backing of a full band, I was was already hooked. As with any concert, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the drummer. Mike Marsh proved to be able to put on quite a good show for me. The group as a whole was extremely tight. i have never seen so much crowd participation at a concert as well. Chis would drop out for whole choruses just to let the venue light up and let the crowd take over. I don’t think there was a soul in there that didn’t know an of the words.

Kil and I were also able to sneak in his digital camera so he took tons of shots and even took some video clips. I figure since they are already on the server, I might as well share the wealth.
