my life as a nomad

i'm bored, so this is what you get

top five things that make me cry

1. onions. never fails
2. where the red fern grows. i love dogs, and i love dog stories. and, this book is a bona-fide tearjerker
   
3. the dentist. and it has nothing to do with what they're doing in my mouth... it's that dang bright light they shine at full strength right into your eyeballs. it kills me every time
4. banging my shins. i swear, there's almost nothing as painful as getting wacked in the shins. a sure-fire eye-watering affair
5. life. not that it's overly depressing or anything like that, but if you can't have a good cry every once in a great while over just how hard and unfair life is, then you're missing out. it's hard to explain, but it's true
   

top five benefits about working in a warehouse

1. low risk of skin cancer (from limited exposure to sun)
2. excellent cardiovascular activity
3. driving heavy machinery: if it requires steel toes, you know it's manly
4. making good money is always a nice thing
5. you can eat as much as you want, whenever you want, and still lose weight

top five ice cream flavors

1. it's not a flavor, really... but peanut buster parfait's at DQ are unreal
2. pretty much anything with peanut butter and chocolate combined in it (i.e., moose tracks)
3. strawberry. especially the good kind with actual chunks of strawberry in it
4. chocolate fudge brownie (ben and jerry's). so rich... so good
5. coffee

top five things i'm addicted to

1. mt. dew
2. the red sox. enough said
   
3. starbucks mocha frappuccino's (the kind you buy in a bottle from the supermarket)
4. granola bars and yogurt. seriously, they make up the perfect snack/lunch combo. plenty of carbs, and plenty of tasty goodness
5. nhl 2004. i just bought it last week for ten dollars, and it's a pretty sweet game, even though i still suck at it. i think the computer cheats, though. it can't compare to the ultimate hockey game, the classic sega genesis nhl game, of swingers fame. a classic

top five reactions by the guys at work when they heard i was leaving for the summer to go work at a camp

1. we're so screwed
2. girl counselors are hot. you should try and date one
3. lucky!
4. wow, someone's actually leaving without getting fired
5. we're so screwed

top five links you should check out

1. there's stupidity, and there's insanity, and then there's this combination
2. some people hate the french. others hate their vegetables. this guy hates dimes
3. ok, it's a huge file, and unless you have broadband it's not even worth trying to downlaod it... but if you think canadians making dinner with power tools and beer is funny, then this is your kind of film
4. note to self: don't steal purses from japanes women in elevators. you'll get body-slammed
5. umm... i forgot what i was going to put here. so click over to some random person's blog instead (top-right corner). guaranteed to be more interesting than this crapola

this was a looong week. but, today it was sunny with a high of seventy five (yes! finally!), and tomorrow i get to sleep in. so, things are looking up. and i'm still trying to figure out how to get to australia without having to sell a kidney... no luck yet
