invisible movie quiz/last day

Last day of work and I couldn't be more excited. After 4 internships its kinda sad I dont get to not give a fuck anymore. I will miss the special treatment, short hours, and little responsibility. Not to mention free lunches and drinks for the "intern" after work. Well I think I milked this one long enough. Back to school for 5 months. Peace out FINRA.

I should have posted this earlier in the summer but...blow me

This was a plague on my office's productivity for a while. I scored a 48 which I think butts right up with movie tool status. Anyway, try it out and post your scores.

My Name's Ryan P and I'm Back From The Dead

Chillin at the beach, down at club med.

Holy good god I finally got some time to get back on this blog and write stuff no one cares about but makes me feel like I have friends... even if they are all just porn ads from girls like Keyla and Krystal on MySpace.

Terre Haute is quite awesome, and by quite awesome I mean awesome in a way that Battlefield Earth was awesome. I'm surrounded by hilljacks, Mathletes (they have a math camp during training camp at Rose-Hulman), and dudes that are a lot bigger and make more money from their signing bonus than I will in my lifetime. But the good news??? I get to see them NAKED!

Yeah, thats right... I've seen a lot of million dollar dorks so far. I somehow got the distinct priveledge of being the weigh in guy. So every morning I wake up early, get dressed in my cute colts gear, grab the computer and hang out in the locker room. It kind of makes me feel like the asian dude in that "You wouldn't make it in the NFL" commercial.

Another exciting duty of mine is I transport the players to and fro practice. Anthony McFarland has become a good friend of mine and tends to choose my cart. I think it is because I feed him cookies and milk on the way down. He likes to say, "whats crackin homey?" I still don't know what these silly football players mean with their hip hop lingo, but i smile and nod. Too bad he went down and is probably out for the season...

I have also gotten very good at driving back and forth from Terrible Haute to Indy. When a player gets hurt they have me and another dude drive them down to get MRI's and whatnot from this place in Indy. Oh the coversations! They are... well... not that exciting. Most players have more technology on their belts than Batman and NASA with their two cell phones, a sidekick, and iPod that they spend most of the time doing whatever they can to pass time.

Regardless of how I write this, I am actually having a blast and am going to be sad when it is over. I know you guys worry about me but don't worry, I'm eating good, saying please and thank you, and am always remembering to flush. I have a lot of little stories but they really aren't blog material because they are only funny in the way that my dad chuckles at cats falling off TV sets on Funniest Animal Videos.

When I'm not dead tired and have something interesting to write I will post again. One love.

Make that two and kiss my grits... noooooooch.

Diesel Out.

My Advice

Yesterday on my way home from work I learned a valuable lesson. Do not…I repeat DO NOT have your iPod on shuffle while you are blasting music with the windows down. Why you may ask, well I have a very good reason for you. So maybe you are jamming out to Fall Out Boy and the song ends. Well lets say Fall Out Boy is followed by a 36 mafia song; that just so happens to drop the n-word a few times. No big deal right? Wrong* because as you are stopped at a light you happen to look over and see that the car next to you is rolling on 22’s and not appreciating a white boy blasting music that drops the n-word.

what they were rolling

At this point do not flick them off and try to speed away because you can’t out run them (Pat the cambergini is not built for speed...trust me).

*Maybe acceptable if you are in a predominately white area, but in Gary it's a no-no.

P.S. My last day of work is friday, so you guys (Clay) won't have to read any more work related posts. I know you are excited.

Polls are Closed (not really)

Well, the results are in.

After a whopping ten votes, minus the three joke votes, the consensus(plurality) is that all we really want is more Diesel. Stupid Colts making our blog all sucky.

If there is anything else you think we should change, feel free to keep voting.

The Bears...got an Offense?

The word around the NFL is that the stumblin’ Bears got themselves an offense that “experts” are predicting to rank in the top 8 of the league. Apparently Devin Hester is a natural at wide receiver…who would have thought it? Rookie, tight end, Greg Olson has also been impressive snagging everything within his vicinity. So now the Bears have an impressive set of skills players that includes, Muhsin Muhammad, Bernard Berrian, Desmond Clark, Olson and Hester. The only problem…the Gunslinger is still the QB who sometimes just says, “Fuck it…I’m going deep”.

Grossman may not be the QB for long though, and Griese isn’t the one who could unseat Sexy Rexy. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that a new and improved Kyle Orton has been amazing in workouts so far.

Apparently Orton has ditched his party boy lifestyle (guess he isn’t a true Pike….pussy), and is in the best shape of his life*. We all know about the Bears defense, and who knows, if their offense plays like some are predicting; they could be back in the Super Bowl.

My pick for the NFC is the rebuilt** city of New Orleans and their Saints. With an improved defense, and one of the best offenses in the league that is lead by Brees, Bush, Colston, and McAlister, looks to me like they are the best team in the NFC this year.

* Reportedly there has also been a white male in his early twenties stalking Orton, and wanting to touch him non-sexually…could it be Fandle?
** Do you think they will rename the city of New Orleans, now that it has been rebuilt? I hope they go with the laundry detergent style name….New Ultimate Orleans….now whiter then ever!
