Clinically Insane maybe?
So it has been a while, but here it goes....

Today= 2 hours of sleep but it was completely worth it as I sit here at Ryder working the front desk thinking about how fun last night and many other summer nights have been!

I have been to the Casino twice in one week. Both times I won money and so I have since decided to not go for a little while since luck does run out. I fuckin love slot machines that go nuts and let you win tons!

Derek went to Albion with me for my brother's graduation open house and party. It was fun. We went to this cool farm place that had really good apple cider slushies. We also coincidentally went to the casino. LOL

So like ..you know that JT song summer love? yeah well it should be called "summer lust" and everyone has it! LOL I don't think there is one person in Saginaw that isn't wanting someone else! LOL People are insane...or maybe Im just jealous?lol Speaking of insane..last night... I could have potentially smacked the shit out of myself, but I think it was better that I did.

I lost at poker against Andrew, Derek, and Jeremiah. It was fun, but I lost ten bucks!

Our room is losing a roommate for like 2 months. Nick leaves for Italy soon and we could possibly get a new roommate. I don't like that. I hope housing can READ me (lol) and not let a certain person even try to move in with us.

Im really pissed that the MORHA Board Retreat is on a certain weekend. Something has come up and I really wanted to go to it and now I am missing it. I guess being a student leader sometimes involves sacrifices...as much as we don't want to.

Im excited for July and Canada! It is going to be amazing Im sure. Fun times with my fraternity and best friends!

I hope everyone is having a good summer. I miss everyone!

Hey Everyone.

Spring and Summer will not become spring/summer 2006 part 2. I just won't let that happen. I have made a few promises to myself about this:

I will have all friendships I currently have in tact by the end of the summer
I will remember at least 75% of my nights this summer (so that pretty much means the rest of the summer).
I will not get into trouble.
I will be nice to others. :)
I will listen to catchy music and wear it out. I still like doing that.
I will not corrupt anyone.
I will get certain urges under control (LOL)
I will get up at 8am at some point this summer.

etc etc etc.

It has just been a crazy couple of weeks. I think I need to find a hobby outside of school and student leadership. I need to collect something or find a show that has like 12 seasons on DVD so I can like watch marathons of it or something. It would be more productive than what I have been doing.

Either that, or should find another job off campus that is fun like working at a hardware store or something. I don't really know. I should really jump on something pretty quick.

Im excited for those people who are going to return from Costa Rica tommorow. It is really exciting.

P.S-that Umbrella song by Rihanna is hot and I can't stop listening to it.

Have a great day everyone!

Summer part two!
Ok so today was the like official first day of everyone is moved into their permanent residence for the spring/summer semesters. I have already concluded that I love my roommates. Isaac, Nick, and Derek (when present) are cool roommates. We all have tons of stuff though, minus Isaac who was a freshy last semester and has not had the room that we have had.

While this summer will be tons of fun, there are some things I am not looking forward too:

1) Ali moving back to the UP
2) Steph Normand not being here
3) Reggie not visiting often
4) Nick going away to Italy
5) No Julie (enough said)
6) REALLY REALLY HOT DAYS
7) Not a lot of people on campus
8) Hangovers
9) Ryder Center is boring as hell
10) Not with family
11) Family Visiting (seems to contradict the last, but people know why)
12) RA's
etc etc etc.

But Im sure the fun will outweigh those things..I hope!

Have a great day!

Jump Already!
I thought the subject of my livejournal today would really get your attention! When you put pictures of really tall buildings on either a livejournal or myspace I think that you are really begging the question: "should I jump"? And of course my answer to you my dear will be: "YES" "Jump Now"! That may not make sense to some, but to others, it will ring bells so loud their eardrums will explode!

So I lost a race for a position last night. Oh well right? Their loss. Maybe it is a sign that I'm doing to much, or as I would like to think of it; a sign that one organization would choose a loser over the most competent person for the job.

I'm looking forward to the spring and summer semesters! More the spring becuase EVERYONE who I decided to live with will be here, Summer we will lose one or two but it will still be great!

I need a haircut.

So stupid organizations pop up everywhere you look, but the ones that are most dumb are those started by people who want to fuck the person who founded the organization. I have a cute acronym for those who start these organizations: G.A.L! (Get A Life!)

Well, I know you must be thinking that Shane doesn't have one positive thought for the day but the shocking truth is: I have lots. Here they are:

My friends are amazing! I love them all!
Being myself these past couple months...Amazing and knowing that others love me for me is great too! (I know its' cheezy!)
Jimmy Johns at 2pm is the best thing ever!
My fraternity brothers are the shit!
I can't wait for next year!
I love my job!
Jesus loves us all!
Im having a good day!

See, I can too, be a beacon of positivity!

That's all I got!

Love you all!

OOPs Im gonna do it again!
Goodevening everyone..and journal! It seems as though I may have gotten myself into the exact same situation for next year as I did this year. Being overcommitted! I mean, I love school and I love being involved, but If I don't prioritize soon and get my time management under control....then next year will be a burn out! But I will try my hardest not to let that happen.

I am so excited, but so nervous about next year. Some of the people that I have gotten to know pretty well over the past two years (more notably, the past year) are peacing out of Saginaw and going on to Graduate School. It sucks a lot and as cheezy as the next comment will be I am going to say it: I looked up to some of the people leaving a lot and they have shaped parts of me to be who I am and have helped me develop as a person and a better human being than I actually thought possible:-)

Next year will be fun..it looks like my roommates are going to be Nick, Brian F., and Matt Pierson. Insteresting....I believe I am officially over some of the roommate situations that have taken place this semester.:-)

I loved the play "Angels in America". It is such a challenging and emotional thing to watch. I enjoyed it and seeing it with people like Derek and Nick always make it fun!

I am looking forward to warm weather, tanned skin, hot bodies, barbecues, and an overall amazing Summer!

Have a great day everyone!

Academic Security!
So today, while I pondered national security during boring speeches in my comunication class, I realized that people should be more concerned with Academic Security. You know the kind of thing that doesn't get you dismissed from a University.

I just thought to myself how awful it would be to like actually be told I couldn't attend college somewhere because I was stupid. It would be really out of control. Like, I would be really depressed and like get on medication or something becuase I really care about my academics alot......Anyway...that was random thoughts by shane on education.

I went to Washington DC this weekend and that was amazing! I totally loved it. I loved the people I was with, the things we did, and the place where we were at! it was pretty much the sweetest shit ever!

Now I must jump into reality and begin my 15 page paper due tommorow so I don't get one of those AWFUL letters from academic advising.

Everyone have a wonderful and academically sound day!

School is Important
So people are making crazy decisions lately. I don't know what it is about this semester that has people just going insane. I mean it is a reoccuring theme for 2007. Have one normal day followed by 10 days of absurdity. It is quite humorous sometimes but other days it is like ...in the words of R Kelly.."When is the shit gonna end"?. hahahahaha

I have fraternity dinner at 6pm, followed by some relaxing alone time, then fraternity meeting at 10pm until who knows when! It should be fun!

here is something random....

I think I am still a republican, in fact, I am pretty sure I am, just a very very very very very very very moderate republican. Yeah, that is what it is.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Shane.

Current Music: none because we don't have a radion

So I think I should write something absurd......
So I am sitting in the URA office writing my Law paper that I have been procrastinating for like 3 weeks. It is really funny because the professor actually wanted me to write about capital punishment which usually isn't allowed at a normal school.

I am going to evaluate the weekend:

MORHA 2007= AMAZING!
SV really did have a good weekend. It wasn't a last year, but it was MY year, and I am happy with the achievements and successess of SV in MORHA!

I can't wait to start my board position! I think I am going to like working with the people on board and being the Associate Director of Public Relations! It is going to be an awesome year for MORHA! For Sure!

I liked Sunday. It was fun hanging with my fraternity brothers!

I have just realized how great this past year has been. Minus that whole year of the rabbit thing, I think I am a pretty lucky person this semester. I have led a delegation to a conference, recieved an award I didn't think I would get, got elected to MORHA board, Elected President of my fraternity, surviving alternative breaks, going to Washington D.C this weekend! I am really blessed this semester!

The year of the rabit I think has worn off!

Everyone have a great day!

So I had a moment of clarity!
Ok, It finally happened. I didn't believe anyone when they told me it was going to happen but it finally did....

I finally realized that after this 4 year University experiance, that nothing I do here is goin go to matter to anyone. The only person it might be important to is me and well..thats only one person. So whoever told me this was going to happen...I apologize for not believing you :-)

Next, I WAS going to go clean the office today again but then I realized how dumb of an idea that was and instead worked on my speech for communication. I figured my education and graduation were a little bit more important than a hint of spray paint in the office air!

Well, Eveyone have a happy Valentine's Day!

Love

Current Mood: in the mood to clean..LOL

SUPER SMACK!
P.S.-

I just got super smacked by the bank!

Everyone have a great day!

Current Mood: SMACKED!

So, I feel like I could write a book today about what an amazing weekend it has been. I will try not to go on and on and on. (LOL)......

Let's start with the high points.
Friday = The MORHA service project was amazing at Carrollton Elementary School. The Valley Vanguard should have it in thier paper this week. It was lots of fun working with the kids and helping them read.

Also, my Fraternity (Nu Lambda Nu) had its' retreat that night. It was a fun filled night with the guys and getting to know everyone better is always good. Brotherhood has never felt as meaningful to me as it does since our retreat. Individually, we may not be all bright, but together, we form a pretty cool group.

Saturday = Sleeping .."THE WHOLE DAY", I had to recover from a very long morning :-). Saturday night was fun though.

Sunday= MORHA delegation meeting. It went amazing. Roll call looks good, banner is coming along, spirit has been great, the display looks awesome, and ofcourse philanthropy will be happening at some point.

Also, my fraternity brothers got me this amazing early birthday present! It was a "beer bong". They made it! They got everything at Home Depot. Isn't that cool? I had to try it out ofcourse and that will take us into .....

THE LOW POINT..

I am so effing hung over right now and awake at 9 am on third floor brown and i can't stand it. Drinking Beer on the night before classes is probably to dumbest thing that I have ever done EVER! lol, I know that I keep repeating this mistake. I will put effort into not making this mistake this week.

Current Mood: Hungover!

Ok So...
Ok So, I just dramatic post number 4385938759824375982479857984759279874975947547 ...infinity! Like, why are people so absurd on livejournal. Do people really want others to call the mental health hospital becuase of their posts?...ok..just wondering?

Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Current Mood: annoyed

People like Me! They Really Like Me!
hahahahahah

So today was an amazing Tuesday! I know it is technically Wedensday, but who cares. I went to internship on 3rd floor brown, class joke..I mean job, then nap, followed by an hour and a half of boaring ass law class (I can't believe I want to go to Law School)..then URA. Lets not forget a short dinner in there with good friends. It was just a really good day. After URA..Eboard bonding and I just like, love my eboard. They may smack me everytime I say something conservative or like attempt to make me liberal with every ounce of their being sometimes, BUT I love them and I couldn't have asked for better fellow ebaord members. :-)

So, I am starting to feel better about Alternative Breaks. I think that no matter what my break will work out and all of us will feel accomplished and will be able to say that we had a good time doing it. That is me being extremely positive. It's a good feeling sometimes.

Nu Lambda Nu has become a complete part of my life for the past three weeks. I cannot get over how great this fraternity is going to be. Compared to other's at the same point we are, We are doing better and I love it....I think it may have something to do with the leadership.., maybe..Hahahahah

Everyone should have a great day becuase I know I did. It shouldn't matter what else is going on that could bring you down..just have a good day and leave that mess behind. It is starting to work for me!!

Have a day filled with happiness and excitement!

Love!!!

Experiance Experiance Experiance!
I today realized why I love my friends!
1. Because they are my friends and I love them
2. Because they provide me with experiances I would have with no one else
3. Becuase they provide me with experiances that I would not want to have with everyone else.
4. Becuase they will SMACK me when I need it
5. Because they will say nice things when I deserve it.
6. Because no matter WHO or WHAT I become, they WILL always be my friends.

Sappy, I know this, but all these feelings I felt today! Today..all in one day! I was on friendship overload and it was amazing. It was like friendship on crack! :-)

First, I think I loved the United Methodist Church I went to today! I mean, where else can people feel more accepted, more comfortable, and more close to God no matter who they are, what they have been through, or what they are going through. Church is that place. I think that particular church was a shining example of God's love and work here on earth...I hope to return again :-)

Next, Lately animosity, drama, etc., have been plaguing some of my friendships. I know it is sometimes a neccessary evil of friendship, but it is still something that I don't like. Today for the first time at exactly 1:50pm, I actually had some reassurance that things WILL get better. It felt good. I mean..I still got the shit smacked out of me, but like, I at least know things ARE getting better rather than worse.

I am so excited for MORHA. No matter what might or might not happen at this conference, I know that I will be celebrating a year of a job well done and that the 24 other people I am taking to this conference will have the most amazing time at a conference that they will remember for a while. I hope my fellow CC's around the state feel the same way.

Finally, I just love my roommates (i:e: Derek) He has been an amazing best friend and a good person to confide in, especially these last couple weeks. It is a good feeling to know that I have friends like this!

I hope everyone has days where they experiance friendship on crack like I have..It is a pretty good feeling and I hope everyone has a great day!!!

3Ms-Myspace, MORHA, MY break!
It's been a while, but here it goes...

Myspace, ok so apparently I have been having tons of sex and every women I have had sex with said size does matter and that whatever pill I was taking was working. My account was phished and so now Im posting commercials for viagra every five seconds. I think I have it fixed now though.

MORHA, ok so the business meeting is this weekend, along with bid writing, and a delegation meeting. One never knows what they got themselves into until after they have already got involved in it. Im excited for all. It just wasn't as easy as others made it look! I love it though.

MY break, I love my fellow ab'ers. They are all very nice! I hope break meetings go smoothly this semester and that we have a great time in fricken New Hampshire! :-)

Great Week for America!
Well, this is the firs election in 12 years that the Democratic Party hasen't made a huge deal about voter fraud or people being disenfranchised...I wonder why that could be?...Could it be because they FINALLY won an election. I think so. First I will say, Congrats to ALL of those who won thier respective races for Governor, reps, senators, etc. It was a tough race for all!

Now, I will point to history to provide some explanation of the minority party gaining power during the last years of any President's tenure:

In Franklin D. Roosevelt's sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate.

In Dwight Eisenhower's sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate.

In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson's sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate.

In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford's sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats.

Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the end of someone's presidency and that president's party losing seats in the House and the Senate. I don't think that Democrats should be calling this a "tidal wave" or a clear sign to the President for change, I think they should call it History repeating itself like it has so many times in this situation.

Again, I am happy for the majority, but if things go as history has proven them to go, I'm sure that the minority party will soon come back to take control. Celebrate now, becuase later you won't be.

Much Conservative Love,

Shane

Goodmorning/Goodnight (depending on what you think 3am is)

I just had the most mixed bag of a day that I could think of!
1-I didn't have to go to my stats class or my PS 390 which means NO CLASS for today! AMAZING
2-Political Science Symposium=AMAZING
3-Extra SLEEP/later office hours = fabulous!
4-I HATED WORK and I feel like everyone there just wants to work at ACO for the rest of their lives and I don't! I can't wait to quit that place.....I want a job on campus next semester! REAL BAD!

5-ASB is just GLORIOUS! I love my co-breakers (all of them and) and my Site Leaders..2 of the best I think!
6-URA party put on by Reggie and Bryan was absoloutly OUTRAGEOUS! THey did such a wonderful job..I'm so glad URA is doing something this year! It pretty much made my night!
7-taking seriously random pictures and the peace sign! hahah

I don't think life could get better on this day!

Countdown begins NOW!
Good Sunday afternoon to everyone! This week and weekend has been amazing! Today starts my countdown to Canada and in honor of the Canadian experiance that I will have with brothers, I am going to not drink anything with alcohol in it until NOVEMBER 18th! Yes you read correct! After a weekend of inebriation, I hit a moment of clarity...I should just stop drinking for a while and it will be more fun the next time I do it! Since, I am going to be doing that, I also decided I should post every weekend to my journal just so everyone will know what I am thinking about watching everyone drink rather than being drunk! I CAN DO IT!

Have a great day!

LOVE!
