Irish Goodbye

As most of you guys know, I’m in Argentina. For those of you who don’t know, I’m in Argentina. I just found out via thefacebook.com because Meg and Katie “liked” it that it's called an “Irish Goodbye” when you leave without telling anyone. I think this is mostly related to bars and parties. I’ve expanded it’s meaning to include international travel. On the level of the bar/party scale, I think Pat Barr and I over four years established our dominance at this technique. However, every single one of my roommates proved skilled in this at Commencement Ball.

I’m taking over this blog that Joe created a year and a half ago and wrote many extensive posts on. Ideally, I would change the name to US vs Chile vs Argentina, but I don’t know how. So your going to have to use your imaginations.

A quick hit list to fill in the gap between Joe’s last post and now in chronological order, to accompany your reading:

- we went back to BC to do some more book learnin’

- played buckhunter there

- started a business- Late Late Night, very successful, loyal customer base

- fought the revolutionary war

- I got you guys about 800 dollarsish worth of drinking tickets on my birthday

- bought Little Andy a fire truck, but it was so cool that I became an Indian giver and took it back

- Joe was awarded Hot Dog of the Game

- Ben took a shit and then got arrested at Notre Dame

- walked across the reservoir to Mary Ann’s

- swam back (different night)

- did some strippin’ 2x

- Little Andy established his dominance of the English language

- Joe tried to sleep with me- twice

- Danielle killed the Tomacco/Shamu

- built a hockey rink

- took apart a hockey rink

- smoked crack

- kpmg lost in the championship twice

- sent Joe many pictures from my phone of my green poop that I had in Cancun, as he sat in the desk behind me during Spanish class

- went on a pub crawl with just Greg and we ended the night by saving crazy drunk driver girl’s life

- invented and implemented the game of roofbat (that is resume speak for we made a game called roofbat (it’s all about the action verbs))

- led a parade

- bedazzled and drank away marathon Monday and listened to Joe throw a timeless Animorph reference the next morning into a story he was telling the Kent

- became a substitute ESL teacher, made a few bucks

Pretty random list. If you think of anything throw it in.

Alright, so here’s what I’m thinking for this blog, since I’m still lackin’ in the friends department down here and my baseball game got cancelled today, I’ve got some time to put some stuff up.

Music: I’m going to try and post some sweet beats that they play down here. I obviously brought my discman so I can listen to the radio and nobody wants to rob a discman, even down here. Hopefully put up one or two songs a week.

Pictures: I have taken 3 pictures since I’ve been here, but I’ll take more, maybe. I’m hoping this will give me motivation. Anyway, I’m thinking I will put up only a few pictures of the more random variety on this blog, the rest I’ll eventually put in an fb album.

What I’m doing: What I am doing down here.

Zombie Apocalypse: As we continue to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, I will continue to post the innovations that they are coming up with down here. For those who don’t know, the Southern Cone is the Silicon Valley of Zombie Defense innovation.

Cultural Shit: Idiosyncrasies that I notice.

Quick Hits: I’m thinking about just throwing up a random sentence or two, so I don’t forget about something I saw or happened and someone can ask me about it if they so choose.

Home things: My only contact with home is through the internet and “eskype” as the Spanish speaker puts it. So my news comes through the form of The Herald, blogs, and Toucher and Rich. I’ll probably repost many things I find amusing so then you too can be amused during the day at your various tasks. Joe can still write on this blog and he is still the top youtuber I know whatever side of the Mississippi he is on now, so hopefully he will contribute some sweet stuff.

That is all I can think of for now in terms of an overview, I’ll throw up some actual stuff now.
