Sky...Grape?
Should be an interesting drink for the New Years Eve party.
At any rate, odds are roughly 20-1 that I say "I want that purple stuff!" at least thirty times tonight.

Avatar
Yo what it do, what it do lol. ahahaha
Ok, so I went to see Avatar in 3D a couple days ago. I wasn't really expecting anything great, I mean let's face it, the only other 3D movies that I had ever heard of were Spy Kids 3D and Ice Age 3D (both of which I did NOT attend). So, it was to be a new experience of sorts lol.
To give you, the reader, a reference point for this movie, it's basically the Blue Man Group meets Shaquille O'Neal meets Romeo and Juliet meets the trail of tears

I'm not going to lie, the movie was actually pretty good. Visually it was pretty sweet and even though the script really wasn't that great/plot kind of sucked it still managed to be worth the money. I hear it was the most expensive movie ever made, which would make sense because the 3D added a lot to the movie. Basically, it's worth the watch just for the effects. Chyeaaaaaaaa bOiiii

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, faithful Blogspotters!!
My gift to you: my last post pertaining to my 1st semester!!
Finals were truthfully veryy stressful. UConn does a lot of things to counteract this stress (or I should say our Health Education Office deals with this issue) and gives out hella stress-balls to people in the library, free massages, and this and that.
Authors Note: I'm convinced I was given the worst stress-ball in existence. It looks like an orange which is fully awesome, but when you try to squeeze it, it doesn't squoosh (squissh?). Like, it has just enough resistance where it pisses me off when I'm squeezing it ha! You know it's bad when your stress-balls are stressing you out!
Anyways, one brilliant kid decided that we were going to have a rave the Sunday before Finals week, and through the power of facebook we had over 5,000 confirmed guests haha, so my boys and I decided to check it out. We headed over to the Student Union that Sunday at 9, an hour before the start, and studied till about 15 minutes before it all went down. Being an employee at the Student Union (and by the power of my extreme boredom, a connoisseur of it...of sorts), I brought our stuff to a hidden, secret staircase so that no one would steal it.
As we were walking back down the stairs, we could hear this great host of people starting to yell and cause chaos, and stepping out onto the first floor we saw such a gathering of people lol, there must have been at least 4,000 kids crammed into SU! We rushed to the crowd to get a spot and everyone is doing chants like "Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleeeeeeee" and "We want music! *clap clap clap clap clap* lol
All of a sudden, some guy to my right taps my friend on the shoulder and motions to our group "Want to give me a lift? I'm going to crowd surf."
Fair enough, sir.
The strange thing about it though, was that he was wearing a full-on, purple tellytubby costume hahaha! We got him up, and then watched as he crowd surfed through the chaos hahaha.
At this point, the crowd let loose beach balls and stressballs from the library, which were thrown around from person to person at random, which gave us something to do as we waited for music. Out of the corner of my eye, a flash of purple catches my attention, and who is it but the purple tellytubby again!
Except this time, he was being crowd surfed up these stairs!! The people of UConn went absolutely nuts hahahaha !!! This is how legends are born.
It was nuts, the whole place was packed. Also, we saw the green man who is everywhere (just some guy in an all green costume lol) and once the music started playing everyone had a blast, great way to let off some steam, check it out on Youtube too if you're interested. HOLLAAAAA

UConn vs USF
I'll finally put up this post for Saturday Night...
Saturday rolls around, and what does UConn turn into...how about a winter wonderland lol (no homo)
Literally it's a blizzard out there! What makes it more interesting is that we have a night football game at 8 o clock vs South Florida, a team completely opposite of UConn's style: they thrive in the warm weather, with a prolific passing offense while we do work in the cold with a powerful running game. My roomate and I were all set with tickets, being season ticket holders, however we were missing one thing--bus tickets.
Now, Uconn is different than a lot of other colleges in that our football stadium is probably thirty minutes off campus, so to compensate for this the university offers bus tickets for 4 bucks each that need to be purchased about 2 days in advance. It's such a pain to go down to the Ticket Office and get them though, so we decided to try our luck and wing it.
Pat and I headed down around six thirty because we heard from a floormate that the last bus always lets you in for free. Unfortunately for us, there was a huge line still to get on, so we decided just to go inside the student union and grab some hot chocolate before attempting to sneak on. Better warm and sneaky than cold and sneaky lol. So we head in, grab some coco, and come out, and what do we see but two girls sneaking onto a bus. Pat and I pulled our best Kronk impression (the body guard from Emperor's New Groove lmao)and snuck on after them.
We decided to lay low, but the Kraut was trying to make small talk as more and more people got on, finally it was just the 8 of us: the two girls, four guys, and my roomate and I. As I listened to their convo, it suddenly dawned on me--these were the ticket checkers! I texted Pat quickly to lay low lol and we started cracking up at the irony, and the bus took off for the game.
Jimmy, John, and Kati all grabbed front row seats and we took our place next to them, and started going crazy for UConn. The field looked really amazing in the snow flurries, if you can check out some pics of the game on UConn's website I would do so. It proved to be a sick game, South Florida scored a go-ahead touchdown with 40 seconds left to go up 27-26, but we stormed back and our terrible kicker pulled some late game heroics with a 42 yard field goal as time expired ftw! We saw ourselves on the video highlights (my roomate was in an orange coat, easy to spot) and everyone was going absolutely bananas!!! Such an epic win!!! Now we have a pretty sweet bowl game in Alabama vs. South Carolina! Let's go UConn!!

Stanley the Man-ley...or not
Friday Night started out at the meeting place of almost every party night: Jimmy's room. I'm not sure why, but for some reason that's the place to be lol--Im down, its a one minute walk from my room to his! Jimmy was actually staying in that night with the most perfectly acceptable excuse of all time, but Pat was having friends from Simsbury meet up with him and we were going out with them (by we I mean myself conner pat).
So, before we met up with them, Conner and I decided to play a fun little pregaming game involving Fifa 10. We took a shot every time we scored--which was a lot seeing as we were Brazil and the computer was the Korean Dragons lol! I was probably feeling it that night more than any other night in recent memory, which resulted in some embarrassing texts sent to people the next morning...if you got one just disregard it lol.
We headed over to Greenwich house to party (this place is a favorite of ours) and got on the dance floor. As we look over, we see a dark, hulking figure...which belonged to none other than Stanley Robinson!! He had a whole entourage of girls dancing with him, which I find weird because I'm pretty sure he's like married and with kids...not very respectable Stanley lol. Also, Conner touched his hand while Stanley was making out with some chick...to which he exclaimed "does that mean I actually made out with that girl? Or threeway kissed with a girl and Stanley?" lol!!
Every time a group of drunk people go out, there is always one person that ends up getting lost, or leaves without telling anyone at some point. That is just basically party law lol. I fulfilled that role Friday Night. For some reason, I wasn't feeling the dance party, so I decided to just follow my feet for the night. I headed out with a dying phone down the Seargent Peppers street, with the I Got A Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas song in my head lol, got back to the room, played some drunk fifa, then called up DP Dough for an awesome buffalo chicken calzone (made just spicy enough for me to like it, without being unable to handle it haha). Then I met back up with Conner and Pat and the group etc later on, an interesting night. Ill post the UConn-South Florida post later tonight, pce homies!

Thy Jingle Jameth
Finals are coming up! From today on, I need to study every day for them lol, as well as the rest of the UConn Student Body, which is why the last weekend massive partying was expected lol.
I guess I'll start off at the start of the (college) weekend haha, Thursday was Jingle Jam!! Lauren drove all of us up to Hartford for the most jammest of jingles and all the way there we pregamed and spit rhymes. I was actually surprised when we got into Hartford, the area around the XL Center was really nice! Nevertheless, there were a few shady cats lingering around the premises, such as one in particular.
As we start walking to the center, some sketchy black guy walks up to us and is like "Jingle Jam T-shirts for 10 bucks" and starts slyly walking away.
Now, I may not be the most street smart person in the world, but I was still a bit iffy on this possible purchase offer. However, it can be said that Jim is not lol,and he ran up to the guy and started haggling, so Conner, Jimmy, and I started following. This dude was a born hustler lol because he ended up selling each of us a T-Shirt! Not gonna lie though I'm pretty happy with the buy haha so it was worth it.
We get in the XL Center and find our seats...honestly they were like the farthest back seats imaginable lol, and we were the only white guys in there. However, it gave us a chance to get hyphy lol and we danced like the whole concert! Almost everyone was smokin mad weed which was pretty gross lol and one of the friends actually threw up from the smell lol! (thats an entirely different story though, text me if you want to know it) The performers were crazy, the crowd was live, and it was just an awesome night in general. Such an epic day to have my first Thirsty Thursday lol!!

That shit was hilarious
Back to school for the final three weeks of first semester!
There really isn't a lot that needs to be done, besides preparing for finals...yikes. However, since I took three exams the week before thanksgiving break, there is a nice lack of homework for the time being. Being the good, organized student that I am (not), I finished the last journal for my FYE class, so all the work for that class is almost taken care of. Woot!
This weekend promises to be very interesting, because I haven't partied in a long time! I might dedicate either Saturday or Sunday to work though, because Thanksgiving Break cost me a lot more money than I thought, what with eating hella sushi, buying Christmas Gifts, and whatnot. That reminds me...I have to work tomorrow =/
For those of you that do not know, Tuesdays tend to be incredibly boring work days, so text me from 10-3 and make my day go by faster =]
All in all, my Thanksgiving Break kicked major ass!!! I got to see my cousins from Washington who are the ish, and hung out a lot with some friends. Regretfully, I would have liked to see some people more, but to be perfectly honest I have to put my family first, ya know? Like, I'm only going to see the mannis for maybe 2 weeks out of the whole year so it's really important to put them first priority even if it means sacrificing time with people I really care about too.
My internet clip of the week: Yung Mali aka Jamaal killin Cerrone on facebook with his diss video...he went hard!

Jingle Jam
Yeah totally done with Calc exam!! 2 more to go!!
Also, time to talk about a matter of hella importance...JINGLE JAMMMMMMMMMM
Some of you may be confused, and thus prompted to ask such questions as:
"But Steve, what's Jingle Jam?
Is it some sort of Christmas Concert?
That you Jam to?
The answer to that would be...why yes. But that's a different Jingle Jam (taking place December 4th at UConn which I will NOT be attending). The Jingle Jam I'm talkin about is the real motha effin deal yo!
It's goin down Thursday, December 3rd at the XL Center in Hartford, sponsored by Hot 93.7! Basically, it is the livest concert in Connecticut because it features some real big name Rap/R+B Stars, with such guests this year as Omarion, Mario, Pitbull, Fabulous, Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, and much more! They are still announcing surprise guests that are going to be there every week, and I think they are saving some of the bigger names for last...can you say Drizzy Drake Rogers!?!?!?! (it's possible, he's on some of Trey's Tracks)
I'll be goin' with Jimmy, Conner, the Kraut (my roommate Pat lol) and Billy...it's gonna be the bomb digg. I've been wanting to go to Jingle Jam since last year hahaha!
You can hear the many advertisements for it if you just listen to Hot 93.7 for 5 minutes.
This leads me to my next point: my official Club Banger Jam of the Month! This Month's winner is Everything, Everyday, Everywhere by Fabulous featuring Keri Hilson. I encourage you to check it out it's straight fire!
That's it for this post, till next time! (I'm actually keeping up with this blog pretty well lol)
Two more days till NH!!

Up
An Ipod is a must-have for college. About half of the people you see, at least on the UConn Campus, walking to class/at the gym all have them to pass the time. I, myself, have one and I use it way more than I did in North Haven, I almost didn't bring it!
I find myself listening to some pretty weird music walking around campus lmao, ranging from the metal ballads (thanks Jim and Conner), the Wicked Soundtrack, and all the way around to She Gotta Donkk lol. Not gonna lie, I would probably be embarrassed at some of these if other people could hear them haha, which prompts me to play this new game I've came up with...what's on other peoples' ipods haha. It's pretty fun, especially when I'm bored during lectures and have a window seat haha!
I just watched UP again last night...it's so damn good!! Plus, it was in HD on my blue-ray capable Sony Vaio, so it looked even sweeter haha dibs! I really love this movie haha although I may be biased because of the company I kept when I saw it the first time =)
That's pretty much it, just thought I'd update quickly...This week is going to be murder for me. I have a Calc exam tomorrow, and then a Chem and Bio exam to round out the week on Friday (help!)

Don't Trust A Kraut...
Last Night was supposed to be spent studying, while all of my friends partied hard at Carriage or something lol, but instead it resulted in our room being Party City lol!
I only got to study one chapter of Bio before it became pointless lol. Basically, we all headed to the Basketball game (which was sick!) and then afterwards headed to the Student Union. They were having some karaoke night like they do every friday, and we could not stop laughing at this one girl singin' Get Low, Baby Got Back, and Lip Gloss lol. Let's just say she wasn't the most attractive girl anyone's ever seen, and we shall leave it at that lol. Also, her musical dancer was that outrageously gay black guy from the Lip Sync Competition lmao and he was goin off the wall. Literally he was the only person dancing lol but he loved the attention...go figure haha. Also, we spotted Kwame Siriboe-Watson!!!
Then I headed back to my room (the other people went off a little earlier while I played a quick match of FIFA 2010 lol). I open the door and my room is completely dark lol, Conner and Pat are playing an intense game of FIFA 09, and Conner is talking Hellaaaaaaaa shit to pat the whole time. I send Jimmy a text that I'm at my room, and he shows up 5 minutes later with Zoli and Jim, who proceed to DJ the game and add to the trash talk.
I go up to the top bunk and try to continue to study lol, when I get another text--this time it's Zach. He wants to know what were up to so he heads up to the room too.
A little while after that, I get a text from some bitties and they head up as well lol so now theres like legit 10 people in my room, and we stop playing FIFA and start playing some music from the xbox. Literally, for the rest of the night we blared music and sang along/danced completely sober, at some points screaming out the lyrics lol! I don't know how we didn't get caught haha it was crazy up in Russell 303.
Also, one of my floormates stopped by and joined the dance party lol except he was kinda a scrub at dancing...he thought he was the shit and everyone was just like...oh yea thats sick...
Good kid though haha Conner and I were crackin up after it.
Also, we woke up and ate breakfast this morning and Conner and I made a new song about Pat. It goes: Don't Trust a Kraut, Never Trust a Kraut, Don't Trust a Kraut, Trust Me, which was coined due to a couple of reasons.
1) You just cant trust a Kraut lol
and
2) Pat's been saying he's gonna buy his own shampoo for a week but hasn't gotten around to it lmao which Conner found as hella bullshit (not really a big deal truthfully haha)
Oh and 3) Conner couldn't open his hardboiled egg with the plastic knife after asking Pat what the German way of opening it is.
Trivial, but funny all the same lol
I only got to study one chapter of Bio before it became pointless lol. Basically, we all headed to the Basketball game (which was sick!) and then afterwards headed to the Student Union. They were having some karaoke night like they do every friday, and we could not stop laughing at this one girl singin' Get Low, Baby Got Back, and Lip Gloss lol. Let's just say she wasn't the most attractive girl anyone's ever seen, and we shall leave it at that lol. Also, her musical dancer was that outrageously gay black guy from the Lip Sync Competition lmao and he was goin off the wall. Literally he was the only person dancing lol but he loved the attention...go figure haha. Also, we spotted Kwame Siriboe-Watson!!!
Then I headed back to my room (the other people went off a little earlier while I played a quick match of FIFA 2010 lol). I open the door and my room is completely dark lol, Conner and Pat are playing an intense game of FIFA 09, and Conner is talking Hellaaaaaaaa shit to pat the whole time. I send Jimmy a text that I'm at my room, and he shows up 5 minutes later with Zoli and Jim, who proceed to DJ the game and add to the trash talk.

One more day till Friday!
Thirsty Thursdays hollaaaa!
Ok, not so much lol, but as Mr. Mac taught me, you always have to start out with one of those attention grabbers.
So, right now I'm taking a break from studying Biology, and I decided to update this thing for the people to see how I'm doin.
Just keepin' it trill lol.
I just found out about Pandora, it's pretty sweet! I'm listening to the Drake station and it's actually really good, I miss listening to the radio (Hot 93.7 represent!) back home. You never really get a chance to listen to it up here because you're never in a car driving around campus. Speaking of being in the 203, I can't wait to go back and catch up with everyone! It seems like college is seperate from the real world at times lol and when I get back to NH it's nice to just relaxxxxxxxxx
Also, random update: some kid just kicked open the door to the study, drunk off his ass lol, and sat down and started eating some skittles lmao. The person he was with was like "Omg sorry sorry !!" and had to like forcibly remove him from the room lmao.
Gotta love UConn.

A Random Wednesday Post
Totally saw Toni Stahl eating dinner at South today, it was awesome! (no homo lol)
Also, procrastinating so much right now, I really don't want to study for my three exams next week, but I have to soon. I am actually gonna take this weekend off from partying and buckle down, I can sacrifice one weekend if it will help my gpa out a little.
Check out Lil Wayne's new mixtape No Ceilings, it has "more fire than a dragon fight" lol

(Half) Weekend in the 203
Holla back!
Just got my H1N1 flu vaccination haha (aka swine flu)!! I was just working my job, walking around the Student Union and one of the nurses spotted me and gave a whole presentation telling me to get it lol, so I ran into the clinic during my break to quickly get it. I was a little nervous lol, because those of you that know me well know that needles are not up on my list of favorite things (especially not finger pricks lol!) and I've never actually volunteered to get a shot haha.
Thankfully, I filled out the paperwork, walked up to the nurse, who then told me I was getting the nasal vaccine haha ftw! So bring on the flu!
Half of my weekend was spent at UConn, which unfortunately was soooo dead. To make matters worse, Providence beat us in the second round of the soccer tournament...it was some effin hella bullshit!!!! They played like such pansies, dropping every player but one striker back for the whole game, they were obviously playing for penalty kicks. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of those games when nothing goes in, and they got one lucky break in sudden death overtime to take the game.
The other half was spent relaxing at home, I left at like 11 Sunday morning and went back to UConn Tuesday morning. Don't be offended if I didn't hit you up to hangout lol, I really needed some time to just relax and be with the family...THANKSGIVING BREAK SOON! It was nice being at home, UConn is so hectic with all the work and friends to hangout with, it's nice to just escape for a little bit.
Also, I went to the North Haven girl's state soccer game!! It was pretty sick lol I really wanted to make at least one game this year and I finally got around to seeing them win! Jess drained a top of the box, lob shot over the keepers head for the game winner with about 20 to go, nice job! Terrible officiating though, one of the guys looked like he should have been drinking prune juice at a diner or something he was so old. Anyways, it made my day =]
That's about it, just workin for the weekend right now lol

Adventureland
Another good thing about UConn--the weekends are always fun regardless of how drunk one is. I had a great time going to the movies (fo' free) and seeing this movie adventureland with my people. It was just chill, we talked and relaxed, and Jimmy and I were hella hyper. We were just off the wall in a weird mood that we termed as "post dystrophic syndrome lol" which basically just means feelin good after workin out. It was a nice start to the weekend, and I definitely needed it after all the stressin I've been doin in the past week.
It seems like quite a bit of people went home this weekend, my roommate included lol which is nice in a way. I actually might be headed back to North Haven tomorrow morning, I'm going to go see the Wethersfield-NH soccer game on Monday...might be tougher to make than I thought at first, but I can't screw this up.
This morning was sick too because the Sunderland-Tottenham game was on this morning at ten!!! It was pretty epic, the caliber of the premiership is exceptional, better than I expected, Sunderland plays soccer with real pace and crispness.
This post is all over the place--allow me to bring it back to last night. Apparently, Jimmy's roommate Ben and this fat kid Devin tried what they called "the thirty challenge". This consisted of the two of them drinking a whole thirty rack each lol from 1 pm to 12 am. Children, I must warn you not to partake in this, honestly it was retarded, however they are heavy drinkers so they actually made it out alright lol. Devin is pretty belligerent when drunk and the whole room smelled like beer, Ben passed out too so it was just kinda crazy (and slightly pathetic). TO be honest, if I did something like that I'd be dead or severely alcohol poisoned lol but they drink so much that they managed to get out ok. Kudos I guess lol!

Nikh Bowl!
Yoooo who's pumped for nikh bowl!
Legit I can't wait! Firstly, because I'll be back home on Thanksgiving Break. It's relaxing being home, I have to say. Secondly, because I get to see my friends from high school playing sports hahah. I'm gonna be goin shirtless along with Jimmy for Amy and Sarah, if you want your number on me and you are a senior girl lol just holla at me. We've been hitting up the gym everyday in preparation lol--we can't go shirtless lookin like scrubs! Although I have to admit it's going to be freezing. That's the one downside.
At least this time it's a home game haha! Don't want a repeat of last years disaster.

No Shave November
The first time I heard about "No Shave November" was when I walked past one of my floor mate's doors. On it was a piece of paper that said "NO SHAVE NOVEMBER" and a list of names underneath. Apparently the first one to shave owes all of the other names on the list like a thirty rack or something.
Now, I may not be interested in that aspect of the deal, however this provided me with some food for thought. What would I look like with a beard lol? So, I've decided to conduct a little experiment with myself as to how I would look with one.
I know what some of you may be thinking...Steve, don't be a tool lol. I know a beard on me is gonna look ridiculous haha, but if my dad can pull off the mutton chops, who knows lol and it's not like im going out of my way to impress anyone at Uconn. Currently I'm on day 6.

The Uconn men and women's team for basketball are starting up! Both our exhibition games have been played, with the men winning like 123-67 and the women winning something like 100-32 lol! Get pumpeddddddddddd
In soccer news, we clinched a share of the Big East regular season title! Jim, Pat, and I all stormed the field with the rest of the fans as they took multiple photos, you can kind of see my head in one of them (number 27 in the gallery, towards the right) but for some reason im looking to my left, camera's right, so good luck trying to find it. I would put it in here and circle it but I need to buy the rights =/ for like 15.99...Eff that! This will build character haha. We nabbed some grass from the field and it currently is residing on top of our microwave =]

Reflections
Man, I have to say that college is such a crazy experience. It's not really the partying that I am talking about (although that of course is QUITE an experience), rather, the self-realization process that one undergoes. I feel like I've learned a lot about myself since my days in the 203.
For instance, I feel like I've become much more confident in social situations. I used to always have Geoff to talk to when things became boring in conversations, and sometimes I didn't feel the need to meet new people--I could just talk to Geoff instead. At UConn though, it's a necessity to meet new people and it's coming to me a lot easier than I thought it would be. Everyone has those moments during their senior year where they just freeze up and have a 5 second panic attack about the prospect to going off to college on their own, but it really isn't that bad when you get here.
Also, I feel like I was defined in high school as being an athlete, specifically being a track superstar and all state soccer player. In some ways I felt like I had to live up to these expectations at all times, and that didn't really allow me to just be myself except when I was with my true friends. At UConn though it's nothing like that, people don't even know that I did track at all! So, I'm pretty happy about that.
I've definitely changed in other ways too, and I feel like this is for the better. I see so many kids who come to college and they are completely different people--they smoke pot, they drink everyday, they become really bitchy and/or arrogant, and to me that is a damn shame. All I can really say is that I adhere to my morals that I feel are right, and nothings going to make me do things I don't want to do. I think it shows a lack of character to become someone you aren't just to impress others, that shouldn't be how things go.
Well, that's about it for this post, I've been doing a lot of thinking about that sort of thing lately. This was mainly more for me than anything lol.
But I'm pumped for Halloween!!

Instant Dailies
What's up blogspotters, right now I'm just watching the UConn football game on TV vs West Virginia, and I was bored so I decided to put up a post.
Here's another reason why I really like UConn...the Newspapers! Basically we get a paper everyday called the Daily Campus, and it is pretty informative on the doings of UConn Campus. The best part about it though is that they have this section called the "Instant Dailies", which can pretty much be compared to such websites as FML.com or Texts from last night, etc. There's hella prestige if you make the top ten for a day, and usually they are very funny, here are a few funny ones over the last two weeks.
My boyfriend asked me what I wanted to be for Halloween this year. I said single.
Take your time UConn maintenance,the inch of water on my floor can wait.
My roomate just caught two ladybugs in one cup. Two ladybugs, one cup?
To the guy who left the completed crossword puzzle and sudoku in one of the library bathroom stalls, how long were you there for?
To the dude who sleepwalks down the hall: perhaps you should wear some pants before you go to bed.
To the delivery guy on Friday Night: Sorry I didn't tip you. Hope the free beer you funneled at my door made up for it.
Dear roomate: I appreciated waking up to you sitting on your bed staring at me in the middle of the night.
To the two guys that made out at Thirsty Dog just to see my friend and I kiss...we faked it, but I saw your tongues touch.
The rhythmic beating above me is getting extremely annoying...especially because I know it's freshmen playing DDR...
To the kid who wears the Ash Ketchum hat every day, you better check your Pokedex because I think you just caught my heart.
Should I have murdered the girl next to me who said, "What's BB TIX? What did I win?"
To the drunk guy who proposed to me last night...I'm not giving you your ring back.
And Finally, my personal favorite:
To the kid who gave a tree stump speech about the Confederacy coming back from Carriage, I hope you realize you are deep inside Union territory. And that you are insane.

She Got A Donkk Donkk Donkk
Yoooooooooooo dude so much to post!
Well I guess I'll start off with Thursday Night lol. For those of you that don't know the significance of homecoming week (I didn't either till a couple days ago), we basically have court voting that takes place from Monday to Wednesday, and then our highly popular, annual lip sync competition. When you think about it though, it's basically less of a sing off then it is a dance off, and the competitors were the four cultural centers in one category (Asian American, African American, Puerto Rican American, and the Rainbow center-because being gay is apparently a culture now lol) and the other category had all the fraternities.
Conner came up for the weekend and I have to say, it's the [second] best move by him to date. The "group" headed up to Gampel Pavilion and met up with some of Pat's girl friends (friends that are girls lol), one of them was actually really cute lol. Well, we were talking to them and all of a sudden, I look down and I see the most outrageous sight I've ever seen. Now, last year our high school president was gay, which was completely fine because he was hella funny and had swag lmao but what I see is this black girl absolutely breakin it down to She Got A Donkk by Soulja Boy.
Let me edit that, what I thought was a black girl lol was actually our runner up for Homecoming King, an outrageously gay black guy that was dancing hella girly lol and he was pullin out some crazy moves. Gampel would make such a great club because the bass that they had was literally shaking the whole Pavilion, you could literally feel it vibrating through your chest. We were cracking up watching this guy dance, he was literally humping the ground at some points lmao it was so freaken weird. Anyways, the competition got under way and it was amazing, the Asians held it down with an amazing dance routine lol they were like fuckin kabba modern from Americas Best Dance Crew. Also, the blacks represented, and the gays routine was just freaken weird but they could dance for sure. After that I crammed for a big bio exam that I actually did well on! On to friday...
Friday came around and we decided to hit up First Night, the Uconn's men and women's basketball's first night practice. It was off the wall. We went with essentially the same people that went to lip sync, and were mad pumped to meet the basketball team for the first time. Gampel was packed, and after waiting for a while the whole stadium went black.
Then they had a sick light show and started playing Thriller as loud as possible, listen to the beggining it was epic. As soon as it came on everyone stood up and I got the chills-it was amazing. The announcer then announced the players, they would get a huge applause lol and had their own theme music, so a lot of them started breakin it down. The basketball teams can dance so well its insane! Also, it is mad funny seeing 7 footers breakin it down hahaha
Friday night was pretty baller too but it was the typical stuff, and as for saturday...all im gonna say is hell yeah lol

Then they had a sick light show and started playing Thriller as loud as possible, listen to the beggining it was epic. As soon as it came on everyone stood up and I got the chills-it was amazing. The announcer then announced the players, they would get a huge applause lol and had their own theme music, so a lot of them started breakin it down. The basketball teams can dance so well its insane! Also, it is mad funny seeing 7 footers breakin it down hahaha
Friday night was pretty baller too but it was the typical stuff, and as for saturday...all im gonna say is hell yeah lol
Friday, October 9, 2009
I am sooo ready for the weekend. Yesterday was my Calculus exam, all I have to say about that really is fuck my life. However, now the rest of my week is a breeze, my Calc. class on friday is cancelled, as is my Bio exam, so all I really have to do is go to Chemistry at 10-10:50, woot!!
It seems like on days when I have exams, a ridiculous amount of people suddenly start getting into contact with me again. "Hey, lets get lunch!" "Hey, we should totally go to south and eat today!" "Hi! Can I call you in ten?" etc. I mean, seriously it's nice that this happens, but gimme some time to cram why don't you! My one weakness is I have a hard time saying no lol so it puts me in a tough spot, I obviously have to study that's a no brainer, but I feel terrible doing it.
While I was on the phone with one of my many cousins lol, I hear a knock on the door. Pat and I look at each other in confusion, because literally no one comes up to Russell with the rug situation we have to visit. lol so Pat opens the door and I'll be damned if it isn't some creeper 40 year old guy.
Creeper:"Wanna buy a t-shirt?"
*Me and Pat look at each other*
Me:"Let's see them."
*Creeper pulls out a t-shirt entitled "UConn--We sink 'em, you drink 'em" with a picture of a rack of solo cups on them, at which Pat and I burst out laughing about. Me:"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nah we're good lol."
So that was weird lol. Also, recently went to see the Hangover at the SU theatre!! It was a lot funnier this time than last time, probably because the first time you're just like...HUH? WTF? at some of the parts and this time you're expecting it lol. After seeing the Hangover we headed to the gym, to lift some heavy weight son. Now, it was like 11:30 before we decided that it would be a good idea to go swimming. They have towels that they hand out in exchange for one's id, so we went over and grabbed a towel. Working there was some annoying girl who was trying to start a conversation, but Pat and I wanted none of that so we left. We change, and take a shower (with bathing suits on, thusly no homo) because everyone has to shower before going in the pool and we head to the door.
The door doesn't open.
Pat and I are just like WTF lol and start making fun of the girl for the next twenty minutes. "Oh btw, thanks for telling me that the pool was closed so as not to waste our time, since we so obviously were going swimming due to the goggles we were carrying, thanks a million!" lmao so yea goin home tomorrow and pumped

Success
My heart pounds as I stare at my bright, Sony Vaio laptop screen in the library. Laura is talking to me--I pay her absolutely no attention, all I'm getting from her is akin to what Charlie Brown hears from his teachers.
A bead of sweat drops down my forehead...I've never been more nervous in my entire life, I'm even more nervous than before a track race at States.
One thing is for sure though--my adrenaline is pumping, and as every Brown knows, once the adrenaline flows, failure is not an option.
What could possibly be making me so focused? SEASON TICKETS FOR UCONN BASKETBALL WERE ON THE LINE.
Basically, UConn can only sell so many season tickets, and due to the large number of prospective buyers, they have to do a lottery system where your name gets put in once if one is a freshmen, twice if a sophomore, three times if a junior, and four times if a senior. Now, out of the winners, a decent amount of people forget, or just don't pick up their tickets for whatever reason. These tickets are resold on October 5th at 10:00 pm. So literally a thousand people across campus are vying for those last tickets, could I, the unlucky guy that I am, pick up the tickets!?!?
Hellz Yeah lol, GOT EMMMMM YA BOI GOT HIS MOTHA EFFIN TICKETS ON THE REAL
Such an epic win, can't even explain it haha. After I got them, we went upstairs (myself, laura, and lyly) and took a seat at this table next to these two upperclassmen trying to get tickets. What jokes, they didnt land them!! lol so I cocked the computer screen facing them (not obviously) with my order confirmation email lol because let's face it, with such a big victory, a little rubbin' it in has to come with the territory.
Later that same night, Jimmy and I head out for a little fire chat at around 12. As we pass the trail by Jorgensen, we run into four kids walking the same way. One of the guy grabs Jimmy and I by the neck, clearly inebriated, and starts walkin with us like we've been friends for years. Apparently, it's the guys 21st birthday and he's extremely gone. We make friends with him though and find out who he is, apparently he's some big shot (may or may not be true) that is a senior, and was the N in UCONN at the football games lol. His friends were all sober lol so they were lookin out for him. He must have asked us if we were drinking a million times because we had gatorade bottles, but we kindly reminded him that it was a monday night lol. Anyways, we walked them back to South campus (more by necessity than anything else--he still had his arms around our necks) and he offered us a beer. Not wanting to get caught, we turned it down lol. The guy was crazy, but it definitely was something different haha, after that we were right by West so we hit up McGrath and talked in the Gazebo till about 2 a.m. before we headed home. Good Night lol

Fairy Alert
I'll leave off basically on my last post.
So, I head over to the Female Orgasm lecture, and the theatre was packed!!!!! Thankfully, Jimmy had saved my seat, which btw I very much appreciate since like 40 people asked him to sit there, and I popped a squat. Jimmy introduces me to this kid Eric, who was sitting to his left, we shake hands and exchange the usuals. My first impression of Eric: definitely an experianced partyer. This kid looked like your typical frat kid, and he was a junior so he definitely had gone to Carriage his fair share of times. We start talking and laughing and I notice he has a very loud, to the point of being obnoxious, laugh.
As I settle in my seat while Eric Bouchard, Lauren Albert's bf, is giving us some information on some Metanoia happening at UConn, out of the corner of my eye I see this guy with a notebook sitting in front of us.
Really? You're taking notes at a Female Orgasm lecture? This guy needs some serious help lol haha. I notice he's written something already so I go in for a closer look. Word for word (I wrote it in my phone) the notebook says:
Dear God, Please silence these two guys behind me.
I've lost faith in humanity. "
Wowww he was talking about the guy Eric and his black friend who were cracking up at like every joke obnoxiously. No class. As I go in for a closer look, my gaydar goes off and now I'm confused, why is he even here? Everyone eventually notices, especially when he started making tallymarks next to the faith in humanity part everytime Eric and his buddy laughed at a joke. Naturally, that pissed Eric off so when we broke up into two groups Eric was like "Which side you goin on buddy?"
Not exactly the high road I would have chosen, but whatever. That guy was a grade A douchebag...
The show itself was actually very funny, definitely relieved some stress that I had studying for Chemistry which was good.
As for yesterday, I studied all day until I took my exam, then I hit up the 203! The alumni game got cancelled though =/ so basically the trip wasn't worth it, plus I took too long catching up with Geoff and the fam so I didn't get a chance to see the people I was really looking forward to seeing...
And it's my dad's birthday lol, so I got him Samurai Jack Season 4! lmao he loves that show

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
You know, I kinda like my schedule for the most part. Those who know me well know that I am not really a "morning person", in fact I remember walking around NHHS like a zombie for the first two periods because I had to get up at 6 a.m. every morning. At UConn, with my earliest class being at 9:30 for one day of the week, and 10:00 for the rest of the week, sleep is pretty abundant.
Soooo tell me why I had to wake my ass up at 7:30 in the morning today?
Basically, what happened was I faintly heard my roomate Pat's alarm clock go off. So now I'm chillen in that limbo between sleep and being awake. The next thing I know, I am hearing the melodious chimes of a fire alarm blaring on all cylinders...
Really? WTF
My roomate and I spring from our beds muttering "shoot, eff, dangit" (censored lol) and throw on clothes before we run outside. It was HELLAAAA cold out. So, you know, nice way to start the day.
Also, the Iron Curtain met our demise last night...we finally upgraded our girls to "able to pass first time" status so we were pumped. Unfortunetly they had freaken Casillas in net and he stopped some pretty amazing shots for a 2-0 loss. We really took it to them the whole game though, and I am proud of the team effort. We would have beat any other team in B with that effort, unfortunate draw for us.
I'm about to head out to some female orgasm thing, should be interesting lol.
Also, my roomate sleeps like a vampire. He just lays there on his back and sleeps lol its kinda funny kinda creepy at the same time, and never fails to startle when he asks me what time it is.
Chem exam friday =/

Saturday
Man these posts are late. I gotta get back on my grind for blogspot haha
Anyways, Saturday was probably the best night I've had at UConn. First, we hit up the UConn-Rhode Island game (fun fact: UConn has played URI more than any other team--94 meetings dating back to 1897) which turned out to be a blowout even though UConn fumbled like 7 times lol. I think the final score was something like 51-10, but we left in the middle of the third quarter with Jimmy's sister and Jill.
Basically it was a huge reunion haha. Billy was up, Conner came up, my cousin Kathryn came up, and Amy came up! It was basically a bonanaza so everyone split up and did their own thing haha. Jimmy and Amy went off while Billy took a nice nap, and I headed over to Tima's to meet my cousin Kathryn (Conner didnt come until later). I chilled at Tima's with KB for a little then headed off with Kathryn to give her a quick tour of the superior big east school lol. We met up with Jim on the way, and hit up all the cool spots around campus.
After that, we head back to the dorms and assemble the group to go out--our destination was Lauren's apartment. Naturally, we pre-gamed and then went out for the night to Lauren's friends party at Hunting Lodge!!!! Hunting Lodge is basically off campus apartments that one has to walk a longgg way to. They had some pretty sick party games there, some involving frisbees, whre you had to knock the bottle off of a stick and catch the bottle or the frisbee, kinda hard to explain. Billy and I lost though, it was tough when feelin it haha. Then we just had a bangin ass dance party and took mad pics, so all in all it was successful.

It's Friday Night, and the feelin's right! Oh What A Night
This weekend has been hellaaaaa busy! So much goin on, I'll stick with Friday for the time being.
Afterwards, I hit up the practice soccer fields with Jimmy, Will, and Jim McG to relieve some stress from the exams. As we walked onto the pitch we met some scrubs that were kicking around, and we asked them to play a game with us. They agreed.
Fun Fact about playing with flat balls: everyones touch goes to shit.
Sooo as one should know, I had my Bio exam! It was so tough, even with all the studying, I am going to have to start studying earlier and harder this time. The exam took up all my day up to 2 o clock studying stuff.
Afterwards, I hit up the practice soccer fields with Jimmy, Will, and Jim McG to relieve some stress from the exams. As we walked onto the pitch we met some scrubs that were kicking around, and we asked them to play a game with us. They agreed.
And then I ripped the ball....it dinged the post and went in. Then the four of us proceeded to take rips until they decided against playing. Pussies lol.
But we met up with our French friends + Seye the african from Bridgeport and some kid JJ from Haiti. We split into teams and had a pretty legit game with NH + Haiti vs all. There was some dispute over which ball to use about halfway through the game (the balls we brought were like rocks from being recently pumped up, theirs was as flat as could be) and we switched to their ball.
Fun Fact about playing with flat balls: everyones touch goes to shit.
It did produce a funny moment though--Jimmy tried to settle the ball, and it bounced away from him. Trying to save the possession, he ripped an off balance shot that veered wayyy to the right. At this point in the story, allow me to backtrack to when we first got there. Lo and Behold the whole softball team was having practice right behind the soccer fields, which made going after missed shots a real pain in the @$$. Literally, as Jimmy kicked the ball, one of the softball pitchers started her windup, and about midway through she totally got slammed in the face with the soccer ball. I would guesstimate that she was down for about a good five minutes, which is about half as long as the time everyone spent laughing at her and Jimmy.
Anyways, from there we headed up to see St Johns, #1 in the nation, vs your UConn huskies in soccer. You already know how ya boi Toni Stahl does, he was not about to let some "scrub" (to his standards) team come up and do him like that. He sent them packing for a nice 1-0 loss, courtesy of a header by Kwame Watson-Siriboe, our resident 6 foot 4, 225 pound of muscle captain defender. Josh Ford was a maniac in goal, actually going completely horizontal at one point about 5 or 6 feet in the air to make a save. Ridiculous.
And the new highlight of my UConn career: after the game we waited for all the players to come out with the goal patrol, and Jim and I had a black hug with Kwame Watson-Siriboe!!!! Literally, the conversation went something like this:
Kwame: (embracing me) "Bro, thanks for coming to the game, you're my best friend ever and I want you to know that any time you want you can party with me."
Me: I know.
...Ok maybe not exactly like that but you get the idea. Goal Patrol FTW
Then hit up Carriage like usual. Ill post Saturday tomorrow haha kkkkkkkkkkkk

3-2
Glorius win for Iron Curtain United! Our intramural team squeaked out a decisive 3-2 win over Best You Ever Had despite adversity!! Basically, the standings looked a little like this...two teams ahead of us had 2-0 and 2-1 records respectively, with our team sitting squarely in third at 1-1. Another team had a record of 1-2 and finally, the team we played today was 0-2.
I should've known, with a name like the Iron Curtain, its a guarentee. 3-2 win!
Bio Exam Tomorrow.
The way the playoff system is that four of the five teams qualify based on the standings. So, it was a must win. Now we are definitely in with that win, but had we lost we would be sitting at 1-2 along with two other teams =x.
I had a biology exam review at 7:00, but thankfully I had time to play in the first half. The team we were playing were a bunch of scrubs, with the exception of one "good" player. I donned the jersey #10 just like my boi Rooney and the game began. Iron Curtain took an early lead when Pat passed to Jimmy, who took it up the gut and fired a shot at the other teams keeper, who was surprisingly stingy despite his lack of coordination. The shot deflected to yours truly and I buried it for a 1-0 lead. They stormed right back though, when this black athlete totally burned Tima down the line (wasn't a soccer player, just kicked it around her) and scored right in front of the goal. 1-1.
I was a little nervous at this point, because Jim McG, our resident Iron Curtain Member, was sitting on the bench with our defense being "solidified" by two girls, Tima and some other girl who we will just say wasn't Ronaldo level....more like Minotti level.
Our team was locked in their end for much of the remainder of the half, with a dizzying offense between myself, Pat, and Jimmy searching for a hole to attack, while our girls remained unused except to put back in clearances. Despite their lack of soccer skill, they did indeed do a great job of compacting their defense, they literally had 5 people back in front of the goal. Finally, the other team countered up to our third of the field, and this is when we regained the ball. Their good player was caught in the attack and it was just Jimmy and I charging down at this girl. Jimmy played me a through ball that was a great ball, but turned into a 50-50 with the keeper charging out lol. I knew it was going to be a collision, neither of us was going to bitch out on this one. I barely beat him to the spot and slotted it by him, but was knocked off balance when he crashed into me. Thankfully I regained my balance because the turf would have given me major rugburn. 2-1 Iron Curtain.
Much to my dismay (and anger), only about two minutes after this, their good kid brought it down the wing, outran Tima, and passed it to the black kid who was wide open (left open by the other girl) for their second goal. 2-2. Enough of that, I signal Jim McG to come in to make our defense impenetrable, and took out Jimmy for tactical purposes. I put the girl up at forward position where she wouldn't fuck too much else up lol. The ref blows his whistle for halftime.
Damn, I told myself I was going to leave at half...but I can't leave this game. The Iron Curtain's name was at stake, as well as the prospect of playing in the playoffs!!
I decided to have Jimmy count down 5 more minutes until he would sub me out. I had a small time frame to score/create a lead to leave them with. Four uneventful minutes passed. I anxiously looked at the clock. Fortunately for us, the other team had a corner kick. They decided to send everyone but a lone girl back (albeit she was manly) to try to get the go-ahead goal. I knew what to do lol. Jim McG headed it out as far as he could and it came right to me. I turned and sprinted the length of the field at the lone girl. To my immense relief, Pat, my loyal roomate, had sprinted up the field along with me...now I would not have to beat her off of the dribble and I had a passing option. He sprinted by me to my right and I faked a pass to him as he reached the girl, who reacted as I thought she would. She hesitated, putting her weight on her left in case I passed to Pat, and I quickly cut to the left past her. One on One with the Keeper.
Now, I don't know why this guy was so out of position, but for some reason when I looked up he was running to the near post (he got juked out too?). No way could I mess this up, I simply placed it near post and gave us the lead. I promptly left and hoped that the defense would hold.
I should've known, with a name like the Iron Curtain, its a guarentee. 3-2 win!
Bio Exam Tomorrow.
Soccer players will appreciate this post. lolz

My New Home
I have discovered a new home at UConn.
It's name is Homer Babbidge Library.
That's right, I have spent 7 hours there studying/doing homework today, 8 hours studying/doing homework there yesterday, and 4 hours studying/doing homework there the day before that.
And I'm still not ready for the Bio Exam!!!
My exam is Friday, and it is currently running my life lol although I have to say, I have discovered a couple cool things...mainly, that I love Biology and studying it is actually pretty relaxing. I'm not gonna lie I get pretty damn worked up over studying Phospholipid Bi-layers, Macromolecules and the like haha I'm lovin this shit for real.
Anyways, lately things have been really stressful so I am looking forward to playing soccer tomorrow and letting some of it out. It's been tough trying to find time at the gym so I've been resorting to pushups and ab-workouts before bed, which is not getting the job done =/
I'm gonna have to make some time Saturday and on because this week is just to hectic.
The weekend is coming up and I am hella pumped, Kathryn's coming up to party at UConn!! We will show her just how much Syracuse sucks compared to this top notch Big East school lol =p
Billy's coming up too! Might have to keep an eye on him though, as he is hurting pretty bad from his breakup with Maryrose, shit aint right...but we will be there for him.
As for my day today, my 5 classes in a row went by fairly quickly. I managed to make enough time in the 15 minutes I had to cross campus to stop in Student Union to grab some sushi to eat on the go...basically imagine me running across campus stuffing my face with some very stylish chopsticks lol!!
That's about it though, I could write more but I need to get back to studying!! =]

Student Union Husky Ambassador Steve lol
Officially, as of 11:26 am today, I have a job. Finally. I'm slated to be a student union husky ambassador, which basically means I'll be walking around student union, radioing people to pick shit up lol, opening and locking doors for meetings, etc. etc.
Got emmmmmm
This Friday I have my first exam...oh shit. I basically will be hitting the books harder than ever because I've got to master the first nine chapters of biology =/ fuck my major!
A wave of change is coming to my group of friends lol that I for sure didn't foresee. These next couple of days are going to be very interesting...
Also, fuck the jets. lolz

You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?
ATTENTION faithful followers of the blogspot known as "Husky Nation: Tales of the Goal Patrol and more". We have a serious problem. Everyday, for the past week, I have been checking/expecting mail in my mailbox.
The Good News: I memorized my locker combination for the mailroom =)
The Bad News: I have recieved zero letters, packages, parcels, and anything of the like. =(
So, just in case the word hasn't gotten out, my mailing address is:
Steven Brown
303 Russell
Storrs, CT 06269
Do Something. lolz
Aside from that I would also like to bring another thing up that has been bugging me. Our cafeteria does it's patrons the great service of offering milk and cereal at all times of the day (gotta have my lucky charms at 10 pm), in addition to serving the rest of the "kinda-good-sometimes" food served throughout the day. Unfortunetely, they only have a very limited amount of cereal bowls. Or, at least that's the way it seems...because every time I want cereal I go on a veritable wild goose hunt for the bowls (EFF!)!
The comedian Julian McCullough came to UConn and we put his show on via the Comedy Committee (SUBOG! Holla). This dude was wayy better than Sebastion Manisculo lol. Check him out, check him out
Also, I got a great chance to talk to my amazingly hot/funny/cute/witty/my dream girl R.A. today. Unfortunetely, it was because I had locked myself out of my room, and with Pat away for the weekend I was S.O.L. until I saw Leah. Thankfully, it only took about ten minutes for the people to come unlock my door (turned out to be some italian guido yappin away on the phone) so my embarrassment was short-lived. I'll have to dedicate a post to Leah one of these days lol. That about wraps it up, let the party get started for this weekend!!

Random-nicity
Yooo Blogspotters what's going down, I've been away for a bit, but ya boi's back.
I saw some weird things around campus today. Some guy was vaccuming rocks and dirt near the steps of Northwest. Three crows were chillen on top of Hanks building, I wonder what kind of omen that is?
We had our first intramural soccer game!! Our team is pretty stack, it's me, my filthy roomate Pat, Jamba, Jim McG, Jeninho, Tima "the mace" (she carries around pepperspray at all times lmao) Vinca, and Jackie. Unfortunetely, we lost 5-3 which is bullshit hahaha! I vow to train harder and run shit.
This weekend was interesting to say the least, got to see my favorite girl from NH, but apparently Jimmy's gf had a terrible time. Which I found out via facebook status lol. Which is great because I hung out with her this weekend, thanks a bunch!
I've spent the last couple hours chillen with my new friends Tamara and Amanda, two funny ass black girls! We've been dancing to nigga beats and rappin and shit and its basically the bomb haha not gonna lie it's been a fun night. I'm pretty tired right now, but I really needed to update this thing, maybe I'll put up the football post tomorrow. Pce!

Finding Steve-o
Basically, Geoff proposed a competition of sorts to myself and Jim: who can get more jacked by the end of first semester. Therefore, I have been going to the gym every day, and I have to say I'm noticing the improvements lol, watch out Geoff. The secret to my training (which I realize will no longer be a secret after this blog post) : swimming every day son!
Yeah, that's right.
UConn hooked ya boi up with his own personal swimming pool.
Ok maybe not my own personal swimming pool, but still. I bought some goggles so I'm gonna be a motha effin fish, kinda like Finding Nemo minus the "special fin" lolz.
Also, hit up the "Involvement Fair". Nothin that great, my roomate joined the German Club (Der Deutschland) which is pretty sick, I wish I had some European ethnicity besides English so I could join one of those haha.
So, that's about it for this week. Heard some pretty terrible news about back home (where I will be heading Friday actually just for the day), but yeah that's it. Stay tuned for the freakin' weekend

Donde Esta Mi Amigo
So, today I awoke, after a long night of partying, to the sound of the UConn fight song--my ringtone. It was none other than Tim, and he was wondering where Conner was. Conner by all rights should have been in my room sleeping, as we had made prior arrangements for him to do so, but somehow we split up during the night and I assumed that he would just room with Tim instead. I passed out (not from any substance, from exhaustion) and apparently he sent me many texts that looked something like"you up? Plz be up" about thirty minutes after I fell asleep.
Houston we have a problem.
Where the heck did he stay? After a quick call to each of his probable locations, which no one answered, I got a call back from Jimmy's phone, he had crashed there for the night. Phewwwww
Anyways, pretty uneventful fun day. Went to the gym with people, played a little soccer, went for a swim, etc. etc.
No class tomorrow =]
Hella Spicy
Friday night was pretty nuts, I’m not really going to go into details, but suffice to say that everyone there was feelin’ good early on in the night and maintained that feeling throughout =]
Yesterday, despite my lack of inebriation, was highlighted by some of the funniest moments college has yet brought about. First, we hit up the goal patrol and were literally ten feet away from Maya Moore!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool to see the national player of the year just immersed in the game as if she were an average college student and not a soon-to-be-if-not-already iconic sports figure lol. Anyways, after UConn lost 3-0 (it was 1-0 going into the 80th minute, lots of blown chances), they had an autograph session with the team!! We got this freshman’s autograph, Greg King, the talented left back hailing from Austrailia, and then went over to get Toni Stahl's autograph. To give you a brief overview of what the scene looked like, it was just Jim McGrath and I amongst all of these 5-10 year old kids getting autographs lmao. Finally, as Toni Stahl neared us not two people away, we hear the cop come up to Toni and all of us and say “Ok guys, Toni needs to get to the locker room now, one more…”
Jim and I cast each other a frightened glance—our worst nightmare was unfolding before our eyes.
We frantically call out “Wait just one more! Please!” There must be a God because Toni kept signing papers, got to us, and then right after he signed both of our posters he hit the locker room. Crisis Averted. The poster is currently hanging up in my room!
Anyways, we hit up carriage (like usual) with Conner, Tim, Jimmy, Steve, Jim, Zoli, etc. We didn’t get there in time for much stuff, so we just used our pregame to carry us through the night. At about 1 a.m. we all headed over to Seargent Peppers for some grub, and upon arrival split up. Jim and I decided that we could use some wings so we headed over to Wings Express. A little background info. on Wings Express—the wings are straight FIRE! Jim and his roommate got 50 wings, flavored “hot” and were under the sink crying for twenty minutes after eating only four lol. It took a little while to find the place because we usually just order them for delivery, and when we were going around to find it, we heard a rustling by the garbage. We looked over and lo and behold a skunk jumps out only 5 feet away from us! Jim and I look at each other and book it as fast as we can out of there haha. We decide to take another route, and finally found it. We headed into Wings Express and find that there are hella arab guys working there. I realized then that that must be the cause of the extreme spicyness. I order 24 mild wings, thinking that mild is a step down from hot. To my temporary dismay, really mild is the lowest on the hierarchy of spicy, going
1) Mild
2) Medium
3) Hot
4) Armageddon
Thinking that the wings are probably wimpy, we open them up. A wave of spice hits us right in the face and we realize that even mildly hot wings are spicier than I can handle. As we are eating at Wings Express, just me and Jim at 1 am, suddenly the Arabs turn on the tv. This does not deter us from eating until we both pause between wings and hear the words “…and the first plane hit the North tower at 9:05 am.” We glance at each other uneasily lol and then silently finish eating and leave.
Earlier in the night we hit up “puke house”, and Tim, Jim, Pat, and I went on the porch in search of beverages. In the process, we met up with Lou Landolfi, who was talking to two girls. We introduced ourselves and exchanged names. The conversation went a little bit like this:
Girl 1: “Hi!! I’m Amanda, what’s your name?”
Me: “Hi! I’m Steve, nice to meet you.”
Girl 2: “Hey!!! Nice to meet you, my names Gina.”
Now, do not be mistaken. Although you may read the name “gee-na”, what she really said was “gye-na”, as in Va-gina lmfao. I asked her what her name was again, thinking I had misheard her, and then hear her introduce herself to Tim. He responds with “What was your name?” at least two more times, and then Jim follows suit. Tim and I just looked at each other after the introductions and started cracking up harder than I have at my whole time at UConn, it was priceless.
Morale of the story: Think before you name your kids.

…Get Fun-Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy Yahhhhhhhhhhhhh
The Internets been down getting it fixed =/ so fewer posts as of late. anywaysssss
Well, a lot has happened in the last couple of days…specifically the first assembling of the goal patrol!!! It was just completely insane, I would say about two thousand students (if not more) all piled outside the east pavilion of Gampel CHOMPING AT THE BIT to cheer on the soccer team! Let me backtrack a little for a second, two of my friends were actually picked to be a part of the collection of people that chest-painted themselves with the letters “G-O-U-C-O-N-N-H-U-S-K-I-E-S-!” (they, who shall remain nameless out of respect, were the ‘G’ and ‘O’). Chills ran down every true-blue husky there as all two thousand people shouted in unison the Husky Cheer (Uconn! Huskies! Uconn! Huskies! Uconn! Huskies! Huskies! Uconn! WOOF!). After that inspiring chant, the masses of goal patrollers followed the lead of the "letters", some of which were running around at the front waving massive white and blue flags. The rest of the game, which we won two-nil vs St. Peters, was spent harassing the opponents team Carlos in every controversial way possible. We went after his Hispanic heritage (“I need someone to mow my lawn!”), questioned his manhood (when he was groveling on the ground in pain at a collision with one of our beast players), and bashed his girly attributes. It was a fuckin’ blast. The only downside is Toni Stahl didn’t play, hes too good for St. Peters. Next Up: # 24 Boston University
Today (Thursday) was hella fun too. Since Jimmy and I joined the Comedy Committee, we got a free t-shirt and helped put on “Subog Presents: Sebastion Manisculo”. Basically, Sebastion came to UConn and did standup for about an hour…the guy was mad funny haha. He had some good original Italian Jokes too, I encourage you to check him out lol. I’m starting a tradition, I will get the dvd/poster/picture of every comedian to come through UConn and have it autographed like I did with Sebastion's dvd today. That way, if they get famous I can say that I met the guy and prove it mwahaha
After that, we attempted to set up the loft for my bed in the room. Heres a picture of the room completely being restructured while trying to fix it.
Note to the reader: This is before we realized that the loft was meant for beds in North and unusable for beds in Northwest. The pegs were too far out!!! So we spent two hours taking the beds apart and moving them around for nothing. Luckily, Jimmy and Zoli and Jim mcgrath showed up and we bunked our beds so now we have a ton more space. Its gonna look great. Edit* It does look great lol
Finally, I just came back from the gym with Jimmy. We worked chest today, benched, dumbbell pressed etc etc. Also did a bitchin ab workout. The real story though is that we ran two 100’s at 12:15 at night. Now you might think…hey that’s really really really easy. However we almost threw up from the working out etc etc lol it was murder. That’s about it, party city tomorrow at carriage street =] ill keep ya posted

Loft- Loft- Loft it upp!
Classes started!! I'm writing this a day late (classes were Monday, today is Tuesday/almost Wed.) so I could take my first impressions and sleep on it. What I have come up with is a couple of things.
-My biology teacher is the fuckin man.
-Class sizes range from 250 kids in Chem and Bio to 20 kids in Calc and English.
-My gaydar is picking up some traces from my Calc teacher, but he might just be a bigtime nerd/weirdo.
-He also seems like a great, understanding, sensitive teacher lol.
-The most boring class is definitely English, those 75 minute classes are killer.
On my way from class to class I had only ten minutes to find where Calculus was held, and I got lost and ended up in some nanomolecular laboratory of sorts lol with like this weird tints of infrared lights (radiation testing?)...the researchers there were like wtf and pointed me in the right direction haha.
Also, with the help of my roomate Pat and my boi Jimmy, we jacked this loft from one of the hallways in North; it was just lying outside someones door lol. We had to carry the frame across both the North and Northwest Quad and sneak it past my R.A. without drawing too much attention lol which was kind of hard to do in bright daylight!! I plan to set it up tomorrow and continue pimpin out my room (its hard; my roomate doesnt like to decorate =[ ).
Tomorrow is the first soccer game vs St. Peters!! Let the goal patrol begin baby!!

Jews + BBQ = Epic Success
Check out this comedian Reese Waters that came to Gampel for a little hip-hop comedy night, I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at a stand-up comedian (excluding Dave Chappelle).
First Day of classes is today (I'm writing this really late at night) and for some reason I am a little nervous. I don't exactly know where my classes are except for the one in the chemistry building lol so I shall have to wing it.
Also, today I attended church at St. Thomas Aquinas, where I hope to grow more in faith. Yeah, sounds lame lol but there was some mint bbq afterwards. Basically, if you haven't visited the UConn campus often, there is this street full of churches and synagogues where campus ministry occurs. Right next to us were the Jews...I gotta say they had a BUMPIN BBQ! It almost made me want to be jewish, they had music blastin' out of the speakers and everyone was having a sick time. They also played this fuckin fire song, it was the beat for Viva La Vida by coldplay with Kanye and Twista rapping over it! Out of this world good lol I need to look it up soon. PCE!
Confidence of a Statue
Uconn has been a blast so far!! Last night was my first college party experiance lol, and it was totally the opposite of what I expected. First, I hit up this subog bloc party that the University throws to get some s.w.a.g. (stuff we all get) lol and made out with a nice bag and some posters of like the football team that will be up on my wall soon. Then we headed up to some apartments on campus to get some stuff and pregamed a little, and headed over to this street full of house parties. It was pandemonium! There was literally about two or three thousand people just walking from party to party and chillin in the roads and whatnot lol. My buddy and I hit up mad parties, yet were dismayed to find that of the eight houses to have parties, all of them were out. We showed up too late, supply was limited and there were boatloads of people, it was still a sick night though. Definitely hitting up that hotspot again very soon!!!
Also, I ran into a weird situation today lol. While walking out of one of the meetings with the dean of the college of liberal arts, I held the door for some people. This polish kid walks up to me and is like "Are you polish?" So I said "Nah Man, Im English."
"Oh, my name is Adrianvoshkowzneiea;lsdkgj"
"What?"
"Adrian Voshkowe;ljag;lds"
"Oh, whatsup Adrian, I'm Steve."
*Shakes Hand*
Adrian: "Are you a senior?"
At this remark I was flattered that he thought I was a senior, but frankly I did question whether he was still drunk because I really don't look anything at all like a 22 year old kid lol. So I said "Nah dude Im a freshman, what makes you think Im a senior?"
Adrian: "You have a presence about you when you walk, you have the confidence of a statue."
I was quite impressed with this compliment lol because comeon that's pretty creative. Im like picturing myself as Paul Fuckin Revere saving the nation or something haha!
I mean, that's fuckin badass. Although the girls I was with thought he was hitting on me haha, I'm stickin with my stance that he was just some weird, slightly creepy foreigner haha, plus my gay-dar is quite reliable.
Btw, my count of girls numbers up to this point: 10

First Day
First Day at Uconn....I have to admit it was pretty damn boss. I met up with some old friends, made a ton of new ones, and chilled with my good friends from NH. I got some really cute girls number that lives right down my hall and she seems really nice, so I am definitely excited about that. Plus, I finally met Tima (my cousin Kathryn's best friend)! She was really nice and she had some decent looking friends so my web is expanding haha, Im gonna go to bed though its really late and Im going for a run tomorrow...HUSKIES!
Also, how about this for some hella bullshit lol, the soccer game vs umass got cancelled...guess ill have to start partying earlier than planned =]

Mike Pezza
My last day in North Haven was pretty chill. Basically (Im the worst nightmare you ever had, etc etc lol) I did a little last minute shopping with the maja and then went to Trisha's barn with Geoff to go see some Newfoundlands, which are basically collossal dogs lol 
lol damn I love those dogs. Also present at the farm were HELLA llamas haha and you know I need to post a pic up because they are so funny-lookin/creepy/vince jakiela-look-a-like-ish.
Anyways, then went to the mall with Jim McG and Matt and did some last minute school shopping. Nothing too big. So excited for tomorrow!!!!
Back to the important thing--Uconn Soccer. Mike Pezza, captain of the team is the real deal!! He led the nation in assists two years ago as a sophomore which is pretty ridiculous. He has lightning speed and vision up the wazoo for real lol he can definitely hang with the outside midfielders on any college team on any given day. Check it out:

Inglorious Basterds
Yesterday was not the best day of summer, in fact it fell far from it. That was the day that I had to put my dog, Snickers, down. I would say that that event falls easily into my top 5 saddest moments list. He had no idea what was going on though lol he was just all abuzz with excitement till the moment his tail stopped wagging, he was always a dumb, happy go lucky mutt haha.
As for the nightlife in my third-to-last night in North Haven, where better to hit up than the movie theatre for some 6 dollar tuesday action! I saw inglorious basterds (which btw is a 142 minute film!) and loved it! Brad Pitt was hilarious as Aldo Raine and whoever was the actor for the "Jew Hunter" was amazing, I'm feeling some sort of Best Actor Award for that role.
Also, coming up in my next post will be an installment in my meet the huskies soccer team section haha: introducing Mike Pezza!
Go Huskies!

Toni Stahl!!!!
I just said goodbye to my cousin Kathryn who's leaving for Syracuse soon =/
She is legit like my favorite cousin (if you're one of my many, many other cousins and you're reading this I was actually lying-YOU are my favorite cousin) so that was hella sad.
On another note, since not a lot happened today I'm going to bring my blog readers up to speed on the legend known as Toni Stahl. This kid is the real deal, and will be mentioned many-a-time here, most likely due to his insane prowess in the game of soccer and the goals that are sure to come this year. He is a dirty defensive center midfielder with a knack for doing everything right. I once saw a Uconn Soccer game in intense cold, it must have been 10 degrees fareinheit or less, and Toni Stahl was the only player on the field wearing a mere short sleeve t-shirt and shorts (the former of which was taken off as a celebration of their victory, hes a psycho). Check him out, he's on the shortlist for the equilavent of the Heisman trophy for college soccer.

Club Tryouts
I'm so excited for Uconn to start in four days! It's such a surreal feeling...I'm not sure what to expect at all which to be perfectly honest makes me a little nervous. This is the first time I'm really going to be on my own, in a couple of senses actually, without Geoff or anyone in my family to rely on. Can I make it at such a big school? Will I adjust to college life? I'll sum it up with the wise words of Drizzy J Rogers "I just wanna be - I just wanna be successfullll".
But enough philosophical thoughts, lets get straight to it
I've decided to try out for the Uconn Men's Club Soccer Team! It was a last minute decision--really I just made it about an hour ago lol, but I'm excited. Time to cram in some training!! Jim's going to try out with me too, moreso with the hopes of meeting Toni Stahl than actually making the team. I think it will be fun--I'm not actually expecting to make it because I am wayyy out of soccer shape and I haven't really touched the ball alot this summer, but it'll be a cool experiance for sure. I will definitely be posting the rigours of tryouts in the days to come. Stay tuned!
