4:16 am - RUDIE'S BIRTHDAY BASH

RUDIE'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!

Saturday July 7th
8 PM

Location: The Batcave/our house
2308 Rohs St #2
Cinci, OH 45219

NEW LOCATION: Hannah's place
Athens, OH



It's that time of year again. Rudie/Mike is turning another year older, and we'll all have a good time celebrating it. We'll have some beer and food, and you're more than welcome to bring some too.

You don't need to bring gifts, but if you insist, we'll have a tattoo collection going again for Rudie's back piece.

NOTE: I can provide a limited amount of transportation to the party if so needed/desired. I have a station wagon with 5 free seats (as of the moment of this writing). First come first served.

. : 2 songs heard : : play your tune : .

3:20 am - for you
To me, this song represents the willingness to grow up and accept responsibility, because those are two of the things needed to be able to marry someone. Love is a chief ingredient, but to be able to follow through on the promises made in wedding vows, one needs to be able to shed their childish desires (to a certain extent) and shoulder the burden that you are no longer the only one that depends on you. And that is manyfold over once children enter the picture.

In short, to me this song represents a sort of wedding vow, and a promise (especially coupled with another song) that he'll marry this girl, because they're fated to be together. She shouldn't worry about the troubles she's having now because he's going to take care of her soon. That's what this song means to me. And about how I feel about someone.

What does it mean to you? (if you don't know it, you should get it. It's on Social Distortion's album, Sex, Love & Rock 'n' Roll

Social Distortion - Angels' Wings (acoustic version)

You say you're down on your luck
Hey baby it's a long long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
You say you're really down and out
And you feel like there's no way out now
Let go now, let go your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself
Is this the hand of fate now that I've been dealt
You're so disillusioned, this can't be real
And you can't stand now the way you feel
I don't care about what they say
I won't live or die that way
Tired of figurin' out things on my own
Angel's wings won't you carry me home?

And when you're down on your luck
Hey baby it's a long long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
And when you're really down and out
And you feel like there's now way out now
Let go now, let go your tears some more

I triumphed in the face of adversity
And I became the man I never thought I'd be
And now my biggest challenge: a thing called love
I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was
I don't care about what they say
I'm gonna marry you someday
Go ahead and wake up, it's a brand new day
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angel's wings gonna carry me away
Angel's wings gonna carry us

And when you're down on your luck
Hey baby it's a long long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
And when you're really down and out
And you feel like there's now way out now
Let go now, let go your tears some more
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angel's wings gonna carry me away
Angel's wings gonna carry us away

3:57 pm - FLASH PROGRAMMING JOB

FLASH PROGRAMMING JOB

My department is looking for a student worker to help build Flash and Flash Communication projects.

Potential candidates would ideally have a knowledge of some sort of programming (Java, JS, C++, Perl, etc) as the job consists mainly of programming in ActionScript*. An object-oriented mindset is a big plus.

Pay starts at $8.50/hr with potential for raises**

To apply, email a copy of your resume to michael.lively@uc.edu.

*ActionScript was originally based on JavaScript
**note: raises are only allotted quarterly


on a personal note: If it will help you decide if you want the job, this is my take on the job so far )

9:54 pm - NOTICE TO PEOPLE WHO COME TO PARTIES AT THE BATCAVE
OK, the boys and I have decided to take what we thought was a general understanding, and make it an official rule. Guys, we shouldn't have to say this, but from now on, if you make a mess at our house, please be so kind as to clean it up.

This doesn't necessarily apply to dishes you dirty if you are cooking for us or for the whole group. This does apply if you cook for yourself, if you vomit somewhere, spill a drink, etc. Some of you guys are already very good about this. Some of you are not.

I know that our house is already dirty, but you don't need to make it worse. It's a huge project every time we do clean our house, and we dirty it back up fast enough by ourselves. So please, do us this favor. I know that I have always tried to help clean up whatever mess I make at other people's houses, we'd all appreciate it if you did the same for us.

Thank you.

[edit]Almost forgot: if this doesn't start to happen by the next party, we will stop having parties. Especially if I ever step in someone else's vomit again. Sorry, but them's the breaks.[/edit]

5:43 pm - SUSHI & SAKE PARTY!!
Here's the deal guys. Every month, we are going to host a dinner party at our house. February's dinner party was Gumbo Night with Chef Lew. March is almost here, and March is my month. I will be inviting a professional sushi chef to come prepare the sashimi for the party. Since I know some of you are vegetarian (and I'm sure a lot of you are scared to try sushi, as I was) I will be preparing several alternate dishes that you can have.

Just as last month, you need to RSVP so that we can know how much to prepare. Since we will have multiple dishes this month, please let us know in which dishes you will be interested. Until the menu is finalized, there is obviously no need to RSVP. I should have the menu planned by this weekend. In the meantime, please make sure that you will have the night of the party free. I will be passing out invitations by hand, phone, aim and email this weekend. Here's the info that will be on them:


SUSHI & SAKE PARTY
宴席
すしさけえんせき

DATE: SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 2005
LOCATION: 2308 Rohs Street, Apt 2
TIME: after 8:00 PM

Food and sake will be provided. Please feel free to bring your own beer or liquor.*

Dress or dress-casual attire is preferred, but by no means required.

Please RSVP with number of people you will be bringing and the preference of menu item:

[menu items will be listed here]

Thank you.

By the way, several people have asked me to encourage everyone to bring as many of their single friends as they can! ("several people" includes, but is not limited to: other chefs, some possible guests, and the sushi guest-chef)

* If you want to remain consistent with the theme of the meal, you are encouraged to purchase Japanese beer, wine or liqour. Most liquor stores sell Sake and Plum Wine, but you will have to go to a specialty store for the beer (and no, CAM does not sell alcohol)

Someone please add this to the archive of stupid )

I think I shall post this in numerous visible places around the dorm.

ps. these are two good songs... very cool. I know you all think I preach anti-rap, but I only preach anti-crap-rap. I happen to like it if it's quality/good or unique. This is both very unique and also pretty good.
