<div style="clear:both;"></div>I went to Target tonight because I lost my nail clippers and my toes are tearing up my <a href="https://www.pointsincase.com/columns/mike/2-23-05.htm">Beech cotton sheets</a>. Nothing big. Except that affordable clippers are sold in the makeup section.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div><ul><li>Andy Milonakis is 112 years old. It's on the Internet so it must be true.<br />Seriously. Look it up.<br />He's even older than Nate.<br /> </li><li>I hate commercials where they make babies talk. They're creepy.<br /></li><li>I can't find my nail clippers. My toenails are so fucking long.
<div style="clear:both;"></div>I may have gotten my first "real" job, but it hasn't made me a millioniare yet. You cut corners here you can, and for me, that means I still eat a lot of Ramen noodles.<br /><br />400 calories at 20 cents a pop. It's far from the healthiest thing, but it will keep you alive.
<p>It bothers me when things are labeled "100% all natural" like it's anything special.<br /><br />I recognize that I am not a scientist, I don't even watch the SciFi network. I really can't claim to know anything about anything when it comes to the sceintific.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div>Ringing phones used to really bother me. Anytime a phone was ringing anywhere it would drive me crazy until someone answered it.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div>Why is it that I feel so proud of myself if I can put together a full sentence when talking to my boss without sounding like an idiot?<br /><br />I'm a reasonably smart guy. I graduated from a Big 10 university. I'm an English major for pete's sake. But whenever I sit down for a meeting with him I feel like I sound like an idiot or blather and fumble for words.
<div style="clear:both;"></div>Never buy any other flavor of powered drink mix except lemonade.<br /><br />I tell myself this every time I go to the grocery store. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Kool-Aid brand or some knock off like Flavor-Ade, Aid de cool, Country time or government drink mix.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div>For some reason, I'm in watching TV on a Friday night and I started thinking about my TV habits. Thought I'd share.<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Things I will watch:</strong><br />Every single fucking <em>Friends</em> rerun that is ever on.<br /><em>Law & Order:SVU.</em> I love losing faith in humanity hour by hour.
<div style="clear:both;"></div><em>Note: this was supposed to be posted on Tuesday July 5th. Stupid airport pay wireless.</em><br /><br />I’m on my way home from…home. After a long weekend in the city that will always in someway be home, East Lansing, I’m sitting in the Detroit Northwest terminal waiting for my connection to St. Louis, my new home for the next year.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div>Just so everyone knows: Nate DeGraaf spells his name:<br /><br />NAAAAITE DEEE GRAAAAAPHHH<br /><br />This is much funnier if you knew how long it took me to typle this.<br />Yes that was intentionsal.<br />damn,<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div>
<p>My good buddy, Nate DeGraaaf wanted to know why I haven't been posting on my blog. I told him I was busy. but the truth is that I've just been being a whiny little bitch.<br />
<div style="clear:both;"></div>Well , its official. Tomorrow will be my last day here in East Lansing. Tomorrow I rent the truck and throw everything I own in the back of a U-Haul. By Tuesday morning, I'll be on the road to my next step in the journey that is my life.
