Yes yes, I've moved back and forth between blogs, but I think that this is going to be the home of my blog posts for some time. I'm going to post quite a bit here coming up because there'll be a lot happening and enough free time to write about it. Read and leave comments!

Autoshow!
This past weekend went pretty well. A couple highlights from the time are the movie and the Detroit International Auto Show. I went to go see Stomp the Yard, which was actually a pretty good movie. The big part of the weekend was yesterday though. Adam and I went to the Detroit Auto Show to see what they had to show. There were some pretty sweet cars and trucks there, but the best part was that Adam and I were in the BMW VIP lounge most of the day getting free things to drink and a bit of free food. We got to overlook everyone while we chilled up there. Surprisingly, the couches and chairs were actually really comfortable.
Today isn't so exciting though. I have to do some Machine Design homework, do my house chore, and go to the meeting with my brothers. The meeting shouldn't be too bad, but the chores and homework sucks. So because of all of that, I'm getting out of here. Have a happy Martin Luther King Day!
I know it has been a month since I last posted, but it has been one crazy month. Being home for Christmas was awesome. I got to spend a lot of time with family and friends. Hanging out with JJ and Donnie was an absolute blast. Hopefully they can get their asses up to michigan to come hang out.
Amsterdam was an absolutely wild 8 days. Sweers, Shane, Corey, Marcin and I had the time of our lives over there. I posted up over 100 pictures on my facebook photo album (like on the right) if you want to check it out. I definitely recommend that place if you want to have a ton of fun. I'm not going to post any stories here because they just wouldn't do the trip justice. I'll tell some of them to some of you if you want. Here are a few pictures of the trip and a video from some random person of the New Years party we were at.
Here's a video of the crazy ass new years party...and it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how crazy it was there.
This is just scratching the surface. There were about 30,000 or more people packed in just the square, the rain was pouring, the music was soo loud that you could feel the bass from a mile away...it was just freaking amazing! Everyone was just bouncing up and down listening to the music not caring at all about the rain. There were fireworks going off all over the place. It was an unbelievable experience! I wish I could get some better videos of it. We were way up by the stage where it was even more crazy than where that video is taken from.
Anywho, outside of the best 8 days I've had in college, I've made my way back to Flint for school. Classes this semester are a joke. I'm taking marketing, management, accounting, computer aided engineering, and machine design. I've had a blast so far though. Adam is back at school, we have a huge pledge class full of awesome guys, and Hannah and her friends have been over hanging out. Just a great start to a term so far.
The detroit auto show is this weekend and next, so I'm going to head down to that. I'll definitely post up some pictures from that in the next week or so.
I'm heading out to go have some fun...I'll be updating more now that I'm back at school with easy classes.
Right now I'm a student at Kettering University in Michigan. I'm a member of the best fraternity ever: Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI). The guys are awesome. I recently started working at a company called Spectranetics out of Colorado Springs, CO. It's a pretty interesting job actually. We design and build medical lasers for ablating (removing) clots in arteries. As for school, I'll actually be spending 3 months taking classes in Konstanz, Germany in April of '07. Europe with a bunch of good friends for three months!! What could be better? If you feel like talking or what not, hit me up on aim...username is LucidCoercion. I'm not gonna post my msn SN on here, so message me if you want it.
