Ya wanna know about my Spring Break? No, well tough, I'm gonna tell you anyway... During my break "the storm of the century" hit... did you ever notice we seem to have a "storm of the century" about once every two or three years? But I digress. I was snowed in for 3 days of my break... it sucked shit. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything... I had to break my diet for entertainment... and I didn't just kinda break it... I destroyed it. I wound up gaining 10 lbs. back... geh... oh well, I'm back in Penn State, and back on track with my diet. Then Calliander refused to take me to see the demon queen to flaunt my thinnitude...

Don't get me wrong though... there was some pretty cool shit going on. I got to see my homies. I got to eat pizza again. Got to see the parents again. but best of all, all of my friends were able to hang out together with no major beefs... and in the end, that far outweighs ways my boredom, my weight gain, or my want for revenge.

Hey all... Look, I wanna break something to the crew. For me, and a lot of people on this board, this upcoming one will be the last summer vacation we ever have. I will be attending Penn State next summer to make up an extra semester, and after that I have to get a good job to help pay my financial aid. I was talking about this with Stone the other night and we came up with a conclusion.

What I propose is that we propose one group activity that we've always wanted to do, and garaunteed this summer we will do it. For instance... I would like to go camping, or maybe a group trip to the medieval fair. What would you guys like to do. Maybe you'd like to have a big old picnic, or maybe go out on one of those huge bluefishing boats in Mystic. Maybe you'd like to have a big old softball game? Who knows. But what I do know is that this summer is my last. I want to make it count for something. I want to have stories to tell my grandkids... don't you?

I enjoy the new site, alot... It has pazazz. However I liked the centered version much better than this left justified bullshit... that's just my opinion.

Hey folks...
First off I want to thank you all, especially Gatekeeper, for the wonerful words of encouragement I've received from all of you in my choice to pursue the Atkins' diet. It's starting to really work, I'm noticing loose skin on my body and loose clothing... unfortunately I've yet to find a scale manly enough to measure my heft up here (i'm well over 300 lbs.) so i can't tell exactly how much weight I'm losing, but I can tell that I am, and I guess that makes all the difference.

The cravings are getting less and less too... but I still get them. So I was thinking that a good way of getting rid of them, is by writing them down here.

1.) Sprite - This is my signature drink, and I honestly think I was addicted to it seeing as how this is the one thing I crave the most.

2.) Ben & Jerry's - Jerry's Jubilee - this brownie and cherry ice cream is like an orgasm and my birthday rolled into one.

3.) Jesus Juice - This variety of Gatorade (also known as anything with "fierce" on the bottle)is good, but it's not so much the flavor i miss as much as the experience of getting the craving for it at midnight, then walking down to the local Uni-Mart to get some.

4.) Cherry Pie Filling - This is not something I normally eat, but today at work, I saw a GINORMOUS container of it, and all I wanted to do was sit down with a spoon and eat the fuck out of it.

5.) D.P. Dough - These fast food calzones are fantastic, and they deliver.

6.) Pizza of any kind - I used to eat pizza 3-4 times a week... this has been a major life change.

That's it really... No other cravings.

Well folks... I'm a week into the Atkin's diet, and things are pretty cool. I get all the meat I can eat... steak, bacon, pork... it's great. But one fault I can find with the diet is these cravings I get. Right now I'd fellate someone for a sprite, but I can't because sugar is a carbohydrate. It's especially shitty because I work in a dorm cafeteria where I am surrounded by carb rich foods on every side. I was working in the dish room the other night watching a peice of chocolate cake go down the garbage disposal saying "Damn that looks tasty"... I WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING EATING A WET PEICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE THAT SOMEONE THREW AWAY!!! But I held my will power, and did not eat the cake. As long as I take this one day at a time... I should be fine.. but goddamn, what I wouldn't do for a chicken parm sub with a large pizza on the side.

Plus add to all this test of my willpower, all my asshole friends and roommates going, "That can't be healthy." or, "I don't see how you can lose any weight on that", or "Even if you do lose weight, you'll just gain it back". I love my friends dearly, but for once I wish they'd just butt out. Do they have medical degrees... no... Have they even read the the Atkins book... no... Do they understand what it is to be a fat man in today's society... no... What they don't see is that even if I do eventually gain the weight back, even if the diet makes me sick, even if this diet kills me, I don't care. What they don't see is that I'd sell my soul for their worst day as a thin person. I have been overweight all of my life... I'm done.

Alas... the break is over... good times, bad times... but all in all, I'm glad I went back. It was fun for the most part it was fun. The dinner we all had was fun, I got to play many role playing games and life was good. I spent the first part of the break living the life of a junior Keith Richards, smoking much chiba and boozing it up like no one's business. One night I decided to kill a bottle of wine just cause it was there. It was all this insane revelry that led to a seizure. Not necessarily bad... but a sign that I should fucking slow down. And of course who can forget the Egg Nog Challenge... Where I showed that pussy Caniprokis what was up. What a vagina. Anyhoo I was the champion, and it was a good way to end my vacation. I had a great time and I want you all to know that I love and miss all of you.

HEY HEY FOLKS!!!

First off let's stop the playa hatin'...

Second off... I have more details on the Megakegger. It appears it will be a small occasion with tops 20 people over. The beer on tap will be Rolling Rock, anything else is byob. Keys will be taken at the door. If you're sober at the end of the night you can have them back, otherwise you can crash in the filth hole or find a ride home (should you want to bring a designated driver you may). We have bedding here, but if you don't trust my bedding you're welcome to bring your own. We're gonna have about four pizzas to eat. The date again is Friday the 29th, this upcoming friday. The festivities should start around 6, and will go on well into the next morning. Hope to see you all there. oh yeah, Gatekeeper, should you get done over at your sisters, you're welcome to drop by things should be kickin' till at least 4 am.

Fuck you all.

Fuck you all in the ass with a spiny metal dildo.

That being said I'd like to say one thing... after years of not having a significant other and whining about it to no end... I've finally managed to be happy by myself. Now this is not a constant thing... I need to work at staying happy. But for the most part... I deal.

But that ain't always easy... especially when EVERY asshole you see is constantly rubbing in your face how in love they are. Now this explosion isn't necessarily aimed at Caniprokis (even though that is what set me off), no it's aimed at a society that says "NO, YOU MUST HAVE A GIRL/BOY FRIEND TO BE COMPLETE". It's everywhere... in every song put out... every movie ever made. It's the great American lie... "there's someone for everyone" FUCK YOU!!! We raise our poor little children with this fucking fairy tale that some day they will meet the right one, when the sad reality is that there are just some people who there is no one for.

Fuck love, and fuck everyone in love.

Oh my dear Gatekeeper... you need to learn how to keep that infamous temper in check. How can you keep any gates if you keep flying off the handle like that. Jiminy, arcee's a newby... you've gone too far a few times, but do we snap back, no clearly not. So what if arcee's a fem-nazi womyn... you're masoginist douche bag... it all equals out. And so what if she's complaining about people's bitching. It's just as much her right to bitch about that, as it is for you to bitch about her rant, or for me to bitch about yours... human. As I recall it was you as a newby here that said that MC needed to stop bitching about her life... human. In summation... you need to stop taking everything as an offense to your manhood... that may be what led everyone to believe MT's lies...

LIOCONVOY!!!

Hey folks, this is LioConvoy longtime reader, seldom times poster. Now, I realize the majority of people reading this don't know me or many of Pappy's Connecticut friends. For those that this applies to feel free to disregard this rant, it will make no sense to you. I was recently taking stock of how shitty my life is at school right now, however this time is different. In years past when this would happen I could always console myself by the fact that all my friends would be back at home when I got there. This is no longer the case. The denizens of the Filth Hole have split, and that isn't good.

I established the Filth Hole (Our basement hangout spot in Connecticut) in the fall of 1997. It was a dismal time for me. I had grown up a spoiled brat who's Daddy had made lots of money as a corporate attorney. However when Daddy's main client got sent up the river, so did 90% of our family's income. My entire life was unfolding on me and a time of great change was at hand. I had an out from this, though.

I started having my friends come over for extended weekends, where we would hang out, do geek shit, and just have a great time. It was easy back then, everyone was cool with eachother. It was this time hanging out with my friends and enjoying their company that allowed me an escape from my problems, and it served me well. With a little help from my friends, i got through a rough spot in my life.

Time went on and various feuds happened. So-and-So doesn't like person "A". John Doe is going out with John Smith's ex-girlfriend. Standard teenage bullshit. The unity that we had as kids cracked and splintered as most relationships do, but we still had the basic friendship.

Last month these petty squabbles erupted into an all out war. Words were said between friends who've been closer than brothers that can never be taken back. It seems almost as if the happy go lucky days of the Filth Hole are officially dead.

I'm not coming home this Thanksgiving. And I'm almost glad. If I don't have a Filth Hole to return to, I have nothing. When I'm home I'm going to have to plan my days like "Ok, Well, this person can come over today, because this person isn't going to be here. Then tommorrow I can hang out with that person." I find that disgusting.

When I come home in December, I will be exhausted. If I pass all of my classes it will be by the skin of my teeth. Celebration will be in order. I am going to throw a MEGA-KEGGER. EVERYONE is invited. If you want to come I plead with you (Hell even you, Boof) to come down, chill the fuck out and get fuckin' RIPPED! If you are going to be childish enough to let stupid shit keep you from coming, my condolensces you just missed out on a phat time. I'm not asking people to make up and pretend they like eachother, I'm just asking you to come out and join me, your friend, in celebration for a semester that nearly killed me. Thank you.
