Tick, tick, tick

As much as I'd like to say that I went out for my birthday on Monday night and got obscenely wasted with my friends, I cannot for the sole reason of a place called Meijer Distribution Center. As you all remember from my last post, I did have to work on my birthday, and of course it had to be a long day and I did not get home until about 11 pm. This gave me an hour or so that I was able to enjoy my birthday night, and unlike some people I know, I did not get to go out and enjoy it. A few of my friends and family members have told me that their 21st birthday was not as good as their 20th, for various reasons but I am not able to say that I am one of them. And contrary to popular belief, being 20 years old feels the exact same as being 19. Big shocker, I know.

As the day after my birthday progressed, a good friend of mine who I met at school came to visit me and spend some time. It was truly wonderful, and I'm blessed that she was able to come see me and we went to the movies to see Friends With Benefits and then to Harrison's so she could experience wing night. Friends With Benefits wasn't actually too bad, which surprised me because I saw No Strings Attached with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman (goddess) and this movie had the exact same storyline. It was rather funny, and I like Justin Timberlake both as an actor and as an entertainer. Mila Kunis looked great as well, and yes I'll admit it was pretty nice to see them in bed for essentially half the movie.

All jokes aside, like I said before I appreciate all the birthday wishes and that my friend was able to come spend the day with me. Yesterday was back to reality though, and slaving away at Meijer. The work day wasn't really that bad, as we had a low count and I was spent the majority of my day in dairy, so I was not really rushed too often. But after selection was over, at about 9:25 or so, I was thinking "Oh, man this is great I'm going to get out of here at a great time." Wrong. Last night was the first time I was assigned a group of aisles to clean, both around the outsides and underneath the food compartments. It really sucked, not gonna lie to you. I'd like to think it was the worst because of the aisles I had to clean, which are notoriously known for being the messiest. I didn't get home until about 11 pm, and did nothing but have a bowl of cereal and then pass out from pure exhaustion.

As the days pass, all it feels like is that my life is slowly creeping by me, just like a clock. Tick, tick, tick. All I want is to go back to Columbus, maybe just for a visit. Or just to stay. I didn't think I would miss the city or my university this much but I am. All I do is wake up, dump around, go to work and hate my life, come home, dump around, go to sleep, and do it all over again. It's too damn hot outside to do anything else, and I'm sick of the weather. But hey, August is almost here so that means only about one more month of this working crap.

I don't really have anything else to say and I want to go play NCAA because it's been about three days since I have and I'm suffering withdrawal.

Marketplace: so much closer when its not raining

Alright, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you all on this one: if you don't go to The Ohio State University, or have never visited (and when I say visited I mean stayed over a night and ate with someone during the day) you more than likely will have no idea what in the world I'm going to talk about right now. As for all my fellow Buckeyes who may read this, including the two that I enjoyed a delightful dinner at Marketplace with tonight, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. So needless to say, proceed at your own risk. If you think you'll get bored or annoyed or anything of that nature, here is something else you can do to entertain yourself. Ok, so first off let me start by saying that being a member of North Campus has both its positives and negatives, much like every other living place on campus. The positives are (from the way I see them) as follows: close to essentially all the main buildings where classes are, close to High St. and Lane Ave., ...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
