So I graduated.
First off, here's the video of me getting my diploma.

As you may have noticed, I wait a while at the top of the ramp, this is because I was waiting to shake the hand of Gorden Gee, of noted fame. But I figured I couldn't wait forever, so I left without shaking his hand.
But then, when the faculty all walked down the aisle out of the building, Gordon Gee was walking in front, and since I was sitting in the front row of a section, I thought that I would shoot him the old thumbs up, and then he'd give me back a thumbs up. So I wait til he's walking near me, and I look up at him, and I swear, exactly as I start to move my hand up, his started, and we both gave each other a thumbs up at the same time. It was amazing. |

So, HSLT is over and done with, and was pretty good. I was leading a room of sophomore guys down there, and somehow it seemed I was able to start a grease fire at every meal I cooked, which was all of them.
Thus I earned the nickname Alan "Grease Fire" Files. |

So the other day Carl and I invented a pretty sweet game. It's called "Mind Battleship" and it's exactly how it sounds, we set up 4x4 grids in our heads, and place ships on the grids. We started with just a 2 space ship, then switched it up with a 2 and a 1. Then you just guess spots on the other persons mindgrid and hope to sink their battleships...
so today, Mark Harris and I were playing it, and I explained the rules, then we took a little time to think where to put our ships (we were just playing with one 2 space ship) and the guessing went a little something like this:
Alan: B2?
Mark: Miss, oh man, I was going to guess B2, I bet our ships are in the same spot, but now I can't guess that spot, because then you'll know where my ship is... B3?
Alan: Miss, C3?
Mark: oh.... hit. C3?
Alan: Hit. D3?
Mark: Hit and sunk, was your other one on D3.
Alan: Yes, it was. |

Carl Colna is my good friend, this is his story:
discgolfer6: ok, this is really creepy. I have this myspace thing, and this person Alan sent me a message that said something about "nice profile, we should chat sometime", and I thought it was you, so I replied by saying "yes, we should get together sometime. I have a feeling we can be very good friends. Not best friends though" and sent it
discgolfer6: Then I was looking at his profile or whatever on his myspace, and I was thinking you formed this entirely different life where you were a customer service manager at wal mart, b/c he talks about that alot, and then there were alot of things that just didn't seem like your style to say, joking or not. And then there were a lot of gay things saying stuff about wanting to meet that perfect guy. And now I'm scared. |

So I was going through all the things on my computer, and I came across a bunch of old files, and I just thought I'd share a little taste. Something I like to call, the Communistie Boys.

Okay, so the other day, I was driving along with one Andrew Sharp. We were both wearing business suits, and going to a business man's lunch at Ted's Montana Grill, so clearly, we were fiercly pro American business men. And we were driving along in Andrew Sharp's Reatta, but we would have been perfectly happy in the Rivera, so we were also Buick Loving business men. And as we pulled up to a stop light, a kid pulls up in his car, and starts reving his engine. Well, when the light turned green, we showed him that we were also very fast business men. We ate our lunch at Ted's, being bison eating business men, and then we drove back to my house, and hit 100,000 miles in the Reatta, and felt like very accomplished business men. |

So today I played some frisbee with Josh Botti, and some dudes. We get together and play a couple of times a week, it's fun...
But today, was WAR PAINT WEDNESDAY. Everyone had on war paint while we played all day, some people had it just on the face, some had random lines all over, but some... some dared to have war paint fierce enough to scare away tornados.

So today was really sweet. I woke up, then Swood taught me how to ride his motorcycle, but I kind of sucked, so I just went back and forth in straight lines. But it still rocked. I just never got to turning.
Then Swood and I went to his house and set up a bunch of dominoes in really sweet ways, and pushed them over, then call his brother kyle, and then we all enjoyed the dominoes.
Then Francine called us, and Swood and I went with her to the hospital, cause there were these baby kittens down there, and Francine's mom wanted her to take one home. So they got a new pet, and then Swood, Francine, and I all went to PetsMart and then hung out with it for a while. Cause it's really cute. Now, I know that you guys, my LJ audience, know that I am a pretty manly man, so for me to say something's cute, means it's really cute. |

So, the other day, I was hanging out with Brian Burke, and we were bored. And it was dinner time... we put bored and dinner time together, and we got the great idea to visit Francine at Max & Erma's. But a large group of us had visited her just the night before. So, we decided to disguise ourselves and go. I wore a kakhi trenchcoat with a great business man disguising hat. So I looked like a businessman. Brian put on my huge baggy yellow pants, a black shirt, and my yellow and black Skyline visor. So he was like... a skyline rapper, or something. And we went and got a table in Francine's section. And we sat down, and she was all like "Hi! I'm Francine! I'll! Be! Your! Server!" Then we didn't say anything, and she got all confused, then we removed our hats to uncover who we really were! And it was exciting. She called us "dorks", but I'm pretty sure she meant "really cool disguise dudes".
Also, the lady at the table next to us was there with her little daughter, and they had seen us come in, and the little daughter mentioned how we looked like we were disguised. |
