The High School Days

My friends and I used to do some great stuff when we were younger. We need to bring back the days of the Riceminers. I've started putting the old videos up on YouTube and Riceminers.com still gets close to 100 hits a day... so I think I should start putting up new content again. I've been saying that for a while but it's been hard motivating people. So I might just go ahead with it on my own and see who joins in. Josh, Steve, Bobby, Nick, Shane, Chris, Justin, Kevin, and everyone else who used to be involved in some way... if you have any interest, let me know.
Here's "The Dream". It was put together using an old school camcorder, two vcr's, and a karaoke machine back in 2001.

Another Year Over

2006 was quite the interesting year. I never could have imagined that half the things that have happened would have, and I don't regret a single thing. Everything happens for a reason, both the good and the bad. I feel like I'm a totally different person than I was one year ago today. Looking back I feel like I've added an awful lot to my resume of life. I'd say the top three events of the year that I'll always remember and that I'm very proud of would be:
Some other memorable events:
- New Years '06
- The Road Trip To Cooperstown
- My 22nd Birthday
- Greece Planning
- The St. Patrick's Day Parade
- The News Channel 8 Appearance
- The New Car
- The NYC Helicopter Ride
- The Gala at the Cipriani
- The Bodies Exhibition/Yankees Game trip to NYC
- Illegal Convos, Hybrid Tactics, and ripped jeans
- Buying my Kayak
- Tent Spinning at Black Rock State Park
- Steph's Fall
- Stonebridge
- Newport with Steph and Patti
- The timeless weekend in the Berkshires
- Seeing Ringo Starr in concert
- Mashed potato bowls on Sunday mornings
- Finally obtaining my digital rebel
- Sadie the kitten
- Ecce Cor Meum at Carnegie Hall
- Kayaking in Black Rock Harbor
- Serendipity with Justin, Steph, and our Irish friends Richie and Tom
- The sad end to the year
I have very big hopes and plans for 2007. I expect it to be very different than '06, but hopefully much better. 2006 was very eventful for me but also very turbulent. I'm hoping for some more stability in the future. I'm more clear about who I am and where I want to be, and what my goals are for the future now, so I'm looking forward with a lot of optimism.
Thanks to everyone who made 2006 an unforgettable year!

Thinking About Ireland...

The night in Limerick this past September has become more and more interesting as time has past.
Memories of broken shot glasses, mead, churches, Scissor Sisters, and Irish dances keep coming almost on a daily basis...
And Mary Hayes' late night cooking.. and the breakfast we had the following morning! What a nice lady.

Surge

I think Justin is drinking a Surge here. We used to love that stuff. Somewhere in CT is a tape Justin and I made with some friends back in the late 90's of our own Surge commercial. I've been trying hard to find it for years but with no luck. We really did some strange stuff back then. I was wondering what happened to Surge and I came across SaveSurge.org. I guess Coke stopped making it in 2002 but introduced a similar soda called Vault in 2005. Why do I care? I don't. I'm bored at work and this is what happens.

Something I Wrote At Age 10

The following are a series of journal entries that my brother Justin and I wrote when we were 10. I recently found it in my old bedroom, and thought it was pretty funny so I decided to share it. It's kind of embarrassing... but I was only 10 so thats okay. SH stands for something I wrote and JH stands for something justin wrote.
Nov. 13th, 1994
SH: Hi! This is my first time writing in a journal, so this is going to be hard. Today not much happened to me. I mostly went shopping with my mother. STOP!!! I'm going to write in print now because I could write neater this way. Now where was I? First, I went to AMAZING. The store is closing in a few days and everything there was supposed to be cheap. It was! I got a bunch of neat things there. Next I went to Service Merchandise. I got to play a bunch of cool video games there. When I was done playing them, I looked for more stuff on display. Then I saw the most glorious thing on earth... the Secret Sender 6000! I couldn't believe my eyes. For the first time in my life I actually got to use it. It was totally awesome. It was already my top thing on my Christmas list. But now I want it more than anything. I kept on playing it and playing it but when I turned around my Mom was gone. I looked a little and luckily I found her. We left and went to a bakery shop. Then I got a hot dog at Dutchess. As we were waiting to get our food, we watched them cook it. It really made me feel sick when I saw the lady pick up the hod dogs with her bare hands after she just coughed on them. When I got home I did my homework for over the weekend. Kevin, my little brother, was told he could sleep upstairs with us tonight. Right now it is about 10:00 PM. And we are having a lot of fun... very quietly! Well I'm done writing in my journal for now. I guess writing in my journal isn't too hard at all.
