Waiting for 2009...

Because if you remember This?

Biggest Comeback of 2008

Chunk's Thoughts (Me coming back to the blogging world)

Biggest Victory of 2008

Second Biggest Victory... or Biggest Victories

Biggest Hype That Ended In Major Success

Biggest Hype of 2008 That Ended in Failure

This team was suppose to go all the way. All Cubs fans believed that this was the year... more so than other years. It's all you would hear. We were excited! Oh, it was gonna be awesome to witness it! The Cubs had an awesome season that was for sure to lead them to the World Series and end the 100 year drought... but no! The playoffs come and once again we are swept in the NLDS. So much hype going into the season... then into the playoffs and boom... failure.

Looking Back on 2008

For the next couple of days I'm gonna start looking back on some of the bigger moments of 2008... such as the stuff I cared about.

Stuff such as...

Best Trip of 2008:

The Ingalls' Family Cruise to the Bahamas

After Christmas...

So about 10 years ago I could relate to this. Anybody else feel the same way?

Merry Christmas

I know it's kind of late on Christmas night, but I wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a good day. Also, thanks to those who actually voted on my polls.

I was gonna post on "Christmas Lights", but I think it's a little late for that now... well actually, maybe I'll post something about that tomorrow, if I'm still in a Christmas mood.

Wow, this is probably the first year that I didn't watch a single Christmas episode of Boy Meets World... but then again, this is probably the first full year that I never watch any episode of Boy Meets World, period. Is that show even on anymore? Also, this was the first time that I never even thought about the SNL "I wish it were Christmas today song". I mean, usually during the Christmas season, I am singing all about that song and I just remembered about it today. I guess you can call that a good thing.

So once again I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas. If you need help, click Here.

Festivus

Happy Festivus For the Rest of Us!!

I'm thinking Steak'n Shake was a bad choice

because i'm feeling sick now.

Lights Please...

That's probably my favorite part.

I Hate the Colts!

Let me put this into perspective...

I hate the Colts so much, that I'm actually a Patriots fan!

I guess to me, Colts fans are just like Notre Dame fans... ANNOYING!

My name is Jeremy aka Chunk and I hate the Colts and the Irish!

Good day.

I have some ideas for some Polls...

Favorite Christmas Comedy(based on the fact that my favorites were all comedies)

Favorite Animated Christmas Movie

Christmas Movie Number 1: A Christmas Story

Well this is it, the number one movie on my list. To tell you the truth, A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation are kind of tied for my favorite Christmas movie. I just gave the slight nod to A Christmas Story, because it's one of the only movie I know that gets it's own 24 hour marathon on TV. So is that a good reason for making it my favorite? No, but to be honest with you, I can sit down on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and watch this movie three or four times. That's something I can't do with the others on my list.

A list of reasons why I love this movie:
-"I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air riffle... ooooh"
-"You'll shoot your eye out!"
-Dressing up for school was like preparing yourself for extended deep sea diving. "I can't put my arms down!"
-Flick sticking his tongue tot he flag pole. "I triple dog dare you!"
-Scut Farkus and his yellow eyes.. "So help me God, yellow eyes"
-the Bumpuses's smelly hound dogs
-"Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf, I hate meatloaf."
-Fra-gee-lay
-the leg lamp, "There was only one thing that could keep me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window."
-OH FUDGE!!! -"the F dash dash dash word"
-soap poisoning
-"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
-Ralphie beating up Scut Farkus
-"Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie"
-Meeting Santa - "AHHHH" "OK, get him out of here!" "I like the Wizard of Oz."
-the pink bunny suit, - "He looks like a deranged Easter bunny." "He looks like a pink nightmare"
-"Oh my gosh, I shot my eye out!"
-"An icicle fell from the garage... They bought it."
-The Bumpuses's dogs eat the turkey, "SONS OF BITCHES! BUMPUSES!"
-Eating at the Chinese Restaurant, "Fa, ra, ra, ra, ra"

The "Flag Pole" scene.

College Bound

That's right, school could be in my plans for next fall.

Ideas of where to go and what to study have been flowing through my head. Lets just hope that I make the right decision.

I'll be sure to keep you informed throughout my decision process.

Christmas Movie Number 2: Christmas Vacation

Why I picked it: Well, Christmas Vacation is such a classic comedy. It's got enormous family Christmas trees, a house covered in lights, Cousin Eddie, extreme sledding, electrocuted cats, squirrels jumping out of trees, exploding turkeys, a plastic Santa and reindeer flying through the sky, and much more.

Every year there are a few Christmas movies that me and my family just sit and watch together and this is one of them.(Christmas Movie Number 1 being the other). I come from a family that loves "Vacation" movies. We probably quote those movies more so than any other movie. We will quote lines from Christmas Vacation, whether it is Christmas time or not. If you know me, then you know that I quote lines from movies all the time. If you pay attention, you will probably catch a few from this movie.

Haha... Cousin Eddie is pretty funny in this movie. Haha... It's such a funny movie! You are probably waiting for me to throw in some quotes from this movie, but I'm not gonna. It's more fun to do it in person. So if you wanna discuss this movie, you know where to find me.

I clip from the movie(I couldn't find much, but this will do. Enjoy)

Fried pussy cat...

Chrismas Movie Number 3: Elf

Why I picked it: First off, I'm a big Will Ferrell fan. From SNL to movies, Will Ferrell has always made me laugh. He makes everyone laugh. Now if any of you are familar with Mr. Ferrell, then you probably already know that he really gets into his roles. He has a lot of fun playing his roles in different sketches and movies and Elf is no exception.

They really couldn't have picked a better actor to play Buddy the elf and it's nice to see Will Ferrell in a family comedy. Buddy shows us the true meaning of Christmas spirit(well not the true, true meaning) but, he does spread holiday cheer.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

That's what he does. He travels all the way from the North Pole, through the Forest of candy canes and through the Lincoln Tunnel, to find his real father, who happens to need a little boost on his Christmas Spirit. He also falls in love with a store elf and spreads some Christmas spirit to her as well.

He also teaches us about the four basic food groups, which are:
Candy
Candy Canes
Candy Corns
Syrup

There is so much more that I can say about this movie. It truly is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Even my grandma likes it.

Here is one of my favorites parts of the movie.

70 Days...

...with no pop!

Christmas Movies Number 4: Home Alone

Why I picked it: Well.. It's pretty obvious that this is a classic Christmas comedy. It's mostly of the slap-stick type, but it is the kind you like to watch over and over again. This movie also shows the the importance of having a family around for the holidays, even if you or others can be pain in the butts.

This movie taught us all about love, responsibility, facing our fears, and home security. When I was younger, after watching this movie, I kind of wanted burglars to break into our house. That way it would give me an excuse to set up booby traps. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to do that? I should also note that Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, was a good sequel. It just didn't make my list because the original is such a classic.

Probably my favorite part of the movie...

Christmas Movies Number 5: Gremlins

There is actually a debate on whether or not this is a Christmas movie, but it pretty much takes place on Christmas Eve. Lets see, there are Christmas decorations, Christmas music, movies, snowmen, cookies, and Santas... so why wouldn't this be a Christmas movie? Well... it is a Christmas movie and it's number 5 on my list.

Why: Well because it's just a funny movie and it brings something a little different to the genre. I mean who doesn't want to see cute little fury things multiply and then turn into little monsters that terrorize a town on Christmas Eve.?

When I was younger, I always wanted Gizmo as my pet. I'm pretty sure I would remember the following rules.

1. Never bring him into bright light, especially sunlight because that would kill him.
2. Never have have him come in contact with water(unless I wanted more)
3. Never, ever feed him after midnight(because that makes him turn bad)
hmm... I think I have a new one...
4. Never get him to say the phrase, "Deal... or no deal"

One of my favorite scenes is when all of the gremlins are in a movie theatre watching Snow White.

Ten Years and Running...

This month marks the tenth year anniversary for my nickname, "Chunk". It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since I've been in Jr. High. So many great memories...

So... Chunk... here's to another ten+ years.

Preview: Chunk's Favorite Christmas Movies

Starting Monday(tomorrow), I will be counting down my top 5 favorite Christmas movies. So Mon-Fri, you will be seeing a different title, poster, clips, and why I like the movie.

Movies, Games, Parties, and the Holiday Season

My posts have been too short lately and that is never a good thing. I'm very sorry for my lack of... everything. So I have a few things I could probably talk about.

Movies - So I have been watching a lot of movies lately. Most of them are from this past summer. It was a really good summer for movies. Look forward to me discussing or throwing in a mini-review of all the movies I've been watching lately.

Games- (Well, video games to be more specific) So a few months ago my Xbox 360 died on me. I didn't really do anything about it until like a week ago, when I decided that I should just ship it in to get it repaired. So I shipped it in to microsoft and now they are repairing my 360. It will take 2-3 weeks, but that's nothing compared to the 2 months that I've been without it. Now I like video games, but I'm not someone who sits there and plays constantly, I usually play about 2 or 3 days a week. I'm just looking forward to getting this system back so I can get back into playing Rock Band, the best party game ever. So yeah, another system I own, is the Nintendo Wii and I've been playing that with my friends lately. Every time my friends come over, we end up playing Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. Melee. Both are extremely fun games. Lately I have been craving some Nintendo 64 action... Goldeneye 64, NFL Blitz, RUSH 2, etc. Which kind of brings me to my next topic, "Parties".

Parties- I guess this kind of goes with movies too, but I've been in kind of a party mood lately. A few weeks I had four friends over for a little get together. Yeah, I know four people isn't necessarily a party, but for my small apartment, it is a rockin party. We played games, watched movies, ate pizza, talked, and joked around. It was really good time. It was the first party or whatever that I had in that apartment and I've been living there for over 2 years now. Well now I am thinking about throwing another mini-party, one with a Nintendo 64 theme. So basically we are just gonna play N64 games and Goldeneye 64(the best first person shooter ever period) being the main game. So planning I am.

Holiday Season- Yep, the holiday season is here.... Ok let me rephrase that...The CHRISTmas season is here. That sounds better. Lets just not forget that He is the reason for the season. I guess I kind of say that to myself as a reminder to myself. I guess around this time of year I kind of get into a "Blah la la la la" mood. It's a good mood, but I just end up getting blinded by other things, such as... Christmas Lights(the way the Ingalls look at them), Christmas movies, gifts, food, etc. that I just never look into the real reason of the season. Christ the King is born. I will celebrate that with my friends and family. Yeah!

Well... a post, kind of "nerdy" at times, but it was something to read. I don't feel like looking over grammer or spelling, so if something is wrong... just deal with it. Haha... I type this at the end of the post, so you have already dealt with it. I mean, I should just type that warning at the begining and not the end, but oh well, I'm lazy. Haha... Just don't judge, I guess.

Well, have a good one!

Hello December

That's all I've got.

Happy Thanksgiving

Oops... another tiny post.

Awesome Weekend!

I had a great weekend!

More on that later...

It's Party Time!

...On Saturday night!

OH YEAH!

South Park: Elementary School Musical

Yes, I know that South Park is kind of a naughty show, but last night I started watching the episode entitled Elementary School Musical. If any of you are familiar with South Park, then you probably know that they make fun of a lot of stuff, mainly stuff to do with current pop culture. Well last night's episode was pretty much ripping on High School Musical. So yeah, anything that's gonna make fun of that kind of stuff, is gonna be funny to me.

Dr. Pepper Temptation

So for lunch today, I ate at the Pizza Hut buffet. It's something I do now and then, because hey, I like the buffet! So anyway, I walk in and the waiter walks me to my table. He asks what I would like to drink and I tell him, water. I go to the buffet and load my plate with pizza and I head back to my table to see another waitress setting down a glass of pop on my table. Well, this waitress happens to know that I usually order Dr. Pepper so she assumed that I wanted some. I told her that I just ordered water instead. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead and have this Dr. Pepper for free." So I sat there eating my lunch, with a glass of free Dr. Pepper, waiting for me to drink. I didn't give in though. I stuck with the water, but oh was the temptation high.

12 ft High Club

This is a really random little story, but it was something I was thinking about a few days ago. It's kind of funny... maybe not to some. It's little something about when we were sitting on the runway in Florida, waiting for take off.(Dating back to the family cruise vacation)

So like our plane is in line, waiting to take off... well, it was our turn for the runway, but we just sat there. I begin to wonder what is going on? Is there something wrong with our plane? Another plane?

Me: What's going on? Why aren't we taking off?

Nate: I think somebody is in the bathroom.

It turns out he was right, there was someone using the restroom or something. We had to like 15 minutes before they came out.

Me: So why are they taking so long? Are they trying to join the 12 feet high club?

...At the time, it got a laugh from my family, but it probably isn't funny anymore. It's just one of those times where you just have to be there or something.

Somebody probably asks, "What's the 12 feet high club?".... then Billy Idol will smile.

Haha... but still, I laugh.

Say it is SOto!

Congratulations to Geovany Soto for winning the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

This young catcher was probably one of my favorite Cubs this year and I look forward to watching him as he goes further in his career.

Go Soto Go!

Weekend... It's Here!

I'm very happy that it is the weekend! Even though I always have to work on Saturday, I still have Sunday off. I actually work six days a week(something that I'm not a big fan about), so Sunday can never come soon enough.

Now, I don't want this to sound bad or anything, but I kind of wish that on my one day off a week, I could just have the whole day to myself. However, my only day off is Sunday. Sunday has church in the morning and now The Effect in the evening. Sometimes I just wanna stay home from church all together, so I can have more of a personal time. Yes, this sounds bad, but don't worry. If I'm only gonna have one day off a week, I'm glad it is Sunday, because if it wasn't, I would probably miss out on Sunday mornings. So basically, I'm saying that I wish I had another day off, like most people. The second day off can just be all about what I wanna do. Just to make things clear, I'm not going to start skipping church or anything, just so I can have whole day to myself. I was just stating how I feel about just having one day off in general.

So.. that being said, I'm looking very forward to Sunday. I'm glad that I have started going to The Effect. I really feel it's something I need right now. I needed it a long time ago, but due to my selfish attitude, I wanted nothing to do with it, so I stopped going.

The Bears play the Titans on Sunday and I guess I'm just gonna go with the Bears losing... unless Sexy Rexy can show up with a good game against the undefeated Titans.

Chunk's Truffle Shuffle

I've been doing some blog hopping and I came across Lord Denethor 's post on hitting shuffle on the iPod and listing the first 15 songs that play.

Well, I decided it would be fun if I were to do the same thing. Now I do not own an iPod, but I do own a couple of sweet Creative Zen players. However, both of them are currently without battery power, so I am gonna use my computer instead.

Lets Talk "Change"

I'm thinking my blogs need to start to change or something. I always seem to get on this habit of writing out a small blog post, kind of like this one.

Hmm...

At least I have a more consistent blog... something I couldn't say a year ago, or even two years ago.

Seriously though, Nappanee needs a Wendy's! ...or a Taco Time.

Working at a grocery store, you can run into times where you are surrounded by pop. Oh how I crave a Dr. Pepper right now.

A Thought about Obama

First off, I would like to congratulate Mr. Obama for winning the presidential election and being the first African American to do so.

Now... before I get serious with my thoughts about the election(..which will probably be another post) I would like to just throw out this one thought....

Wouldn't it be really cool if Barack Obama had an Afro? I mean, we could call him FrObama.

Can we see what that would look like? Anybody with some form of photo shop or any other form of advanced technology? Anybody... CNN? ...Bueller?

Happy Election Day

yep.

I Refuse

I refuse to get all political on this blog.

God is in control. I pray.

Currently, my heart isn't right with God... so I pray. It's getting there... I still pray.

I'm asking for prayer.
-for my heart
-for my attitude towards others
-for my relationship with God to grow

Thanks.

The First of November: A November "1st"

This is the first post of November 2008... which is also the first time I've ever posted a blog in November...period.

So... November, I welcome you to the Chunk's Thoughts family. I'm sorry it took 2 years, but you are here and this is truly gonna be an awesome November!

Thriller

Big Fan of the song by Michael Jackson. I kind of like the video too, because the dancing is pretty cool. Oh... and the zombies too. :)

I wanted to upload the music video from youtube, but it's one of those "Embedding disabled by request" kind of deals.

So I will provide you with the link.

Thriller

Enjoy.

31 Days Soda Free

It's been one month since I've last drank any form of carbonated beverage.

So... lets just keep this going another month and probably another month and so on and so on...

Work Costume Fun

Due to today being blahblahween, we were able to have fun and wear costumes to work.

I spent all week thinking about what could be a simple, yet effective(meaning terrifying) costume and this is the most evil thing I could come up with. Enjoy!

Due to the nature of the pictures of the costume below, viewer discretion is advised.

...and those with weak stomachs, should probably leave the room.

Keep scrolling...

Keep scrolling...

How was your day?

Down...

Watch out!

Evil!

Can I take something from you? Maybe a foul ball?

Looking ahead...

Hmm... I don't know...

Goal Failed/ New Friend

Like I said in last night's post, I've got nothing as far a poem. but I like I also said, I'm not giving up. The world will see this. It's time to start getting excited! I'm excited!

So Work lately...

Well, work is so much better when you have a friend and in the last few weeks, I've been getting to know this kid named Zach. I consider this guy, the "work" buddy... but also, the "outside of work" buddy.

So here is what I've learned of him so far:

• He's a fan of the major Chicago sports teams, The Bears and The Cubs
• He attends Goshen College
• He works at Martins in Nappanee
• He has a relationship in Christ
• He has taken time out of his life to eat at places like, Taco Time
• He is a Will Ferrell fan
• He is a fan of the Office
• His younger brother also works at Martins
• He attends GCC on Wednesday nights
• He attends NMC on Sundays... including The Connection and The Effect
• He likes the Fighting Irish
• He understands my jokes... if indeed I'm telling any
• He's a basketball player
• He likes games
• He's single
• He's a listener
• He procrastinates... maybe, I don't know
• He enjoys getting up early for work
• His name is Zack
• He likes Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonalds
• He understands my languages
• He's funny
• So on and so on and so on....

Yep.

Poem Updates:

I've got nothing. That doesn't me that I'm not gonna come up with anything, it means that I'm not gonna have anything set by my goal date... which is tomorrow. Don't worry, something will be done. Something has to be done. It's all about how I wanna use my tongue... for encouragement. So... yep.

Had a good night tonight. After spending over a year avoiding it, I decided to try going to The Effect.(college age/20 something group that meets at church on Sunday night). I'm glad I went, because I needed to hear that kind of message. So yeah... yay! More on this later, I guess.

I'm watching the World Series now.
Current Score, top 5th: Rays 2 Phillies 5
I'm still going for the Phillies... and yes, I remember saying I was going for the Rays, but I'M NOT!

Well.. I guess I'm gonna get ready for bed or something. So later, I guess.

stuff

I don't really have anything to say.
I'm just thinking about stuff... different kinds of stuff.
That's all.

I'm not a poet and I know it.

I've been thinking lately(lately, being the last 4 minutes), that I would like to start writing poetry. I've witnessed a lot during these past few weeks and I believe a lot of people just need some encouragement. It would be nice to write some very encouraging poetry. So this is my goal, to have a least one good poem by this time next week. If I fail, it's probably because I'm still in the process of brainstorming. I'll see what I can do.

Maybe I can use some encouragement as well.

The Rays?!? Come on!

To the Rays: Whatever! Really, where did all of your fans come from?

To the Red Sox: You failed! I mean, the Rays!?!? Come on... seriously!

To the Phillies: I'll stand behind you!

To the Cubs: meh!

To Heath Ledger: They should retire the Joker... meaning no one should play him ever again! You will always be known as the Joker... and that "mountain" guy, but mostly the Joker. Good job.

In honor of the one year anniversary

I went to grab some food from Taco Bell at the exact same time that the tornado hit, one year ago.

Nothing happened this time around. It was just a little cooler.

Remembering One Year Ago...

Tonight marks the one year anniversary of the EF3 tornado that ripped through Nappanee destroying homes and demolishing businesses. Wow! I can't believe it's been one year. Since then homes and businesses have been repaired or rebuilt, including a brand new Taco Bell/KFC, and a brand new home for Dairy Queen.

Since I wasn't much of a blogger a year ago, I never really posted my thoughts of the event or even my story of what was going on that night. Now that I've been keeping a consistant blog, it's time for me to give you the timeline of that night as well as Friday and Saturday. So here you have it.

It's been one year since that night and I remember it like it was yesterday. I can still smell and feel the warmth of the air. The tornado was called the EF3 and it was, it really was... ok, time to be serious.

Thursday, Oct. 18, 2007

9:00PM - Flipped on the TV to watch The Office, only to be interrupted by Mike Hoffman's weather report. There were tornado warnings. To tell you the truth, I was just wanting to watch The Office. I wasn't really worried about anything, because I just thought nothing was gonna happen.

9:55PM - Headed out to go to work. Walking out of my apartment, I remember looking to the western sky's and thinking, "Hmm, it does feel really weird out tonight. We might actually see severe storm, possibly a tornado."

Around 10:15PM - Working in Martins, walking around we hear a tornado siren. I just don't think anything of it.

Around 10:20PM - The tornado hits Nappanee. Again, standing in the middle of a grocery store, we had no idea what was going on. We heard noise and then thought, yep, there is a tornado. One of the store managers runs back and tells us to get to the back room. We go back, the tornado has passed.

10:25PM - 10:40PM - Confused and worried, I spent all this time trying to contact my parents. At that time, none of us knew where this tornado hit. The cell phone I had, was very low on battery power. I called my parent's house, but no answer. I was worried that maybe it hit that part of town and then just passed north of Martins, maybe over the golf course. I was worried that my family was hurt or maybe killed. I then tried contacting my brother in Fort Wayne. His phone was dead and I didn't have their home phone number. Finally I got a hold of my dad.

Me: Dad, are you guys ok? What happened? Where did it hit?
Dad: We're ok. What are you talking about?
Me: I'm talking about the tornado that just went through Nappanee! I'm calling to see if you guys are ok. Do you know what's going on?
Dad: There wasn't a tornado. The sirens went off, but there wasn't much of a storm.

At that point I was relieved, knowing that the tornado wasn't near my family and that everyone was ok. I went on to explain what was going on and then my phone died.

10:45PM - We walked up to the front of the store and looked out. All we saw was darkness and in the darkness the flashing lights of all kinds of emergency vehicles. A police officer drives up and we open the front doors. He asks if everyone is ok and then goes on to kind of describe the path of the storm, stating that Dairy Queen and Taco Bell was gone. We knew that our boss's house was in the path as well. We spent time calling him and he then came to the store along with a lot of Martin's CEO Representatives. The big boys!

Around 11:00PM - They all arrive and check on the store. It was kind of a big deal, considering the store had just opened up a few weeks earlier. We then had to shut off the main generator due to the fact that there was a gas leak.

Around Midnight - With a lot of help from the employees that arrived we spent hours pulling dairy, meat, produce stuff out of all the coolers. The coolers in the back were still up and running. A dry ice guy came and we started putting up dry ice in all the freezers. All of this in the dark with just a few flashlights.

The rest of the night(early morning)- We got the power back on. The manager wanted to get the store all ready, for we were gonna be open the next day. I turned on my phone to see if I could do anything with the few seconds of power that I had. I had all kinds of voicemail messages. Some of them from past students of small groups. Everyone knowing where I lived and really concerned. I was able to get a text message out, but then the phone went dead. With the power back on it just turned back into a regular working night, getting all things stocked and ready for when the store would open. All through the night the phones were ringing, people wanted to know if we would be open.

Friday, Oct. 19

Around 6:00AM - Employees arrived, still not sure when the store was gonna open. The rest of the night crew got everything put up.

8:00AM - It was growing lighter outside. It was time to walk out and see the destruction. A few employees and I walked up to the intersection of CR 7 and US 6. We walked up slowly. Standing there looking across the road, it was an eeire feeling. The sky in the background along with the destruction, looking down US 6 was a very eerie sight. My jaw dropped. It was the first time I've ever seen anything like this, live, and not on a movie or tv.

I then looked over at my apartment complex. We walked over there and there was tons of debris all around in the parking lot. Some of the buildings were damaged. Huge wooden beams sticking out of the roofs. Walking around I noticed that 80% of all the vehicles were damaged, by either hail, tree branches, or any other type of debris. My car was parked at Martins. We walked into the building and down stairs to my apartment. The power was still out. I had nothing but flashlight that you crank to keep it alive. My place is in the basement of the building. It was pretty dark down there. Instead of saying it on here, just ask me about walking around. It's kind of funny. The only thing damaged from my apartment, were the window hinges. I left my windows open that night.

I then grabbed some stuff and went to stay at my parent's place for the weekend. Heading back on Saturday morning, the land lady said that it isn't safe to stay there and that she ordered everybody to stay out until we were told otherwise. So I had to stay at my parent's house for a few weeks. When I was able to move back in, I was told that she was gonna deduct the those weeks from next month's rent. That was nice.

More to say, but I leave that to links from those who posted after the tornado. Look at these links for stories, thoughts, and tons of photos.

Sorry, for all the poor grammer and spelling.

Where's the Sausage?

While in Sandusky, we stopped to eat at one of the Wendy's. I was surprised to see that they actually have a breakfast menu. That's pretty interesting. I hope that eventually all Wendy's around here will add that as well. Then I could actually have Wendy's for breakfast, lunch, and supper. It would never get old.

The Highlights!

I'm gonna give you some highlights/ from my past weekend.

Friday:

• Got a haircut
• Went to Fort Wayne to spend the night before going to Cedar Point
• Hanging out watching tv and the puppet show.
• Got to see my nephew before he went to bed

Saturday:

• Woke up around 7:30 - that's sleeping in for me.
• Driving to CP and actually listening to some music that I brought, even if there were some stupid songs.
• Beautiful weather at Cedar Point
• $5 foot longs
• Magnum XL-200 - that's always a highlight for me because it is my favorite coaster at CP
• Jut walking around the park with Nate, Jolyn, and Kayla - laughing and talking and finding the look a-likes.
• Cedar Point pretzel - probably one of the longest lines to wait in.
• The Graveyard Shift - one of CP's HalloWeekend shows. Some good music and stuff.
• Looking at all the decorations around the park. It's as if the residents of Boneville(from the train) took over the park.
• Leaving the park to set up the tents at the camp ground, followed by dinner at Wendy's.... mmm.
• The Gemini, two rides. The first time me and Nate's train won. Second time, Jolyn and Kayla. Nate jumped off the train pretty fast and ran down to be the first on the Midway. I think he even pushed some little kids out of the way just so he could win... haha... just kidding.
• Riding the train - this has become like the tradition of going to Cedar Point. It's just a time to just relax and just hangout. I'm not talking about riding the train from one point to another, I'm talking about taking a few laps around and then getting off.
• Fright Zone - I was hoping that Kayla would get scared, but she didn't. The Skull is very funny and he can actually scare people more than the screamsters in the fright zones.
• CarnEvil - a kid was very scared to walk through, but his family wanted to. It seemed like every monster went up to him and scared him. It was funny, because one time he actually fell down and the monster was just standing there hovering over him. Poor kid. He did end up laughing at it. It was also funny because at the end, there was this guy with a chainsaw and he ran right at the family. The kid screamed. It was all classic.
• Terror Island - It was pretty cool. Nothing really scared us, but it was just something fun to walk around and see these monster pirates. Kind of reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean(not to mention that fact that in line, they were playing the theme from the movies) There was this guy that was attached this this bungee thing and he would just fling right out at the guests walking through. It was pretty cool.
• MaxAir - it was pretty fun to get Kayla to ride it. I think she liked it. To tell you the truth, I think that ride is starting to freak me out more and more(which is a good thing). It always feel like the thing is gonna fly off or something, especially when it starts slowing down because there is this jerk to it.
• Fear Faire - Just Nate and I went through, but this one actually freaked me out. The fog was really thick and the thing was kind of a maze. We didn't know where to go have the time. We came to this dead end and this thing jumped out and scared us. It was kind of funny to then watch everyone else do the same thing. We finally found our way out.
• Riding Maverick as our final ride. It was Kayla's first time on and my first time riding it at night. It was pretty fun. It's one of my favorite coasters at the park.

Sunday:

• Sleeping in.
• Eating at Steak'n Shake - 4.99 Frisco Melts and fries(the bill was screwed up at first, but then they got it right)
• Sleeping on the way home - it's been awhile since I've actually got to sleep coming home from Cedar Point. Usually I'm the one driving.
• Coming home and eating Hacienda chips and salsa while watching Sunday Night Football and MLB playoffs.

So that was the weekend. I really don't wanna get into all that happened when we were leaving the parking lot. If you wanna know, just ask me. I think I'll put some pictures up, but not now. If you have Facebook, I've uploaded some.

Well, later.

CP Game: Look A-Likes

Everytime I go on a trip with friends or family, we always play this game called Who Ever Finds the Most Celebrity Look A-Likes Wins. (I kind of just made up that title right now, but it's pretty much what we do.)

We played this game at Cedar Point and here were the results. (yes, it would have been better if actually had pictures of the look a-like to compare with the real thing but I wasn't gonna go up to some random person and just take their pictures. this is to give you an idea of what these people this look like. Enjoy)



Nate's Picks:

Craig Kilborn



Harry Potter




Kayla's Picks:

Phil Margera

My Picks(The winner):

Jim Halpert



Randy Jackson




Kid from Freaks and Geeks


Yeah, the more I think of it, this post is really pointless without the actual pictures of all the random look a-likes, but still, these are the people we saw. Maybe it was the real ones or maybe not. All I know is in the end, I won! Booyah!


Cedar Point trip report yet to come!
Maybe later tonight or tomorrow!

The (Hallo)Weekend

I wanna post about my weekend, but I'm not in the mood for typing it out right now. I know I'm not really good at following through and posting what I say I will post about, but I will try to do this.

It was a very nice weekend. The weather was perfect(even though I wasn't really wanting perfect). It made for a nice weekend for camping and walking around the park in shorts. The reason I didn't want such good weather was because I knew it was gonna be a very busy day at Cedar Point and if the weather was cooler and maybe a chance of rain, then the park wouldn't have been as busy. But still, it was a good day.

So I will just have to post about it another time. I will even have to post about the trip out of the parking lot... grrr.... idiots!

Yeah... something to clear up.

I stated earlier that I was going with the Rays, well I think I just said that because I hate the White Sox and they were playing the White Sox! That was a completely stupid post and I think I'm just gonna delete it.

I really like the Red Sox, so I'm not gonna cheer against them.

So Go Red Sox!!

Haircut

It's been awhile and it's time!

Ish

I just dropped by to say, good night.

I should have been in bed hours ago.

HalloWeekends

So next weekend I'm going up to Cedar Point with some other Ingalls's to experience HalloWeekends. It's a trip I'm excited about and really looking forward to. Cedar Point usually does an awesome job at decorating the park and creating some terrifying, exciting, and very fun, attractions. Some of the haunted houses are okay, but the fright zones are where it's at.

This year they introduce Terror Island. You walk through and cross a bridge to Millennium Force island(one of the islands in the lagoon that has the huge turn around from Millennium Force) and it's got like a haunted pirate theme. It sounds pretty cool.

Day 4

Water is awesome!

I feel as if I have cheated, because I was at Mc. Donalds the other day and I drank an orange Hi-C. I know it isn't pop, but still just as bad. I'm gonna have to watch my intake on stuff like that.

I have been drinking a lot of bottled water, so that's good. I smile, because I know how much pop I would have drank in the last few days.

So lets bring on... the milk and the juice and more water. I'm just gonna have to cut back on the orange Hi-C, but that's usually what I get when I eat breakfast at Mc. Donalds because it's cheaper.

Go Cubs Go!(something awesome could happen. if not, then it's all about the Rays)

Rays The Roof!

With the Chicago Cubs having one more loss before they are out of the post season, I find myself pulling for another team. An AL team and nope, it's not the Red Sox. I sit here right now, wanting the Tampa Bay Rays to pull through and make it to the World Series and win it all. I personally think they deserve it. They are a team that kind of came out of no where and just rose above everyone during the season. They seem to play as if they really want it, unlike some other MLB teams, *cough, cough*, the Cubbies.

They are playing the Chicago White Sox(a team which I hate the most) right now and they are down few runs. I hope they come back and win and the win the next series, followed by the World Series... well, unless there is some miracle in which the Cubs win three in a row and move on to win the NLCS and eventually play in the World Series, then I will say "Go Cubs Go!" But for now, I'm cheering for this fairly new Tampa Bay team.

So...
GO RAYS GO!!!

Yes, I am still a Cubs fan, but if they are out, I've gotta have something to look forward to!

Hmm...

I've stated before that I'm giving up soda, well now would be a great time to pick up drinking... ok just kidding.

Some bad words.

I'm gonna admit there were some bad words said about the Cubs tonight. Out of respect for my viewers, I will not repeat what was said.. by me and others.

The End.

Here We Go!

Brewers vs. Phillies starts now.

Tonight: Dodgers vs. Cubs

Late Tonight: Red Sox vs. Angels

I say, "GO CUBS GO!"

I will say softly, "Go Red Sox"

It's What Starts(or ends) on Oct. 1

Ok, So I've put a lot of thought into this and I have decided that it is the end of soda pop for me... well, maybe not the end, but more of a break from drinking pop. This will begin on Oct. 1 and I guess my goal will be one month and then so on and so on. The big goal would be for me to go until the start of 2009... the bigger goal would be a year... we'll see how this goes.

Why?
Well, I've noticed others giving up pop or fasting from it or something and I've decided that it is my turn to try something different.

Some Reasons for "no pop":

• need to enjoy this tasty liquid called, "water"


• Healthier/Lose some weight - I've seen people give up pop for awhile and end up losing some weight. I think that would be great. I'm not saying that it's a big weight loss, but I do drink a lot of pop. Anyone who goes out to eat with me will say that I always ask for several refills... That's a lot of calories and such. I know drinking other stuff can be just the same, but I think water is gonna be my main choice.


• Saving some $$$ - since I drink a lot of pop, I do spend a lot buying pop. Water and other beverages can be cheaper.

So the next few days I'm enjoying some sweet, sweet, nectar before it is bye-bye. When I'm done with this pop break, and I'm back to drinking Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, etc., I'm gonna start drinking Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, Diet etc.

So to you I say... "Cheers".

No More Doctors, Mountains, or Pep!

That's right... It all starts(or ends) on Oct. 1...

More on this later!

May the clues, pop into your head...

Bye bye beautiful.

Cedar Point Memories

So I've decided that I'm gonna start posting some memories from my experiences working at Cedar Point in '03 and '04. I will have like the "CP memory of the week" or something. Some will be fun, others funny, some maybe sad, some probably stupid, and at least one memory from that time probably makes me wanna pull my hair out and scream! Well, maybe I won't talk about that one, because it's a sore memory that a lot of people don't want to hear again(lets just say that one specific memory I'm thinking about doesn't really have to do all with Cedar Point. It really has nothing to do with Cedar Point. It's just that I was in my CP dorm room at the time. Lets just say I was still employed at CP on Oct. 14, 2003. Confused? Look it up.) So here starts the first big memory of 2003 and it is pretty big!(but it's not Big Bash)

This memory or event rather, happened two months prior to my for mentioned unspoken memory. The date was August 14, 2004.(Figured it out yet?) Lets just say it was a pretty hot and humid day. Wait... lets back things up a bit. You might be wondering what I did when I worked there. Well... when I worked at Cedar Point I was a sweep and I also did a little bit of other stuff. "Why a sweep?" you ask. Well... I'll explain another time. Anyway, back to this memory...
So it was a very hot and humid Thursday afternoon and I out sweeping just outside of the park, (if you are familiar with Cedar Point, I'm talking about the area between the parking lot and the main gate turnstiles.) I was just walking around doing nothing really. After awhile of just walking around and people watching, I began to notice that it was pretty quiet. Cedar Point has music playing all over the park, but the music they play in the front is louder than all the stuff in the park. I guess I really never thought about it, but after a few minutes, a lady came up to me and asked, "When are the rides gonna re-open?" I kind of had this look like, "What the heck are you talking about?" I then turned and looked into the park and I didn't believe what I saw. First thing I saw was the Sky Ride sitting there and not moving. I thought,"Ok, the Sky Ride has stopped. That normally happens." I look over to the Raptor, stopped on the brake run. I look back at Magnum, stopped on the hill. I look at the Space Spiral, stopped just about 40 feet from the platform. I then think to myself, "What the heck is going on here?" I turn the lady and say, "I'm sorry mam, but I have no idea what's going on, but I'm gonna find out."

So I ran back into the park to try to find one of my supervisors or team members. I couldn't find anyone at first, so I just came to the conclusion that the Cedar Point lost it's power. I had no idea that it was bigger than that. ...What am I talking about? The Northeast Blackout of 2003.
... It was probably the weirdest thing walking through a crowded amusement park with no power. The only sound was the blend of all voices from guests in the park. The only other background noise, was just the feet of all the people walking. I was still walking around the park trying to find some other employees that I worked with. I walked through the thick crowds of people and listened to what they had to say. Most of the guests were getting mad at Cedar Point and I mean, really ticked off at Cedar Point. Others wondered if it was just the Sandusky area, while others talked about how it could actually be much bigger and maybe all of the US. I still needed to know what the deal was, so I could explain to the guests what was going on.

I eventually found another team member talking with our supervisor. I went up and asked them what's up. Standing there, I remember my supervisor with a very serious face(not really a serious guy) stood there and said,
"Jeremy, have you been informed about what's going on?"
I told him I had no idea and that I really wanted to know whats up.
He said, "This thing is bigger than just Cedar Point and Sandusky. The power is out all the way to New York!"
I'm like, "No way!?"
He then goes on to say, "We aren't totally sure yet, but there is a big chance that this whole thing is related to a possible act of terrorism. I want you keep it on the down low for now. But tell other employees when you see them."
I thought he was joking at first, but he was seriously telling me what he has heard from the upper management. At that time all kinds of thoughts started going through my head. "Was this true? Are we in the early stages of a terrorist attack? What's gonna happen in the next 24 hours? I'm in Ohio and my family is in Indiana. Am I gonna see them again? I've gotta call them!" My brother was one of the supervisors for his department and he was also working that day. I had to find him, for I knew he had a cell phone for calling home.(I didn't own one back then)

To be continued...

Man, I never really plan on telling long stories. All I was gonna say, was that I worked there during that major power outage. I just decided to make a story of it. I hope it is interesting. So enjoy. But yeah, I guess I'll finish tomorrow or something. Hmm...why does this story make me think of the beginning of another similar, but fake, story entitled The Cedar Point Zombies of Chaos? Haha... good times.

Ok then, I'm out. I need a roommate! The quest continues!

Go Cubs!

Mr. 100? More like Mr. False!

So under the blog entitled Mr. 100 I stated that it was my 100th post. I thought it was my 100th post, due to the fact that when I selected "new post", it said that I had 99 posts. But after looking over the "Take a Trip to the Past" on the right side of the blog, the number of posts from the three years added up to 102. So that would make I'm Here my 100th post and Mr. 100 being the 101.

I apologize for all the misleading information. I am a disgrace to the blogging community.

Back to the Point! (cue, "The Power of Love")

So recently I have received an e-mail from Cedar Point, saying that I've been invited to attend a Back to the Point Employee Reunion. The event is held during the last weekend of the month (Labor Day weekend) and I guess it's a pretty big deal. They are having admission discounts, hotel discounts, a cookout, entertainment, and ERT(extended ride time after the park closes) all for past employees and their guests. Hmm, this event has been planned for awhile and it's kind of weird that I just now got the information about it.

I still wasn't sure if it was some form of e-mail spam sent to all ex-employees, so I decided to do a little research. I came across this web site and found this. Reading both the article and the e-mail made me start to think about all the memories of working at Cedar Point for two summers. They had all kind of stuff for employees, such as parties, employee ride nights, cookouts, movie nights, trips and other fun stuff. Sitting here, I kind of miss working there. Yeah, I guess I could share some of my fondest memories another time.

Unfortunately for me, I won't be able to attend, for I have plans on going there in October with Nate, Jolyn, Austin, and Kayla. However, if for some reason I do go, it will be on the Sunday, but still very unlikely.

I'm not sure why I used this as a blog post, but oh well, it works.

Mr. 100

This is my 100th post!

I'm Here.

I'm kind of letting this blogging thing slip away on me, but don't worry, I assure you that I'll try to keep with it. There has been a lot of amazing stuff that has happened over the past few weeks or so, but i'll touch on those another time.

I took Ryan and Kayla down to Fort Wayne this past weekend. We all had a fun time hanging out with Nate, Jolyn, and baby Austin. We got to see a couple of funny movies, watch Phelps make history, and just enjoy some Wii time. It was a pretty good weekend and lets just say.... I laughed a lot. Good times.

My good friend Ben Russel is in Egypt this week, so it's pretty boring without him around playing Rock Band, watching Family Guy, and eating at T-Bell. I hope he is having a good time.

I'm watching the Cubs game right now. They have just been awesome lately. It's been a great season and I hope to see them go deep in the playoffs and when I say "deep" I mean, win the World Series. I've brought this topic up before, but it's just I feel... well, it's just how all Cubs fans feel. So I guess we'll see what happens.

Well, I guess I'm done for now. More to come as I try to post a blog within the next few days or so.

Bye Bye Beautiful

The Bottom Three

The movies that I didn't think were great, but I still enjoyed.

My Top Three Summer Movies

Why So Serious?

I haven't posted much lately so I thought I would give you my thoughts on this movie.

It was simply amazing! It's probably one of my favorite movies, ever. To be honost with you, I wasn't the biggest fan of Batman Begins. I'm not saying I hated it, I liked it yes, but I just wasn't into it. I think what really made this movie awesome, was Heath Ledger's brilliant performance as The Joker. Christian Bale as Batman is good too. So is Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face, but when all is said and done, it is Ledger that steals the show. I'm almost afraid that I won't enjoy the next Batman movie, just because of no Joker, or at least no Heath Ledger as a Joker. So yes...The Dark Knight = Awesome!!

CRUSHED!

Hoosker Do's, Hoosker Don'ts

I meant to post this on the 4th. It's still pretty funny though.
Enjoy.

My Dad on the TV

I know this is a bit old, but it's still makes me laugh.

This is Carrie Underwood performing live on The Early Show, back in 2005.

Click on the link and watch the video and at about 2:00, you'll see my dad.

HERE

Lots

There is lots to post on, such as...
-The Cedar Point trip
-The Chicago Cubs
-Rock Band
-Work

I don't know, probably nothing really to post on besides the Cedar Point trip and the Chicago Cubs. I can always post my thoughts on Snack Pack.

Stay Tuned...

It was in the back of my head

and now it's gone! Why? Why does this have to happen? I was gonna just say it and now I don't know what "it" was. Ahhh!

Taco Bell?

but then again

Gas prices kill everything fun about the summer.

It might slow me down, but it won't stop me from everything.

Gas Kills Eating Out with Friends

If anyone knows me, they know that I love eating out with my friends. Hacienda, Applebees, Wings Etc. ...Etc. I just enjoy sitting there having conversations and eating delicious food. I'm not saying I always go out to eat while hanging out with friends, but I at least like to do it at least once. Well, I guess gas has really been destroying that lately. Hacienda turns into Taco Bell. Applebees turns into Burger King and Wings Etc. turns into KFC. It's not that its a bad thing, but still it's nice to just get out of town once and awhile.

Thanks gas prices, for killing such a good time.

I'm done venting now.

The New Favorite

I'll admit it right now, I wasn't the biggest fan of the show Seinfeld when the series was still running. I remember watching a few episodes and maybe because I was young, I just didn't get it. I'm not saying I hated it, but it just wasn't my thing. Back in the day, it seems like the only shows I watched were, Boy Meets World, The Simpsons, Doug, Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and Full House. I was a kid and that's what most kids watched.

I think I actually got into Seinfeld during the final episode, but then again, everything on TV can seem pretty cool when you are watching it with Ghoti Hook and Value Pac. (True Story) But as the years went by and reruns seem to be showing on like every channel two times a day, I thought I would give it a try, so I started watching a few episodes here and there. I began to laugh... a lot. It was funny TV. These characters are all one of kind. It still wasn't my favorite thing to watch on TV, far from it, but it was something that I enjoyed watching time to time.

Four years later, I move out of my parents house and into an apartment with two crazy guys. I'll say this right now, I probably stood out from these guys the most, because I wasn't digging most of the stuff they watched on TV. There were some times when I though I did, but I didn't, but when there was stuff on that we all enjoyed, it made the experience even better. Of the few shows we watched, Seinfeld seem to stick out the most, because it was something I was still getting into and at the same time, a show that was Twan's favorite. He even collected the seasons on DVD and we would watch them and we would laugh. My likeness for show grew during that year.

Now a few years later, my like turned more into a love. I began watching any episode that I could watch on TV. When company is over, we'll watch it. When I get off work, I'll flip it to TBS and watch two episodes. Even if the same episode was playing two different days on different channels, it was okay. Seinfeld is one of those re-run shows, that you can watch the same episode like, three times and just like it more and more. It's just that good. Now I can't say that I've seen every episode or that I have a favorite, but I can say this, Seinfeld is my favorite cancelled or re-run show. Period.

All Is Well

I feel as if Nappanee is complete again.

Now if we can get one of these, it would be next to Heaven on Earth.

I'm trying to make this enjoyable for you...

That's what she said.

Seriously though, I'm thinking of ways to make Chunk's Thoughts more enjoyable and fun.

Fun=Awesome!
Awesome=I'm cool!

The Best In MLB

I'm watching the Cubs game.
The Cubs currently hold the best record in baseball in 2008.
The last time they had the best record entering June, was 100 years ago.
The last time the Cubs won the World Series, was 100 years ago.

So lets take a look at this...

June 1908 - Best record in baseball
October 1908 -World Series Champs

June 2008 - Best record in baseball
October 2008 - World Series Champs?

Could this be the year? I'm feeling it! Yeah, things can happen and turn around fast, but I've had this feeling about the Cubs way back before the season started.
Is anybody else in the same boat with me?

Go Cubs Go!

WAKE UP!

Waking up early is not my thing.
Next week I have to wake up at like 5AM each day, well at least 6 out of the 7.
I'm not happy about it, but then again it beats other things.

Off subject... somethings or some people really annoy me.

That's all I have to say.

The Wonder Years

So is this show out on DVD yet? Seriously!
