Woah ... Keith is alive. Yes, not only am I alive, but I'm back from some absolutely horrifying and sobering adventures. Which, yep you guessed it, I will explore in detail right here before your very eyes.
First off, Andrew is right, life without the internet is tough. I'm surprisingly ok without cable. I mean yeah, sure we missed Avril Lavigne either A) growing up or B) getting lots of surgery but who cares. I also had no clue that there was some Nic Cannon show on MTV (which as a side note I haven't watched since March of 2005) which is called Wild On or something. I thought that was a show on E! last time I checked. So on the one hand while this makes me feel old and like I'm one step away from saying, "I can't stand the music you guys listen too. It's so horrible!" It's better since I'm not being forced to watch horrible shows. When you bring back good sitcoms, then you'll bring me back to paying for cable. Capitalism at its finest folks.
But life without internet is a drag. You're hanging out at the apartment and you want to know what time a movie starts ... hmmmm ... you have a few options:
1.) Check your newspaper (woops don't get one)
2.) Call 411 (That costs a whole $1.50 so who's doing that)
3.) Rely on a friend to look for you (kind of lame but doable)
4.) Drive 5 minutes down the road to your office and mooch their internet (also good for blogging).
So I think once Drew leaves me here next week, so sad, I think I'm going to try to get internet again off someone for cheap. That way you can keep up to pace with my life playing video games and reading as I blog about it! I know I know contain yourselves please.
But I started to talk about adventures before I got off on that tangent now didn't I. Oh I had one large adventure over the last two weeks. It was an adventure that involved scorching heat, wailing and gnashing of teeth, people moving about slowly, and never ending torment. Noooooooo I haven't been to hell and back, but you're close. Wait for it ...
I VISITED THE SOUTH!
Yep, you heard it right. I went south of the Mason Dixon line, and it was horrific. My parents have moved to Savannah, GA and I went down to help them move. Now it's not all terrible though. I did stumble upon a lovely fast food chain called Sonic. And sweet mother alive do they make some slamming burgers and shakes. But it also takes you twice as long to do anything in the south (probably because if you move at regular speed you melt, like actually melt into a puddle). But I'm going to chronicle some of my happenings next blog. Which will be soon I assure you. Sometime next week, or perhaps this weekend. So until then, don't go further south than the PA state line. It's not worth risking it. Cause if you do, you might end up looking like this ... Yep you might turn into Bubba Sparxxx!!!!! Booty booty booty booty rocking everywhere! Oh no!
No seriously ... it's not. That wasn't even a joke.
Later y'inz guys!

Life without internet is a dangerous thing
OH MY WORD IT'S ANDREW!!!
Yeah that's right folks I'm back to drop a short article at you, namely because:
1) Keith hasn't in a long time
2) I'm at Carly's house-my only outlet for internet bliss
3) Carly is watching "Days of Our Lives"...a show I could do without having in the days of my life (oh snap!)
But if you read this blog you nwill note that as stated in point 2 here, Carly is the only source of internet that I have right now. I used to have a computer, but that computer belongs to my former employer (who was obstinantly against me paying them good legal tender for the computer, which has been used and abused for 4 years now) and I must have return it. So therefore the only way I can get on the internet is if I come over to Carly's. I've found that I've missed out on a lot of cool stuff by not having the internet. Here's what I've been missing:
1) Apparently PNC park was put to its first good use since its creation a few years back...serving as the host stadium for the MLB 2006 All Star game! MY friend Ryan told me that "the game" was in Pittsburgh this past week. He actually had to explain to me what "game" he was talking about and I was instantly shamed. Apart from not knowing that the All Star game was going on literally in my back yard, I also felt like a heel because it shows how disconnected I am to professional baseball-a sport which happens to be "America's Pastime". Because I wasn't able to check sites like FOXNews.com, espn.com, or Accuweather.com for the past 2 weeks, I've been made to be a heel-and even worse a heel that doesn't even respect America!!
2) EMAIL!!!! I've gotten several important emails over the past 2 weeks sans-internet. I know because I just checked them. In my email cache were emails pertaining to (but not limited to):
a) an accepted transfer student to my alma mater who had not heard peep or pipe from my alma mater confirming her studentness. When you get emails from students with the subject title "Do I exist at your school?!?!", you know things aren't going well.
b) copious amounts of vacation planning with my 4 best friends from high school. Me, Mike, Bill, Colin, and Jeremy are all headed to Virginia Beach tomorrow with our "respective" girlfriends (but Jeremy is engaged so his FIANCE is coming...please take note). In addition to a rock solid friendship and an overabundance of side splitting tales or misadventure, we five friends share a penchant for apathy when it comes to planning seemingly large events. However over the past few weeks gmail has logged probably close to 30 emails from our little rabble of ne'er-do-wells all of which involve planning our vacation:Who's buying the keg of Yueng, who's cooking what meals on which days, who's bringing Colin golf clubs, how we're all going to car pool down...this is big stuff here! I of course have been out of the loop because of the lack of internet at my disposal, and so I just hope that Bill picks me up on the way to the beach on Saturday morning.
c) A .pdf file of a fax from a one Honorable F.R. Spohn of French Creek, NY announcing that he was absolving me in his court of any potential outstanding charges of "Theft of Serives". Whew!
3)Did you realize that I've been invitied to hang out by Laura, been invited to join the Tara Wagner Fan Club* , and I've been poked by Carly about 3 times over the past few weeks on facebook.com?!?!? NEITHER DID I?! It just so happens that all of these things have happened to me without my knowledge...and facebook is really important so I feel at a loss for not knowing this sooner.
4) Bloggggggging! I know I don't have a whole lot of important things to say, but I do miss blogging a lot.
I plan on getting a computer soon, so before you know it I'll be pirating wireless internet from my neighbor and making more hilarious blogs that make you say "Uhhhhhh!!"** I'll talk to you kids soon.
*TREATED!!
**IF your name is Judge F.R.Spohn and you just read that last sentence, pleaes pretend that you didn't. I am not a crook!
