| On the pennsylvania turnpike right now. Heading to cuyahoga falls to visit my aunt. Cuyahoga falls for those of you who don't know, is located right outside of akron, ohio. Akron, is, of course located right outside of the great city of Cleveland.
Cleveland is known for its wondrous dynamic offerings as a city. From the nba cavaliers to the original nesting grounds of the baltimore ravens (whose owner ran away from cleveland after twenty some years to pursue better public support... In baltimore of all places.)
Cleveland also has a wondrous major league baseball team. The indians. Who play in the beautiful stadium formerly known as Jacobs Field. Went to my first game there with my uncle back in the day when they had manny ramirez manning right field, the ageless jim thome holding up runners at first base, the spectacular roberto alomar making gold glove plays at second base, and david justice, richie sexson, and random other players rounding out the perennially playoff achieving team.
Cleveland is also well known for being the butt of many hilarious jokes. Some of which are well deserved. For example Cleveland is the home setting for the television show "the drew carey show". But to be fair though the actors who participate in "whose line is it anyway" are spectacularly amazing. Ryan stiles, colin mockery, and drew carey, you men are my heroes.
Also about two years ago, quote machine ichiro suzuki uttered this quote that pretty much summed up what all think; "I don't want to go to Cleveland. If I ever hear myself say I want to go to Cleveland, then I'd punch myself in the face because I'm lying."
But for all the glory that is Cleveland, Akron still manages to find ways to remain in the memory of all americans. In the heyday of the early 1900's, Akron was the birthplace of rubber. If you walk the streets of akron or cleveland you'll be sure to see, among other wonderful monuments, the rubber museum and the goodyear museum and headquarters. Nowadays akron is brought into the national spotlight as the birthplace and childhood home of the great lebron james. International Basketball megastar and 2008 olympic gold medalist.
As drew carey would say, "Cleveland Rocks!!!"
For those of you wondering I am writing this on my sisters blackberry. And my thumbs hurt now.
over and out. djho

| Facebook has really taken over my life. I've used it so much that I can't even remember how to ask a chick what her screen name is. My typing Kind of sucks now that i dont' converse over aim much. I have observed that many famous people have a very strong hold of the english language. and by that i mean they can become very descriptive and use many many adjectives and metaphors to get their point across. I feel like i should start reading a thesaurus or something.

| i'm at duke .and this weekend was really fun. its just sad because i wont see these people again for a very long time. there's always a beginning and an end. a happy part and a sad part. the experience is what counts. another chance to reflect, reminisce, about the past with others. a chance to meet and greet and eat. share and talk with others who have things in common.
Never before have I felt so comfortable around total strangers. Not saying that I was extremely comfortable, but i was not as anxious as i usually am. Its nice to have things in common with others. Makes life a lot easier to go through, and now, I understand. no more judging and first impressions. at least i will try to make a conscious effort. there are people smarter, who work harder, with less. they work with effort, know where they came from and know where they want to go. If i'm to be in any part of these kinds of people. i must get to work.
it was fun. but its over now. back to life. and then i end my two month break and begin anew. I owe it to many to be so much more. -djho |
