The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Friday, February 29th, 2008

I always wanted to be on a sports team like that. I’m not exactly sure why, but I always thought it would be fun to have “glory days.” Then, I would have stories to tell my children and golf buddies. I guess I could tell people about Punk Rocky and walking home from school and things like that. Maybe these are my glory days, and I’m not even realizing it because they don’t involve a ball.

I’m reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it is amazing. Next week I have an exam coming up so I am somewhat busy. Peace in the East.

NY Party Trailer/This is How We Roll

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Oi Peeps, I know you guys are hungry for the footage. This ill shit is some preview footage, exclusive on aaronvanvalen.com. Some say it’s the trailer for the real deal. All I can say is: I was there. I was there.

I thought it would be nice to upload some photos I made before I had this blog.

My trip down to BOSTON. It was freezing as hell.

My View is Black and White

I have to say they could have picked any color but this. But anyway, I have braces. The reason I have not been very active on this page as of late was due to my hands. They were being a pain. No pun intended.

I appear to have some sort of condition similar to carpel tunnel / RSI but, as always, I am special and the doctor doesn’t really know what’s going on. However, these braces, though they remind me of Forrest Gump, appear to work. Of course, this is only temporary and only for computer use.

I can now use my nouveau laptop again. It is a real hoot.

Just finished watching Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man. I highly recommend it. As I do all of Jarmusch’s other pictures, they are more than just a laughride, folks. These, are works of art.

See here, a crazy Mexican guy. And an even crazier Italian guy. The latter was referred to by the waitress as supersize Italian. I know not why.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my dad’s birthday so I thought that deserved mentioning here.

Have a good one, pops.

Hooray. Hooray. Hooray.

Brownies and Pie

A little update on the awesome-ness of the dining hall. They have brownies. They have cinnamon muffins. They have blueberry muffins. They got pie. They got heaps and heaps of cereal. They got milk. They got a salad bar. They got pizza. They got peanut butter cookies. They got … they got … they got a whole lotta stuff. And this is all unlimitedly included for the price of $6.02 or so. Which translates as cheap in euros. I never do dishes. I never cook. I got the lazy part of America pretty much covered.

You gotta love the dollar.

Of course I am very wary of becoming a bloated European in America. So I eat healthy foods. Did I mention they have combine-your-own stir fry, to be topped of with some shrimp, beef, or chicken? Teriyaki sauce; sesame garlic sauce; orange ginger sauce; peanut sauce. Yum yum. With tons of veggies, of course. I need my vitamins, you know.

Though I must say I sneak in the occasional muffin or double chocolate chip cookie, I mean, who doesn’t.

I am loving it!

Snow

It’s goddam cold over here. I’m not kidding.

I’m living in the past. Six hours, to be precise.

I am surrounded by Americans; and I am liking it.

I live down in room # 429, feel free to stop by. We all know the fourth floor is where the party’s at.
