Well, it has been a long time coming, one year to be precise, but here it is, the first anniversery of my blog. Who can forget such great articles as "The tale of the Wal-mart nap."

Well, hello dear reader, it has been a long time. Don't worry you haven't missed much. It really seems like I start a lot of my entries like that anymore.

Well, I have taken a big step out of character in the last few weeks. Thats right, I have been working. Whether as a glorified (not really) home ec teacher, or an "account rep", I have been working for the man for going on 3 weeks now. The title "account rep" is really just bullshit. I mean, a title like that implies that I am working on accounts and dealing with people, thus "Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1087886058603298992004-06-22T00:39:00.000-05:002004-06-22T02:08:24.763-05:00Funniest of the web, june 2004

Well, hello again, dear readers. Once again it has been some time since I last posted. A lot has changed since my last post, most notably I am now going to Japan...which I am sure that you all know as I can't seem to shut up about it. Consequently, this means that I have to save a couple thousand bucks by September.

Well, not much is going on right now. At least not that much that would provide fun stories to tell (translation: I haven't been getting drunk enough to do stupid things). Nevertheless, I haven't posted for a while so I figured what the hell, why not just get on here and blab away for a while.

Well, as I was trying to think of something to blog about tonight, I came across a fairly unoriginal idea that I thought might be fun. Rather than tell some story from my life, I would surf around for awhile on the web and come up with what I found to be the 5 funniest sites and provide links to them.

Well, I was going to wait another day or so to update, you know, make it an even month, but due to overwhelming public demand (Kate) I have decided to step up to the plate early. So lets get a quick update on the last month:
1. Still unemployed.
2. My cousin Mandy is now married.
3. I got a haircut.
4. I finally saw kill bill.

Well, hello again dear reader, it has been a long time since I have posted. Not like a Yoosuk long time or anything, but still, I hope that absence has made the heart grow fonder, or however the saying goes.

Well, this week has gone by suprisingly quickly. The reason I say this, and the reason it has been so long since my last post is that the internet has not been working at my house.

Well, the battle that began so long ago continues. Thats about all there is to say about that; still unemployed, still looking. I could go into the details but that would be really boring.

Well, thanks to my desire to get a new job, I met with a head hunter today. She was very helpful and I must say I learned a lot. This is not my topic though.

Well, shit. This hasn't exactly been my week. When I woke up Sunday morning, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. As regular readers already know, I skipped the meeting on Sunday to get more sleep. This, I was afraid/hopeful would lose me my job. It didn't, in fact it really hasn't come up much. The main reason for this is, I believe, because while I was Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1076311596720657932004-02-09T02:26:00.000-05:002004-02-09T02:28:22.293-05:00All's well that ends well
Well, I am now looking back on what turned out to be four days off from work. My hopes for these four days were very, perhaps unreasonably high, and looking back on it, I didn't really get done any of the major themes that I had intended. Its not that I wasted my time or anything, quite the contrary, I was busy most of the time. I looked for jobs, acquired funds for Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1075929943302967902004-02-04T16:25:00.000-05:002004-02-04T16:30:45.560-05:00The time has come again
Well, I am on the brink of three days off from work, and it occurs to me that I am approaching another brink. I am referring to the year to come. I have three major options: 1) Go to law school. This is the most ideal of the three options, as when I finally emerge from it I will actually have a marketable job skill, that and I will get to be in college for three more Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1075164595784433072004-01-26T19:49:00.000-05:002004-01-27T02:24:47.843-05:00But first, the news

Well, for those of you who don't know, the seventh circle of hell is a frozen lake (at least if that Dante character is to be trusted). Saturday was indeed a cold frozen lake of a day. I awoke with an uber-hangover, and the knowledge that I was going to have to go to work for the next 8 hours. I nearly quit my job to avoid this horror, but in the end Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1074213548329861402004-01-15T19:39:00.000-05:002004-01-15T19:44:47.826-05:00Winter Sets In
Well, Christmas is over, and so is New Years. Yes, thats right, the longest, crappiest part of the year is upon us. All around town you can see this affecting peoples behavior. Today at work a woman was just super unfriendly with me, although I imagine that her problem lay deeper than that time of year. She came and found me, already pissed at me, apparently she had been Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1072759899501541672003-12-29T23:51:00.000-05:002003-12-30T00:33:41.826-05:00Strange Days
Well, I was sick this week for the first time in probably 6 years. This malady sadly prevented me from going out on Friday. Saturday, however, as though by sheer force of will, I managed to build up the strength to get out to the bars. The evening began on a fairly slow note, hanging out at the Mine Shaft with Jae, my friend JO from Hanover, and his friends. We were taking in Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1072210594503166982003-12-23T15:16:00.000-05:002003-12-23T15:17:33.076-05:00Christmas Inches Closer
Well, it would seem that the closer that we get to the big day, the more strange people wander into best buy. I realize that not many people will be reading this, as winter/Christmas break is in full effect. Thus, I will keep it nice and short as a special thank you to those dedicated few who sit through dial-up to get here.

Well, despite my reawakening from the Best Buy propaganda machine, I still have to work there. Today was a banner day at work for strange clientel. As the title of this entry suggests the first of these strange shoppers was litterally a giant. He was seven feet tall easily. It was actually rather frightening to see him look at laptops, towering over Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1071616487283872882003-12-16T18:14:00.000-05:002003-12-16T18:25:35.450-05:00Like something from a dream
Well, last night was an evening of excess. My good friend Ray and I, in anticipation of the release of The Return of the King, decided to watch both The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Two Towers in their entirety. This is a daunting feat in and of itself, but factor in that the versions that we watched were the extended editions, and you have a marathon of movies.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1071259060503913222003-12-12T14:57:00.000-05:002003-12-12T14:58:28.360-05:00The Best Dinner EVER
Well, I finally got to eat at one of those fancy downtown steakhouses. The name of the joint was Mortons, and I salivate at the thought of it. Wednesday was my moms birthday, I was going to take her out to dinner, but my Aunt Sherry beat me to the punch, and I must say, thank God. Granted Bravo would have been good, but it wouldn't have been the best dinner EVER.

Well, the work week continues. People come into Best Buy, and leave with computers. Sunrise, sunset, blah blah blah. On an interesting note today, I ran into someone I went to school with (hanover) today. I am not sure what his real name is, but everyone used to call him Ruby, Ruby Pubee. He wanted to purchase the really cheap emachines peice of crapola.

Well, it has been a fairly eventful week. With work, Christmas shopping who would think that I would have time to get involved with other things. That's right, I joined a volunteer organization. It is called Indy Ambassadors, they are basically a temp service for non-profit organizations.

Well, I woke up this morning on Missy's living room couch with that where the hell am I feeling. I got up promptly as my long tedious day at best buy was about to grind to a start. I had the unique pleasure today of explaining to my manager that he had under-trained me for the position and that if I was to continue it would be really helpful if he would show me howMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1069789169059716642003-11-25T14:39:00.000-05:002003-11-25T14:39:59.513-05:00Wendy's, Masturbation, and God
Well, it has been a fairly lackluster week thus far, but that is all about to change. The reason for this is that tomorrow is my Birthday! Hoo Aahh! The day after that is Thanksgiving, and the day after that is busiest shopping day of the year, and I will be smack in the middle of it selling computers at best buy at 6 am. Anyhow, those of you that have wished Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1069485026080799822003-11-22T02:10:00.000-05:002003-11-22T02:42:58.700-05:00Back in Blog
Well, that was a lame rip off of a title (see this archive). Anyhow, I felt it a fitting title for two reasons: one I haven't written a blog entry in over a week, a personal record, and two I was in the room when Yoosuk wrote that entry and as I recall it was really the first I had heard of blogging.

Well, for once I am going to really stray from work related topics. Everything is so up in the air right now, that even I have no idea what is going on. So, what I am here to discuss today is this health craze that is sweeping the nation right now. I'm sorry, its not a health craze, its a get thin craze.

Well, tonight was the night. I finally hit the Karaoke stage again. But like the washed up rock star that has gone from playing stadiums to playing the outdoor ampitheater at Kng's Island, it was a bittersweet return. This was no Bear's ladies and gentlemen, no this was the American Spirit lounge.

Well, welcome back to the exciting and ongoing drama of my employment. I started yesterday at my new job. I must say, I like it. It is not as much fun as Advantage Cable or anything, but hey, what is? Then again, unlike Advantage Cable, I do not fear that the people behind the door in the bathroom are going to jump out and kill me.

Well, sadly, I had to leave the JAC party at midnight on Saturday, as anyone I talked to must have known because I couldn't shut up about it. Yes, and I still can't. I had to work this morning at 7 am. It wasn't as bad this time though, the entire meeting took place in the computer department, and the guys there (believe it or not, but its true) are cooler than the Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1067633685448360892003-10-31T15:54:00.000-05:002003-10-31T15:54:44.663-05:00Special Pre-weekend Edition
Well, first of all, happy Halloween to everyone. Speaking of scary stuff, I am still working at Best Buy. I've been thinking about it though, and I am going to stop using Best Buy material in these things. Unless of course something really interesting happens. That said, I need to think of a new source for material.

Well, there comes a time in every man's life when he has to just stand up and say, "hey Best Buy, I quit!" For me that day will be tomorrow. You see, this morning I had a job interview with a company called Intelex. Its not the best job in the world, being only temporary, but it is $13 bucks an hour, and that ain't bad from where I am standing.

Well, it has been a while since I have posted. I apologize for that, but really you should feel sorry for me, because if I am not bloggin' then nothing is going on. Last night, however, was a good time. It was Wednesday so naturally I went to Average Joe's. The thing is, Ray was closing at Blockbuster, and, well, Jae works till 11:30 m-f.

Well, yesterday was not all that eventful, I woke, tooled around for awhile, tooled around for awhile longer, and got my grandma's car washed. The high point of the day was definately the trip to the Mexican Restaurant. Now this wasn't Don Pablos, that is not a Mexican restaurant, it is an evil corporation that is out to decieve the american publicMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1066334073598105652003-10-16T14:54:00.000-05:002003-10-16T14:54:33.710-05:00Goats, and Kung Fu Villains
Well, as most of you already know, the Cubs lost last night. The atmosphere at Average Joe's was pretty somber, so I can only imagine what it must have been like in Chicago. I am sure no one took the loss quite as hard as that dude who caught the ball. He is going to need to change his name and get some plastice surgery or something.

For some reason the spirit moved me this evening to look at the pictures I have stored on my computer. I haven’t done this for a while, so it seemed a good idea. I realized as I looked through them how much my life has changed just in the last few months. I looked like a different person; much happier, much more optimistic.

Well, as many of you may know, I graduated from Hanover College last May. The fact that I can't get a real job aside, there is at least one perk to having gone to school there. It is called homecoming as an alumnus. The day started off with some light drinking in the parking lot outside the football stadium (more like field). There were guys there that I hadn't Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1065143010580979652003-10-02T20:03:00.000-05:002003-10-02T20:05:55.183-05:002 Movies, 2 Rooms
Well, this is a decieving title, because I actually watched like 4 or 5 movies on the day in question (Tuesday). I watched the Two Towers in its entirety early in the day, then went to see a sneak preview of School of Rock with Ray (which was actually a pretty good movie) that evening. On the way out of the theater, however, I recieved a call from Jae saying that our friend Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1064848503256853032003-09-29T10:15:00.000-05:002003-09-29T10:17:15.696-05:00Bars, Brats, and Bee Stings
Well, it has been a good weekend. Clearly, from my last entry I got pretty wasted on Thursday. Rest assured, dear reader, I did not slack off on Friday either. After walking off the hangover I earned from all of those shots, I drove Jae back to Indy and then returned to Bloomington. It was just that kind of weekend (lots of driving).

Well, tonight was a very interesting night. I travelled many many a mile to end up in b-town. If it is not already obvious, I am drunk. HA AH. Yeah. Alright. Anyhow, I spent most of the night driving to Louisville and back. Sympathy? Thank you. I was on the road for 5 hours at least in order to take care of some business.

Well, today has been the first day since last Thursday that I really had time to assess my job hunt status. As regular readers will know, I have been unemployed since last May when I graduated from college. Apparently that was supposed to give me an advantage when it came to finding gainful employment.

Well, sometimes in a man's life he just gets the urge to go west. Yesterday was one of those days for me. So I packed up the trusty conastoga Dodge, and headed west to the wild, savage filled land of Illinois. With Jae riding shotgun I drove out the dusty sun-parched trail known to some as I-74 west.

Well, as some of you may know, my grandfather has been very sick recently, and has been living in hospice care. This morning around 5 am he passed away.

Well, it has been an uninteresting week. Updates: Still unemployed, still broke, still not lovin' police. Thats right, my ongoing search for gainful employment continues at its steady unsuccessful pace. Right now the best bet I have is at blockbuster video. I have a degree for Christ' sake, and I am crossing my fingers that I can get a job at blockbuster!

Well, well nothing, I don't think I would actually start this entry with "well," but hey, here's to keeping tradition alive.
Recently, my good friend and trusted fellow hater of the presently available prequel starwars movies Ray turned me on to an interesting site...well (now that is an appropriate "well." It fits into the context of what I am saying. Not that that Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1063051619403527322003-09-08T15:06:00.000-05:002003-09-08T15:06:59.466-05:00Warning: Do not read if you are in a good mood
Well, it has not been the most exciting of weeks. I must admit, I try to keep this blog full of kooky things that I complain about, but there has just been a drought of kookiness in my life recently. It has been a busy week, however. For those of you who don't already know (don't you love the way I always write like I have a large audience, when Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1062633841157970372003-09-03T19:04:00.000-05:002003-09-03T19:27:16.973-05:00No Net Noteriety, and Bizarro Baffles Braincase
Well, apparently if you enter "Pawulich" on a google search, the first few entries have to do with Ray or his immediate family. Likewise, if you enter "Yoosuk," the first few entries list Yoosuk's blog and web page. I read about this on their respective blogs (well, maybe I heard it from Yoosuk himself), and I even tried it. It worked. So, I Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1062464497887930402003-09-01T20:01:00.000-05:002003-09-01T22:47:06.426-05:00The End is Nigh, and Don't Sleep on Leather Couches
Well, Saturday night was a fun night out in Broadripple. Ray and I hit up a number of bars and had some excellent conversations. But after a night in Broadripple, I decided to just go ahead and crash at Ray's place. Now don't get the idea that I am unappreciative of Ray's hospitality, because nothing is further from the truth. All I am Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1062261256897698702003-08-30T11:34:00.000-05:002003-08-30T11:41:54.400-05:00Smoking and Drinking on a Friday Night, at the Hospital
Well, it was an interesting Friday night to say the least. If you haven't picked up on it, most of the evening was spent at the hospital. But what a wild time at the hospital. At first there were five of us: me, my mother, my aunt, my cousin, and my grandma. The party started when my aunt remembered that she had left her martini in the Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1062109586884293212003-08-28T17:26:00.000-05:002003-08-28T17:37:40.793-05:00Karaoke, Dancing, and Fun with Mexican Food
Well, lets end the controversy right now. If you have read Ray's blog, then you know that someone puked in his car. That was me. Sorry, Ray, I don't remember it, but it sounded pretty shitty of me... With that off my chest, no pun intended, lets get down to business. Karaoke at Moe & Johnny's is pretty good. The selection of music is awesome, andMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1061795515007141282003-08-25T02:11:00.000-05:002003-08-25T02:11:55.063-05:00Kick Boxing, French Toast, and Michael Jackson
Well, it has been a good weekend. For one thing, I didn't go to any bars downtown. Yeah I should probably drop it about downtown, but damn, it can destroy a promising evening with a wave of its demented hand. Anyhow, as most of you know, Yoosuk has returned to his northern home in West Layfeyette (I can say that with confidence because if you Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1061579726800873152003-08-22T14:15:00.000-05:002003-08-22T14:15:26.830-05:00Downtown Strikes Back, and Destroys my post
Well. Doesn't this suck. I just wrote a really long, and very funny post. Trust me it was hilarious. Well, I lost it, it was stupid human error but I still blame it on downtown Indy. I mean come on, can you blame me? When was the last time you had a good time at a bar downtown? Well, unless you have been to Hollywood Bar & Filmworks my guess is Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1061510552806286302003-08-21T19:02:00.000-05:002003-08-21T19:02:32.780-05:00Karaoke Master Mike Strikes Back
Wow, three posts before anyone has probably even looked at this page. Just wanted to let people know that I have recently updated (recently being about ten minutes ago). If you are reading this while the post is fresh then look to the right and you will see that I have added some links. Thats right, the links to Yoosuk's Blog and Pictures of Stuff are both newMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705771.post-1061458405507549592003-08-21T04:33:00.000-05:002003-08-21T04:41:13.183-05:00Well, here we are again. It is much later in the evening, so late in fact that it has passed into the next day. Well, that isn't saying much, after all if you stay up till midnight it passes to the next day. How about this, its 4:20 am, does that do anything for ya'? Yeah...it was a fun night in Broadripple, free pool and cheap beer, always a quality combo.

I finally did it. I started a blog. Hell, I don't even really know what that is, but hey, everyone seems to have one so I should too. Yeah, follower. As you might have guessed, this is the first post. As such I am not really sure what direction this particular blog will take, I can only say that I will go where the spirit takes me. So, I guess this is where we, myself and whichever Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212321768429958350noreply@blogger.com
