Guess whose back? Guess whose back?

That’s right boys and girls, I have made my triumphant return to Carbondale. And while the event was not marked with a parade, the journey was marked by screaming kids on airplanes. So, that’s why I like driving…now I remember.

The flight home was a two parter. And considering I had an hour to kill in Denver, the landing was slightly rough and I just had to listen to screaming kids for a few hours…well, that equation has only one answer.

Beer. (Here’s hoping that that is the most scientific picture of beer you ever see.)

One of the great thoings about being 21, and this is coming from a guy that did not drink before, is more or less that you can drink. (If you get that joke, you are my new best friend.) What I mean by that is, you just got off a plane, you’re going to summer school…there’s probably more screaming kids on the next plane…and you’re the only person in Denver International wearing a sweatshirt. (it felt nice in Seattle…not so much the 97 degree Denver). So…grab a Sam Adams, and life will be good.

No, I did not get trashed, or even a little tipsy. I had one beer, it was good. And we continued on to Saint Louis.
(Click each word for an equally rewarding moment in Rams history!)

That flight was very smooth, but with screaming kids. Beviet.

Upon arrival, one roomate came into the airport, while the other circled around so he could avoid spending money on parking. Whisch was all well and good, but it ended in this conversation.

Me: Where are you at?
Justin: At the baggage claim.
Me: No you’re not.
Justin: ET 14?
Me (scanning for the letters ET) Um…no. (Realizing that East Terminal fits in to the acryonym ET quite nicely) you’re at the East Terminal.
Justin: I went to the wrong terminal.
Me: Yeah you did.

Apeerently, whereas Jake told Justin to go in circles, Justin decided to do it Family Circus Style. After a little bit, we were well on our way to getting our of Missouri (remember my life goal is to not die there) and on our way to Jack in the Box.

Today was uneventful. I bought some bath mats so we could not use a towel anymore. In honor of the towel though, the matts are grey.

I also spent some time today locating the NBA on NBC theme. For those of you who don’t know, that was one of the greatest sports themes ever. I will provide a link to it now…BAM! There’s actually a bunch of themes there. I don’t recommend the NBA on NBC 2002 version. And under no circumstances should you ever listen to the NFL on NBC theme.

The World Cup starts tomorrow. When the United States plays, I’m going to have the Team America theme on stand by. When we score…America F*** Yeah! (they don’t start play until the 12th)

So, for those of you who are wondering what Gowin is up to…I can assure you of this. He’s watching the World Cup. Take my word for it.

Well, class starts Monday.
I’m taking Writing for Mass Media (I don’t know if that’s my text book, but it came up when I googled the class name.)

In other news, I got a 4.0 in spring. Go me. I rock. (that has absolutely nothing to do with me or getting straight A’s. But…its awesome.)

Well, I hope you enjoyed another round of my life plus random pictures. (random plug, because I can…Boondocks the first season comes out July 25. Awesome!)

Yeah, I want to drive a zamboni,

Alan
