LOG Turns 10: A Look Back at that First Magical Night

Happy anniversary to LOG! Ten years ago today, four crazy motherf***ers made the harrowing 420-mile trek from Notre Dame to Gobbler's Knob and back again in under 24 hours. Despite no booze consumption and not wearing nearly enough layers, I think it's safe to say we had a pretty fun time that day.

And since then, I think we have all made really nice progress on our life goals, as stated in this blog's sidebar.

• Jimbo: Once a college boy. Now a grown-up man. Enjoys hockey, girls, and wearing funny hats. His goal is to find the Bee and restore him to his rightful position as Jimandi Corp SEO.
• Natalie: Dislikes many things. Requires that her pants be in tip-top shape. Enjoys horses, but not derbies. Wants to have her very own garden gnome when she grows up.
• Johnny: Mysterious party dude of the night. Enjoys triangles, squares, and the occasional pentagon. His life-long goal is to order an MGD at the 'Backer by pointing to his hat.
• Holly: Our very own robotics expert. Enjoys tag team wrestling, being a nerd, and goat noises. Hopes to one day own the largest novelty molar in the state of Texas.
• Debbie: Mexican beauty who loves to cook, clean, and wrestle with her favorite boys. Wants to some day win the world's most awesome nice girl award.
• Andy: Every legitimate club needs a bagpipes player and this is where Andy comes in. AKA Boney, this SEO enthusiast loves China and websites but despises both LOG and its blog.

• I have indeed restored the Bee to his rightful position as Jimandi Corp SEO.
• Natalie owns her very own garden gnome.
• Not sure if Johnny has ever ordered an MGD by pointing to his hat. Hmmm.
• Holly does own a pretty large novelty molar, though I'm not sure if it's the largest in the entire state of Texas.
• Debbie is still working on winning the world's most awesome nice girl award, but she's getting close!

On behalf of Punxsutawney Phil, "Happy Groundhog Day to all. And to all a good night."

Six Years Later...

Well, Natalie and I are married. And we have a kid. Big things chopping at ole LOG, I suppose you could say. In other news, Vinny is having his bachelor party this weekend in St. Louis. I chose not to go, because... St. Louis? Really?

Hello, Guys?

Is this thing still on? Looks like we completely slept through 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. Well, I'm back at least. So what happened in 2006? Well, three of our members graduated from college; three of us moved to Chicago; at least one of us got a brand new American Express card; and Notre Dame went 10-2 during the regular season. Overall, a very good year.

So how about the first quarter of 2007? Well, one big groundhog-related event took place: Phil failed to see his shadow on February 2. So winter ended six weeks early! So why is it snowing in Chicago right now? :-/

More States

Since making this post back in April, I've visited two more states, Virginia and Kansas. I've also been to DC now, too! So, my visited states count is up to 31. Hip hip hooray. Here's my new fancy map to prove it:

College Football

I don't know if you guys have noticed or not, but college football season is underway. There was a really good game on tonight between the Pitt Panthers and the Ohio Bobcats. Wow, Pitt really sucks. Palko threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. Sure makes Notre Dame's win last week look much less impressive now that we know Pitt sucks, eh? Well, that said, we got two big games coming up tomorrow -- Notre Dame - Michigan at the Big House and then Texas - Ohio State at the 'Shoe. And let's not forget Rice - UCLA at the Rose Bowl. I'll be there! So, anyway, in case you can't get ahold of me to talk college football, you can always check out this sweet new college football website. Enjoy!

BTW... check out the time I posted this at. WHOOOOOOOA! I gotta go get some of that!

Well, I Guess I'm Christian

This test that I just finished proves it. Here are my results:

Christianity		83%
Buddhism		42%
agnosticism		42%
Judaism		38%
Satanism		25%
Paganism		25%
Hinduism		17%
Islam		17%
atheism		13%

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

States

Sweet. I'm glad to see how everyone was really upset when they found out that I had shut down this site but now that I put it back online, still no one posts to it.

In a what will surely turn out to be futile attempt to breathe some life back into this "blog" I am showing you all (ya'll) this map of the states to which I have been. My count is up to 29. Maybe I'll visit Kansas this summer. I've never been there. :-/
