Even though it's nine months too late, I'm excited to finally have my intermediate liscense! At last, I've found a shred of independence. No more calling, asking, pleading for rides. I can keep a steady job. I can get to where I need to go at any time as long as i have gas in the tank.
It's like they took the bars from my cell. After being locked in a cage for so long, my captor has handed me the key.
It rocks. The whole deal, having my liscense, car, etc.
I took the first step to pimping my ride the other day: chrome tire tube caps. Cause I'm awesome.

March Madness!!!1
It's that time of the year! During the month of march it's time for nothing but college basketball. The entire country collides, filling out countless brackets, predicting the fate 64 groups of young men. The winner is declared the king of men's college basketball, and untill that title is distributed, bajillions of pairs of eyes are glued to the screens of TV's across the nation. Some tuned in for the sake of basketball, others just to see if they can choose the right winner.
This year, being the forgetful guy that I am, I forgot to fill out a bracket. :(
However, this is how my bracket would look:
UK in the first round, UK in the second round, in the sweet sixteen, elite eight, final four, AND in the finals. It's been pretty obvious that they've got what it takes, and it would be incredible to see such a young team take it all. A rotation that includes four freshman who, just last year, were spread across the country eating lunch almost every day in a highschool cafeteria. Now they're flying across the nation to play the best college teams in america.
Plus, I love the cats, and of course I want them to win it all.
Also: I'm calling it. 12th seeded cornell over 5th seeded Temple. That's the 5/12 upset this year.

Silly
What does it mean to be silly? Well...
"Silly" is defined by princeton.edu as ludicrous and foolish. Well, what does that mean? I guess it means something that's irregular or unconventional. Something that you wouldn't expect, but not bad or negative in essence.
So let's give an example. It would be silly to paint yourself blue and wear white trousers and go to class. That just doesn't make sense, it's not fashionable (unless you're a smurf), and alot of people would probably give you strange looks. So, it would be silly to attend class dressed as a smurf. Note that it would not be silly to dress as a smurf if you're attending a meeting of smurf-vestites.
Does that mean you should never attend class dressed as a smurf? OF COURSE NOT. Always go to class dressed as a smurf! If you can stand the attention, and can manage to keep out of trouble, it's a great idea. In my opinion, embarassment is the best way to build character.
Just look at this guy! He's doing great!
Go for it!

Life Incarcerated
In-school suspension sucks. Sure, there are nicer ways to word that, but I'd like to do my loathing justice. I suppose it's what i deserved for being late to school 14 times, but good god. I hope I never have to endure anything so torturous ever again.
As I served my sentence, my schedule was as follows: Wake up, perform my morning routine, make my way to school, and sit. For hours. Seven, to be exact. Finally, at the last bell, I was free to do whatever I wanted.
So, for those seven hours of every day I was suspended, I spent every waking moment regretting that I ever came to school late. Hahaha. Then Tommy Boroughs woke up from the most beautiful dream he ever experienced.
What I actually did during my imprisonment was a mixture of reading (AToTC all the way, baby), staring at the wall of my tiny little cubicle, and making as much small talk as possible with Ms. Henry, my overseer.
A cold chill travels the length of my spine every time I think of my time spent in the aptly named alternative learning center. And I can be sure that if I'm ever running late again, I'm calling in sick. I have 8 excused absences to my name, and I'd much sooner use them than go through that again.
Seacrest, out.

If a dog could give advice:
He would probably tell me to slowwwwwwww my rolllllllll.
It seems like i get too caught up with minor things alot of the time. I would probably be way less stressed out if I could just get my priorities straight. One good way to do that? Take a chill pill. When you pause and get everything in order, it's much easier to get your ducks in a row.
See? This guy doesn't have a care in the world.
We should all take a page from him. Life would be alot more fun if you could look back and not have to wish you had done something different. So take it easy, think things through, so that you make decisions you wont regret.
Im so preachy.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Winter is my favorite season. We all love winter, I think.
When it's winter, it snows and you get snowdays out of school, which is like my favorite part. (And)Where there's snow, there's snowmen.
While there's snow and ice on the ground it's a good idea to drive slow.
When you can't stand the cold, it's time to go inside.
What is snow? Well, it's rain that's been frozen into tiny ice crystals.
Why wouldn't you enjoy the great season of winter?
WBy the way, tomorrow is snowbreak #2!
WThats me, being excited that we get a snow day tomorrow.
Woohoo!

Snow day confirmation
Thursday, January 7th 2010 WAS, in fact, one of the GREATEST snow days ever (as i predicted it would be).
Here's how my day went:
7:00 AM: Woke up, looked out the window, checked school cancelations, said, "Yesssssssss," and went back to bed.
11:59 AM: Woke up again, ate some cereal, got bundled up, left house with friends.
12:20 PM: Went sledding
12:33 PM: Snowball fight
1:30 PM: Played pool, drank hot cocoa
6:30 PM: went to the New China Buffet with friends, had fun, was too loud
And some other things happened that I don't feel like mentioning, like making snow angels which must have happened 20 times that day.
Thanks, god, jack frost, the weather man, or whoever it is that makes it snow. You made my day!
