HAPPY BIRTHDAY
INNER CIRCLE!!!
Even though the first post came July 6 of 2006 (which was basically a rant by Williams about his discomfort with modern society & social networking - weirdo), the 2nd post came August 31, 2006 which is when Williams decided to invite us into his bizarro blogger world. It took a few weeks, but before we knew it, we were blogging machines (except for Butz who was initially kicked out because of his 0% attendance). The blog instigated the Chicago trip (for better or worse) and continued to keep us together over the past five years as we all spread out across the state/country/world. I must say, I truly believe we have all stayed closer together because of this blog. Even though some might not post as much as others, we are still held together by this website. Our thoughts have been circled among these 11 friends for 5 years, and had it not been for this site, this circle would look more like a flat line.
With that being said, let's take a look back on August 31, 2006...

...wtf is a blog?!?!
Thursday, August 31, 2006
Alright, I would like some feedback from my squad on this post, although it may require login registration.
I have an idea, so please, hear me out. Even you Lee.
Some of us have the luxury of maintaining communication through the glory of Fantasy Sports, yet it is not a linked, ubiquitous ring of friendship. Some of us are not interested in the part-time gig that is Fantasy games. Respectably so.
So I propose this: This. Yes, that is right. A blog.
To explain, I've seen and worked with people who maintain communication with their most intricate group of friends through a Blog. Just go to the site and read the latest publication from a dear friend. It bridges distancing friendships and keeps you in touch with your best crew.
My thoughts are to have free range of posts, be it about their job, a funny story, a hook up, masturbation, meerkats or women named Korvette. At the same time, I think it would be a little more interesting to encourage each contributor with a topic to post upon every once in a while. Like their beat.
For example, Lee posts a poltical commentary once a week. Kevin posts about football or the pangs of Houston humidity. Faust posts his movie review of Little Miss Sunshine. Clint posts about an emerging corporation. Chambers posts on sports or a rave. Weiss posts on a recent Italian-Zambian rapper he's discovered. Mazur posts on new styles of white tennis shoes. Lubahn posts on the rigors of diaper changing and three hours of sleep. I post about saying the wrong thing to a female.
I think you understand. Personally, there's no one I like to read about more than my friends.
Lastly, as I've applied for jobs recently, I've provided writing samples to each company I've visited. All have been interested in my writing capabilities to some degree and are impressed with handing them clips, of any type.
My point is that you are going to write until you die. All of you. Almost daily.
All right I'm trying to sell. Whatever. I think it'd be cool to have a communication hub for all my friends. I hope you do too.
Hope to read from you.
Love,
A-Chub

Yes communications are good. Thanks for the invite Williams. The funny thing is that I too have been contemplating a myspace account and was thinking that my out going qoute would be "The war in Iraq has made the world safer and more stable". I would like to post some political stuff where everyone could read it. Or more people than I hear it with now, ie no-one.
Interesting information for anyone who cares (just a disclaimer so read on brown). Guess what I have realized this year? I learned that it is easier to be a socialist when you don't have an income and just sit around getting high one or three times a day. At least I read that somewhere or something.
That does not mean that I have lost respect for my old boheiman ways. It only means that I come home late in the day and feel the life not ripped out of me, just slowly sanded out. Which is where you guys come in. Ah friendship.
ps. I got a myspace account. My name is Ideotechnical. Props to all who know why.
I concur. Communication is good. Although I will not sign up for myspace. I'm not sure why. I think I fear being found by old allys turned enemies. There are a lot of people out there that I ended communication with for a reason. And the last thing I want is them showing up on my myspace page with a bunch of superficial questions about "What I'm doing?" while they quietly judge me. Wow. Blogs bring out some demons.
Like the bear I started my own blog (you basically have to to sign up.) So I think we can visit each other's blogs and post comments.
Love, Faust of "Faust's House Blog" located at http://adamfaust.blogspot.com/
Well surprise surprise, Lee has been a socialist since his junior year of high school. Although former roommates could attest to that after asking him to buy the next round. His casual nod and request to stay right here always left me wondering if he would actually come back or if I should go ahead and give him my money for our next round of drinks. Love you dude.
Williams, congrats on the new job and location. I am sure your former roommates in Tennesse are sad to lose the three way split on the bills. I think I'm down for New Years. I'm sure we can embarrass ourselves in any city.
My big fear with the blog arena is the opposite of Faust's fear. I know non of you all will quitely be judging. In fact, I doubt anyone will pass up the opportunity to judge out loud. Looking forward to it fellas.
Lordy lordy look who's forty. Lee is gonna be that middle aged man driving around in a 5 year old civic with about eleven bumper stickers. All the stickers will be carrying the same theme. The theme being something along the lines of "Out with government in with cool" "Taxes are for pussies" "I didn't vote for him" "Turn them off. TV's own You" "Sharks stole my baby, where's my peyote?" I love you Kid A
Hey brown remember when Lee & Brad fought in our disco kitchen over the war. AMAZING. only time in my life I've witnessed Lee act like faust.
cheers-
Well hello there my so called friends...just playin fellas. I am officially popping my blogger cherry. I really wasn't into creating my own b/c well i didn't want to put in the effort. Now I am here and loving it as I spend many lonely days with the most vulgar and dirtiest men on the planet. I had a guy tell me a story that involved the phrase "fuckity fuck fuck...fuck those motha fuckers" only to end with "well fuck me in my ass those fucking bastards". Classy.
I am getting this tingling sensation in my pants and it's not the herpes...i mean...shit
This is a perfect means of communication. Good job A-dub Hub but names gotta change. Anyway I am going to walk around the boat aimlessly and see if I can pick up any other interesting phrases to tell my boss.
Sincerely,
The Bone
(don't know where the nickname came from but it's growing on me like genital warts...my mom would be so proud)
Myspace is great for networking and making yourself look cool. Plus there is soo much 'vag' out there its ridiculous. To date, I have fucked 56 bitches from my friends list. Nothing tastes sweeter than intergalactic pussy...
