Gone Fishin'

Well Nonsensical Nation, another year is behind us. It was easily my best year at UNH and I can honestly say every year has gotten better so I already can't wait for the fall. I made some great new friends, kept in touch with old ones and took downtown by storm once I turned the big 2-1. (Sorry bank account.) I have some really big plans for the end of the summer heading into the school year and I'm really excited to get started on that project. Let me say that this year will be my last at UNH (unless I go the grad school route which isn't completely ruled out yet) so I am planning on not holding back and giving it hell one last time. That being said, I'll be writing this on my own and I really can't say what will become of this blog this time next year. I do have plans for my own blogging future and that will become apparent as next semester approaches. However, we have a long summer ahead of us and much like last year I don't plan on blogging too much over vacation. I'll check in from time to time if I experience good stories or if any major UNH news happens. Before I go I do have a few shout-outs to give that I missed or was to busy with classes to pay attention too. The UNH men's Volleyball team captured the DIAA National Championship earlier this semester and the Women's Track and Field team took first place at the New England Regional Tournament. University of No Hardware no more, with respect to the 85 Women's Lacrosse team and 1998 Women's Hockey (wasn't a NCAA sport at the time). 

I'm gone fishin' for the summer UNH, have fun and keep in touch. I'll be checking in, but see you all next fall for one last year long bash. That is it for now. We may only have about a half-hour left on earth, so I'm heading to my secret bomb shelter and curling up in the fetal position. 

And now I leave you with my ultimate summer jam. This one is for all you readers and for all the kids who heard this blasted at midnight throughout the semester. See ya next year gang.

Stay classy, not UMassy.

Napkin Notes

Today I wrote my first napkin note since I got violently ill after eating chicken at Philbrook during my freshman year. I took a picture of the note I wrote today, but it couldn't be read because my camera phone sucks. My roommate also took a picture because his phone is way better then mine, but I wasn't able to get in onto my laptop... anyways, the note read something like this:

Dear UNH Dining,

If you really care about sustainability and the environment then you would NOT serve cod nuggets, due to the current state of the stock. (Meaning there aren't enough cod in the ocean to sustainably be fished.) May I recommend haddock?

Anyways, I wrote it at Stillings this afternoon and I really hope they post and respond to it. Our oceans are dying people, I'm super cereal. They've been overfished for centuries and our current restrictions are not enough! More liberal hippy douche comments! (I'm not really this hippyish, I just want there to be more cod in the future. I like to fish.) 


Have a great Homecoming weekend!


Stay classy, not UMassy.

Symbolic Photographs of the Day

Nothing like the buzz of a powerline in your ear while fishing on a warm summer day. I feel like this picture really defines and symbolizes our culture. I'm thinking of calling this something like

"Industry meets Tranquility."

If I may steal a line from The Simpsons, I call this one "Man Versus Nature: The Road to Victory."

The only thing that beats casting a line out in the warm breeze after a long week of work is if you do that with a cooler full of cold beer.

Not the biggest fish of the day, but this little guy put up a helluva fight. Well, not really, it was just the only fish picture without a fisherman in frame.

Stay classy, not UMassy and have a nice Memorial Day weekend.
