Root Beer Kegger

Have you all come down off your sugar highs yet?

Last night was the first ever AGO Root Beer Kegger, and all fingers point to success.

Thank you to everyone who came out and drank root beer or took on the world in energy-drink pong. MVPs of the night go to Moulin Rouge and Jumanji for absolutely destroying a Burton-Mayer team. Personally, I give props to anyone who could actually stand to put that Full Throttle stuff in their mouth. A bit too much "bleh" if you ask me.



Puck's brother, the aptly named DP3, kept the music going in the backyard. Dude is backed by yours truly.

And that's how we kick off spring break. Finish out your mid-terms and get into a week of hanging out. It couldn't come soon enough.

Poop d'etat

"Peace is not the absence of conflict, it's the presence of justice." -- Harrison Ford, Air Force One

On Sunday, our house was the setting for another chapter in the on-going war between the canine and the Arab.  I am talking about Rocko and Shox, respectively.

Now, the acts committed by Shox toward Rocko are of no importance to the story.  All that needs to be known is that they were heinous, despicable acts that can only be described as preemptive and full of spite.

Henceforth, our championed hound Rocko took it upon himself to settle the score and end this battle the victor.  While Shox was away for Easter, Rocko noticed that Shox's desk chair was in perfect position next to Shox's desk.  Now, this feng shui has occurred numerous times before to no avail.  But this time was different.

Rocko then hoisted himself up onto the chair, then up onto the top of the desk.  After checking  to make sure the coast was clear, he took the battle position.  Putting his weight on his front paws, Rocko squatted and dropped his mark multiple times on Shox's desk, keyboard, and even into a desk drawer.  It was pre-meditated and intentional.

However, this should not be mistaken for a barbarious act of terrorism, much like those of Shox that we will not utter here.  Rocko acted out of self-defense and retaliation to defend the honor which is rightfully his.  Our hearts go out to Rocko for having to act in such a strong manner, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

This was Rocko declaring in one voice: "I will not go quietly into the night!  I will not vanish without a fight!  I'm going to live on.  I'm going to survive.  Today I celebrate my INDEPENDENCE DAY."

And that's just what he did.

God is alive.

Happy Easter to everyone out there.

I'll keep this short, but I hope that everyone has a blessed day as we remember the day Christ rose for us.



Be sure to go to church for a proper celebration. AGO was represented at 6 am at the Rock by myslef and Shade. How good it is to start your Easter Sunday with the Lord.

Call your family, tell your friends. Celebrate!

Free at last

So... for the second straight day I have slept in past 10:30am. And no classes were missed. Glorious.

It's a bit of a weird day to be honest. It's the first Saturday of the semester where we have no event. Some of us don't know what to do with themselves. A few have gone to the beach, some to the Aquaplex. A strong contingent are hitting up Call of Duty IV, while your faithful blogger is enjoying some music in his quarters.

Sit back, relax... enjoy the day off. They don't come around too often.

My apologies

School, class, college.

These things get in the way of me updating more often.

Much like tonight.

Late night cravings

I went out to the front room at about 1:45am to eat some chips and salsa that had been so gloriously been provided to me by my parents. My little bro, Shonen, came in to join me from the active room as well. I turned on the TV, and what did I see? None but one of my favorite films of all time: INDEPENDENCE DAY.

For those of you who don't know, I've seen ID4 almost 50 times since its theatrical release in 1996. However, something was different about this showing. There were ADDED SCENES! Added! Not only did I get to watch the film, but there was more film to watch! Gotta love re-edits that are actually done right. It was like watching a whole new, already awesome movie.

And so as I go to bed, I leave you with a stirring speech from our finest president, President Thomas Whitmore as he stands on the brink of the greatest undertaking in all of human history.



Freedom is not free.

Parents Day recap + sports foreshadow

Aside from some weird weather last night, yesterday was also Parents Day at Alpha Gamma Omega. We had a great turnout, so big that we had to do things in turn at certain points of the day. It was a total testament to the growth of the house. We had well over 50 people at the house, actives and parents included.

Many parents were very interested in the state of the house and it was such a blessing to hear how much they care about our ministry here.

Notable happenings:
-Armani's dog barking a big game at Rocko, then running away any time Rocko took a step towards her
-Banjo's little dog attacking my foot for no other apparent reason than convenience
-Shox calling his dad the rich old fool as a child

On a personal note, my parents said that they had a great time. Depending on my summer plans, all are welcome to come to la casa de Sequel this summer if they'd like. Just call me the day before.

UNLV fought back from being more than 10 points down to take out BYU by 15 points yesterday. Knowing that BYU is out of the conference tourney does help sooth the pain that the Aztecs are out, too.

For those of you waiting for next year's sports seasons, you will not want to miss the goose that I've got cooking. Big things happening in 2008-2009.

In case you didn't notice

It hailed in San Diego tonight.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Like Mr. Rogers says, it IS a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Go outside, to the Aquaplex, maybe even play a game of badmitton in your front yard.

One thing is for sure, don't be a pathetic procrastinator like me and have to sit in the RBR finishing an outline and answering homework questions.

I did get to devo out on the porch today, though. It was fantastic.

No sleep til Brooklyn.

FINALLY

At long last, Monsieur Crush has finally been awarded the glorious Grunion Tie.

His crime? I dare not type it here. But nothing like it has been heard of in the recent past.

It's been a long time coming, after many failed attempts by yours-truly and a few others.

And so for now, my favorite person award goes to Chops and Tux for delivering such devastating blows.

Sequel 252E

Who's the new guy?

If you look to the right, you'll notice a new name among the list of AGO-men blogs. It is none other than your favorite geologist, Jeremy "Ping" Jenson.

Click on over and see what is going on with our brother as he prepares for a new life in ministry.

It's good to be an Epsilon.

Return

Well, we're back on the Lindo again.

Thanks for sticking with me as I took a short "vacation" to Orlando, FL this weekend with Kix.

Unfortunately, I have the first part of a mid-term tomorrow, so I won't be able to go into detail about the weekend, seeing as how I have to study. But I assure you, you will not be left in the dark for long.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Open doors

What an awesome night it was with Kappa Delta! Catchphrase, Apples to Apples, Balderdash, BOWLING, and a barbeque. Recipes for brilliance.

We had an incredible time getting to know the girls, and from what we hear we were pretty good hosts. We are hoping that a good number will come to Bible study. God is too good.

Quill and I were kidnapped to an undisclosed location by three undisclosed assailants. If you have any information about this heinous act, please get in direct contact. Such acts must not go unnoticed.

Tomorrow night, Madame President Kix and I will be heading to Orlando, FL to attend a conference by Greek Intervarsity. Blogging should continue as normal, but if not, at least you know why. I care about my readers.

Time to clean my room and the kitchen. Come to Bible study!

A few notes to look over

First, happy birthday to our illustrious alum, Akira "Bert" Kosuge 209E. He has been an incredible asset to our fraternity and all of us actives have a great time when he's around. He is living proof of Fraternity for Eternity.

Second, we have a BBQ will the lovely ladies of Kappa Delta sorority tonight. We are very excited, as this is our first event with them. And since we are cooking, you know the food is going to be good. It's what we do best.

Oh, and get ready for the Crack Walk.

Homeward Bound + Razor ban

Guy Retreat has come and gone with a most relaxing success.

Nothing beats a weekend in God's creation. For me, quiet time out in the desert was the most rewarding it had ever been. A few questions answered, and a few choices made. Funny how it's easier to think when God is speaking right to you.

Wiffle ball is too much fun. The "old guys" (Beta Zetas and older) teamed up with the pledges to take on the rest of the active body. It came down to only a few runs. Wiffle ball should be in the Olympics.

Nikko and the cooking crew did a fantastic job providing two dinners for us. A fine night of carne asada and another of tri-tip. We weat well. Men take care of themselves when the situation arises.

I wish that everyone could have heard Reed's message over the weekend. Dude delivers the solid sermons.
