SNEAK PEAK
It's Not Gossip...It's The Truth
1. We're baaaack!
2. New relationship OFFICALLY announced.
3. East/West Schism ended by diaspora.
4. Some actual news
5. Enjoy the Holiday
1. WE"RE BAAAACK!
Hello good friends and lovers long forgot. This a quick sneak preview of what you can hopefully expect in some of your inboxes or blogs. For those of you unfamiliar with this let me welcome you back to the fastest growing online periodical, It's Not Gossip...It's The Truth. The original intention and a brief history of the ING will be covered in the first offical issue. This is just a sneak preview of what you can all be looking forward to in January. Or if you are an oppressor of the press, you will be dreading us, because we will be triumphant once again. The voice of the people will not be silenced. And by people I really mean our editorial staff, which has expanded dramtically since our last issue.
2. New relationship is "OFFICIAL"
Straight from the most reliable source of online dating comes word that a relationship that many insiders had been suspecting to happen offically exists. Facebook.com Newsfeed has just announed Aaron Morey and Kristin Jesuits are IN A RELATIONSHIP! Sources close to the couple say they knew there was something abound but they were never really sure til they saw the words in plain english on their computer screen during the daily stalking. ING wishes the best to this happy couple during their first two weeks of "officially" being a couple.
3. Holy Hesycasts!
One of the most frequently reported events in the original ING was the division within the community between East and West. This does not mean the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church. The divide was between members living in Mashuda/Odonell and those in Cobeen, Carpenter Tower and Dwayne Wade Straz Jr. Tower Hall. Negotiations continually fell through the cracks and an Alaskan dictatorship stood between the chaos and the opportunity for real peace. Well since that time the schism has been ended. Unfortuantely it has been replaced by a diaspora of sorts. No one on the original e-mail list for the ING is really quite sure where anyone else lives. They are pretty sure they are not dead but former community members are spread all over this campus. North south, east, west, hell, people are turning up everywhere! More attention will be granted to this story as the ING goes to print.
4. Actual news, seriously we couldn't even make this up!
The AP reported recently on a Wisconsin man who accidentally struck a dear in the road with his truck. Not an uncommon event in rural Wisconsin, except for the fact that the deer had SEVEN (7) legs! Upon further investigation it was determined that the deer was actually two deer that failed to separate early in the embryo stage. This was evident by the presence of both male and female sex organs. When asked to comment about the deer the Wisconsinite had this to say, "Sure was tasty." Seriously who would want to make this up?
5. Enjoy the Holiday
We here at the ING follow the lead of Marquette University to grant attention to the special holiday of this time of the year. We would encourage everyone to remember what this time and break is really for. Not just for relaxing but spending some much needed time with the family, especially around the lights. Happy Hanakah everyone!
And thats the news for this your special sneak preview of all that you can look forward to in 2007!
You'll Believe A Man Can Lie.
Ladies and Gentlemen take my advice, remember to tell those you love that you care about them, and couldn't possibly imagine your life without them. Make sure you tell God how grateful you are for them as well.
Sometimes you feel like a post, sometimes you don't...
I feel like want to add a post right now but I really can't think of anything humorous about which to type right now. But that never stopped me before has it?
Lets go deep shall we?
Today is my birthday, thats right I have been on this planet for 22 years now. As I get older, birthdays begin to mean less. I mean its cool that everyone is nice to you and you don't have to pay for food or anything, but seriously I can drive, I can go to R-rated movies, I can go to R-rated bars, what else is there really?
So I find myself reflecting more on my past. This day is less about me than it is for the people who love me. The most obvious example would be Aaron Morey. This is his favorite day of the year. Its really the only day that he can wear that "Tommy is my god" T-shirt that he had made on the internet with a picture of me on the front.
No just kidding, I actually think about my parents a lot. They probably remember the day of my birth a lot better than I do. A little known, or sometimes known, I don't know, fact about me. I actually had a twin brother named Timmy who died at birth. Yes I know you're thinking, TWO TOMMYS! wow. Well it's fun to think about. But at the same time I cannot help but wonder how things would have been different had Timmy lived. I also think about how easily it could have been me that died and he would be the one sitting here typing a blog.
Now the purpose of this is not to be morbid or sorrowful on a day that should be celebratory, because really its my birthday you should be rejoicing that you know me let alone I let you read my blog.
I cannot imagine the emotions that raced through my parents that day 22 years ago. How happy and overjoyus they must have been to meet me. But at the same EXACT same time, they lost a child. I am not sure how much they think about it, but to me thats tough. So I thank them for being strong and I hope they are able to take comfort in the knowlege that Timmy is in heaven.
How do I know that? Timmy is a Saint in my book. I used to think he was my guarding angel but then I learned we don't actually turn into angels. But he is probably really tight with my gurdian angel ya know?
Timmy is a saint because he gave his life that I might live. You could argue this with me if you wanted to, but you would be a jerk. Think about it. It could have just as easily been me that suffocated on the embilical cord as it was Timmy. I am here for a reason. There is a reason God chose for me to live and Timmy to come home to Him so quickly. Timmy has got my back to this day I am sure. He knows there is an important reason for me to be here. The only problem is that I don't know what that reason is yet. But through the prayers of him and the other wonderful saints God has put in my life I am sure I will be okay.
So Happy Birthday Timmy, I love you bro. Thanks for always being there for me.
Ladies and gentlemen take my advice, you better be nice to me, it's my birthday!
