mirror lake jumper inner

One of the greatest college traditions is happening tonight. The mirror lake jump is happening at ohio state. I have one pretty good story about the event. My freshman year of college I was at sscc, so I didn't jump. My sophomore year of college, I was living in the dorms, but didn't go. My roommates were not all that much fun, so we just kind of stayed in and heard other people talk about it. My junior year, I had an afro and went and dove in and had a great laugh. The northwood guys, by which I mean vegasbob, nasamatt, scatterbrain, hellboy, and CPAterry, stole a grocery cart from giant eagle or somewhere. So we got good and liquored up and carted in the lake jackass style. It was glorious. I did nearly lose my glasses, and got my afro wet. I literally was swinging my hands around in the water when they fell in them before sinking to the bottom. It was a very close call. The next day me and vegasbob went to cleveland to catch a cavs game then drove to ann arbor on saturday to tailgate at the michigan game. Then we went to canada and drank because the rest of the crew wasn't yet 21 at the time. My senior year I was done student teaching but had moved back home until the start of winter quarter and didn't go. My second senior year I had a girlfriend and was a bit sick so I just went and watched. All good times.

I have begun to ponder what the phrase "you meet decent people in decent places." I always took this to mean that a good quality person was not going to be somewhere after eleven at night. Decent places for me would mean church activities, festivals that only happen during the day, an outdoor concert. You know, things that don't require alcohol to attend. I am still debating if this applies to the internet dating scenario. Many people on there are good, faith based people. Some of them may be people that you wouldn't normally associate with. If I want to meet a good person outside of the internet medium, I would be going to church, or being seen in public at sporting events. I don't consider a bar a good option to meet people. My agenda when I go to a bar is to keep drinking as much as I can. This is why I avoid bars as much as possible now. I'm not gonna meet someone there and hold a conversation with them. I am going to drink and regret it the next day. I haven't been to a bar since the end of august and don't really miss it. If it wasn't for my brother and his 21st birthday, I wouldn't have been to a bar since last spring when scatterbrain told me they were going on a bar crawl in the german village in c-vegas. We only went to two bars.
