Song of the Week: Dave Matthews Band - Say Goodbye
No poll this week.
 
March 30, 2003 - week number forty
Ah, well the weekend is drawing to a close, and last night was generally good. Steve-O and I had a pretty good chat in Megan's driveway (mind you--we were in seperate cars talking out the windows).. but still. We then proceeded to CVS where we bought chairs, and after that to Ashley's. We watched Back to the Future Part III, which is an excellent third movie in an excellent trilogy, if I do say so myself (and I do). As far as other news, there really isn't any at the moment, so there you have it. End of update.
 
Image of the Day

I had been trying to find an IOTD all day, when low and behold, in my inbox appears an e-mail filled with images from Chelsea, or more accurately, from Jackie. But yeah, any time you see an interesting image, feel free to send it over to ross@therosser.com.

"I can't say any more than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath."
 
March 31, 2003 - march on march off
Dah, what a day; I find myself being in a terrible mood throughout all of school. It's like it's a vice and I'm slowly getting crushed. The only thing saving my sanity at the moment is doing things that amuse me, like buying chairs with Steve-o at CVS and bringing them into work to create a more "comfortable atmosphere". I'm just trying to find things to keep me together for another 18 days til spring break.

April 2, 2003 - happy birthday trevor
Well, the April Fools update seemed to be a success, complete with a couple phone calls from concerned visitors. Anyways, it's a new day, but with little news. I am having some issues with things at the moment, issues I need to sort out and at the moment do not want to discuss, at least not on a public website. But yeah, hopefully more news will come soon. It's the Trev-man's birthday today, though I didn't see him in school to wish him one.

Now it has come to my attention that I don't put images of EVERYONE up when it's their birthday. The reason is this: if I don't have any image of the day, then I'll put up an image of the person whose birthday it is. So if you didn't get your picture on this year around, don't worry, there's always next year and every year after that.

Quote of the Day - Charles Morley

"If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them."

Life is beating me up at the moment. I am desperately trying to free myself from this tangled net of existence. Maybe I should shave my head and start wearing eye makeup.

Quote of the Day - Henry David Thoreau

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

Harvard's Letter
  

April 4, 2003
Dear Mr. Fitzsimmons, 

          Thank you for the letter you sent dated April 2, 2003. After much thought and careful consideration, I am very sorry to inform you that I will be unable to accept your refusal to admit me to the Class of 2007 at Harvard College. I wish I were able to respond differently, but given my circumstances, an affirmation of rejection is just not possible.

              After being rejected by a record number of colleges, I have been faced with the difficult decision of choosing a select number of college rejections to accept. I could have happily consented to a negative response from a great majority of the universities that denied me admittance, and I wish it were possible for me to accept ALL of my fine rejections. Though I understand how difficult the application reviewing process can be for admission departments and their deans, my resources are limited, and I can only accept so many refusals.

              I very much appreciate the interest you have shown in rejecting me from Harvard College, and I hope that you will accept my best wishes for success in all your future rejections. Thank you for your time, and I will see you in the fall.

  

Sincerely,

Ross J. Salupo
 
April 5, 2003 - no news is good news
My thoughts and feelings have been all over the place, and I still need to figure out a way to relax myself. I'm just trying to stay somewhat sane for the next thirteen days until spring break. The Avril Lavigne concert on the fifteenth should be a definite pick-me-up. I'll have to brush up on my lyrics sometime between now and then.

My images of the day have gotten a little bit more on the low comedic side. Perhaps I'll find some wholesome images for next week.
