About four months, I had my iPod stolen. I told the story of it being stolen and how I wasn’t going to let it get me down to my pledge class in Sigma Chi. They took the story to heart and decided to buy me one.
I was very surprised when they initially told me. It was something they didn’t need to do. They insisted, saying it was the least they could do. The class says that they all benefited from me being their teacher, but I don’t think they truly realize how much I benefited from them. I am proud to have seen them through and happy to call them my brothers.
So to Steve Scimia, Drew Fasolo, Antonio Fraccaroli, Harrison Staple, Justin Lockwood, Phanuel Mariano, David Yourman, and Ben Townsend… thank you guys for the iPod Touch. I really appreciate it. You really didn’t have to do that.
There comes a time in every man’s life when he realizes that he is not necessarily at the top of the food chain. All kinds of animals are above us. To quote Wizard of Oz, “Lions and Tigers and Bears…” Well there is one person that hasn’t come to that realization. That’s because he doesn’t need to.
His name is Timothy Hutvagner- THut for short. When I say that he is a big scary animal, I’m not kidding. I once saw him kill a deer with his bear bare hands and then eat it raw. Coyotes do that stuff, not humans.
Every good super hero has his or her own ‘attribute’ that they are known for. Spider Man has his web, Batman has his Batmobile. THut has his point. It’s not a point like “Oh my gosh, I think that is where I puked after the bars last night”. It’s more a “YOU! STFU or I’ll kill you!” point. Examples below…
Please, should you come in contact with this hairy beast, do not go near him. He will try to ‘woo’ you with his smile, but be warned, those are the same teeth that ate the deer. Much like the general zoo warning of “Please don’t feed the animals”, I am telling you “Please don’t give THut any alcohol”. It will only increase the already agitated state of THut. I have seen some of the rage I just described. THut was cornered in an open lot while drinking of his beloved Coors Light. An unfortunate soul knelt behind the monster while another mortal pushed him. I compared the movement to the Washington Monument falling and causing a 7.6 earthquake. Needless to say, neither of them are with us today. After he was done with them, he took his rage out on a bag of charcoal. I think he may have been confused (he buys bags and bags of dead squirrels in a bag that is quite similar to the charcoal bag).
To sum things up, THut is not a nice person. He will destroy your self-esteem, make you pee your pants in front of your friends, then eat your insides. If he is hungry, he’ll come back for more.
CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED
Yeah… we’re a big deal. Sigma Chi has gone 6-0 this season and on to the playoffs next week. I have so much fun playing football with the guys. Everyone plays as a team, and we all know our roles. That doesn’t mean that we can’t have a little bit of fun. I’ve played Guard a couple of times, and I’m not scared to play other spots. (Little known fact: In HS, I played WR, RB, TE, K, CB, FS, ILB, DE, and NT).
Anyway, wish us luck as we start the playoffs!
Technology is awesome. I’m on my BlackBerry in literally the middle of nowhere, yet still able to post a blog. How cool is that?
I’ll take a picture and post it on here later. A little preview: so beautiful!
Spending time with my fraternity brothers is always a great time.
I wish I could head up here more often.
Editor’s Note: Here is the picture I promised…taken from my cell phone camera!
