Right, Patchus.

Lets recall the events of last Wednesday, the day Patchus supposedly requested to borrow SlaughterHouse-Five. 

I'm in the room, its around 6:00 pm and Patchus comes bursting in, "Dude I am so close to missing my flight!" His flight is at 6:45. "I don't know what part of happy hour I thought was a good idea!" 

So he is drunk and in a rush. On his was out the door he asked, "Oh can I borrow Breakfast of Champions?" I thought it was strange because he had just borrowed it recently but he was in a rush so I just threw him the book and that was the end of it. 

I have no need to prove my literacy.

Literacy

Apparently Casale can not read. I asked him for Slaughter house five, and he gave me Breakfast of champions (both good books)!

He also has a really good explanation of a man in the French Resistance during World War II. Ask him about the existentialism of the guy!

More to come

Benson's Research

According to our top specialist Marty Benson; an EMP pulse shot would occur over the united states today. With one hour to go, we think he failed. Marty, your research skills are limited.

We are waiting for government approval to release his findings.

We may have him look research other things; stay tuned

New Sub-Stories

Casale and I are going to start a new series. It is going to be called " Things we hate that humans do".

The First one of these is Gyms. I think it is funny to watch people at the gym wearing there spandex and working out. People pay to use the washington Sports Club, or LA Fitness or any of that sort. It cost them roughly 20 bucks (or more) a month. Now get this, people at these gyms are just walking, yes that's right walking. The irony is that in two hours they are taking a taxi to get dinner. Why are people using these machines inside, under no pressure! I want everyone to open a door, take a breath [ this excludes northeast new jersey and some parts of DC] and say hello to nature. Put your hand out, give it a whats up?

Then tie your shoes and start your jog! Outside, i know its weird, what if a bear comes, what if the Marisans come, or worse of all, What if i break a sweat? I know those three are painful and risky to take. But with the 20 dollars you save you could A. Buy Anti-Bear spray (http://www.zazzle.com/anti_bear_spray_shirt-235907753028037610), B. You could buy anti-marsian spray, or Gatorade (maybe one in the same tests have not come back yet).

So for one week try just going outside, play a little street-ball, or soccer or maybe walk to the monuments, just please god avoid the gym!

Half-Way There

Ok so here is an update for all 5 people that actually read this thing. I am actually not too sure, but hey i am sure we compete with other popular GW blogs? At least we dont wear stretchy pants... or do we?

I caught Casale Wearing stretchy pants. I am not really too sure why, or what he was doing. But i came back from my daily run, and i turn to catch him with stretchy pants. At first i was welcoming to this nylon-spandex blend. Then i realized something was wrong. Oh- Wait; Casale is not from long Island and he is surely not worthy of wearing such a Princess(esc) clothing.

Casale has finally got a job [ read previous post for more info], he is also taking a Class (European History in the 20th Century), for all of those wondering. He also bikes in the city and wears a helment [ thats right kids safety first].

His sister is also in town, she goes to AU!

Jobbed

Casale has a job; make fun of him.

You can read about the Eatery here

You can get there by using this


He is a Host, Make fun of him!

Marty Sucks

I promised Marty I would write an entry if he won his NCAA Basketball game. He was Duke playing against Louisville, and after 36 tries with loss margins between 15 and 45 he finally won on the 37th try in double over. Great job Marty.

Shayn disapproves.

Steve!

Thanks Steve ( Friend of Casale)....

Summary of the evening...

This post is for you Steve, thanks, I can sleep knowing someone else out there is taking the fall!

Casale's Poetry

Casale Recently Decided to cut up a Barack Obama's Speech (something i approved of) and he took random segments of the speech to make a poem. The poem is listed below

Yes we can change
we've seen exactly whats wrong with that supposedly define us
but we know to say anything and
to give a reason to the future religion

Something new act desire instead of judgment

Up against a common purpose
within the confines of our time
Yes, We can
come demonize a higher purpose
serve together and fight together
to win once and for all to end it.

White Shuttered every color
That's the kind of partisanships that wont cross over patriotism
was a fluke for our politics tell us that nothing as
bludgeon as a wedge cause repeated habits

Mattew Casale June 14th 2008

Please comment on Casales Poem, it will be great

Miss You Casale

For all of you that dont know, Casale left DC last week for personal reasons. He has not returned since.

I just wanted to say, that every morning i wake up, and your not there, a little piece of me dies. Just kidding.

But from a household full of brothers, and im sure plenty people across the globe. We hope you are ok and hanging in there.

The Round up

Things i Learned about Casale over the Past week in a plus minus Fashion.

+ History Chanel
When it comes to TV Casale loves his History Chanel, its all i catch him watching. He loves the special on barbarians. He is not so fond of the World War II shows. "I do not believe they can recall all the information, like how many bullets they fired". He watched several other specials, one including the History of talkless TV.

- Indian Jones
He was not so fond of the Indian Jones movie. "It was entertaining, but i did not really get it". I am not sure if that is a common theme with Casale, but he rated the movie a 5 out of 10. You make the call.

- The Kramer Books Application
"I got half way through the application and it asked me what my favorite color was". He continued to explain that he likes the color blue. His reasoning extends from his parents, whom painted the young Casale's room blue. To follow up, his sheets and comforter are both blue. If we look at his facial expression, most of the time it is blue.

+ Ireland
He decided to put up an irish flag, in the jealously of my American and Canadian flags, which monster over this small flag.

Now Hiring?

Since Casale has been back in the states he has remained unemployed. He really wants a job, he is so desperate some applications included

1. Kramer Books from 5Pm - 1 Am.
2. Barnes and Noble
3. Borders
4. Chuckie Cheese
5. The Picture People
6. Express your emotions out loud
7. Save America one smile at a time
8. If i was superman foundation
9. shh i am still thinking . org


So if you would like to prevent Casale from getting a horrible job please hire him. He has great qualities and is a great interviewer. He rarely talks to customers, he is always on time.

Guess Whose Back, Back Again

Thats right blog readers, Matt Casale is back in the United States of America. He arrived here on May 16th 2008. He was questioned several times about his loyalty to this great country. He did very well on the oral exam, except the beer category. He kept telling the TSA inspector that Guinness was better than Busch Light [ which as all us good Americans know is not true].

The True Question: Is Casale American enough?

We decided that Casale must accomplish at least 8 of the following to show his loyalty to this great nation.

1. He must yell "I Hate Terrorism" preferably near a group of tourist.
2. He must eat Grilled Cheese, with American Cheese at least 4 out of 7 days.
3. He must drive, titled "Freedom" around in a pick truck, titled "Freedom" DC having no mission other than wasting gasoline.
4. He must watch this weeks Nascar Race and the Yankee's game.
5. He must eat fast food at least once a day.
6. He must wear a shirt that says I <3 Freedom
7. He must eat Apple Pie
8. He must compete in either of the following : Roller Derby, RV Derby, or a Car Derby.
9. He must wear a 1992 Dream Team Jersey
10. He must take a bullet for a Bald Eagle from Alqadi Pochers while drinking Budweiser

The Challenge is yours Casale, Prove your loyalty

What if Casale was a Food?

Good Day Readers, Apparently Casale does not have a job, so i must comment on that.

I asked myself what would Matt Casale be if he were a food. It took me a while to realize it, and after hours of spending time on wikipedia, i found it. He would be a Fast Casual food. Many of you may not know what "Fast Casual" food is.







So why is casale Fast Casual, listed below are some reasons

- Wants people to think of him as this high class dude, but is actually just a laid back guy
- He provides the same type of service but charges double the price
- He is small, like every sandwhich as cosi.
- He is actually stuffed with marshmallows
- He speaks spanish, and french
- He is the 6th guy
- He is said to be bakery on the corner, but is actually not on a corner.
- He is bros with noodles, and part of the company.

Add more if you want.

Hope and Casale

Then, out of nowhere, a light showed. A small glimpse of hope, he turned he said, all takes is hope.

According to Dumas our lives are summed up in two things, Wait and Hope. So when we are given hope its like a taste of victory, now we just have to wait, and then hope some more.

Without hope we are conquered, we have no drive , we have no reason. We are lost with too many questions, and nothing to answer it for us.

This one wasnt written for Casale, but for hope.

But in a Casale related note, He is arriving in DC the 20th, The States the 16th, so start you clocks.

Casale do you even have a job for this summer?

Dave Matthews Band (II)

Hey,

Sad things is, I'm actually not all that into the Dave Matthews Band anymore. I'm sure their concert at Camden would still be a good time, but what I'm really looking forward too is seeing The National. I'm sure you'd understand if you heard them (so look them up),

Matt.

Dave Matthews Band

So Casale Loves Dave Matthews Band, he would so date the whole band. Sometimes he wishes his middle name was dave, so he could lie and say he was named after the band.

In spirit of the tour, Casale made a countdown to when Dave is coming to Camden NJ (not to far from Matt's house).

However, every minute and every second Casale thinks about what to do in the mean time. He also thinks about what he is going to do once he goes to the concert. Both actions are listed below.

In Preparation to the concert

- Should I make a gaint sign saying i love you Dave, but what if there is a guy in front of me named dave, will emily get mad that her name is not Dave.
- Make a list of predicted songs Dave will play, and remember every word.
- Debate over 100 times which shirt does Dave think looks best on me, and then decide to wear that one.
- Play every song on my guitar, in hopes that by some weird fluke Dave asks me to come on stage and play with him.
-Book a room in every hotel in Camden, just in hopes of staying in the same one the Band does.

While at the Concert (Thoughts in Casale's head)

- I will cheer, but only if everyone around me is cheering.
- Should i yell that i want to have Dave's babies (is that even possible; who cares Dave is just that amazing)
- I will yell " Its not about the words, but the passion behind the music".
- I Missed you dave, your voice did not soothe me during my nail biting crisis.
- I want that drum stick, and if he throws that out here, i am acting like a brides maid in a wedding.
- I hope Dave Matthews is not a Red Sox fan, that might hinder my love for him


This is just chapter one of the Dave Matthews Saga

The Casale Tragedy

Tragic it was. I know i said i would not post any really personal stories, but this story must be told.

It all begins just about two years ago. This Image here is from Casale's Prime. Few know Casale as a Division 1 one tennis player, but he was good. Actually, he was the best. He once played a tournament and won straight through. He beat several GW players to earn the Top Spot, but then things fell apart.

Casale began to bite his nails during a tough match against Xavier.He actually bit his hand too hard. This bite was so deep and intense , it created an infection. Like a door being slammed shut, Casales Career began to fall , and fall heavy. After finishing last in the A-10 Tournament, he stopped speaking . He was so ashamed he couldn't even keep his head up. He was so embarrassed he ran away to Ireland. He is currently "Studying Abroad" ; but in reality he is escaping his true problem, nail biting.

Casale went to Ireland, because they are actually the best at fighting the nail bitting syndrome.
Sadly, the therapy did not work, and Casale continues to bite his nails. Not only has he continued to bite his nails, but he began to drink as well. He began to drink so heavily that others have had concern. [Read Post Below to Illustrate Casales' Habit].

- He was tempted to not finish finals
- He keeps drinking an Irish Red Ale.
- He has turned in "Really Crappy Work"
- "Drink as much Guinness as possible while I can still get the good stuff"

I Hope he will do well.

Hey Guys

So Patchus did his little spiel about the launch of this blog and already has published a number of subsequent posts (and I even published one regarding one of his), but I haven't really said anything yet.

Basically, it is about time. Sorry it took so long.

So I've got less than a month left in Europe and when I get back I will be, as Patchus said, living in the house for the summer. I'm so looking forward to Fifa. My classes are over here (well not true, I have one later today but I have no reason to go), and in my time left I've got a few plans.

1. Don't fail my finals. Hopefully that shouldn't be too hard, I only have three and so far the standards in Ireland have been way lower than in the U.S. I've written terrible essays that my professors loved. So I should be alright.

2. Go to Cork, Blarney, the Ring of Kerry, and possibly Limerick and the Cliffs of Moor. There are still a number of really touristy things in Ireland I have yet to do, which is sad.

3. See The National live on May 13th.

4. Drink as much Guinness as possible while I can still get the good stuff (and while its still legal for me to drink in bars, I'm sure it'll be really fun to go home and go back to being under the legal drinking age for a little while...).

As a quick note, here are some of the things I've done while in Europe:

• Drank a lot.
• Fell in love with Smithwicks.
• Done touristy stuff around Dublin.
• Visited Prague.
• Went to Northern Ireland to see Belfast and the Giant's Causeway.
• Went to Paris and then Berlin.
• Emily came to visit here in Dublin. We also went out west to see Galway and the Atlantic.
• Went to a Celtic game in Glasgow.
• Explored the Wicklow Mountains a bit.
• Missed real food and weather (neither are all that pleasant over here...)

So I hope you guys are all well, I'm looking forward to getting back into things. Patchus, feel free to critically examine every sentence and try to decipher my thoughts while writing this. I look forward to reading your interpretation!

The Casale Stare

If you ever spoke to Casale, i am sure you got this. I have decided to title this The Casale Stare.

What is he staring at, what are the thoughts rattling through his mind.

I (with the assistants of many) have made a list of what Casale thinks instead of paying attention to what we are talking about.

- Emily Anderson
- Phil Tamulis
- Baseball
- Tennis
- What that person would look like if they wore the color Blue
- Now is it better to have one fish or two fish, and is blue better than red?
- If Jon Lennon and Kurt Vonnegut got in a fight who would win?
- Apples or Oranges, but what if we mixed in bananas
- The Word "Bananas" is really hard to spell
- Ireland is so much fun
- God when am I gonna put my two words in
- Music is what defines me


If you have any suggestions please post them, i will update the user added section, this should be interesting.

What the hell is Brian Cashman doing?!

Did they really just let that awful singer stay on American Idol?

I could dance better than Michael Jackson.

Sometimes I wonder about the Creator of the Universe.

Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions, page 160.

Want a quick explanation?

Who is the Creator of the Universe? He is simply the Creator of the Universe. Who are we? The eyes and ears of the Creator of the Universe. You fools. 

Read Breakfast of Champions. 

Come on! Its from a book!

What Makes Casale Tick.

Unlike a Clock, Casale ticks in a unique way.He works in a way that only highly paid scientist could figure out. (Sadly our funding for Casale's Corner is limited, so instead we got Dr. Nick Riviera).

He Gave us some explanations on the brain of Matthew D. Casale.

- Where is Waldo.

After spending hours trying to find the secret meaning of Casale's brain, all we could come up with is Where is Waldo. We are not sure exactly what Casale means when he asks where waldo. Nick Riviera Specialist in Waldo finding, believes that Waldo is a pictorial representation of Casale's personality . Riviera could not estimate how long Waldo has been gone for, but remarked " It has been some time".

-"Sometimes I wonder about the Creator of the Universe."

He wonders! We know have established that difficult equations run through his head, such as wondering about the creator of the Universe. Our next study will be inquiring about who, what, and where is the Creator of the universe, and what he is thinking about this creator
