Content Substitutes Substantial Text

It's been some time since I've written anything
substantial for the ol' website, and I probably won't break that
streak much now. Of course, to keep you entertained, I have taken
the liberty of bringing you pictures to keep you enthused. Since
my senior year is getting to be a lot more than I bargained for,
I've been behind in updating, but also in content. Greg and I are
formulating some antics, but who knows if we may ever execute them.
Alas, I've solved that issue by taking pictures from my room window
here at Luksic. I've caught several funny and strange shots, and
that's what I'll present today. However, in case you're here as
a new-comer from the ROTC circuit, no, I'm not taking pictures of
you or anyone else on their way to class-- I'm solely in this for
situations like this....

Here we have the King's College grounds crew mowing dirt. The summer
hasn't been so friendly to the grass in University-College Park,
but the grounds men can't just sit around all day-- or can they?
Clearly he's sitting, but he's mobile. Man, this is a good idea
to patent. Somebody get on this transportation thing!

In case you're stumped, that reads "Trendy Knockoffs"
and a time and place for you to go to purchase such items. This
puts the ol' W-B on the fast track to being New York City, where
things like this are popular. In case you're wondering, I did not
make it to the place to buy. Maybe next time...

Kids have started to use University-College Park a lot lately. Here's
a guy pretending to meditate. Some people need to find themselves
when they get to college, and some people need to find identities.
This guy is doing both! Now he's the meditating guy. And despite
how long this guy sat there (enough time for me to focus correctly)
I'm betting that he wasn't really meditating, what with the booming
car stereos and thunderous Mack trucks passing by.

My shoe broke-- what up with that?! It sucks to find out your shoe's
broken mid-class. You really can't focus on much when you know your
shoe's broken. So many questions reel through your mind at once--
How long has it been broken? How could I not know? How did it happen?
What will I wear now? Can I return these? Another day of chemistry
wasted...

Some kids just lay in University-College Park. Now you tell me if
living conditions are bad.
Of course not all of our material can
come from the window. After all, I have been up to other, bigger
things....

When I went to the zoo with Karen, I got my picture taken with a
bear, and this kid. His name's Ryan. After Karen took the picture
the bear ate Ryan and took his hat. Cape May is a tough town, buddy.

I also got my picture taken at the ass of one of South Jersey's
most unique attractions, Lucy the Elephant. While I wanted Karen,
me, and my sister to all hang out of the window seen above me, time
and space would not allow.

This is a guy, in New York City, walking around with now shoes.
This is why people die at young ages, we're not invincible, kids,
stay in school and wear your shoes.

This is Karen with one of the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. Yeah,
I think she's grabbing his hand, between her teeth she's saying,
"Smile little man! Smile like you mean it!" Behind her
is the money-grubbing wife of the manager.

Lately I've decided that I don't like having the name "Pete"
because of the long "e." When doors squeak, sometimes
I think people are calling my name.
And that concludes our compilation
of pictures. I hope you can enjoy it for as long as it took me to
put together. Have a good day, and if you want to be seen, pose
outside my window in a lame way.
