So Today Matt and I decided to grab some lunch while at chimes in Troy and we were initially thinking about going to Pot Belly for a sandwich. But then I mentioned how we still havent gone to Troy High School to randomly eat lunch with some weirdo high schoolers. Bear in mind we are both 24 years old. We figured we could pull it off cause we still look like we are in high school.

So we drive up and . . . Read More..

I remember that there was always this table full of latino gangsters in the cafeteria. For some reason, my friend Todd didn't get along with one of them. His name was Franko and we called him "Franko De Muerto" which is something like "Franko of death".

His name evolved. It became "Franko De Muerto Espierto" which totally doesn't make sense but it rhymed. I think it means Franko of Death Hope. Then it became "Franko De Muerto De Espierto Vash" or something. I think we thought that it meant "Franko of Death of Hope Cow".

Anyway, I remember that there was once a confrontation. I don't know if we threw food or what but they approached Todd and our preppy table and then followed Todd out into the commons area and surrounded him. Nothing happened though - maybe the bell rang - I can't remember clearly.

Here's the story behind my username.  I think it was Derek Conrad that started calling me "Nalel".  Then it turned into "Lel".  And now Dave calls me lellel.  I used to call Kevin "Keevinalel".

Kevin and I used to make weird noises.  We used to say "yiyiyi".  We called this the Dane Fife mating call.  Dane was my childhood bully so it was our dorky way of getting back it him (behind his back).  We used to make this weird noise that happens when you smack your tongue against your bottom lip and make this distorted face.  I will have to find a picture of one of us making the face - I know they are out there as we did it often.

Recently I started using the word "Nalel" again.  It cracks my friend Sabrina up every time that I say it.  I say it like this "Naaaalel" and make a funny face.

When Dan and Dave used to live in Waterford, there was this party store within walking distance of their house.  We used to walk up there all the time and load up on candy to eat as we stayed up all night playing video games.  On one occassion we went there and I don't know why but I stole some Bubilicious gum.  It is strange that I remember that to this day.  I can still see the interior of the party store in my head.

One of the few memories I had with Dot was the time that she left these really cool Ninja Turtles Drinking containers at our front door.  she tried to stop by but we were gone or something.

I really liked mine a lot and I might even still have it.  

I think this was the first time I really appreciated a gift.  Its really strange.  I was pretty young.

But shetotally didnt have to buy us gifts because she wasnt even our real grandma  .

I am sure she did a ton more with us.  But I can barely remember her.
