So I wish that I had more pics, but this is a new computer and well so it goes. I know it is weird that I just found out like 3 hours ago (and now there is a video and song), but i guess this is how I cope.

My pal Kit.
For all you that had the chance to be covered in dog hair after leaving the Schreiner house hold... Kit passed away this morning. He shed like crazy, barked at the wind, and didn’t take no for an answer when he wanted attention. He was a great dog, and the best pal a kid could ask for.
I remember when we first went to the animal shelter to get a new dog. It was 6th grade. To be honest we went there to pickup this older dog that we saw on the news' "paws n' claws" segment. When we arrived there the people said that the animal had already been adopted earlier in the day. I was devastated! I was ready for a new pup. My first dog (Bo) had passed months ago and I had finally broke my parents down. (they really didn't want another animal) I convinced my dad to just look at the other animals in the shelter. As we entered the dog holding pen, the barking and whining was awful. Every dog in there was going crazy with what one would assume was excitement to see PEOPLE. The problem there was that my parents were apprehensive enough about a new dog... these wild pups were not helping my cause. A we were about to leave we passed a pen that at first we assumed was empty (there was no barking coming from it). Upon further inspection I noticed this little puppy just sitting there silent (well quiet at least) with his tail wagging. As I approached the fence the dog slowly approached as well, as I put my hand up at the gate he stood up and gently sniffed and licked my hand. It was as if we both were saying "let's go home pal." Needless to say Kit did come home with us and quickly became a huge part of our family.
He learned how to play football with me early. Well, he learned that "DOWN SET HIKE" was his que to chase and try to tackle me... something that after all these years he remembered. There was a time when you always knew when it was time for bed because Kit would stand there at the stairs looking at you waiting for you to say "bedtime". He made buddies quickly, I even found myself jealous when I would have a girl come to my house and he would always buddy up to them and act like I wasn't even there. I know that he was just helping a brother out... playing the cute dog angle for me. Thanks pal! For the past few years whenever I would come home from college or work he wouldn't leave my side for a few days. I always felt terrible about leaving after that. It seemed that just when he got used to me being there again I would leave... Sorry pal!
There is a ton I could write, but I will just leave it with he was a good dog.

MIKEYS OLD BALLS
UPDATED VERSION OF THE BALLS SONG...
been with you for a while now
ever since you were born now
back then we were so very small
raisens to prunes you know we are your balls
you know we're your balls
hang like teens in a mall
when you were young
you used some nair and it stung
wrinkled and old
hang too low so we're cold
look at us now
we think we're starting to mold
you know you put us through a lot of stuff
when you play with us you're way too rough
you know our love for you is tried and true
even though you let us stay so blue
you know we're your balls
hang like teens in a mall
when you were young
you used some nair and it stung
now we're wrinkled and old
hang too low so we're cold
look at us now
we think we're starting to mold
remember the hair the first day...
now we have our own toupee...
you know we're your balls
hang like teens in a mall
when you were young
you used some nair and it stung
wrinkled and old
hang too low so we're cold
look at us now
we think we're starting to mold

Resolutions so Far
Casey Top Ten 2008 Changes
1. Casey will stop acting like an old man (this encompasses a lot of things)
-willing to try new things
-open mind about where to live in the future...(Madison, WI)
-Being more active in general
I have moved from old man to internet junkie... not sure if this is a step up, down or sideways (still working on it)
2. Casey will really make a concerted effort to grow a beard. That is right it is colder than heck in Madison so even if it is patchy it is still hair and hair is warm (right?)

4. Casey will start going to church again... yeah I know this is not what some may have expected on this list, but to be honest I don't know why I ever stopped going.

did i mention my church is a golf course, church hasn't opened yet
5. Casey will stop caring so much what others think of him. I have spent the last 2.5 years worrying about the opinions of certain people to the point that I have an ulcer again. No more.

still working on this one. Wisc. Casey does a great job, but i'll be damned if MT Casey doesn't show up every once in a while... I get called on it when it happens, and I appreciate that.
6. Casey will actually keep up with this blog thing, I really have the time and now that I am moving clear across the country there is bound to be some new adventures and don't kid yourselves you want to hear about them.
you can read can't you
7. Casey is going to eat more pasta and restaurant food ... actually stop worrying about what he eats so much period. A very smart person has made me realize this thing I have with food is dumb.
DONE, DONE AND DONE... what the hell have I been doing the last few years!
8. Casey will go to a foreign country... again it is time.
in the cards for the summer
9. Casey will keep in better touch with people. I am terrible at this so I will try.
i am trying... jackie and jenn are #1 on this list!
10. Open for suggestions!
hmm... nothing yet! I must be perfect!
10.5 Casey will stop referring to himself in the 3rd person.

Maybe 100?!?!?
okay so this might be the funniest thing I have seen in a while! How can this guy win? Seriously... seriously!
Life Online...
So I was sitting here with Dino and just realized that I live my entire life online... and that is weird. I shop online, look for jobs online, date online (kinda), talk to my friends and family online... NOW GO TO SCHOOL ONLINE! I hate it (kinda) I mean don't get me wrong everyone knows that when it comes to tech nerds I am pretty up there, but this is even bad for me! Anyway, this all kinda started when I was reading for a class on the computer and then realized that my eyes can't take this... I REALLY need a printer... Anyway, not that interesting, but oh well... I made a resolution to start blogging while in WI, and I am going to stick with it. I was going to just do it on Myspace, but myspace has become a little ridiculous! Everyday I get fake requests from like 20 strippers (yes I fall for it every time) not to mention I have some friends that don't really "do" myspace. And obviously they want to read what I have so say!
