Prediction IV - Adam

So Scott and I were at Kroger doing some shopping for chow when I was hit by this urgent session of paper work so she had to drop me off at home. could have been the two McDonalds meals I had today or the fact that I hadn't posted since Monday...or a perfect storm of the two. Whatever the reason here I am and it isn't pretty nor is it fun.

Anyway my 4th prediction of the year here we go:

People born in this decade and hence forth, when wed, the woman will keep her maiden name and the husband will keep his name also.

Because of women being seen as more and more independent and with the internet and computers being so important in society it will be very difficult to have to change every account to your new last name and I think for convenience our children will just keep their last names. Everything else will be the same and I think the children will take the father's last name its just you will never have to mess with all the changing of your last name 20 some years from now.

now if you'll excuse me I still have to put the groceries away because I just set them down grabbed my lap top and ran to my office.

Wearing The Pants - Adam

wow this morning coffee really gets the paperwork moving, I just posted last night, anyway Belt loops...

sometimes I don't want to put my belt through every single loop in the pants/shorts. Sometimes pants have like 6 loops and I only really need 4 so I skip some but if I do that people say "hey you missed a belt loop"

Listen I bought the pants they are mine I control the pants they don't control me, if I want to put my belt through 4 loops on my own pants then that's how its going down. Its interesting to see that if you choose to not put your belt through a loop people think you missed one and its a mistake well why can't the design of the pants be a mistake?

hopefully this new perspective just rocked the foundation of your pant world

Citizen ProcrastiNation - Adam

So last week I was up fairly late writing a paper because I didn't want to write it...

why? why do we all do this? I know everyone has surfed faceSchuch or watched TV done, whatever weird strange activity to stall from writing a paper. The simple fact is the paper needs to be written, the mid term needs to be studied for so why do we push it off? Its not going anywhere and if anything it makes it worse because you dread it the whole time you are procrastinating and once you are done you stayed up too late to get a good nights sleep anyway.

Procrastination, everyone does it, it has no benefits.

it should be called Concrastination because there are no pros about it...

Courtney Wedding - Adam

Today Brian and Kendra are getting hitched and Scott and I are in Wauseon to watch it go down.

But first I have a question... is it a coincidence that that NY has 3 professional teams called the
Mets
Jets
Nets
they had to have planned that out I never noticed it before until recently...

Also fake laughing... I know everyone does it, its not that you don't think what the person is telling you is funny its just not funny enough to laugh but you know they want you to, so you fake laugh...

my question is: we all do it, have you ever been able to realize that someone is fake laughing with you? I mean when you are fake laughing you always think to yourself "oh man this is so obvious I'm faking laughing" but really I don't think its as obvious as it feels... hmm

Draft - Brian

The NFL draft is tomorrow, and that means pizza, beer, and football for 3 hours. What can be better than that?

Lets take a look at what the Steelers can do with their draft picks in the first two rounds (because after that, who really cares?).

The Steelers own the 18th pick in the draft and they have a few options there. If CB Joe Haden from Florida is available, that would be their best option. Defense has always been the Steelers staple, and that is the direction they should go. Their pass defense was suspect last year (which can partially be contributed to the loss of Polamolu) and their corners had only ONE interception all year. That needs to be fixed, and Haden can be the solution. If Haden is off the board, either center Maurkice Pouncey or guard Mike Iupati could help shore up the woeful offensive line Pittsburgh has.

The second round will be used to draft either a CB or an offensive lineman, whichever issue wasn't addressed in the first round.

The interesting part could be if the Steelers trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. The Raiders are the most likely trade partner at number 8. This will allow the Steelers to take an elite offensive tackle with that pick, and Haden at 18. But one can only dream...

The Bengals are the second team I will look at (for Alan's sake). I think they have a relatively easy first round choice. Their glaring weaknesses are WR and TE. The two top choices would be WR Dez Bryant and TE Jermaine Gresham. I would go with Gresham because he is a very balanced TE and doesn't have the character issues like Bryant does. Either way, either play could immediately step in and start, instantly improving a weak Bengals passing game.

If this post bored you then you don't love the draft. And if you don't love the draft, then you don't love the NFL. And if you don't love the NFL then I'm not offended for you being bored.

Gnasty - Adam

You ever have one of those days where you wake up head down to your lavatory throne and suddenly realize that this Saturday you will be at one of your friends weddings and that this summer you will be the best man at your best friend's wedding and that your brother just got engaged and you found out via faceSchuch?

Then suddenly you begin to look at your life and examine the current situation you are in, the fact that you are sitting on your throne in an empty house with a lap top on the top of your lap as you pour out your ideas as you do paper work. And the more you think about it the more you realize that the things you look forward to the most in your day is playing a board game turned computer game with some friends and waiting for this evening to watch DVR with your female roommates because there is a new glee on there and the DWTS results show...

Then you remember walking through campus yesterday evening and running into one of those swarms of gnats and you start to wonder...

Why do gnats HAVE to fly exactly at the level my mouth is? Gnats have wings they can choose to stay at 2 feet off the ground or 20 feet but NO they choose right at 6 feet the height where my lower jaw and mouth is. is there some way we can get a treaty drafted... they don't fly at head level and we will no kill them by the masses...I think that is only fair...

Best of the Best - Brian

While every expert is seeming to write of the Nuggets in this years playoffs (either versus the Jazz or versus anyone they will play in round two), I find it odd that one thing hasn't been mentioned.

The Nuggets won the toughest division in the NBA. And one of the toughest in the last 10 years.

Do you realize that 4 of the 5 teams in the Nuggets division made the playoffs? Do you realize that each of them had at least 50 wins? No other division in the NBA had more than two 50 win teams.

And yet no one has any faith in the Nuggets. If they can fight all season and win that division, then why can't they make some noise in the playoffs? Heck, they even have a chance to win it all (yea, I said it). They faced a brutal schedule and came out with 53 wins, and now that they are fully healthy, minus Coach Karl, they are about to put it all together.

So every team should be aware of the Nuggets, and hope they don't have to play them next. I might not be an 'expert,' but when the Nuggets push deep into the playoffs, I won't hesitate to say "I told you so."

Wish Dasher - Adam

In my parents house growing up I never had a dishwasher. Always did the dishes by hand. In my apartment though we do have a dishwasher and I think it is the most terrible invention the world has ever seen.

The dishwasher is the only thing in the house that uses all of the utilities in one foul swoop. Electricity to run it, Water to fill it and gas to heat the water that's in it. Soon I'm sure they will have flat screen TVs on the front of them so they can use cable and internet also.

They not only use every utility they also can tare households apart. "you shouldn't have ran the D Dub it could have been fuller, are these dirty or clean? these go on the bottom rack, these go upside down, you didn't wash this before you put it in the dishwasher..."

yeah that's right you have to WASH dishes before you put them in the dishWASHER... what?

I don't understand them never had never will I think its a waste of cabinet space. That's why I stay away from the whole machine and simply have one bowl, one spoon, one fork. I can choose to wash them with soap I can choose to not wash them at all or just a quick rinse the sky is the limit when you have your own bowl. I don't have my own cup (aside from my amazing Ohio State Mug birthday present) because I don't need cups everything I drink is either from a can or jug. Its very liberating like going off the grid only in the kitchen...

Coffee Dreamer - Adam

So yesterday I spent a portion of my day at the Ohio Union to witness the 20th Annual OSU DanceSport Classic as I was there some fellow spectators wanted to go get coffee so I went with them. we went to some shop in the union that sold coffee the two I was with purchased their drinks. I however simply wanted to drink coffee creamer...

oh I know what you are all thinking and yes I do. I drink it straight from the little cups because it tastes so good. Problem is I have a hard time doing it in public because of societies eyes of judgment, ever watchful. Bottom line I snagged about 10 of the little cups and because my friends would disown me if they saw me throw 10 of them back in public I had to pour them into a cup. it actually worked out better for me because then I could enjoy it without having to crack the shell open just for little reward like eating crab.

Is it so wrong of my to love creamer on its own? everyone has weird food things like you have to have MUSTARD on EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE... can't we all eat in peace without having to worry about people gawking and pointing?

I have a dream that one day we may all eat and drink our weird favorites in public hand in hand.

Hitch Bikers - Adam

I feel bad for people who ride their bikes around the city. They can never win it seems. Where do they belong? on the side walk or the road?

Every time I'm walking on the sidewalk with people and a biker rolls up my company always rolls their eyes and makes a comment like "ugh that's what the road is for its called a side WALK"

Yet at the same time I've ridden in a car with people before and got stuck behind someone on a bike and the comments start flying "get off of the road, that's what sidewalks are for. and if they are on the road then you have the bikers that ignore stop signs and one way signs...

I have no idea where they belong I mean both have their pros and cons I guess its the biker's call which is the lesser of two evils. Which one will I receive less guff from

The Car Bar - Adam

This past Tuesday I started my internship at MDK LLC and so far so good I really enjoy the people and the place.

Another thing I did recently was purchase a cot. Why you might ask and the answer is simple. Sometime recently I had an idea and that was to be able to fit every thing I own into my Honda Civic, if it doesn't fit then lose it. I'm not sure why I thought of it maybe because since I moved out of the parents house I've been moving alot lately with working at a summer camp the past two summers moving to columbus fall of 08 and then moving out of that house because of a drug addict in October of 09. Since I have been moving and will move again the end of this summer away from crammed noisy expensive campus I decided to only take what can fit in my car. its a pretty liberating life style but the bar is set pretty high. Now I might be cheating a bit since the Car Bar isn't really true I have alot of stuff still at my parents house but the car bar isn't permanent its only until I find a good place to live that I will call home.

For those of you who are curious here is what I own: 7 t-shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, 5 pairs of shorts, 30" TV (the old tube TV not flat takes up alot of room) Cot, two chairs, Laptop, a cabinet given to me by the lovely Lisa Sealscott, and more miscellaneous clothes. Everything else that I have in my room like the mattress I sleep on the night stand and the desk were all found in the dumpster and once my time with them are up they shall again return to the dumpster for the next lucky owner to enjoy them as much as I have.

Time to Go - Brian

Ben Roethlisberger needs to go.

I'm glad he brought the Steelers two Super Bowl rings, and I couldn't be happier with his on the field play. But his off the field incidents have gone far enough.

The Steelers recently traded Santonio Holmes because of his off the field problems. In no way am I disagreeing with this move because the Steelers don't need people like this on our team (I mean, really, we aren't the Bengals).

Now they need to do the same with Big Ben. Let's ship him out for a few draft picks and start anew with someone who won't disgrace the franchise and add another reason for people to passionately hate the Steelers.

I feel confident that Dennis Dixon could lead us to the playoffs, as he has the same support Ben did in his first few seasons: a solid run game and a fantastic defense. The Steelers are great at grooming QB's ans Dixon could be a solid starter. Either way, it's better than having Big Ben out there as the face of the franchise. Makes us look real good.

So let's cut the ties with him, and move in a new direction. I'm ready to ditch this pass happy offense and get back to smash-mouth football in Pittsburgh anyways.

Things I hate - Brian

Jacob Powers Do a post about things you just plain don't like. I mean things so stupid they make your soul want to die...like sweaters for dogs


1.) People who ride the elevator up one floor - Seriously? You can't walk that one flight of stairs? What is that, like 30 stairs max? Instead they get on the elevator and make you stop after one floor. That adds like 15-20 seconds for your elevator ride. And you could be utilizing that time to get work done. That's right, if some people just took the stairs we could be a less fat AND more efficient society.

2.) Global warming - Doesn't exist so why do I have to hear about it all the time?

3.) "Pairs" of pants - Why is it called a pair of pants if its just one piece of clothing? You may say that it has two places for your legs, which is the pair part. Well guess what, a shirt has two arm holes, but that isnt called a pair of shirts. Its just called a shirt. Because its just one. So why is it a pair of pants?

4.) Not being able to think of things I hate off the top of my head - When they happen, it makes me so mad and I can't stop thinking about it for a short period of time. Now that I am under duress to finish this post, I can only come up with those three things. How frustrating...

Prediction III - Adam

so the plan was to wait for Brian to post his response to Jacob's idea but as we all learn at some point in our lives there are just things in life that you can't control.

whenever I walk to class or at the gym or virtually anywhere else that I may go I see people with their ipod buds jammed in their ears. I've been noticing it for quite sometime now and because of it I can't help myself but think of predictions of the way the world is heading so here is another prediction of mine.

In the future people will have head phones in at all times allowing zero dead air. For this to happen I imagine at this point everything will be wireless as in you put your head phones in then switch to your ipod frequency then when you get a phone call answer it with a blue tooth like feature then once the call is over immediately back to ipod. school lectures will be pod casts. Go home or to a restaurant TV's will have a channel number you can switch to that channel to listen to it all while wearing your head phones. Giving you constant noise in your ears at all times

what if people want to talk to you? you might ask? simple I imagine the texting prediction has come true at this point so no need to listen to them simply read the message

Post #100 - Adam

Jacob Powers Do a post about things you just plain don't like. I mean things so stupid they make your soul want to die...like sweaters for dogs

March 17 at 12:31am

Since we at Paper Work aim to please here is another response to the Ideas? discussion board found on the faceSchuch fan page.


Thinks I don't like:

1. Snow/Cold weather/Lack of Sun these three things could be rolled into one term and that is winter so I guess I'll just say it. I don't like winter nothing about it is good and I have acutally already expressed my hate for this season in a past blog.
2. dress clothes, I hate tucked in shirts then you lift your hands up and it gets all bunched up and untucked, the collar is so tight around your neck, the tie gets in your food or the wind blows it all over the place. MJs are ALWAYS more comfortable than dress shoes or any other shoe for that matter
3. The gap when football and basketball are over and I have to watch baseball stuff. baseball is so boring and slow paced however it is one of the few sports that isn't decided by time which I like and hate at the same time. thankfully baseball is in the summer I don't know what I'd do with myself if winter and baseball occurred at the same time
4. lastly, I'll just do 4 things because my paper work is wrapping up, girls that think leggings AREN'T pants. they absolutely are and I have no problem with them. Wear what you want to wear I'm not stopping you
   

Pick Pocketed - Adam

Its finally shorts weather here in the State of Ohio and you know what that means...

big baggy over sized pockets that are on the sides of your waists.

now I don't know how woman's shorts pockets are made but I can say this:

In mans jeans the pockets are on the front of the jeans and sized to about what your hands are.
in mans shorts the pockets are on the sides of the shorts and the size of plastic grocery bags. Why are they like that? why not just keep pockets a universal size and location on the clothes. I drop my phone into the abyss that is my shorts pocket then I sit down the pocket shifts to my side because its so mammoth then because the pockets opening is on the side boom out goes everything I have put into my pockets straight to the cushions of the couch. good luck finding all of that stuff too.

I like shorts I like the comfort the feel the maneuverability of them, just can't stand the size and location of the pockets

FaceSchuch - Adam

First and most importantly today is Anne Fogarty's Birthday

alright now as I was saying facebook was created in 2004 and the point of it was for college students to network with fellow college students. Sometime in 2006 the flood gates were opened so everyone could sign up and since then everyone has been displeased with facebook. Every time a new version of the site comes out everyone complains about how they hate it and join groups and stuff to make it go back. Not only does it not go back but they will change it and mess with it more over and over. Facebook has now become a family site, its less about drunk pictures and more about taking your actual life and putting it online.

Anyway the other day I was trying to find my first wall post to see who posted it and what it said, not only is that virtually impossible now, but also all posts from 2006 are gone. I went to a wall-to-wall of a person I know I've had as a facebook friend for a while and all posts prior to 2007 are gone. I don't undertand the point of a wall if: 1)I can't look back on it easily anymore, 2)its deleting old stuff, and 3) all it is anymore is status updates so you are basically writing on your own wall.

I'm calling it right now facebook isn't going to last. The generations under us are not going to want some website that their parents are on. plus once every thing is on facebook like every product imaginable and its mentioned in popular movies and joked about something else will come along for young kids. This is the exact path myspace was on once it hit main stream it died and facebook took over. now I'm not saying we won't still us it, but younger people will find something else and facebook will be seen as for old folks

Butler - Brian

Sorry for the delay in posts. That's what happens when you're in college and you have a 20 page paper due. Anyways...

Kudos to Butler for their run to the championship game. They earned it. It wasn't a "magical" run. They weren't a Cinderella story. They didn't get lucky.

Butler is no longer a mid-major, or even a high-major. They are a powerhouse team. Over the last 4 seasons, they have compiled a record of 118-22, reaching the Sweet 16 twice and the Championship game this year. That is more than some power conference teams can say they have done in the last 20 seasons.

Same goes for Gonzaga. Over the last 8 seasons they have gone 210-53, with two Sweet 16 appearances. Some "power" teams would love to match that success. So how can they be considered a mid-major? Or even a high-major?

Xavier might be the best example (outside of Butler's run this year) of "mid-major" success. They have a 224-79 record over the last nine seasons, making the Sweet 16 four times, and the Elite 8 twice.

Basically, these teams are more deserving of the label of power teams than most teams in power conferences. So please, stop calling them mid-majors. It's disrespectful.

Big Brother Theory - Adam

As some of you may know I have one other sibling, an older brother named Tyler Schuch.

Being a younger brother there are things that you begin to realize growing up, the most important and noticeable is the fact that older brothers are better than you at everything.

It is a natural phenomenon I can't explain it and I know I'm not the only case but for some reason older brothers are better than you at everything you do. For example as children growing up Tyler was able to beat Mega Man X easily and I'm not talking about just defeating all the enemies but also taking down Sigma. He was probably 10 at most when he was able to do that, now at the age of 22 I am still unable to do what a 10 year old child could do or at least with the ease that we could accomplish it. Why? because he is my big brother and that's the way it works.

I've done little research on this topic with some of my peers for instance the Brandon, Travis Smith brother pair. When I lived with Travis last school year he would practice Dr. Mario nonstop in hopes that a rematch would take place with, Brandon, his older brother. Finally the day came and they faced off on the NES Brandon was down 1-0 I believe...then the older brother phenomenon kicked it and Brandon won the series in an incredible 2-0 run ending the series at 2-1.

My other roomate of 08 was Dain Helbert an older brother. He began to explain to me how no matter the circumstance he is always able to destroy his younger brothers in any competition.

This phenomenon I believe is not limited to just Brother to Brother relationships but also can occure between Sister to Sister relations. However I haven't conducted tests to find Brother to sister nor Sister to Brother results.

Finally another interesting finding is a term that has been coined as "Old Man Strength" this term was made popular by my friend Jake Richards growing up in an only child environment he is neither the older nor younger brother however despite that a new finding surfaced. The fact that his father, despite age difference, and the fact that Jake worked out heavily in comparison to Jeff, was still able to best his son in competitions of strength.

an interesting experiment would be a clash between old man strength and big brother brawn.

younger siblings feel free to give testimonials in the form of comments I'm looking to expand my theory.

Months & Madness - Adam

Just doing some paper work before I setting into my couch to watch the end of the madness between Duke and Butler (if you hadn't noticed I beat Brian in our bracket competition I scored a 71 while Brian finished with 51)

so I have alot on my mind right now alot of little subjects lets see if I can cover them all / remember them

1. First off I'd like to say that with the amount of followers on both facebook and the blog itself I am greatly disappointed with the comment count that is going on here, some could blame that on the crappy topics that we at Paper Work talk about but that's just not true. I'd like to see every fan of paper work inviting and sharing links with all of their friends getting this thing real big
2. Next I'd like to talk about the lack of participation that is coming from my counterpart cousin I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoy when he does paper work and I'd like to see more of it
3. you know what really grinds my gears is when people say "its our 6 month anniversary" an anniversary is something that happens annually, as in yearly so its impossible to have a 6 month anniversary it would be considered wither a semianniversary if its 6 or simply a monthiversary
4. Next and probably lastly, why don't we give our age in months? I'm 268 months old, we could celebrate more often and its a big number which is BA

alright well I'm wrapping up this session about now but I was messing around in the library today and created something tell me what you think of it

Child Labor - Adam

So today I was hanging out at the house with Scott and we were watching sponge bob square pants (I'll give you one guess who had the remote) but anyway a commercial came on that made me think and here it is.

Barbie potty training pups, wow what fun all the best parts of owning a pet, feeding and cleaning up after it I can't wait to play with that toy. then Scott started talking about the types of toys girls have when they are young and I realized that girls have the crappiest toys by far.

Toys for girls are actual chores and work, Baby doll that actually cries, wakes you up at night, and forces you to give it alot of attention yippie, or Barbie I have to dress her and comb her hair and clean up her barbie mansion or easy bake ovens?

all girls toys suck and are hard work that I would consider not to be toys.

boys play with squirt guns, nerf guns, bb guns, paint ball guns, and alot of other really awesome toys like video games: call of duty, halo, duck hunt.

if you ask me girls get ripped off when it comes to childhood toys

Alan's Birthday - Adam

Today Alan Dicken turned 22 years old.

Yesterday I had to give a urine sample for my internship this spring. Piss test really? is that the best scientists can come up with to figure out if I have been using illegal substances? No mouth swab or hair sample? Its 2010 and the best they can do is make me hold a cup fill it half way then walk my own waste over to a person so he can judge me? "hmm looks like someone's not drinking enough water or blah you eat honey nut cheerios every meal or WHAT?" I can't deal with that kind of look.

I think that they have a better way to find out if I'm using they just like to humiliate us and force us to try and catch our own piss in a small little container only half way though then walk it over to him and look the tester in the eyes thus mentally telling him "this is what my pee looks like judge me"

I got in the room he made me empty out all of my pockets on the counter. So I had my phone, keys and wallet out then he looked at them and said alright put them back... why? why did he make me do that? Its just one more thing that they do to make us feel awkward. Just letting me know he is in complete control and I'll blindly do whatever he tells me to do.

Makes No Cents - Adam

Yesterday day I went to Brothers Bar & Grill for .10¢ wings which were amazing. Prior to leaving I was trying to scrounge up enough change for 20 wings, plus tip, plus Scott wanted me to pick her up 10 so all together four dollars in change. I had accumulated a large amount of change into a bag realizing that the waitress would hate me if I paid in pennies and dimes I headed to Scott's bank (Huntington Bank) to get the change turned into whole dollars, just four dollars is all.

I walked up to the counter set the four dollars on the counter and asked if I could have dollars for the change and the bank turned me down they would not do it for me.

allow me to rephrase that statement: The American Bank refused to take American Currency in exchange for the exact same monetary value...

how can they get away with that? I have money I go to a bank whose one purpose is money and they won't take it? Is there a difference in worth between 100 pennies and one paper dollar? If you answer anything other than no to that question I ask that you close out of this blog and drive to the nearest park or lake get out of the vehicle and take a nice long think about that. Then after some soul searching come back and see if you draw a different conclusion.

Banks that don't take money THAT MAKES NO SENSE! "oh Adam go to a coin star" a coin star? you want me to put my money into a machine then pay a fee and get less money out of it? Does that make any sense to anyone? What has the world come to where people will literally pay money to get their money changed into money? That is highway robbery.

For those of you that are curious a friend was kind enough to swap me a five dollar bill in exchange for a bag of five dollars in change. Plus there is no waitress at Brothers. But really good Wings WOW
