I'm in my bathroom (like every time I do paper work) and the bathroom isn't set up exactly the way I could have designed it if I built this place. The light switch is on the outside of the room. How is that beneficial in any way? So roommates can turn off the lights while I'm in the shower or doing paper work? that's a great idea.
Light switch on the outside of the room that it controls is exactly the same as having the ignition to your car be on your passenger side door. oh let me just put my key in the passenger side door so that anyone could just run up and nab it then bolt.
However the light switch does help build trust between my roommates and I. Its risky settling in here then having the lights killed while I'm mid shower. It has yet to happen to me which is a good thing, I'd just prefer if the switch was safely locked in the bathroom with me to avoid any sort of temptation.
I'm really excited to see the NBA finals this year finally Kobe vs LeYawn. I know how the cavs swept the Lakers in regular season and how valuable of a stat that is, plus with all of Queen James extremely important triple doubles it all has finally paid off for them. Best record in the NBA plus the regular season 2X MVP and could have been scoring champ but the Queen was selfless enough to allow Durant to have it. I'm very excited to finally see this match up. I'd like to apologize for mocking LeYawn this whole season saying he will just choke and blow it in the post season.
In response to Adam's comment about me not responding to the ideas posted on the faceSchuch page, its because sports gets little to no love from our readers. I have come to accept the fact that my half of the blog doesn't have as many avid followers as my counterpart, and in no way am I upset about this.
But I like to keep my post strictly about sports, and none of the readers ideas relate to sports. I suppose I could tie in sports to all of those questions, but then they wouldn't be my true response, and so that doesn't seem fair at all.
With the "Where would you live outside of the US" question, my choice would not have anything to do with sports, and therefore would not be something I am willing to post on. I have already broken my rule once regarding my top 5 men and women, and I answered honestly, but it didn't have much to do with sports. I regret writing it because I strayed outside of my area.
When coming up with the idea for Paper Work, I was strictly to post on sports, while Adam tackled various other issues. I plan on sticking to that pledge, so if you would like me to respond to questions and ideas, please hit me up with some sports related questions. If not, I assure you that I still enjoy your support of the blog regardless of my non response to your ideas in the idea forum on faceSchuch.
Now you know why.
Frieda Smith If you had to live outside of the U.S. where would you live and why?
So I feel like I already answered this question way back in February with my Dubai Post. but I think even more importantly than that is the fact that one of my goals in life is to never leave American Soil.
Who needs other cultures? America has mountains, Deserts, oceans, beaches, islands, seasons, forests, tall buildings, old buildings, new buildings, short buildings, Swamps, Plains, valleys, gulfs, lakes, I mean seriously the interesting thing about America is that unlike some countries we have it all.
my next point I'd like to make is the fact that Brian never seems to respond to the mail bag ideas like I do... what's the deal with that?
I've been observing the female mind while living among them in their natural habitat and I have been shaping and formulating an interesting theory.
The majority of girls will tell you that they get along better with men than they do women. I believe the same is found for men.
So this begs the question, If every girl claims that they get along better with guys, then why not get together as an entire gender and decide to stop whatever the reasons are for such behavior.
"Girls are mean to each other gossip behind each others backs" every girl will tell you this, every girl hates it and yes every girl does it (obviously there are exceptions to every rule)
and maybe its because I am seeing the situation and world through the lens of a man but to me this problem seems very fix able. It starts with you... I'll try to put this into perspective, this is how I believe the scenario plays out...
me: "ugh someone slashed my tires"
Brian: "that sucks dude"
me: "yeah I'm going to slash someone else's tires because I hate it when it happens to me I'll in turn pass this misfortune and pain to someone else"
Brian: "you totally should in no way does that not make sense nor is it a bad idea"
Girls are mean to each other and none of them like it...so stop?
The Cavs and the entire city of Cleveland has gone into desperation mode.
The Cavs just fired their head coach Mike Brown after 5 years of being head coach. He was the winningest coach in Cavs history, leading them to the best record in the NBA the last two years.
And he got fired.
Now I understand that he failed to lead them to the NBA finals both of those years, but can that all be put on him? Absolutely not. Some of the Cavs players had atrocious games that certainly did not help them. This is merely a desperation move by the Cavs. They think they can help keep LeBron if they allow him to pick the next head coach.
Any other NBA team looking for a coach will GLADLY pick up Mike Brown. He was a good coach and the Cavs are just grasping at air now to keep LeBron. I guess we will see if it works. But if the Cavs lose LeBron, and they have lost the winningest coach in team history, then the Cavs will literally implode.
The city of Cleveland has also lost it with this video. This just highlights the sorry state of Ohio professional sports, if even our governor must lobby to keep LeBron. Good ole Cleveland.
Alan Dicken Do a post about things that might appear on your Bucket List if you had one
First off don't have a bucket list. I don't see the point in a bucket list because whether you accomplish your goals or not in the end you are still dead. If I visit every place in the world for if I never leave Ohio guess what in the end I'm worm food. Second off I'm a little disappointed my Cousin doesn't post more often. and Thirdly why does no one else post ideas in the ideas? discussion board on our faceSchuch fan page?
so if I did have a bucket list it would probably be to eat every type of animal meat that is legally possible. I know we would all like a drumstick off of a bald eagle but that's just not going to happen. I'm not just talking Goat, lamb, chicken, duck, cow, pig, and all others found on old McDonald's farm I'm talking about every animal possible
squirrel, raccoon, pheasant, emu, possum, giraffe, alligator, whale, elk, woodchuck, horse, bear, I could go on and on but you get the point. Now I'm sure the next question would be "how would you have them prepared? best way possible? all of them different? what?" and to that I respond: I would like them all made into a patty, grilled, and served as a burger. If you would like a copy of my bucket list it can be found at your nearest zoo.
Figured I'd do some paper work before I head to OU to see Second Cousin Brian Carr, his girlfriend, Shark, and Devin. I've been trying to travel every weekend so see friends and do exciting stuff as to not waste weekends. If you'd like to know what I am doing this weekend and weekends to come check out my twitter account. Since I don't know what to do with twitter and I think its very useless but nevertheless I still have one I decided to use it as a weekend update tool and a reminder so I can look back and see what I've done every weekend.
Remember back in the 80's and 90's when songs use to fade out? Why did they do that? like they couldn't figure out when or how to stop playing so they just kinda lowered the volume and called it a day? You don't see to many songs these days that fade out its kinda disappointing. What do these bands do for fade out songs when they are on tour and performing live? do they lower their voices and amps like at a wedding singing shout? and if they can end them in concert why not just end them on the album?
have you ever been in a situation where no matter what choice you make you are going to lose?
My road of life is filled with lose lose forks and you just have to learn to find the bright side of them.
Today started off like any lucky persons life would, with a bloody nose in the shower. Now I don't know if you've been privileged enough to have a bloody nose while taking a shower but its very convenient. First off in the shower you have nothing to plug your nose with, you are soaking wet so stepping out of the shower is just a delight. Not to mention the shower waters down your blood so there is four times as much blood everywhere dripping off of you. then you reach for TP and that stuff holds up great in water its just a mess all around. Anyway I get to work and everything is normal.
Around lunch my roommates want me to eat with them which is great but it means the lunch will take longer than normal which means I have to make that time up at the end of the day...this is the beginning of the lose lose situation of the day.
Earlier this week my coworkers had planned to do a happy hour at Bar Louie after work Friday I had told them I would attend. I later found out my roommates had made reservations at a restaurant for Friday at 6. why that early? I couldn't tell you.
So today rolls around and I have to tell all my coworkers I can't make it to happy hour because of the dinner plans. but since I took a longer lunch today I had to stay later. so I am rushing to get home in time to go to dinner my phone is blowing up but I am not allowed to text and drive in Columbus so I didn't want to get my phone out I finally manage to make it home and they had left me...
Lose Lose, I ditch happy hour for Dinner but miss dinner because I took too long of a lunch which made me stay later at work causing me to miss the dinner reservation. so what is the moral of this story you ask? I'll tell you, its to look on the bright side of these lose lose situations.
Look at me, am I pissed that I had two plans and now they quickly turned to no plans? of course not instead I can now do some long over due paper work and since its Friday get some laundry done. here I am alone in my house on the throne just taking it easy... some see lose lose I see win win, laundry and Paper Work what Fridays are for!
I can tell the fan base for this site is growing. Sunday Brian and I went to get into my car to drive to Dain's house for a BBQ. As we approached my car I noticed a loyal fan had smeared their paper work all over my windshield along with both driver and passenger side door handles. Needless today Brian and I were very thankful for the kind symbol of approval for this blog. Add that to the pro side of the list for living near Campus at Ohio State.
Today during my lunch break I was mouwing down some pizza rolls and washing them down with my juice box when I suddenly bit my lip. How can my body let me bite my lip? I breathe without thinking, beat my heart without thinking, walk without thinking. But if I'm doing some mad chewing my lip doesn't automatically get out the way? psh kinda BS if you ask me.
Alan Dicken Do a post about your perfect date. Including who the perfect person to be on that date is with
This Post is from our mailbagish portion of the faceSchuch fan page for Paper Work.In order for this to be my perfect date and fit everything in, the date would have to start sometime in the afternoon. So my date and I would first walk to a public park together and throw some rocks into some sort of body of water. next we would toss the disk a bit finally settling in for a nice picnic as we are eating our picnic and diving into intense intellectual conversation a outside concert with Lady Gaga and Kei$ha, singing only duets, starts up.
after the concert our driver arrives to pick us up, the vehicle is a 1978 El Camino with a couch in the back so we can sit and enjoy the scenery. as we approach the the dock our driver turns to look at us and says "we are here Mr. Schuch thanks for letting me drive you to the ship in your car" so I reply back "anytime...Brad Pitt"
As my date and I board our cruise ship just before it raises anchor. we are invited to the captain's chambers for a private dinner. As we are enjoying our meal of everything on the McDonald's menu the captain of the ship joins us and asks if everything is to our liking. after the meal the captain shows up around the ship and everything there is to do within it. then as we head back to shore my date and I enjoy the cool ocean breeze and the night stars.
as we come to shore we head back into the city of Columbus and head to a bar in the middle of fancy downtown we get invited to the VIP room. When we arrive I ask "who invited us up here?" the bouncer turns and points to a certain man holding two trophies of some sort.
The night gets late so my date and I decide to call it a night as we head back home and get cozy in bed watching a midnight marathon of rocko's modern life we slowly drift asleep.
oh and I think you know who my date would be.
The Cavs season ended about 5 minutes ago.
Their franchise might have just ended too.
With this loss, the Cavs have just finished the most disappointing season in recent memory. They had the best record in the NBA, were expected to win it all, and ended up losing the the Celtics who started the oldest roster in NBA history (I might have made that up, but it sure feels like it).
Now the ever growing question will grow rampant: will LeBron stay or go? With this loss, he now has every right to leave the Cavs. It clearly isn't getting done in Cleveland. Despite have the best record in consecutive seasons, the Cavs don't even have an NBA finals to show for it. Even though they have the (supposedly) best player in the world, and an apparently good supporting cast, they lost in 6 games to a team that barely was over .500 after the All-Star Break.
Sure, LeBron's legacy in Cleveland would be ruined if he leaves, but his NBA legacy will be ruined if he stays. If he wants a championship, he would be smart to partner up with the likes of Derrick Rose in Chicago, Amare or Bosh in New York, or Dwayne Wade in Miami. They sound a lot better than too-old-to-play-basketball Shaq and Antwan Jamison, or overrated Mo Williams.
So I suppose the question becomes which is more important to LeBron: his legacy in his hometown and state, or his place among histories greatest.
Guess we will find out if he wants to be the next Karl Malone or the compete to be the next Michael Jordan.
Today is my good friend Jake Richards' birthday having said that salt...
Salt although it goes by the same name there are many different kinds and mistaking one for another can be devastating...
Table Salt: this stuff goes on the table and food if you'd like
Deicing Salt: this stuff goes on sidewalks DO NOT put on food
Water Softener Salt: this stuff makes your water drinkable however although you think since it helps water which is something you consume, then it must be ok to put on your foods, again do not be misguided by this logic for it is false
Salt NaCl more like NaCHell if used incorrectly...Food for thought...but not all of it
What did people do before the internet?
I believe the Schuch household got the internet around the year 2000 which would put me at around 6th grade. and this is back when it took an hour to download one song off of Napster and that's if Pam didn't yell at you for tying up the phone line all night.
Think about how drastically different life would have been had I been born ten or twenty years earlier. In High School and College I would have had to actually go to a library and physically look for sources for all of my papers I've written.
This very blog...how would it work? I would have to write my blog then tape it up outside of my house then individually send actual mail (not electronic) to each of my subscribers telling them I have a new post up and to come by check it out and leave a comment. And put up fliers if I wanted to attract more viewers.
Class reunions, they are at this point worthless. Today, instead of having to wait 10 years to see if your life is impressive or an embarrassment to fellow classmates at a reunion, you can log on to faceSchuch in your spare time and note the successes of the kids you use to make fun of as you watch their lives surpass yours knowing that in the back of your mind they are looking at your page thinking "who's laughing now Schuch?"
Along with that, prior to the internet how am I suppose to settle arguments about how much better Jordan is that LeYawn Lames?
What's the deal with medicine? I don't know if I buy into the pharmaceutical industry. Do I think the whole thing is just a bunch of placebos? No but I certainly think some of it could be avoided.
I first started thinking this when the Restless Leg Syndrome ads hit my TV. wtf is this? your legs feel the urge to move? I mean everyone gets that every now and then is the only option a pill?
Recently I've been seeing ads for Lovaza some new pill that is suppose to cut down on Triglycerides or too much fat in the blood as the handsome doctor informs me on TV in his cool underwater research lab. He then continues to tell me that the pill has not been down to prevent heart attacks or stroke... so what's the point of the pill then? This is a serious question because I know nothing about this stuff and from the sounds of it this pill gets ride of fat in my blood but doesn't prevent strokes or heart attacks so it just gets ride of triglycerides which apparently don't put me at risk for anything...
I don't know if I buy into all this pill non sense and I'm usually not one for conspiracies but pharmaceuticals is a business just like any other and its main goal is customers to use the products. When I have a head ache or allergy season or a stomach ache the last thing I do is run to the pill cabinet. Maybe I'm wrong but if nothing else it keeps my pockets heavy.
So at my job I have a lot of alone time entering things into the computer in peace. This causes me to be alone with my thoughts from time to time and yesterday I thought of something
When something is really good, cool, awesome, sometimes people use words that mean the opposite. like that's gnarly, ill, nasty, sick. so I'm going to try and start my own word for when you want to deliver a positive reinforcing message.
"that's term"
alright on the surface a lot of you are probably confused and when confused with something they don't understand people get angry at it so before this process happens let me explain.
nasty, ill, sick these are all health problems or negative things right? so I was sitting at my desk thinking was the worst condition possible? Terminally sick people. Terminal cancer Terminal anything it is the worst (or best?) so I'm going to start using it and if you like what you're seeing I suggest you help start the revolution because if you aren't for us...your against us.
if this thing catches on its going to be term
First off Last night Travis Smith sent me a text informing me that the long awaited Yacht Rock Episode 12 made its debut which is incredible.
Anyway Tobacco...everyone hates on tobacco users wither you smoke it or chew it. Smokers have been shunned out of bars, restaurants, airplanes, and virtually everywhere else on earth. I don't smoke but I'll certainly fight for peoples rights too smoke so allow me to shed some light from the other end of the cigarette.
Tobacco provides 48,800 jobs at 114 factories in 21 states, and another 136,000 farmers in 23 states. Tobacco is a major part of the southern states economy.
The government wastes $250 million a year to counter tobacco advertising with anti-tobacco programs.
The per pack tax for cigarettes as of March 09 is at $1.01. Chewing tobacco is at .50 cents per pound. That's just at the federal level, State and local also get some coin thanks to smokers. That is a lot of tax money I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to pick up the slack for the tax money made from tobacco if the industry dies?
I'm not saying smoking is healthy for you, too much of anything is bad for you, not just smoking. all I'm saying is smokers get a lot of persecution and I feel bad for them. Let people do what they want, although you think smokers are cutting into your freedom to breath free air, when you prohibit smokers from the freedoms they deserve as American citizens aren't you being just as selfish as they seem to be?
An interesting sub plot has been forming for the 2010 NBA playoffs.
LeBron James' elbow is apparently injured. The world may end, so beware.
The reason this is such a big deal to me is that I hate the Cavs. Therefore, I don't much like Cavs fans (mainly only when they brag about their team, which they have had plenty of time to do this season). And now that there is this "injury" to the Queen, every single Cavs fan will use this as an excuse to why they will, eventually, lose in the playoffs.
All of the fans will say how they were still the best team and if LeBron hadn't have gotten hurt, they would have won for sure. Well I have some news for you, Cavs fans. LeBron has repeatedly said that it is not affecting his performance, and that it has been a problem for the past month.
Guess what his numbers have been over the last month? 29.3 points, 9.3 assists, and 8.7 rebounds. And his numbers for the playoffs? 31.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 8.7 rebounds per game. Doesn't seem like he is that seriously injured to me.
So when the Cavs lose, please do not use the injury excuse. You will just look like a whiny idiot.
And yes, I'm still upset that my team lost already in the playoffs. But that has nothing to do with this post. I think.
This past weekend as I was driving home from Hiram I had to stop for gas to refuel my car. As I was filling up the car I started to wonder. When you prop the kick stand like lever to the trigger of the gas pump how does it know when you click off? Every car has a different sized tank and every car has different amounts of preexisting gas in the tank how could it know when to click off? Obviously magic is the first and most reasonable response that comes to mind. Once I arrived home I swung by the Taco Bell near my apartment and as I was getting my order though the drive through window I saw the employee filling a cup with carbonated drink and guess what the machine did...it knew when to click off. How could it know the amount of fizz or the size of cup placed underneath it... again I don't understand how these things function so clearly it is some sort of witchcraft.
This past weekend I visited my second cousin Brian Carr at Hiram College. on my way there I had to hop on to Interstate 80 when I departed from the road I had to pay $1.25. Tolls are such a rip and I hate paying them, I pay state tax why should I have to pay again for road maintenance?
so thankfully I devised a turn pike toll avoidance system I like to call the three car conquest. allow me to explain
Now the first thing you'll need for this to work is three cars. now first before I go further this system is only for heavy pike drivers, since I learned it coasts Brian $11 one way to get from Wauseon to Hiram. now once you have three cars the first is your domestic car. this one is old faithful and your favorite to drive. this one is used for when you are home for daily activities.
second is the transporter this car is for pike use only so make sure its a hybrid something low maintenance.
and lastly is your getaway car, this is for destination use only once you arrive at your traveling location. here is how they all go together:
First you drive your domestic car to the pike. (but not to the toll booth) oh no instead you park it in a secret bat cave like hiding spot near the pike.
Next you walk to your transporter car. Now in this car you travel safely and thriftily to and fro on the toll road. "Adam what about gas?" don't worry there are rest stops for just such occasions.
Finally comes the third car. Once you have reached your destination you park your transporter car in another "bat cave" like hiding spot get out and walk to your getaway car off of the pike. this avoids all interactions with the toll booths completely. when you are ready to leave simply repeat the process in reverse order.
"Adam what about the cost of three cars?"
response: with all the money you save on tolls you'll be able to afford a lot more than just 3 cars.
The Nuggets deserved to lose against the Jazz.
Denver looked like they really didn't care if they won or lost, and each player had a sense of selfishness on the court.
A lot of people can blame their implosion on the loss of their coach, George Karl. And I agree slightly with their notion. But its not like Coach Karl left on purpose. He had cancer.
Instead of rallying around interim head coach Adrian Dantley and playing for Coach Karl as he fought through cancer, the team just gave up. What a disappointment. The Nuggets should have shown resolve in these games, playing for a coach fighting cancer, winning for him. But they didn't.
Not to mention the Jazz didn't play 2 of their 5 starters.
Through various interviews, it was obvious that the players did not respect Dantley as head coach. They played like they had no coach, often ignoring Dantley in the huddle and rarely running set plays. They usually just acted like they were playing one on one, finishing with some of their lowest assist totals of the year.
Just when everyone thought the Nuggets had grown up, they showed us they were as immature as ever. But don't worry Denver, I'm sure your coach appreciated the effort.
Underwear is a very strange concept if you sit down and think about it.
and since I'm sitting down right now I figured I'd think about it.
Underwear...clothing you wear under clothing. The point of clothes is to cover up your naked body. Now sure we can get into fashion and style and expression through clothes but if you get down to the root of clothing its to cover up. If we are already wearing clothes that cover up what purpose does underwear have?
back in the day there must have been alot of depanting bullies and one day the smartest nerd fashioned a secret second line of defense something that he would "wear under" his pants. this would destroy the depantsing bullies lifestyle. However bring new life to the wedgie bully.
Or underwear could have been a scam from the clothing industries to make another thing for us to buy. perhaps the idea came along when one person loved a pair of pants and his wife complained that its gross to wear the same clothes over and over so to get around it he said well technically I'm changing every day you just can't see it, so I get the comfort and style I want and you get the hygiene and odorless house.
whatever the reason for underwear it exists and I wear it and lets just leave it at that.

You guys give up yet? Or are you thirsty for more?
