last postWell Mindsay, I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, but...
...there's someone else.
Their name is Tumblr.
Now I know what you're thinking- but let's be honest, the last time I wrote something here was Jan 12th, 2010.
It's been over for awhile.
I really think I was just trying to avoid the inevitable. I hope you won't think ill of me. I really did try to make it work. But, unfortunately, I have a new home for my thoughts: mchurst.tumblr.com.
I sincerely hope that others post on you and keep you alive. Perhaps you, Myspace and LiveJournal can form a group of my formerly frequented sites. I'm sure Angelfire, AskJeeves, and Geocities will be there to comfort you when you see me out with Google, Facebook and Tumblr on the web. If you see me with Twitter, well, we're just friends.
Don't be sad. The future is all about change, and really, I'm ready for new things. So please, hold on to my previous posts and past life and take solace in serving as a virtual testament to my life's journey from 2005 until now.
Thanks for everything, and you stay classy Mindsay.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Hurst

Spider-Man 4 Cancelled
Thank you GOD. The Vulture??? Come on people. After the wreck that was Spider-Man 3, they went with Raimi and Co for ANOTHER outing? You gotta be kidding me. If we're lucky, Disney/Marvel will buy back the rights now and make a movie in the same Universe as Iron-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Ant Man and the Avengers. THAT is what needs to happen. And we need a Spidey who can have adventures without Mary Jane at the forefront. That was a huge mistake on Raimi's part in the first film: "This, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl." Pssh. Dumb. It's all about responsibility, growing up and SPIDER-POWERS. Durr. With 40 years of canon to follow, they put MJ in the first movie as the love interest. Oh man I could complain about so much more in the other films (as much as I loved them) but they were good for what they were: non-canon super hero movies. Oh well. Here's hoping Marvel can pick it up and breathe life back into it. Article is below.
Spider-Man 4 CANCELLED
"The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog confirmed late today that Spider-Man 4, a movie that had recently hit the brakes due to creative differences primarily over what villain the movie should use, has been outright canceled.
Columbia, Sony, and Marvel Studios will instead reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise, launching a new series of films with Peter Parker in high school, more similar to the take on the character seen in Marvel Comics' Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. With the relaunch, director Sam Raimi and stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, who had been involved with the first three big screen successes, all part ways with the franchise.
Raimi presented far from sour grapes, instead wishing Marvel luck saying, "the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.""

It Was This or Procrasturbatio...
I am about to begin an epic studying session for my Econ 460 exam tomorrow at 9am.
Today consisted of:
-Waking up earlier than I was supposed to (which was actually a good thing)
-Not having a quiz in English (good because I didn't read the whole section assigned)
-Finding out that Alison decided to take the teaching job (great for her, possibly not so good for me, but I can now say that I am dating/have dated a teacher lol)
-Easy day at work
-Not-so-helpful review session for said Econ class
-Finishing watching Choke (weird movie)
-Seeing a greater-than-expected amount of TKEs at the quarterly beer pong tournament/cigar night (and finding out we're giving bids to five new guys tomorrow which is good)
-Writing this post.
-Realizing that today was fairly simplistic/boring, but oh well.
Well kids, hope you all wanted to know about me and my day- I don't have time for thoughtful provocative posts these days lol. Have a great night and if I miss posting tomorrow- a great weekend!

Meh.
Not too much to talk about today.
Got my new PS3 and got it set up- it's definitely nice.
Grabbed some comics- of which the amazing Clone Saga storyline in Amazing Spider-man was ended (and was good).
Still have to read a bunch of my book for English tomorrow and I didn't do any studying for Econ. Whoops-a-daisy. C'est la vie.
Hope everybody had a good hump day! (And again, Happy Birthday Sarah!)

This Week is Really Going Downhill
What a delightful week for me to blog again.
I'm realizing how confused I am in my Econ classes, and wondering why I decided to be an Econ major...
Our teacher asked us to fill out a 1040 Tax Form with relatively little information... I'm completely lost. I have numbers here and there... and don't know what to fill in in between. I swear to God if he collects this tomorrow I'm so screwed.
I have a test in my other Econ class Friday that I haven't started studying for, and that I am likely destined to fail. This is not pleasing knowledge.
The good news is...
Ha! Just kidding. No good news today.
Thus ends Reunion Tour Part Three.

Day Two...Point Five.
Well, not getting on the internet from 9pm until the next day makes it difficult to remember to blog.
Yesterday felt really busy... and I was most definitely grumpy when I had to read 90 pages for ONE CLASS last night.
In addition, TKE is really stressful right now. We have our charter, and we're official, yes, but we still have to recruit, and all the old members (myself included) are disinclined to work towards meeting Freshmen when we're all about to graduate.
At our Bi-Annual Meeting in New Orleans, our Regional Advisor told us we should get 30 people to replace all the graduating men, and to cover for anyone who should choose to drop out.
We only have FIVE towards that goal for this year.
Working as treasurer has never been more stressful either- we have almost no money in the bank because people are failing to pay on time left and right. Right now I am owed like $2500 bucks.
Also: Alison was offered a teaching job in Oxford, NC, which would exponentially increase how busy she is. It's great that she might have a job (if she chooses to take it) but what is that going to mean for us? I don't know.
What's more important than any of this though- I have no idea what to do with my life. I don't have the recommendations I need to apply for the MAC Program, and I haven't even taken the GMAT yet. Now my brain is telling me "Why even try?" That's not a great mindset to have. Should I be looking for jobs instead? I don't know what to do or when to do it. This is a problem.

As Good a Time As Any
Time for the Reunion Tour - Props to @Smurfy for the great idea.
So, last blog (over a month ago) I noted that I finally had a girlfriend. Here's the elaboration I promised.
Her name is Alison, she's a few months older than me but already graduated (back in May) and is currently looking for a job teaching (interview tomorrow- we'll see how that goes).
She's pretty awesome, very laid back, but likes to go drinking and dancing or just staying in and watching a movie (I'm currently making her watch a bunch of horror movies and it's hilarious cause she FREAKS out). Now that Halloween is over though I guess we'll go back to non-horror movies for a bit.
She's almost two inches taller than me though, which is an interesting proposition. She wore three inch heels to one of my cocktails and THAT was amusing to say the least. Oh well, she doesn't care and I don't either (too much lol) so it works.
So right now, things are great. I'm constantly worried about my future though. Seems like I have so much to do and I'm never going to get around to it. BUT I NEED TO. Oh goodness. Nevertheless, I'm doing pretty well except for a nasty cough, my PS3 having been stolen mid-October (new one arrives this week), and the fact that I need to do laundry today.
On that note, that's a wrap for Post One of the Reunion Tour.

Beatles Rock Band
Oh man. It's so good.
And once again, I've been introduced to songs I didn't know existed: If I Needed Someone, Do You Want to Know a Secret, and I'm Looking Through You.
Also reintroduced to Taxman, The End, and Twist and Shout (don't ask me how I didn't have that one).
Can't wait for the DLC to come pouring in!
