Create a Mural!
Do yall like flyers? I found one in my inbox with the promise of 'beer and couch space' if I posted it here.
TBH I usually don't like flyers, via they do not actually 'fly'. But this one is pretty chill. I always wanted to help make a mural at SMCM (via I like that PG mural a lot) so this is our chance to do so!
Seems like as long as you have a cool idea about St. Mary's then you will be able to add it to the mural. Take this opportunity to leave your mark on the campus!

Urgo looking at things
Usually I would say other blogs are 'lame' (via I hate competition) but this one is funny. It's a blog of Urgo looking at things. http://josephurgolookingatthings.tumblr.com/
St. Mary's Day Video
2012 Prezzy Dingle made a great video about St. Mary's Day. I think he is tryna become a 'news reporter'. Not really sure what those are, I think they are like video bloggers. Some sort of new trend/fad, not sure if it is gonna work out. He should probably focus on bloggin.
Anyway, if you are old or were too lazy to go then check out this video.

SGA Meeting 3/6
The first time I live blogged an SGA meeting was September 23rd, 2008. The last time I truly liveblogged an SGA Meeting was April 27th, 2010.
Actually, I would really recommend reading that first liveblog from 2008, there are a lot of things that would end up being major parts of the blog and campus itself like
8:00 - I arrive and stand awkwardly outside pretending to text.
8:03 - I enter and President Snyder immediately begins talking to me.
8:04 - It's already full and it's only been four minutes, this SGA is good at not being late. Also only the Vice President and Parliamentarian a sit up front now which is an interesting change.
8:06 - It hath begun.
8:07 - They no longer have nametags for everyone #buschleague
8:08 - Kate does not hit her gavel very hard.
8:10 - Urgo is the guest speaker, he is talking about the Dean of Students position (look forward to a saucy post on that tomorrow) which was recently vacated. Urgo says it was a 'mutual decision' #IYSS
8:11 - Urgo is looking pretty. Also there will be a national search. NATIONAL SEARCH RETURNS YALL #basedgod
8:12 - Someone says the new Dean should be approachable. No shit.
8:14 - Mark was just told to speak up, I think he may have a cold/sore throat. Feel better bb.
8:17 - I think the new Dean should be like the Dean from the Simpsons Bobby Peterson. IDK if that is possible via (ATTN: anonymous who recently complained about my use of 'via,' lol not gonna stop #sorryimnotsorry) he is a cartoon.
8:19 - Mumby brought up Maggi O'Brien hiding in her office. I think he confused office with abroad/her winery.
8:20 - Urgo looks thinner I wonder if he has been ~workin out~ #swag
8:21 - More suggestions about the new Dean that are all pretty legitimate but also not things that I am super interested in.
8:22 - What I am interested in is Urgo's hair, I feel like the hairline is more defined and the back part goes lower now. Anyone care to comment on changes to Urgo's hair?
8:23 - "New Dean should drive a hybrid and be a happy person" #hippie
8:25 - Apparently Student Trustee Maurielle Stewart stole a 'Bugle' from Prez Dingle. Not sure if she is talking about the instrument or the 'stoner food'. She alerted me via the twitter (follow me @SMCMLOL for relevant news updates).
8:27 - MHECbro is saying something confusing that I do not understand about Jboard and precedents and blah blah blah
8:29 - "Do you do a criminal background check on candidates?" I hope not, personally I want our new Dean to be a convicted felon/drug dealer (actually that could rule).
8:31 - Bloggin makes me sleepy.
8:32 - Someone just apologized for being late to SGA #YOLO
8:37 - I think Prez Dingle is tryna establish the point that we should get a Dean who is okay with 'May Day'.
8:41 - Sometimes people ask kinda dumb questions
8:42 - "So in Absalom, Absalom!" lololol
8:43 - Urgo is done, moving onto Resolution supporting a Living Wage for all Staff Members.
8:46 - Are you fucking kidding me!?! Terrorist Newspaper Pointless News just posted and article about 'People who hate The Point News' and left me out. This is bullshit, I've hated The Point News since September of 2008.
8:51 - "We'renot trying to attack Urgo with this"
8:52 - What the fuck are you even trying to say, are you trying to imply the staff will beat the Senate up if we don't pass this? MHECbro I don't understand you.
8:54 - Kelly Schroeder (luv u Kelly) brought up the point that Staff refers not only to Maintenance, Housekeeping, etc. but also to people in Student Affairs etc.
9:00 - "If we are going to pay them more, are they going to work harder?" oh my god are you serious, #getout. I don't think you understand what the purpose of a ~Living Wage~ is. The entire idea is to pay people enough so that they can actually live a good life free of debt. Get your Ayn Rand bullshit philosophy out of here.
9:02 - Same Rugby bro "Can we get them to start cleaning the bathrooms in the Townhouses" what the hell, hire a maid if you are that lazy
9:06 - Via facebook stalking, profile picture on a boat, Econ major, went to a $13,000 a year private high school, which is literally half of what some of these people are getting paid. Stop hating poor people, Jesus Christ. Some fucking Catholic.
9:16 - Resolution passed.
9:17 - Rugbybro "candy machines are always cash only" #firstworldproblems
9:20 - Meeting is wrapping up
9:21 - Meeting over!
Missu SGA
Here is the Agenda for the meeting:
BLOG LATER
Actually, I would really recommend reading that first liveblog from 2008, there are a lot of things that would end up being major parts of the blog and campus itself like
- Trays were eventually removed from the Great Room
- Clubs passing w/o any debate ever
- My hatred for the Terrorist Newspaper The Point News
- Stipends for recycling and composting coordinators, which became a big part of my life
- Club websites, which was another big part of my life
- And SGA being boring

Swings
Whenever I see an image of the swingset outside the library I am filled with emotion and nostalgia and memories.
A really pure area, devoid of stress or worry. The only issue is which swing you want to use. And it's right outside the library, so when life/school seems impossible it is always there waiting for you to relax and swing.
Overlooking the pond and river, you can always see beautiful sunsets and people walking along the path near QA or on Route 5. I can vividly recall at least a dozen meaningful conversations I had there.
Even though it is really simple and I only spent a few hours of my life there, I think it is something that I will always think about when I need to escape the real world for a moment and focus on something simple and rhythmic, something that makes sense.
