from having to drive anywhere of long distance on Wednesday, I will have been able to go one month without having to fill my car up with gas. My car also has only a 12-gallon tank which is even more amazing. I'm at about 1/4 tank left and one day I drove to Flint and back.

If you are Steen, you are too lazy to do your three dishes for an entire week. One week ago, I took a picture after a few days of the same dishes being in the sink. A week later, and the dishes have not moved.<br /><br />Last week:<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RyAdbOQoGFI/AAAAAAAAACE/iRuC9J5BhqA/s1600-h/IMG_1553.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125128729469130834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RyAdbOQoGFI/AAAAAAAAACE/iRuC9J5BhqA/s320/IMG_1553.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />One week later:<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RyAdbeQoGGI/AAAAAAAAACM/CMSrXpJtrvc/s1600-h/IMG_1554.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125128733764098146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RyAdbeQoGGI/AAAAAAAAACM/CMSrXpJtrvc/s320/IMG_1554.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-836440264423689892007-10-21T16:35:00.000-05:002007-10-21T16:46:39.569-05:00Well........I figure I should put something up here to give Steen something to read since he's been visiting my site an awful lot lately. It's not difficult to figure it out when your site has statistical information. The one day I could not believe he went to the site four times in one day.<br /><br /><a href="http://getclicky.com/stats/rss?site_id=1418&amp;sitekey=e433b3917539&amp;type=visitors&amp;date=2007-10-18">http://getclicky.com/stats/rss?site_id=1418&amp;sitekey=e433b3917539&amp;type=visitors&amp;date=2007-10-18</a><br /><br />The 35.10.86.109 is him. Also he was there today from The Communication of Arts and Sciences lab. My site is not hard to remember either, yet he kept having to type in Jamie Rytlewski for a google search one day. That was CLASSIC!! Today he typed in jamier.net as a search. At least he was closer, maybe next time he will not have to use google at all. <br /><br />I haven't had much to write about him, except that he still stinks and still does not know how to do dishes. The same dishes have been in the sink since Wednesday. I wonder why we had bugs in the house we lived at last summer. It's Ok though, it just proves how lazy that he is. If he cannot wash three dishes that have been in the sink since Wednesday. He used to try to blame his girlfriend for being the messy one. He was talking shit about her saying that when she moved in at the end of last semester that she made his room a mess. I tend to disagree now, I think she just duplicated the mess, so his room had the appearance of being messier. Another thing those two have in common is they are both slobs.Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-6242080017597611032007-10-05T16:33:00.000-05:002007-10-05T16:44:38.806-05:00Uh oh!<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RwawCcvVMhI/AAAAAAAAABM/VqPBGGLK5uc/s1600-h/IMG_1538.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117971582674088466" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_i7wTbHl8IGA/RwawCcvVMhI/AAAAAAAAABM/VqPBGGLK5uc/s320/IMG_1538.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Steen left a way for me/someone else to get into his room.

I seen that Steen left for the weekend with a friend. If he did not put that lock on his door, my addiction to smelly things would not be broken. I would be in his room every day/night and probably even sleep in his room just so I could roll around in his sweaty/smelly room. Also, I want to go in his room and watch his TV, since my HDTV sucks balls compared to his CRT.<br /><br />He probably took his computer, so I can't search his computer for his love notes towards me. Man...thank you Steen. I would have wasted SO much of my time this weekend going through your room, now I can do other things.Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-9240022511599574792007-10-05T12:04:00.000-05:002007-10-05T12:11:24.931-05:00Now I have seen it all!!Ha, my roommate is the biggest douchebag in the world. After four months of living together, he now decides he needs a lock on his door. That is the first place that I like to go when he's not around. Now he has a lock, oh no, what do I do. (Sarcasm in case you can't tell). How pathetic is that, that you are buying a lock for your door. We used to be friends until he told me that I can not believe anything he says.<br /><br />I think I need to get a lock now. If he's getting a lock, maybe he goes into my room and thinks I will go into his room because he goes into mine. Although I have nothing to hide. If we do have a burglar come in, they will hit his room first probably, since it has a lock, it has to have more valuable stuff.<br /><br />Maybe he thinks I'm going to kill him in his sleep. Whatever it is, it is about the most pathetic thing that I have ever seen. Once again proving to Dan at work why we will never be friends. There is a MAJOR trust issue that has been broken and will never be fixed. If he has to get a lock for his room, he doesn't trust me. I'll admit, I went into his room once about two months ago. Although, his door was WIDE open and his fan was on. I went in to turn off his multiple fans as it was wasting electricity and blowing the smell from his room into the living room. <br /><br />What a giant douche.Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-45423235378248806672007-09-16T22:00:00.001-05:002007-09-16T22:17:25.923-05:00Stories (part 1)So...as some people know, my roommate and I, who used to be good friends, are no longer talking. There are many reasons that we are not talking, and I was not sure about whether or not to share them, but I figured I would possibly share a story or two a day. <br /><br />Steen always said I was sort of over bearing when it came to the appearance of the apartment. Of course, now that we are not talking, he has decided to not do his dishes. Which is one reason we do not talk, I think he's lazy. He has had one pot and one plate in the sink for over a week that has never been washed. How lazy can you get? You can't spend five minutes (if that) to was a pot and a plate. It's not like he was at work all week. <br /><br />Besides that, my girlfriend and I have come up with a new terminology when someone is lying, we call it Steening (since my roommates name is Steen). I figured I would tell a story about how it came to be and maybe I'll continue with stories all week. <br /><br />So one day Steen came home with two 6-packs of this beer called <a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/landshark-lager/68574/">Land Shark</a>. Steen said that he had BOUGHT the beer for me, (bought was capitalized as that is important to this story) as the beer was his girlfriend's FAVORITE beer. I made a comment and a face, as I could tell by looking at it, that it was a Corona rip-off and I do not like Corona. He got EMO and was sad since he tries to buy me beer and I never like it. He got me some Danish beer, which I did sincerely appreciate as it was awesome to have a beer from another country. I started to feel bad though as he went out of his to way to think of me and BUY the beer for me.<br /><br />After I started to do some thinking, I realized how much Steen talked about how his girlfriend does not drink. So my question to Steen was, "How can it be your girlfriend's favorite, if she doesn't drink?" He ended up telling me that he actually got it for FREE as it was extra beer from the Traverse City Film Festival. So he lied about buying the beer as it was free. He lied about it being he girlfriend's favorite as she doesn't drink. I felt a little bit bad also for thrashing a beer I thought he bought. <br /><br />Granted, this might be minor to some, but it just is part of the lies I have lived with all summer. I plan on sharing more stories as one guy at work wanted to hear them.Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-84903968638786853192007-09-14T09:39:00.001-05:002007-09-14T09:39:19.289-05:00My new TV<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamier/1130887289/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1100/1130887289_8631372df1_m.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamier/1130887289/">My new TV</a> <br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jamier/">jamierytlewski</a></span><br clear="all" /><p>test</p>Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-25965603392426636882007-09-11T22:10:00.000-05:002007-09-11T22:21:28.173-05:00MathI feel like seeing how many people can do math.<br /><br />Rent - $725<br />Cable - $40<br />Internet - $40<br />Total - $805<br /><br />Seems easy enough. Split with a roommate, the total becomes $402.50. Whoo!! I know that may have been tough for some, but stick with me, it gets trickier. Ok, so let's say that your roommate doesn't want/need cable any more, but you still do. So you take on the whole cable bill. What is yours and your rommates bill now?<br /><br />Now I calculated it to be:<br /><br />$402.50 + $20 = $422.50. <br /><br />The $20 comes from his 1/2 of the cable bill. <br /><br />So now what would his bill be? $402.50 - $20 = $382.50. <br /><br />So when your rommate bitches at you for paying the "full" amount to the leasing office, including cable, even though he is not using it and threatens to tell the leasing office to cut off the cable, who is the dumbass? I do not believe it is me, but I might be wrong. It is not my fault that he could not subtract $20 from what he used to pay for rent to take care of the cable that he am not using.Jamie Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11426672364083453367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925135698974648713.post-31361907223309255932007-09-06T21:02:00.001-05:002007-09-06T21:04:06.939-05:00First Test<p>This is a test using Windows Live Writer.
