npocs freshman status August 2003-May 2004
All good things must come to an end
except saved by the bell reruns, those will never end, thank god for that
anyways, its really early and I have just awoke from a major corona de mayo hangover after me, matt and sam decided to go across the street to the dairy mart and buy a case of natty and a 24oz of corona to celebrate the holiday
Just writing that makes me think, when the hell am I ever gonna be able to do that again
Down a case of natty lite in my room with 2 good friends while playing mario kart and ring of fire, running down the hallway to borrow a deck of cards, hooking up my fridge in a closet and stocking it full of natty and just gettin retarded and bullshittin bout stuff that would be unmentioned in a sober state
This year has been the greatest year of my life
I have no f'n clue where to start so Ill make a top ten list of sorts
Top Ten Greatest Times at WVU
10) Wednesday Nights at Z
5$ at the door, pay no more, me chris sam davey matt never missed a mug night, or as we changed it to, jug night, filling up the double gallon jugs of natty lite and downing them while singing country roads, acdc and bonjovi and line dancing at 230am to garth brooks with sam, a Wednesday night at Club Z is not to be missed
9) Sig Chi Frat Party With The Kentucky Gentelmen David Nest
Me and nest hiked up frat row and got to this party so damn early we were mistaken as pledges all night and therefore getting miller lites served to us at the bar, this is the party where nest received his well deserved nickname of the Kentucky Gentlemen after being handed a bottle of it and downing it like it was water, me and the Kent Gent went the distance going 9 til way past midnight
8)Shaler Night
Never have there been more people in my room, they started arriving early looking for a place to party on a Wednesday Night, and where to we take them? Club Z of course; ritter, jride, mal, maryjo, mcginly, medford, robo, jimmywayne, jenn, kenny, mankey and probably alot of people I forgot where joined by me, sam and monika and shaler officially took over mug night at Z, the foreigners had a hard time holding down there alcohol especially after the circle of doom, chug, spin, chug, many shalerlites were hugging the garbage can but we all made it back to the room as 20+ bodies were strewn across the floor and I took a huge test at 830am the next morning (97% mind you)
7) Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner with Sam
Sam: when you wanna eat?~*
npoc: be outside boreman in 8 minutes
Everyday, all day, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after our 1230s, breakfast before our 930s (when sam could wake up) and dinner at the mt. lair, mccoys and mean genes and french bread pizza night at arnold on fridays, sam ate as much as me if not more, always going back for more when I was already full, chris driving to towers was crucial, stealing the fork and straws and constantly sabotaging your drink or food, no matter how shitty the food was, I was glad you were there for the stories, comments, pickles, pineapples, croutons and always knowing what I was thinking or what I was looking at
6) Ritter Trips
Besides jride who lived in 161, no1 and I mean no1 made more trips down here than the morgantown legend Jason Ritter, it took a whole 1 day after classes started to get down here, he attended fall fest and got completely hammered, occasionaly larkin or donley or direnzo would attend, but the one constant was ritter, he would always be there, never one to miss a weekend in morgantahn, or weekday, he once drove down just for thursday night, and stayed all friday playing xbox despite having to go work, his morgantown infamy grew as he gave birth to his first son, Castillo, he sipped on the cheap spiced rum as if it were a fine cognac, he refused to allow me mix his drink or give him a chaser, he wanted it straight, he has slept on the floor, on chris's bed, on the mattress, in the wind tunnel, by the garbage can and in his car and he once used a soccer ball as a pillow, he has been to Z, pulse, grant street and frat row, he watched his beloved panthers fall in defeat to the mountaineers to football and get pay back in basketball (where ritter starts a massive rumble in the concourse of the Coliseum) and he once went an entire 3 day weekend in the same outfit, his buttondown became known campus wide and his cutlass ciera was revered by all, it once made the trip down to WVU on a donut after his tire exploded while ritter was goin 75 on the highway and he was fishtailing across lanes but the thought of WVU's weekend kept him on the road, that is dedication, that is Jason Ritter
5) Grant Street House Partys
Give me an address on Grant and I probably partyed there, 604, 208, 315A, 608, 524, keg stands, beer bongs, beer pong, natty lite, natty lite, natty lite, I attended over a half dozen house partys at 604, some of the greatest too, 608 may of been the single most incredible house party ever, 80s night, thats all that needs to be said, I've stumbled down grant before after playing one too many games of beer pong and waved at the officers, and yes I was there when the entire street nearly went up in flames
twice
4)Tuesdays at Chasers
Free Beer Night
perhaps my two most drunken episodes of the spring semester came at the hands of chasers tuesday Night, I ended up passed out in the bathroom after one night and on another driving around the tahn vandalizing gas stations, Sweet Home Alabama, "somebody get this kid a drink" that is the exact quote from the owner to chris, he was gettin chris free rum and cokes, we stayed til late, very late, everyone had wrist bands and the cups were lined up on the bar, sam poppin squats all over the place, so much more stuff that I can not remember
3)WVU vs Pitt
52-31, 52-31, 52-31
Ritter, mares, robo, jride, jennifer and torpedo tits all the made the trip down
pregamed excessively at jennys house with 2 kegs then all headed out to the night game and watched chaos ensue as the record crowd went crazy and caused larry fitzgerald to shit himself and disappear in the second half, no storming the field after the win, and just some minor riots, but what a night
Ritter and robo got lost all throughout morgantahn then me and mares contemplate stealing a spare tire off the back of a jeep so ritter can make it home without having to ride on donuts
just remember, NO PASSOUTS
oh yeah, and
52-31
2)Jride Weeks
some of the greatest weeks down here I got to spend with the greatest girl of all time, she had a better time down here that I did sometimes, permanently moving in and having chris predict the exact date she would leave, she became addicted to mean genes, highered her tolerance to an incredible level, knows grant street and high street like the back of her hand and to this day she is still mistaken as a student here, I love you baby, thanks for all the visits
1) WVU vs VTech
The greatest night of my life. <~~period
ALOT of pregaming in the room and jride and bernie surprised me with a last second trip down, the place was packed, the PIT was loaded, pictures with cops, drank WAY to much, seating was complete chaos, chris gets thrown out of the game and has his ID just taken, never to be returned, but he managed to return to the stadium, we moved down to the lower level and watched as WVU massacred the hokies 28-7 the rest could be seen on your local news
We rushed the field, I was shirtless and it was 20 degrees
I sprawled out on the 50 yard line ran into mike auge for the first time, charged at the field goal posts, got sprayed repeatedly with pepper spray and charged again, threw bleachers and spit at the cops and charged at the other field goal post, got sprayed again and couldn’t see but jride was there to guide me, I was one of the last people to leave and amazingly found my way back
I instantly headed to grant which was already on flames
couches, stoles, chairs, cars, telephone poles and wires, everything flames, news cameras everywhere, randomly started up porch parties and total and utter chaos, a real life riot
The greatest night of my life, I loved every second of it

There’s the top 10 list, I probably forgot a lot of shit but I know nothing can top #1, I would give a lot to be able to relive any of those moments over summer when I’m back in picksburg, all those times were well worth the price of tuition but apparently they throw in a degree too, does it get any better

161 Proof
By Nicholas Tolomeo and Daveyian Xavier Hines
The Book is currently in the works, we are looking to chronicle the year as seen through this room, we set the standard for craziness on the floor and the last night we went out with a bang just how we came in, from me Nathaniel and mike to me chris and mike to me daveyian and chris the room has seen a lot, we still are the untouchables and this book will truly be a masterpiece

WVU People
Npoc- if it wasn’t for my genius decision making there would be no WVU and hence no yearlong recap so the first shout out goes to me, a damn genius I must say
Chris- the most random kid of all time, you set the bar for crazy that may never be matched, you consumed more liquor and beer in your freshman year than some people do in a lifetime, you left here earning less than 8 credits in 2 semesters, that’s incredible, chris once hibernated in his cave for 2 straight weeks, he pops sleeping pills during dead week when everyone else is desperate to stay away to study, he left on Monday of finals week without taking any of his finals, still the craziest accomplishment you ever pulled off was pissing on mikes fan then attempting to piss on his bed, only last week you pissed on your wall while sleeping, I walked into my room one night to find him passed out on his bed naked with no covers, for nooo reason whatsoever, he has slept on the air hockey table, the pool table, the bathroom floor under the sinks, the lounge, and more places than anyone cares to know, his NOVA friends are ridiculously rich and crazy, JJ’s trips down here were rivaled only by ritters, hairy gynecologist, all yellow at the tech game, leading the student section in cheers, no class, taking a bath in Arnold, driving like a complete f’n lunatic, random road trips to slippery rocker and picksburg, el immagrante, the wide drunken eyes, the first person in Arnold to steal a couch, the collection of bottles, pissed wherever the hell you felt like, and too much shit to ever write about
A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail,
but a best friend is the one sitting next to you saying "that was fucking awesome”
Mike- One semester just wasn’t enough, but it was a good time while it lasted, you saved my computer numerous times, we stayed up to 2 and 3 am playing james bond constantly and Mario kart, you got me addicted to EBAY and kings of chaos, “you just cant win with this microwave”, lifting across the hall in the middle of the night, watching the most random late night shit on TV, cant wait to come to NOVA this summer, I gotta see your new bike
Davey- I walk into my room in January after winter break expecting to see 2 people in a three person room and all of a sudden this black man comes outta nowhere, Dirty Jerz invaded 161 and just made it 161 times crazier, eating in the Arnold café then running straight for the shitter about 2 minutes after finishing, the only person to know more tv theme songs than me, DA BAND, your banned, one of the funniest things of all time was you yelling out the window through the fan to girls crossing Willey Street, launching water balloons out the window, poker and wings in the lounge, getting ridiculously retarded in the room, taking shots to the face, gunning entire bottles of jungle juice, Z, pulse, chasers, the cosby and steve harvey show, the 20 incher, downing food at 3am just not wanting to sleep, getting Arubs and Ben to come down here, wilin out, Wheeling Casino, all those random ass DVD’s you always brought back from blockbuster, so fresh and so clean, goin crazy with us at the Pitt game despite having to go to work, ping pong with our hands in the middle of the night, the booty buffer, Don’t worry, next year, we’ll rage more than ever
Sammy- The last of the 161 roommates, I didn’t know who the hell you were in high school but it’s a good thing you finally started walking up price street and not north high street, your my best friend even through all the fights (actual fights, like punches and low blows) and cut ups, you could write a book with all the advice I gave you that you never used but at least you used some of it, your 21 ID was crucial, you drank as much as all the guys at the bars and house parties, your keg stand at jennys house is still on the wall of records, thanks for not being fake (most of the time) bama and GB, toooo weird, getting busted with us every time we get written up (and getting off the hook every time to) coming along for whatever crazy shit we do, stealing something from whatever bar we go to, every single night, betboop stories, the rides home with paul in the haser mobile, the trip to get your BC, we meet the most random and strange people wherever we go in public, and they always hear what I say about them and talk to us, Mario Kart, knowing more shit about myself than I do, we each rescued each other from the bathroom after passing out, the clarks, twice, running back and forth to maintain are buzz pissin wherever we felt like, talking in the boreman starewell for hours watchin drunken chicks stumble in, watching people fall and laughing for hours about it, representing shaler chugging PBR at FIGI and line dancing with me to garth brooks at Z and FIGI cause you know no one else there knows how to, 15% of the stuff in this room you stole from a bar, Ring of Fire, never have I ever, summer in picksburgs gonna blow especially for you since you wont have your license until about June of 2005, we are going to all the country concerts this summer, and the parties at our houses will be insane, especially you and your party house, and I cant wait to have philo and math with you next semester, so I can sleep in and you can sign my name on the attendance sheet, Terrific Two fo life, TII, don’t you ever forget it
The Kentucky Gentlemen David Nest- The king of chugging, I would pay admission to watch the Kent Gent down a cup of beer in a little over a second, the biggest redneck on campus, talking NASCAR, paper scissors rock determining everything, the 48 hours with nest, random road trip up to the rock with us and back, techno station, doin the rave dance with the cell phones, co-writing songs with me, the one liners, “Bitches and Keg House Tonight, I’m leaving with one or the other” your crazy ass stories from the first 2 months, behind the tree, the cock block, scarf, “I need my inhaler”, the football games, the gator bowl in Jacksonville, 2 of the best days ever, big black Ron, ring of fire, smoking a cigarette every 8.3 seconds, always finding your ass outside of towers, the country concerts this summer and the house next year, clutch
Crazy Matt- The name implies it all, normal by day by totally insane after downing numerous beverages, you know more shit about sports than I do, meeting Pettitte at PNC Park was clutch and driving up to Pitt to see Bon Jovi, D’s express, you pullin off the footlong at McCoys all the time, analyzing chicks, ring of fire, sleeping through geology (if we went) Corona de mayo, SKIN TO WIN, mardi gras and the beads party, Z and pulse, living across the street next year is gonna be excellent
Auge- It’s so crazy that we both came here after I left st.rays in 5th grade, charging the goal post after the tech game with you was awesome and all the Morningside kids you brought down, stealing the huge ass beer bong is still the top 5 funniest moments down here, the st. pattys day cup, beer bonging at FIGI, 608 grant and basically anywhere you went, drinkin til completely obliterated, st.rays raised us well
2nd Floor Annex- Whenever shit goes down everyone knows who it is, yinz guys always admired are excellent work, hanging out in alec and toms room well after they’re passed out, ryan always comin to chasers with us, jay always ranting about filthadelphia and its pathetic sport teams, McCauley “what she add on 30 pounds this semester” Marcus getting ridiculous in the room and always trying to deal something, and of course CANDY the greatest Resident Hall Coordinator ever, we still are untouchable and after over 30 write-ups, not one fine was paid
Monoka- I first ran into down here at fallfest and we were both hammered, actually I think all the times we saw each other was at the bars while both under some sort of influence, 123 pleasant street seeing the clarks two times was huge, your always grabbing the set list and drum sticks, it was a good time at the wvu/pitt basketball game, watch that liver of urs, we still got at least 3 years left
Sykes- When you came downtown we always ran into each other then we both got so drunk we kept actually running into each other all nite, 604 grant, Halloween, Pi kap beads party, after towers next year you gotta move dahntahn
Rachie B- your blog is hilarious, knocking over the ketchup at mccoys is still classic, seeing the clarks concert, twice, keep the stories on your blog coming, I rely on them
Johnathan- Katha, Katha, Katha, chew on this gibberish for awhile, an English conference wouldn’t be the same without some derogatory comment towards women in your paper, McLane Avenue next year, that much more insane
Brad- All the way from Arizona I don’t know how the hell you ended up here, killing an entire bottle of captain in the room, derby days, beads party, beer pong, I might be down NOVA while your still there, I shit you not
6th Floor Braxton- Its good to know im still known as dahntahn up towers, scarf, Justin, stifler, nick, special teams joe and that kid that looks like he is 5,

I know I forgot a whole shitload of people, just IM you and ill be sure not to put you in next time either you whining bastards

And a special thanks to wanna be WVU student, Jride, thanks for letting me come here and letting me go out 4-6 nights a week and thanks for all the trips down here, experiencing things with you for the first time makes it 16 times better, nobody has more WVU clothes (I know cause I had to pay for them) or more WVU pride than her, a diehard football/basketball fan, she never misses a game
I love you willbee

The DA- I got an opportunity to have a bi-weekly column in the student newspaper, its been great getting to push my anti barry bonds agenda and have students read it in lecture halls and not knowing I am sitting right behind them, its kinda weird, I got to meet great people and got to cover the gymnastic team, they are really freaking incredible, they are soooo damn hot and they dominate their conference, me and sam never miss a meet

Officer Prickett- Being arrested in my bloody wife beater, mesh shorts, work boots and cowboy hot while very unsober may have sucked at the time but looking back made Halloween so much funnier, the passed out cowgirl in the sheriffs office, finger prints and my mug shot with my hair nearly touching the sealing, the random signature that me and chris refused to sign, and we got one last farewell to Prickett as he watched us put our bottle collection all around the hallway last night

Jaime Elizabeth Keith- Sams identical twin and 21, incredible, without knowing me Ms. Keith has contributed to my nightlife at West Virginia more than most, thanks Jaime

And huge thanks to home-style popcorn, I hate butter and plain kernels are the best thing goin around town
