Things On My Mind 5/18
Things I’ve noticed with all the time I have to myself so far this summer…
1. There’s only one good NBA playoff series every round, the rest can cure insomnia for neutral fans.
2. Artists can basically charge whatever they want for a ticket to a concert, and then Ticketmaster or Livenation will just add fees for ridiculous things like “service charge”, “ticket fee”, “order charge”, and “venue fee”.
3. For some reason I have several red hairs under my chin mixed in with the normal color. WTF?
4. The Phillies’ starting pitching is averaging a 6.50 ERA. Goes along great with our closer’s 8.31 ERA.
5. I’m perfectly content with eating cereal for all three meals.
6. Car salesmen have got to be the most sociably adaptive people in the world. I could have told the one guy that I was a terrorist from Al-Queda and he would have been like, “oh, I have the perfect car for you…”
7. It amazes me that people still get upset from LOST episodes. It’s what, the 5th season? Did you honestly expect all of your questions to be answered in this episode? And, what, were people not expecting a cliff-hanger in this season’s finale?? I don’t know, there hasn’t been one in the past 4 finales, so why would there be one this time…? Oh wait…
8. That being said, amazing LOST finale.
9. Why are they bringing Scrubs back? It ended perfectly. I hope they call it something else, like “Sacred Heart Interns” or “Cox and Chocolate Bear Run Shit”.
10. Ok, I miss Loyola, its official.
11. The Sportscenter commercial with Albert Pujols is hilarious.
12. I’m so glad Kornheiser is off Monday Night Football. Love him, but he needed to go.
13. I haven’t gone back to work yet, but already … ugh.
14. Guitar Hero Metallica is the best Guitar Hero yet. Hands down. Not even close.
15. Even if the forecast is overcast, I need to wear sunscreen for day baseball games due to my overly perceptible whiteness, because I will burn even when the sun shines through for only 11% of the game.
16. There’s no way I should be in 7th place in this fantasy baseball league. I have the most runs, second most home runs, second most rbis, tied for third most stolen bases, tied for second most wins, least losses, least home runs, second most k’s, and second best era and whip. And all other categories I’m no less than 6th best. WTF?
17. Apparently laptop chargers cost $95.50 plus tax…
18. NBA Live 2003 may give FIFA 2006 a run for its money as most frustrating video game.
19. Never take Wawa for granted.
20. When did Paula (The Duel 2, MTV Wed 10pm) become such a bitch? She was cool her first 2 or 3 Challenges, and then on this one she just became the prototypical bitch.

Around the Tube 5/13
Make sure you all watch LOST tonight. One hour special at 8pm, and then the 2 hour series finale at 9pm. Should be really good, and I'm predicting a surprise appearance by someone from LOST seasons' past... It's possible that someone may die (someone usually does in the finales), but I'm going to predict that no major characters die this time...
Also, The Duel II is tonight at 10pm, but it re-airs at 11pm (because MTV can only show the Hills so many times...) so be sure to catch it then after LOST is done. I'm thinking Dunbar's gone and the girls like to put rookies in the duel so I think this could be the end for Brittani or Kimberly.
Finally, if you're not in to LOST or the one sensible reality show on MTV, be sure to watch game 7 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals. Not sure what channel its on. Probably something like VS., or NHL network, or ESPN 8 the Ocho...

Scrubs
So I watched the season (possibly series) finale of Scrubs this afternoon and was blown away. This was hands down the best episode I have ever seen of the show. I honestly don’t think they could have done a better job of closing the show, having JD’s future in dream sequences as he made his way out of Sacred Heart for the last time. I also loved how Elliot carried JD after the wedding and how Hooch really is crazy. If this is in fact the last time we see Scrubs, it couldn’t have gone out on a better note.
Lost
WTF? All I can say is: I can’t wait for the finale next week.
The Duel 2
Wow. I can’t believe that Ruthie lost. Ruthie is so strong and tough for how tiny she is, but rookie Kimberly got the better of her by doing something that most people can’t do: outsmart Ruthie. I can’t tell if Isaac was serious about his grudge against Landon for the toenail, but even so, why call Landon into the duel? It makes no sense. He’s clearly the best competitor there, and you don’t want to make him be the one who sends you home.
I still have Landon Brad and Mark winning for the guys, but now since Ruthie’s gone I have Rachael, Diem, and now Jenn winning for the girls. I continue to think that Kimberly is one of the best girls in the game, as well as Brittany, but I feel that her rookie stature will continue to keep people putting her in the duel and eventually she will be sent home.

I'm Home
So at 6:40pm EST today, Thursday May 7, I finally unloaded my mom’s van of all my stuff from my dorm. It was the final motions of what was a great sophomore year.
But where did it go? It seems like just yesterday I was starting the classes of second semester.
The year was definitely a memorable one, chock full of very high ups that I will cherish forever and catastrophic lows that stunned everyone. But as I begin my summer that I’m sure I will get bored with in around 10-15 days, I can’t help but look towards next year.
It’s going to be different living with a bunch of my friends going abroad to various locations for half or some the full year. It’s going to be different actually knowing who my direct roommate is beforehand. It’s going to be different not having to swipe in at a desk every time. But most of all, it’s going to be different being 21 the majority of the year. I don’t really know how much different it’s going to be, but I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t looking forward to it.

Final Thoughts
I’ll be at Loyola until Wednesday afternoon, so adjust your schedule accordingly. That means Wednesday’s entry will come from the shores of southern Jersey, aka my house.
Lyrics of the Week
For the start of these, I went with one of the most famous songs from my favorite band. I can tell I’m going to have a lot of fun with this department…
Radiohead – Karma Police
Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he's like a detuned radio.
Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.
This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.
Karma police
I've given all I can,
it's not enough,
I've given all I can
but we're still on the payroll.
This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

Halfway Home
Welcome back everyone. Hope you all had yourselves a weekend.
So it’s obvious that everyone is just about done school. Finals are a bitch, we all know that. But alas internet, I have good news. Adam Romo has completed two years of college. Yep. Halfway done his college career. Hard to believe right? But I’m actually ok with it. Think about it. I’m 20 years old and halfway done college. At this rate, I’ll finish college when I’m 40! That’s 20 more years I have of Loyola, video games, drinking, making ridiculous videos, getting kicked out of Reefers/the Den/Swallows, losing things in cabs, laughing about the weekends, going to the FAC twice a semester, cursing the Bookstore for ripping me off, spitting horrible game, watching movies/sporting events instead of doing homework, procrastinate, lose embarrassingly in intramural softball, and of course swipe people into their building.
Seriously, though. What the hell? Just two more years of college left?? Four years ago I dreaded going to college thinking I’d be the kid who would have no friends and is so quiet that everyone would think he’s a creep and probably secretly inventing a special kind of glasses that can enable one to see through female underwear. Now, not only am I almost done those glasses, but I cannot begin to imagine leaving this place and all the people I've met along the way. So I won’t anymore. That’s for another blog down the road…

Welcome to the Future
Hey. How's it going?
You may be thinking, why am I reading this jerk-off's blog? Am I that drunk / much of a procrastinator? Is it wrong to go 3 days without showering if I'm not going out of the house? Actually I was just thinking that last one.
Anyway, whether by force, luck, or divine intervention, you have come across the blog of the future. Big things will be coming from this blog. I’m talking earth-shattering, ground-breaking, tampon-leaking, bed-wetting, AIDs-curing, big time things.
So I suppose I should introduce myself to you. There’s a good chance you already know me, however I’ll go through the motions, primarily because I have nothing else to talk about for my first post. (I know, genius does not come from out of nowhere. The big-bang only happened once.)
My name is Adam. You may know me as one of my many nicknames: Romo, Romano, Bromo, Roman Governor, Pussy, etc. I am currently 20 years old and a journalism major at Loyola College in Baltimore. Everything else about me can be found out by checking out my profile, or actually talking to me in person…
Currently I am dealing with finals, before starting summer vacation. It won’t be that much of a vacation, as I will be working constantly. That’s all for now. Be sure to check back soon (though I’m sure I’ll be updating people on websites that people actually go on i.e. Facebook, Sporcle, Textsfromlastnight…) and tell your friends.
