Update from Clint & Mike's Room: I've kept the holiday decor to a minimum as per Clint's request. I even went so far as to wrap his gift in 'It's a Boy' wrapping paper.

Anyone spot me on the fourth, sixth and fourteenth street bus station poster ads? The one with the shirtless guy in the Santa hat that supposed to be advertising milk and cookies? That's me. Pretty sure milk and cookie sales will go up anyway, but still.

Going home for Christmas, so everyone here at Stark's and Xavier's have a good Christmas.

As fun as a high-school Halloween dance sounds, I'm thinking haunted house on the 31st. Hear there is a great one in mid-town where they rent out an entire empty apartment building.

Update from Clint & Mikes's Room: Missing something. Maybe I can talk Clint into getting a dog or a cat or something. Is that allowed? It should be. I only saved the Headmaster's life and didn't get much more than a head nod. Or maybe something else. Where can you get one of those giant taxidermic polar bears? I think it would spruce up the place.

New modeling gig this week. I get to wear clothes this time. Queens here I come.

I think....I'm going to need to take a break from the journals for a little bit. It's nothing but bad news now a-days. It sucks feeling like you can't do anything to help.

Hey. Did you wanna meet up so I can take those pictures from you and give them to my manager?

Modeling agent told me I look more like a 'Zac' then a 'Mike.' Not sure how to take that.

Update From Mike & Clint's Room: Redecorating. Got tired of where the furniture was, so now I'm moving it. Pretty sure Clint wont mind...or probably notice. Any one know anything about feng shui? Or...what the hell feng shui even is?

Declared my major at Wakanda U. Human Physiology.

Football season is finally starting up again. Pretty sure it's a ways off before I can try out for a professional team, but I'll still be rooting for my Pats. I wonder if Wakanda has a football team.

Guess I'm going to Wakanda. Figured I might as well still go to college. Think they have a football team?

New modeling gig booked. Nothing special. I think it's for a milk ad.

Update From Clint & Mike's Room: All is well, though I think there is a problem with my laptop. Whenever I plug it in to be charged the little light doesn't go on right away and I have to wiggle it a bit before it recognizes it. Weird. Also, Clint just walked in. Everyone say 'hi Clint.'

Going for a ride out on the bike today. It's an ok enough day. A little overcast but not raining.

So I realized that the glory of summer is nearly over and my bike is going to be pretty useless in the winter.

This weekend I'm heading down to visit my folks so I'll be back by Monday afternoon, in case anyone is looking for me.

Need serious hang time. Poker night?

Happy birthday to me. The big 1-9. Or am I 1 again? It's been quite a year. Got a job. Died. Graduated. Got into NYU. Fought Nazis. Came back to life. Bought a motorcycle. And now, turned nineteen. Not exactly in that order.

Another bit of good news, my manager got me a commercial. It's only an online ad but it's for a good cause.

Think today is mostly going to consist of meditating and working out enough to legitimize eating cake tonight. Anyone know good bakeries in NYC?

Oh yeah....I'm graduating.

Probably a good idea to get my life in order for post-high school. And I should say goodbye to those girls who've been strategically sitting behind me in every class since sophomore year though I'm not leaving the school just to see how they react. It'd just be funny to see if they start to cry.

Getting hooked on Dota 2. Anyone else like that game? I'm a noob so I keep getting slain. Also haven't settled on a Hero yet. Need to find my preference.

Meditation and the new Star Trek movie are an interesting combo when doing one right after the other.

Just found out there is a hotel in Fiji where they have underwater hotel rooms. As my mom always say, 'I want to go to there.'

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Reorganizing. Figured I wanted to clean out my closet and desk because it's gotten messy.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Clint's over there doing...something. I dont know. Can't see from here and too lazy to turn around.

Was pretty tempted to skip out on prom this year but decided I should probably go, it being my senior year and all.

New water bottle = back to the gym. Been slacking on my regiment since I realized I should be studying for finals, and grandpa Erskine reminded me that I cant slack or my blood pressure will get high. Though ever since I died I've been feeling the effects less so these past few months. Maybe I'm growing out of them.

Great day out for a ride, so I'm taking my bike out for a spin.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Quiet....too quiet.

Also...I don't know if it's 'get everything off your chest week' or what. First Anthony and now Brian. So....nah. Nevermind.

Battalion. As team co-captain I'm gonna suggest we run a couple casual drills. You know, just so we don't loose our cool and keep on our toes.

Meditation time.

Booked another underwear ad. Calvin Klein this time. Not like, their spokes model or anything. Just catalogue stuff. It should help pay off my bike though. Maybe I can upgrade after.

How is it still cold outside? I mean, it not bothering me. I'm pretty much warm all the time, but still. Isn't it supposed to be spring in New York?

So I wanted to pull an April Fools day prank on Clint, but he's out of town so it woudn't have been any fun to replace all his arrows with nerf darts like I wanted to. Maybe next year.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Like the song says, all by myself. Doing homework.

I had a really lame spring break. I visited my folks though in Connecticut. They were happy to see me.

Gone back to meditating. I love it. My modeling agent referred me to a yoga instructor in the city. Guess she teaches a lot of classes with models and even a couple celebrities in them. I'm debating if I should go though because it's pretty expensive.

My mother was very disappointed I didn't bring a boy home for Easter. I think she's trying to live vicariously though me. Anyone want to meet my mom? She'll pinch your cheeks and make you cookies for the rest of your life.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Nothing new. We're boring guys today. Thinking of playing video games but should probably be doing something more productive.

Booked another modeling gig. I'm going to be in a Lacoste ad. Guess they have a new line of shorts or something coming out in spring, so I'll be wearing those standing at a pool or something. So...buy Lacoste, everyone. That way I can get paid.

Mom and Dad got a coupon for a free family portrait or something and decided to go take it for fun without me or Grandpa Erskine. This is what they ended up sending me. Said it was the best out of 15 photos. It's cute. At least they're happy.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Clint is naked, so get here while you can, ladies. Kidding. He's just changing shirts.

I got my philosophy scholarship. So that's good news. I've also applied to NYU. Figured if I go to school in the city I can still stay here at this school and shop around for things I like. Still going to do the modeling thing, since that's working out nicely. I go in this week to model for some fancy vodka party. I guess they just want me to stand around with other models and drink. Well, pretend to drink. They'll give us water because they don't want their models drunk.

NBA isn't doing it for me. I miss football.

It's also getting a tiny bit warmer, which means I can go back to riding my bike. Once you get on a motorcycle, it's very hard to go back to a car.

Battalion + Cap [26 Feb 2013|11:27am]
So...why do we suck? I mean seriously. We've got such a good team and we actually did well this time around. As team captain I need to figure this out.

So...I thought we did pretty good but I guess the judges thought otherwise. I just wanted to commend all of you. Teddy, thanks for holding up the team with me. Patsy, I had no idea you had such a mean swing with a bat! Jolen, thanks for the reinforcement, your strength is insanely valuable. Maybe a little less....wild and crazy next time, yeah? These team challenges are fun but I know we're being judged on being focused.

Gert...well...maybe Uncle Steve isn't wrong with trying to get you to start running.

Brian, for your first run you did pretty awesome. Good to know you've got a lot of speed and power behind you.

I guess we'll just wait and see what Cap has to say. Maybe he'll have suggestions.

So...my football scholarship was declined. I guess putting a player on the field with 'super powers' is a strong "violation and insult to the rules and regulations of the sport."

I get it, but did they have to put it that way? It makes me sound so...mean for trying to play.

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: Smells kinda like waffles. Don't know why.

Carol, you won me in the Valentine's Bachelor auction! What are we doing for our 'date?'

Update from Clint & Mike's Room: New pajamas with pirate 'skull and cross-bones' on them. Epic. That is all.

Was called in for another modeling gig. Guess I'm going to be in an ad for some headphones or something. Also, they decided they are going to use my picture for the cologne box, which is pretty cool. I'll be in stores everywhere! Well, sort of. And it's a nice little bonus check for me.

My philosophy scholarship made it to the second round of screening, which is good. Haven't heard back about my football scholarship yet though. I wonder what's taking them so long...

I honestly don't know who to root for in the Super Bowl. My team didn't make it in either. Nor did my backup team. So go...whoever I guess?
It'll still be fun to watch though.

I finally stopped being lazy and applied to a few schools. I personally didn't think college was for me but...not only is Mom insisting I give it a try, I figure it's probably for the best. Better than the army, like my dad's plan. So...we'll see who says yes. I've got a pretty extensive list of good grades and extra-circulars. Don't see how I couldn't get into NYU or something.

Haven't heard back from my philosophy or football scholarships. I'm sure it'll be any time now.

I'm gonna go meditate.

Update From Clint & Mike's Room: Boring. Haven't seen Clint in a while actually. Wonder where he went.

Football season is nearly over. I can almost feel the joy being sucked out of my springtime.

Been taking the new motorcycle out on a couple spins. Love the way this baby handles.
I got another check for that cologne ad I did. I guess it's a popular one and they're thinking of putting it on the box the bottle comes in. Which would be awesome.

Also, I'm applying for a football scholarship...and philosophy scholarship. Figure I'll try everything out till I get turned down.
