The Legend of Sleepy Phillip

It seems like the hiatus I have unintentionally taken is finally coming to an end.  It has just been so difficult lately to find some free time, what with homecoming, preparing for Halloween, midterms, and - you guessed it - Phillip.  He spent the last couple of days making the absolute best Halloween decorations for our dorm room.  He's extremely resourceful, and I have a lot to learn from him still.  Using a ballpoint pen, two mattresses, four blankets, a bike chain, and a step ladder, Phillip has transformed our dorm room into a haunted halloween extravaganza.  I was so scared the first time I walked in!  Phillip bought some dry ice in order to create a sort of fog effect.  And boy, is it effective!  I told Phillip he should write a really really scary movie script.  He'd make millions - even trillions!  But maybe I just get overexcited for Phillip.  But one day in the future all the hype will be completely justified.  I am looking forward to what the future has in store for Phillip.  He'll strike it so rich some day, people will be asking him to loan them money.  He'll be that rich!  I just can't wait to go trick-or-treating with Phillip this year.  He's dressing up as Donald Rumsfeld, and I think I'll go as Roger Clemens.  I just know that Phillip will show me up!  But that's perfectly alright with me.  I enjoy admiring Phillip more than I do having people admire me.  I couldn't be more excited.  Halloween, here Phillip and I come! :) 

Phillip As A Reference Book And A Dinosaur: Philsaurus

My days with Phillip seem to get more and more exciting as the days pass.  We've shared so many memories that it would put a 'Nam vet to shame.  I'm starting to consider making a scrapbook.  You know, something for physical value that I can give to my kids some day.  Who knows? Maybe they'll be best friends with a Crawford of their own.  The world works in mysterious ways.  However, I'm glad that it has worked out the way it has with Phillip and me.  From the strolls around campus to the countless hours of Calculus homework, it would be hard for things to get any more perfect.  Phillip went to Walmart just the other day to stock up on bottled water and powdered milk.  He says that it's for next hurricane season.  I believe that he is a man of great foresight, and I greatly admire that.  For example, Phillip and I were having a conversation about Morrissey, and the song "You Have Killed Me" came on the radio in the next few minutes!  I was absolutely blown away.  I told Phillip that he should open his own telephone psychic hotline.  He just laughed it off, but I really think he would prosper! Pretty soon we'll all be phoning Phillip for advice about the future.  Try it out for yourself!  I promise you won't be disappointed.  The absolute last thing that Phillip Crawford could/would do to a person is disappoint them! :)  

World Without Phillip? World Without Prosperity.

It feels like I've come such a long way since my very first post.  And both Phillip and I have come such a long way.  I'm truly honored to be recording down - for the world to understand - what it's like to live with Phillip. These are the experiences that come only once in a lifetime.  These are the memories that both Phillip and I will look back on when we're 87 years old and say, "We had fun, you know?"  Oh, I know alright.  I know.  It's nearing the midterm, and I'm reflecting on what Phillip and I (mostly Phillip) have accomplished so far this semester.  Phillip has joined the Biotech club, aced tests, done homework, learned some sports, excelled, worked out, helped a friend in need, and even written letters to his teachers letting him know how much he appreciates what he has done for them.  All of this has inspired me beyond what I could have imagined.  I was extremely touched when I heard about the letters.  In fact, I have a challenge for anyone reading this right now.  I challenge you to write a letter of your own.  Not to your teacher though: to Phillip.  Write (or type) a personal letter to Phillip explaining how much you appreciate what he's done for you.  If you know where Phillip Crawford's dorm room is, deliver it to him personally.  If not, figure out some way to make sure your letter gets to him.  It's the absolute least we could all do for all Phillip has done for us.  Let him know you care.  Let him know he's cared for.  If Phillip is good enough to write letters of appreciation, we should be able to do the same for him!  I know that if you've met Phillip, he has affected your life in some way.  Even if you don't personally know Phillip, you have had to have heard of all the great things he's done.  Now it's our turn to repay him.  I challenge you!  Phillip cares.  Care for Phillip.  Good luck!  This ought to make him shine even more than normal.  If that's possible! :) 

Two Phillips, Divided By One Awesome, Equals Crawford

Wow... So much to type about that's happened in the past week.  It's been a bit hectic, and I admit I've been slacking a bit on the blog.  But things are getting easier with the help of Phillip.  He helps me so much with my homework.  I swear.. If homework was a profession, Phillip would be CEO.  So Phillip and I attended a lot of sports events this week.  He is a huge  sports fanatic.  We watched the men's volleyball team (which was Phillip's favorite by far) and stuck around afterwards to watch the women's volleyball team (which Phillip didn't enjoy as much).  Then after that, we went to the UGA football game.  It was packed!  The game was extremely exciting.  What made it even better was me and my fellow dorm-mate stood side by side cheering the Dawgs on to victory.  By the end of the game though, Phillip shared with me that he thought football was the downfall of humanity.  I didn't quite agree with him, but I always respect Phillip's opinion over anyone else's.  What a week... I had a blast.  Last night Phillip and I had another one of those deep conversations with each other.  We talked about all the issues we supported and advocated.  He shared with me his feelings towards solar power, artificial intelligence, cross-dressing, and countless others.  He starts to turn red when he debates, and it's priceless.  Well, I think Phillip and I are off to the student center to grab some breakfast, and maybe even stock up on our UGA gear for the next game!  I'm so excited! :)  

If Phillip Weren't an American, He Might Be of Some Other Nationality

Today was by far the most fun I've had with Phillip since last week. I don't know where to begin. This morning Phillip and I took a morning walk around campus, just to get some good ol' fresh air. He loves nature, and I think he tries to commune with it. Getting to know the spiritual side of Phillip is always interesting. I think that he was an old ruggish pioneer in his past life and went on the trek to map out the West for the United States. He strikes me as that type of person. Minus the typhoid! :) So we made our way to the rec center and geared up for some raquetball. Phillip has a lot of learning to do, but he is so persistent, and a quick learner. He'll get the hang of it! Then we headed over to the cafeteria for some grub. We were both famished. And then Phillip did something even more amazing than the garlic incident. He pulled out his Calculus homework and started working on it! Right at dinner! Everyone began to crowd around him. And boy, did they get a show. He was solving equations and eating Jell-o faster than the speed of a really really fast airplane. I kid you not. I'm really proud of how hard he works. I really enjoy eating dinner with Phillip. He always gives exotic names to the desserts. He calls the banana pudding that they serve "Bananrama Express". And the chocolate cake "Gulf War Syndrome: The Sequel". He doesn't really like the chocolate cake... But I admire his creativity a ridiculous amount. What will he think of next? Who knows! :)

But Nothing Rhymes With "Phillip Crawford". EXCEPTIONAL!

As I'm sitting here typing my fourth installment in the "Phil Up Your Life With Phillip" series, I realize how fortunate I am to have such a good friends as the one and only Phillip Crawford. Seriously. This guy would do anything for me. We went to Papa John's for some delicioso pizza earlier today. So we both order our own separate meals - I order a personal pizza with some breadsticks and Phillip orders a salad. When I got my food, I realized that the amount of garlic sauce they had given was not going to satisfy my needs. Now here's the amazing part: I didn't even have to say a word, and Phillip goes up to the counter and PAYS for a whole new container of garlic sauce. With his OWN money! Words can't describe how proud I was of him. I thanked him endlessly, but he just wouldn't have it. He said he believed that it was his own personal duty. He's such a good guy. Phillip just got finished with his laundry. He's always so clean. I admire that. Well, I guess we'll just have to see what tomorrow has in store for us. Check back soon! :)

Phillip in the Morning: How Are You?

Good morning everybody! I just woke up and the sun is starting to shine in the windows of our dorm. I'm trying not to wake up Phillip. He sleeps in late often, but he deserves to for all the hard work he puts in at our school. He says that I type too loud, so I'm typing verrry slowly. Phillip always gets cranky if he's woken up before he wants to. Don't tell him, but I'm stealing some of the food he bought for himself for breakfast. I can't help it though! Cinnamon Toast Crunch is so addicting! Last night Phillip and I stayed up until 1:00 in the morning. I was quizzing him with flashcards and he was on fire! Then we surfed MSNBC news on the internet and got caught up on all the current events together. Afterwards, we talked about what we wanted to do after college. You know, life plans and all the jazz. Phillip always talks about his dreams of engineering a new biofuel that will eliminate all dependancy on gasoline. I know that he could do it if he really put his mind to it. I told him that he should be a motivational speaker. I don't know why it is, but I always feel 10x better about myself after talking to him. I can't state enough how much of a great guy that kid is. He's going places. Oops! He's beginning to wake up I think. I hope it wasn't my fault! :)
