| On Thursday, October 28, 2004 I attended a political rally for John Kerry on The Ohio State Univeristy campus. It took me approximately three hours to get through the line, where I then set off the metal dectectors and had to be searched even further. It took another two hours before Bruce Springsteen took the stage to perform, and finally Kerry came out and spoke to the audience. Above are pictures of my ticket to the event, as well as a picture of John Kerry while he was speaking. I was probably 30-40 feet from the stage, so I circled him in the picture. Although Kerry lost the election, the 2004 election year marks the first time that I've ever taken an interest in politics, and I have continued to research political activity since that time. |

| November 2004 was also an exciting time because I had the opportunity to attend the Ohio State/ M*ch*g*n game in the 'Shoe. It was the most surreal experience of my life. Nothing beats 105,000+ fans crammed into a stadium, on their feet and cheering. It doesn't matter who you are or who you know, you always have a friend if you're at the game. This particular game was even more exciting than any other I've attended, as we beat some Wolverine booty. The first picture is obviously me at the game. The second picture is the crowd outside the 'Shoe pre-game. |

| Alas, a not so exciting time. I figured I'd throw this one in as well. This was taken the day I had my wisdom teeth removed. My whole face was swollen. Bad experience. Bad, bad experience. |
