Motto: Somebody Wrote Gullible in the Motto…. (it was Me)

 > So It’s Been a While. Big Deal. Have YOU Been Going to College? It’s Time Consuming. It Consumed My Time. Updating Takes about an Hour. It’s Hard to Find a Spare Hour these Days. What with School and Homowork and Videogames (which blatantly take precedence over the column) and All.

 > I’m on One of KU’s Computers. It’s Cool, Though- You Can have it for Personal Uses (which is what 95% of the people in this library are doing) Somebody Wrote on the Screen with a Pencil. I’m Scared to Erase it Though, Because I have Already Written Some Stuff Underneath it and I’m Scared to Erase It, Too.

 > Yes, History was Made. Halo 3 Came Out. Does Master Chief Save the Human Race and All of the Universe? I Don’t Know. I Do Know that Multiplayer Online is Wicked Sweet. However, That’s not the Main Point of this Bulleted Item. The Main Point is How Much Ability it has to Bring People Together. Everybody was so Excited about It. You Could Walk Up to About any Random Somewhat Un-cool Looking Dude and Say “Halo 3 is Tomorrow” and Strike up a Rather Involved 2 hour Conversation. Small Talk was Now Easy. On Nick and I’s Trek 10 Minute to Best Buy to Pick Up Our Preordered Copy we Saw No Less than 3 Other People On There Way to Saving the Universe. Each of Which was Easily Approachable and had a Smile on Their Faces. Twice Already We’ve Played in the Same Rooms with Dudes Who’s Names I Didn’t Even Know, I’ve Learned Their Names, which is, of Course, the First Step in the Direction of a Mutual Liking between the Two Parties.

 > I’m Drinking Pink Lemonade. It’s a Staple of Mine. Along with Cookie Crisp and Fruity Pebbles.

 > I had a Rather Fun Night a Few Nights Back (Last Friday.) Nick and I Played Doubles Ping-Pong against Two RA’s from Ellsworth. I Think What Made it So fun was that it was Done At 12:30 at Night. It was Actually a Pretty Evenly Matched Game. Nick beat Shaun (the RA.) If You Don’t Know Shaun This Won’t be Impressive, but Since I Do, It Impressed Me. Nick Now has a Head the Size of a Watermelon because of the Fact.

 > Here’s Something I Thought of Yesterday. When You Say “He’s Very Modest” It Usually Means “He” is Really Good at Something… But if You Say “It’s Very Modest,” It Usually Means whatever “It” is has Pretty Crappy. That Word Goes Both Ways… Like a Bisexual.

> I Think My TA’s Recognize Me. One Referred to Me by Name the Other Day. Although He Could have Just been Reading it from the Bold Letters on My Chest Quite Obviously Spelling it Out.

 > Ping-Pong on the Year: Nick 47 Aaron 28 (so he’s had a bit of a winning streak)

Quote:

” YES! I Knew if I took Long Enough You’d F*ck Up from Boredom! “
         - Some Kid Playing Chess Against His Friend in Mrs. E’s – 

” HALO 3: We Know, Try to Keep it in Your Pants “
         - The Whiteboard in Our Lobby at Ellsworth (at exactly Midnight Two Days Ago) – 

” I’m Gunna Try to Shave with My New Razr Phone “
         - Nick Garrett – ” Well that was Fun “
         - Shaun Bell, After the Pysc Exam, I Laughed at the Time  –

Fact: “Normal” means “Perpendicular,” and “Significant” means “Reliable.”

 >  Let Me Get Started Off with a Note about the Fact- Those are Two Translations of Words from Different Subject Perspectives. Normal Normally Mean’s Normal- But when Looked at from a Physical Point of View, the “Normal” Force- the Force on a Object Perpendicular to the Surface it’s Resting On. The Significant Side of that Sentence is Dwells within the Realm of Psychology-

 > So I have to Share My Bathroom with 8 or 9 Other Dudes, Right? You’d Think, Since that Bathroom is the Bathroom that They Call Home to, They’d Try to Keep it Nice I mean, It’s Not like This Thing is a True Public Restroom… Anyways, After Many Instances of Disgust I’ve Decided to Take Up an Alias “Tinkle Fairy” (which many of you might recognize from “the Family Guy”) and Leave Little Inspirational Messages Now and Again… Here’s My First Set of Messages…. Wide Angle – Sign One – Sign Two. (note: as of 2 Hours Later, the Messages are Still Up- But Ineffective Against the Onslaught of Human Urine)

 > You Might Ask “Hey Aaron, Didn’t You Update Yesterday?” Well My Friend, the Answer is “Why Yes, I Did.” (and if you scroll down you’ll notice that I incorrectly Labeled it as Two Days Ago…) “But Aaron, Why in God’s Name Would You Update the Column More than Once Ever Millennia?” Well, I Can Answer that Simply. I’ve Caught Up on All of My Homework- and I’ve Got Nothing Much better to Do. Plus Lately I’ve Been Inspired. You Might also be Asking, “Aaron, We are About Halfway Through the Update, and you Haven’t Mentioned Anything about Hitman yet?” Well, Right Again You are My Friend… Will I Discuss Hitman any Further from Last Time? Let’s Read on and Find Out… Shall We?

 > FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE HITMAN MOVIE THAT WAS MENTIONED LAST UPDATE: Well, If You Didn’t Watch the New Trailer in the Last Update Like I Suggested, I Suggest You Go Back and Follow My Suggestion (both this one and the last one) – That’s Option A, Option B is to Skip Down to the Next Bulleted Item Right Now. I’d Like to Point Out How Well Filmed this Trailer Seems to Be. Every Shot in it is What I would Deem “a Good Shot.” The Overhead of the Group Walking in the Hall, the Guns from the Ice Bin, the Part Where that Lady’s Top Starts to Come Off… All Very Good Shots. The Only Thing I’m Worried about is that They will Deviate from 47’s Personality in the Games, One of Almost Pure Silence and Mystery, in Order to Try to Make Him into a More “Badassed Vin Diesel Triple X” Style. From a Filmmaker’s Perspective I See Why They Would Do so, It Draws in a Much Wider Audience Appeal… But from the Videogame Enthusiast (nerd)’s Perspective, I Could See them Really Failing with the Truly Dedicated Fans of the Series. They Already Did it Once When They Elected Not to Chose David Bateson for the Character (the ACTOR that 47’s Character was both Modeled after, and Voiced By) Anyways, Because You Read this, You Now are Entitled to Put a “Do Not” After the First Word of the Next Bullet… And Pretty Much Skip Over Everything After “Suck.”

 > You Suck, You Should have Watched the Trailer.

 > Yeah.

 > Okay This Completely Fizzled Out at the End. I’m Going to Call Christine and Read about Hitman. Have Fun Until I Update Again.

” There was a Girl Today Who Said ‘Wicked Awesome’ and it Made Me think of You “
         - Nick Garrett, after I asked him if “nifty” was a cool word to use –
” Just Because it is ‘Significant,’ it Doesn’t Necessarily Mean it’s ‘Important’”
