Motto: Blue Powerade Aids My Power

 

 > Carlos Mencia is not nearly as funny as he thinks he is. There I said it. I’m tired of seeing his commercials while I’m watching the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. He sucks. If you like him or his show, I would be willing to bet you are an elite member of the bottom-half of society.

 > I finished my basketball/skateboarding-not-supposed-to-be-taken-seriously video. “Seriously Extreme Basketballing.”

 

 > I really ran out of things to say quickly with this update. There’s another Carlos Mencia ad on tv right now. I really, really, can’t stand that smug unfunny bastard. Sometimes advertisements can work against themselves. Check the top five.

 > I can’t use my phone at work to write down quotes, that’s really the only time I have much social interaction. So I guess I’m going to have to figure something else out…

 

Top 5: Advertisements that have caused me to never do what they want me to do.

 

5. Those online dating service commercials, not only because I have a girlfriend already, but also because the announcer sounds stupid. He’s permanently stuck in that “baby talk” voice mode.

 

4. E-surance, need I say more?

 

 

3. Carlos Mencia’s commercials. Smug. Stupid.

 

2. HeadOn- that direct forehead medicine. Apply directly to the forehead. I will kill you.

 

1. Any Old Navy commercials. I cannot stand ANY of those retarded ads.

First Update Since Summer

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Motto: Spring had already sprung, and summer has now… been summoned.

 

 > It’s been a long time since I updated. Summer has started. I’m working two jobs in Emporia right now, I’m still considering taking on a third. There’s a simple reason why it’s been so long since I’ve updated: Christine’s sister had a baby, so she flew out to North Carolina to see her. I can communicate with her (for the most part) only through email. So any spare time I have to sit down and write has been dedicated to our email conversation. Today, however, I felt updating might be necessary.

 

 > I’m 2/3rds done with a video. Basically it’s a ½ basketball - ½ skateboarding video that is only supposed to be taken 1/4th seriously. It has nothing to do with fractions, though. I expect to finish by my next update. I had planned on finishing it tomorrow; however due to circumstances beyond my control (even though they were created by me) I cannot work on it tomorrow.

 > I now have this Blog being posted as an RSS Feed on my Facebook account. That’s some pretty cool shit. Also, my YouTube account is on there.

 

 > That’s pretty cool. I haven’t really thought of much else to write on here. Other than I’ve had vivid dreams every night since school’s been out. During school, I dreamed much less frequently. I wonder why?

 > Just to spice things up a bit:                                                                     Sex.

 

 > I had the privilege of seeing Josh Weltha the other day. I forgot that he was hysterical. I didn’t have my phone on me to write quotes down, so… you’re SOL. (shouldn’t SOL really be SOOL? I guess the USA should be USOA, too. Insignificant words aren’t added to acronyms, are they. Huh.)

 

Top 5: Applications I use on Facebook (the only five)

 

5. Video

 

4. Notes

 

 

3. Groups

 

2. Bumper Sticker

 

1. Photos

Putting off Studying for Finals- To Do: (337)

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Motto: The Clock is Ticking Towards Summer

 

 > Usually when I write a column there is an inspiration which gets me going. Today’s muse is a list of “important things to do” that I found in my Sound Film notebook when preparing to study. I think I might have already had a few of these items on a previous top five… but not all of them. So check out my Top 12:

 

 > Okay, here’s an idea I just had for a game. You and an opponent each have a computer (laptop preferably) and are hooked on to the same speed internet connection… you start off at Wikipedia homepage (or anywhere you want really, wikipedia is just the easiest) and you think of a thing or person, say… Gandhi. Then you say “go” and you race to see who can find a picture of whatever your topic is first… without using the keyboard. You have to find a way to get from any article, to Gandhi… then, when one of you wins- you can pick out a new topic and start from the Gandhi page. It might be really stupid, it might be really dumb… but I think it could be fun if you were bored enough.

 > I want to live a more healthy lifestyle. So that, when I’m 28, I’ll still be able to go on American Gladiators and at least make it through the eliminator. Oh, and by the way, I watched American Gladiators yesterday. It’s on NBC on Mondays at 7 or 8 or something… I really recommend it.

 

 > Once again a semester went by where I bought books that “were required” for class and never even cracked them open. Next year, I’m only going to buy books that I’m sure I will use.

 > If you are bored, after reading the top 12 and the quote, go to Wikipedia’s homepage, try to find a picture of Jim Carrey without touching your keyboard. You’ve got 10 Minutes. Go.
